The son has to help

Marquez was also looking at them from behind. Oz was a bit mad at himself for not having closed the door behind him, but he had high hopes for the youth. He knew that most of them were quick witted with technology.

He stepped away from the scanner and let Maria try it. She turned the paper to page two, but placed it with the written side up. Oz noticed, but he let her make the mistake. Marquez giggled slightly in the back. Maria even managed to press the right button, but the paper which came out was empty.

“All right, Maria, one more time! But before that can you tell me what went wrong?”

Maria who was looking at the empty paper was clueless. She knew she pressed the right button and that she had put the paper where it should be.

“Madre, up down!” said the boy behind them.

“That’s right, Marquez! Hear that, Maria?”

Maria went bright red, but because of a different sort of shame this time. She was being lectured by two younger men at the same time about a rather silly mistake. She flipped the paper over and it faced the right direction now. A button press later it came out right.
