And so, that Monday, April 19, 1982, came the day of the return to school, so awaited by some, so detested by others; Soledad asked them to erase the drawing of the magic door of their rooms to the girls, to avoid future confusion and already when the last of the students entered their respective school; Adelina and Soledad returned to the mansion, which was being guarded by a volunteer guard of the new insurgent army, made up of gang members from the Veracruz-boca del Rio conurbation, who thanks to René had united by ceasing to fight for that territory, promising to keep it safe during his absence.
-Already with the boys of the neighborhood and the unit of the navy standing guard I feel a little calmer, and now yes, the president of the city promised me not to remove them nor, even if a year passes, by orders of the governor of the state, Míster Agustín Acosta Lagunes, the Countess appears or not. –says Doña Adelina.
"Maybe, although I don't really know, last time I felt very weak, like she didn't defend herself. –says Soledad. —Or maybe their only goal was to take your child.
- This has already made him personal! –says Adelina. – Is there no way for you to make me a guardian of humanity? Look, I'd rather see René die of old age than know him dying because that cursed witch took him.
Adelina says, while they made food for the pensioners, since the maids had also gone on vacation and arrived in the middle of the week, also Leticia Correa who had been very busy all those days, in interviews and reports regarding the demonstrations of the Countess, went from time to time to visit them, as on that occasion that she had to help prepare the food.
-I do not even know what official version to give, the good thing is that the neighborhood guard does not let anyone outside the mansion approach, with yesterday's demonstration the siege by the curious increased again, the good thing is that I already have identified among the select group of the inhabitants of the mansion, as they tell us in the news, because if not, They would never have let me in. –says Leticia. -Perhaps the best thing about all this is that the neighborhood has been twinned, and they no longer fight among themselves, even in the schools where our girls study they have volunteer guards, with banners and everything, the banners say: "Insurgent army of the Román mansion" And people see them with good eyes, even normal and military food and clothes take them; You know what? I know how I am going to divert the attention of tourists and groups of hunters, I will make a report to the insurgent army to discourage them from coming, you see that they do not let anyone approach, But they don't tell the neighbors or those passing through anything, besides the fact that there are city traffic officers evicting cars that are parked and that are not from the area.
- Yes, that's fine, but eat first! –says Adelina. -That you have become so skinny that when you eat a crocodile, not even hunger will take away.
