No Sabe de que Habla



Chapter 2- ?Locilazaste al hombre?

As Diego woke up, the Tavern was closed and the guy-who-owned-the-bar was waking him up. Diego rubbed his tired eyes and walked out side.

He started looking for Bernardo, but he was no where in sight. He tried to walk backwards (Bernardo had a strange gift for following people), that didn't work. He looked in the stables, he wasn't there. He even went back to the dungeon type thing where Tornado was kept, he wasn't there either. There wasn't any where else to look, just to ask around.

He found Garcia just sitting in a chair next to the well. Really, Diego didn't know why he was asking Garcia himself, but he was desperate. So he asked anyways.

"Sergeant Garcia, have you seen Bernardo?" Diego asked hopefully. Unfortunately, he gave Diego a confused look and said:

"No, Don Diego, I have not. I saw him leaving the Tavern a little after you fell asleep." Diego was on to something now. Time to think like Zorro, he thought as he quickly came up with the easiest, no-brainer question.

"Did you see which way he went?" Garcia looked confused. Oh my, Gawd Diego thought.

"Actually, I saw him head for outside of town. Maybe he was going back to your hacienda!" Garcia's face lit up at the thought that he might have solved his first mystery on his own. Diego's face also showed a small smile. He looked around for a lantern, and a match to light it with. Garcia held up one.

Saying his thanks to Garcia, Diego turned and started walking outside of town, just as he was lighting the lantern...

ZZZZZZZZ

Bernardo's small moment of joy was wasted as he saw a dim light come up from the blackness of the night. It didn't completely shatter his moment of glory though.

"I think it is time to go now Bernardo. Hasta luego." Padre said as he turned to his own way. Bernardo picked up his practice papers and turned to go back to the town. He tried harder to stuff them into his pocket as he ran back to the hacienda.

He was already nearing the town, and the light was getting closer, so he had to sneak his way around it. He didn't have very much light, and he heard something snap.

He looked down at his own feet and a twig had somehow found its way under his foot. As he looked around to see if anyone was still trying to find him, a rock narrowly missed his ear.

That was enough to spook him. He ran as fast as he could back to the hacienda, and down to the stable where Tornado was kept.

As he sat next to Tornado (the horse was kind of interested in what was on the papers as well), he began digging through the words to try. He saw words such as In, Out, Act, he even found his own name. When he came to the last piece of paper, the word was clearly Zorro.

ZZZZZZZZ

Diego could've sworn he heard something snap. He picked up a rock and threw it in that direction. Thinking Bernardo would never go this far out without telling him, he decided to head back home.

Grief overwhelmed Diego. Why would he do this? Since Diego was just a little baby he could remember Bernardo always being there. He liked all his weird magic tricks, mostly because it left Garcia thinking about it for days. He always laughed, no matter how hard he tried.

As he got closer and closer to the hacienda, an idea hit him so fast and hard it nearly knocked him down. Diego checked his watch and it read 8:57. At this time of night, there was only one place that Bernardo would go.

His heart was pounding as he raced into the hacienda and down into the cellar, nearly knocking his father down. Sure enough though, Bernardo was sitting down next to a brush for Tornado with a few pieces of paper stuffed into his coat pocket...
