The next dayIn the same place and at the same corner table in the restaurant.“What happened boss...? But one time I was worried about calling you and your phone seemed to be disconnected or out of range...” asks Rebecca, having been “watching ships” since the previous day.“My wife had been rescued and, in order not to waste time, I didn't tell you beforehand. The reason for the lack of contact is that I hadn't put my cell phone on charge, so I couldn't tell you. But you already know that when I change direction it's because of her. She is my life!”, explains the old man to the assistant.“How is she at the moment…”, she wants to know and is already expecting good news or at least not so bad considering that the boss is calm.""Stable". It is the term that for me has become synonymous with “good”, as I have never heard a better term from doctors than that since her diagnosis.”, laments the old man, showing comfort.“In this case, I will also take the same approach as you, but only u

“Sorry boss, but I didn’t understand. What do you mean?”, she asks.“Well, what if our investigation is based on a single theory from our client? Nothing stops her from being on the wrong side, right...?”, insinuates the investigator in light of the facts.“Continue boss... I still haven't got your message...”, asks the assistant, in reality she could already deduce it, but she prefers him to be very clear.“Who can guarantee us that we are not in a case where our client has a personal or even passionate reason against Alejandro and wants us to find the necessary elements that she can use against him, denigrating him, tarnishing his image...?Sorry if I'm going to sound sexist, but that's not my intention. Women have done something like this much more often than we might imagine.Even if later on, during the appeals process, it is proven that he is innocent, some damage will always remain, leading some to believe until they die that it was the amount, he invested that obscured the tru

The old detective turns his attention to his colleague's drama and says, “I'm sorry for your situation and... I hope that one day you will find what you want or need to satisfy your emotional needs.”, concludes the investigator and then pays attention to what she seems to have on the case.“So can we continue here, boss...?”, she asks, quickly wiping away her tears.“Yes, of course...!”, she says while taking a sip of coffee, just as she had already taken.The old man seems calm knowing that he only has to worry about his wife, himself and the assistant, as there is no longer the possibility of suffering for the safety of the assistant's possible relatives.“My theory, or if you wish... another one of my... theories. There was an interval of approximately one year from one victim to the next.Counting from June 20th of each month. And not just a few random months as was stated in the files...”, she reveals.“What do you mean...?”, the old man doesn’t understand.“Let me see if I can e

“Now it makes sense that you were late. Disappeared in the blink of an eye, appeared only after the model left...”, understands the old man.Knowing that he was deceived by her was a very bad feeling for the old detective, as it went back to some episodes during his police career in which several colleagues deceived, manipulated and even accused him of treason.“I'm sorry, I'm really sorry... I even wanted to remind you about the importance of being discreet in accordance with what I had already studied and because it was one of the details highlighted by your client and, thus, justifying my absence.But I want to take this opportunity to say that there was still another factor that contributed to my sudden disappearance, which was when I noticed an agent, from the police department you were about to go to... coming towards us...”, she tries to complement and thus justifying even more abandonment to the boss. She made it clear that everything had gotten out of control.Boss, I hope I'

“But I see that even so, you appear to have overcome this, let’s say, deficiency in structuring.”, believes the old man.“Thank you, boss, but what you see now was the basis of a lot of therapy and medication..., which I still depend on.”, she confesses.“I'm very sorry, unfortunately I don't have much to say about this because I had a family who provided what I certainly needed...”, he reveals.“But it's okay... I'm surviving...!Thank you for listening to me, it made me feel better...”, she thanks.The old man's humble and sincere manner has always worked well in providing comfort to whoever he chooses to listen to.“My mouth doesn't always come out with the right words... and at the right time... on the other hand, my ears don't usually disappoint me...”, he acknowledges.“I understand..., but we ended up losing focus, boss. My story is another story. Let's focus on what brought us together. That's what interests us at the moment. After we help put this killer in jail, it will defi
