One day at the age of 12, Karla was waiting for some her friends at the subway station when a young boy selling sweets came up to her, saying that someone would like to gift her some candy. A couple of minutes later an older man came up and started a conversation about how he used to be a car salesman. Weeks down the road they exchanged numbers and he asked Karla to go to Puebla with him, and the nightmare begins; one night Karla’s mother did not open the door because she came home a little too late so, she decided to leave with the older man the next day.
