CHAPTER ZERO

― Here in Tuscany you will be safe.
― Willy, are you sure no one will find me?
― The DEA would not reveal this information to anyone. You and your baby are safe.

In Mexico...
― Help me! Please!
― Epifânio! Epifânio!
― Verônica, you're my sister... if I can't trust you, who?
― Are you sure it was Teresa who handed you over to the Gringos?
― Yes.
― They will give that special witness protection. Do you know when I will find her?
― Are you giving up?
― No. I'm just telling you that it's easier to hire a good lawyer.
― Then hire him.

In Spain...
― Everything is abandoned here. Teresa! 
― Good afternoon!
― I'm looking for Teresa Mendonza.
― What's your name?
― Thalia Mendonza, but they call me Lia.
― I am Conejo. Are you related to Teresa?
― Younger sister.
― She made a deal with the DEA. We don't know where she is.
― But we can find out tell me everything you know about her.
― It's ok.

Hours later... 
― Do you think you can find her?
― First I will need to read: "The Count of Monte Cristo"
― You believe this book will be the answer.
― Yes.

A read later...
In Palermo
― Buongiorno. (Good Morning.)
― Ciao. (Hi.)
― Parli spagnolo?* (Do you speak Spanish?)
― Yes, how can I help you?
― I wanted to set up a restaurant, but Italy has many. I wanted to ride in a small town away from it all. Do you know any?
― Hmmm... In Tuscany. But you want some advice. Does not open a restaurant.
― Thank you.
― What's your name?
― Lia and yours?
― Vida. 

In Moscow...
― Natasha!
― Oleg, there is something wrong with your agreement with the Russian government.
― My sister, why do you think that?
― That sounds to me like the American way of resolving situations.
― I can take care of myself. Do not worry.
― Anyway, it's best that you eliminate anyone's way of finding you.
― And Tesa?
― A clue only she understands.

― спасибо. (Thank you.)

Weeks Later...

In Tuscany

― Giovanni, per favore consegnalo a casa della signora Dantés. (Giovanni, please deliver this to Mrs. Dantés's house.) ― Lia follows Giovanni and sees Teresa herself receiving the package. She knocks on the door and Teresa opens thinking it was the delivery man who got confused with the change.

― Lia! How did you find me here?

― A long story worthy of Dumas.

― Come in! ― The two enter and Teresa introduces Lia to her maid.  ― You checked to see if anyone was following you.

― I checked. There was no one.

― How did you come to this line of thought?

― I went to the address you gave me in Spain and met Conejo, and she told me about your time in prison. And especially the readings. She told me the book that Paty gave to you  and the relationship you two had. I went to read the book and wrote down the last names of all the characters. For France I supposed you wouldn't go, because in Conejo's history there was no such country. So ... Italy. I searched for a quiet city that resembles an island without being. This is already the third. I went cafes and markets always reading and disguising. I've followed deliveries to Mercedes and Valentinas even to a Dumas. ― Teresa  laughs. ― We've never been apart so long. You don't know what you missed me.

― When I ran away I didn't look back what you did?

A Few Years Ago...

Sinaloa, Mexico

― Where is Teresa?

― In her house. ― Ratas pulls Lia by the neck.

― Do you think I'm dumb?

― Let me go before a client calls the police.― Ratas let her go.

― You are nephew of Dom Epifânio. I saw you at her wedding. So if you saw me remember that I made a scandal.

More Months Ago...

― Do you want to rule my wedding?

― Guero, I just want to make sure she's fine with you.

― What do you mean?

― You know very well. Willy.

― For her wellness you better get away.

― Me?! For I will not come any closer to you. ― Lia got out of the wedding.

Less Months Ago...

― I remembered! Since that day you haven't seen them anymore?

― Not! Why are you looking for her?

― Guero died. I want to warn her.

― You won't find her here.

― I noticed. Thank you. ― Ratas left.

― But it's a mouse indeed! I know where my sister is. Humpf! There he goes.

― Better keep going under the counter will he left some spy.

― Stay then I'll answer the tables.

Hours Later...

― Bar closed. Willy, what is going on?

― They found the plan.

― Get my sister out of the country.

― How? 
― Airplane.

― I help, but it won't be easy. And maybe I won't come back.

― I find you.

In Tuscany...

― You and Willy?

― Yes. We had two children.

― They are with their grandmother in the United States.

― But in such a short time.

― They are twins. ― Lia shows the photo.

Years Later...

― Aunt, I wanted to visit your country and your children.

― When you're older I'll take you there.

― And why don't you bring them here?

― They like their grandmother very much. And it's a very long trip for her.

― Is she old?

― Is. ― They both laugh.

More Years Later...

By Phone

― Lia!

― Teresa!

― They kidnapped my daughter.

― I find out who she was and where she is.

Days Later...

― Let me go!

― While your niece is kidnapped, so will you. I will not let you help your sister.

― Veronica, at time La Reina del Sur appears enemies will emerge from all sides. Who will protect her and protect my niece?

― I'll think... for now you stay here.

Today...

In Australia

― Dolce! Dolce!

― Meow!

― Dolce, my aunt will give me a kitten.

― When does she arrive?

― Next week. Conejo, we could make candy for her.

― Sure.

―What are you two up to?

― Mom, Aunt Lia's reception.

― She'll come by helicopter.

Two Weeks Later...

Speedboats arrive at the beach

― Teresa!

― Lia. What a fright!

― Did you think it was the navy?

― You said you would come by helicopter. Anyway... Welcome!

― Thanks. I brought your gift. ― Lia gives the kitten to Sofia.

― It's called Stella.

― I brought my kids with me Edward and George.

― Why?

― I need help.
