Lunch time has passed and an impatient Luana waits for Daniela in her office. After about ten minutes, the door opened and Dani entered the room, sitting in front of Lua.
— Sorry for the delay, I just finished what I did. Something has happened?
— It happened, Daniela _Luana said seriously and stopped. _ I found what Max has.
"And why does it seem so serious to me?"
“Because he's a vampire.
Daniela did not seem surprised, which made the girl curious.
— You don't seem to be the least bit surprised Daniela...
"And why should I?" I think it's been clear since yesterday Luana. The behavior he described to me the night before made me connect the dots.
"But you don't seem the least bit surprised that we have a vampire in our midst...
“A harmless vampire child like the others scattered around the city. Are you so uninformed Lua? Just yesterday there were five vampire attacks in different parts of the city and in all of them there were people with fatal injuries even deaths.
Now the one who was surprised was Luana.
"So, does that mean there's a vampire attacking our town?" _ Daniela agrees with nod _ I need to find out more.
“Even they began to suspect that the man found dead was an assault by one of them.
The coldness flowed all over Luana's body and she swallowed. This can't be right. He knew very well what Daniela was talking about.
“Well, let's forget about that now. I'll need to talk to you about Max. _ Lua said change the subject.
- What about him?
“I'll release Max later.
"But where did he go?" A vampire kid running around the streets again?
"No Dan! That's why I called you here. I've got an idea and I'd like to know if you agree.
“I'm thinking of taking Max home …
The silence stayed there for a few minutes.
— Do you two get along well?_ Daniela asked while thinking.
- Yeah. At least from what I saw.
"Then that would be a good idea." And if necessary, I can help you.
— Thank you Dani! Before I leave, I will release him and if he wants, we will go home.
“I want to get involved in this.
— It will be very good, said Daniela _Luana excited.

The rest of the afternoon was like an eternity for Luana. I'm very happy to take Max home, but what if he doesn't want to go? This will make you very disappointed. He wanted to give a good welcome to the boy and therefore, after finishing all his work, he asked to leave early to solve some problems, he said, but he left a message that he would return later to free one of his patients. Daniela was home from work at one o'clock at noon, in a schedule change and through a message Dani promised to help her. After leaving the hospital, he went home, took a shower, changed his clothes and stopped by his friend's house. They then continued their journey to the city center. They don't have much time. Arriving at the mall, Daniela looks euphoric and curious.
—Lua, you haven't told me until now what purpose we came here for...
- Right? Oh. right, I forgot. It's just that there's so much busyness. _ he stops _ I want you to help me make room for Max! _ live.
"What if he doesn't want to go?" _ said Dani seriously and worried.
— Then we won't be able to do anything _ Luana shrugs. _ But think about the bright side. If he leaves, he will arrange everything. Wouldn't it be better that way?
“I think you.. I mean, the two of us, we expect too high. What if we were disappointed in the end? What if her mother decides to show up?
"You're right Dani. But I don't think it's going to happen. I don't know! I feel he wants to leave and we will all be very happy _ he said seriously.
"Okay, let's just forget it!" Go shopping! _ Said Daniela jumping over Luana as they entered the mall.
The two almost fell down and continued to laugh from there. Luana didn't know why, but she was excited. Maybe because he had lived alone at home for a long time? Could be. But it made her happier than usual, it filled her and her presence brought her fond memories. It renews his hopes and makes him forget the dark past and present. It keeps him cut off from the world in a way that no one has ever been able to.
