At the point they'd reached in the questioning, it was starting to feel more like an interrogation and Alaska Velazquez was beginning to feel like she was a suspect.

"We are simply asking when the last time you spoke to Samuel was?"

"And I am simply saying, I do not remember."

The stare down was intense.

"Then according to his phone records,  how can you explain this call between you and him just two hours before his suspected disappearance that lasted one minute and fourty-six seconds?"

Her heart was falling out of her chest, but all she could do was look back at the inspector and blink blankly while she tried to find an excuse for that phone call.

"I'll drop you off at the mass but I have to go and pick up Valerio so I'll join you after, okay? Save me a space." Were Alejandro's words when his sister turned to ask him why he was still in the car while she was out and adjusting her thick, black cardigan.

Once she closed the car door shut, Alejandro headed towards the house Lu and Valerio shared. He felt uncomfortable at the idea alone of being in the same room as the person who caused his sister so much unhappiness. But if Alaska could be mature about it and go about her day, why couldn't he?

The road to Valerio's was only roughly fifteen minutes from the venue of Marina's mass. Ale honked a few times till he saw the familiar brown and curly fluff of hair on his head coming out through the front doors. 

"Why can't you drive yourself by the way?" Ale asked once he was settled in the car.

"Porque amigo, I plan on getting disgustingly fucked up today." The brunette said cheekily, turning to his friend. 

"At the mass?!"

"Of course not. We're not going to the mass."

Alejandro was confused but now that he looked at him, he wasn't dressed to go the the cemetery with his coloured shirt and light jeans. 

"What? Where the hell are we going then? I left Alaska at the ceme-"

"You know the new girl, Cayetenne or Cayeteen-"

"Cayetana."

"Bien! Cayetana! She invited Lu to her house so we'll crash it. What do you say?"

"That sounds uncomfortable, bro."

"Exactly why I didn't ask Valeria to come; because of Lu. Plus, Guzman plans of sneaking out of the mass too to go to Caytenne's house."

"Valerio . . . I'm not really too sure."

As always, Valerio won the debate. He always did, even when they were kids. Before Alejandro knew it, he was ringing the doorbell of a gorgeous cliffside house. From the look of it, it was only about 20 minutes away from his own.

Alaska felt her skin crawl at the thought of Lucrecia being inside the house  with her ex boyfriend like Alejandro had mentioned in his text message. After calling her brother that she had arrived, Ale told her to wait beside his car and he'd be out in a minute.
