That’s what Fred, my best friend, workmate and flatmate, said that day. But why?
It is wonderful to know people so sensitive as Fred or my uncle Vernon… In 2001 my uncle Vernon was in the top of the wave: he fell in love with a famous and beautiful soap opera’s actress, he got married and, in August, they got here, NY and they took a long honeymoon. I remember they invited us to dinner and it was funny.. Vernon and his wife were fascinated with each other.
However they decided to go back a day before the plans because he wasn’t quite that September 10.
While enjoying a perfect Paradise, with his new wife, having the greatest time in his whole life, he started to feel something inside, a negative felling enough to tell his wife about it:
-We should come back today, honey…
-We definitely can’t! What’s supposed to do with CATS tickets for tonight?
-I know we’ll come back one day. But I’m not feeling well. Suddenly I feel I’m missing all what is mine: my home, my family, the LA`s sun… I´m sorry, but I’m terribly sad…
And crying as predicting a disaster both decided to fly on September 10, and no 11.
That’s what my mum said about the thing… but actually THEY ARE A LEGEND. Vernon phoned mum that September 10 and told her his intentions… But nobody saw them again. Just a pair of calls per year… He’s always saying he’s ok, flying around the world and promising they will come back one day…
Fred wasn’t sad that September 11. He’s a very charismatic person. He loves his work and he is one of the best at the office. But sometimes he appears with a mad idea; like once, on his birthday he decided to go to work dressing a different colour for each clothes he was wearing: red, yellow, brown, black, white, gold… and he told every person he saw, showing a money box: “Hi!!! Today it`s my birthday. Would you help for my present? Wouldn’t you?”
… He’s a clown… Most people at office appreciate him so much.
That September 11 we were in a very important meeting in the Presidential office room with the most heads of the group. That was the moment to take important decisions for future businesses.
It was then when Fred contacted my eyes and told me everything without to say a word, as usual. He feigned a horrible headache and I offered myself to help him. Once he and I alone, he told me he was needing to breath of clean air and run away from that place in that moment. He worried me a lot but I trust blindly him, so I didn’t say anything about the consequences of leaving the meeting.
We waited the elevator for four minutes and it didn’t come.. He took my hand and started to get down the stairs. It was the twenty second floor. What we care? In some way it was funny too.
And then, IT HAPPENED. The noise like 20 thunders together make us fell down over stairs. People running, crying and shrieking everywhere… confusion and horror in all those faces… I’ll never forget that. Suddenly Fred and I were slaves of panic when a wall fell in our legs. Nobody helped us. I don’t know where from, but we got the power and suddenly we were running again. Then we continued our way desperately. A few minutes later we were on the street, watching the second hell’s show.
It was not easy to overcome that. I think we will never do it completely.
Thankfully THE TWINS were rebuilt a few months later. The new office is modern and we assist as usual. But nothing has the same soul… there’s a panic and death smell.
Sometimes I try to remember the connection of the episodes but I can’t see more than a black screen. Fred does not help and he’s worrying me: last week he looked at my eyes and told me seriously:
“I saw your uncle Vernon at the office last week. They were afraid. I don’t know why”.
