the morning after Roger was shot his brother Donovan Robinson decided to closed the restaurant for a week. apparently Roger was lucky to not die but he was so badly wounded and because one of the bullets went through his neck he wasn't able to speak and there is the probability that he would never talk again. while Donovan was visiting his brother everyone else was doing their own thing in the week of vacations and one of them was Robert whom was packing his things before leaving. he left a letter to Donovan telling him about his departure after all Donovan wasn't in any condition to talk to anyone and less when we are talking about bad news. 
that morning Martha was surprised to think how much power has this enemy or how smart is he? then she realized that the real killer was probably a buffoon but the real problem was the other guy, he was the brains whom is using both like chess pieces for his own entertainment after all he knew so much more about the people like her so he had an upper hand in this twisted game of his. even when he had the upper hand she had hope in winning on his own game.
that morning the detective Fisherman was investigating another case but jet he did the possible to follow the suspects as close as he can in order to find the one whom kill that innocent lady mother of two. the thing that hurt him the most was to know that some twisted mind left two kids orphans for no good reason. he needed to find why someone would so something so cruel? and he wanted the answers now and not for later.
Augusto was playing video games with Richard. they seem to be enjoying the moment. 

"I don't get it how is that you two sleep in here and none of you saw the culprit? sir I heard that was brutal and some even say that the incident has something to do with a drug deal that went wrong... I mean like is that shit even possible? I mean something super suspicious is going on sir."
said Richard while playing.

"get the fuck out of my house loser."
yields Augusto furious.

"what? are you serious?"
asks Richard in disbelieve.

"the fuck out now virgin bitch."
yields Augusto furious.

Richard gets out of the room and he walks out of the house. Augusto calls Martha and he asks her if she needs anything. he tells her that he likes her and that he is willing to do anything for her. Martha asks him to meet in the park that is near their work place. Augusto accepts and he takes a shower. while Augusto is singing in the shower Rigoberto is watching pornography in his computer. Rigoberto looks at a note "I know that she knows..... what would you do be a pussy or a real man?" is what is written in the note and he starts to feel really nervous. 

"I didn't do anything wrong. it is all her fault that I am in this position. she should now the consequences of playing with the secrets of others. is not her place to expose me but mine."
siad Rigoberto while feeling anger turning into hatred.

in the meanwhile Alexander is in a cafe meeting with Raul. they might not know each other but they wanted to talk alone without anyone else. they were looking at each other in the eyes.

"I know everything that happens in that restaurant..... there is not a single thing that happens without me knowing about it, if I ignore whatever happens in there is for a reason and that might be clear by now..... if I am here in front of you is because I had notice a change in the behavior of my sweet Martha and I believe that the reason is simple, someone wants to hurt her or is threatening her so because you are her cousin and the closest person to her in this country I might suppose that you know what is happening."
said Alexander with a serious expression on the face.

the cousin is in coplete silence looking at him while drinking his coffee. he takes a few minutes to find the right words in this situation.

"well you are right I am the closest person to her. she is a sweetheart isn't she or even eye candy we could say.... I mean her face is of a doll and her body seems delicate but that doesn't mean that you own her.... last time I check you weren't even her friend so why are you meeting me in here to talk abou her.... because I am her relative I care about everything that happens to her and everyone who gets closed to her and to be honest I don't trust you freak."
said Raul while he is looking at his coffee.

"if you really care about her enough then why you ignored my questions and started attacking me for no reason. I mean that seems so suspicious, so suspicious that I might misunderstand your role in her life or at least you don't seem like a cousin worry but a boyfriend jealous because I am worry about her safety."
said Alexander with evil smile.

"you are making no sense living in your small world of fantasy but fine if that is how it is going to be then I can talk louder and I might even called you a stalker and how can I forget about those two beauties whom like me. they can overhear me calling you a stalker and they might even spread the word and then your life is done..... finish. she is not for you, she has such a better future in a college in which she can learn a career deserving of her..... now leave."
said Raul with a creepy smile.

"really? is that really what you want to do? she needs to know, she needs to know what kind of man are you, she needs to know that you are not okay of your head. there is some serious problem on your head."
said Alexander looking him in the eyes.

"why are you stalking my cousin? why are you doing this to us? why are you taking pictures of her nacked and sending them to her parents? what is wrong with you? please stop this, I understand that you want her but that is not right man.... you can not force her to love you."
said Raul louder, loud enough for everyone in the cafe to overhear the conversation.

Alexander stands up slowly while everyone in there is looking at him with disgust and some are even calling the cops. Alexander walks away slowly proving that he doesn't fear him. proving that he has nothing to hide. and then he was gone before anyone could take a picture of his face or the cops could arrive.
in the meanwhile Donovan is in the hospital in front of his badly wounded brother. Donovan is crying while he looks at him. 

"why? didn't I did enough to protect you. why didn't I try better to be a better brother or be a better person? tell me how did I failed to you? how is that I had fail every time even when I had sacrificed so much for you, I sacrificed my opportunity to be a happy man or to have a family..... is this some kind of punishment for my mistakes? for the mistakes of my past."
said Donovan while crying.

Roger wasn't able to asnwer but he could hear the pain on the voice of his brother and he could feel the weight of his mistakes. he could feel the scars that he has left on his brother. was now that he truly wanted to be a better person. he did so much wrong to his brother without even thinking of the consequences of his actions but now he wanted to be a better man and to be there at the side of his brother.
in the meanwhile Augusto is in a park with Martha. both of them are in complete silence for a moment until Augusto starts to talk and Martha is listening while she feels bored of him.

"I want to know if I can trust you? I don't know if there is anyone in who I can trust."
said Martha looking at his eyes.

"of course, I am completely transparent. there is nothing I had ever hidden to you. if there is someone in who you should trust that person is definitely me."
said Augusto with a smirk.

"then why do I have the feeling that you are at my side because you only want me on your bed and you don't actually care if anything happens to me."
said Martha doubting of his good intentions.

"you can believe whatever you want to believe but I am truly at your side no matter what."
said Augusto with confidence on his words.

"then would you believe me if I told you that someone wants to kill me."
said Martha with anger.

"fuck. I really wanted to take you to my bed but it seems like you are not you. you are all paranoid. well see you there is a real woman awaiting for me."
said Augusto while he leaves.

Martha starts crying not because she cares about what that man says but because she couldn't believe that she could be so stupid in her past, she can't believe that she didn't doubt in saying yes before to that man. a person like him who only cares about his pleasure is not worth it. she leaves and while she is walking she calls her cousin.
in the meanwhile Richard and Rigoberto are alone in Richard's room.

"I think someone found out about my secret. I need to do something before she destroys my life."
said Rigoberto feeling anxiety.

"well you only have two options really, the first one is simple, try to erased every evidence and then leave as far away as possible or the second one is even more simple, if there is no witness then there is no crime."
said Richard with a creepy smiled while looking at him.

in the meantime Donovan is walking on his neighborhood trying to keep his head with clear ideas. he walks back to his home at the same time that he receives a call from Martha, he doesn't answer until he is inside of his home. 

"yes, tell me what do you want now I don't have much time."
said Donovan while drinking some water.

"I remember that you are a man with a drinking problem. every time that you feel bad you start to drink as much alcohol as you can."
said Martha with a emotionless tone of voice.

"I don't understand. why do you fucking care of what I do or don't do with my body?"
asks Donovan yielding.

"well last time that I saw you drunk you started to talk about this story of how you were guilty of a hit and run. but you never pay for that crime even when your car was completely stained of blood some how you were able to get away with that serious crime."
said Martha with a strange laugh.

"do whatever you must do but remember this words. I fear no one nor I knelt before nobody."
said Donovan swallowing saliva with teary eyes.

he hangs up and he sits in his sofa in front of the TV. he tries to smile while he watch some shows. later someone knocks on the door but he doesn't move because he already knew who was in the other side. he takes his phone out and he calls someone, that person answers immediately.

"there is the possibility that I won't be able to take care of the restaurant from jail..... I trust you more than anyone so please I want you to take care of everything while I am away..... you are the only person in who I trust and the only one who can take care of everything at this moment."
said Donovan with a serious tone of voice before hanging up.

the police enters and they take Donovan unders custody. he could had been sad, angry or feeling anxiety but in reality he was in peace to know that he doesn't have to fear anymore. for so long he couldn't sleep in peace for the guilt but now that he is going to pay for his crime he feels free, free from his guilt.
two weeks after the arrest of Donovan his restaurant was once more open but this time there was a new face in the place, there was a new man running things. his name is Joseph "conejo" Hall, a man in his mid forties with a cold gaze and a deep voice. he is tall with blonde hair. he is a skinny man whom always wears formal clothing. he has an intimidating presence. 
everyone in that restaurant was nervous as soon as he entered in the restaurant and he presented himself as the new boss. it was clear that he isn't a man who believes in mistakes nor liabilities so it was clear from the beginning that if anyone commits a mistake that person would be out without an explanation. this man wasn't the type to play games, he hated games so they only had an option and that option is to behave in front of him if they didn't wanted to be kick out.
in the meanwhile the killer wearing the mask enters in Roger's room. he sits in front of Roger waiting for him to wake up, after a while Roger opens his eyes and he looks at the killer.

"sorry, I know that you need to rest but I am here not as the sadistic killer who put you in that bed but as an ally who has come to tell you of the crimes of the person whom you wanted to protect and help. that eye candy in who you trusted, well thanks to her your brother is now on prison and he won't be able to visit you for a while.... thanks to her you won't see your brother never ever again. unless you go to visit him on jail."
said the killer with a sadistic laugh.

the killer leaves and Roger is crying in silence. he can't talk nor make any sounds without hurting his throat. while he cries someone is following the killer, someone whom seem to have found his identity. the killer doesn't know that someone is following him like a shadow, it seems like he trust too much in his instinticts or he is too confident that no one is smarter than him but a shadow knows who is he and unlike any normal shadow this human shadow has a face and a name. not only that but this shadow is going to talk to Martha. he is going to expose the killer at the first opportunity that he can find.
