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. The thieves were selling it on the road and with my son we managed to take it away - Don Marcelo told him.

-Who is the thief?

- There were two of them, one lives a few blocks from here, he is the lover of the transvestite owner of the Santo Tomas women's hair salon, the other lives on the main street, sells ceviches on the beach.

Máxima went to look for the police to make the arrest with the evidence and the testimony of the witnesses who bought the thieves.

Like when a tablet from the office was stolen in Santo Tomás, the police show was the same, giving her a ride in the patrol car with other police officers, to whom she had to give them lunch, and then .... the wait her.

"What a pity, doctor, the individual is hiding in his house and we can't do anything, an order from the prosecutor is needed," the policeman told her.

They went to look for the prosecutor to get the warrant. She waited for two hours for her to clear out.

- Prosecutor Mr., we found part of what was stolen and I have witnesses of those who were selling. You can give me an order to arrest them, that's what the police are asking me to do.

. I'm so sorry, now I have to go in for an inspection come another day.

In the days that followed, the prosecutor eluded her. So he went to his apartment, took down the beds, packed his bags, rented a truck and brought everything he had in it, so as not to live in San Medardo again, which finally turned out to be a den of thieves, so tourism in that place disappeared, despite the thousands of luxury houses and apartments, the beautiful golf course, the beach with palm trees, the swimming pools with ocean views.

In Quito, he returned to the foundation that he had in the center with his father, which he abandoned during the years he worked on the Coast, it had no movement, it was in the tourist neighborhood, but the earthquake had destroyed the part of the house that he shared with his uncles and it was inherited from his grandfather, where he worked.

While going to the ministries and the courts to claim for his illegal dismissal, he used the unemployment insurance to restore the house and revive the foundation, with the help of money that his sister sent him from Australia and set up a practice, where he started to serve Venezuelans for free, since a large migration of Venezuelans invaded Ecuador.

In the month of May, two months after his dismissal, the one who was the vice president, a person with physical disabilities, rose to the presidency, who at the time of taking office, said that the outgoing president had been the best president in history. and one of the best in the world.

A few months later, I couldn't believe it, the new president betrayed the previous one, called him sinister, even a thief, arrested the one who had won the vice presidency with him, then handed over the Tortugas Islands and a base in La Cobija , so that North American military bases operate from there, he also handed over a political refugee that the United States claimed and that his predecessor protected in the Ecuadorian embassy in London, called for a popular consultation to appropriate all the powers of the state, supported by the private communication media and the North American Embassy, ​​took the country out of the Union of Southern Nations, gave away its headquarters to the indigenous people, began a judicial persecution of the previous president and his close collaborators.

-It is useless for you to insist on your demands- his mother told him- those who are in power are people who are enemies of the president who hired you. Don't forget that among the enemies of the previous government there are drug lords, who give orders from prisons, they can kill you if you return to that coast of drug traffickers.

In the following days, his lawyer continued with the trial against his father's aggressors and managed to recover the house of a dead Colombian drug lord, which those narco-shrimp owners snatched from him. After which the lawyer withdrew from continuing with the lawsuit to stop them.

In her house she felt happy, realizing that her daughter, her and her father, were miraculously saved
