"You could talk to Julio?" asks Enric.

"Ya. He told me leave now".

Enric is looking at the square. He likes this place. When he looks at Laura again, the girl is crying silently.

"Poor Maria ...!

"How long have you known her?

"Since we were girls. She lived in a better neighborhood in Tres Torres. Her parents gave her everything she wanted. But she was not happy. At sixteen years, found a job. A little later she left home. Her family is very angry. In addition, Maribel moved in the old town with some friends. There she met and fell in love José. Then her parents did not want to see her anymore. They did not like José. They said he took drugs ... I'm sure that's not true.

"And José, how? "asks Enrique.

"Not a bad person, believe me. Before he painted. I've been painting many times. He does very well. But a few months ago he began drinking a lot. I do not know what can happen. Money, perhaps, to sell pictures these days is not easy...."

Laura looks up. Julio sees what Enric and Laura are doing. He goes to change into black pants and a red shirt.

"What a dirty place!" he says as he sits.

"What do we do?"asks Enric.

"We can go ..."Laura begins to tell him.

"We're going to a bar near here: El Dorado. You know it? Julio says while Laura finished. The police arrested José ..."

"What? The police cannot detain José's case. The murder was last night! They do not know anything yet".

"Well, well! I mean, the police came to get there to take him to the police station to ask questions".

"Okay, okay," said Laura, in a bad mood.

"Why not go to that bar? It may be interesting ... "said Enric shyly.
