Rafael and Julieta arrived at Adriana's house in the afternoon carrying their bags and pushing their babies in strollers.
They got to the front door and knocked on it.
The door opened and Adriana greeted them smiling and said—
—"Hey Guys! It's great to see you! Come in!"
They went inside the house and saw Adriana's baby boy Leonardo (Leo) in a bassinet.
"Thanks for letting us stay here while we look for new jobs and a new place." said Rafael.
"No problem. Stay as long as you need." said Adriana.
THAT NIGHT, they all sat together while Julieta and Adriana each held their babies and breastfed them as they talked.
"So what should we do now?" asked Julieta to Rafael.
"We need to be more cautious. We should sell once a year and switch roles every time we vet a seller."
"I can help you with that." said Adriana.
"Yeah, I was just about to ask you." said Rafael.
"I think we should sell things far away from where we live also. So we don't have to move every time." said Julieta.
"Yeah, good idea." said Rafael.
THEN SUDDENLY, THE NEXT MORNING, they all woke up from a knocking on the front door.
Adriana got up and went to the door.
She opened the door and saw the evil Policeman who threatened her before.
"Good morning." said the Policeman with an evil smile.
Adriana tried to close the door rapidly, but the Policeman held and kicked it open.
Adriana tripped and fell down from the force of the kick.
The Policeman looked into the bedroom and saw Leo in the crib.
He smirked at Adriana and said—
—"You thought that having a baby was going to save you? Well, you are sadly mistaken."
Rafael and Julieta were in the other bedroom and peeked through the crack in the door seeing the Policeman inside the house and Adriana on the floor.
Rafael and Julieta were shocked and scared by how much Larger and Stronger and much older the Policeman was.
Rafael motioned his index finger to tell Julieta to stay quiet.
Rafael then went to grab the gun that he had in the bedroom.
Then the Policeman started walking toward the baby.
Adriana ran to protect Leo yelling—
—"NOOOO!!! DON'T YOU TOUCH HIM!!"
Adriana went to attack him but the Policeman simply grabbed her arms and punched her in the face and threw her against the wall.
He went into the bedroom where Leo was and Adriana screamed loudly.
Then suddenly,—
—BANG!
Rafael had snuck behind the Policeman and shot him in the back of his head with a gun.
The Policeman dropped to the floor and was dead.
Leo, Alex and Ana began crying from the loud noise.
Rafael's whole body was trembling from the adrenaline and fear.
He stood there pointing the gun at the dead Policeman's body and saw that the Policeman was in fact dead.
Rafael dropped the gun and sat down on the ground still trembling in shock.
Adriana ran into the bedroom to Leo and saw that he was ok.
Julieta went into the bedroom and saw the dead Policeman and Rafael sitting on the floor in shock.
Julieta went to Rafael and hugged him trying to comfort him.
Rafael was so scared that he had killed a Policeman and that the Police would come searching for him and they would all be killed because of it.
Rafael started freaking out saying—
—"No no no no. Oh no Oh no! Now they're gonna come looking for him and then they're gonna kill us."
Rafael started to have a panic attack and Julieta was able to hug and calm him down.
"No they won't. We're gonna be ok." said Julieta comfortingly.
"I love you. Come on, stand up." said Julieta and she helped Rafael to stand up and she hugged him.
"I love you. I love you so much." said Rafael to Julieta.
"They are not going to find him. We're gonna get rid of him." said Julieta.
Then they went and comforted their crying babies.
Rafael, Julieta and Adriana quickly began to clean up all the blood from the bedroom.
Then they put the dead Policeman's body into a large body bag and filled it with heavy weights.
THEN, LATE AT NIGHT, they dumped the body into the sea where it sank never to be found.
They hoped.
MEANWHILE, AT THE POLICE BUILDING THAT NIGHT, DETECTIVE WATERS sat at a desk in his office and looked through files of unsolved cases folders.
He set three folders down on the table and started playing 'Eeny Meeny Miny Moe' to decide which unsolved case folder to investigate.
As he did this, he suddenly saw something out of the corner of his eye.
He looked out the window and saw a fire burning far in the distance.
He casually got up from his chair and walked out of the office.
Detective Waters and Captain Mason arrived as the house finished burning and they stood there with other Policemen waiting for it to finish burning so they could investigate.
