SdR Company (in Boston), Robert's Office...

I go into my uncle's office early in the morning, it was empty. Mercedes, his secretary, said he left to settle some business in New York. I decide to get inside and settle into the space where I grew up. The place I left six years ago, when I set out in search of something I never found.

I look around, I remember when my father was leading the Security del Rey.

I sit down on the couch opposite the desk and look at my parents' photo with my Uncle Robert, taken on the day of the company's inauguration.

I always found the name ridiculous for a security company, but my father said that the whole security of the company would be like security of a king. I was only 7 when the company was founded. Twenty years have passed, I've been away for 6 years and I still find the name ridiculous.

I miss him. He died 10 years later with lung cancer, passing the direction and control of the company to my uncle. I feel my eyes to weeping when I hear knock on the door.

Yes? - I answer, wiping the tears from my face and jumping up.


Mercedes opens the door and enters:

I'm sorry to come in like this, but your uncle asked to leave these papers here. She puts the papers on his desk. Look at me and ask.

Is everything okay?


I am about to answer when, out of nowhere, the door opens and I hear a voice I recognize:

- But who do you think it is to fire employees like that ?!

I turn to see who is speaking and I become incredulous and in shock when I see her. – Just because it has a security company that is part of the jet set, this does not mean you own the world! – screams the girl who seven years ago made my world cease to exist.


Flashback On: 7 years ago ...

Nicole, I'm so sorry. – Tell me Shae

There is nothing that can i do to save her. She suffered a head trauma, it is almost impossible that she can get out of this – Shae is doctor and has been accompanying Waverly since the accident.

- Please, Shae! Do EVERYTHING that is possible! You know money is no problem, you do whatever it takes to save my Waverly. - I say, in a tone of desperation, through never ending tears .

Shae looks at me sadly and even pity, shrugs and gives a long sigh.

- Please! Whatever it takes! – I grabbed her hand as I begged.

Jeremy hugs me and tells me to take it easy and take a deep breath. Shae leaves and goes to the room where Waverly is. I push Jeremy and I follow Shae, running. Jeremy follows me.

I stope in front of the room and look out the window. My heart beat's slowly, so slowly that I feel it will stop. I see Waverly intubated, with no reaction.I open the door slowly, I hear the doctors talking to each other, stressed from side to side, and I begin to hear a high-pitched, sound that tears my heart to pieces. I look at the monitor and see a straight line, a line that seems to cut off every part of me. I become paralyzed until I feel someone pushing me:

- Jeremy, get her out of here. - I see Shae push me out of the room and Jeremy pulls me. I still have no reaction, part of me died at that moment.
