Until finally!

“Let's see, take the soup, for mom's sake, let's see…” the doorbell at Lucia's house sounds uncontrollably.

“I’m coming! I'm coming!” Lucia was feeding her little ones, when she opens the door, her face pales, as if she had seen a ghost, Christopher was in front of her door.

“What are you doing here?” he stretches out her arm, covering the door, to prevent her from passing.

“Love, let me in, I want to talk to you, you don't know how much I need you, I want us to go away from here, wherever dear, wherever” Christopher is dejected, his tired face reflects the stress he carries behind his back.

Lucia stares at him, she thinks twice to let him in, however, she ends up opening the door completely, he pounces on her and gives her a hug, he kisses her passionately, although she is doubtful, she does not stop reciprocating his kiss.

“Lucia, prepare what you and the children need, the basics, we are going by land to Panama, it will be two days of travel, but I know we will resist it, there we have everything to be happy”.

“Christopher. I don't understand why we must run away, it's better that we wait for the situation with Amanda to be resolved, and so we can leave in peace, don't you think it's better that way?” Lucia sits next to her, caresses her face, she really loves him, but she's not sure that he loves her, and she doesn't want to leave everything behind as if he were running away from her.

“Why not Lucia! you do not understand? We must go, with what we have, understand once and for all” he gets up and begins to walk anxiously around the room, that attitude made Lucia begin to suspect him.

“Do you have something to tell me? Is there something you haven't told me yet? You know you can count on me, I'm your partner, practically now I'm your wife, we have two children, I simply can't run away with you without knowing the truth, tell me please, what's going on?” Lucia's words threshed Christopher's heart, but he wasn't sure he could fully trust her.

“No, I don't know what you mean” Christopher begins to sweat, although he was a mythomaniac, with Lucia he was not very good at telling lies.”

“Yes, if you know what I mean and I want you to tell me the whole truth, otherwise forget that the children and I exist” Lucia was determined.

“There's nothing to believe, in two days I'll pick you up, I want you to be ready, do you understand?” Christopher approaches her and takes her by the jaw in a threatening tone.

“Well, I'm not going to go with you, and do what you want! have you understood?”

window, he enters very cautiously and in less than five minutes he places a GPS under the truck, he wanted to make sure, that if he fell asleep while she waited for him and he left, she was completely sure of where she was going to be.

Once again Carlos waits for him from his car, he didn't mind not sleeping, not showering, not doing anything but chasing him, during that night Cristopher didn't go out anymore, Carlos managed to fall asleep for three hours, but his GPS confirmed that his prey was still At home, however, he no longer slept and I wait, and as if fate were giving him signs, the light in the garage came on very early, it was six am, it was barely dawn and Christopher was already on his way out.

Carlos waited for him to take a little distance and went after him, Cristopher goes through an ATM, and then waits for a department store to open in the city, while inside Carlos continues to chase him and realizes that Cristopher is buying a shovel, some elastic bands, and a number of things as if he were going to do field work, something that made him very suspicious, however, he let him finish shopping, when he was loading things in his truck, to Unfortunately for Carlos, a tire on his car is punctured and he cannot continue chasing him.

Frustrated, he hits his steering wheel and is remorseful, although he had the GPS, it was not the same if he followed him directly, although it only took him a few minutes to change the tire, his cell phone was now without a battery, at that moment the idea of follow him.

On the way to his apartment, he passes by Lucia's house, he just wants to talk to her again, maybe she knows something, he didn't lose hope of having help to find Amanda. So, he gets out of his car and rings for him, a few minutes later, a newly woken Lucia comes out, her face was tired, her eyes were clouded by a couple of dark circles.

“What are you doing here Carlos? I had told you not to come back to my house.”

“I must talk to you; things are getting out of control with Christopher”

“Talk to the police, what are you coming for? What makes you think that I can help you?”

“I know, I know that you can help me, look Lucia, if Christopher has something to do with Amanda's disappearance, they will also go against you and they could even accuse you of complicity”.

“Don't be ridiculous, they're not going to accuse me of anything, I have nothing to do with it and I have no idea what he's doing, so get out of here” Lucia tries to close the door in his face, but he pushes her away.

“I put a GPS on him, this morning I followed him, and he went to the department store in the city and bought several strange things, including a shovel.

“Is seriously?! That sounds like something out of a movie, a shovel very surely to bury Amanda's corpse!” the latter was said ironically.

“Well, Lucia makes sense, who denies that he has kidnapped her and is still alive and he wants to kill her? Don't lend yourself to that anymore, please” When Carlos tells her this last thing, she feels a chill run through her. What if he was right about her? and because she is blind because of the love she feels for Christopher, she is covering up a crime.

“It's alright, it's alright! Go on and tell me what we must do agg” Lucia, resigned, opens the door with a single slap and behind her is Carlos.

“Keep sit down”

“Lucia tell me, do you have a relationship with him again?”

“Yes, if I have it, we're supposed to leave the country tomorrow, we're going to do it by land, I don't even know why I'm telling you, I wouldn't have to trust you either” she takes out two cups of coffee and offers one to Carlos

“I don't know if I can trust you either, but I'm desperate for Amanda to show up and I have a feeling that it's Christopher who knows about her”.

“Honestly, I don't know what to do or think, I'm too confused, I want to go with him, but at the same time I want to get away from his presence, I don't want to know anything else about all this, neither about him, nor about Amanda, nor about this relationship Not at all, I want to go away with my children from this place”.

“I understand you, Lucia, but it will be the last effort, you are the only person who can help me find out if he has Amanda. Do you have a phone charger? I ran out of battery, I put a GPS on the truck, but I couldn't chase anymore.”

Lucia nods and gets up and hands him the charger, he plugs in his phone for a few minutes to turn it on again.

“You're crazy! a gps? It wouldn't even have occurred to me, but okay, that's a really good Idea.”

“But here it tells me that an hour ago I crossed the outskirts of the city, it seems that it is in a place where there is no coverage, because the GPS was parked at a fixed point, we would have to go there”.

“Why don't we do it with the police Carlos?”

Lucia was starting to panic seeing Christopher's possible location.

“Well, because they don't have evidence against him and here, we are all suspects to the same degree, including you”.

“I am one of the most suspicious, I don't know what we should do” Now she's a nervous wreck, the mere idea that Christopher killed Amanda gave her chills.

“It's simple, I need to go home to rest and shower a bit, for now the GPS will move back to either his house or yours, I need you to convince him that they can't leave tomorrow, give me two more days of Time to follow him and be sure of what he's doing, okay? We can't let him get away.”

“I'll try to do everything possible” although Lucia doubts it, this time she was sure that she wanted to help Carlos.

“But please, don't let yourself be manipulated again Lucia, that man is not good, he is very bd, if he hurt Amanda, it is also sure that he can do it to you, please.”

She looks at him with doubt, she has a lump in her throat and her eyes are full of tears.

“If he is guilty, then he must pay for it, I couldn't sleep in peace knowing that I'm with someone that evil”.

“Thank you Lucia, as soon as you confirm that they couldn't leave, I'll keep chasing him”.
