36. The dramatic funeral of a drug dealer coyote

It was another Sunday in the town of Santo Tomás, the sun was not lacking. Of the 365 days a year, a maximum of 60 rained, the remaining days were mostly clear days, except from July to September, when with the arriving whales, the sky filled with clouds, and the sea became cold.

On the beach the people went out, some played beach soccer, others sat in their bathing suits on the sand, always hot at noon, a good time to talk, laugh, flirt, while the children drew figures in the sand, or with their parents, they walked to San Medardo, playing with the waves, the dogs, or collecting shells.

In certain aguajes, when the sea goes in and at the same time moves further away, the width of the beach could be up to a hundred meters, so the churos and small red crabs were everywhere.

This happiness of nature and people was like a tribute to the day when the fishermen did not go fishing until the night, when they once again embarked to jump the waves with their boats and canoes, heading towards an infinite darkness, which came after a golden sun, which painted the horizon and the water with nuances.

Máxima is about to return to her room after having a picnic watching the sunset when she came to see her.

She picked up the necessities from the dispensary and went to a house where they had him watching over a man like you thirty years old.

-Please doctor, the dead man is not dead, he breathes, we have all seen him and he even moved his eyes.

She examined him over and over again, since all those who watched him assured that he was still alive.

"When did he die?" She asked the deceased's wife that she would not stop screaming, crying, and repeating that he was alive and to be taken out of the coffin.

"Today in the morning," said another relative who was less upset.

- Where in?

-In the park, he gave him something like a heart attack, because he only gave a cry, put his hand to his chest, and fell to the ground. Afterward, he no longer reacted.

-Did he eat or drink something?

- Come on doctor, let's talk outside, there are many people here and they are hysterical.

Máxima went out to the street where the people dressed in mourning continued to arrive.

They got into a car and the man began to tell him what had happened.

Doctor, we came from a very long trip through Central America, we trusted some people who wanted to enter the United States through Guatemala, we left them and we came. We went to the new girls' club, we started drinking, we hit some marijuana whistles, we snorted the white, you know cocaine, then sex with the girls and fresh the colors. In the morning we went to our houses and see, in the park the man falls.

The doctor returned to the house to examine the dead man.

-This alive doctor !. She is alive! .- The assistants repeated it almost in chorus.

"You have to revive him or he won't get out of here," he told the wife of the deceased angrily.

-Madam, many times the dead seem alive, but I have taken the pressure, come, look at the pupils ...... See that they do not react to light, which means that he is dead.

"It's not true!" The woman screamed angrily, they can't bury a man alive.

The crowd prevented the doctor from leaving. The place began to be contaminated by hysteria, other women repeated that the corpse that was in the coffin breathed.

-You don't leave a doctor until you revive him.

-I will do my best, but I need to go to the dispensary, we have to buy medicines at the pharmacy to reactivate the heart. She took the spleen of the friend of the deceased who had accompanied him to Central America and together they made their way among the assistants who took turns looking and checking that the dead man was breathing.

Once on the street, they went to the pharmacy.

- I'm going to ask if they have adrenaline, wait for me here and I'll tell you when it's worth it.

The doctor entered the pharmacy.

-Sir, do a favor, does the house have another door to escape from that man who harasses me?

- Yes, doctor, come this way.

The doctor left through the back door of the pharmacy to another street, she discreetly went on a tricycle to the police station to ask for protection.

-The man entered the pharmacy - Where is the doctor?

- She already left, she did not find adrenaline. He said he was going to pick her up at the dispensary.

The police station was closed, she crossed the road and managed to board a bus that took her to Santa Rosa, without anyone noticing her.

In Santa Rosa, she went to the police command, who sent a patrol car to Santo Tomás to investigate what was happening.

Meanwhile, Máxima arrived at a cafeteria in the central park, while she had a coffee, she thought about how dangerous that moment was when she was caught in mass hysteria.

That same night, she took money from the ATM and set sail for her home in Quito.

When she arrived at her house in the capital, she hugged her daughter and her parents tightly.

-It was a terrible moment. Everyone screaming that he is alive and that I have to revive him. She was surrounded by dozens of people out of her mind-she told her parents worried.
