Chapter 5.

Tragedy in the supermarket.

While they were both holding hands leaving the office, Gabriel's boss called him telling him to get to the Falda Azul supermarket as soon as possible because a tragedy had occurred: Gabriel looked at his wife and asked her if she didn't mind accompanying him, she denied and accompanied him, both getting into the car...

He drove to the Falda Azul supermarket and when he got there he found that everything was closed, in fact, he was surrounded by officers.

 The supermarket owner said he didn't know when it had happened, but Gabriel didn't understand what had happened either, so Officer Jake, his boss, seeing him, told him to come over and go in with him...

Graciela stayed in the car while Gabriel followed his boss, and then they showed him the scene of horror that had disturbed all the people who were doing their night shopping, because a one-month-old baby had been found inside the supermarket's bakery oven, which is not only heavy, but the only way to open it is from the outside, and the door was heavy enough for someone to open it easily, and that wasn't all that had happened, because in the baby section there was a crib on display for sale in which they had left a raw turkey wrapped up as if it were a baby, which made the turkey's blood stain the crib sheets and give it that creepy and perverse appearance as it was, but nobody understood why they hadn't heard the baby's screams while it was cooking because there were at least five people in the market at the time of the events: three cashiers and two customers…

The oven was completely boiling in steam, so it could not be denied that it was at I saw what had happened in the last hour and a half, which was exactly what a rabbit weighing at least three kilos needed to cook, which was, in comparison, what a one-month-old baby could weigh…

The comparison was identical, but the cameras were all looking at the ceiling as if someone had deliberately turned them upwards, the only thing that could be seen was the ceiling and the lamps, which showed how little interest the owner had in this business; Or maybe he was so saturated with work that watching and monitoring the cameras was not a primary part of the week but of the weekends…

Likewise, someone had been tampering with these cameras for two days and had kept this baby alive for the last two days, probably having stolen it from some house, some park, some daycare center, or maybe having stolen it from some hospital, so that the child who was being baked did not even have a diaper on…

And so, it was strange that no one had seen someone come in with a baby in their arms, but the strangest thing was not that they had not seen them come in, but that they had not heard the ovens being turned on, since these make a loud sound when they turn on and the door resounds when it closes, and if you add to that the screams that the creature may have made when being cooked alive, it indicated that the five people inside were not paying attention at all to what was happening, or they had downplayed it or perhaps the music in their ears was pleasant enough to evade what was really going on.
