Gaetano is not the only meeting in the afternoon. About six o'clock comes a new host to our first track, where they now spend my days with my three Virgili, Caramel, Gigi and Giancarlo. It 's a boy of Pescara. Marco. It just got off the train, still breathing heavily. It is not for the race, the easier for the stuff that pulled tonight to celebrate his return to freedom. Marco has escaped this morning from a community drug rehabilitation. He speaks with big gestures of the hand, is agitated and nervous, sometimes loses his eyes staring at a distant horizon, then began shaking his head his eyes from side to side, scratching. "Oh was his first one. I had never robbed anyone before. Within the store, a grocery, c'avevo a knife, then I start to cry in movies such as 'It is a robbery' and then point the knife to the throat of an old and yell 'Stop or kill all the old', and with a nod of the head I understand that I must be committed to the 'entire collection of the day. I mean you do not then imagines 'adrenaline, before entering' me was to make the bottom, you say, was the first time, but it was too strong . "As we speak, thinking about the old lady's face hollowed by fear, a recounts the thrill, he raises his voice and shaking hands even faster. It lasted just a joke though. " leaving the shop already a patrol of police waiting for me, someone has called ." Then came the trial and punishment. Giel The judge has made to serve a sentence alternative to foster care in a community of recovery. " But as a community, the prison was better! There at least there are all those rules! . "It's about community as a military camp, strict rules and humiliating checks exasperated and how boys and girls are able to live there for months and years.
"Three times I've got tried to escape."
He always went wrong.
" The community is very isolated, so before you get to a major highway, hitch a ride where you take back to their SUVs with dogs .
order and discipline.
"Oh the end I decided to try sea. So yesterday morning I know 'started running toward the river towards the sea and we know pulled me to the beach. Then I continued to run along the beach, like a madman until I came to the city closer, ie, do not you say, just soaked .
There he took a train that slammed Rome like a wave on the sand. Intercity Wait, go back to Pescara from friends to celebrate New Year. I ask him if he knows home that was expecting the police to bring it back in, it is safe, and in prison, this time not in the community.
" Yes, it should be '. But maybe I do accommodate a friend, so while the pace of the last party with my girl, you know how we bust this year .
All this odyssey for the last year?
" Oh, sure . Oh but you do not know that it means the community, that is, do not you just wish. And then I want to ask al mio avvocato se mi può interdire, così mi tolgono la pena ".
Non solo, aggiungo io, ti tolgono la capacità di intendere e volere, con tutto quello che vuol dire. " Va be' che m'importa, a me basta di non tornare là dentro, il resto si vedrà, tanto… "
Tanto… pare che il tempo sia sospeso per alcune persone, domani è troppo lontano, e lontano sono gli altri e se stessi.
" Tanto… tanto peggio di così non può andare. Tanto… un'alternativa non c'è, tu la vedi? Io no. Io vedo solo il mio male, lo sento, se solo ti raccontassi la metà dei miei problemi... E te mi vuoi giudicare se io non ci voglio pensare, ma che ne you know of life? .
Marco disappeared from circulation shortly after he became acquainted with the guys at the station, briefly dismissed as "toxic " from my fellow travelers. Gainers on the Eurostar to stop at Termini station, usually in pairs: it creates the diversion, passengers the help, and his accomplice took advantage of the distraction to pull out a book or take away a bag. They have a few seconds to act, the trains do not stay more than three or four minutes, and often take to the race by forcing the doors semi-automatic when the train begins to move already, screaming furiously against capomacchina with four five suitcases in tow. With the theft can be bought drugs, alcohol and drugs. Marco must essere andato con loro, per perdersi un po'.
