He says he will take them himself, secretly. Is he what he says he is? Or is he part of the problem?
All seems well until Rea disappears.

The young man came running through the soukh, dodging between the stalls, with two policemen in hot pursuit. His right hand was groping in his shirt for his gun; which was why I grabbed my friend Rea and threw her to the ground. I had one glimpse of the gunman’s face as he sprinted past, his eyes bulging with terror.
“What? What?” said Rea, half-sitting up. I was just going to tell her it was all right now when the policemen thundered past. One was slim and fit but the other was overweight and obviously having a hard time keeping up. Mind you, late afternoon in Morocco is not the ideal time for chasing criminals. The fat policeman was panting loudly and there were large wet patches under the arms of his uniform.
Then, just as we were standing up and brushing the dust from our clothes, another two men came by, also running. Somehow they seemed even more threatening than the gunman and the policemen. Their eyes flicked from side to side as they ran and I shrank back against a stall, feeling suddenly weak.
“What was all that about?” Rea stood up and watched the men as they vanished into the maze of stalls.
“I don’t know,” I said, “but he had a gun. The one they were chasing. Are you OK?”
Rea grinned at me. “Nothing a gin and tonic won’t cure.”

Author review: Mauricio is a real professional. Not only does he produce an accurate translation in a very short time, but that translation catches all the nuances in the author's original work and is accompanied by explanatory notes. I really hope he offers to translate more of my work. |
