chapter 5 (men return to talk)
<< chapter 4
When Zed came back inside the walls he understood immediately what he had to do.
The next day was Monday, and in the beginning of the week the director
of the quarry always used to come to inspect the work, accompanied by her personal assistant.
On arrival, she came out from the luxurious car. Zed came to her and greeted her
with a smile and an intense and communicative gaze. The director wasn't accustomed
to being watched like that by a man and she took a step backwards.
Zed advanced and with one hand pulled the clip so that her hairs fell behind her shoulders.
The men, up to that point sleepy as always, woke up and looked curiously,
probably they had never seen a woman with her hair loose. Zed said:
"you should not feel forced to smile, you are beautiful the same" -
then a spontaneous laugh from the assistant that clumsily capped her mouth.
The woman came back in the car so scared forgetting to do her patrol,
and disappeared raising dust. That afternoon in the yard the men whispered
between each other (such a thing was never happened before).
In the evening they returned to their homes, loosened the hair of their wives
and then they made love.
