The night seemed endless for Eduardo. Since Sophia had left his apartment, he had been pacing back and forth, feeling the weight of anguish. Cecília, beside him, tried to disguise her fear with determination.
She believed it... said Cecília, in a low voice. I saw it in her face. But we need to find her soon, Eduardo.
He ran his hand through his hair, his expression heavy.
I know. I feel like she's going to do something against Elisa.
The phone vibrated on the table. Detective Sergio. Eduardo answered immediately.
I have news. The man's voice was grave, tense. One of Sophia's henchmen was seen entering an abandoned warehouse in the North Zone. I'm following the lead, but I need you both to confirm.
Cecília looked at Eduardo, her heart racing.
It could be where she's being held captive.
Eduardo took a deep breath, like someone holding the weight of the world in his hands.
Let's go there. But we need to alert the police. Now.
