Happy Fool´s Day

Diego arrived home and opened the envelop. Two photographs and a small note were inside. The note was cryptic but only if a random reader didn´t know the background of it. The two photos made his knees shiver and he had to look for a chair.
He tried to forget the events preserved in that film but someone had come to torture him with it.

His twenty-two year old version, all wasted and doing whatever crossed his mind. His friends caught him on camera. Three videos and many photos rolled through family´s and friends´ hands and Diego could remembered all of them.
But, the case was that these two new pieces of evidence made him believe that he did more than the previous photos shown.
His younger version was kissing a cow in the first photo. In the second, he was sitting on a horse back with his head facing the ass of the poor creature and wearing a clown costume.

The blue vehicle came again. Diego wanted to approach the driver and ask him how he got the photos. The gas station had cameras if something got wrong the boss would see it and he may get fired. In that case, how to explain the harassment and the constant visits of the man? Diego expected the man to give him another envelop or tell him what he wanted.
The time went by and right on April the first, Diego finished his shift and went home. When he entered the house, looked for his mother and, after screaming her name twice, she answered from the kitchen.

She looked serious. He felt a punch in his stomach as if he knew what was going on. Diego approached his mother and asked her how was she doing.
The old woman, chuckling, said:
-I´m fine.
Diego couldn´t help with it anymore and told her about the letter and it´s contain.
Before he could finish, the woman laughed out loud.
-I know about it.
-Do you? I don´t know what to do. This guy is pissing me off and I can´t tell who he is.
-Is Carlos.
-Carlos?
-Yes, your cousin.
-When did he got here?
-Two months ago.
-He told you this?
-No. I´ve found the photoshoped images in his backpack.

Diego felt two things: relief and like punching Carlos.
