the detective Darwin Fisherman was early that day in the restaurant in front of all the suspects. Darwin called Dolores Mendoza a woman who works in there sometimes and who was in the restaurant the night in which Martha was found dead also a possible eyewitness of the events that happened that night in which Martha was brutally murder. of course because the detective knew that she was a possible witness he didn't wanted to leave her expose to be the next victim so he treat her like a suspect and not a witness. 

the detective could feel the eyes of everyone on him, they were all watching him slowly trying to read his movements and his mind but was it possible? or could any of them read anything from his movement or behavior? those were the real questions he was asking himself.

"but why is that no one is talking about the victim but the acts of the culprit? why no one is trying to remember her but remember the secrets she knew about them? why is that no one is trying to remember her good actions or even her face but how good she used to look? why is that they seem to wish to forget her and not to remember her?"

the narrator said to herself.

there was nothing else they could think about nor do..... this was a lake full of hungry sharks ready to eat each other if it was necessary to do it. Rigoberto and Alexander were whispering to each other. Richard was talking with Roger Robinson about Martha. they were all talking between each other and the detective Darwin Fisherman could only await for them to try to do a stupid move for him to get them. finally after a few minutes the detective was in the office with Dolores and they look at each other in the eyes.

"please tell me everything you know....... you see I might not seem different nor special but I had a single ability that has put me as far as I had needed to go and that ability is simple, I can read people easily and I can tell that most of the guys out there had reasons to kill her but I also can tell that you are hiding a secret, that you probably saw something that day."

said the detective with a small smile.

"yes I was there that day, that night. I saw how she was brutally attacked by a man wearing a mask and I saw how another man in the shadows was watching........ for a moment I thought that the man in the shadows would do something or try to help her but he did not. all he did was to look at me and with a creepy smile he made a sign telling me to keep quiet. he knew, is like if he knew that I was afraid of what I was watching and he knew that if I made the smallest noise the man wearing the mask would killed me too...... I am a mother, do you understand what is to be a single mother of two? I kept quiet for my kids....... I might not be able to say much but of one thing I am sure, the man in the shadows wasn't the accomplice of the other man. the man wearing the mask never notice the other man and after he attacked her he took the body while the other man stayed in the shadows for a while looking at the blood while he was putting his left hand in his mouth like a dog with hunger looking at his food and then he left on the shadows....... before you asked the obvious, no sir, I never saw his face but that smile and those evil eyes are things that are impossible to forget nor erased of someone's head."

said Dolores with tears on her face and a broken voice. she felt so much pain for holding the truth for so long. 

"thanks for telling me this. then I would like you to leave the room and if anyone asks tell them that I suspect of you or I even yield at you because if they know that you know then the two of them would come for you, or maybe just the real killer but for what you told me, the other one is way more dangerous."

said the detective worry for her safety.

both of them get out of the office at the same time and everyone is looking at them waiting for them to say something, anything and then the detective clears his throat. 

"hello everyone, she is a suspect at the moment like any of you, no one in here is totally clear of suspicion but at the moment I want you all to know that I would solve this case and the culprit would be bring to justice."

said the detective with confidence. 

the thing that was bothering the detective was the fact that even when there was a murder case the restaurant wasn't close and they were still working like if nothing had ever happen in there. the detective felt like if this case was a trap for him to be bury alive and lose his job. there was something that he didn't like at all about this case but he couldn't tell what it is. but he could feel deep down that it was something dark that would eat him alive if he wasn't careful enough.

in the meanwhile Augusto is talking with Raul about what they remember of that night and both of them seem to be heart broken about that event.

"man, I loved your cousin. I really did love her and I wanted to shared my life with her until she was murdered out of nowhere and then I felt this kind of emptiness, do you also feel it? do you also feel empty and broken without her? because I do every hour since we lost her and it is painful."

said Augusto while he is crying.

"I know, you had told me before. me, I and my family. we, we had hopes that one day, some day she would do great things.... we had so many expectations and hopes for her future..... her future than is now gone, there is nothing left of it...... she is gone and we had to carry the weight of knowing that we might could had been able to do something but we let her die, we didn't save her."

said Raul while drinking liquor with tears on his face.

the detective walks behind of them and he stays in there for a moment.

"you shouldn't be drinking when your boss in going to open the place in half of an hour and you Mr. Palacios what are you doing in here when you don't even work in here?"

said the detective worry about the people in that place.

"well he can work better drunk and I am in here because I can't go home.... every time that I go home all I can see is her walking on the kitchen or corridors and talking to me about her boyfriend or even her job.... in here is the only place that I don't feel like losing my mind."

said the cousin with tears on his face.

"well that was all for today. see you all tomorrow."

said the detective before leaving the place.

for the next few hours everyone tried to keep working and they also tried to forget about how horrible was for them to lose one of them.

"there was some mystery about their own that they didn't wanted to be revealed, also there was something to come that would shock the killer and the other man, the man of the shadows but before that happen the case needed to be solve first. so far many days had gone since the death of Martha Palacios and there was no real culprit behind bars jet... there was no principal suspect jet. so little they knew about the punishment that was coming to them. when there is no righteous man there is no right punishment that can't be seen as too much no matter what was the mistake that the person commit. no matter the size of the mistake the punishment would be brutal to any soul in that restaurant. to any man whom was present that night."

said the Narrator feeling whatever was coming to them.

that day Roger Robinson wasn't feeling well. we was known for being a junkie but everyone pretended to not know. even his own brother looked the other way every time he found his brother using drugs but this time it was different. in the mourning someone left a note to him and with the note there was a small bug that he has already used and since then he had felt really bad, he had felt sick but he didn't say anything because he knows that whatever happens to him is his problem and no one else would care, not even his brother. 

Roger enters in the kitchen and Jake tries to talked to him and at that moment Roger starts to trow up blood and he starts to cry blood. everyone is freaking out in the kitchen. Alexander runs to the office and he calls Donovan to see his brother and when they enter in the kitchen they see Roger in the floor bleeding and screaming. Donovan felt relief knowing that at that time there was no costumer outside and he called for an ambulance but the ambulance came too late, Roger was already dead and every person who was in the kitchen was traumatized to see such a horrible death. Donovan was in shock and he couldn't accept that his own brother had just died in front of his eyes and the worst of all was the fact that he didn't do anything to save him, he just let him die. he let him die like a dog.

the next day Donovan was told that his brother poisoned his own self. he committed suicide and Donovan felt guilt and he cried and scream like a dying animal, he was in denial but deep in his mind he was telling himself that he was the reason, he killed his brother by ignoring the pain that his brother was suffering and now he is in denial and pain, he can't accept the death of his only family member. now he feels truly alone in the world. 

that day Donovan went to some bar to drink and forget everything and while he was drinking he called Robert whom was like a right hand to him and he told to Robert that they won't open the restaurant for two weeks, until he feels better about losing his own brother. Robert tries to talk to him on the phone but Donovan ignores him and he hangs up.

"I know that he was broken.... I know that he had commit many mistakes in life I know..."

said Donovan while crying and thinking in his brother. he kept drinking until he pass out. he was fond by Robert whom took him to his home and he stayed at his side until he was sure that Donovan was going to be fine. when Robert was leaving he called the detective and he tells everything to the detective.

the detective Darwin Fisherman was already in a complicated position but now that there is a second body he has even more problems over his shoulders and now he has to worry for the owner of the restaurant. nothing about this case was alright. everything was going to hell and it was dragging him with it. the detective calls a friend and he tells to his friend that he is not sure about this case. he is not sure if he is ready or if he can solve this case. is clear that the detective is feeling desperation to see how his dreams of being the best detective in the world are now that, just dreams. and he would be forgotten like if he had never ever lived.

the next day while the detective was in the restaurant he found a letter written by Roger were he confesses to be the culprit in the murder of Martha. he takes the letter with him and he goes to the house in which Roger was living with Augusto, Rigoberto and Robert. the detective enters in the room of Roger and he finds the mask that Dolores described in the room and not only the mask but also the dress that Martha was wearing the day in which she was murder. the dress was covered in blood. the knife was also in there. the detective covered with his left hand his mouth while he felt the need to scream by thinking of whatever this man could have done to the victim. he calls the sheriff and the first thing that Darwin said is "I found him."

"the case was solved and the culprit was dead while the identity of the other man whom just watched the whole thing was still unknown. it was all over three months after all begin, just like that it was over and there was no justice for the victim or that was at least what was in the mind of the detective whom wanted to at least feel some sort of satisfaction knowing that the culprit had already pay, or at least he wasn't any longer a danger to others. but he felt that something was wrong also even when he told to his superiors about the other man, the man in the shadows because there was not enough evidence of his existence they decided to look the other way and ignored that he was ever there, the man in the shadows was never real. but unlike them for Dolores he was more than real and his smile as well as his eyes were in her nightmares every night. 

after the case was solved the detective didn't had any reason to go back to that restaurant and also he was busy with more cases to solve. so in the end Dolores was alone in the nest of the wolves. 

everything was back to normal three months after the murder of Martha and everyone was trying to live their lives, they felt miserable but also they pretended that Martha never existed. at least in that way they were able to live with their lives with no guilt. but it wasn't over, not jet. Dolores was the only one whom remembered that day clearly like if the time had stopped for her. one day the detective came to the restaurant to visited her and he whispered in her ear telling her that she should leave that place if she wanted to be safe, he told her that there was nothing that he could do for her and he was afraid that the man in the shadows might come for her one day. she looked at him and with her gaze she told him that she knew but she couldn't leave. he left that day praying for her safety, he wasn't a man of religion but for the first time in his life he pray to a god for someone and he could feel deep on his heart that she didn't had much time left before someone tried to kill her.
