Life was getting more and more complicated. Gina was found dead in her appartment, stabbed right in the heart. Forensics claimed that she was killed by a very

skilled person. It was a sympathetic murder because Gina didn't feel any pain, it was instant death. I knew it was Stahl right away. Of course no one wanted to

believe me. More over Gina's neighbour told that I came to her and was banging on her door for 2 minutes. Woz and Tess were intorragating me like i had something

to do with a murder. I was frantic.I rushed home trying to get away from everybody. When i was pulling up to my neighborhood, i heard something falling under my

feet. I looked down and saw a knife with blood stains on it. My mind went blank.

- That wasn't me...i left because she didn't open the door...i remember it clearly...so it's Stahl...i know...- I was sitting im my car trying to collect myself.

- Im not crazy...he is just trying to set me up...frame me for Gina's murder...- My mind was recoverring. I took a handkerchief and picked up the knife.

- I need to get rid of it...- I looked in the rearview mirror. Panic took over me.

I drove to a Dumpster on the outskirts. That bloody knife was burning my hand. I threw it away,shaking like an autumn leaf that was

barely hanging on a branch.

- Mom, im home! - Christina's angelic voice woke me up from my misery.

- I'm here - My voice cracked like a broken string.

- Mom, why are you sitting in the bathroom? - She sounded worried.

- Ive just had a shower... - I was trying to wipe away the tears and dry my eyes. I didn't want my daughter to see me like this.

- I'm waiting for you! Ordered some pizza for us! It will be delivered in 5 minutes...- Christina was the only one who could brighten up my day.

We had a dinner and i put on my best performance for her. I had to be strong for my sweet little baby. The night came again. I was so scared to fall asleep and at

the same time it was the only thing that i was craving. After 4 hours of battling myself i decided to take control of the situation if i saw Stahl again. I had to be in

control of my own dreams.

- Mi carino...- I felt someone's hands on my waist.

- Miguel! - Black haired man with dark eyes was right in front of me.

- Yes,mamacita...in flesh...- Miguel was staring at me with his repulsive smile.

- You are dead!Its just a dream! - I pushed him away with all my might.

- Harlee...don't be rude...- I heard painfully familiar voice behind me.

- No! - I turned around and screamed at the top of my lungs.

- Im here for you, Harlee... - James was standing in all his glory,untouched by death. His kind and pure eyes were looking at me with sheer compassion. Only he

could look at me like that. I was standing in the room where i snapped Miguel's neck, wearing my bathrobe.

- Guess what we are both here for you...your angel and your devil...- Miguel's voice made me cringe.

- Go away,Miguel! James, i can't live without you...help me...i can't...- I was trying to come closer to James but every step i took, made me move farther from James.

- Please! James! - I couldn't get to him. My body was so week.

- Harlee...you have to face the consequences...if it wasn't for you, this angel boy would be alive...- Miguel sat down on the chair lighting up a cigarette.

- Shut up! - I cried in agony. Tears were blurring my sight and James's silhouette was vanishing.

- Harlee, i would be alive, if i didn't meet you...- James's voice became distant and cold.

- That's right...you see what you have done to him and to me...I just wanted to get my life back...you stole it from me! - Miguel

stood up and started to walk right to me with malice in his eyes.

- No! No! You were trying to rape me! I didn't have a choise! James, please! - I streched out my arms to James, desperately

seeking his protection.

- It doesn't make it ok, Harlee! You are a murderer! - James crossed his arms, showing me that he wasn't going to help me in any way.

- Yes,accept it, Mi carino - Miguel slowly wrapped his arms around my neck.

- James!- I was fighting but it felt like Miguel was made of stone. I couldn't push him away.

- You suffocated that man in the bathroom, making me your accomplice! Saperstein and Gina are dead because of you! - James was roaring at me with his face full of anger. It wasn't MY James!

- Please!Help me! - Miguel was choking me and James wasn't going to save me.

- It's the end!He won't help you because he is too righteous!He's always been like this but you were trying to pretend that you were good ...so you could be with this

perfect man...But you are not good,Harlee! He will never understand you... - Miguel was hissing like a snake,filling me up with his poison.

- Stahl!- I scremed with the last breath that i had in me.

Instantly i heard a gunshot and Miguel's body fell on the floor. I covered my bruised neck, trying to catch my breath.

- So it always comes down to this...- Stahl's seemingly condescending tone sent shivers down my spine.

- You are both doomed...- James spit those words and vanished like he was never there.

- Harlee Santos? - Two cops were standing in my doorway with a warrant.

- Yes - My morning was totally nightmarish as well as my nights.

- You are arrested on suspicion of killing Gina Romero. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used

against you in a court of law - I was handcuffed without hesitation.

- Mom!What's going on?Let her go! - Christina run down the stairs trying to intervene.

- It's going to be ok,baby! Call Woz... - I was so drained that i didn't feel any panic or fear.

- Mom! - Christina was crying loudly.

- It's just a mistake...- I squeezed out some kind of smile for Christina and lied to her again.
