Pamela is at the supermarket checkout, checking out customers' purchases with her grim-faced. Customers don't risk starting a chat for fear of pissing her off even more.Wallace walks and approaches her. A supermarket watchman is on alert, remembering the attack."Pam, why were you late today? Do you think you managed to go unnoticed? Jorge was screwing my patience." He speaks harshly."You need to stop being afraid of Jorge." She responds with a shrug.Pamela is so nervous that it let her bewildered. A package of frozen chicken cost $5.20 and she typed $2.50 into the cash register."He is now the manager of the store. If before he had supervisory powers, imagine now!" Wallace speaks in awe."Jorge cannot fire any employee at his pleasure." Pamela keeps adding up the wrong prices for the goods. The lady is startled when she discovers that her purchases came out cheaper than she thought."Have you been wandering around somewhere else?"

Josias shakes his head regretfully. His voice came out weak and dismayed: "I can't, Octavio, I can't against this guy." "What's so deterring you from seeking justice?" Octavio insists firmly. "The guy is powerful. That's it when I ran away in 1980. Three years went by and no one did anything, imagine what he must be like now?" Octavio ponders, "Well, his house looks like it's from Europe Garden, and he'll probably be Sunset Village's first resident." Josias has a start and shivers. "We can never let the shameless choose our company!" "And how will we know if we don't even know his name? I've only seen him once or twice myself, I wouldn't recognize him if he appeared in front of me today." Josias heaves a sigh. What a difficult situation! Octavio gets up. "Let's go out, cool off a bit. You need it." Josias looks at him piously. "It's true. I hope he doesn't find me." Octavio chuckles. Sometimes Josias's fear is so irrational that it's funny. ****** Pamela comes home from work

Josias begins to explain to Officer Mendes why he took so long to report the moneylender: "The matter, Officer, is that I was so terrified that I ran away from Rainbow Garden, hid in Happiness Slum, and spent almost a year wearing only sweatpants. I had just come out of the bath when I heard the invasion and the shots. I never got to see my father, if he was still alive, if he died in the hospital, I didn't even show up at the funeral."The officer shakes his head. "I'm so sorry, young man. But even if you couldn't report this crime, you could have come to us when you were feeling better, not after all this time.""So you mean there's no way out?" Josias opened his eyes wide and his voice faltered."Calm down, it's not like that." The officer at least gives a slight smile to reassure the complainant, "I can even file the police report and take it to my superior, but I'm already saying that, because so much time has passed, it will be very difficult to investigat

Uélton explains the situation in his good-natured way: "Guys, this is the beauty that stirred my heart. Do you know her, Stacy?""She's my cousin, Natalia Simmer." Stacy proudly responds.But Natalia turns whiter than she already is: "No, Stacy, don't say my name to that smart flirtatious!"Too late, Uélton extends his hand: "A pleasure, Natalia. Uélton Freire."Natalia doesn't shake his hand. "Your hand is all covered in dust.""Bones of the craft," Uélton laughs after repeating the saying.Stacy says goodbye to her boyfriend. "I just came here to introduce you; we're going to the bakery.""See you later, honey," William responds and the two kiss goodbye to each other."Nice to meet you, William," Natalia says goodbye, "Stacy talks a lot about you."The two girls walk away. Uélton is looking distant, distracted, with a very silly face.William snaps his fingers in Uélton'

The next day, Melissa is walking with Elisa in the lobby of the Vargas Building. The two see Pamela getting up from one of the straw chairs in the left corner of the lobby.She noisily leaves a magazine left for reading on the coffee table and approaches them with an evil smile.Melissa speeds up her pace and pulls Elisa by her shirt: "Come on, Elisa, we're late!""Is this all scared of me, darling?" Pamela asks in a loud tone, attracting the attention of others around.Elisa retains her arm and Melissa cannot walk to the roulette wheel. "Wait, my friend. Let's peel this asshole."Melissa takes a deep breath and turns to her archenemy: "Pamela, I thought we'd never see each other again.""Correction: I won't see Josias anymore because of my son. But, there's no contract preventing me from seeing you and disturbing you.""And you want to wait for my brother to make such a deal?" Elisa snaps back angrily.Pamela shrugs. "I'm not
