“Deputy Flávio Moreno”When I decided to stop by the hospital today to see the children, I didn't imagine I'd find chaos. I'd been on duty nearby, was in the patrol car with three officers, and said I'd like to take advantage of the opportunity to stop by and see my friends and the babies. Officer Renata was driving the patrol car and was excited; she wanted to meet the quadruplets. Soon, everyone wanted to meet the babies too. We'd been chasing Junqueira for a while, my team was very committed to it, and at one point or another, they'd all met Alessandro and Catarina.Renata insisted on stopping by the gift shop and buying chocolates and stuffed animals for Catarina. Soon, everyone was splitting the bill at the gift shop. We bought metallic balloons, chocolates, and stuffed animals. Soon, we were standing in front of the nursery window, watching the little ones sleeping. I thought it was strange when I arrived, and there were only three babies in the nursery. I took a quick look and

"Junqueira"I was sitting there planning my next move when I had the Mellendez baby in my hands. I was so excited! But then I heard the door open and close quickly, and that idiot Kauã burst in."Malvadeza, everyone's screwed!" Kauã was terrified."What the fuck happened? What the hell did you guys do now?" I jumped up from my chair. "Where's that little friend of yours with the baby?""So, Malvadeza, the deal flopped!" Kauã looked at me in agony."Huh?!" I asked, not understanding."Yeah, Malvadeza, Zika is out, it's a mess, it went wrong, it didn't work out, damn it!" My lord, Kauã's vocabulary was an attack on the Portuguese language!"What exactly went wrong, you worthless bastard?" I asked as I walked toward him."So, Elisa grabbed the little crybaby. Then a security guard came after her, and I hit him in the head with a piece of wood. Then we separated, because Elisa thought it would attract less attention. Then none of the hospital doors would open, and they started saying it w

“Cláudio”I've been locked up for months, but time here passes differently; it drags on, and it feels like I've been here for years. It's all day locked up, doing nothing. The only time we go out is to sunbathe, for an hour every other day, and for visits. That annoying Kelly is coming to visit me once a month, and now I'll have to put up with her, because you can't get out of jail without visits.The first time she came, she was angry, full of accusations because she'd learned I was having an affair with Celeste. It took me a lot to calm her down, but in the end, she accepted that I was weak and seduced, but that it wouldn't happen again. I was already used to it; ever since I married her, whenever he discovered one of my slip-ups, it was the same drama, but in the end, I convinced her it had been a minor mistake.Our son was born the week I was arrested, and she brought the kid for me to meet. I told her not to bring him anymore; this is no place for children, and I demanded that sh

We stayed at the police station for about four hours. Cláudio spoke with his mother, who was crying profusely and asked her son to confess all his crimes and cooperate with the police. She apologized for what her son had done and expressed her deep regret that he hadn't followed the right path she'd always tried to show him. In the end, my husband was even moved by the woman and said he felt at peace with being able to provide her with better health care.Cláudio had a lot to tell. He began by saying he met Junqueira through a friend from Campanário who came to live in Porto Paraíso as soon as he turned eighteen. He didn't know how the friend knew Junqueira and never bothered to ask. He gave information about this friend, whose name was KauãCapiberibe, and where he could be found.Cláudio said he met Junqueira three months before the helicopter crash that killed Alessandro's parents and that Junqueira paid him a good amount of money to sabotage the helicopter, including paying for a h

Junqueira pushed Alessandro toward the office, tears streaming down my face. As soon as they left the room, the doorknob moved slightly, and Matias entered, signaling for us to be quiet."Ma'am, I'm sorry," Matias said softly. "I don't know how he got in, but we'll figure it out. Please go upstairs quietly, without making a sound, and take care of the children. My men will protect you. The police are already on their way.""Alessandro, Matias. He's going to kill Alessandro." I was desperate."I promise you he won't. But please, I need you to be safe. I won't fail you again." Matias helped me up."It wasn't your fault, Matias," the nanny Junqueira was aiming at when I arrived in the room said softly. "Forgive me, Catarina, but he put the gun to my head when I was leaving the house and hid in the backseat of my car. Forgive me, I should have let him kill me!""No way! You had no choice. Now let's go upstairs and take care of my children. It's time for Pedro to wake up," I said, trying t
