gloomy day
Jeanne had understood that she would be a big sister soon and was excited about this even if her parents had taken her for a baby.“I hope you don’t mind not being our only baby anymore”She rolled her eyes. Why would she be jealous of her little sister or her little brother? She was rather ecstatic by the news and couldn't wait to play with the child.The announcement of a future child had arrived with that on all the television channels of the resurgence of crime in their neighborhood with the birth of many gangs.Territory wars were legion and were now part of the daily life of the inhabitants of the district who, when the shots broke out, would take refuge in their houses hoping that the stray bullets would not reach them.In this chaotic environment, being a policeman had become a real challenge, but James was not worried about it.

abandonment
Jeanne had not cried when her mother said those words to her.

But where? For all time?She seemed in her world as her mother asked her to be strong.Strong? For what?She didn't understand everything, but she had read enough pregnancy books to know that what her mother was doing there was not good for the baby.Then mechanically, her face still frozen, she left her mother's embrace and stood up, surprising the three adults in front of her.

So the 16-year-old girl who gave birth ran away? And the baby? »“I heard the social service say that we would put him up for adoption”“Poor thing… I heard that some children are not directly adopted despite the demand for newborns being rather high”"It's true I have a neighbor who works in an orphanage and told me that many babies stay at home for the first five years of their life, then because of the lack of subsidy, the majority left behind flee and end up on the street and even though they are adopted the parents do not keep them long before returning them… the behavior of these children despite the education they want to transmit to them leaves something to be desired. »"Yes, some people have a dull anger in them that nobody supports them for long... so they go from foster home to foster home un

Nancy
The little girl didn't know where she was going, every time her sister cried she did her best to calm her down.

El Pazo
After this night, which she would describe as providential, Jeanne discovered that the camp in which she had ended up stopping was that of immigrants who had fled wars in their country.The state and the city of Central had allocated this land to them so that people from their country could come and live there until the situation at home calmed down and they could return.Of course, it didn't always go as well as they wanted because the native inhabitants often showed xenophobia against them. The small community of ''El Pazo'' is an area that was often subject to attacks from young people of the city who liked to come and intimidate the inhabitants of this small community.The many gangs that had developed here came to impose taxes on them that they had to pay if some wanted to continue to carry out their businesses and activities.The police and the authorities who said they were much too overwhelmed could do nothing for them so they ended up marginalized and exploited by the natives;

The temperature she felt at her touch was already such that she was suffocating so she can't even imagine what her little Emma must be feeling. But in her way of moaning, she must be in a lot of pain and it makes her want to cry.She kissed her forehead trying to sing her lullabies but her sister continued to writhe in pain, her flushed skin making her image even more ominous.Renzo made her drink the medicine which she imagined to be bitter given the way Emma twisted her face.

However, the doctor continued to follow her, Jeanne asking him questions as time passed.One thing that caught her attention was the difficulty Emma now had in expressing herself normally. It was as if her tongue was far too heavy for her mouth and made articulating words difficult. Her voice was deep and the words felt heavy to listen to. It was not normal.“That's what I said a month ago… cases of bacterial meningitis cause sequelae which may differ depending on the individual… for others they will have mental confusion, these are the cases where this does not happen.
