THE NOSTLGIA

The smog was almost on the floor. It was a very pleasant summer morning. The atmosphere was yellow, full of suffocating fog and a temperature of almost thirty-five degrees. Goetz launched his windbreaker on his desk chair and began to massage the shoulder and neck, just where it touched the leather belt of his holster. Through the window of his office, managed to visualize the main avenues in the city center, covered with palm trees and lush trees that adorned the entire width. A wide variety of cars
They made daily by these major traffic arteries that gave the impression of being a river of bright colors. He shrugged his great back, hands together and stretch entrelazadamente like a leopard in a sign of the commencement of work.
- What about my partner? - He asked his secretary.It was almost ten o'clock and his partner had not been submitted. It was supposed to return the day of your vacation.- Maybe it will be in college. He must be giving his lecture on Nazi Germany. Today is Tuesday, and almost always come here at eleven said, fanning her face with a folder Vacuum. He must be talking about the concentration camps ...Goetz frowned and loosened the straps on the holster.-Speaking of such things, especially Auschwitz or Hitler and Himmler, is very unpleasant, he said emphatically.'I thought you two shared the same ideas, sir.Goetz only looked at her askance.- Yes?On the gray carpet were thrown folders, cards, tapes recorders, CDs and many folders.-I wonder what it came for the office here.-I think it has to be something very important, 'said the secretary. So I did not move anything until you arrive.She was a classic set Teutonic young, blonde, very pretty, slender, with freckles on her face. That day brought her straight hair, I had not curled as usual.Goetz sniffed the office.She smells very strange ...- What's that smell? - She said surprised.- A burned. There are a number of ash furniture. Detective Goetz unbutton the top button of his shirt and said:-Let's gather all this and try to find out who made this mess.-You know something, Mr. Goetz said the young man kneeling beside her. - I think the detective Erwin, was working with a group of young college something about German identity. And apparently, was related to gang he called right-wing ...Did you mean racist-injured ...The phone rang and the secretary got up to responer.-Goetz and Erwin, detectives said. - Now what happened.I immediately handed the phone to his boss.Lieutenant-Hess speaks for the police of Sylt.- Yes? - Said Goetz-We just found your partner ...The phone was moistened with the sweat from the hand of Goetz- How? - Asked, swallowing hard. Where?Gnome, it seems she fired two shots with a 38 caliber psitola - He paused. It was in a placenear the beach called Or.- Or What?A division of luxury beach being built for families of former war veterans. It is not over and no one lives here. A construction worker found the body a couple of hours, lying on a tennis court.- Damn - Goetz exclaimed, making a final signal with his hand to his secretary.- Do you know that you were working? - Lt. Hess questioned it.'Nothing in particular. I was off, he took his vacation and returned today was supposed to work. I think today was a class in college.The secretary burst into tears.'I think Erwin is serious, right?Undead corrected him Goetz, covering the handset to not be heard. - Do you need me for something, Lieutenant Hess?-Should be to come and see me today, at any time, 'he said. - Is there anything you can tell me now? ¿About psoibles enemies, his business or something?'Only that Erwin had a very clean life, he said Goetz. - Let me think anyway, I'll think about it. I'll tell you when we meet.- You know where to find me, detective. Until then ...Goetz hung up and dried his palms on his pants.-Pity, he said.He went to sit swivel armchair Erwin.- Why not told that his partner was related to these youngsters from street gangs and now we have the office all in disorder and revolt?- Did not mean to-Goetz replied inmediato.-do not trust the police. I come from the East German and the post-war Germany have forced us to suppress all for the sake of social development, not a mercantilsmo exhacerbado where jente only feel safe if excel in business. You are dominated by figures. They've become very efficient and methodical and both Germanys have left us with no heart. We are a unit discouraged.He returned to his feet and placed the straps of her leather holster.'Perhaps something important decubriò suggested the young secretary, wiping her eyes.-I doubt it, said Goetz. - Erwin used to have most of their time, a fondness for their academic activities. It was very distracted. The police work was not very attractive.But it was his partner.Yes, and that does not mean it was a good detective. There were many things I did not realize. In a few months more give up our association.The secretary returned to wipe his eyes with his handkerchief, still crying.- It hurts me so much that they killed. On occasion a detective Erwin told me that many of the street protests, people were treated who had wounds in his soul, a product of repression and exclusion and that they felt marginalized in society. I related all the post war.- It is possible, 'said the big guy detective, as he pulled his jacket. But this is a new era for Germany. Not only must we worry about money matters, of course, is central, but also, we focus on everything that arises where there is no business-related interests, the physics or mathematics.- How? Will relationship is theft in the office with what happened to Detective Erwin?I do not know. But if their classes and comments to the young militants led him to discrepancies with them and here we discover the missing documents related to the university, there may be some connection.- Do you want to close the office?- Why?I suppose that we mourn, right? At least today ...'Not at Goetz replied reluctantly. We will not allow the wounds of those young people who call themselves neo-Nazis, vulgar, nasty and aggressive, we amedrenten and plunge us into their crisis. We are going to lead to its breaking point. In addition, Erwin had no family. That means we have to take care of your funeral. We can not afford to lose a day's work, there could be a client and we need money.'I think that you are not human unsentimental and hastily said the secretary very angry.-No, if I am alteradamente Goetz replied. - The East Germans in the provinces we now no longer exist and now live in caves called buildings. And unify us, we are behaving like uncivilized, denatured, not respecting the ethnic plurality. No one wants to sing folk songs. It is music which they call "Oi" concerts that can not be announced. No one appreciates Wagner. We lost our myths, our fairy tales. We live in cities with air, water and contaminated land. We are indifferent. Alien to our cultural heritage. We are very disturbed nerves. We are a post-modern neurotic animals. We seem branches bent under so severely that when released, hit the detective angrily puffed at max, and many are nostalgic for Hitler. Young people know nothing and the media are going crazy pandering to other countries. These are my wounds and I have to continue living as disguised, suppressed, lost my heart in german, like Herder, I believe that everything is empty you honestly need to belong to a group, otherwise we will continue to feel apart, lonely, Discounted and unhappy-Goetz closed the office door on the outside, leaving the street covered in sweat and on the verge of tears.The secretary was dumbfounded. He went to the window. The raging heat in Sylt. The afternoon was warm and the sky was overcast. The streets were crowded with cars. A light sea breeze enveloped the environment.'I think actually my boss, is very sentimental. I think it is a bad person at all. The past hurts of course take their toll, I wish one day the Germans give step by step to a universal language that allows us to convey our emotional nuances for today's world knows our inner lives.The secretary left the office, heading to the street, trying to wade through hundreds of protesters who tore a protest march to demand the government pay raises ...
