Joaquin Murrieta, the guided soul, was currently located inside of Estrella de Oro bus. He was on his way back to Tecpan after 6 frustrating and agonizing years of military service. He didn't give a crap about being discharged the way he was. After all, he just wanted to get back to his family. To his caring wife Macy and his cherubic little Anna, both of which he had not seen for 6 whole years. For Anna, that meant never really getting to know her father. The bus took its sweet time getting to Tecpan. When he finally reached the bus station (which was only about 25 meters away to the right from Ashton's taxi spot) he was greeted by no one. No one but an adorable little girl in a silly pink dress with many roses printed on it. Joaquin quickly knew who that girl was, after all, she had his eyes. Joaquin approached the girl and the girl approached him. "Anna. I've missed more than you could ever know". The little girl kept the same normal expression she had on before but after about 2 seconds her cute little eyes opened wide and so did he rosy smile. "Are you my dad? Are you! You are!", she said. Joaquin let out a tear of joy and picked the girl up. "Indeed I am," he said. Anna hugged her father. "Mommy told me your name is Joaquin. It sounds silly!" she said with glee. Joaquin was intrigued "Is that so?", he replied. "Well Anna, if it sounds, you're free to call me something else", he replied. "I want to call you Chet! I heard it on TV and I thought it was cute!" she replied. "Just Chet? It's a little short don't you think?", he replied in a mocking tone. "Mr. Chet! Is that better?", Anna asked, worried that her father might not like it. Joaquin saw her eyes slowly starting to water and her smile slowly start to shake like a tremor. "I think it's perfect", he replied.
