| Arturo is sick. He has been taken to a big Madrid hospital by the paramedics. Inés needs to get him out of the hospital before the green monster poisons him. I mean, before the program finds him. | ||
| Inés was still listening behind Arturo’s bathroom door. The nurses were talking about tests now. Tests! | ||
| Where could she take her friend? And how? The windows in the hospital were closed. The building was almost airtight. As soon as Arturo went outside, he would get even sicker. | ||
| Of course, the girl could have grabbed Arturo’s phone, recharged it, and phoned Arturo’s mum for help. But Inés didn’t think like that. The nurses left. | ||
| OK: I’ll find a place near the hospital for Arturo. The question is, where? | ||
| Arturo was still asleep. She had to get him out of the hospital before these tests. Grown-ups are always doing tests. Is it because they are bored? No. It’s because they are bad! | ||
| So she left the ward. Outside Arturo’s room, the nurses had left a metal shelf full of food. Grown-ups are not only bad, but sooooo silly! No one was looking, so Inés squeezed as much food as she could onto the floor, put it in her backpack, and jumped like a city rat into the elevator. Apart from the monster, today has been a pretty good day! New clothes, new backpack, and food whenever I want! Some days I’m as lucky as a dog with a bone! | ||
