A week later studying at San Pedro university , on a Monday morning , a bus was heard parking outside Ms Meriya's house , prof Fuentes had brought one of the university buses , he was going around the student's addresses for those who provided them to pick them up for a trip .

Looking through the window , Ms Meriya saw the bus outside , her daughter had told them about the trip she was to have , Meriya told her to hurry up or else she was to be left for that trip that was so important for her studies ,Fiona asked her whether Victor was already on bus , her mother told her she couldn't see him on board , Victor finally showed at Fiona's house , the two had agreed to get on board from Fiona's house, he didn't go inside the house , simply went to the bus and began staring at the house waiting for Fiona to come out , Fuentes thought everyone was on board when he saw Victor get inside the bus , asked the driver to start the bus and when Victor saw the bus leaving , told the professor who was standing in the doorway to wait ,someone was missing.

"Doctor ,someone is missing," he insisted and hurriedly stepped out of the bus .

"Who ?" Fuentes asked . " If there is anyone missing , we will pick them up from their homes ."

"No sir , she lives here ."

"Just get in the bus Victor , if she lives here , she would be on bus by now. "

"Professor, we're leaving someone behind ."

"Just get on the bus, stop being stubborn ."

Victor reluctantly entered the bus with his eyes outside , saw an empty seat , went to sit down and to his surprise, Fiona was already inside the bus ,sited at the window and looking outside .

"When did you get in ?" a surprised Victor asked .

"I've been here for about two minutes ." She turned her head towards him.

"I've been outside trying to make the professor wait for you yet you're already inside and you never bothered to say something ."

"Calm down Victor , my mind has been somewhere else ."

"Whatever goes on in your mind , it's unhealthy Fiona ," he sat down . "I can not believe it I've been out there stretching out my lungs and you're in here sited comfortably."

"I'm sorry ."

For about thirty minutes , the bus was already a San Pedro hospital ,the students got out of the bus one by one , Fiona was excited about her first field work , she was to find out how it really was to be a doctor , the students were taken inside a mortuary ,a room where there were a couple of dead bodies waiting for a forensic .

"All right class , here we're and this is what we came here to see, if you easily get nausea , you can ask to be excused or go back to your homes and never come back ,however , I believe you're all staying since I see no one is leaving." Looked around among them ,saw no one making a move . " These bodies you see here are of guerrilla militants , they were buried in one grave and the army found them , we are here to find out how they really died ." Fuentes continued explaining to his class .

"Did you say they are for guerrilla militants ?" Fiona asked after looking around from each and every body as the professor was explaining .

"Yes Fiona , do you have anything to say ?'

"These are not guerrilla militants professor."

"What makes you say so ?"

"Look at these bodies professor , the boots on these bodies are all new and misplaced in their feet , their clothes are new too though covered with mad, maybe because of mud from where they were buried , these are just simple farmers from the countryside , they're not militants ."
