26. The neighborhood of the narcos

Máxima had to make an informative map of Tonchigue and for this, she went to visit the neighborhood that is on the other side of the river.


Like the rest of the town, it only had gravel streets, but there were more cane and zinc houses.


The center of the neighborhood was a soccer field, and around it was a school, a chapel. houses and a billiard hall.


The day was hot, the sun bright and unrelenting, so she entered the billiard-room, which was at the same time a tent.


She was received by a dark-skinned, obese, and bad-faced man,


-How can I help you miss ?.


- I am the new doctor at the Peasant Social Security dispensary.


-Ha .. if I already recognize you, doctor, when I saw the opening of the dispensary- her hostile face changed immediately as did her voice -How can I help you? she asked him very kindly.


-Please can she sell me a tail,


- I only have Coca-Cola.


- It's okay.


The man served him and the conversation began- I'm Pablo Gracia.


- Nice to meet you, I'm Dr. Máxima Umiña.


-What brings you here, doctor? Doctors almost never come, only the assistants or nurses from the Ministry of Health sub-center come when they come to vaccinate the dogs and children.


- I have to make an informational map. Do you live here or do you just have your business? she asked while she looked at that place that had some pool tables, the place smelled of tobacco smoke and alcohol.


At that moment, two people, also mulattoes, full of tattoos, got off a motorcycle and entered making a great fuss.


-What was Don Pablo, put on one of whisky Johny Walker, if she is a blue sash, better! How is he? - Asked the newcomers who had a Colombian accent.


- I only have a red sash for 12 years.


"It doesn't matter, it's fine and the price doesn't matter," said the two men who had their guns hidden in the back of their waists under their colorful shirts.


- Who are they? - Asked the doctor in a low voice, after Don Pablo served them the bottle with glasses and ice.


- They are drop by drop, Colombian moneylenders who lend money to fishermen and everyone around here, then they collect it every day, or every week.


- They look Colombian.


- Yes, they are from Tumaco. They are black or mulatto from there. There are many around here. Atacames has hundreds of Colombians who have all kinds of businesses, especially the sale of clothing. These have a lottery game at the Triangle stop.


- Didn't the police arrest them for having weapons? I know that it is illegal and that the penalty is several years in prison.


- The first to borrow money from drop by drop is the police.


The men began to play billiards, they were euphoric while playing, they seemed drugged and at one point, while they were drinking the whiskey, they placed a 100 dollar bill on the table where the bottle was and with another, they began to snort the cocaine, which They put on stripes, before rubbing their noses.


- How can they do that without any modesty? -asked the doctor in you very low and turning her back to them, as the men looked at her with lust on the surface.


"The police don't come here and I'm the one in charge of this neighborhood," answered Don Pablo, "I've lived here for 30 years and I never leave this place."


-Why?


- Because thirty years ago I escaped from the Esmeraldas prison, which is called Santas Vainas. I was arrested. The thing is that I killed the most famous gallero around here, he was the partner of some drug traffickers from Los Angeles, who were the kings of drug trafficking. His last name was precisely Reyes, and that was his worst hitman. I also liked roosters, which has been my vice, here on the patio I have some. Come meet them.


The two of them made their way to the back of the pool hall, where there were a dozen fighting cocks in their cages.


-The issue was that the man had brought some roosters from Japan or the Philippines, I faced him with mine and he bet against all the people in the cockpit. When we were in the fight, things were even, the man stopped the fight and asked the people to double the bet, he put a lot of sucres from that time, because there were no dollars, on the betting table.


People went to look for money in their houses, they doubled the bet. I was there with my daughter, she asked me why I didn't also double my bet, I didn't have any more money, well, she told me to bet on my daughter, who was 15 years old and was very pretty, she took care of the roosters. I was stung and I did it,


My rooster was injured by his black rooster, mine was sorrel, but I did not touch the ground with my beak, it did not stop, I took my rooster. At that time, there was a doctor who worked in the park, he was with his wife, they liked the stuffings that were sold in the gallera


-If they were my father and my mother- said the doctor that she did not blink listening to that story, which was the same one that her parents told her.


"That doctor was his father?" He said surprised.

Máxima was convinced that such severe diarrhea, which even took away her voice for many days, would have killed her if a healer friend, Don Marcelo, did not come and help her. She returned with her daughter to Quito, where her parents helped her recover, but when she returned, her house had been robbed. The thieves, who were neighbors, broke the iron bars of the windows, were looking for his plasma television, and his computer, which by chance had brought them to Quito, but they stole the medical equipment he had bought, the microwave, speakers, and more. When she arrived in Santa Rosa to file the complaint, she met the same prosecutor, of dubious reputation, who was handling the case of her assault on her father, who sent her to the judicial police with the complaint. She once again relived the drama of having to pay the police for the taxi, the food, and up to 20 additional dollars to pay attention to the matter and not let it go to theft. -Doctor, here is her speaker that was stolen...

 Máxima's dismissal was not just an administrative act, it was a show to show that no mountaineer can feel superior, or create problems in La Esperanza, the racist province where blacks and mulattoes believe they are owners and lords of the administration and positions. public. It was the only province where the prefect was black and she had been prefect for decades and in the next elections she would be a candidate for mayor. In addition, the one that divided the affiliates, creating an organization that was not controlled by the Marxist, Leninist, Stalinist, Maoist party, was an unforgivable sin, since this movement of left opportunists had control of all public employees in the province. , from teachers, doctors, nurses, auxiliaries, to workers at the refinery, local governments, the oil port, the commercial port and the fishing port. But for Máxima, that moment in which she was fired, in a meeting in which doctors, dentists and auxiliaries from the Red Campesina de Salud were p...

  While her father was recovering from surgery, Máxima was invited to a coffee shop by her aunt. Upon arriving at that cafeteria in La Mariscal de Quito, her aunt, her father's sister, showed her a huge smile of happiness, which made her think that her father's brothers were very fond of her. "It's good that you came!" She told him very effusively. - Hi Aunt. Yes, here I am. The two entered the cafeteria. After informing the aunt about her father's health and what happened, the aunt changed her tone. -Well, what I wanted you to ask your father is about the apartments, which is what we need to distribute. -Well, from what I know, those departments you mention are now his, after a mediation agreement with the other partners who built the building. -How? -At that moment she looked for her with her cell phone in the Property Registry and indeed it was. - Tell your father that what he has done is wrong, that I am part of the Allied Movement of the Country, the dire...
