-Wake up, wake up," I hear a voice, while I dream that I am with Yací.

-Wake up, quick! -I feel a blow, I wake up for a moment and I see beard, who shakes me, but I stay again in my dream with my beloved.

-Galan, wake up at once, we have been robbed! -this last word from barbas, makes me regain consciousness, my head hurts trying to remember, but that ruined city feeds me back, and the fact that we both have our pockets upside down, I just answer him: -they robbed us and also drugged us, now if we have just screwed ourselves, who knows if in this visionary paradise the necessary technology exists or they consider that progress is bad.

-It doesn't matter, it's time to adapt, let's get dirty, we have to look like locals, it's time to be careful if we have to make signs or a special greeting so as not to be out of place, let's go. -Wait drones, you can't leave. -A fat man shouts at us, unsheathing a rusty sword. -You belong to me, the czar gave you to me in exchange for some blankets, you have to pay me to let you go. -Sir, we are not the property of that gentleman, I regret to inform you that he stole them. -Barbas commented and I added:

-besides, a human being is not worth a blanket. -The fat man replies:

-that confirms what the Czarco said, you are not from these parts, here life is not worth anything, people are sold for less than a blanket, before I was generous with that idiot because they look strong, feel at ease, I will place you only to work in the warehouse. -We don't accept it, sir, we are leaving, don't worry, we'll bring you that fool with his blankets, that whippersnapper will have to give us back what he stole from us, if you know where we can get it, we'll be very grateful. -Beard stood in front of him as if he were offering him his chest to be sliced.

-I already told you that you are not leaving here, at least not alive, that would be a good idea, maybe I could sell you for meat, that way I would get back what my blankets are worth. -The fat man threw a sword at him. The beard, dodging it, slipped, grabbing him by the chin, disrobing him. This being was left there dry.

El Barba, checked that the fat man was no longer breathing and told me: -you see how useful my implants are, you should also improve yourself, it doesn't matter if it is not for implants, you can do exercise or self-defense courses, even dance or something to keep you in shape, let's dig this pigsty, maybe our things are here, I can't consider that they stole us so foolishly, it is hurting me to join you.

-Wait beard, it's possible that they might be around here Lie, with Dr. Yací.

-You should put the doctor first, if she were here she would surely be upset for talking like that.

-Yeah sure, although what if they are in this world and we can fix Lie?

-touch one step at a time, first we must survive and replace out the basics of this world, lest we result in other traps, we may wake up without organs, we have to tread carefully and apparently look for the one who robbed us because here it is seen that there is nothing that is useful to us except these bills and these jewels.

-Again the great conqueror is stealing.

-I'm not going to be able to survive, you'd better look for something that is useful to us,

-All this is garbage that's not even good for recycling, we'd better go for a walk.

We walk through the streets seeing people walking around with anguished faces, skinny and with worn out clothes, we see the Czarco playing dice, we grab him stealthily and Barbas breaks his hand so he can see that we are serious.

-You stay out of this. -He cries to his companions who go to the other sidewalk to continue playing, I hear one of them mention:

-The Czarco's bet is divided for us. -We are brave partners, of course from a coward who is trying to turn us over again:

-you are wrong, I didn't want to sell you. -Beard dislocates his shoulder while asking him:

-Who said you sold us out, we just need our stuff and I promise we will leave you alone.

Between whimpers he answers:

-it's that I already sold it, I can't give it back to you.

-To whom? -people walk normally, even some policemen pass by, but only to pick up some money given by some sellers of something that they exhibit on a sidewalk, I can't detail what it is, finally the boy agrees when he feels that my partner is going to break his other hand. -Please wait, I sold it to a scrap dealer.

-Please guide us to that junkyard. -I demanded beard, hitting him, he finished by throwing the hair I pulled out of his face. We walk through the sector, only old buses that are pulled by horses pass by, it must be that the oil is over in this dimension. We arrive at the place, there is a guy with a bad face at the entrance who warns us:

-The boss was waiting for you, go on.

-Stop, you must be confusing us and to be honest we are not friends of this crap either. -I clarify that they may be confusing us with some sentenced or debtors, to which this gentleman answers us:

-I don't confuse them, the boss had already sent some guys to look for them, the one I'm not interested in is the Czarco's filth, if he wants he can leave.

-I don't think so, he's our property now, we won't let him go. -Beard clarifies things to the czarco, who was already thinking of running away, we continue inside, crossing mountains of junk until we get to a room full of cans that smell strange.

-It's acid, they use it to dissolve the bodies of their victims. -A shiver shakes my body, a fat guy comes out grumbling:

-"So you two lousy lice were the ones who killed my little brother? -It seems that armed guys come out from all sides.

-Can you handle them? -I asked Barbas in fear.

-Of course not, not even if I were a superhero.

-In that case, let me try to fix it, I'll try, Mr. junkyard man, we didn't know that this man was your brother, in that case it would be the fault of the czar who sold us without being his property. He interrupted me:

-I sold them legally, I gave them food, they received it, they were very idiotic if they thought it was free and your brother was very generous, he paid me with two blankets, with one he would have confirmed me. -Beard breaks his neck saying:

-How annoying is this being such a liar, excuse me Mr. scrap dealer, we beg you not to kill us, I assure you that we will be useful, we are scientists, surely we can create a furnace with which you can melt this scrap into ingots.

-That would be good, although my business is not scrap metal," answered the fat man, "that is just a façade, what makes me money is that I buy stolen goods to sell or exchange them for other things, I sell narcotics and I also disappear bodies, I am like a magician, my brother did it too. Even though we were family and we were in dispute over this territory.

-In that case we did you a favor, let us have the honor of working for you, we can also manufacture amphetamines for you. -I mention it to fill his cup of greed.

-It sounds tempting, although it wouldn't be good for my reputation to have two strangers dispatch my brother and turn out to be working for me. -The fat man muses, grabbing a baseball bat.

-Wait good sir, if you kill us you won't know where the hidden treasure is. -shouts the bearded man.

We all turn to look at him, and he adds: "Yes sir, in the things that this sack of bones stole from us there is a treasure map, please bring me the things and I will show you. -I am surprised to see some panties, I remember I saw them on the apothecary's daughter, she takes some things, puts them together, and speaks to them:

-Sir, something is missing, let me look for it. -He moves around the place like a dog, until he replaces some parts, something fits.

He whispers to me: "Hey, handsome man, help me. -I pretend to help him. Trying to figure out what he is putting together, we square that artifact according to what he guides me and the pieces we bring, he looks for a plug, and the fat man informs us: -there is almost never light here, they have to connect it to the power plant. -One of his assistants pulls out that contraption that sounds like a motorcycle with a broken exhaust pipe, he starts it up like a boat engine, starting it by pulling a cable. Suddenly I see it, it looks like the portal I made, but it doesn't work, in my mind I check it, realizing that it is badly configured, I quickly disassemble it without caring that it is on.

Before everyone's eyes, we created a large portal of light, they were amazed to see this apparition, so much so that we could enter without having to run and we said goodbye smiling at them.
