Return of Legion
Mike, a 19 year old Ugandan studying Engineering in Monterrey Institute is arrested by Federales (Mexican Police) after being spotted at a Sombrero Restaurant talking to a pretty but very mystical young Woman under Investigation. She is wanted alongside her young Brother and a Boyfriend shown to Mike in a rare Video during Interrogation by two Cops (Sergeant Vasquez and Lucia). The Story starts in medias res (Latin for "in the middle of things"), the Background Story recounted later through a Flashback. "Jesus, save us!" Based on a DreamVision seen in December 2010. Any Similarities to real-life Events like the Arrest of El Ponchis and his Sister is totally coincidental.
