-Will you pay me to kill these women? What will happen if I refuse?

-Your family will die.

He gave him his most threatening look. The man was not afraid, as the boy in front of him was an eighteen-year-old boy. The anger of Oceanos was growing stronger and stronger.

-Will you do it or not?

-I'd rather you kill me than kill these innocent women.

-You're not giving me another option.

He put the gun to his head and ordered him to drive the train forward. The driver started the train's engine, followed the planned route, but when he reached the route, Oceanos grabbed the steering wheel and led him to the abandoned tracks.

-What are you doing?

-You refused my offer, but I already had a second plan in my mind.

The driver hit the brakes to stop the movement. When the sharp, sharpened knife pierced his foot and he instinctively hit the gas. Going at great speed towards the unfortunate women. The train stopped a few inches away from the women's bodies. Oceanos got off the train and waited for his father hidden.

The driver was filled with guilt and went to the police, saying he killed them trying to avoid another train, in the interrogation room he broke down and told the truth.

When he saw him sad, Oceanos' face filled with anger, Maximos, after checking the tracks, bent down and took the bloody, dead body of Alkmini in his arms to take her to a safer place. Before returning for Callisti, Oceanos took the opportunity and stole the dead body of his step sister.

Maximos had informed the police and this time did not return alone to the tracks. His daughter's body had turned to smoke.

-I'm telling you, mr. policeman, that a few minutes ago there was another victim here.

-Mr. Draganas, are you sure?

-Absolutely, why would I lie to you.

His hands were trembling as he spoke and tears were flowing.

-I believe you, he whispered as his flashlight pointed to the moving bush.

Callisti was not dead yet. She felt her head heavy and everything around her was still blurry. Oceanos' hand covered her mouth completely. Her father's wounded and trembling voice made her cry. She was alive, she wanted to shout "Dad, you are not alone, I am still here". How much she wanted to run into his arms to comfort him. She bit Oceanos' hand so hard that he couldn't hold back his scream.

The police officer who heard the scream approached as quietly as possible to the bush that had previously moved.

-Who's there? Show yourself!

Callisti wanted to scream for help as she heard the police officer's voice but she couldn't, as a wet cloth with a powerful sedative substance was placed in her mouth.

 Ocean, before the drug began to take effect, whispered softly in her ear: "You will pay dearly for this, little sister." Her eyes widened at the sound of those words. Callisti knew she was an only daughter.

 Ocean led Callisti to Dragana's toy shop. He had taken a liking to her and the toy shop was his new home. For him, it meant that he would learn more about a father who decided to abandon him before his birth and what kind of person Maximus was.

Callisti wake up   after several hours, first looking around and the place seemed familiar to her. Everything around her was so familiar to her, a smile appeared on her lips as she waited to see her father's face.
