La puta madre!!!/Damn it!!!

Hace tan sólo unos minutos, estaba en la puerta de casa hablando por celular con un amigo que me llamó desde muy lejos. Suelo salir a hablar, porque mis hijas, que son MUY cuidas, me persiguen preguntando con quién hablo, por qué, etc... y suelo aprovechar para fumar un cigarrillo, porque en casa no fumo.
Justo en frente de casa hay un super de chinos, re buena gente, muy amables, muy limpios, y baratísimos!!!! Cada vez que cruzo a comprar solemos charlar bastante con Kiu, Chin, Chan y Chen. Y como están en frente, más de una vez cruzo miles de veces por día, porque siempre algo me olvido de comprar.
Estaba tranquilamente charlando, cuando un auto Duna rojo con vidrios polarizados se estaciona en doble fila, a tan sólo unos 3 metros de donde estaba parada yo, y aceleraba, como haciéndole notar a alguien que se apurara. Pensé que era un remise que estaba avisándole a su pasajero que se apurara, porque también tocó la bocina desaforadamente un par de veces.
Hice un comentario a este amigo con el que hablaba sobre qué imbécil el de auto que estaba haciendo tanto ruido que no podíamos hablar tranquilos.
No llevó más de 5 minutos todo esto... de pronto veo a uno de los autos de seguridad del barrio que se estaciona detrás del Duna, le hace luces, y como cuete salen dos jovencitos, usando cap y la capucha del cangurito sobre las cabezas, corriendo como locos del supermercado... el auto arranca y los muchachitos se tiran de cabeza al auto en movimiento, tirando dos tiros al auto de seguridad, y salen arando! El de seguridad les devuelve un par de tiros y empieza la persecución.
Enseguida veo que sale Kiú... y atrás Chan... y enseguida un montón de gente, clientes del lugar. Corto el llamado que estaba haciendo y me entero que habían entrado a robar... se llevaron una fortuna entre las cajas del super, la de la verdulería y la de la carnicería.
Y como si fuera poco, amenazaron a todos los que estaban adentro con las armas, y le robaron a algunos de los clientes también.
No lo puedo creer y todavía me tiemblan las piernas... porque esto no pasó tarde a la noche... eran apenas las siete y media de la tarde. Todavía, una hora más tarde, estoy temblando... porque les vi la cara a los cacos, porque estaba parada tan cerca del auto... porque los cohetazos rebotaron en el pavimento a unos metros solamente de donde estaba yo parada.





Just a few minutes ago, I was at the door speaking on the phone with a friend of mine who lives very far away (actually I was standing on the front lawn of my house). I usually go out to chat, either to the front or the back garden of my house, because my daughters, who are VERY curious and are after me, start asking who I am talking to, and why, and what I am talking about, etc... and I also have a puff while I am at it, as I do not smoke inside the house.

Just across the street from home, there is a supermarket owned by chinese. They are very nice people, very kind and clean, and sell at incredible prices!!!! Every time I cross the street to do the shopping, I usually chat a while with Kiu, Chi, Chan and Chen. And as they are right across the street, I tend to go several times a day, as I always seem to have forgotten to buy something.

Y was peacefully and happily speaking to my friend, when a red Duna car with black windows parks in the middle of the street, justo some 3 metres from where I was standing, and it kept stepping on the accelerator as well as the brake, making an awful sound and bothering me while I was talking. I thought it was one of these rental cars, and that the driver was making all this fuss and honking so as to make his passenger hurry a bit. I even made a comment on this to my friend, saying that an arsehole was making all this noise and I would go over and tell him to stop as we could not hear each other well.

All this didn't take much longer than 5 minutes... suddenly I see that one of the security cars that is all the time looking after our neighbourhood parked behind this red car and flashed its lights at it, and a moment later two young guys, wearing caps over their heads ran out of the supermarket running as mad... the car that was waiting for them started moving quickly with both these guys jumping into it and almost not making it before it sped away, shooting twice at the security guard behind them! This one shot back at them and sped in persuit.

Immediately I see kiu walking out of the supermarket... and following him comes Chan.. and lots of other people, csutomers, follow suit.

I stopped talking to my friend and asked him to phone me in a while, because I thought that the supermarket had been robbed ... these thieves took all the moeny from the greengrocer's, the butcher's as well as the one in the cash registers of the supermarket. And as if this were not enough, everyone inside had been threatened with guns and some customers had been robbed of their purses, cell phones and jewelry as well.

I cannot believe it and my legs are still trembling and I am shaking all over... because this did not happen late at night... it was hardly half past seven in the evening/afternoon. Still, one hour later, I am shaking... because I saw their faces, because I was standing so close to the car... because the shot that bounced on the pavement did so just a few metres from where I was standing on my front garden.
