What is the English translation for chapter 17 in la chica de los zapatos verdes?

Answer 1

Chapter 17

After hearing the voice from the answering machine for the first time, Laura stopped, unable to move, without understanding. But listens to the device again. Yes, she heard it right and is very afraid now. Does not know what to do. Goes to the door and locks it. Then she begins to think there may be someone inside the house. Looks through all the rooms, very nervous now.

In the kitchen there is no one. No one in the bathroom either. She goes to her room. She seems to hear a noise. "Come on, Laura, quiet" she said to herself. Turns on the lights. Nothing. Looks under the bed. Goes to the closet. Does not know if she should open. Raises her hand and walks slowly. Suddenly,s he hears the same noise again. Laura screams without realizing it: Wow! Just the phone!

"Hello?"

" ..."

"Oh, it's you, Julio!"

" ..."

"See you now? Well ... yes, okay. Where are you?"

Julio ... The answering voice was not his ... and said that he was not the murderer ... So, Laura is wrong? At that time not to be left alone. No, Julio is not going to be worse than at home.

On the other side of the phone, Julio is delighted: Laura said yes.

"You know the bar La Vela?"

- ..."

"The street of Dr. Roux, under the Paseo de la Bonanova. You can take the subway or bus to Sarria ..."

- ..."

"Not good. Then, you go by taxi?"

- ..."

"Well, tell the driver that is on Dr. Roux street, on the corner of Dalmases... I leave in a minute".

- ..."

"Until now, Laura". Julio leaves the phone in place and looks around. Looking for his mother. Not seen. How odd, he thinks, was here a moment ago. Then leaves the room.

Starts calling from the hallway.

"Mama!, mama! I've done it, I called Laura, I called ..."

No one answers. "Well," says Julio, "perhaps you've forgotten to buy something".
