Monday unfolded warm and rainless. Aurelio Escovar, a dental specialist

without a degree, and a go-getter, opened his office at six.

He took some bogus teeth, still mounted in their mortar form,

out of the glass case and put on the table a fistful of instruments which he

organized in size request, as though they were in plain view. He wore a collarless striped

shirt, shut at the neck with a brilliant stud, and jeans held up by suspend-

ers He was erect and thin, with a look that once in a while compared to the

circumstance, the manner in which hard of hearing individuals have of looking.

When he had things organized on the table, he pulled the drill toward the

dental seat and plunked down to clean the bogus teeth. He appeared not to be

considering what he was doing, yet worked relentlessly, siphoning the drill

with his feet, notwithstanding when he didn't require it.

After eight he halted for some time to take a gander at the sky through the window,

what's more, he saw two meditative scavangers who were drying themselves in the sun on

the ridgepole of the house nearby. He continued working with the thought

that before lunch it would rain once more. The deafening voice of his eleven-year-old

child interfered with his fixation.

"Daddy."

"What?"

"The Mayor needs to know whether you'll pull his tooth."

"Reveal to him I'm not here."

He was cleaning a gold tooth. He held it at a careful distance, and inspected it

with his eyes half shut. His child yelled again from the small pausing

room.

"He says you are, as well, since he can hear you."

The dental specialist continued analyzing the tooth. Just when he had put it on the

table with the completed work did he say:

"That would be preferable."

He worked the drill once more. He took a few bits of a scaffold out of a

cardboard box where he kept the things regardless he needed to do and started to pol-

ish the gold.

"Daddy."

"What?"

Regardless he hadn't changed his appearance.

"He says on the off chance that you don't take out his tooth, he'll shoot you."

Without hustling, with a very quiet development, he halted

accelerating the drill, pushed it away from the seat, and pulled the lower

cabinet of the table such a distance out. There was a gun. "O.K.," he said.

"Guide him to come and shoot me."

He rolled the seat over inverse the entryway, his hand laying on the edge of

the cabinet. The Mayor showed up at the entryway. He had shaved the left half of

his face, however the opposite side, swollen and in torment, had a five-day-old facial hair.

The dental specialist saw numerous evenings of distress in his dull eyes. He shut the

cabinet with his fingertips and said delicately:

"Plunk down."

"Hello," said the Mayor.

"Morning," said the dental specialist.

While the instruments were heating up, the Mayor inclined his skull on the

headrest of the seat and felt much improved. His breath was frosty. It was a poor office:

an old wooden seat, the pedal drill, a glass case with clay bottles. Operation

posite the seat was a window with a shoulder-high fabric blind. When he

felt the dental specialist approach, the Mayor supported his heels and opened his mouth.

Aurelio Escovar turned his head toward the light. Subsequent to reviewing the in-

fected tooth, he shut the Mayor's jaw with a careful weight of his blade

gers.

"It must be without anesthesia," he said.

"Why?"

"Since you have a sore."

The Mayor looked at him without flinching. "OK," he stated, and attempted to grin.

The dental specialist didn't restore the grin. He got the bowl of sanitized

struments to the worktable and removed them from the water with a couple of

cold tweezers, still without hustling. At that point he drove the spittoon with the

tip of his shoe, and went to wash his hands in the washbasin. He did this

without taking a gander at the Mayor. Be that as it may, the Mayor didn't take his eyes off him.

It was a lower insight tooth. The dental specialist spread his feet and got a handle on the

tooth with the hot forceps. The Mayor held onto the arms of the seat, propped

his feet energetically, and felt a cold void in his kidneys, yet didn't

make a sound. The dental specialist moved just his wrist. Without enmity, rather

with a harsh delicacy, he stated:

"Presently you'll pay for our twenty dead men."

The Mayor felt the mash of bones in his jaw, and his eyes loaded up with

tears. In any case, he didn't inhale until he felt the tooth turn out. At that point he saw it

through his tears. It appeared to be so unfamiliar to his torment that he neglected to under-

stand his torment of the five earlier evenings.

Twisted around the spittoon, perspiring, gasping, he unfastened his tunic and

gone after the hanky in his jeans pocket. The dental specialist gave him a

clean material.

"Dry your tears," he said.

The Mayor did. He was trembling. While the dental specialist washed his hands,

he saw the disintegrating roof and a dusty bug catching network with bug's eggs and

dead creepy crawlies. The dental specialist returned, drying his hands. "Head to sleep," he stated,

"what's more, rinse with salt water." The Mayor stood up, bid farewell with a cas-

ual military salute, and strolled toward the entryway, extending his legs, without

fastening his tunic.

"Send the bill," he said.

"To you or the town?"

The Mayor didn't take a gander at him. He shut the entryway and said through the

screen:

"It's a similar damn thing."
