Barra da Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro

After another long day, Vini was finally able to relax in his peaceful apartment. He removed his clothes and stepped into the shower, without locking the door. He turned on the water and the cold tap quickly calmed him down. As he rubbed shampoo into his blond hair, he smelled something strong and unfamiliar, but could not determine what it was and where it came from. But as it turned out, that wouldn't be his only issue.

- The water tastes funny. - he said. Until finally he realized. - Holy shit! Enzo! Enzo!

Luckily he saw that his cell phone was right on the edge of the sink. He reached for it without getting out of the shower. He leaned over to grab the phone and try to contact Enzo. Then he felt a strange wind on his back and a tug, lost his balance, and fell on the glass of the box. Pieces of glass scattered everywhere, some stuck in his skin. Vini felt the blood running down his body and feared for his life. His leg was also immobile and, even worse, crooked. In a clever move, he tried to punch as hard as possible on the sink to make the cell phone fall. After almost destroying the cabinet door, the device fell right on his stomach. He called 911.

- I need an ambulance. - he said, giving his address. - I fell into the blindex door bathroom. I'm bleading as shit.

Then he called Enzo, who quickly answered.

- Enzo, come here. Now!

- Okie dokie artichokie. Do you want a cigar?

- No, I don't want a cigar, you fool!

- All right, easy, that was just a suggestion.

Still, could be worse.

Vini heard the front door opening. He yelled for Enzo to go to the bathroom as soon as possible. When he opened the door, he was stunned by the scene. His friend, naked, in the middle of pieces of glass and blood.

- Holy shit! - said Enzo. - You are au naturel!

- Stop being an idiot and help me get up!

- No, Vini. Don't you know anything about first aid? You should never touch the injured person until the ambulance arrives!

- Enzo, i'm fucking damn serious, if you don't help me get up, I swear I'll use your balls as gumballs!

Minutes after the accident, the ambulance came to take him in a hurry to the nearest hospital. Vini's aunt, stunned by the situation, started to go crazy, but Enzo tried to comforted her. In his own way.

- Hey, relax. - said Enzo, cuddling the back of her neck. - Vini will be fine. He's a strong kid.

- It's not that. I am in menopause and my emotions are heightened.

Enzo smiled mischievously.

- Oh, is that so?

What would Phil Collins do, Enzo thought. Vini would get a very nasty surprise.
