'Hey, Franco, it's your first day on the job, and you still don't realize what an ultimate pleasure it is to beat a beautiful woman?'' shouted the experienced officer.
Franco, a humble and impoverished farmer, had just been hired into service through a minister of the San Rosario junta, who did a favor for his struggling family.
It was the first day of training, and he was tasked with interrogating the young student Susana, who had been arrested just a short while ago.
During a routine bus check, they found an illegal proclamation print in her bag, which, as it turned out, she had picked up from the station without any other involvement.
Then Franco entered the cell, gave with the baton a few slaps on Susana's back, while his callous sadistic colleague shouted:
- 'Harder, you idiot'
- 'But her back is bleeding'
- 'So what? She's also lucky that her dad is a well-known businessman and a big supporter of the government, and she'll get away with just a few beatings.'
Disturbed by the visible harm inflicted on Susana, Franco mumbled:
'She has very soft skin; she will bruise if I beat her again.
-'Well, doesn't the girl turn you on at all, man?'
- 'Not when she's in pain'.
Apparently, Franco wasn't cut out for the job, so they sent him to an office to stamp documents. In fact, when they called him useless and took away his baton, he said to Susana,
'I apologize, senorita'.
They didn't torture her any further.
With the strict instruction that she should have notified the police when she saw the proclamation instead of picking it up and putting it in her bag, they let her go.
At the exit, her father was awaiting for her in his car, saying,
'I hope those idiots didn't beat you up.'.
Just like in the brief interrogation where she remained completely silent, Susana, visibly shaken, didn't utter a word, but tears rolled down her pretty face.
At home, her caring sister tended to the wounds on her back.
'They could have done terrible things to you just because you are a girl; fortunately, everything is fine'.
