That morning, Andrew and I picked up so many candies, snacks and chewing gum. That it was possible to open our own company.
- We can go now - I say
- Still , I need to do something. - said Andrew
- Then do it - said Natasha
Andrew went to the register and put a few cents on it.
- You are funny, you pay what you stole - I say smiling
- Do what? - replied Andrew
- And now? - asked Natasha
"I don't know, " said Andrew
- Great two teenagers, one in a wheelchair, in the middle of the night picking up sweets - said Natasha
- We are eccentric - said Andrew smiling
- You bet you do - I say
"We have to go," said Andrew
- They should have gone already - I answer
"Watch," said Andrew
- What? - I ask
- The lights of the city and the silence of the night. - said Andrew
- You are a good observer - I say
"Thanks, it's a gift," said Andrew
- It's almost dawn - I answer
- Lilian continued to sleep - said Andrew
- Exactly - I say
We returned home, with some bags and pockets full of goodies, Lilian was still sleeping or seemed to be.
I took off my shoes and when I put my jacket on the bed, Lilian asked:
- Where were you?
- On an adventure - I say
- What do you mean in "an adventure"? - asked Lilian curiously
- Look at this - said Natasha
- Sweets - said Lilian excitedly
- That's right - I say
- You are complicated, go out in the middle of the night, with a guy in a wheelchair - said Lilian
- What's the matter? - I ask
- You are a bad influence - said Lilian taking the candy
- A good link ? If not, I think it was - said Natasha
- Now that I woke up, shall we have coffee? - asked Lilian
- No, no, no - I say
- Yes, yes, yes - said Lilian
- Um, okay, waffles? - I ask
- Good choice - said Lilian
- But what are you going to do - said Natasha
- Ok - said Lilian
Three minutes later, someone was at the door. Natasha went to answer it, while Lilian prepared the coffee.
- Yea? - I ask
- Good morning, is Andrew in? - he asked the police
- He is sleeping. - I answer
- Well, then you can warn that his brother, Liam was not found. But we will spare no effort to find it. said the other police
- I'll inform you , thank you. said Natasha
- See you soon and have a good day. said the policeman
Lilian appears in front of Natasha with a metal bowl stirring the waffle batter
- Who was?
- The cops - I reply
- Any news? - asked Andrew
- No, unhappy but we can not lose faith - said Natasha
"All right , at least they're looking for," said Andrew sadly
- They are ready - said Lilian
- It's not a good time - whispered Natasha
"No problem, let's have coffee," said Andrew
- I know this is not the time, but this story is very poorly told. How Liam disappears and nobody knows anything. I say
- Natasha, I think the same - said Andrew
- How about we ask the neighbors - suggested Lilian
"So after breakfast, we'll go to each house," said Andrew
First we ask the neighbor on the left side, in the house lived a sweet old lady, Mrs. Judite, she invited us to have tea and cookies.
- Well children what do you bring, you here? - asked the lady
"We didn't want to disturb you , but my brother disappeared," said Andrew
- It is not a bother, how did it disappear? - asked Judith
- Well, it was a few days ago, we arrived from the hospital and the next day he was not in the room and nowhere - I say
- I see - said the lady
- Can I get the cookies? - asked Lilian
- But of course dear, as many as you want - said the lady
- Thank you - said Lilian
- We have to connect the dots, thank you so much for the information - I say
- I didn't see anything strange, always at dawn I collect the garbage outside, so as not to accumulate the next day. But in your house everything was normal - said Judite
" Many thanks for the information," said Andrew
"It was a pleasure," said Judite.
We went out towards the house on the right side, where John an old man lived. We asked about the disappearance but nothing, none of them heard or saw anything.
A new message arrived on Natasha's cell phone that said:
The ticking of the clock is accelerating. Time running out ...
- Another message? - asked Lilian
- I'm tired of this little game - said Andrew
- Think, we can't get ahead of ourselves. A false country, we lost everything. - I answer
- Natasha, you're right. Andrew be calm. Everything will be back to normal - said Lilian
"It's all I want," said Andrew.
We sat on the sidewalk, watching the blue sky, Natasha looked at Lilian and said:
- Should I call Mom? - I ask
- No, you should, - said Lilian
- Hello, mom, I'm missing you, call me when you can - I say
- What happened? - asked Lilian
- She didn't answer - I reply frustrated
- Normal, the strange thing was if she answered - said Lilian
We all laughed, Andrew said that at the time when they were children, Liam and he built a fort and stayed, all night, reading comics and eating chocolate chip cookies.
- The way you say it, you really love him - said Lilian
"Despite fights and discussions, we are always united," said Andrew
- I know it is difficult, nobody better than me, to extend it - I answer
- I think, Natasha meant is that, homesickness is greater when you are alone - said Lilian
"But I'm not alone," said Andrew
- No? - asked Lilian
- Don't you know why? Because I have you - said Andrew
Lilian and Natasha hugged Andrew.
- We will always be on your side, that means family . Support, strength and companionship - I say
- That's it. - said Lilian
"I don't know what I would do if you weren't here," said Andrew
- So don't think - I answer
- You think too much, this is the roblema - said Lilian
Andrew was silent after the phone rang and Lilian ran out to answer it.
- Sarah, good. Any news? - asked Lilian
"I mean , somebody made a friend," said Andrew
- It's good for her, with everything that happens - I say
- Tomorrow? Of course. Both? Yes - said Lilian
- Are you okay? - I ask
"I'm staying," said Andrew
- Sometimes I feel like going back in time, you know? - said Andrew
- Life needs to be lived intensely and without regrets, which pass on causing us pain. said Natasha holding Andrew's shoulder
"The best possible," said Andrew
