Chapter 11 Sandra's schemes (1)
IN THE POLICE STATIONCarlos is at his desk in front of Tito. The mayor wants to know what's going on in the neighborhood. The conversation already started.Tito is reacting surprised, "What? Daylight robbery?""Exactly! The boy spent the night here in the cell. But, I checked his background. Nothing. He debuted in the criminal world and paid for it. I don't think he ever tries again.""God help me not. Today's youth... Why did they say the 1980s were the lost decade? It didn't have half the problems today.""Young boy, he could be working as a supermarket assistant, or in his father's workshop... But, no, they are unoccupied today... They don't even want to watch television, nowadays they are all restless.""Do you think it's an isolated case?""He said categorically that he was not under the command of any gang. But, I trust not very much.""It was just what I needed, gangs killing each other in our neighborhood.""With the necessary tools, we will do a good job."Tito does not captu

Chapter 12 Sandra's schemes (2)
IN MALTHUS SNACKEd enters the snack bar. He passes by and does not look at Cássio and Sandra talking at one of the tables in the background. He goes straight to the counter."What do you want now, Ed? Something more than a pastry?""What I ate this morning was the best cheese pastry in my entire life. And yes, I want one more."Aurélio looks at his wristwatch, "For kids like you, isn't it almost dinner time?""Then why can they?"Ed points to Cássio and Sandra’s table.

POLICE STATION - DAY Wednesday, the routine begins. Casual amount of residents and policemen. Among them, Ricardo smiles silly, he seeks with his eyes until he finds Carlos's desk. He goes to him and sits down, "Here I am. What do you want to know?" Carlos doesn't like Ricardo's stance, "You know that our neighborhood is relatively new, Mr. Oliveira." "I know. I came here in 1997. There was almost no one on my street. It looked like a ghost town. Now that it's getting fun." "Yes, and unfortunately there is a resident who is not having any sense of fun. On Monday, I had to intervene in an armed robbery. You must have heard of it." "No, our neighborhood still doesn't have a radio or a newspaper." Ricardo's tone is always jibing and mocking. "Well, that's what happened. And yesterday, I receive an anonymous tip about clandestine electrical connections, what people call a ‘cat’." "Okay, and what do I have to do with it?" "They mentioned your address, Mr. Oliveira." Ricardo looks

Did someone try to rob the bakery yesterday?"He answers with another question, "Do we already have a criminal faction for something this big?""No, but remember that they already started with a robbery in broad daylight with Monica."Jonas has an explosion, "They should have taken her purse, so she could run out of books and starve to death!"Annie chooses a table to sit at, "Are you going to tell me what happened? Or can I try to guess now?""What do you think?""Whoever gave that mark was Monica. It looks like a woman's slap."Jonas walks away and stands behind the counter. Visibly upset."I'm sorry, Jon...""You asked her not to interfere, that we had agreed, and she came in next to closing and got in. I threw truths in her face and she reacted like that."Annie has shallow water eyes, "Honey, I'm sorry...""Don't worr

POLICE STATION - DAY Carlos this time sees Sandra standing at the entrance. He interrupts his laughter. "Have you been attended yet, miss?" Monica turns around and sees her too, "Sandra! What a small world." Sandra replies wryly, "Small neighborhood." "No way, look at the size of that map!" Sandra approaches, "Chief, since yesterday I made a complaint, but it seems that it didn’t give results. There are gathering kids in a group near my house and they just sit idly practically all day. Nobody knows what they want; if they are watching to steal us later." "Miss, you will have to gather more neighbors to complain to Seu Tito. We are unable to do something of this magnitude. I managed to arrest one who assaulted your friend, but a gang... I hope not, but as soon as possible we will look." "I hope there won't be a tragedy before. May my boyfriend won't cry leaning over my coffin. Excuse me." Sandra stomps away. Monica is thoughtful, "How strange... Kids attacking in daylight... S

MONICA’S LIVING ROOM - DAYAnnie confronts Monica for having argued and beaten up Jonas. Carina inadvertently ends up witnessing."Annie, calm down..."Annie is hurt, "How could you, Monica? I trusted you. I asked you not to get involved!"Monica gets supplicant, "Annie, don't you see that this story is a little weird? Jonas's family is taking this competition talk too seriously. The neighborhood is starting; we still have little shops... Try to open a bakery Downtown, or even in Tangamandápio! There they will see competition. Although it was not the case, I think it’s unfair to involve his girlfriend and future daughter-in-law.""Will we have a wedding after that?"Carina respectfully opines, "If he stops loving you because of that, then he is the fool, dear.""Annie, sit down, and let's talk calmly—" Monica gets up and tries to lead Annie to the sofa, but she dodges the other."I don't want to talk anymore, Monica. I just came to check it out of your mouth. Now I have to go home and

Miriam bounces on the chair and says in a tone of complaint, "Oh, Seu Aurélio, what a fright! Did you hear anything?""Was I supposed to hear or not hear something?

Today I'm hungry."Monica gets into the snack bar, worried.Aurélio goes to her, "Can I wish you ‘good morning’?""Oh, Seu Aurélio, I let you. I need it.""Chicken patty always goes well in those hours.

RESIDENTS' ASSOCIATION Total silence. Célio is still standing, listening. Tito is in an embarrassed beat, "We're still getting organized..." Sandra screams, "Get organized before I'm raped!" Célio reacts, "Turn your mouth over there, Sandra! I know who can help us." Sandra turns to him, "Who?" "It's Carina Sousa." Sandra got a pretty strong angry reaction to the pronounced name, "That dead-fly Carina, getting involved in public security matters? She trembles just because someone holds out a gun!" "I'm not saying that she will be the next Wonder Woman, but she can help us with—" Célio cleared his throat, "Advertising. There is the software called Corel Draw, which she knows how to work like never before." Tito says, "I've never heard of this girl, but if she can help, send her over tomorrow or today if you find her." Célio is glad to help, "Leave it to me, Seu Tito!" Cássio finally arrives, "And so, Célio, what job will be today?" Sandra turns to him and smiles, "Good mornin
