"Mwayenda nthawi yayitali bwanji?" anatero Marcos.

Ndinayima kaye osadziwa kuti ndiyankha bwanji. "Ndinasiya kuwerengera masiku."

Anagwedeza mutu. “Ine ndi abale anga, tinafika kuno kuchokera ku Ecuador. Tadikira kwa zaka zitatu kuti tsikuli lifike.”

Marcos anayang'ana msinkhu wanga. Pansi pa nyali yotungira yobiriwira ya galimotoyo, ndinatha kuona zipsera pamphumi, mphuno, ndi chibwano. Anavala zipsera za msilikali, za munthu amene amamenyera mphindi iliyonse ya moyo yomwe anali pafupi kuika pangozi. Azichimwene ake, Roberto, Andrés, ndi Juan, sanawoneke kupitirira khumi ndi zisanu ndi chimodzi, mwina zaka khumi ndi zisanu ndi ziwiri zakubadwa. Anavala zipsera zawo. Iwo ankapewa kuonana ndi maso.

“Ngati mulibe nazo ntchito kuti ndikufunseni, chinachitika ndi chiyani nthawi yomaliza yomwe munayesera kuwoloka? Marco anafunsa. “Mwati aka sikanali nthawi yanu yoyamba.”

“Titafika kukhoma, mlonda, yemwe tidalipira, sanawonekere. Tidadikirira, koma ma drones adatipeza. Iwo anaunikira nyali zawo pa ife. Tinathawa, koma amuna ena ochepa anayesa kuthamangira kutsogolo, kukwera khoma.”

"Kodi iwo anakwanitsa?"

Ndinapukusa mutu. Ndinali kumvabe kulira kwa mfuti. Zinanditengera pafupifupi masiku aŵiri kuti ndibwerere m’tauni ndikuyenda wapansi, ndipo pafupifupi mwezi wathunthu kuti ndichiritsidwe kupsa kwanga ndi dzuwa. Anthu ambiri amene anabwerera nane analephera kupirira nyengo yonse yachilimwe.

“Kodi ukuganiza kuti zikhala zosiyana nthawi ino? Mukuganiza kuti tidzatha?

Ndinali kutali ndi kulankhula kofunikira kwambiri pamoyo wanga ndipo ndinalibe chidziwitso choti ndinene.

"Bambo. Bwanamkubwa, gulu lathu likugwira ntchito mwachangu momwe tingathere," adatero Josh. "Ziwerengero zikangobwera, zolankhula zidzatha posachedwa. Pakadali pano, Shirley ndi gulu lake akukonzekera scrum ya mtolankhani. Ndipo gulu lachitetezo lili tcheru.” Nthawi zonse zimamveka ngati akufuna kundigulitsa pa china chake, komabe mwanjira ina, wofufuza uyu sakanakhoza kundipeza molondola, mpaka ola, zotsatira za mavoti a anthu. Ndinadzifunsa ngati alipo amene angandizindikire ngati nditam’tulutsa pa limoyo.

“Osadandaula wokondedwa. Selena adandifinya dzanja langa. “Muchita bwino kwambiri.”

Dzanja lake lomwe linali thukuta kwambiri silinandithandize kukhala ndi chidaliro chochuluka. Sindinafune kumubweretsa, koma silinali khosi langa chabe pamzere. M’nthaŵi ya ola limodzi, tsogolo la banja lathu likadalitsidwa pa mmene anthu ndi mawailesi ofalitsa nkhani anachitira ndi zolankhula zanga.

"Oscar, tamvera, tikudziwa zomwe ziwerengerozi zikunena," adatero Jessica, mlangizi wanga pagulu. "Uyenera kuluma chipolopolo."

Jessica sanali munthu woti azingocheza naye. Ndipo iye anali kulondola. Mwina ndidakhala kumbali ya dziko langa ndikutaya udindo wanga, tsogolo langa, kapena ndidakhala kumbali ya anthu anga ndikupita kundende ya Federal. Ndikayang'ana kunja, ndimatha kupereka chilichonse kuti ndigulitse malo ndi munthu woyendetsa mbali ina ya msewu wa I-80.

"Oscar, izi ndizovuta."

“Iwe Jessica ukuganiza kuti sindikudziwa zimenezo! Uwu ndi moyo wanga… mathero ake. ”…

"Ayi, wokondedwa, osanena choncho," adatero Selena. “Lero mupanga kusintha.”

"Oscar, walondola." Jessica anakhala kutsogolo, atatsamira zigongono zake m'mawondo ake, maso ake akubowolera mu anga. "Ife-Muli ndi mwayi wokhudza ndale za US ndi izi. California ndi dziko la ku Puerto Rico tsopano, muli oposa 67 peresenti ya anthu, ndipo kuyambira pomwe kanema wa Nuñez Five adatsikira pa intaneti Lachiwiri lapitalo, chithandizo chothetsa mfundo zathu zatsankho sichinayambe chakwerapo. Ngati mungaimirire pa izi, tsogolerani, gwiritsani ntchito izi ngati chowongolera kuyitanitsa kuchotsedwa kwa chiletso cha othawa kwawo, ndiye kuti mudzaika Shenfield pansi pa mulu wa mavoti kamodzi kokha.

"Ndikudziwa, Jessica. Ndikudziwa." Izi ndi zomwe ndimayenera kuchita, zomwe aliyense amayembekezera kuti ndichite. Bwanamkubwa woyamba waku California waku Puerto Rico pazaka zopitilira 150 komanso aliyense m'maboma azungu amayembekezera kuti ndidzakhala kumbali ya 'gringos.' Ndipo ine ndiyenera. Koma ndimakondanso dziko langa.

Chilala chachikulu chakhalapo kwa zaka zoposa khumi, chikumakulabe chaka chilichonse. Ndinkaona kunja kwa zenera langa chifukwa nkhalango zathu zinali zitasanduka manda a mitengo yopserera. Mitsinje imene inkadyetsa zigwa zathu inali itaphwa kalekale. Makampani a zaulimi m’boma anagwa mathirakitala adzimbiri ndipo anasiya minda ya mpesa. Takhala odalira madzi ochokera ku Canada komanso chakudya chochokera ku Midwest. Ndipo kuyambira pomwe makampani aukadaulo adasamukira kumpoto, makampani athu oyendera dzuwa ndi ma laborha otsika mtengo adatipangitsa kuyenda.

Maola anadutsa amene ndinamva ngati masiku pamene galimoto yathu inali kuyenda mumdima, kuwoloka chipululu cha Sonoran, kuthamangira ku ufulu umene unali kutiyembekezera pa kuwoloka kwa California. Ndi mwayi, anzanga atsopano ndi ine tiwona kutuluka kwa dzuwa mkati mwa America mu maola ochepa chabe.

Mmodzi mwa madalaivalawo anatsegula chitseko chogawanitsa chipinda cha galimotoyo n’kudusa mutu wake. “Tikuyandikira potsikira. Kumbukirani malangizo athu ndipo muyenera kudutsa malire mkati mwa mphindi zisanu ndi zitatu. Khalani okonzeka kuthamanga. Mukangochoka pagalimoto iyi, simudzakhala ndi nthawi yochuluka ma drones asanakuwoneni. Mukumvetsa?”

Tonse tinagwedeza mitu yathu, mawu ake osadukizadukiza akulowa mkati. Dalaivala anatseka chitseko. Galimotoyo inatembenuka mwadzidzidzi. Ndipamene adrenalin idalowa.

"Ukhoza kuchita izi, Marcos." Ndinamuona akupuma movutikira. “Iwe ndi abale ako. Ndidzakhala pafupi nawe njira yonse.”

“Zikomo, José. Kodi mungandifunse kanthu?”

Ndidagwedeza.

"Mukusiya ndani?"

"Palibe aliyense." Ndinapukusa mutu. "Palibe amene watsala."

Ndinauzidwa kuti anabwera kumudzi kwathu ndi amuna oposa zana limodzi. Anatenga chilichonse chomwe chinali choyenera, makamaka ana aakazi. Wina aliyense anakakamizika kugwada pamzere wautali, pamene onyamula mfuti anaika chipolopolo m’chigaza chilichonse. Sanafune mboni iliyonse. Ndikanabwerera kumudzi ola limodzi kapena aŵiri m’mbuyomo, ndikanakhala m’gulu la akufa. Mwamwayi, ndinaganiza zopita kokamwa mowa m'malo mokhala kunyumba kuti nditeteze banja langa, alongo anga.

“Ndikutumizirani mameseji anyamata tikakonzeka kuyamba,” anatero Josh, akutuluka m’galimotoyo.

Ndinayang'ana pamene iye ankadutsa atolankhani ochepa ndi alonda omwe anali kunja, asanathamangire kutsogolo kwa udzu kupita ku nyumba ya California State Capitol. Gulu langa linali litandiikira podium pamwamba pa masitepe adzuwa. Panalibe chochita koma kudikirira zomwe ndikufuna.

Panthawiyi, magalimoto onyamula nkhani anayimitsidwa kudutsa L Street, ndi ena m'mphepete mwa 13th Street komwe tidadikirira. Simunafune ma binoculars kuti mudziwe kuti ichi chikhala chochitika. Unyinji wa atolankhani ndi makamera omwe akuzungulira pabwaloli adangochulukira ndi makamu awiri a ziwonetsero omwe adayimilira kuseri kwa tepi ya apolisi pa kapinga. Mazana anawonekera - mbali ya Hispanic ndi yaikulu kwambiri m'chiwerengero - ndi mizere iwiri ya apolisi achiwawa omwe amalekanitsa mbali zonse pamene ankafuula ndikuwonetsa zizindikiro zawo zotsutsa.

“Wokondedwa, suyenera kuyang’ana. Zimangowonjezera nkhawa, "adatero Selena.

“Akunena zoona, Oscar,” anatero Jessica. "Nanga bwanji tikambirane komaliza?"

“Ayi. Ndathana nazo. Ine ndikudziwa chimene ine nditi ndinene. Ndakonzeka."

Panadutsanso ola lina galimoto isanachedwe. Onse m’katimo anayang’ana uku ndi uku. Munthu amene anakhala chapatali mkati mwake anayamba kusanza pansi pamaso pake. Posakhalitsa, galimotoyo inayima. Inali nthawi.

Masekondi anayenda pang'onopang'ono pamene tikuyesera kumvetsera malamulo omwe madalaivala ankalandira pa wailesi yawo. Mwadzidzidzi, mawu osasunthika adasinthidwa kukhala chete. Tinamva madalaivala akutsegula zitseko zawo, kenako kuphulika kwa miyala pamene akuthamanga mozungulira galimotoyo. Anatsegula zitseko zakumbuyo za dzimbiri, ndikuzitsegula ndi dalaivala mmodzi mbali zonse.

“Aliyense atuluka tsopano!”

Mayi yemwe anali kutsogolo adapondedwa pomwe anthu khumi ndi anayi adatuluka m'galimoto yopapatiza. Panalibe nthawi yoti amuthandize. Miyoyo yathu inakhazikika pamasekondi. Pafupi nafe, anthu ena mazana anayi anathamanga kutuluka m’mavani ngati athu.

Njirayi inali yosavuta: tinkathamangira khoma mwachiwerengero kuti tithe kugonjetsa alonda a m'malire. Amphamvu kwambiri ndi othamanga kwambiri angapange. Aliyense akanagwidwa kapena kuwomberedwa.

“Bwerani! Nditsateni!" Ndinakalipira Marcos ndi azichimwene ake, pamene tinayamba kuthamanga kwathu. Khoma lalikulu la malire linali patsogolo pathu. Ndipo chibowo chachikulu chomwe chinawombedwa ndi icho chinali cholinga chathu.

Alonda a m’malire amene anali patsogolo pathu analiza alamu pamene gulu la mavani linayatsanso injini zawo ndi malaya awo ovala zovala ndi kutembenukira kum’mwera kwa chitetezo. M'mbuyomu, phokosolo linali lokwanira kuwopseza theka la anthu omwe adayesanso kuthamanga, koma osati usikuuno. Usikuuno gulu la anthu otizungulira linabangula kwambiri. Tonse tinalibe chilichonse choti titaye komanso tsogolo lonse loti tipindule podutsa, ndipo tinali kungothamanga kwa mphindi zitatu kuchokera ku moyo watsopanowo.

Ndi pamene anawonekera. Ma drones. Ambiri a iwo anayandama kuchokera kuseri kwa khoma, akulozetsa nyali zawo zowala pa khamu la anthu amene ankalipiritsa.

Kubwerera m'mbuyo kunadutsa m'maganizo mwanga pamene mapazi anga amayendetsa thupi langa kutsogolo. Zikanachitika monga kale: alonda a m’malire ankapereka machenjezo awo pa okamba nkhani, kuwomberedwa kwa machenjezo kudzawomberedwa, ma drones amawombera zipolopolo za taser motsutsana ndi othamanga amene anathamanga mowongoka kwambiri, kenako alonda ndi oponya mfuti amawombera pansi aliyense amene anawoloka. mzere wofiira, wa mamita khumi patsogolo pa khoma. Koma ulendo uno ndinali ndi pulani.

Anthu mazana anayi—amuna, akazi, ana—tonse tinathamanga ndi kusimidwa pamisana yathu. Ngati Marcos, ndi abale ake, ndi ine tikhala m'gulu la ochita mwayi makumi awiri kapena makumi atatu kuti tidutse amoyo, tidayenera kukhala anzeru. Ndinatitsogolera ku gulu la othamanga pakati-kumbuyo kwa paketi. Othamanga otizungulira amatiteteza ku moto wa drone taser kuchokera pamwamba. Panthawiyi, othamanga pafupi ndi kutsogolo angatiteteze ku moto wa drone sniper pakhoma.

Dongosolo loyambirira linali kuyendetsa pansi pa 15th Street, kumadzulo pa 0 Street, kenako kumpoto pa 11st Street, kotero ndimatha kupewa misala, kudutsa mu Capitol, ndikutuluka pazitseko zazikulu molunjika kwa omvera anga. Tsoka ilo, kuchulukana kwadzidzidzi kwa magalimoto atatu onyamula nkhani kunawononga njira imeneyo.

M'malo mwake, ndinachititsa apolisi kuperekeza gulu langa ndi ine kuchokera pa galimoto yamoto, kuwoloka kapinga, kudutsa m'khonde la apolisi achiwawa ndi khamu la anthu omveka kumbuyo kwawo, kuzungulira unyinji wa atolankhani, ndipo potsirizira pake kukwera masitepe pa nsanja. Ndikanama ndikanati sindine wamanjenje. Ndinkangomva kuti mtima wanga ukugunda. Nditamvetsera Jessica pa podium akupereka malangizo oyambirira ndi chidule cha mawu kwa atolankhani, mkazi wanga ndi ine tinapita patsogolo kuti titenge malo ake. Jessica anatinong'oneza 'zabwino' pamene tinali kudutsa. Selena adayimilira kumanja kwanga pomwe ndikusintha maikolofoni ya podium.

"Zikomo nonse chifukwa chobwera nane pano lero," ndidatero, ndikulemba zolemba papepala lomwe adandikonzera, ndikuyimilira mosamala momwe ndikanathera. Ndinayang'ana patsogolo panga. Atolankhani ndi makamera awo owuluka amanditsekera, akudikirira mwachidwi kuti ndiyambe. Pa nthawiyi, khamu la anthu lomwe linali pambuyo pawo linakhala chete.

"Masiku atatu apitawo, tonse tidawona vidiyo yowopsa yakupha kwa Nuñez Five."

Gulu la anthu ochirikiza malire, odana ndi othawa kwawo linaseka.

“Ndikuzindikira kuti ena a inu angakhumudwe ndi ine pogwiritsa ntchito mawu amenewo. Pali ambiri kumanja omwe akuwona kuti oyang'anira malirewo anali olondola pazomwe adachita, kuti adasiyidwa opanda njira ina kupatula kugwiritsa ntchito mphamvu zakupha kuteteza malire athu. "

Mbali ya ku Puerto Rico inakwiya.

Koma tiyeni tifotokoze momveka bwino mfundo zake. Inde, anthu angapo ochokera ku Mexico ndi South America adawoloka malire athu mosaloledwa. Koma analibe zida. Palibe nthawi yomwe adayika zoopsa kwa alonda a m'malire. Ndipo palibe nthawi yomwe anali chiwopsezo kwa anthu aku America.

“Tsiku lililonse khoma la m’malire athu limatchinga anthu othawa kwawo ku Mexico, Central, ndi South America kuti asalowe ku US. Mwa ziwerengerozi, ma drones amalire athu amapha osachepera mazana awiri patsiku. Awa ndi anthu omwe tikukamba. Ndipo kwa ambiri omwe ali pano lero, awa ndi anthu omwe akanakhala achibale anu. Awa ndi anthu omwe akadakhala ife.

“Ndivomereza kuti monga wa ku Latino-America, ndili ndi maganizo apadera pa nkhaniyi. Monga tonse tikudziwira, California tsopano ndi dziko la Puerto Rico. Koma ambiri mwa omwe apanga Chispanya sanabadwire ku US. Monga Achimereka ambiri, makolo athu anabadwira kwina ndipo anasamukira ku dziko lalikululi kuti akapeze moyo wabwino, kukhala Amereka, ndi kuthandizira ku American Dream.

“Amuna, akazi, ndi ana amene akudikirira kuseri kwa khoma lamalire akufuna mwayi womwewo. Iwo si othawa kwawo. Sali olowa m'dziko losaloledwa. Ndi anthu aku America amtsogolo. "

Anthu a ku Spain anasangalala kwambiri. Ndili mkati modikira kuti atonthole, ndinaona ambiri avala t-shirt zakuda zolembedwa gawo.

Anali kunena kuti, 'Sindigwada.'

Khoma linali kumbuyo kwathu tsopano, koma tinapitirizabe kuthamanga ngati kutithamangitsa. Ndinasunga mkono wanga pansi pa phewa lakumanja la Marcos ndi kumbuyo kwake, pamene ndinkamuthandiza kuyendera limodzi ndi azichimwene ake. Anataya magazi ambiri chifukwa cha chipolopolo paphewa lake lakumanzere. Mwamwayi, sanadandaule. Ndipo sanafunse kuti asiye. Tinadutsa amoyo, tsopano inadza ntchito yokhala ndi moyo.

Gulu lina lokhalo lomwe lidakwanitsa nafe linali gulu la anthu a ku Nicaragua, koma tinasiyana nawo titachotsa mapiri a El Centinela. Ndipamene tinawona ma drones ochepa a m'malire akuyenda kuchokera kumwera. Ndidamva kuti ayang'ana gulu lalikulu poyamba, asanu ndi awiri motsutsana ndi asanu athu. Tidamva kukuwa kwawo pomwe ma drones amawavumbitsira zipolopolo zawo.

Ndipo komabe tinalimbikira. Ndondomekoyi inali yodutsa m'chipululu cha miyala kuti akafike kumafamu ozungulira El Centro. Tinkadumpha mipanda, kudzaza mimba yathu yanjala ndi mbewu zilizonse zomwe tikanapeza, kenaka n’kulowera kumpoto chakum’maŵa kulowera ku Heber kapena El Centro kumene tikanayesa kupeza chithandizo ndi chithandizo chamankhwala kwa a mtundu wathu. Kunali kuwombera kwautali; imodzi yomwe ndimaopa kuti sitingagawane tonse.

“José,” ananong’oneza Marcos. Anandiyang'ana pansi pa nkhope yake yotukuta. “Uyenera kundilonjeza chinachake.”

"Ukwanitsa izi, Marcos. Muyenera kukhala ndi ife basi. Inu mukuona kuwala uko? Pansanja za foni, pafupi ndi kumene dzuŵa likutuluka? Sitiri patali tsopano. Tipeza thandizo. "

“Ayi, José. Ndikumva. inenso—”

Marcos anapunthwa pamwala n’kugwera pansi. Abalewo anamva ndipo anabwerera akuthamanga. Tinayesa kumudzutsa, koma anali atakomoka. Anafunika thandizo. Anafunikira magazi. Tonse tinagwirizana kuti tizimunyamula awiriawiri, wina atamugwira miyendo ndi wina kumugwira pansi pa maenje ake. Andres ndi Juan anadzipereka poyamba. Ngakhale kuti iwo anali aang’ono kwambiri, anapeza mphamvu zonyamula mchimwene wawo wamkulu pa liwiro lothamanga. Tinkadziwa kuti panalibe nthawi yambiri.

Patadutsa ola limodzi ndipo tinatha kuona bwino lomwe minda yathu. M'bandakucha anajambula pachimake pamwamba pawo ndi zigawo zotumbululuka lalanje, zachikasu ndi zofiirira. Mphindi makumi awiri okha. Panthawiyo ine ndi Roberto tinali titanyamula Marcos. Iye ankangokangamirabe, koma mpweya wake unali utachepa. Tinayenera kumufikitsa pamthunzi dzuŵa lisanakwere mokwanira kuti lisandutse chipululu kukhala ng’anjo.

Ndi pamene tinawawona. Magalimoto aŵiri achizungu anayenda ulendo wathu ndi ndege yaing'ono yomwe inkawatsatira pamwamba pawo. Kuthamanga kunalibe ntchito. Tinazingidwa ndi chipululu cha makilomita ambiri. Tinaganiza zosunga mphamvu zochepa zomwe tinali nazo ndikudikirira chilichonse. Choyipa kwambiri, tidaganiza kuti Marcos apeza chisamaliro chomwe amafunikira.

Magalimotowo anaima kutsogolo kwathu, pamene ndege yoyendetsa ndegeyo inazungulira kumbuyo kwathu. “Manja kumbuyo kwa mutu wako! Tsopano!” Adalamula mau kudzera muma speaker a drone.

Ndinkadziwa Chingelezi chokwanira kuti ndimasulire abale. Ndinaika manja anga kumbuyo kwa mutu wanga n’kunena kuti, “Tilibe mfuti. Mnzathu. Chonde, akufunika thandizo lanu. "

Zitseko za magalimoto onse awiri zinatseguka. Amuna asanu akuluakulu, okhala ndi zida zankhondo akutuluka. Iwo sankawoneka ngati alonda a m’malire. Anayenda pafupi nafe atakokedwa zida. "Bwezerani!" Adalamula wowomberayo, pomwe m'modzi mwa anzake adayenda kupita kwa Marcos. Ine ndi abale tinawapatsa mpata, pamene mwamunayo anagwada pansi ndi kukanikiza zala zake m’mbali mwa khosi la Marcos.

“Wataya magazi ambiri. Ali ndi nsonga zina za mphindi makumi atatu, palibe nthawi yokwanira yoti apite naye kuchipatala.

“Bwanji basi,” anatero wowombera mfutiyo. "Sitilipidwa chifukwa cha anthu aku Mexico omwe anamwalira."

"Mukuganiza bwanji?"

“Anawomberedwa kamodzi. Akamupeza, palibe amene angafunse mafunso ngati atawomberedwa kawiri.”

Maso anga anatuluka. “Dikirani, mukuti chiyani? Mukhoza kuthandiza. Mutha-"

Munthu amene anali pambali pa Marcos anaimirira n’kumuwombera pachifuwa. Abalewo anakuwa n’kuthamangira kwa m’bale wawoyo, koma onyamula mfutiwo analozera kutsogolo mfuti zawo zili m’mutu mwathu.

“Nonse inu! Manja kumbuyo kwa mitu yanu! Gwirani pansi! Tikupita nanu kundende yotsekeredwa.

Abalewo analira ndipo anachitadi zimene anawauza. Ndinakana.

“Hey! Iwe waku Mexico, sunandimve? Ndakuuzani kuti mugwade!”

Ndinayang'ana kwa mchimwene wake wa Marcos, kenako kwa bambo uja akuloza mfuti yake kumutu kwanga. “Ayi. sindigwada.
