Carlos

Hi, everyone! 😊 I created this group to organize Grandpa's birthday party. Can everyone help?

9:17 PM


John

Sure, I'm in! Where are we having the party? 🎉

9:18 PM


Sergio

We can use the association club's party room. It's a great place and free of charge.

9:18 PM


Mike

Great, Sergio. Aunt Sara, could you make those amazing snacks?

9:19 PM


Aunt Sara

Of course, my dears! I'll prepare my famous cheese puffs. 😄

9:20 PM


Joe

I can take care of the music. I have an awesome DJ setup.

9:20 PM


Cynthia

Perfect! I'll handle the decorations. I'm already picturing something very festive and cheerful.

9:21 PM


Zoe

I'll bring the drinks. I'll make sure no one goes thirsty. 🍻

9:21 PM


You

Perfect! I'll take care of the invitations and organize the guest list. How about we make a slideshow with old photos of Grandpa? What do you think? 📋

9:22 PM


Zoe

Great idea! I'll try to arrange a screen and projector. I'll talk to the church folks about that. 🎥

9:23 PM


Zoe

Oh, and I'll try to get some special soft drinks to please everyone. It's always good to have options.

9:25 PM


You

It looks like it's going to be an amazing party! I'll prepare the invitations and organize the guest list. 📋

9:26 PM


Carlos

Excellent! So, are we set for next Saturday at 6 PM in the church hall?

9:30 PM


John

Perfect! Grandpa is going to love it.

9:31 PM


Sergio

Yes, he deserves a big celebration.

9:32 PM


Mike

See you all there!

9:33 PM


You

Thanks, everyone! Good night!

9:35 PM


March 26


Grandma Martha:

Good morning! Sara, do you still have that ointment? My legs are aching again. Such pain! 😔

7:30 AM


Aunt Sara

Hi, Mom, good morning! I'll come over in a bit, okay? Kisses! 😘

7:49 AM


March 27, 2024



You renamed the group to "SMITH-JONES FAMILY IN MOURNING"


You

Everyone, some sad news... Grandpa passed away this morning. 😢

8:41 AM


John

I can't believe it... 😔

8:43 AM


Sergio

So sad. At least we had the party with him. He was so happy that day.

8:45 AM


Mike

It was such a beautiful moment. 😥

8:47 AM


Joe

He was always the heart of the family. He will be greatly missed.

8:50 AM


Cynthia

I'm at a loss for words. He was always so strong... 😢

8:52 AM


Aunt Sara

We knew he had been sick for a while, but we're never ready to lose someone like this... 😔

8:55 AM


Zoe

It's been such a tough week. But we'll support each other through this.

9:00 AM


You

Yes, let's stick together. He would want us to be united during this time.

9:05 AM


Carlos

I agree. We need to be strong for the funeral. It will be tomorrow at 10 AM. And the wake will be today, starting at 7 PM, at the church hall. Please come prepared to say our goodbyes.

10:17 AM


John

I'll be there. We all need to be together.

10:21 AM


You

Of course. We'll honor him as he deserves. I'll bring some old photos for the memory table.

10:22 AM


Cynthia

I can take care of the flowers. I'll head to the florist right now.

10:25 AM


Sergio

I'll prepare a short speech. He always loved telling his stories, so he deserves a good tribute.

10:27 AM


Aunt Sara

I'll bring some snacks for everyone. I know it's going to be a hard day, and we need to stay strong.

10:29 AM


Aunt Sara

Guys, I'm worried about Grandma Martha. She's not handling this well. She already had a lot of health issues, and now with Grandpa's passing, she seems even more worn down. 😞

10:32 AM


Aunt Sara

You know how she struggles with her pain, and now all of this... I think she needs some rest, away from all this stress.

10:33 AM


Zoe

I'll help organize the hall and set up more chairs. I'll go there earlier to make sure everything is in order.

10:34 AM


Aunt Sara

She's complaining about headaches and high blood pressure. I'm thinking about removing her from the group for now so she won't be more worried about everything. 😔

10:35 AM


You

I understand, Aunt Sara. It's important for her to take care of herself. Maybe it's better if she rests and doesn't get too involved right now.

10:36 AM


John

I think it's a good idea, Aunt Sara. Grandma's health is a priority.

10:40 AM


Cynthia

Yes, Auntie. She needs rest. We're all here if you need anything.

10:45 AM


Aunt Sara

Thanks, everyone. I'll talk to her and then remove her from the group temporarily. If you need anything, let me know directly.

10:53 AM


Grandma Martha left the group...


Aunt Sara

Okay, I removed Grandma from the group. If she needs anything, I'll let you know.

11:38 AM


Zoe

Thank you, Aunt Sara. Let's focus on organizing everything for today and tomorrow. We need to stay strong.

11:56 AM



April 4, 2024


Carlos

Hi, everyone. How are you all holding up?

4:05 PM


John

Getting by... one day at a time.

4:10 PM


Sergio

The pain eases, but the longing remains.

4:11 PM


Mike

I've been thinking about Grandpa's house... Has anyone been there since the funeral?

4:13 PM


Joe

I went yesterday. It still feels like he's there. Everything is just as he left it.

4:15 PM


Cynthia

It's hard to imagine the house without him. Sorting everything out is going to be a process.

4:20 PM


Aunt Sara

We need to get together to decide how we'll take care of the house and the ranch.

4:24 PM


Zoe

Yes, and we also need to make sure everything is secure. I heard there was an attempted break-in at the house last week.

4:31 PM


Carlos

What? How come nobody mentioned this?

4:40 PM


March 27, 2024


You

This is serious. We need to take action. Maybe install a security system?

4:53 PM


John

I agree. Speaking of which, has anyone else noticed anything strange lately?

5:01 PM


Sergio

What do you mean, John?

5:05 PM


Mike

Are you talking about that disappearance in the neighborhood? What did you hear?

5:07 PM


Joe

I heard some talk... Seems like they’re linking the disappearance to some fight that happened recently.

5:10 PM


Cynthia

Wait, what fight?

5:12 PM


Aunt Sara

Are you talking about what happened the night before Grandpa's birthday?

5:15 PM


Zoe

Yes, and there's one more thing... Mike, your name came up.

5:20 PM


Carlos

Is this true, Mike?

5:23 PM


Mike

That's ridiculous! I have nothing to do with this.

7:31 PM


You

We need the truth, Mike. Where were you that night?

7:45 PM


Mike

I was at home. Alone. This is a baseless accusation!

9:11 PM


John

But can anyone confirm that? Were you really alone?

9:30 PM



April 5


Mike

I don’t need to prove anything. I'm telling the truth.

2:48 AM


Cynthia

Good morning! Look, Mike, this all seems very strange. We need to clear this up.

8:12 AM


Aunt Sara

Mike, you need to explain better what's going on.

8:34 AM



April 6


Carlos renamed the group to "FAMILY DISCUSSIONS"


Carlos

Good morning, everyone. We need to talk about some serious issues. We have to resolve this.

9:27 AM


You

I agree. We're going through a tough time with Grandpa's death, and now this situation with Mike and the properties.

9:32 AM


John

We need clarity. Mike, there are a lot of accusations about you. What’s going on?

9:40 AM


Mike

I know everyone is worried, but I swear I’m not involved in the disappearance. But I discovered something very disturbing about Cynthia that you all need to know.

11:10 AM


Cynthia

What are you implying, Mike? Speak clearly.

11:12 AM


Joe

Calm down, everyone. Let’s hear what Mike has to say.

11:15 AM


Mike

When Grandpa was in the hospital, Cynthia, you had his power of attorney, right?

11:20 AM


Cynthia

Yes, but it was to handle some urgent financial issues. What does that have to do with what's happening?

11:23 AM


Mike

I looked into it and found out that three months ago, you transferred the ranch and the apartment in Beverly Hills into your name. What do you have to say about that?

11:29 AM


Carlos

What? Is that true, Cynthia? Why would you do that?

11:31 AM


John

How do you explain this? Grandpa was very sick at that time.

11:33 AM


Cynthia

You’re accusing me of something I didn’t do. I used the power of attorney only to handle financial matters; I would never transfer properties into my name without consulting the family.

11:44 AM


Aunt Sara

Cynthia, dear, we're all trying to understand. This is very serious. You need to explain this to us.

11:50 AM


Zoe

This is really fishy. And with your husband missing, it seems like too much of a coincidence. Is there something going on here?

11:56 AM


You

Cynthia, what happened to Tom? He's been missing for days and isn't answering his phone... Was he involved in any of this?

12:40 PM


Cynthia

I... I don't know what happened to him. He just disappeared. The last time I saw him, he was going to the bank to sort out some things. When I got back home, he was already gone and hasn’t responded to my calls since. About the transfers, I really don’t know how that happened. I had Grandpa's power of attorney to handle some issues while he was in the hospital, but I swear I never transferred anything into my name. Maybe someone used the power of attorney without my knowledge. Please, believe me!

1:16 PM


Carlos

Cynthia, this is very serious. You need to be honest with us. What's going on?

1:19 PM


Cynthia

I am being honest! I swear I didn't do anything wrong. I’m just as confused as you all are.

1:25 PM


Mike

If you’re innocent, then why are the ranch and the apartment in your name now?

1:30 PM



April 12


Carlos renamed the group to "SEARCH FOR CYNTHIA"


Carlos

Everyone, something terrible has happened. Cynthia is missing.

7:20 AM


John

What? How can she be missing? Since when?

7:30 AM


Carlos

She hasn’t been seen since yesterday morning. I can’t reach her at all.

7:34 AM


Sergio

Are you serious, Carlos?

7:47 AM


Joe

When was the last time anyone spoke to her?

7:50 AM


Aunt Sara

I talked to her yesterday morning. She seemed worried but didn’t mention going anywhere.

8:11 AM


Zoe

Has anyone tried calling or messaging her? This is very strange.

8:14 AM


You

Yes, I’ve called and sent messages multiple times, but nothing. This is very strange.

8:15 AM


Carlos

And there's something else. Tom, her husband, was found dead this morning. He was at their house.

8:20 AM


John

This is getting worse and worse. We need to call the police.

9:02 AM


Sergio

The police are already involved. We need to cooperate with any information we have.

9:10 AM


Joe

This is a nightmare. What’s happening to our family?

9:15 AM


You

We need to stay united and resolve this together. Let’s cooperate with the police and find Cynthia.

9:20 AM


Zoe

Has anyone seen anything suspicious? Anything that could help?

9:25 AM


Aunt Sara

I don’t know... She was so nervous lately. But I didn’t think it was something this serious. Oh my God, so much worry!

9:30 AM


Carlos

Let’s meet tomorrow. We need to discuss how to help in the search for Cynthia and deal with all of this.

9:36 AM


You

I agree. This can't go on. We need to find out the truth.

9:40 AM


April 13, 2024


Missed voice call


Cynthia sent you a message.


---


Cynthia

Hey, everything worked out. I’m at the agreed place. When are you coming?

2:35 PM


You

Cynthia! Thank God, you’re okay. Where are you?

2:36 PM


Cynthia:

I’m at your cousin Alice’s apartment. It’s safe here for now. We need to talk.

2:38 PM


You:

Got it. I’m on my way. But what exactly happened? You had me worried...

2:40 PM


Cynthia

It was Mike. He... he killed Tom. I have a video showing him in the act. He’s suspicious, so I ran.

2:41 PM


You

Oh my God, this is terrible! How did you manage to escape?

2:45 PM


Cynthia

He didn’t know I was there. I was supposed to be at the salon with his wife, but I came back home to get my card. I’m scared of what he’ll do when he finds out I know.

2:48 PM


You

You did the right thing. But we need to take that video to the police. It's the only way to protect you and ensure he pays for what he did.

2:50 PM


Cynthia

I know, but I’m so scared. He’s dangerous, and I don’t know what else he’s capable of.

2:52 PM


You

Don’t worry. I’ll be with you. I’ll be there in a few minutes. Keep the video safe and don’t talk to anyone until I get there. And what about the documents? Do you have them?

2:54 PM


Cynthia

Yes, I have the documents. Please delete all our messages. We can’t take any risks.

2:56 PM


You

I’ll delete everything right now. We’ll get through this. Hold on tight.

2:58 PM

Samuel A. Palmeira "Navegar o mundo moderno é como tentar caminhar sobre águas inquietas, onde tudo é fluido, temporário e em constante movimento. As certezas se dissolvem, e a identidade, moldada por laços efêmeros e conexões voláteis, se reinventa a cada momento. Criar nesse cenário é um ato de equilíbrio entre a solidez dos sonhos e a fluidez das oportunidades, um reflexo da busca por significado em um oceano de incertezas." (Samuel Palmeira)
