ASHLEE-ELIDETH MISSION IS TAKING ITS COURSE BUT NOBODY SAID SAVING FREDDIE MERCURY WAS GOING TO BE AN EASY TASK. WOULD YOU LIKE READ ON HER ADVENTURES?
Not satisfied only with one sample, I took two each one. I must take this perfect chance to do it, I didn't know when I could be in such situation, so strange that anyone didn't notice at all.
40 minutes passed. I couldn't help take Freddie's sample first. It seemed like a magnet that drove me to it. It was just normal. All the mission depended on the favorable result of that test. I watched closely the arrangement of the lines. I just saw one line. The other test was the same. Negative. Freddie wasn't infected. He was free of that fucking virus, as me. Everything put back to its place. As it should be.
I couldn't express my happiness with words. I didn't recall when I was so happy before. Although I knew I shouldn't take such a self-centered reading of it, he owed it to me that negative. My tenacity to make him understand adequacy of safe sex, having always at hand some condoms when he invariably forgot them. Despite I had doubts quite often about my ability to take charge of the mission, I worked out this trouble quite good. And it was the main reason of my landing in Freddie Mercury's life.
That triumph wiped away my constant failings and even that time when I lost my head and allowed we made it without protection. This marvellous negative diminished all those mistakes.
But there was still Joe's result left. I put Freddie's test aside and I came over to check on his boyfriend's samples. The result was different. Two lines. Joe was HIV positive.
I watched on and on at every angle. It was clear, unfortunately I didn't see doubly. My mind began to race with this eventuality.
With that result Fanelli didn't seem to me such a great boyfriend. I couldn't allow Freddie run any risk in case of a likely slip. Regretfully Joe must be history in Freddie's sentimental curriculum. After only four months he must stay as one more of his short failed relationships and not one year of love that originally was.

I felt terribly bad whenever my eyes watched those two lethal lines. I felt badly because that short-sighted pale skin guy had become a close friend for me, but the mission was above my own sentiments. Freddie's health was the first and that relationship was not useful anymore. I had to be a professional above all, I had more than ever his life in my hands.
I knew Freddie quite well at this stage. If I wanted to him leave Joe behind, then he would clutch at him with all his might. I must find a way he let him go. Before their relationship was useful, now sending him back to the States was the goal.
- So Joe got infected before Freddie.
- At least in "our history" works like this. We can't know what happened in the official history. I always thought Freddie got infected around 1979.
- What are you going to do?
- I would like Joe could play such an important role in Freddie's life, being with him till end of 1978, beginning 79.
