-I have to go to the library.
Romaia says as they get into the car, leaving the school.
- So am I going to leave them or do you want to accompany me?
- And how for what? We have no homework today to go to the library. –Pamela replies.
-I want to know more about the countess of Malibrán and the Witch of the Sand, rather I am interested in knowing about the potions she used to control her lovers; You imagine it? If we could get one of the potions that she used, maybe that way we could avoid being cheated on. –says Romaia.
- What are you talking about, little crazy girl?
Asks Pamela and what they came to the library; Érika and Romaia briefly told them about the legend Adelina had told them the night before.
- Do you have a book that tells us about the legend of the countess of Malibrán? –Érika asks the librarian.
-In myths and legends of the city, corridor 2, shelf 3 of the door towards the back. –Answers the serious woman without showing much interest.
The vast and old library contained an infinity of books.
And although they found one that spoke very briefly of the aforementioned legend in one of its chapters, nothing told them that Mrs. Adelina had not already told them during the talk the night before, the librarian She was a pretty, dark-haired woman with abundant black and curly hair, already in her 30s, she watched them carefully, since it was strange that young girls from a good family like those they were interested in that old popular legend, and more than anything it surprised her because during her more than 20 years as a librarian, no one had asked her about that legend.
- What exactly are you looking for, girls?
She asked them when she saw them looking for more books of myths and legends, even though they had already been consulting them for more than 3 hours.
- Do you have any that tell us about the sandy witch? The one who prepared her potions for the countess of Malibrán. –Romaia asks her.
-That's why I ask them what exactly they are looking for, since I see them very interested in that popular legend. –The librarian answers.
-Exactly we want to know how to prepare her potions, the ones she used to enchant the sailors. -Romaia replies, already being more direct.
-Hmm, no, I don't think we have that book here.
The librarian responds, visibly nervous and curt.
Showing that obviously she was denying them the information; Pamela stared at her friends and made a gesture of discouragement, she told them.
- No way girls! Here we will not find what we are looking for the chemistry task. –And saying goodbye to the lady, they left the library.
- Obviously she's hiding something from us!
Pamela tells her friends, who apparently hadn't noticed.
-Now that I think about it, you're right, dial Ms. Adelina on the public phone to let her know that we're going to arrive later, because our homework here at the library got complicated. –Romaia says to Érika.
-If it is already 6 in the afternoon and the library is closed at 7, we will have to wait more or less until 7:30 for the old witch to close and we can get in some way.
Romaia says consulting the time on her Rado watch.
- You're crazy, how are we going to go to the library at night! That is a crime and we can go into the jail. –Pamela says.
-It shouldn't be difficult, I'm seeing that one of the bathroom windows is open and I don't think they'll close it, it's small, but I think I can get in if they help me reach it.
Romaia says pointing from her car to the bathroom window, and when her clock read after 7 o'clock, they approached the library.
But they saw through the windows that the librarian was looking for something between the shelves, and took a book to go out with him, putting it inside a grocery bag while closing the library, she being the last person to leave.
- Surely that is the book we are looking for! –Romaia says as they hide again.
- That is obvious! –Érika says. -But now; How do we remove it?
-Well, first you have to follow her, apparently I don't think she has a car, because she is walking towards the bowlevard. –Érika says.
-You follow us in your car in case she gets on a bus, while Erika and I follow her to see if she leaves the bag wrongly placed there, and we can steal it.
Pamela says and Romaia ran to start her car and turn it around.
The chase was slow because the lady apparently was not in a great hurry, and they were given 8 at night because the librarian did not seem to intend to get on any bus.
