Venezuela—Lovelace Mansion—Morning...

Waking up from her sleep, Roberta sat up as she stretched her arms, making some pops. She then sits by the edge of the bed and rubs her eyes before reaching for something on the nightstand. Roberta grabs a small picture that shows Tyler as a child.

Roberta: *Sadly mumbles* Ty...

She then closes her eyes as she starts to remember her past self and Tyler when they were kids.

Flashback...

Diego: Hola, mi viejo amigo, ha pasado tanto tiempo. [Hello, my old friend, it's been so long.]

Diego and Catherine Lovelace, along with Mr. Cisneros, his wife, and the young child Roberta, are in a large living room sitting down. The Cisneros family visited the Lovelace mansion to visit Diego and his family. Diego and Mr. Cisneros were old and close friends.

Diego: ¿Cómo está Colombia? He oído que el país está empeorando. [How's Colombia? I've heard that the country is getting worse.]

Mr. Cisneros: *Sigh* Lamentablemente, se trata de mi viejo amigo, Colombia, y su gobierno empeora día a día. [Sadly, it is my old friend, Colombia, and its government is getting worse by the day.]

Catherine was sitting by her husband as she was holding his hand. She was in her thoughts of the growing problems of the country. She also knows the CIA's involvement in the country and Central America.

Catherine: ¿Es muy grave? [How bad is it?]

Mr. Cisneros: ¿Mala Sra..? [Bad Ms..?]

Catherine: Catherine. *Chuckles* Sé que es la primera vez que nos vemos. Es un placer conocer a un amigo de mi marido y su familia. [Catherine. *Chuckles* I know this is our first time meeting. It's a pleasure to meet a friend of my husband and his family.]

Mr. Cisneros smiles as he gives her a nod. Ms. Cisneros then spoke up.

Ms. Cisneros: Gracias; sus palabras son muy amables y atentas. Diego ha elegido una buena esposa a su lado. Se os ve muy bien como pareja.[Thank you; your words are very kind and thoughtful. Diego has chosen a good wife by his side. You two look very wonderful as a couple.]

Catherine: Gracias, señora. *Smiles* [Thank you.] *Smiles*

Diego: Cat, ¿qué tal si llevas a la Sra. Cisneros y a su hija a dar una vuelta por nuestra casa mientras mi amigo y yo charlamos? [Cat, how about you, take Ms. Cisneros and her daughter on a tour around our home while me and my friend have a talk.]

Catherine: Claro. [Sure.]

Ms. Cisneros: Vamos, cariño. [Let's go, honey.]

Roberta nods at her mother as she holds her hand, staying close. The three left the room, leaving the two men alone.
