Chapter 13

Enric ,a few minutes ago, is gone. Laura alone in the bar waiting. Julio enters the bar. Laura raises her hand when she sees him.

"You've awakened from a nap?" she questions.

"No. Not so. I was writing some letters ..."

" A girlfriend?"

Suddenly, Julio gets very serious.

"Because I say that?"

"Do not get mad now, man. It was just a joke".

"Okay, "she says as she stands near Julio, "I will order something to drink".

Laura is by herself for just a few minutes. Think about all the things you will say to Julio. Must gain time. Julio has to stay there with her ​​two hours at least. Should get it. Meanwhile, Enric ...

"Well, what happens now?" asked Julio, who is back with a beer. He also seems to be tired.

"You gotta help me, Julio. Jose is not the murderer".

Julio starts to feel ill. Is like saying: Do not waste my time! At the end is silent. Do not know why, but remains silent.

"I've called," continued the girl, "because the we have to think about a plan to catch the murderer of Maribel. Only then, the police can release to José. Now I'll tell you all ... Recently, someone told me something very important ..."

The girl tries to talk without getting nervous.

" ... When the police lifted the body of Maribel one of them found a gold button on the floor. I think Maribel grabbed the jacket of her murderer. And then, the button fell off".

Julio looks to her eyes and says nothing.

"I blieve that the police will not do anything with the button. But I thought we both could use this information. And get to know who the murderer is. What do you think?"

Laura drink some coffee.

"I do not know, "said Julio. " I do not know what to think".

"We have to try. José is not the murderer".

"That's what you say".

Julio starts to get a headache. Is too hot and you feel sick. Suddenly, you see a strange white light across the face of Laura. Julio runs his hands over his eyes. We seem to have filled with sand. Laura wants to see but cannot. This really scared. He is afraid and thinks of his mother. Then the light goes off in your head but not Laura. No, the girl who is in front of him, not Laura. Is Maribel. Maribel dead, very white with brown markings around his neck, his neck so cold ... Gradually Maribel face returns to its normal color. And is alive. Her mouth moves.

"Is something wrong?" hears the girl.

He realizes that Laura is back. Laura is there again with him.

"Julio! Something happen?" says the girl again.

"No, no, "replies while moving his hands over his eyes.

"No, I thought you were sick ..."

"No, no, really".

"Well. Then, you will help me or not?"

"Yes, okay. But ... not now ..."

Julio is not good. This really scared him and wants to go home. Looking at his watch nervously.

"... now I cannot stay. Sorry ..."

"And our plan ?..." questioned Laura.

"Do not worry. I'll think about it. Really ... I will find a solution".

"You cannot stay a little longer? I just want to be here alone, I don't know ... Let's think a bit. You were a friend of Maribel and you know ..."

"No, seriously. I have to go. If you like, morning again and we talk about this issue. Okay?"

"Okay," Laura says. "Until then, Julio".
