Chapter 7 - priorities of a mother

With the leak of the news of the wall all our plans changed, the transformation of the rest of our relatives was suspended, we judge that our families being human could represent a symbol of union between both races, without having another news of my daughter the following two months were a series of campaigns to build the image of us and animanos, the first thing we did was abolish private education, the decision generated great annoyance among the more affluent classes having to "mix" their children with other people was a injustice, but if we wanted to give a boost to the improvement of public education, what we had left was to bring the wealthiest to it, in order to drive change.

The first response in opposition to our project was that many young people were sent to live abroad, to the countries that were still ruled only by humans, Samuel Supplicium suggested closing the exits of the country, but none supported him.

The next move was to dominate the health area of ​​the country, Veronica Caedes worked hard to strengthen the system of auditors, while Octavio Vindicta put judges and congressmen between the ropes to give more power to auditors and organizations responsible for consumer rights With such control, each private health company opted to sell and its owners left the country, each of the five families designated trustworthy people for the purchase of the companies and using them as puppets, we became the leaders of both private health as public, with the union of both health systems, earnings were reduced by 75% but none of us cared, with our income levels, money no longer meant anything.

In 6 months of government, our approval rate went from 20% to 62%, after all if the incumbent president makes sure to provide the people with what they need, few will be the ones who will have complaints, in parallel to all our movements to to improve the country we made sure to buy properties outside of Las Condes, due to our laws that affected the upper class it was inevitable to feel the rejection and rejection of the majority of our neighbors in the sector, each one of us moved to the other end of Santiago We settled in the Puente Alto sector, Leticia went to live in the San Bernardo commune, Octavio in Padre Hurtado, Samuel in Maipu and Verónica in the La Pintana sector.

Each one of us knew that the reception would not be entirely warm, nobody likes to see how a mansion is built near your house, while your family struggles to know how they will spend the month without debts ruining them or someone I tried to break into the home, so it was clear to each of us that we had to win over our neighborhood.

In my case, I chose to visit the sector, escorted by the military and with a notorious bulletproof vest under my clothes, I visited the houses of Puente Alto, each reception was marked by a certain fear, in some houses I could notice how they had weapons of Fire by hand, but after talking and getting to know them people realized that I was there to support them, my purpose was to support the homes, not only with government programs, but also with my own money.

After a long day of visiting, I return home for dinner, while the three of us eat Carolina interrupts our silence.

— I want you to leave me in charge of improving Puente Alto.

Natalia is silent as she drinks wine from her glass, but she doesn't stop looking at me, expectant of my answer.

— And that spirit of charity? I ask without looking at her, I don't plan to deny her request, but I want to understand her motivations.

— I am the one who will inherit everything you have, so I will also have to deal with your responsibilities, we do not live in the 12th century so that they accept me just for being your daughter.

— What do you plan to do to win their support? I rest my elbows on the table as I cover my mouth with my folded hands.

— Have you heard about black cocaine?

— Illustrate me.

— I had the opportunity to be present in the interrogation of some collaborators of the previous government, among them was a biochemist responsible for making black coca, a substance capable of going unnoticed in customs records, at first glance you can mistake them for pigments, Even charcoal dyes, if that kind of drugs infiltrate these neighborhoods things could get serious.

— Do you know the location of the production site?

— Vía Naranja 4925 in Vitacura.

I raise my eyebrows in surprise at the level of research carried out, inside I am proud of her, but I cannot allow her confidence to go to her head— What are you going to need to dismantle the installation?

— I want my own special force, with total freedom of operation.

I wipe my mouth with the napkin before answering, that of total freedom to operate does not seem to me— Why would you need total freedom?

She makes a face indicating that she is not sure— For operations like these I need the assurance that every action I take has your backing, I have nothing that allows me to call for instructions.

— We will talk about total freedom, but I will arrange for you to have a team of special forces —I notice that she wants to say something else but I interrupt her— you must also agree to take military training and until your superiors tell me that you are ready, you must stay away from the action.

— I was going to request a training —she mentions pleased— now I would like to retire to continue making preparations.

I extend my hand palm up— Go ahead, we'll prepare a great headline for your feat.

When my daughter leaves the dining room, my wife and I are left alone, I can see a small smile on her— Are you glad that I let her participate?

— I am glad that she is involved in the family business, but I want you to be honest with me, when Leopoldo crosses, will she continue to be the leader of the family?

— What Carolina said is true, we do not live in the Middle Ages, if she proves to be suitable for the position of head of the family, no one will be able to dispute her position, even Leopoldo will have to admit that he is not qualified to lead.

— Call me distrustful if you want, but I would like a legal document where Carolina's sovereignty is guaranteed.

I can't help but smile— I adore that side of you, when she shows that she has won the position, together we will write that document — after years of knowing each other, just by seeing how her glass of wine looks I can know that something else worries her— Anything else than do you want to talk.

— What will become of Rosa?

— She made a decision, she is no longer a girl.

— But she's still your daughter, even if she doesn't consider you her father.

— Only time will tell me that it will be the right decision, at the end of all my priority is what is best for humanity.

She didn't say anything, but I could see it in her evasive gaze, her only priority is the best for her, her son, and her two daughters, which makes me fear that one of these days she and I will have to take separate directions in virtue of our goals.
