it has been a month since the arrival of Joseph "Conejo" Hall in the business and he has make sure for everyone to know that he is a different type of boss. 
it was another day on the work place with everyone working and while Alexander was washing the dishes Daisy starts to talk about him and she calls him a stalker and Sidney also starts to talk about him. Alexander stops washing the dishes and he walks in front of them, he looks at them in the eyes.

"if you had something to say to someone, say it in front of them not behind them..... only a rat dares to talk behind others, now if you excuse me I am out of here. I am tired of dealing with disgusting rats like yourself and your boyfriend Raul."
said Alexander furious looking at her eyes. 

Alexander stayed in there for a minute looking at her with anger. then he leaves the restaurant, he didn't return in the whole day so Daisy was put to wash the dishes and she was crying with Sidney because of the words that he used to describe them. everyone was quiet mostly. Rigoberto was thinking about the note that he found and about his scret hobby. if anyone knew about it he would spend the rest of his life in jail probably. he was also thinking on the words that Augusto has always used t describe him a "coward" a "loser" and many other words. Rigoberto felt like it was time for him to show them that he was a man so he felt the need to proved himself by getting rid of the only person who is on the way of his freedom. Rigoberto was looking at Martha with a creepy smile while he was thinking of how he was going to disappear her without getting caught.
Augusto was talking to Martha and he invited her to his house. they were both talking and smiling at each other while Richard was looking at them with anger, he was thinking about how much he truly loves her but then there is that loser who only wants to play with her. those were the thoughts on his head which were making him feel furious but unlike others we knew how to control his anger and conceal his real emotions.

"I actually care for you. I want you at my side."
said Augusto looking directly at the eyes of the woman he loves.

"do you love me? you actually love me?
said Martha with sarcasm.

"yes I think I do. do you want to be my girlfriend?"
said Augusto with so much honesty that he almost seem like a sentimental man.

"I will think about it..... why don't we start like friends first."
Martha couldn't think of dating but of erasing names from her list and at the moment there were two names on her list that were the most important ones to follow Rigoberto Fuentes De Marquez and Richard Johnson.

"ok, then let's talk about each other, let me know more about you."
said Augusto feeling excited.

"yes, but not now..... there is something that I need to know..... I mean, there is something that I need to do. but once I finish doing this I would give you an opportunity, probably."
says Martha looking at Rigoberto whom is nervous.

Martha walks out of the restaurant and she looks at Alexander whom was waiting for her, he walks towards her.

"I need to talk to you."
said Alexander looking at her.

"what? Raul called you a stalker, is that truth? or are those lies?"
said Martha looking at him bored.

"I had notice that there is something on your mind, I know that there is something bothering you so I asked your cousin but he behave in a strange way..... I wanted to help but your cousin didn't wanted to accept my help and I saw a dark side of him that I am sure that you don't know."
said Alexander showing fear.

"are you serious? he is the most sweet boy in the world.... well he is older than me but for me he is still being the boy of my childhood.... had you ever try to know him, like actually trying to know him because he is the best human in this world, in this restaurant..... I prefer to believe in Raul than in a creepy stalker."
said Martha furious almost yielding.

"well I did my part, good luck surviving this hell hole."
said Alexader before leaving.

"fucking stalker not a threat but a pain."
said Martha furious while she watches Alexander walking away from there.

in the meanwhile Joseph "conejo" Hall is talking with Daisy. she does a grin that he notice and he is even more angry before he says something Sidney says something trying to defend her friend, something that enraged Joseph so he kicked her out of there and he told her to never come back. he took his phone out and he called someone telling that person that there was space in the restaurant for more employees. 
in the meantime Richard is working and he receives a message. he looks at his phone and then he goes to the bathroom. once alone in the bathroom he calls someone and they answer right away.

"what is this about? may I know what the hell do you want?"
said Richard annoyed.

"we have new movies for you to sell and the targets for you."
said the voice in the other side of the call.

"I am going to sell the movies there is no problem, I know someone with whom I work and that man is sick, he loves the extreme ones but about the other I told you that I was going to do it only once, man I don't like the idea of having my hands stained on blood and less when we talk about innocent woman."
said Richard almost crying.

"you have to do it...... is too late to turn your back on as, we know where you live and also we know the address of your parents and your crush."
said the hoarse voice of an man that saunded like a man that has been smoking for a while.

"ok, let me see what I can do but I don't like this."
said Richard furious.

"maybe no one knows but Richard here has being part of a criminal group for about four years. it all begin when Richard four years ago was stalking a teacher in which he had a crush. then she disappear one day amd while Richard was investigating he found at the end a huge organization that dedicates at making snuff films. he was able to make a deal her life in exchange for his help. it was a risky situation in which he did everything humanly possible to save her. he told them that he was good using computers and he could erased their tracks so the police can never find them, also he could helped them by finding the whole routine of the people they wanted to kidnap for their next movies. they let her go alive and they took the deal but they also force him to help them by selling their movies. it was ok, everything was alright until one day he found Ms. Flores dead in a supposed suicide and it was then that he understood that he never negotiate for her life but for his. he make a deal with demons whom wanted his soul in exchange of a lie and he fall directly in the trap.
the following days he tried anything he could but everything was in vain after all a deal with a devil is a deal tied to the soul and his was already taken."
said the Narrator.

at the time Richard did the last thing that he could do to save his soul, he send footage of the main members to the police including everything about their private life. most of the footage that he sended to the police was so graphical that no one could describe it without being disturbed by the brutality. Richard was crying and feeling happy to know that the hell was officially over. he walked out of there and he walked slowly towards the boss and he looked at him in the eyes.

"is there something that you want to say Mr. Johnson? I see that you haven't being working properly today, can you explain why?"
said Joseph while looking at the cliets.

"yes sir..... I want to thank you for being such a great boss even when we haven't meet for more than a few days but I had something to do and I need to leave."
said Richard feeling nervous.

"why do you need to leave? please can you explain yourself?"
asks Joseph looking at him.

"I did something illegal and wrong so I need to do the right thing now, that also means that I have to fix things while I become a ghost to avoid doing wrong to more people."
said Richard almost crying.

Richard walks towards the backdoor and he is follow by Martha who overheard the whole thing and she wants to know what did he meant with those words. Richard gets out of the place and he looks at the sky before he turns to asks Martha why is she following him. but before he could ever said a single word she hits him in the face as hard as she can. she hits him so hard that he falls on the ground and he looks at her with fear.

"did you killed me? did you?"
asks Martha furious.

"what are you talking about?"
said Richard feeling nervous and fear at the same time.

"someone wants to kill me and I want to know why?"
said Martha ready to hit him a second time.

"I am working for some people whom do snuff movies..... the month after you started to work with us I got a call and they asked me for your information and I told them everything about you..... I never wanted to be part of this whole thing but I didn't had any opportunity to be out of it..... I was told that you were supposed to be killed like a month ago or two months ago, I am not sure but the thing is that one day out of nowhere they told me that they didn't wanted you anymore but that they were now interested in someone else, they wanted both of the annoying girls with whom we work..... I was never told why they decided to change their minds but it is a good thing for you, isn't it?"
said Richard feeling nervous.

"you called that a good thing fucking asshole..... I was wearing a dress in a day of February but I don't remember the color, what color was it?"
yields Martha trying to know if she can trust in him.

"I don't know... I think it was the tenty-first... if I am not wrong it was white with black dots, wasn't it?"
said Richard confuse.

"thanks. now you won't leave this place..... I don't care if they find you and killed you but you are going to stay at my side until I can feel safe again."
said Martha looking around of her.

"yes, I would do whatever you asked me to do."
said Richard feeling guilt.

in the meantime the detective Fisherman is investigating everone who works in "el resucitado bar and grill" but he haven't find anyone who can be responsible for the murder of Dolores and he is all frustrated while he keeps trying to find any leads that can take him to him. while he investigates he decides to talk to the new man leading the place, Joseph Hall AKA the conejo. a strange and suspicious man is the one with whom he is going to talk. while they are talking he asks a few questions but everything seems normal and peaceful. before the detective left he asked one final question.

"would you tell me if someone seems to behave strangely? or if something seems wrong?"
asks the detective.

"well now that you asked detective Fisherman I had to confess that this man named Rigoberto seems to be a bit nervous lately but outside from that everything seems perfect."
said the man with a huge smile.

the detective left that day feeling closer to finding why was that woman so afraid that day they met and why he felt like if he had meet her before somewhere else. he had many thoughts on his head but his eyes were clear enough for him to see everything around of him.
after a few hours it become dark outside and once the restaurant was closed and everyone finish cleaning Rigoberto remembered that he left his laptop somewhere so while he was searching around the place he saw Martha looking at his computer and his private videos. among those videos there was one of the night in which Martha was killed. Rigoberto walks behind her and he puts his left han in her shoulder.

"that was a nice neon yellow dress you were wearing that day?"
said Rigoberto while smiling at her.

"so you knew this whole time that I was murder but you kept quiet because you were an accoplice of that horrible day."
said Martha crying.

"no, I was there but in the last minute..... I saw when he put you inside of the car so I follow because I was curious and when I saw the whole thing in the bridge I asked for a copy of his latest masterpiece..... indeed it was brilliant sadly it was ruined with your return but don't worry because the sequel would be even more artistic."
said Rigoberto with a creepy smile.

while Martha needed help the most Augusto had gone to his home already and Alexander wasn't in there either. Raul was in a date with his girlfriend. Richard was outside smoking and listening to music with his earphones on. Joseph is in his car taking Daisy to her house. there was no one to help her or that is how it seem but in the last minute Roger appear and he was looking at them. he walked slowly towards them while holding a frying pan.

"I saw it on a game, this thing is a killer. I can do it, can I do it?"
said Roger to himself.

Rigoberto takes a gun out when he notice the presence of Roger. Rigoberto looks at them with a creepy smile while he gets his phone out of his pockets and he starts to record the whole thing.

"I was a guest last time to the movie of one of the greatest artist ever, his nickname is "the craftsman" but now I would do a movie myself with two perfect volunteers, how lucky can I be?"
Rigoberto said looking like a madman, it was at that point that it was clear that he had given into madness.

it was at that very moment that there was nothing else he could lose that he decided to try it himself doing one of the many things he has seem in his favorite types of movies. it was at that moment that the three of them had to fight for their lifes no matter what with nothing else to lose when the life of each of them was in the line. but the one who had more to lose was Rigoberto because not only those two knew about his secret life but the detective was also driving in that direction feeling how his gut instinct was taking him there.

I originally wanted to make it longer like about twenty or thirty chapters and I also wanted to add more to the backstory to each of the ten main suspects. not just them but I also wanted to write more about the detective making him the second lead character of the story and also Joseph Hall AKA the rabbit was meant to have a backstory. in a few words I wanted to make the story not just about the main girl but also about every man around of her because I wanted readers to see the true selves of each character and judge if they deserve any punishment or if it wasn't good enough. I wanted all the characters to be in between good or evil. but not many people would read this story so I decided to turn it into a novella of twelve chapters.
