Lincoln carefully observed where he was while he felt a big headache suffering what would be the consequences of a night of partying or madness with drugs. He did not understand what was happening but he did know that what he was suffering were the consequences of a very crazy party which I didn't remember, although the primary question of the day was "where am I?" Lincoln didn't know where he was at that moment, it wasn't any of his houses or mansions, it didn't even look like the kind of place where his acquaintances would have a party.

Lincoln: where the hell am I?... -He asked himself that, scratching his hair, rubbing his head, moving towards the edge of the bed only to later when he got off and his vision cleared a little more, he noticed that he was wearing cotton pants. Dirty gym with what looked like vomit and a white t-shirt with a hole as if it had been stretched with force- ...well Lincoln remembers...

He said that while sitting on the edge of the bed trying to remember what had happened but he could only remember that he was in his office with the group of pears trying out a project. . . Space jump, when Lincoln remembered that an idea crossed his mind, this could perhaps be the cause of the Pears portals but he could also have dreamed all that, no, that was too real to be a dream

Lincoln: Pears, what the fuck did you do?!... -He was saying this very upset, thinking that everything that was happening was Pears' fault, but now was not the time to blame someone but it was time to know where the fuck was and because he felt that his body was different- ...well Lincoln, don't give up! You can do it!

?: "gringo" stop yelling...you just woke us up from our ass rest...agh

A dark-skinned Latin boy looked down the hallway looking into the room only to later see that Lincoln remained silent, surprised, releasing a sigh almost of complaint and then noticing that he was acting strange.

?: stop looking at me like that, do you like me?...come, Clara prepared something to eat -he motioned to Lincoln to follow him as he headed towards the apartment's dining room-

Lincoln had been surprised by the sudden appearance of a guy of the same age, it was clear that he was Mexican and he was also speaking to him in Hispanic Spanish but somehow Lincoln could understand him clearly, the questions and doubts increased in Lincoln's mind. As he approached the entrance to see the exterior hallway, that hallway connected the entrance to the other rooms and apparently it was a somewhat old apartment but maintained in some way.

Lincoln: why can I understand him?...he knows me but I don't remember...

Lincoln left the room walking barefoot down the hallway, going where he saw the strange guy had left. When he reached the end of the hallway, he managed to see how to his right was the kitchen next to the dining room, which would be a simple round table and next to it. On the left there was a sofa as well as a television next to a door which was clearly the entrance or exit of that apartment, the place was well maintained but it was not the type of luxurious apartment that Lincoln was usually used to, while he observed that place Confused, trying to remember or know something, he was surprised by a kiss on the cheek. He quickly reacted by moving a step back, looking at the person who kissed him on the cheek, noticing that it was a 29-year-old woman, also Mexican, with a normal appearance that almost had her sensuality. He was only wearing a large green jacket over his torso and then below the waist he was only wearing his underwear.

Clara: good morning Lincoln, lunch is ready... prepare bacon with fried eggs

The woman said that, smiling at him like her sisters did before, only to then move away from Lincoln to be able to sit next to her partner Pedro. Lincoln didn't understand everything very well, so noticing how the Mexican guy was telling him to sit down and eat, he listened to him, sitting down. his side of the table, facing them, looking at his plate with bacon and fried eggs, then he saw how Pedro and Clara began to bless their food, making him also copy them, thus ending with them starting to eat while Lincoln watched them confused, only for later. Because of how hungry he was, he also started to eat what Clara had prepared for him.

Pedro: It was delicious, love... -Pedro approached Clara after eating, just to give her a kiss and then end up resting again from eating so much, looking at Lincoln, noticing that he was acting strange- ...what happened, "gringo"? Does ecstasy still affect you?

Lincoln remained silent when faced with the questions of his "friend" or "partner" while he continued thinking about the chances that he would get drunk with Pears and end up like "what happened yesterday", but first he needed to discover the truth so Swallowing, he prepared to speak.

Lincoln: ...where?...where are we? -At first he spoke badly, saying a word wrong, almost stuttering, only to later say it correctly.

Pedro: are you seriously asking me that? -Pedro looked at him a little confused although it was more of an expression surprised by what Lincoln was saying-

Lincoln: just...! -Lincoln was going to raise his voice or rather she was going to scream but then upon seeing them he knew well that they did not deserve his fury- ...just tell me please

Pedro: okay... -Pedro didn't quite understand what was happening but he still wanted to help his friend so he just took out his cell phone from among his clothes to end up like this after showing Lincoln the Google map- ...we are in Mexico , the city of torreón

When Lincoln saw that his eyes opened completely in surprise, not only was he far from his house but he was also in another country, but even so he had to continue asking and inquiring so he decided to continue, he swallowed saliva so he could continue talking.

Lincoln: Who am I?... -When he asked that, he noticed Clara and Pedro's expression of confusion, making him speed up his speech wanting an answer- ...just tell the story of how we met, who I am... .also...do you know starL industries?

Clara: I'm sorry but we don't know an industry like that you call "starL"

Pedro responded just as clearly without understanding what Lincoln was talking about, causing the albino to be surprised and show a pale expression. After Lincoln could say something, Pedro began to tell about the life of Lincoln and him since they met. According to Pedro, they were They had known each other for 4 years, they both met at the Lollapalooza festival in Mexico. Quickly, among alcohol, they became friends and decided to travel together around the country to see new things, until 3 years ago when they decided to rent an apartment due to Clara's sudden relationship. and Pedro who were, just as they are now, very much in love with each other.
After they both settled in the apartment and Clara moved in with them, Pedro started working while Clara worked a scary job for a while as a waitress, the only one who seemed to remain just as immersed in shit and partying was Lincoln who paid. barely what was needed to maintain electricity, water and gas, according to what Pedro Lincoln said, he was a useless person immersed in drugs who could not do anything and always ruined everything, the current Lincoln could only look at Pedro very surprised by all the events that he told him about "his person" and I could think some things about what was happening, first with Pedro's explanation of their years of friendship, just as he also did not seem to lie, it was clear that this was not his body and also this was not their world so they did not know the logos or the "starL" industry, secondly because of how he defined the Lincoln of this world, he was not the same as the present Lincoln, this other Lincoln was a complete disaster, then finally There was the fact of being in Mexico, according to Pedro apparently he escaped from my family and came to explore Mexico, perhaps the same events that occurred in my world or universe occurred in this one but thanks to the fact that the Lincoln of this world took a different path both ended at different points

Lincoln: (great...I ended up in another world, thanks pears) ...well before I continue talking I have something to explain to you and I hope you understand it as best you can

Lincoln began to explain everything that happened yesterday or an hour ago, it was somewhat complicated to explain for the position because the time and other things were very confusing, like he didn't understand everything well, after explaining how he got there he gave a quick explanation about who. It was him and what the "StarL" industries were like how his life was unlike that of the Lincoln they knew, at first Pedro and Clara took it as a joke or a bad joke, but the more he explained very complex things he could know and they believed him, the Lincoln that they knew could never invent all those things even if he was a good liar, he did not have the mental capacity to create so many complicated things, the current Lincoln felt somewhat offended since their minds should be the same or perhaps the same. People's lives are what develop their minds, well, that didn't matter now so after Lincoln finished explaining everything he just stayed silent waiting for Pedro's questions or for him to at least say something about all this.

Pedro: ...then you are not the Lincoln that we know, but you are the Lincoln of another...dimension or universe? -Pedro looked at Clara confused, asking her this so she could choose one-

Clara: ...universe...

Pedro: ...another universe, in which you are a successful businessman who hates his family for what they did to him many years ago where they said that you bring bad luck, am I okay?

Lincoln: Yes.

Clara: Are you bad luck? -Clara, she asked that, looking at him curious as to whether that was true or not-

Lincoln: No! -Lincoln responded somewhat annoyed with talking about the topic of bad luck again-

Clara laughed a little at his sudden angry attitude because they told him that. Pedro continued thinking about everything that had happened, looking at the table, only to then look up to see Lincoln's face.

Pedro: well, now what are you going to do? - Pedro showed a serious expression, he was a good friend of Lincoln so it was common for him to help him or worry about him, but although he asked that, he had a second question in mind that he did not dare to ask for fear of the answer he would receive. (where is the Lincoln we know?)

Lincoln: Well, the first thing would be to find Pears so he can explain and fix all this, but since I don't know where he could be... I think it would be to get to the United States, that way I can investigate more and find Pears... .

Clara: who is pears? -She asked that confused because she didn't know that person called Pears-

Lincoln: Pears, he is my chief scientist for a project to create portals to transport people and materials, apparently something went wrong and I ended up here...he is the second person who has answers and solutions to my current problem

Lincoln explained a little about who Pears was, only to then listen to Pedro speak to him after finishing speaking.

Pedro: If you plan to arrive to the United States, I do not recommend using airplanes. After some problems that you caused, you are on the blacklist...you cannot fly without an officer guarding you.

Pedro said that remembering the event that caused the two to be placed on the watch list, it was somewhat uncomfortable so to speak but it was something that Lincoln could not avoid due to alcohol and drugs.

Lincoln: What did I do? -Lincoln asked this discouraged, afraid of Pedro's answer.

Pedro: well, you started a discussion about the United States being a country of freedom, all started because you came out of the airplane bathroom in your underwear in front of women and minors only to then end up saying the word "the United States is a BOMB" apparently that's what It caused everyone to panic and the icing on the cake was that when the plane police officer wanted to catch you, you refused to be arrested.

Lincoln: Is the Lincoln of this world always an idiot?

Pedro: 80 out of 100 times...

The three of them started to laugh a little, although it was more like a dry laugh because they remembered bad times. After that, Lincoln knew that he couldn't use a plane, there was only one way to get to the United States that he could use, it was kind of cheap, which It was cheap since he didn't seem to have any money but it would still be a long and dangerous trip.

Lincoln: Pedro, I need you to tell me some things...also to lend me some money.

Pedro looked at him somewhat surprised, only to then accept what Lincoln was telling him and nod in approval, making it clear that he would help him with whatever he needed.

6 days later.
Lincoln was sitting inside the container of a yellow cargo truck that was pulling the container which inside there was a group of 13 people, including men, women and children, among them was Lincoln who was sitting sweating. little like his traveling companions, while the cargo truck moved slowly across the Cordoba-Las Americas international bridge in the city of El Paso, the driver had planned to cross the border passing through there, deceiving the emigrants, as it was Of course, upon seeing such a large truck arrive, the inspection would first be done. They told the driver to take it to another road and then told him to stop. The driver, as planned, followed everything indicated, only to later see the immigration officer approach the truck. side of the truck roll down the window so they can talk

Erick: nice to meet you officer...it's a nice day, isn't it? -He was leaning on the window to be able to talk to the officer, smiling like an idiot-

Officer: yes, very nice...papers sir, I need to know what you have so please have the container

The officer spoke seriously, looking at the driver, only to then tell him to give him the loading and transportation papers, just as he told him to get out of the vehicle. The driver, calmly following his actions, gave him a cardboard folder with the necessary papers for a trip and pace calmly, then while the officer was reviewing the papers, Erick got out of the truck and walked to the back looking for the key to the padlock that closed the door of the container.

Erick: Are all the papers okay?

Officer: yes, you just have to update some things but you still have time...

The officer spoke calmly and seriously while still being cautious with the driver, then he saw how Erick opened the back door, first removing the lock and then seeing the inside when he opened the door, the only thing that was seen was a pile of boxes. creating a wall of these since they were all one on top of the other preventing them from seeing towards the bottom, this wall of boxes occupied half of the interior while in the other half there were people staying frozen and silent to avoid being discovered

Officer: Well, according to the paper, you are transporting avocados, please move away from the truck.

The officer told Erick to go to the break room since this would take a while. Erick, hiding his concern, left calmly, joking with a female officer, only to then go to the break room, which was a separate building from the ones. others where the customs officers were resting, after Erick left the officers began to take out some boxes, checking their interior, the rule dictated that they had to remove all of them, so Erick, although he acted carefree, felt a great panic for fear that they discover them.

An hour and a half later they told Erick that he could continue his trip, which took a great weight off his shoulders. Thanks to Erick's luck, the two officers who were assigned to do the inspection were very lazy, so they only checked 13 boxes. and then they stopped checking.

Officer: You can go now Mr. Erick, have a good trip

Erick: thank you, have a nice day

Erick said goodbye to the officer while he got into the vehicle, settling into the driver's seat. Afterwards, still following his actions, he hoped that they would lift the barrier that was at the exit. It was simply a gate so it wouldn't take long, after they let him out. He continued his trip at the speed allowed for cargo trucks along the route, advancing through the city highway only to then leave the city and pick up the radio which was connected to speakers at the back inside the container, beginning to speak animatedly.

Erick: Ladies and gentleman, I am happy to report that we are in the United States, New Mexico State!

Everyone in the back inside the truck began to celebrate, very happy for managing to avoid customs and reach the United States without problems.

Felipe: hahaha, we did it "gringo"!

Lincoln: hahaha yes, we are in the United States "paco"!

Lincoln stood up very excited, crashing his right hand against Felipe's right hand, who also stood up. After that, both of them, very excited, began to shout, celebrating for having managed to cross the border with everyone inside, on the entire trip that began four years ago. days it was inevitable for everyone in there to meet and become friends, now everyone was talking and laughing as if they were friends, among whom was Felipe nicknamed "Paco", a 29 year old young man with a good heart, Lincoln upon meeting him couldn't help but remember Clyde , they were the same in attitude and attitude, for that very fact somehow they both got along very well and became close

Erick: We have a long trip ahead of us but I will stop at some point to eat, just keep celebrating for a while!

Everyone began to celebrate by opening bottles of alcohol that they had brought, the only one who did not drink was Lincoln who only drank water from a bottle so that his body would lose the habit of alcohol at least enough so that it would not be something necessary for his body.

After a few hours the truck was still moving even though it was already 11:00 pm at night, inside the container everyone was already sleeping except for two people, Lincoln and Paco were still awake talking about what they had planned. to do in the United States while sitting with their backs against the wall

Felipe: ...after I arrive in Denver with my family I will start working with my uncle, he is a mechanic so it will be simple, while I do that I also plan to study medicine, my dream is to be a great doctor...look, they are my family

Felipe spoke very animatedly to Lincoln about his dreams when leaving there only to then show him a photo of his entire family saying the name of each one and who they were, only to end up asking Lincoln about his goals in the United States and his family.

Felipe: And you have family here?

Lincoln: ...well...no, my family and I don't get along...it all started when they left me sleeping outside even though I was only 11, I was literally a child and they still abandoned me, now we don't We talk a lot and every time we talk it is so they can notify me of some lawsuit, I hate them and I am not going to deny it...if I could do something to make them suffer, I would do it...not out of resentment but because I can't let them. that hypocrites like them live well after causing so much evil

Felipe: but they are your family, of course they had their problems...but always at the end of the day, they are your blood, and it doesn't matter how much you hate them or they hate you, they and you know that when someone has problems they will be there for you. the other

Felipe spoke calmly to him, completely sure of what he was saying as if it were his religion or thoughts, Lincoln only looked at him somewhat surprised while noticing that Felipe was a good person unlike him who always causes harm to those around him.

Lincoln: Maybe you're right, Felipe, maybe you're right...well, let's forget this and tell me more about yourself.

Lincoln avoided the topic of his family by questioning Felipe, starting a conversation about Felipe's life and family, trying to stop him from questioning him too much about his family, although deep down he couldn't get his family and what he said out of his head. Felipe about how they would always be there to help each other
