everything was total silence and the eyes of Martha meet the eyes of a madman, of a psychotic Rigoberto holding a gun. it was a moment of doubt and fear while they were trying to think of something. Rigoberto only needed to kill both of them and then he was free of any consequences for his actions or his depraved desires to see younger man being tortured or killed. 
no one might know this but when Rigoberto was a kid he used to like other males but his mother knew so his mother used to beat him up until he was bleeding from his back. after so long he stopped thinking on another males but also he started to grow a strange desired to see other males being "punish" so when he found out about the secret business of which Richard was part he asked to be introduce to them. he mostly buys the snuff films or sometimes he has seen the whole thing happening. he has also being part of some of the secret meetings of some important members of the group.
now Rigoberto is in front of them thinking about his miserable life which has bring him no more than pain and the only good thing in this shithole are those videos, the same videos for which he is about to lose everything that he has left, his freedom.

"this isn't how this was supposed to happen.... all I wanted was this to be kept a secret but now I have no choice but to make sure you all are kept quiet."
said Rigoberto with anger.

Roger runs towards Rigoberto and he hits him with the frying pan in the head once. Rigoberto falls unconscious. Martha walks towards Roger and she hugs him. the detective Darwin Fisherman enters in the back door holding a gun.

"sorry but who are you?"
said Martha looking worry at the detective.

"excuse me, I am a policeman and I had the feeling that something was going to happen here. I had been investigating since the murder disguised as accident of Dolores Mendoza.... she asked for my help before her murder so I am here to investigate."
said the detective holding the gun and looking around of him.

"sir can you help us. this man seems to be part of a criminal organization and he tried to killed us."
said Roger nervous and shaking.

while they were looking at the detective Rigoberto stands up holding the gun and he aims at Martha. the detective aims at Rigoberto. there is a moment of silence.

"throw that gun at the floor now.... do it now slowly.... don't play with me because I am not playing."
said the detective looking at Rigoberto with his hand shaking.

Rigoberto shots and Roger gets in front of Martha receiving the bullets. the detective shots at Rigoberto. both of them are shooting until they run out of bullets. Rigoberto tries to run away while dragging a leg and bleeding a lot. the detective takes a second gun out and he aims at Rigoberto and he shots blowing up Rigoberto's brains. he falls on the floor dead. the detective hides his second gun and he looks at Roger whom is bleeding a lot. the detective calls 911 while Martha is holding Roger whom is in a really bad shape, his back is completely covered of blood. 

"you need to be strong. your brother needs you, please be strong."
said Martha worry and crying at the same time.

"don't worry...... please trust in the cop, he.... I remembered that he was the one investigating..... he wanted to solve your case when you were murder.... he is honest and a good person.... you can trust on him."
said Roger in a voice so soft that sounded more like a whisper.

"I can't replace the perfect sidekick."
said Martha while looking around of her trying to find something that can be helpful.

"I guess I was suppose to die, unlike you I didn't had future or salvation."
said Roger whispering.

Roger looks away while he feels his blood turning cold and his soul leaving his body slowly. at the last minute he smiled and he closed his eyes. he died before the ambulance could arrive. 

"that was a cruel and dark night in which two humans die even when both were equally broken one of those two was more human. two deaths in a restaurant while it was closed and the fact that one of the victims had evidence in his computer, evidence of a huge criminal organization. it seems unlikely that the restaurant is going to be open again or atleast for a while it would stay closed. now there is something that become even more suspicious is the fact that the day after the incident inside of the restaurant one of the waitresses was reported missing, Daisy a therty-six years old woman whom didn't had anywhere else to go after losing her career was barely surviving as a waitress and she was missing and no one knew nothing about her whereabouts.... even more scary or surprising was that a week later after her disappearence her body was found brutally murder under a bridge. was it a coincidence that she died just the same way that Martha was killed? or was it not."
said the Narrator.

at the moment Richard is walking inside of a bakery to buy some bread and he looks at Joseph Hall who seems to have been waiting for him. Richard tries to pretend that he didn't saw him and he turns around, just before he could run he is stopped by Joseph who is smiling in a friendly way.

"don't ptetend to be stupid kid because you are not."
said Joseph with a terrifying gaze.

"why? what do you want from me? the restaurant is closed, probably forever."
said Richard scared trying to find any excuse to run.

"you know, I know, we both know that we are part of the same organization, "the inner desire". does that name sound familiar to you? well congratulations I am the only man who you didn't put in front of the police in a silver plate who knows about you and wants to help you out.... before we get into questions I will make the long story short.... I would help you to be out of the organization without anyone going behind you nor any consequences for your betrayal, if you want to know why? simple I am trying to become the head of the organization and if things get complecated I would need someone from the outside to turn me invisible so I don't get killed."
said Joseph with a smile.

"ok, that sounds simple and perfect but first I want to know what happen to Daisy..... I saw her getting inside of your car that day."
said Richard scared.

"well if you want me to be honest I never get my hands stained of blood, there is always someone else doing it and if you want to know why it is simple because I am just a businessman not a psycho. that woman was victim of one of the few people whom actually scared me inside of this organization.... she was victim of the craftsman..... you know people like me mostly don't care but every time that a woman falls on his hands I feel sorry for them because that man believes in his art and he can be truly scary at times."
said Joseph with a broken voice and his hands shaking.

"ok, I would accept your proposal."
said Richard while crying.

in the meanwhile Alexander is in his home drinking some soda while he is reading the bible. he stops in a page and he starts to cry. it seems like the bible reminder him of something that happen in his past and is hard for him to forget it. he can't forget his past which is doing so much damage to him. someone knocks on the door and he opnes the door. he sees Augusto in front of him. Alexander asks him if he needs anything and Augusto enters without saying anything. the both of them sit on a sofa looking at each other with an awkward silence.
in the meantime Martha is in her home with some cousins and among them is Raul. they all seem to be talking and having a great time. it was the birthday of one of them. for a moment Raul gets out of the party to answer a call from his girlfriend. Martha receives a message from Richard. she reads the message and a few tears fall from her eyes. she walks out of the house and she walks towards Raul.

"what happen to that kid that you told me that was going to help you? I mean after the incident with Rigoberto you had been a bit strange."
said Raul with a friendly smile.

"I enter on your room the other day and I saw all this handmade objects, I didn't know you liked crafts? after all you are always silent about your own things."
said Martha with curiosity.

"didn't I told you? maybe I forgot to said anything about that but it doesn't matter. well indeed I love to make things sometimes I used wood or clay but is one of the most relaxing and artistic hobbies I had ever tried and I am sure you would also love it if you give it a try."
said Raul with a calm voice.

"by the way do you remember the color of the dress that I was wearing the twenty-second? I forgot about that dress."
said Martha looking at the mouth of Raul.

"if my memory serves me right it was orange.... no, a bright yellow. yes it was a wonderful neon yellow as bright as it could be."
said Raul whie looking at the sky.

"how do you know the color of my dress if you didn't pick me up that day neither did you put a single foot inside of the restaurant and you can't deny anything now because that was the only time I used that dress."
siad Martha with a broken voice and a teary face.

"when you started asking about the crafts was when I notice that you already had an idea of who I am. is truth that some know me as the craftsman but is there a reason to hate the art? all I do is for the art and in order to relax."
said Raul with a emotionless face.

"so in a few words you are admitting to be a sadistic serial killer. do you had an idea of what type of monster are you? do you understand the pain that you had caused to others?"
asks Martha in disbelieve.

"I am no monster, I hate that word."
said Raul looking away like if it was nothing to talk about the things he does in secret.

"why? why did you chose me? we are blood, family. doesn't that word had any meaning for you."
asks Martha completely confused.

"I will be honest, because you didn't did what I asked you to do. you didn't took your future serious and instead you chose you behave like a whore.... I woman with no future doesn't deserve to live."
said Raul looking at her furious.

"that was the reason why you killed me?"
asks Martha on her knees crying.

"yes that is the reason why I the craftsman chose you as an example for my finest masterpiece but here you are still alive. I suppose some force liked you even better than me to let you live."
said Raul while laughing in a friendly way.

"you are a killer who is going to jail."
said Martha while feeling pain and looking at his smile.

"that is the less friendly thing someone had ever said to me on my face, but you are wrong I am not going to jail and you young lady, you are going to die a third time."
said Raul with confidence.

Raul takes a gun out and he shots at Martha who falls on the ground badly wounded and Raul runs away. everyone on the party gets out to look at Martha who is in the ground bleeding a lot while Raul is in a car driving away. 
after that incident Raul was a wanted man who disappear like a ghost to never been seen or at least that was the impression that he wanted to give. no one could find him and he was hiding trying to find a way to end what he already started while Alexander and Augusto were at Martha's side trying to make sure that she was safe. while everything was in chaos Richard had a mental struggle, one part of him wanted to stay and help Martha but another part of him wanted to take advantage of the moment to run away from all this hellhole but his guilt was stronger this time and he also stayed at Martha's side while Raul was capture by the police. when he finally had the opportunity to talk to Martha he told her everything about him, he told her how is that he ended up in the middle of that organization and Martha forgive him allowing him to run away and with guilt and pain Richard left but he left a notebook to Martha with important information about the organization and everything that he knew about "the craftsman" who was the person that Martha wanted to be stop more than anyone else.
in the meanwhie the detective Darwin Fisherman was working in the case. in the last month he had already capture at least forty-two man working in this organization, some in high levels and some sidekicks but among all the people that he had taken to jail no one knows anything about Raul, of the forty-two man only one had ever seen the face of Raul and not even him knows his real name, they all know him for two things; the mask and the nickname "the craftsman" but there is nothing else they know about him. for what the detective Fisherman has investigated most of the people working for that organization is so scared of him that they tried to keep a distance from him. he is known for being a psychotic man who attacks on anger those whom disrespect what he calls art. 
so many things that the detective has found about this serial killer but none of the clues can lead him to that man. it seems like even when Raul was around so many people he found the way to stay invisible for most of the time. and now is time for the detective to turn him visible once more before that dangerous man hurts someone else. 
the detective receives a call from Raul asking him to take good care of his cousin.

"why? if you want to surrender I would make sure that you have a good time on jail, but if your call is for another reason like letting you run away then you are wrong because I would make sure that you die on a prison."
said the detective while sweating.

"no that is not the reason why I call..... to be honest I am going to disappear, I won't come back for her so I would let her live..... this is the last you would ever know from me."
said Raul with a tone of voice so serious that anyone could feel shivers.

the call ended and the detective screams in anger and he breaks everything on his office. the helplessness that he is feeling has no description. while he was in an attack of rage he was stop by his colleagues whom tried to help him to stay calm.
