Only a moment.
Only the matter of moment and the next thing German realized was his daughter being shot with some really powerful guy that made her fly back inside the house on the closed door.
He first wanted to run after the shooter, but instead he ran back inside to his daughter while calling for help...
- Hold on, please... Hold on... - he whispered after called for help, but it was way too late.
Within seconds Violetta died from the shot she got.
----- TIME SKIP -----
The detective, called Diego walked into the living room to see his friend completely frozen on the couch, looking into the distance.
- German... - he sighed as he sat in front of him - Don't worry... We'll do everything to find out who killer her.
German looked at him, but didn't say anything.
- You know how we handle these things, if it's about one of our colleauge...
- Why? - German finally spoke up.
- Huh?
- You should handle these cases the same way as every other. Who the fuck do you think you are to make exeptions because I am your colleague?! - he said angrily as he stood up to walk to the window and once again saw a similar dark car that was driving past the house.
Diego was shocked to hear that, but he tried to stay calm.
- We uh... We'll look up who might have a problem with you... Or want revenge on you, or something...
- I don't think there is anyone though...
- Would you like to stay at my house for the night? - Diego continued - I don't want you to be alone.
- I'll be fine.
- Are you sure?
- Yes.
He didn't dare to bother him any more about this and within a few hours every officer and people left his house.
Alone he couldn't cry.
All he was doing was to walk around the house, thinking.
Something wasn't right with Violetta before everything happened, but he never got to find out what was it.
The following morning he decided to not to feel sorry for himself, but going to the station to check files out, but he didn't find anything useful.
Right at the same time when he finished one of his other colleague called for him and told him to go and see the boss.
As he did he saw Diego was also in the office...
- I'm really sorry for what happened to you, German - said the boss as he shook his hand - It must be awful.
- It is - German mumbled.
- Diego is going to lead this investigation to find the killer so everything will be fine.
German looked over to Diego while the boss continued.
- Also... You won't be in this investigation. You should get home and rest.
- What?! - he gasped, now with more energy in him.
- You know the rules...
"Yes... Since I'm involved I can't be in this... Fucking hell..." - German groaned to himself as soon as he left the office to head to the dissecting room for the same thing other people would go.
To prove his colleagues that it is indeed his daughter, laying on that table.
He barely had guts to do it, but he had to anyway...
