El costo de un error

—Qué tengo que hacer, — preguntó el hombre, tomando el rifle, el otro lo miró, se sentía mal por no poder cumplir su objetivo, pero el polvo añejado y húmedo de aquellas paredes le habían cegado y no podía aclarar su vista.
—Es un calvo, siempre lleva una chaqueta negra, no debes fallar, es mucho dinero lo que está en juego, incluso nuestras vidas… ¿Lo puedes ver?
—Hay mucha gente saliendo y ¿cómo lo reconozco si usa sombrero?
—Es alto, de rostro limpio.
—¿Ya lo tienes?
—Hay dos calvos, pero uno es pequeño y corpulento.
—¡Ese no es, es el otro, no falles!
—¡Ya lo tengo!
—¡Dispara!
Desde lo alto vio cuando el hombre calvo cayó,
—Tiene que bajar y cerciorarte que no hubo errores, yo sacaré el arma.
—Está bien.
Dos guardias trataban de mantener la calma, el hombre se dio cuenta que había varios calvos, llevaban sus sombreros en la mano, no estaba seguro de haber dado con el correcto, salió de prisa y desde el tumulto unos ojos no lo perdían de vista, lo fue siguiendo y cuando encontró a su compañero, aquellos ojos levantaron la mano, el apenas tuvo tiempo de sostenerlo, el tiro le dio justo en la frente.

The cost of a mistake

—What do I have to do, —asked the man, taking the rifle, the other looked at him, he felt bad for not being able to fulfill his objective, but the stale and damp dust of those walls had blinded him and he could not clear his sight.
—He's a bald man, always wears a black jacket, you mustn't miss it, it's a lot of money at stake, even our lives... Can you see him?
—There are many people coming out and how do I recognize him if he wears a hat?
—He's tall, with a clean face.
—You got him yet?
—There are two bald men, but one is small and stout.
—That's not him, that's the other one, don't miss!
—I've got him!
—Shoot!
From above he saw the bald man fall,
—You have to go down and make sure there was no mistake, I'll get the gun.
—Okay, no problem.
Two guards were trying to keep calm, the man noticed that there were several bald men, they had their hats in their hands, he was not sure if he had found the right one, he left in a hurry and from the melee, some eyes did not lose sight of him, he followed him and when he found his companion, those eyes raised their hand, he barely had time to hold it, the shot hit him right in the forehead.
