Fugitive

-Where did he go? —Lucía asked, looking around.

"Maybe he's in the bathroom," Aldora said as she headed to the bathroom. "Oh no!"

-What happened? —Lucía asked, heading towards her. -"Shit!" Do you think he climbed out the window? "She," she said, sticking her head out the window and looking out.

-I think so, but why would I do that?

-Maybe he deceived us, and in reality he was a terrorist or a spy like your Grandfather said

-What if he isn't? He would be lost somewhere in the city

-Well, if that's the case, we have to hurry before something bad happens to him.

-Okay, I have to warn my grandfather.

-I don't think it's a good idea, since everyone thinks he's a terrorist, things get complicated if you tell him that he escaped.

-So tell me, how do we look for an amnesiac boy in this big city? you know perfectly well that it is impossible

-Yes, you're right, and the more time we waste, the more dangerous the situation will become, but how can we be sure that your grandfather's men won't hurt him?

-I trust my grandfather; and you? Do you trust me? —She asked, extending her hand.

Lucía looked into her eyes for a moment and said: - "always." The two ran to try to catch up with Mr. Clayton; While on the way, the nurses repeated the same thing over and over again: "You can't run through the hospital hallways." They finally managed to catch up with Mr. Clayton who was about to get into his car.

-Grandpa wait! —Aldora shouted, extending her right hand while his left hand rested on his knee, at the same time she caught her breath.

-What's wrong my girl?

-The boy is gone

-That? —She said suddenly while turning her head towards her bodyguard. - "I want everyone to look for that boy now."

-Wait!!!, -said Aldora grabbing his hand

-promise me that nothing will happen to him

-That depends on him, I just hope he doesn't resist; In the meantime, go home, I'll let you know if we have any progress.

-No. we will go with you

-It could take us all afternoon and you should rest...

"I said we're going too," Aldora said eagerly.

-It won't do any good to dissuade you, will it? —Clayton asked with a slight smile.

"You already know your granddaughter," he stated fervently.

-Then okay, but don't separate from me.

Hours passed and everyone continued searching until nightfall.

-It's getting late, we must go. -said Mr. Clayton

-We can't abandon him, he would freeze to death out there.

-We are not abandoning it, we can still search tomorrow; Unless you can think of somewhere he could be

"Your grandfather is right, we must go," Lucía said, looking at her with eyes that pretended "we have no other choice."

In the car on the way back, while Lucía was listening to music on her headphones, Aldora perceived on the other side of the road, through the windshield, a silhouette with the same bodily characteristics of the boy and suddenly shouted to the driver "Stop it." car !! "

-What happen? —Mr. Clayton asked.

-I saw it grandpa, I saw it

-That? where?

-He turned that corner. -He said pointing to the place -He is heading towards the river

-Okay, get in the car, I'll send my men after him.

--No. He will be scared if they see them all; I will go

-I can't let you go alone

-"She won't go alone, I'll go with her," Lucia said, resting her hand on Aldora's shoulder.

-Then we will go behind you, maintaining a considerable distance.

Meanwhile, the boy sat under the bridge with his hands tangled inside the hospital gown trying to stay as cold as possible. He suddenly stood up when he heard footsteps approaching.

-Who's there? He asked, scared.

"It's us," Aldora said as she slowly approached him.

-Aldora? No, don't come close. You want to take me with them right?, with the bad ones

-That? I'm not taking you with anyone, I just want to help you

-They are everywhere...everywhere! The screams don't stop, they want me, he said nervously, pulling his hair while he turned around repeatedly, he knelt down and hit the ground again and again, as if he didn't feel any pain... repeating the same thing "tell them to stop, please." make it stop"

-that? Do you remember something?

Aldora continued to slowly approach him as she asked more and more questions, but Lucia stopped her by grabbing her hand.

-I don't think it's a good idea, it doesn't seem right in the head, maybe it's dangerous. —Lucia said worried

"Don't worry, he's just scared," Aldora said as he approached until a voice in the distance called her.

-Aldora stay away from that crazy man! -Mr. Clayton shouted as his bodyguard went after the boy.

-Grandpa Noo! Tell them not to come near

-The bad guys are here; They want to kill me, - "said the scared boy as he fled, but in front of him, a few meters from where he was, came a crowd of colossal men; he retreated but the same thing happened on the other side, leaving the river as the only means of escape. " "I was surrounded."
