"I knew you were coming"

René Lavand, the great Argentine magician of the ancients, of those who did magic with cards, of those who dressed as a casino dealer in Las Vegas and of those who were clear that the smallest thing about magic is the technique and the greatest It is the story that surrounds it and makes it unique.
Between passes and illusions with his cards he tells stories and one of those stories is titled “I knew you were going to come” and he explained it at the beginning of his shows adding that it was “a short story, and dramatic, because a drama is also beauty”:
"The war was over...
Surrender was a fact
It was when the soldier told his captain

-Permission my captain, I want his authorization to return to the battlefield to look for my friend.
- Negative soldier. It's useless since he's dead.

But the soldier resisted the refusal of his superior and disobeyed him and went to the battlefield.
After a while he returns with the body of his friend in his arms... dead
The defiant captain tells him

-He has disobeyed an order and for what?? See??..It was useless..He's dead
-My captain was not useless... When he arrived he was still alive. But before he died he told me:
“I KNEW YOU WERE GOING TO COME…”

They were gendarmes from the Alacrán group. The injured man was Rufino Guerrero, who later died. Those who help him are Commander San Emeterio and Sergeant Pepe.
