I returned home for my savings, maybe with that I could buy a ticket back ...

I heard Mom arrive and open the door, I managed to escape through the window of my room and run to the train station.

- Hello, a ticket, please- I said exhausted from so much running

-to...where? - Asked the lady behind the booth where they sold the tickets.

- Underground City -

She stared at me through her glasses which really made me very uncomfortable.

- know what?, in fact it is nonsense, obviously there is no underground city - I mentioned keeping the bills in my bag.

- No, it's not nonsense - she said making signs to enter in the tiny cabin, which I obeyed and entered - Follow me - pushed a small golden lever that was there. Generally that cabin was about to overflow sales but that particular day was deserted.

She guided me through a very dark tunnel, which she then illuminated with a torch.

"Ready girl?" The lady asked. "Now, just  Slide down through this conduit and you'll get to the train," she said pointing to the floor that had a huge hole.

-I do not know , Is it safe?

-don't worry it's perfectly safe, also if you do not slide down I Will push you -

That had not been part of the deal, (although there was no deal) but I would not allow them to treat me like that.

- I'm sorry but I can not go this way- I said a little annoyed

- I understand ...- she said pushing me towards that strange hole

-Aaaaaaaa- I was screaming trying to grab some root or rock as I fell.

- I ... I hoy you- I heard a voice at the end of the tunnel It was secret!

-Secret, I'm glad to see you! - I hugged him tightly, because he had slowed my fall.

-It's also good to see you- said placing me on the floor -What are you doing here? -

-I was going to take a train to see you-

- What a coincidence. I came to this station to look for you- He said with a smile - now, tell me, do you have the box I gave you? -

-I do not have it-

With that phrase ... I just received a look of disapproval from him.

I had failed ...

-Well, where do you think it is? - He asked with crossed arms and serious.

- on that train - I pointed out that machine in motion.

- I see ... and how do you plan to recover it?
