ACT 1

There is a radio curtain of teletypes, the sound of ambulances, and other features of the news broadcast
by the radio. The scene is dark. While the texts are being said in voice-over, slides are projected.

Narrator (voice-over): Attention, attention. We have informed that the body of a student of the Pedro
Nufio Mixed Normal School, named Riccy Mabel Martínez Sevilla, was found between the Cerro Grande
neighborhood and the El Chile neighborhood, in Comayagüela. Riccy Mabel was a final year teacher
student.

It is presumed that the girl was raped before being thrown into a five-meter-deep ravine. Riccy Mabel
has been missing since Saturday, when he went to visit a friend recruited from the First Communications
Battalion.

A man anonymously called 199, the police's emergency number, to report that the young woman's body
was found in the aforementioned place. Fifteen minutes later, the same individual called the director of
the Pedro Nufio Normal School to tell him the same thing as the police.

The scene is illuminated and the Office of the Director of the Pedro Nufio Mixed Normal School appears.
The secretary types. Enter the director.

Director: Good morning, Catalina.

Secretary: Good morning, Director. How did you spend on Sunday??

Director: It was the same, Catalina, the same as always. Staying home with my family. It's just that in this
city there are very few amusements that can be had.

Secretary: And why don't you go for a walk, have a few drinks with your friends?

Director: But imagine... Every Sunday it's the same... It would be very boring, wouldn't it?

Secretary: Then go to the movies or watch TV.

Director: There is only sex and violence, Catalina, violence and sex. The serious thing is that all the good
things we try to teach in a week in ten minutes of bad television are ruined for us... It seems that civic
values don't matter to anyone.

Secretary: You're right

Principal: Catalina, do me a favor, please read me the list of students who will do the teaching practice.

Secretary: Oscar Arturo Gálvez Flores, Amanda Karina Gonzales Ayala, Wendy Maritza Cruz Morales,
Riccy Mabel Martínez Sevilla, Suyapa Guadalupe Martínez Padilla and Andrea Daniela Gutiérrez Herrera.

(The phone rings. Anonymous call).

Director: Well, say?

Anonymous (voice-over): With the principal of the school?

Director: Yes, with speech.

Anonymous (voice-over): I have something to say to you. A student at her school was in an accident.

Director: C-How do you say?

Anonymous (voice-over): Actually, it looks like she's dead. I saw when it happened.

Director: Hey, who's talking?! What happened?!

Anonymous (voice-over): Let me finish... I had gotten off the bus in which I was coming to Tegucigalpa,
there in Cerro Grande, when I saw a car coming down the hill, then I saw a girl running and screaming
out of the car and behind her the driver who got out to chase her... Since it was dark, she didn't notice
that there was a ravine and fell. I was seeing everything hidden in some bushes... Then the man went
down to the ravine as if to finish it off, then he went out on his own, so I took out my pistol and fired a
few shots, the guy got scared and ran to the car, got in and ran away, it was a red car.

Director: How did you see all that? And at what time? How do I know what you're telling me isn't a joke?

Anonymous (voice-over): It was about 8:30 p.m. on Saturday night... I tell her that it's true because after
the car left, I went down to the ravine and the girl was already dead, so I found a card that she was riding
and it was from that school, her name is Riccy Mabel Martínez Sevilla, that's what it says here, third
grade.

Director: But hey, who's talking?!

Anonymous (voice-over): My name doesn't matter; I was just talking to make them notice. The police
are already on the scene, I'll let them know. (hangs up).

Director: Hello, hello. (hangs up).

Secretary: But Mr. Director, what happened?!

Principal: It's one of our students, it looks like she had an accident! Come on, come with me! (exit).

The scene is once again dark. While the following texts are spoken in voice-over, photographs related to
the crime are presented.

Announcer (voice-over): Serious interiorities surround the murder of the student, which would have
been committed on the 14th and not Saturday the 13th as has been reported. It is striking that in this
case the victim has been expunged, which is unusual in criminal records.

Experts who recognized the corpse discovered that the mortal remains were devoid of all viscera. Part of
the inside of her legs, her right breast and buttocks were detached and her vulva was totally destroyed.)
Some believe that all this may have been caused by the action of birds of prey. But no one in the vicinity
or the experts and reporters observed any such species, nor were there any signs of pecking on the skin
next to the areas occupied by the viscera. Rather, the twists of the skin look as if they have been cut
lengthwise by sharp instruments... The cuts are thick and clean, it was not noticeable that they could
have been extracted by the action of animals. It is as if her body parts and sexual organs have been
removed and detached on purpose, perhaps to hide the traces of a mass rape.

It is true that, according to the examination carried out by the coroner, the amount of semen found in
Riccy's underwear exceeds four times the normal volume of ejaculation of an adult man, so it could be
assumed that there were several rapists. However, this fact is doubtful because there are indications that
show that the "blomer" was later placed with that amount of semen in order to confuse the
investigations and make believe that there were several rapists.

What happened between the time Riccy was seen by the padel racket and the time of her death?

What are the circumstances surrounding the death of the student?

ACT 2

The scene is illuminated. You see the set of the school classroom and Wendy appears, reviews some
drawing sheets, sees them and destroys them. Enter Suyapa.

Suyapa: Hello Wendy!

Wendy: Hello Suyapa!

Suyapa: How are you?

Wendy: Here surviving. Hey, did you do the drawings?

Suyapa: Yes, but they were VERY UGLY... scope. (shows them).

Wendy: Oh, and that's what you're worried about? You haven't seen mine, here they are, look.

Suyapa: (laughs). That job of yours is uglier than drinking milk and being lactose intolerant.

Wendy: Well... I'm not Ruben to make them so good either.

Suyapa: Yes, hey, how they grabbed the poor man. It's ugly to be a recruit.

Wendy: Suyapa, next Sunday we can go visit you!

Suyapa: Where do you have it?

Wendy: Back in the first communications battalion in Las Tapias.

(Riccy Mabel enters singing and the others applaud her.)

Riccy: Girls, do you see what you're like, why didn't you wait for me?

Suyapa: Oh Riccy, you're as fresh as lettuce.

Riccy: It's just that I'm staying rehearsing the songs and the roles that I'm going to play in the theatrical
scenes, and you've already rehearsed?
Wendy: We're ready, aren't we, Suyapa?

Riccy: They would have expected me with much more reason, you know I don't like to walk alone in the
street. Men are so foolish that they keep talking nonsense.

Wendy: You're going to tell me that you don't like to have compliments thrown at you on the street.

Riccy: Of course you do, but when the things they say to you are so beautiful that the words seem like
flowers, but not the vulgarities and obscenities that many people are used to saying in these times... And
not only that, but there are some who approach you to give you a compliment and then, um, it's just to
rob you.

Suyapa: That's true, notice that yesterday my aunt was leaving the beauty salon super beautiful, when at
that moment, a very well-dressed young man approached her and very affectionate, hugged her... My
aunt, thinking he was a friend she no longer remembered, smiled at him... Then the young man leaned
into his ear, and do you know what he said?

Riccy and Suyapa: What did he say?

Suyapa: Look, you fool! You give me your wallet, your watch, and everything else in your wallet... and
beware of shouting; how the guy looked so elegant that the people who passed by thought they were
giving each other a kiss from those passionate ones; but whatever, if he had put a dagger this big
underneath (he shows it). If they had seen my poor aunt, she came to the thing in tears that I told you.

Riccy: Poor aunt... Do you realize? That's why I don't like to walk alone in the street, how safe we felt
when Rubén accompanied us.

Wendy: Before you got there, we were talking about him... On Sunday we'll go and see him... Will you
come with us?

Riccy: Sure, and we'll have to come up with a good lip to see how we get our star cartoonist out of the
battalion.

The rest of the schoolgirls arrive on stage, shouting and making a fuss.
