Episode 5: McKenzie Sub-Plot

Miguel radioed ahead informing the Coastguard and the Guardia Civil of his surprise catch. Before he reached the beautiful La Carihuela beach, he could see that is was packed with emergency service vehicles and, of course, the press. Miguel ordered his small crew to unload the fish while the net, with the horrific human remains still entangled, was removed on a temporary winch set up on the sand. It was deposited into a screened of no-go area. Camera flash guns popped and the TV cameras rolled capturing every detail of the latest scoop. The press scrum pushed microphones with their network logos attached into Miguel’s leathery face. He had seen many things during his sixty-eight years of life but this took the biscuit. He was deeply affected by his grim catch. They asked him all kinds of questions…. “Where exactly were you fishing?” “How long were you there?” “How old is your boat?” “What beer do you drink?” Miguel, as he was advised by the police, declined to comment on anything. The remains were officially photographed and catalogued then, with blue lights flashing and sirens wailing, they were rushed over to the mortuary where a detailed post mortem would take place. The media teams followed the ambulance in hot pursuit, each one looking for their own unique slant on this headline story. Miguel was released after hours of questioning and told to stay local. At home, clearly shaken and shocked by his ordeal, he turned on his TV and there he was, on prime time national news, overseeing the removal of the remains from his boat and all the time saying, “No comment….”. Don Pedro was in a furious rage as he sat, incredulous, in front of his huge plasma screen on board La Dama de la Noche. He had a few questions of his own to ask his buffoons and they better have good answers….. Matthew 26: 52……“Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him, “for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.” To read more about this bible passage, follow this link: http://www.getthegist.net
