RAMBO, THE TRUE STORY (64º)

                 Fragment of the
           prequel of
           Rambo, told by
           her that, who
           became his
           wife, who knew
           him, when
           both were
           seven year




                                                 (Page 42)


       ... Robie looks at Rambo knowing that is a lie, and thanks
           him with her eyes.
           At last, they get to the mountain. Robie is taken to the
           infirmary immediately, but there, they have nothing to
           add to Cora's excellent job.
           Robie goes to see Jack, still hospitalised with a more
           serious wound closed to the heart.
           "May I?" asks Robie.
           "Lady..." and he tries to sit down.
           "Rambo says I must apologise to you...", says Robie.
           "Oh, no...", says Jack.
           "Instead, I'm sure. Could forgive me, Jack? It was my
           fault and you are almost killed. Do you see? I always 
          have to do something bad. You should abandon me on
          an island".
          Robie gets closer and kisses him.
          "Thanks, Jack, for taking so much care of him".
          And touching her belly, she adds, "this baby is lucky, he
         will have the best godparents of the world: you and Cora".
         And she goes out, leaving him again as if he was going to
         say something, as Rambo has left him.

       ... Another week later, Jack is almost recovered and
           protesting all day because he is obliged to be in a
          humiliating wheelchair. He, the second man in    
          charge, who was in more wars than...
          "Oh, God! Jack! Can you shut up once and for all?
         You are worse than women crying! Did you find out
         I asked you?", says Rambo.
         "Yes, boss. Everything is all right in Argentina.
         Satellite photographs have arrived. It seems there
         was a wonderful wedding in the ranch".   
         "¿Really? And who got married?", asks Rambo.
         "She".
         Jack is holding a brown envelope that gives to Rambo
         eithout much enthusiasm.
         "¿She? Only four months and she has already got
         married?"
        Jack shrugs his shoulders.
        "Well, after all, she is a Robinson's widower. I'm happy.
        Of course, what worried me was that she wouldn't recover".
        While Rambo speacks, he is taking out photographs.
        "You know, she was left in this state. She was so bad that...
        No! Oh my God! Did she marry him? My ranch belongs
        now to Abelardo?" His voice is more high-pitched as time
        goes by, "Oh, my God! But he doesn't even know how to
        prepare and serve mate! Oh! My God! Jack!"
        But the only thing that can be seen from Jack is the back
        part of his wheelchair.
