The movers back away toward their van.
By the time the patrol car arrives, three neighbors are outside, Silvia is still recording, and Luis is sweating through his T-shirt.
You give your statement calmly.
The officers ask Luis for documentation authorizing the move.
He has none.
He claims concern.
He claims stress.
He claims you have become forgetful.
You hand the officer your INE, house deed copy, recent medical evaluation from your annual checkup, and the card of your lawyer, Licenciado Arriaga.
The officer reads everything.
Then looks at Luis.
“This is a civil family issue unless there is coercion or fraud,” he says. “But you cannot remove him or his belongings from his property.”
Luis mutters, “I wasn’t trying to remove him.”
Silvia says from her gate, “The boxes said senior residence.”
The officer turns.
Karla whispers, “This is humiliating.”
You look at her.
“Yes.”
At noon, Licenciado Arriaga arrives.
