Camilo then realized, wasn't everyone else asleep? The time was now 11PM and he had seen everyone else asleep upstairs... why was his name being called? He ran back upstairs after realizing it, just in time as well because he thought he saw the shadow of someone moving around in the dark, beginning to chase him. Camilo ran back into the room but he figure pulled his hair just as he got to the door

The shadowy figure covered his mouth and that somehow made him pass out in just seconds. The moment he woke up he panicked but was relieved when he realized it was just a nightmare. He was back in bed, he sat up taking a few deep breaths stopping himself from crying.

After a moment he looked at the window again. He carefully draped his blanket over his shoulders to keep himself warm, then walked closer the the window, well- can't really consider it a window, it was like a sliding glass door that opened and led to a balcony. Camilo opened the door and walked onto the balcony, staying away form the edge though so he wouldnt fall. For a while, to keep himself occupied since he couldnt sleep, he counted cars that passed by the building

Soon, the little boy from hours ago walked up to him. "You can't sleep either?" He asked.

"No.." Camilo sighed

"Well- are you okay? It scared me when you fainted earlier." The boy said.

"Of course, I'm fine. I was just- scared, that's all." Camilo smiled at him. "What's your name?" He asked.

"Oh- my name? Sorry, I forgot to tell you! My name is Miguel." He smiled back, then yawned, seeming tired

"Well, maybe you should try to go back to sleep, it's really late.." Camilo picked Miguel up and walked back into the building. Walking back to the room he was supposed to be in and carefully setting him down on his bed

"Goodnight." Miguel said.

"Goodnight." Camilo pulled a blanket over Miguel's body, making sure he fell asleep.

Soon Camilo walked back to the other room and took a book from one of the shelves, he went back onto the balcony and sat down, quietly humming a song to himself, beginning to read a book that caught his eye, a story commonly told in his town. "La Llorona". It was a scary story, but it was one of his favorites.

After a while he unintentionally fell asleep. When he woke up it was already morning and Daniel was sitting in front of him, quietly reading he book Camilo was reading before

"Morning." Camilo spoke up, yawning for a moment "Did I accidentally fall asleep out here?"

"Yeah, you did. But I made sure you weren't cold." Daniel gestured his hand to the pillows and blankets that seemed to be all around them

Camilo realized the familiar structure, it was a blanket fort, he slightly laughed. Remembering how he use to build these with Antonio.

After a few minutes they both walked downstairs and one of the officers from the night before pulled Camilo aside. "We have more information about Mateo, it's important that you know some of it."
