"Are you crazy? do you know what he does to rats?" Sòfia exclaims After taking a while to process the question that nick just posed
"but he wouldn't ever find out that you're an informant to us" nick said shrugging his shoulders
"You americanos are loco I swear, papa finds out everything" she exclaims once again
"But we'd protect you under witness protection and you'd be immune from any charges that your dad and his friends may receive"
"I don't care, It's not worth me putting my life on the line" she says, folding her arms together and furrowing her face
"It's up to you, just give me a ring if you change your mind" he hands her a card before making his way back into his office
Sòfia watched him, fascinated by how laid back and calm he was. She examined the card that he gave her
"Nick Mara huh?" she mutters quietly "Miss Lòpez, you're free to go now" an officer says causing her attention to be drawn away from the card and onto the officer
"Gracias" she smiled, taking her identification from his hand and exiting the police station
On her walk home, all that was on her mind was the question she was asked
Nick's words spiralled around in her head
Was she evil to even be considering it? I mean before anything he was still her father
But was it more in the biological sense or had he actually filled his role as dad?
I mean, financially he was there, He showered them with gifts with the latest toys and clothes straight off the market.
But every time a tragedy hit Such as the tragedy that was her Mother's death, Sòfia found herself confiding in her older brother Marco the only one who seemed to be Sharing her loss.
She hardly ever saw Her father after the weeks that followed her mother's funeral
Her death was ruled as a murder and the killers were arrested.
Though, guilt overpowered her when she thought about how many families had lost their fathers or mothers at the hands of her father
She could only empathise with their loss as she too knew how heartbreaking it is losing a parent.
But, did she really have it in her to play a part in his demise? To rid the world of her last remaining parent?
"Snap out of it Sòfia" she mutters, Slapping her head with her palm trying to rid herself of these conflicting thoughts
she'd finally made her way home safely and slipped off her shoes
Her house wasn't much, but she was content knowing that not one dollar of her father's money went towards it
She saved for months For it and it seemed to have become her safe haven.
The only place in the city where she was free from Alejandro and his grasp on Medellín.
Which had gotten her thinking; was the peaceful Medellín Nick was proposing really achievable?
Is there really a world where Alejandro Lòpez seized to exist?
Pulling out the card once again, her finger grazes over the numbers on the card
"You can do this" she mutters to herself her hands shaking as she began punching in the numbers on the card into her phone.
Taking a deep breath, she places the phone to her ear and waits
after about two rings, someone picks up
"Hello Nick Mara here how can I help you?"
