As soon as I heard where the boy was, I frantically ran down the stairs. I don't even remember closing the door, I only remember putting on a coat and going.
When I got to the street, I didn't know whether to go up or down it. Was it twelve blocks south or north? I took my first steps towards Hospital Sul and heard a shout.
- Mr. Rodrigues! Wait. We'll take you to your brother.
Phew! Thank goodness. Where I live there are two hospitals twelve blocks away, I would never have guessed right on the first try, even if I had, I have a problem:
"What is the name of the boy I say is my brother?"
We headed towards Hospital Norte. Those minutes dragged on. It seemed like we would never arrive.
