—He is my father figure Meg, he is going to take care of me for many years and I am going to take care of him when he gets old, because I don't have parents or grandparents, I was alone a night ago, but not now.

-Due to?

—The Marinos are my family, they are my safe place Meg.

They both look at each other lovingly and some response that I don't know explodes in my now girlfriend's eyes. Damn, calling her that way really makes me lose my train of thought, I rethink everything until I realize that yesterday after fucking her for the first time I pushed away my fears to be able to tell the truth, to scream what my head wanted so much.

I had wanted for a long time to make her mine, to show her everything I had detonated since that night when I was lost and for some strange reason Emily brought me back to my senses. Although I was plotting the beginning of my path badly like Don, little by little I was guided by her, by her desire to help and realizing that in the way I was carrying things out I was going to get nothing but death; more death.

Certain gifts had lit up his face, like Cookie who now has him in her arms and his new car. However, he can't lie to me, the part he enjoyed the most about his birthday was those perverse gifts that I offered him, that I gave him and would give him all the time, not caring if it was his birthday or not.

I stop fantasizing about her when she goes to get her cell phone, when she returns there is no longer a hint of color in her body.

-What's going on?

—David called eight times, left a voicemail six hours ago.

—Put it on.

Bring the device closer to both of us so that we can both listen at the same time.

"Emily, damn it, I'm not going to be able to," he sounds accelerated.I came to see Norma and there was a knock on the door, they killed her, I ran out the window and... Aagh!!

Two shots explode, you hear him fall to the ground and Emily puts her hand over her mouth.

—Emily, they have me, I was calling you, they were hanging around the building and the guards... They didn't realize, I don't know what happened. Emily!

Voices are heard until the horn cracks and the voice message ends. She bursts into tears, I take my cell phone and immediately contact my brothers, I make the guard outside come in as well.

—Leone kidnapped David, the Rinaldis have him kidnapped.

—Yes, the fucking guards just arrived, they talk pure nonsense.

—Leave them, we must know what happened, leave Piero for us.

—Okay, we'll be waiting.

I finish the call, when I turn around Emily is wiping her face and my guard is standing at attention trying to wait for my instructions, they know that something bad has happened.

—David is kidnapped, prepare everything because we're leaving now, I don't want any confusion on the way or I'll kill them all.

-Yes sir.

They move, I run to grab my things and the babysitter runs out to grab the girl's, who stays with Emily and the dog. I'm fast, I don't stop to organize the clothes as we had brought them, when I have the bags ready I throw them to Guillermo to put them in the trunk.

—Little girl, to the truck, go with Cookie.

—Yes, Brunis.

He kisses Emily on the cheek, she leaves and I hug my girlfriend who is still against the chair trying to control herself.

—We're going to find him, I promise, now let's go home.

—David, he...

—I know, love, but you must breathe and accompany me or we are wasting time.

She doesn't say more, she stands up and seeing her cry like that breaks my heart like that time she burst into tears because of something I said to her and it triggered memories of the past. We get into the truck, I drive at full speed forgetting everything we had spent together on his birthday.
