Capitán Bermúdez is a mess. It's easy to create panic in a group small town in Argentina with lies and inventions. That politicians know it well. But this time the fear came from something real, tangible and demonic.
Few had believed our story of moving beyond repair mutants to him. Most drunk in seedy bars. In the sober, none endorsed the idea of \u200b\u200bforming a civilian army to stop the invasion.
The joke in a few hours became mass panic. I do not know certainly, but doable, someone with greater credibility to our family and mutants affected areas, have failed to confirm the story. Word of mouth is faster than wildfire. If a rumor can circle the world in 80 days, this might do to the speed of light.
crazy people fled with what little they could carry. The plight and condition of sale had to commit gross negligence. The collisions and collisions were happening one after another. The streets were turned into a scene Dante. People running, fighting, trampling, moaning. Lost children crying for their mother. Where a wounded scattered lesions looked horrible and obscene I will never forget.

We looked with Carlos in a vain attempt to understand the exposure of Armando.
_Escuchen. When a plague ravaging an area, never stands still. Nor conquest ravaging the land. You should move to continue feeding. This plague of mutant moves based on the need to devour every living thing. Therefore, and if I mistake not, are moving concentrically to the first outbreak of appearance.

4 160 km per hour. Carlitos was beating a record. None of the occupants of the car wield something about it. We had to go as fast possible to the abbey. The difference of arriving before the mutants was perhaps a few hours or minutes.
Amid Rosario-Victoria Bridge, a few kilometers from the destination, passing in the opposite direction saw several cars with frantic people. We made signs for us to give back. Probably were among the few survivors of peoples and cities were being devastated. The mutants were close.
Already in Entre Rios and almost at the abbey, which is a few meters from the head of the bridge, Carlitos grumbled.
Gualeguay _This are broken some ass!
had spotted a sign promoting the carnival Gualeguay. Among Gualeguaychú Gualeguay and dislike for the carnival there, and used Gualeguay the impact of our similarity in the names of cities to capture unsuspecting tourists.
5 Abbey of the Holy Child was founded on August 30, 1899 by Abbey Belloc, France, and is the first Benedictine monastery in Latin America.
Like all Benedictine monastery, the Abbey of the Holy Child is governed by an abbot, meaning father. The abbot is elected by the entire community and its main task is to work for the spiritual welfare of the monks and attend to the administration of property of the monastery.
The Abbot himself greeted us on arrival. It was an old friend of my father. Carrying a machine gun in his right hand and neck strip whose bullet reloading color combined perfectly with the cross-medal of St. Benedict.
_Sean Pcs. welcome. The Benedictine monks opened our home to all who sincerely seek God can truly meet with him and with himself.
sounded very strange coming from a monk with a machine gun in hand, which in turn was flanked by two others, armed with grenades and a machete, and bazooka the other.

_Ya come. Come subjects of Beelzebub! Shouted the watchman stationed in the belfry.
They did not 15 minutes of our arrival. The driving speed of Carlitos had been decisive.
The 20 monks who live there, they met at the entrance to the Church. Some came from the library. Had interrupted their lectio divina. Others left the development of products for which the abbey is better known, among them the famous Monastic Liquor Dulce.
Surrounded by all, the abbot spoke.
_Debemos Prepare to fight to the end! The devil can not conquer and reign in the land of the Lord. We must defeat the creatures of Satan! For San Benito!
_Por San Benito and God !!!!!!! -harangued the other monks.
_Hasta death! -Increasing the bet Abbot.
_Hasta death and resurrection glory !!!!!!! "replied the monks and Carlitos, who was already excited.
Once inside the church with the doors locked with a thick wood, we assume the defensive. We were provided powerful weapons, but should only use them if you mutants penetrated the church. Carlitos had the look of a child in Epiphany, as in fate, had played a shortened barrel shotgun.
Several monks were strategically stationed on the roof and bell tower, and that being the church at the peak of a hill, gave an overview that would delight any sniper.

She soon heard the first crash. After a rain shots. Silence. Machine-gun burst. Screams. Explosions. At that time, that the perception of time which stretches gum and I'm lying full length behind a row of seats of prayer, I found a quiet moment to contemplate the beauty of the church.
The style is neo-Romanesque church. The altar is represented in bas-relief of the Last Supper of Christ with his apostles. The light enters this morning and had everything from a soothing yellow. That was what I was really drowsy or my physical decline?

Rabito licked my face.

_Pásame the bazooka brother.
We were detained at the closure of the road. Of an accurate shot, the Abbot destroyed part of one of the sectors Rosario-Victoria Bridge.

_Que good shot. Good thinking, now the mutants can not happen! _No

Armando came with the face of doom while the abbot is away. When crossed, this will put a hand on the shoulder as a sign of support.
_Papá. You have to say? _It

The febrile state allowed to take the impact of what is heard, but it must be true. My left leg has beautiful purple now unhealthy and the usual smell of Swiss cheese has been changed to blue Roquefort.
