there is a small tomb for Damian Grinberg. there are few those who visit. there are even less those who actually remember him on a positive light. there was no much of a legacy left behind by a infamous man like him.
even until death the Blue Devil is hated and feared.
Jose "El Loco Bobo" Martinez is on prison. the prison is connected to the mental hospital by a corridor. so it is easy for the criminal and insane to cross paths with the common criminals.
Jose Martinez and Miguel Perez co-exist on the same prison. Jose Martinez has made some connections with people like the Midnight Reaper and the Whore'd Tie. two of the most famous names on the place.
James "the Whore'd Tie" White is an infamously promiscuous beast. he is on prison for killing and for having sex with a minor. there are the rumors that the minor comes to him only for conjugal visits.
James has an inhuman sexual appetite. they say that he sleeps with anyone who attracts his attention. he has slept with some guards and even with doctors and nurses. the girl who visits him sometimes even brings her friends.
Miguel has his own group of friends and enemies. there are some who want him dead because he is a cop. then there are others who are more forgiven after all the corpses that Miguel has left on the city.
there are some, few that know that it was Miguel who crippled Daniel. of course not all of them believe the rumors. but sadly those rumors are true. and Miguel is a vicious killer with thirst for blood.
Miguel is right now eating food. a guard stops in front of him.
"may I help you? or am I just your type?"
"there is a friend who wants to make a new life away from the blood that has stained his soul for decades. and you're after his life."
"so what? if this is about the Giant Hammer, tell him that I'll get out. and then I will go after him and everything that he loves."
"that is the issue. you're not getting the message. there is no tomorrow for you."
Miguel looks up. the guard uses a stun gun on him. as Miguel is unable to move. other inmates start to stab him multiple times. by the time that other guards arrive. Miguel was on the floor bleeding out. they took him to the operation room.
Jose was a witness to everything. he understood that becoming Jacob's enemy is no joke as there are consequences.
after that incident both Jose and James are doing much better. they are growing their power inside of prison. they had become friends of colorful characters.
the last time that Miguel was seen was on a wheelchair. he is trying to recover. but it is hard when the whole prison has become his enemy. everyone changed as soon as they saw that Miguel was Jacob's enemy.
there is no longer anyone trying to help the former cop.
some predict that in less than two years Miguel will get himself killed. there is no hope at all for him. his fate is absolute as of now. at any moment he could be killed by either an inmate or a guard.
there are so many colorful characters on that prison. but those three are the most important ones on our tale. those three are the only ones that matter. and soon they are going to be two out of three.
James soon became too dangerous and too wild for anyone to be able to control him. so they just send him to the mental hospital for the criminal and insane that is just around the corner.
it is said that to keep James under control they have to keep him sedated 24/7. it doesn't sound ideal, but at least he is still alive and he is no longer a danger to others. so in a twisted way that was the only solution.
somehow in a place full of dark tales James became something similar to a boogeyman and his tale became an urban legend. there is no way of telling how it started or when. all that is to say is that people keep talking about James now days.
Jose Martinez is visited by one of his siblings at least once per day. he is told that some nice people are helping all the siblings. Jose smiles feeling glad of betraying his boss. Jose feels relief of knowing that his siblings are been helped as it was promised.
it isn't ideal to become a traitor. a Judas on the eyes of your people. however there was no other way on which Jose could had found help for his siblings. he knows that he can die at any given day. he needed for his siblings to live a different life.
.....
that is enough to be said about the people on prison. going back to those who live free lives full of choices. there is one person who can't see clearly on his path. there is one person full of hatred and regret. a person who struggles to live.
Daniel Grinberg's castle is falling apart. the politicians are leaving his side. there are some police officers that are disposed to hunt him down.
Daniel lose the sympathy of the city. he lose the support of the world. now he barely has people on his side dispose to fight for him. the reason why he haven't die jet is simple. there are few warriors like Jacob fighting for him. some ready to die for him.
Daniel is aware that the moment Jacob steps down, is going to be the moment everyone will run after his head. in few words he only has 7 days left of peace. Daniel either needs of an army or to hide on the sewer like the rats.
on another side of the city Jacob finds himself in front of Carmen. they are going to have a date today. Jacob feels nervous and out of place.
Carmen told Jacob that she was willing to help Jacob on understanding the things that he can't understand like love. she told him that to understand he has to feel it first. so she asked him on a date.
they are on an amusement park. a blushing Carmen holds Jacob's hand. they walk around of the city eating snacks and junk food. there is a almost invisible smile on Jacob's face as he walks around of the amusement park.
it has been a long, long time since the last time Jacob visited an amusement park with his father Jean Einarsson. there is some enjoyment on his heart. Jacob isn't sure if he is finding emotions on this place, but at least it doesn't feel bad at all.
he secretly desires to come back some day. there is nothing magical nor epic, jet there is something special about this place. Jacob looks at Carmen for a second. he smiles as he realizes how beautiful she is.
Carmen looks at Jacob. she blushes. Carmen finds Jacob's smile to be somehow sexy and cute at the same time. she robs his second kiss on that day. unlike Caroline who gave him a sweet kiss. Carmen's kiss is more passionate.
they feel each other's tongues and even their souls. they close their eyes, and the world feels like it has stopped moving. when they open their eyes, they felt like they are walking among clouds on some paradise.
then Jacob felt something human for the first time. it wasn't clear what it was. but one thing became clear. Jacob can become, or at least feel human at Carmen's side. it isn't clear when the magic may end, but he wants to enjoy of it as long as it is there.
"I wish to walk front every corner and end of the world, and universe at your side. the question is if you, my lady feel the same way."
"if you're asking me to be your girl. then the answer is yes."
Jacob isn't sure if finding love, nor becoming Carmen's partner can be equal to finding a cure to his lack of emotions. but one thing is for sure. there is nothing to lose. Jacob will lose more if he doesn't take advantage of the given opportunity.
Carmen is well aware of who Jacob is. she knows about his past. at first she was scare and she even avoided him. but she has fallen in love. it was his gentle and jet rough kindness that started the fire on her heart. but now she loves even the smallest details.
Carmen loves everything about Jacob now. she doesn't see herself away from him. she even has the approval of her father. now the problem is her mother's family. they are a rich and powerful family. they are so complicated. they may become an issue later.
.....
