Character History

Graphic Novel:Maya y Alejandro

While riding with his sister on the back of a flatbed pickup truck, Alejandro explains to their driver that his sister is sick, and that he and his sister want to go to Brooklyn to get help. However, he learns the truck driver can only take them as far as San Cristobal.

Four Months Later

Alejandro and Maya are running from border patrol in a Honduran town. They finally lose them in a small home. Maya admits that she is too tired to keep running, but Alejandro reminds her that them stopping means people will die. He then says they will be in America soon and they will find the answers they need there.

After running a little more, the twins fix a deal with a man who will drive them close to the American border. The coyote says that Maya has to sit up front with him, but Alejandro demands that Maya stay next to him. Eventually, the coyote stops the car, gets out, and tells Alejandro to get out. He says that the deal was Maya sits up front and Alejandro in back, but Alejandro says that wasn't the deal and punches the driver. He then points a gun at Alejandro and then punches him back. Maya is taken with the others as Alejandro is left behind. He begins running after the truck to catch up with them.

Later, Alejandro finds the truck is stopped in the middle of the road. Everyone is dead with their eyes bleeding black. He finds Maya crying on the side of the truck and tells her that they'll come back later to bury everyone.
