Diego and Mateo have their rooms. One day Raul and Maria talk about Raul going to the United States to get more money and to have a better life to bring Maria along with the children later on after Raul gets enough money.

A week later she finally said go ahead and I wish you well on your journey. Raul had a secret stash of money that he saved up just in case of an emergency. He had about 10,000 pesos in that secret stash saved up. Later that day Raul gets off work and goes to a bar and orders a drink. After Raul is done drinking his version becomes blurry and he feels a chills down his spine that paralyze him. Next thing you know, a random man who was in his 30s, black hair, chubby, good-looking clothes, good looking face, with a trustworthy smile that held a dark side of him, Raul sees him in a dark alleyway and the random man came to him offering to take him to the United States. 

Raul thought he was trying to scam him so he said no to the random man. The random man gives him a card with an address telling Raul, “If you want to find me and discuss finding a coyote, just find me,” said the random man. 

The Address said AV INSURGENTES NO. 2920, RUBEN JARAMILLO, 82400, plus Raul thought about talking to him again.

Raul was still wondering if he should look for the guy. On April 7, 1984, he ended up seeing the random man. The random man introduces himself this time. 

“I am Miguel Sanchez but you can call me Miguel,” said the random man. Raul replied, “Nice to meet you, my name is Raul Garcia Lopez but you can call me Raul.” 

“I am a coyote and I am willing to help you get to the United States for 13,000 pesos walking or 25,000 pesos on car,” mentioned Miguel. “I only have 10,000 pesos, can that be enough for the walking one,” claimed Raul. “Yeah that’s fine but you will pay me 3,000 pesos once you start having a good life and don’t worry I will walk with you,” Miguel answered.

“Tomorrow starts your walking journey,” Miguel said. Raul asked, “where are we meeting at.” Miguel replied, “we will meet in the desert close to Chihuahuan.” Raul left and went back home at 8 in the nighttime. Once the door opened Maria hugged Raul and said, “welcome home honey” and Raul started to tell Maria that tomorrow he is going to the United States and he told her that he was leaving at 6 in the morning.

“I thought you left me,” said Raul. “As if, a man keeps his promise,” replied Miguel. “Let’s keep going,” Raul said.

A week later (April 17, 1984) at 10 am they traveled around 1,000 km and Raul and Miguel both started to get heat stroke and Raul fainted. 

Chapter 4: The Betrayal

It was April 18, 1984 9 am, Raul woke up and had rope around his body. Miguel had his knife on his right hand. He thought Raul looked as disloyal as they came. 

Raul screamed, “STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM ME!”. 

Raul had a knife in his back pocket and cut his way out of rope. 

Miguel was laughing and wanting to kill Raul to take what he had. Once Raul cuts the rope he steps back as Miguel launches a swing at him with the knife. Raul after he stepped back he tried to disarm Miguel, Next thing you know Miguel stabbed Raul on his left arm leaving him bleeding. 

“I thought you were not going to betray me,” Raul said. 

“Well that's how it goes in this type of business, it's not you,” responded Miguel.  “You imbecile, I thought you were a man of your word and not a killer,” said Raul calmly. Miguel swang again but this time Raul dodges his swing and he ends up slicing Miguiel in the neck and he ends up running away.

She gets out of the car and has a long red fancy dress with black heels. She helps Raul and takes him to Los Angeles which would take 2-3 hours. They spoke to each other and had a great time. 

“My name is Sandra,” said the woman. “I am glad to meet you. My name is Raul” replied Raul.

They talked until they got there. She let him crash at her place and he ended up living with her for four years.
