Tania, my best friend, was found dead.

When Marco told me that my friend had died, I just couldn't  believe.  


Tania's mother asked me to stay with her that night, I accepted, that night was unforgettable we talked about Tania while we cried, she told me how Tania talked to her about me, I was Tania's only friend when I arrived in Chicago, Her The family had suffered a lot, her father abandoned her and her brother used drugs. He was in a nursing home in Texas. I never met her brother, not even by photo, it was just her and her mother.

The next day Jorge's father arrived, who is a policeman, and would be in charge of investigating Tania's death. Tania's body was being searched before being buried.

Policeman: Good morning, Mrs. Anne, I have come to deliver the results of the autopsy.

As Tania's mother read the results, many tears began to fall, she knelt down and, looking at the ground, crossed herself.

Mrs.Anne: my daughter was stabbed to death after being drugged and raped.

Policeman:I'm sorry Mrs. Anne I'll do whatever it takes to find the culprit.

I will help as much as possible, Mrs. Anne, we must find the culprit of my friend, I will go to check the security cameras of my house. I'll warn you of anything.I will return at night to accompany Mrs. Anne.

Mrs.Anne:Don't worry Rachel my son Max is coming home tonight and he can accompany me, you need to rest, last night we did nothing but cry.

I understand Mrs. Anne see you tomorrow.

While I walked home I began to remember the good times I had had with Tania. 

The first thing I did when I got home was to look for the security camera and at that moment I was stunned, Tania did come to my house, but she only looked at the door and did not ring the bell. She had a letter in her hand and she did not leave the letter under my door, that letter was not for me, where was Tania headed?

And in the evening, I called Tania's mother, she did not answer, I assumed that Tania's brother had already arrived and did not want to call again. my neighbor was a widow without children and was friends with my aunt. I went to his house and rang the bell.

Mrs. Baldwin:  Rachel, qué sorpresa, ¿está todo bien? Tu tía me dijo que vendrías si necesitabas algo...

No, Mrs. Baldwin, nothing is right, my best friend was found dead outside the city.

Mrs.Baldwin: Oh my god i'm sorry Rachel.

Thanks Mrs. Baldwin. I was wondering if you could let me check your security camera, please.

MrsBaldwin: Sure Rachel let's go this way

When Mrs. Baldwin and I were looking at the security cameras, it could be clearly seen that Tania was crying as she looked at that letter, she kept walking.

Mrs.Baldwin:  She looked so sad, you fought with her before all this happened.

We hadn't fought that day because she didn't even come into my house.

Mrs.Baldwin: This is already too weird

Yes, Mrs. Baldwin, I will go find Tania's mother to tell her everything I have seen.

Mrs.Baldwin: Rachel be careful ok?

Yes, Mrs. Baldwin, thank you for everything.
