The darkness of the alley did not help. It was only when William came close to his car, in the yellow light of a pole, which Jonathan realized who was. His vision was blurred by the tears that descended hot on his dirty face, his heart about to explode. The mouth dried by the nervousness, the nose kept sniffing, barely felt his legs, his arms no longer obeyed and his hands trembled, unable to hold the bandage, which rolled on the floor.

“You … Okay …” he babbled on a voice, “alive.”
