Double Identity

It was the month of December, in a harsh winter the harshest in a long time in apartment number 7 of a seedy condominium, a young woman was in labor, alone abandoned by her family, despised for being a single mother Without studies, work or money, he struggled to give life to his first-born, she knew that she would die in the attempt, after 3 hours of struggle the newborn would have passed through the womb of his bleeding mother emitting his first cry with his mother already dead. after a while of crying someone heard in the desolate building, it was an old man who saw the newborn next to his mother's body and he went to call an ambulance, "Yes, I'm calling the emergency service 011 “.”yes , Do You have a problem ?? , no, but in the condominium I live in there is a woman, apparently lifeless and a newborn child, okay tell me the address of the condominium, Millennium Housing Complex, Av. Nuevo Siglo ". To arrive the paramedics and police officers "Just to confirm I will take the woman's pulse," said one of the paramedics, a moment later he confirmed "she has died, and has little time, her temperature is still stable" another of the paramedics verified the newborn "The child is fine, his pulse and temperature are stable" while the police officers called the public prosecutors, and tried to find out the identity of the woman, they located a bag with some women's accessories and an identification, the woman's name was Evelyn Mendiola Suárez, the agents inspected the place to find out if she lived alone or not. When they made their arrival the public prosecutors "official good night" said "apparently it was death due to the birth" they defined "okay, we will transfer the woman's body and notify her relatives" the woman's body was taken to the morgue while the infant was being taken to the hospital. Next to the woman's body they found a letter with apparently the woman's last will in it, the address and name of her parents were cited and it was her will that they know of the existence of her living grandson in the hope that They would take care of the infant, it was also her will that they would call the infant Iván, in addition to asking that a pendant be given to him that had been very important to her, her father had given it to her when she was 15 years old. Following the last will, the public ministry contacted the woman's parents, "Yes, Mr. Manuel Mendiola Armenta" asked the agent "Yes, he" answered "his daughter is Evelyn Mendiola ……. Yes" he answered before listening the second one, perhaps he sensed it "Excuse me, mister mendiola, we have bad news" there was a long silence "sir, are you okay? Yes, yes ... when did it happen two hours ago, and you are required to recognize the body ..., I'm sorry "after a few seconds, he answered" Yes… .. I'm going there ", the woman's father didn't want to say anything to his wife, he would find the time to talk to her. Twenty minutes later at the morgue, the father recognized his daughter and learned of the letter with the woman's last will, the man was devastated and did not know who to blame for the death of his daughter, if the infant, the father of the infant or himself for having denied support to his daughter, in any case he did not want to know anything about the infant. In this way, little Ivan was going to suffer from the moment of his birth, the state would take over the first years of his life. His first 5 years were not bad at all since the state would cover his maintenance and studies, the problem was that by law the children abandoned by the state had to be adopted in the sixth year and he would not be the exception with 5 and a half years He was adopted by an apparently stable couple, she was a nurse by profession and the man a police officer, the first year went by without incident but the second year the officer was fired for police brutality, leaving him without a job and with alcoholism that was present again. There were many nights of the month in which he appeared in the house that they lived drunk, hitting the woman and the infant and with the desperation that the money was no longer enough in the house , since it was only hers salary, in part because it was not Too much besides being forced to give part of it to her husband to cover his vice, the woman also began to mistreat Iván. This situation would last 6 months after this Iván would decide to escape facing danger, sleeping in the streets and begging for a few days, with the passage of time he would find a group of street children whom he would join. His initiation rite would be to steal food in a supermarket and from there his long criminal career would begin, although not everything was to commit a crime in the group since they also organized to work in pedestrian crossings as fire throwers, window cleaners, among others. They criminalized when they were in a hurry mainly for food and they did it in stores, supermarkets and convenience stores. As is to be expected, as they grew up they became a g**g, although they continued to work, they did not stop committing crimes and many of them used drugs and there were already clashes with other gangs. Iván was 9 years old and had already spent 3 years on the street, he was hardened, knew all the arts of robbery and had already participated in several g**g fights with a child his age. At the beginning, it had cost her work since he had come from being hospitalized and living in a family that until before the officer's dismissal had been ideal, so when he came to the group he was victims of a***e by the older ones. But with 3 years of seniority he had already learned to defend himself in addition to that they had already gotten used to him and already considered a leader for children younger than him, little by little he had learned to conduct himself within the group. It would take 2 years to go to the next level with 11 years he would commit his first murder that would occur in a g**g fight stabbing a teenager 1 year older than him, from that date the authorities would notice his presence in addition to that he already had a long run of small and not so small thefts. By this time he was already beginning to suffer attacks of split personality, in a few moments he could be the most condescending person and moments later the most cruel and ruthless person according to his age, showing signs of what he would become.
