Life can be good and bad at the same time, but can also be mysterious when the questions we ask remain unanswered. Lini's life has not always been easy, abusive parents, a big post traumatic stress due to the violence of her parents. In the early 90s, she met her husband, Josh at a roadside checkpoint. He was a police officer and that day he had arrested Lini for running a stop sign. They got married and had a little girl they named Agnes. She had to train hard to be a great wrestler, Josh encouraged her even if she had moments of doubt. He was his number one supporter. Everything seemed to be wonderful in their lives, until that famous evening of May 14, 1997.

Flashback : May 14th 97'

She was off that night, taking care of Agnes' meals and her own while Josh went to get some donuts after work. She was quietly watching TV, sitting on the sofa with her cup of tea, looking for a good TV program to watch. She stopped at the news channel and listened carefully to the news.

" A plainclothes policeman was killed along with a woman and her 4-year-old baby who were knocked down by the shooter who fled in a black van. The policeman arguing with a man just before the fact and was shot just minutes later, according to witnesses..." The reporter says...

At the time, she receives a call from the hospital in Houston, a man who has the device, she begins to stress by seeing what she heard on TV and there by chance, the hospital calls her ..

"Miss Mcclay?" Said the doctor who is at the end of the line.

"Y..Yes it's me..." Lini replied with a trembling voice.

"You should come, madam..." The doctor answered, she is not able to say it on the phone..

She quickly hung up, took Agnès in her arms to take her with her to the hospital. As soon as she arrives, she is received by the doctor, her white coat, her notepad in her hand. Lini knows that Josh is the policeman who was killed but she doesn't want to believe him. She holds her daughter in her arms, tears begin to flow down her cheeks.

"I'm sorry ma'am...I couldn't save him..." the doctor said with a soft voice and full of compassion. Lini's world collapsed in a second, her husband died because of a madman. His daughter will never see her father again, whom she loved so much.

At his funeral, family and friends came to say a final goodbye. It was raining that day, Lini hadn't slept much since Josh died. His colleagues gave him a guard of honor for his service, he was much loved and respected by his colleagues. The American flag that was placed on his casket was given to Lini. Josh was always there for her, he was her world, the man of her life and now she has to live without him, wondering what life has in store for her...

Two years later, she finally managed to be in the wrestling federation she wanted, the WWF. She's been doing her work here for a few weeks and she's already had a few colleagues talking and Vince is very happy with the work she's doing on screen. But also, it creates tensions among women, she heard that the people who take care of the stories want to put her forward but how? That is the question. She's sitting in her locker room in her outfit, staring sadly at a photo of her, Josh. For two years, the police have been looking for the perpetrator of the murder but have no leads. Two years of fighting for Josh to remember, Josh was killed along with two other people by a heartless man. A tear runs down her cheek thinking that the culprit will never be found.

"I miss you terribly..."
