[00:48.13]I had just moved to San Antonio, Texas.
[00:52.20]I had gotten a job working for the tour bus service
[00:55.21]that would take tourists
[00:56.43]on a short tour of the city's historic¹ places
[00:59.42]and would end up at the Alamo.
[01:02.89]It was near closing time
[01:04.47]and I was driving back from my last tour of the day.
[01:08.52]It was a cool February day,
[01:11.10]and there wasn't anyone on my bus,
[01:14.07]I was on my way
[01:15.06]back from the San Fernando Catholic² church.
[01:17.92]I was about to keep driving by
[01:19.75]when I saw a man dressed up
[01:21.60]in an old buckskin jacket
[01:24.34]and a large worn³ out hat.
[01:27.65]I was thinking⁴ to myself,
[01:29.51]that this person must be a re-enactor
[01:32.45]or something walking around.
[01:35.08]I stopped and opened the door and asked the man,
[01:39.12]"Need a ride?"
[01:40.76]He looked up at me
[01:42.08]and I finally saw how young he was.
[01:45.57]He was a teenager if not a teen
[01:47.74]or he had to be in his early twenties.
[01:51.23]Without saying anything
[01:53.26]he just walked on board
[01:54.90]and sat down in a seat behind me.
[01:57.65]I made sure that there wasn't any other people
[02:00.40]needing a ride somewhere and closed the door.
[02:04.72]"Where you heading⁵?"
[02:06.20]I asked him
[02:07.44]he looked up into the mirror at me and replied.
[02:10.69]"I've got to get to the fort⁶ and report to Col. Travis
[02:13.84]that the Mexicans⁷ are here!"
[02:16.89]I laughed to myself thinking that this man
[02:19.49]was a serious re-enactor.
[02:22.64]"I'm guessing you mean the Alamo?"
[02:25.25]I said back to him.
[02:26.96]I looked up at him in the mirror
[02:28.69]and saw that he wasn't smiling nor laughing.
[02:32.35]I just put my foot on the gas
[02:34.45]and started to drive away.
