Chapter 25

Zacharias and Leonel arrived next to the man, who was dying.

--I am guilty. I always knew what was going on here and I said nothing. --He gasped, spurting blood from his mouth.

Zacharias looked at Leonel and denied with a gesture. There was nothing to be done.

--My daughters. He's going over there.

--That bastard killed Darzinda and stole my car.

--My daughters... my daughters... I'm cold…--the man implored before dying, leaving his eyes open

--Do you know where the farm is?-- asked Zacharias, as he closed the presbyter's eyes.

--Yes. I know. The important thing is how we will get there.

--Well, I have a way. With Bugs' truck we'll never reach it. But with my horse we did.

They placed the presbyter's corpse on the sidewalk, while all the miners and Stella watched them from the restaurant window. They looked at each other.

--Zacharias asked Leonel, --Do you see them?
