Langreo, Spain, June 01 2009
Pornión, Alejandro or Alberto. I knew him just as Pornión, like pactically everybody else. I could barely remember the first time I met him, it must have been late 90s or early 2000s. Jesus strongly disapproved of this , as it seemed Sloppy. Pornion was always dressed in fatigues, or other black cargos . He sported a bushy beard in which white wireless could be seen against the jet background period you looked a bit like captain Haddock with curly black hair.
Since he hadleft the army in the 90's, he had gained weight. this resulted and making his figure even more imposing. He always were a top from a metal band. He didn't never restrain himself to the past. He was always showing the last bands the last albums.
For Jesus, he had the highest priority the reason being if he wanted to organise their recruiting you needed people of vigilance and to collect information. as I said Pornión in the army and as far as I know in the special forces but I never got around finding out where or exactly which unit. Jesus of course found out . a picture taken at the end of the 90s where a young Pornión was visible. also visible was the unit: Grupo de Operaciones Especiales Tercio del Ampurdán IV. As expected her friend was wearing the shirt from iced Earth, the name of the album was barely visible but it looked like Dark Saga. there was another 3 young man in the picture they were all retained against a blue Fiat Brava.Where on earth did Jesus got his pictures from was a mystery to me however he had a lot of contacts on many armies.
Jesus and I prepared a plan. Our target worked shifts and he lived in the city of Langreo, in Asturias. in order to meet him the usual procedure was to write him an SMS because you never know when he was working. in this case Jesus had done some work beforehand, so we knew is schedule and therefore it worked well. I wrote The SMS telling him that I was close by (in Oviedo) on a trip, since I had some free time we could meet and have a beer. we got the last details sorted out as my train was departing from Chamartin station to the North.
now that I was living in Madrid we didn't see each other often, moreover similar meetings our common Friends arranged , we're even more difficult for me to attend. Pornión had no car, Italy because he didn't want to have any contracts nor paperwork and also because the costs if I did not know how much he did monthly but I was quite sure it was not a lot of money. I knew he was not worried about it, he valued his hobbies more than anything else and he had a very simple lifestyle. we would be meeting at the entrance of a mall, next to the bus station
There was a coffee shop next to the door in from the year I could see it weigh my contacts to take before meeting. I decided not to go in, but to lean against the window shop of there bar and enjoyed the temperature instead. Pornión arrived at the right time, wearing mastodon t-shirt period did not move and when he arrived where I was standing we shook hands. Pointing at his t-shirt I said
-- do you have the new album from Nightwish already?? --
-- Fuck you -- he replied. it was partly my fault. My list of the music I listen to was fairly old and one of the few new things are listen to that caught my attention was Nightwish the album Wishmaster which was the third album of the group. when I spoke to him about it he looked at me in this belief and he said it's fucking garbage.I told him then I could not see too far from other new stuff like mastodon meaning that it was all new experimenting and that musically speaking they could even be better because they were all very good musicians period conversation did. not go well.As far as I knew Nightwish had release an album shortly before and even if I was not a big fan it was always fun to poke him and then we went into the bar.
We both ordered beer from the tap, as if there were any other options. It was a Mahou, very fresh. we talked a little about the things in general, how life was going period I could use this to confirm the information I got from Jesus. Pornión and had little changes in his life. since two years he was living alone in the flat his mother left him, as she passed away. Regarding work and whatever else was left,everything was the same.
-- So what about you? -- he asked
-- Mmmm... This might sound funny but I have something to tell you... --
