Carlos was awakened in the morning by the first sun rays that came though the window. He had not sleep well. He wished he could sleep with one eye open. That thing he saw the night before was real and was somewhere around the house.

He listened carefully. Not a noise. His dad had left for sure. He sighed turning around when he saw the red eyes staring back at him.

- You!!!! – he screamed to the creature who stood motionless next to the bed.

- Hi…. – emitted the animal's lips.

- What did you do yesterday?

- Learn to speak…. I guess? – You are Carlos right? – he said slowly and paced.

- Well. It seems that you knew how to speak before. Where are you from?

- I don't remember. – replied the lizard like animal confused.

- What was your interest in my computer?

- I don't know. Something from the inside was calling me….

- Well. Whoever you are you need to find your way back. In the mean time I guess I'll have to show you around.

So Carlos began showing the house to the new annoying guest. He pointed at everything asking what it was and trying to touch everything which had Carlos very upset.

- Look. I am going to take a shower. Why don't you sit here in front of that thing called the Television and watch something for a while ok?

- Ok. – replied the creature receiving the remote control from Carlos.

Carlos came out of the shower and he dressed up. Coming out to the living room he saw the creature staring quietly at the screen. At this hour all you could see were soap operas. He was watching one where a couple was about to kiss in the mouth. Carlos stood in front of the screen.

- Having fun?

- Hey. I was watching that!

- Don't tell me you find that interesting.

- I have calculated they use the word love many times around. Why?

- Love? Do you know what is love?

- Well. I searched in my head and found thousands of definitions….

- Ok… Ok….. look. Love is a human feeling. That means words are sometimes not enough to describe or define.

- Why?

- Well. It's something you feel. It's when you find someone you care about and you act different than usual. Then again. There are many kinds of love…., end of the discussion. – said Carlos moving away and walking to the kitchen.

- I'll fix breakfast. What are you having?

- Eat? . No thank you.

- Ok. Never mind. – said Carlos in the distance.

Having eaten breakfast Carlos went back to his room to check on his computer. Everything was back to normal. The network was working again. In the usual chat room he found Clara.

Hi Clara. How is it going?

I'm ok. Had a test yesterday. It went good.

I'm glad for you. I have to tell you about my life. The last 24 hours have been crazy.

My day was also strange you know. Ok. You start…..

-----------------Server down------------------

- What?! Not again. – said Carlos very upset when his cell phone started ringing.

Carlos picked the cell phone from his desk. The digital display showed a number he had not seen before. Anyhow, he pressed the Ok button.

- Hello?

- Listen to me carefully….. – said a man's voice that sounded very far away and surrounded by static. You need to get out of your house now.

- Hey, who is this? Is this some kind of prank?

- As we speak, a specialized team of people are coming to your house in association with the police……. They want the creature.

- How did you know about…….!! – he replied nervously and was interrupted again by the man.

- There is no time to explain. Do you have any means of transportation?

- What?

- Do you have a car?!

- Yes. The other car is parked in the underground.

- I want you to drive to the airport in your city. You have to hurry…. – said the voice before hanging up.

Carlos stood from his chair very nervous. He closed his eyes in disbelief but he was pulled to reality again when he heard faintly in the distance the sounds of sirens.

"This is ridiculous!" he thought as he saw that his new friend was still in the living room watching a soap opera.

- Ok, lizard boy, fun is over. We have to get out of here.

- Hey, That's not my name!

- Then, what's your name?

- Uhhhh… I don't remember. – said the creature shrugging his shoulders.

- Then I'll call you Luis. That's close enough…..for a name. We have to go…..

- Where are we going?

- I'll explain on the way. – said Carlos picking the keys to the pick up truck on the table.

They came down stairs to the garage. Fortunately people preferred the elevator so nobody saw Luis coming down. For added luck, the pick up was parked with the front facing the exit; it would be easy for Carlos to drive out.

Carlos sat at the driver sear and instructed Luis to lay low on the side seat. He took a deep breath before turning the engine on. He had received his license only recently so this would be his first drive further than the limits of his neighborhood.

- Dad's gonna kill me! - he murmured as he drove out to the street.

He drove around many small streets until he could get a main avenue. The 7th was a principal street in this city.

- Now, how do I get to the airport….. – asked Carlos to himself out loud.

- Take a right. – said Luis spontaneously.

- What?

- When I was looking at your computer yesterday I recognized this area of the city. I could see a satellite map. This city has only one major airport.

- Then, right it is…..

As he drove to the intersection of 7th with 116 he looked back and saw that in the opposite direction, toward his home, headed a group of black colored SUVs.

"This is not a prank" – thought Carlos scared to death.

- Take a left here. – said Luis like a robot.

"It's like having a living GPS" thought Carlos as he drove the crowded city streets.

They drove for a long time to the Boyaca Avenue and then they turned to El Dorado Avenue, which was the path to reach the airport.

- I wonder where are we going…… - said Carlos when the cell phone in the glove compartment started ringing.

Carlos reached the glove compartment and received the call.

- It seems you eluded the bad guys for now…. – said the voice at the other side of the line.

- I don't know why am I listening to you….- said Carlos upset.

- You did well. Now, pay attention. When I tell you pull over close to the hangar area. There is a blind spot where nobody will be able to see you. – the man made a pause. Then suddenly he exclaimed – Now!!

Carlos pulled over and parked the pick up very close to a series of metal gates.

- Now what….. – said Carlos to the stranger.

- There is an electronic lock that controls the far right door. Go there, I'll have it opened for you.

Both ran to the far right. Nobody was there.

- Got it.

- When I tell you, turn the handle gently and quickly run to the very end of the corridor. Don't look back or stop 'till you get to the very end.

- Wait…. How do you know…..

- Now!

As he were stung by an angry bee Carlos opened the door and ran along the corridor taking Luis by the hand.

Good. Nobody saw you. Now take the door on the right. There is a dog cage very close to it when you cross. Tell the creature to get in. You have to go back the way you came afterwards.
