At the same moment he leaves the hospital Pedro takes the bus towards the city of São Paulo, using some change that Devil Vulture gave him to turn around, Maria was her mother's older sister and chose isolation in a small farm. Located outside the urban center. Ideal place to hide from the police who should be looking for you by now. He was well received by his aunt, who had not seen him for many years, knew little about him and his brothers, he asked about his sister and was not even aware of the death of his brother-in-law.

 Whom he never liked because of the thug life he led, well, there was a big reason to remain anonymous and not make her aware of what had happened to her, as she would never accept a criminal at home.The explanation given was that she was looking for better job opportunities, and she agreed to stay. In fact, it became impossible to find work after his arrest and now he  has become a fugitive, the way was to work.

Doing odd jobs here and there, hoping things will get better. After walking around a lot, he found a place as a delivery man in the pizzeria. In the establishment of a stingy old man to the point of not offering work without a formal contract, only on the basis of odd jobs, as he had no other perspective, he accepted on the spot. A week later, he receives the mission to go to the main avenue of the city, which receives five different names for each kilometer walked. For not knowing the place well, the girl who organizes the deliveries explains:

As he had no other perspective, he accepted on the spot. A week later, he is assigned to go to the city's main avenue, which is given five different names for each kilometer traveled. Because she doesn't know the place well, the girl who organizes the deliveries explains:

 —Do you understand boy?

 — For your government, I'm not a boy!

Complicated, but not impossible, he gets on the bike and leaves to make the delivery, has a license and thanked God that he had left at home on the passage to the hill on the day of the kidnapping and when he was arrested, no documents were with him. The residence where he was to deliver was located on the avenue, facing the sea, on the twenty-sixth floor. He hates elevators, but he had no other way out, if he goes up the stairs, the pizza arrives cold to the customer, in addition to the terrible tiredness in his legs.

A few minutes, and the elevator door opens directly opposite is the number described on the delivery note, good, I wouldn't have to go looking down the hall. When the doorbell rings, the door opens and an unexpected character appears, which he never imagined seeing again anytime soon. In front of him was the beautiful girl with yellow eyes. With her wavy brown hair and velvety skin. He is paralyzed, many thoughts running through his head.

And now if she called the police and reported him? She, in turn, also recognizes him and takes a big scare, thought about the possibility of being a new kidnapping, wanted to close the door and run out into the luxurious apartment and tell him that there was a kidnapper at the door. That he was trying to kidnap you. But an inexplicable force held her in the same place, she couldn't move, she couldn't move. I just wanted to stand before that serious look that she had learned to admire so much.

Lana lived in Rio, but went to spend a few days at her aunt's house. In the city of Santos to try to forget everything that had lived long ago, the idea was to stay there for only a short time, but she liked the company of her aunt. And cousin Ana so much that she decided to transfer the college and continue to live in Santos until she finished her studies. In the face of all the trauma suffered by the daughter, her parents were not opposed to this decision. But, as it turns out, everything is part of the plans of destiny for them to meet again and start living a new story.

The two remain paralyzed in front of each other for a few moments, their eyes blind and do not allow them to perceive anything else around. He is trapped inside the look of that girl with whom, from the first moment he saw her, he felt in love. Even in such contradictory circumstances he could not forget those yellow eyes, glued to hers when he tried to force her to speak his name.

Pressing her against the wall, when she fiercely kicked him and he hurt her arm. She, in turn, remembered the time when the policeman took off her mask and she could see who it was. He saw that it was the boy who read newspapers every morning.The one for whom she longed to know and exchange a few words with him. These, thoughts last only a few seconds, he handed her the pizza box and received the corresponding amount.

Soon Ana arrives and cuts the mood, they are impelled to return to reality. Lana thanks in a gentle, gentle voice, like the softest breath of a cool breeze on spring mornings. Then he closes the door slowly so that he is gone, as he seems immobilized in front of him. In fact, her retreat woke him up, he went down and returned to work, but unable to believe what he saw. Ana was much younger, but she wasn't silly and she understands everything, and she keeps asking questions:

 — What strange atmosphere was that between you and the pizza delivery man, Lana?

 —What climate?

 — Do you think I didn't understand?

When I approached you seemed to be frozen in front of each other

 — Your impression, press

 — Stop trying to fool me, Lana, I am no longer a child!

 — If it really isn't, then stop acting like it's

 — Tell me soon, cousin, where do you meet?

 — Can you explain to me why you are so curious?

 — It is strange that in such a short time here you meet such a beautiful pizza delivery man

 — And why not?

 — Because he never came to deliver pizza here and you only go out with us, you don't have any friends outside, with strangers

 — I don't know him and that's it, let's forget about this conversation!

 Lana avoids letting Ana know about these truths about her and the one who in a way is still a stranger, because she is not sure if she will still cross her path. And, even if such a coincidence happens, he has no idea what might happen, he just knows that he is definitely too involved, he does not leave his thoughts, he does seem passionate. Meanwhile, Pedro spends the day at work and with each new delivery he has the distinct impression that when the door is opened it will be she who will answer it, the night comes and with her the loneliness between four walls, in her aunt's house she had nothing to be distracted from.

 Not even TV, sound, computers or cell phones, and at the moment she was unable to buy any of these objects. The way was to dine alone, as his aunt used to sleep early, and then try to get out of bed after an exhausted day. The apartment was located on the twentieth floor of the Palace, a thirty-story development, the noblest area of ​​the city. From the top you could see the sea. And the cool night breeze blowing your hair hard through the open window of your room. Looking down to see cars and people in miniatures, walking along the boardwalk, passing the illuminated avenue. Usually on weekends they go down and mix in the crowd, he likes to be there because it inspires him to write his poems, he already has a book almost ready and plans to publish soon.

Now that he started to live his first passion, it becomes easier to write them. During her sleep she relives the nightmare of the kidnapping, she was transported in a dream to the moment when the gang invades the place and takes her hostage. The entire trajectory traveled to the favela from which he often heard his mother say that no good people live there. The cold-blooded death of those men right in front of him and the abductor's surrender. This nightmare became part of his daily life. He dreamed the same things every night, he became a psychosis that even the constant visits to the psychologist did not help, for that reason he would be there, trying to overcome all that.

Her parents and younger brother visited her periodically and received support from friends she made in college, the moments of terror at least made her mature and see that she needed to interact. He was unable to sleep properly, as many memories filled his mind. And when sleep came, they turned into nightmares. He relived all the action of the kidnapping, the deaths he practiced, saw Lana being taken by force and the death threats made to him by Negro Pitch dark. The fight they had and the instant they used Slightly weapon to kill him and his cronies and then surrender.

He wakes up, panting, gets up, drinks water and returns to bed, in a few minutes he is back to nightmares, now he finds himself in the prison. His arrival and the menacing, looks Eliezer and his ironies, the fight and the knockout of the disaffected, the flight and the return to freedom. It, seems that somehow his mind created a retrospective of everything he lived and made him see something about it, it was all worth it.

Maybe meeting Lana who somehow brought her hope, through the true love that she once dreamed of finding. The escape alert was issued a few hours later and an endless search was carried out throughout the region. Military intelligence informants passed on information on clues that would lead the authorities in pursuing the two fugitives. As usual Pedro buys and reads the newspaper very early, before starting work. It was customary to be well informed of all events in the country, and of the latest news in the city of Rio. In addition, he kept in touch with his mother and brothers through social networks and by phone, now that he received his first salary.

And he bought a modern cell phone with all the necessary resources to maintain good communication. Aware that the investigations were progressing in Rio and that the police could look for him at the relatives' house and because he did not want to cause problems to his aunt, he decided to rent another place. He goes to live in a neighborhood on the outskirts, without giving his aunt any idea where he would go and is more protected.

His suspicions are fulfilled, months later he is informed that the police visited Maria's residence, but she had the cadence to deny about her stay there. Pedro knows he will never have peace he needs to find a way to get them out of his tracks. Remember that Devil Vulture offered you help if you needed it. The cell phone number was written down on paper and kept in the wallet all the time. When he calls and is answered, he immediately tells his friend about the plan he devised to confuse the police and gain total freedom, the drug dealer who also remained well hidden and had the same intentions to live freely.

He agreed with Pedro's macabre idea, and took all the necessary steps to make everything happen as soon as possible and as planned. The, plan was that two bodies would be found carbonized machine guns inside a vehicle near Baixada Fluminense, they should have the same physical posture as Pedro and Devil Vulture. Personal documents should only be partially burned in order to allow forensics to identify them as being the two fugitives.

And that way they would be believed to be dead, the plan was good and the drug dealer arranged for men to send terror around the lowlands and fight an alleged war between rival factions. During the imaginable dispute over drug points, they took two bodies chosen at the IML, where there were people connected to the drug dealer. With characteristics similar to planned. And put it in a vehicle, machine-gunned and charred only part of it. Especially the faces to prevent easy identification. They left several other dead men brought in from the morgue to suppose they were murdered during the feud.

They were all machine-gunned, and those who used it for disguise kept half of the documents, kept in their pockets and spread the clues that the scientific police needed to confirm the death of the two fugitives. Everything in order, the police are called to contain the violence caused by the rivalries of extreme groups of the traffic. Upon realizing the arrival of the military, everyone flees and leaves the two bodies inside the partially charred car. One sitting in the driver's seat and the other in the passenger seat.

 Everything worked as expected, and it could only be so, since in the middle of the investigation there were people working for the bandit. The death of the fugitives was reported and now they were definitely free, they would no longer be the target of investigations. But there was still something left to do so that everything would finally be perfect. The exchange of documentation, new names, a different identification from the old one the dealer took action, with money, bribes and pressure he got everything he needed.

Original birth records, prepared in a notary public, signed by an authentic judge and notary, all new documents were prepared and sent to him in a few days, and freedom finally came true. The first step taken was to acquire a loan from his friend. Giving you guarantees that you would pay all the debt in installments and without involvement in dirty business, which was accepted. As the head of the drug trade remained active, but it was agreed that Pedro should stay away.

The, borrowed money was used to buy a property in a neighborhood far from the center, but in a place where there were no traffickers. Then he brought his mother and brothers to live with him in the new house. Away from the hills and favelas of Rio, where death passes through the alleys and violence runs rampant through the streets. While his younger siblings, study and his mother. Takes care of the house he continued his job as a pizza delivery man, but now with a better salary. Fixed and with all labor rights, as he changed jobs and boss. Since he went to make that delivery and came face to face with the kidnapped young woman, he never came back there, several orders for pizzas were made to the same address.

 But he passed the mission on to other couriers and avoided the reunion, as he feared being denounced by her. the authorities.  Six months have passed since they last saw each other and he cannot forget that beautiful face. The delicate voice, completely different from the tough kid who kicked his leg on the day of the kidnapping, and which graces his heart. Now that he is free of all accusations and even his name has been changed from Pedro to Roberto, he took courage and decided to go and see her again.

He asked the attendant to inform him if any request came from such an address, as he needed to make deliveries to those bands, to resolve something personal. And he received a promise from her that he would pass on the information to her. That moment was special for Lana, who for six long months called the same pizzeria. And he made continuous requests to see if the handsome black-eyed bandit who bewitched him appeared again at his door, but to no avail. The days, weeks passed and the anguish of not being able to see him was increasing.

Tired of asking for the pizzeria delivery service in order to see the man who won her heart, she struggled to forget him and went on looking for new ideals. But that was not the purpose of destiny from the beginning, but to unite them. So, on a troubled weekend. With many deliveries and an important appointment in the late afternoon.

 Pedro, who is now called Roberto Farias, is notified by the attendant about an order that should be delivered exactly at the address he requested to be the delivery man and without wasting any time he will attend the call. And when you arrive in front of that thirty-story building, you rise to the number twenty. In the elevator, take a deep breath to contain the emotion.

When I pressed the bell, I felt his hand trembling, nervousness is visible. Who appears to attend is Ana, Lana cousin, and he is disappointed, looks behind her in the hope of being able to find the beautiful girl with gold eyes, But he finds nothing in his observations and the one who stood before him perceives his demand, and explains, while paying and receiving the order:

— She is not at home at the moment

 —  Who she?

 — Ah, stop being ridiculous, it is clear in your look that I wanted my cousin who was here to answer you!

 — Okay, girl, you got it right. Where she went?

 — He's off to college, he won't be home until later

 — But today is Saturday

 — So, you fool, it's college, there's a direct class! If you're so interested in her, why don't you call her? Because I don't have the number

  — Okay, wait a second ...

 Ana knew how important it was for the two to see each other again. During these six months without Roberto showing up. She closely followed the sadness of her cousin and the interest she showed in seeing him, so much so that she called the pizzeria incessantly, asking for the service, simply so that he could deliver it, however, it was not successful. Now Ana has managed to locate the pizza delivery man who so impressed Lana.

 And she would give him her phone number, through which they could talk and finally see her happy. He passed on the information to the boy and hoped that everything would work out, he feels that something very strong connects these two and he wants to be in the audience when they are together. He wants to see them living a great love. Roberto leaves and hours later Lana arrives and receives from Ana the news that the boy from the pizzeria would have appeared and was happy with the news:

— Swear, cousin? So, what did they talk about?

— Remember what you said to me one day? Curiosity kills!

— Please tell me soon, did he ask for me?

— Let me see! No!

— Cousin, I swear that if you continue to irritate me I will kill you!

— Okay, calm down, it was just a joke!

— So, tell me, I'm already angry!

— Yes, he asked for you, you bore!

— Really, swear?

 — Of course, he stood there at the door with a silly face looking over my shoulders, trying to see if he saw you inside

— And what else, come on, tell me everything that happened?

— See, after that I'm the curious and desperate!

— Hurry up, what the hell!

— I realized he was looking for you and said you weren't home

— Did you give him my number? Oh my God, will he call? Wow, now I got even more nervous!

— Do you think I was wrong in what I did?

— Of course not, cousin, I am very grateful for everything, I knew how much I spent months looking for him

— True, despite always denying everything to me, aren't you a cousin?

But I knew and even after he stopped calling the pizzeria, I kept ordering, to see if he would show up here

  — Thank you, cousin, now wait to see if he calls me

 It was night, tired of studying the subjects of the course of letters in college, area that ended up choosing, contrary to the expectations of the parents, but that they decided to agree in order not to contradict their true dreams. From one day to becoming a renowned writer, she lay down and, looking at the plaster-covered ceiling, she went back in time, when suddenly the phone rang, and the voice on the other side identifies herself, beginning a conversation that started at dawn.

 Out the subject in question concerns everything that lived there. Since the kidnapping, where they met, until the present moment, she wants to know the reasons that led him to commit such a crime. And let him know the countless times she has been watching him from afar. He explains everything, the reasons that led him to make such a mistake, how he managed to escape from prison, he just did not reveal the change of identity, because it is something very compromising and still does not have solid confidence in it.

 It was late, it was after three in the morning, when they decided to end the conversation, but not without making an appointment. The chosen place was the pizzeria where he works, it was his day off and that made it easier for him. After getting to know each other better and he apologized a thousand apologies. Then they started talking about what really mattered, the feeling they both felt for each other.

Roberto and Lana started dating seriously, he takes her home, introduces his family and there she could see that they were humble people. But, hardworking, if he pleases everyone.  He loves the attention received by his mother-in-law and the new brothers-in-law, but he identifies greatly with Marcos. The brother of the fifteen-year-old boyfriend, being the most outgoing, even dared to consider that he would be a great friend for his cousin Ana, who was a little lonely. Which will become something very soon.

Lana, daughter of an important man and linked to the government. Having a renowned lawyer as her mother, she was as simple as an ordinary girl from the periphery. As Marta once quoted, her daughter seemed to want to be like the girls in the favelas, talking and behaving like them. Well, it is not known for certain why the real similarity. But she had more in mind of the poor of the hill than of those who live in the upper classes of society. The aunt does not know about the relationship between her and Roberto, she keeps the secret under lock and key and Ana has promised to remain silent about the case.

Especially now that she was taken to the cinema and there, she had the pleasure of meeting Marcos. A simple guy, but good people and with whom he started a great friendship. In fact, he painted a mood right away, but they decided to wait a little longer to get to know each other better. Lana aunt was a liberal type, she allowed them to go for a walk together without imposing restrictions. As long as the commitment to be present at home within the stipulated time was maintained. This made it easier, and in a few weeks the four of them were already two very passionate lovers.

The biggest problem would be in the girl's parents who would in no way agree with the choice she made. Prejudiced about poverty. Carlos and Marta would not allow that relationship, they demanded the immediate separation of the couple. And if there was insistence by both parties, they will act with a strong pulse so that the decision is fulfilled.

Harm in all its most absurd forms was their genuine mark. Despite having humble origins, they were extremely apathetic to the less financially favored classes. And the thing will take the side of Carla, the liberal aunt who is allowing all this liberalism without even trying to see what is happening to the girls. That they were under your responsibility, but, while they still remain distant and ignorant about the issue.

The ideal is to live in the present and let the future wait to reveal its problems that will certainly come to exist. With each new bigger day, the love that burns in their chests is left, two lovers who dream of a threatened happiness, because it is a union that will be tirelessly pursued by opponents.

Who will appear soon to try to prevent that love Lana and Roberto spent the whole weekend together on the outskirts, Edu went to meet Carla, the future mother-in-law, now he and Ana were dating right there in the apartment where the three women lived, he is very different from his brother Pedro and has difficulties in adapting to the new name and the sacrifice made to call him Roberto was tremendous.

The biggest difference between them is on the intellectual side, while Marcos had a broadly developed mind and with enormous possibilities for learning, Roberto was slow in reasoning, but versatility was his strong point, he was skilled at work and capable of carrying out various tasks at the same time. In his constant ironies he used to say that he was the body and Marcos the brain of the family.  For being an intelligent young man and being in his first year of medicine at the age of seventeen, as he never repeated his grade in the public school where he studied in the Baixada.

Despite so many difficulties, he won the admiration of his mother-in-law. Meanwhile, between Roberto and Lana there is a great gap of difference, from the economic to the intellectual condition. Since he left school early, dedicating himself to work to help support his family. But, the great margin of qualities and defects between the two does not prevent the existence of a pure and true feeling. Added together means this perfect love that united them. Carlos and Marta decide to go to Santos to see their daughter who lately does not communicate with them by phone or social media.

Before, he would still give news once or twice a week, but recently he was completely silent and they were worried. The sudden arrival of them worried Lana who considered a threat to her relationship with Roberto. Not just because he was a poor person, but because he was one of the kidnappers. If it came up, he would be reported and arrested, which in no way did she want to happen because she loved him too much.

The couple meet at Carla's residence and talk harmoniously, when the nineteen-year-old niece enters with her boyfriend and goes to the second room, where they date. Marta interrogates her sister about the boy he saw passing by with his niece, he wanted to know who he was and where he came from:

— I only know that his name is Marcos and he has already started college and is a good guy

— Is that enough for you? And the origin, my sister, is fundamental to know where these young people come from, to know the family, the roots!

 — Marta I'm not like you, full of prejudices, if this young man comes from the slum or downstairs, I don't care as long as he makes my daughter happy and respects her

— I can't believe I'm hearing such a blunder, so don't you mind if this guy abuses her and leaves her later?

— Stop your exaggerations, Marta, he's a good guy and he won't do that

— How do you know if you won't, is it actually written on his forehead?

 — Neither in his, nor in anyone else's, because it does not matter whether he is rich or poor, if he has no character, he commits the same acts

 — You may have just lost track of things!

 — I am very surprised to hear you speak that way, after all, who were we during our childhood if not two poor girls raised in the mud eating grated candy with flour in the hinterland, to survive, and by chance have we become bandits or prostitutes? What is this idea that every poor person is a potential criminal? Aren't politicians and civil servants the worst thieves in this country? And they happen to be slum dwellers?

— Please, Carla, be sensible, don't mix things up!

— It is not about common sense, my sister, it is reality.

 The character of a person is not defined by the social position he occupies in society, nor by the wealth he may have. Observe Carlos, the man he married, was another one who, like us lived in the interior of Maranhão, harvesting babassu and eating what he harvested from the fields, look at what he became, did anyone imagine him to be the man he is today. The conversation took place in a low and polite tone that the couple did not hear the attorney's indiscreet placement. Lana was present, but she preferred to say nothing, she just asked herself what her mother would say about her boyfriend, she will certainly despise him and will not approve of him.

You, will not accept him as a future son-in-law, Carla is aware of the union. But, knowing the nature of her sister and brother-in-law, she prefers to keep secrets and let everything fit together at the right time. And, the niece herself is in charge of revealing the choice she made. In the week that her parents were in town, she and Roberto saw each other a few times and briefly, taking advantage of their trips to college.

Marta suspiciously realizes that something is not going well there, concluded that if Carla was so liberal with her daughter to the point of allowing a courtship in absentia, she certainly would not object if her niece made the same decision to get involved with anyone. Given this, she agreed with her husband that she would hire a private detective to watch her daughter's daily life. And that way finding out if there was really something going on without her knowing it, like a boyfriend or something.

Lana was still a minor and needed to be monitored so as not to do anything crazy typical of her age. The hired professional is right there in the city, knows all the places well and has great ease of movement, which facilitates their work, he started investigations immediately after he was hired. And it didn't take long for him to give good results, he received a worrying phone call from the detective. He warned her that the girl has a boyfriend with whom she meets every day after school hours and also spends all weekend with him.

Along with the information, he sends photos and videos through the instant messaging service proving his statements about the ongoing investigation. As soon as he learns of this, Marta tells Carlos that he is going home to try to find a way to solve this problem. The question that did not remain silent in their minds was about who this man would be with whom Lana would be getting involved and since when it started. According to the detective the boy appears to be much older and more experienced, she doesn't study at the same college. Nor does she live close to where she lives, after entering into an agreement.

 They decide to collect more information. Know more about the boy and from the result take the necessary measures. The professional hired for the service performs his work in a few days, and then passes on all the requested data to customers, Carlos and Marta learn that Roberto lives on the periphery, he is a pizza delivery man, he has not completed his studies and comes from a family without resources.

They were also informed that he is the brother of Ana's boyfriend. Carla's daughter. Along with all these things, they had no more doubts, Lana ended up getting involved with the wrong people. And needed to get away from them as soon as possible. Without wasting time, they took the first flight to Santos and in a few hours, they were reunited with their daughter, Carla and Ana, to clarify the complaint:

— Mother, did you put a detective to snoop on my personal life?

— Do not forget that you are still a minor and that your "personal life" still concerns us, young lady!

— What you did was a low blow, it is an invasion of my privacy!

— I fully agree with her, you went too far, why didn't you ask her about it directly?

— Shut up, Carla, you are not in a position to give opinions here, after all, you live covering up all this lack of common sense of your niece and her daughter!

— Who gives you the autonomy to decide whether or not I have the right to express an opinion within my own home? If you think that your daughter is not well cared for, take her back to Rio, and as for my daughter…

Her actions are my problems, my sister, and not yours!

— Well done, Lana, you heard what your aunt said, let's go home

— Did you go crazy, mom, did you forget I'm in college?

— Lock the registration and make the transfer to Rio

— Lock my course? No way!

— Maybe we should rethink our decision better, honey

— Please, Carlos Eduardo, limit yourself not to make guesses!

— As always, it's not mom, the right reason!

— I know what is best for this family, in fact, it seems that only I understand this

— What you understand is oppression, Marta, lives all the time with a rope tied around the neck of this poor fellow. Dictating rules and he obeying you. Now he wants to do the same with his daughter, but he forgot a very important detail: This girl has the same temperament as you!

— Lana is a minor and still owes me obedience, in addition to my daughter. So, don't argue, organize your stuff and we'll be back to Rio de Janeiro as soon as possible!

She could not upset her mother, because Marta was right, as a minor she should follow her rules, that same morning, they went to college and closed the course enrollment at the college and requested immediate transfer to the city of Rio de Janeiro, where the residence was fixed. The next day, Marta and Carlos return with Lana, who barely had time to ask Ana to explain what happened to Roberto. And warn him that she would be waiting for his contact, her mother was watching and she couldn't call or send text messages easily, that she was returning to live in the old apartment, in front of the newsstand where he previously worked.

The news took the boy by surprise, leaving him completely perplexed, there is a good distance between Rio and the city of Santos, how would they see each other again? Talking to the brother he received an intelligent advice from Marcos that he accepted as the only way out of that impasse. He decided to return to live in Rio. But there was a huge problem in this, as he still did not have a guaranteed job and a house to stay in, he would live with an aunt on the periphery. The place is far from the Rio de Janeiro lowlands.

And the vulture hill, this avoids being recognized by residents and taking serious risks of being reported to the police for the farce he made about his death and being arrested again. Worse now with one more aggravation of ideological falsehood, after all, I would be using false identity. Even though he liked the idea suggested by Marcos, he knew the risks he would take in this crazy adventure of going in search of his beloved woman.

In his old home, where he committed crimes and owed a great debt to justice and trafficking, for taking the life of Slightly and his men in a cowardly way. However, being away from her would be more terrible, as she did not know how to live without her affection. He would be at risk, yes, he could even be arrested or killed again by drug dealers, but none of this would stop him from packing his backpack as soon as possible and leaving in search of his happiness, after quitting his job at the pizzeria and saying goodbye to his mother and brothers.

He left on the first bus in the direction of the wonderful city in search of his great love. Just carry enough in your pocket to stay on the trip and do some shopping at the neighborhood supermarket to supply Aunt Julia dispensary. Who lives on the kerosene hill, a heavy bar, but she walked there a lot and made many friends, he had free access to the area and the locals respected him. The Devil Vulture would explain how he would be alive if his death were reported, in addition to the risk of some informants denouncing the authorities, because just as there are criminals. There are infiltrators among the police to transmit information, there are also military and civilian intelligence agents infiltrated among the bandits to do the same.

Undoubtedly, his arrival there would be quickly announced to the military command by the informants who were quick to lay hands on him. The only way out is to use an old tactic, which doesn't even know if it will really work, claiming to be Pedro's twin brother, raised in another city. Maybe he would say it was in Santos, where he lived for some time. Well, you will have to invent that or you will be fated to go back to jail or be killed by the traffic, now it's all or nothing, you have to pay to see it. Upon arriving, he had to open the game with the couple of uncles, explaining in detail the confusions in which he was involved.

In order to help your mother, get out of that hospital alive. He talked about the kidnapping that he participated as a price for the help he received from a drug dealer, the deaths and the prison, he mentioned how he escaped from the penitentiary and what he had to do to stay clear of the charges. Without all these crimes weighing on your shoulders. Using a new identity, as the majority of those who live in the lowlands of Rio de Janeiro are drug users or sellers, it was no different there. Her uncles were an elderly couple, but they were dealing from an early age. He does not intend to condemn them for this, nor should he, after all, he has favors inside their house.

Gradually the neighborhood began to notice the presence of the couple's nephew and out of curiosity they frequented the house, making up all sorts of excuses just to see him up close, especially the most excited girls in the neighborhood, the elders recognized him and found it strange because of the news. For they informed the population about his recent death, the excuse used was always the same to confuse the curious. He agreed with his uncles, to say that it was not Pedro, but Roberto. The twin brother who was raised in Santos with a sister of his mother, this explanation does not easily convince residents until he started walking around the neighborhood shirtless, showing the design of a dragon spread across his back.

 Everyone who knew Pedro knew of his aversion towards those who wore tattoos. In his opinion, those tattooed were criminals, his prejudice about that was so great that he didn't even accept dating tattooed women, no matter how small the mark on their skin was. However, the one they thought he was carrying a huge tattoo on his body. And that gradually made them start to believe that he might not be the young man killed by the police. That tattoo was done days after changing his identity, when he still resided in Santos.

The idea was exactly to mislead the police in case he was arrested, but he estimated that it would be of no use. Since there would be no way to exchange the fingerprints. He spent a fortune on that and regretted it a lot later, however, everything he does seems to be guided by destiny, because it ends up fitting in front. And look, now the tattoo was useful. The news about his reappearance ended up crossing borders and reached the ears of the head of the drug trade, in Morro do Urubu.

Located in the Baixada Fluminense, which soon sent one of his men to investigate the information, he ordered that this be done in absolute secrecy and that was how it was done. Warned that a face identical to him would be there, but they said he was someone else.  He understood that his friend tries to remain anonymous. And he remained quiet waiting for him to decide to look for him at the time he thought was most appropriate.

Roberto now had professional experience registered in his portfolio and even brought references from the former employer. Which made it easier to get a new job. Again, acting as a delivery man for an important pizzeria in the city. What he estimated to be the best way to get close to Lana, with whom he keeps contact only by phone, very rarely, when she borrows a friend's cell phone during the break from classes at the new college.

Because your mother took yours and not even the computer can use it, they didn't even see each other. Worried about being observed by some detective hired by Marta, as they considered what she did a short time ago, but the longing tightened and the desire to be together suffocated their hearts. She faced his mother's insults and he the suspicions of people who were not completely convinced that he was not Pedro.

And the risk of being reported or killed by the traffickers was great. He finally remembered his friend and decided to go for help.  After explaining the difficulties, he was facing, he was comforted to hear that he would receive great help. The trafficker decides, due to the great friendship he had for him, to forget the old debt that he made by lending him money to buy the house in Santos.

 For he recognized that his purpose was to help the family, moreover, he gave him another large sum so that he could buy his own house somewhere far from the hill, to make it easier for him and Lana to meet. Devil Vulture never married, he was a man alone, without friends, relatives or children. He saw all of this in the boy and made a point of showing his consideration for his friend:

 — Wow, man, I can't thank you

 — No, you need it, kid, I have a lot of money and no relatives to help, so I'll give you that strength, we are brothers, thanks?

 — Thanks, you know how much I consider you my friend!

 An apartment was bought in cash in the suburb of Rio, in the social program of the federal government, for a good price. I almost couldn't believe that I could finally live in a dignified way. Within what was his and to receive the woman he loved there, to enjoy all that. As planned, Roberto uses part of the money he received as a courtesy from the drug dealer friend who insisted on helping him. And it applies to a property that, despite being on the periphery, is an area a thousand times better than the favelas in the lowlands.

The sale of drugs in the hills of Rio, as in any other part of the world, generates incalculable income. Devil Vulture, like any other dealer, has thousands of reais in banks, in orange accounts. It makes profits from investments in the stock exchange that are managed by third parties. People linked to organized crime for money laundering, and most of it is again invested in new tons of drugs every year to distribute in a youth society enslaved by the uncontrolled use of narcotics. This involves small users to high-level people in the government. Trafficking has expanded in this country to the point that it is almost impossible to fight it.

The authorities surrender in the face of this empire and society suffers for not being able to react alone to the advance of crime and the social degradation typical of a country dominated by impunity. And if this wealth is going to be applied again to this vicious circle of the criminal world. Then it is much more just to use it for a more just cause. Like buying a decent place to live with your great love, and it is with this in mind that Roberto took forward the acceptance of that help, even though he knew that money was dirty. And that lives have spilled your blood or become addicted.

Drug slaves or new members of the hundreds of criminal factions out there, however, he would use it for something fair and moved into his new home.  He informed his girlfriend about the news, gave her the address and made plans for the first meeting. Lana suspected that she was being followed every time she left home, so, guided by Roberto, she uses cleverness to catch her observer and found out who is the individual who lives in her pursuit.

Aware of who it is, it became easier to lose him and get into the arms of his beloved. The new apartment was in a residential on the outskirts, but very well located and with a good neighborhood. At least twice a week the couple was there. Lana, now at eighteen, did not agree to having her first sexual experience before marriage.

She was terrified of becoming a single mother and even dying in love with Roberto, she refused to accept this type of proposal. A man for his wife is true, there is respect and because he loves her too much, he always respected his decision. Promising him that he would leave the first time until after the wedding. This may seem silly, but if it is important to her, so it will be for him too. Despite being alone in that apartment for long hours. Of course, there were times when it became almost irresistible to hold back, they succeeded, because they were determined in what they decided. The professional hired to observe Lana lost his tracks many times.

 And ended up being forced to confess to Marta that his daughter seemed to have discovered him, and with that the investigation into his actions was compromised. He then recommended that she hire another detective to continue the work. That done, Lana made the innocent mistake of not checking this possibility.

And he continued to act in the same way as before, using the same tricks, thinking he was outwitting his former observer. But, little did he know that a newbie had taken over and was walking side by side with him without realizing it. This Friday, she attends the last class of her course and leaves the back of the college, hitches a ride with a friend and heads in the opposite direction to her home, towards the periphery.

She still managed, in the previous four days, to lose the new detective because he investigated his methods, friendships, arrival and departure times. Visited the institution's secretary to identify details that would help him to form a more practical scheme, something that would allow him to monitor her more closely. Bribed officials. Surveillance to allow their free access on site premises. Anyway, he did everything that the other professional should have done, but he didn't. With that, she was at the mercy of her observation and didn't even realize it, which would be impossible, because she didn't even know him.

 When leaving the black colored vehicle that belonged to friend Juliana, who lived close to the place where she used to go when leaving college. It was followed closely without realizing that it would be leading the observer to discover his great secret, arriving at the usual place she goes down and a biker waits. Taking her to an unknown place. After at least fifteen minutes they enter a gated community, located on the east side of the city. The detective, unable to enter, returns and at a certain distance to the car and makes a phone call, reporting to his client everything he has just witnessed. It also revealed the exact location of the couple.

Marta, always astute, orders the professional to wait until the girl leaves. The idea was to check the time of their stay there, so it would be easier to draw up a plan to get them together the next day, so it was done. At night the two, mother and daughter, were at the table at dinner time, Lana happy to be able to stay close to her great love. Her mother, on the other hand, was burning with hatred for feeling betrayed by her daughter. However, she knew how to remain cool and calculating until her plan came to fruition in a few hours.

The routine was the same, after the last class Lana goes to her friend's vehicle and they follow, right behind them comes the detective and Marta, each in his own car. After a while they park and the young woman descends, being welcomed by a biker who takes her at high speed along the highway towards the periphery. Half an hour later, they enter a lower middle, class condominium, buildings constructed through one of the social programs, which would be far from the social level in which it was created. Inside the car Marta cannot believe what he is seeing with his own eyes.

In fact, the daughter is having an affair with a man of inferior social status, at the same moment the two of them may have been In, bed together and she, who knows, maybe even pregnant with the bastard. He thought about entering the place and catching them in the act, but he would expose her to ridicule. And, resentful as he was to come to hate her, he preferred to act with more prudence, the correct thing would be to call the police.

Because Lana was still a minor, it was pedophilia, but she was confused, for the first time in her life she was indecisive in the face of a situation, she had no idea what to do. Carlos was on a trip and would not return until the next week, really, he was so passive in the relationship that he almost never served even to make a simple suggestion, but it was okay.

 He understood that Carla spoke the truth when she said that she was responsible for him, a man with a high level of intellectuality, capable of assuming a high diplomatic post in the government. And yet, behave mediocrely before the wife. Now he regrets it greatly, because he does not have someone by his side who can give him an idea.

 Or suggestion on what to do Marta went to the concierge, identifying herself as a lawyer, requesting permission to enter the condominium. The apology given to the attendants was that her client was waiting for her. As it was not a luxury condominium, security was weakened and little was evaluated by visitors. So, she asked the exact apartment of the couple who had just entered there. As they were waiting for her, but she did not forget the diary containing the note.
