More than 80000 people gathered in and around the Metropolitan Cathedral to witness the burial, but chaos broke loose. Bombs began exploding and gun shots were flying every were. THe people there panicked and everyone ran towards the cathedral. Because of the panicked people, Nicolás and his mother had no choice but to lay low in the ground and pray not to get hit. His mother wrapped around him and prayed to his ear, people running and stomping them. She hugged Nicolás tight when suddenly she becomes limb, a bullet whent verticalyl down her skull. After the chaos ended, the police were in control, and the dead and the wounded were taken away. Nicolás mother above him, did not noticed that his mother was killed. The police grabbed her and dragged her to the cathedral. He then went out looking for her, not finding her. He flashed back when he was drowning and his mother saved him and there he mentions, "now it is my turn to rescue her." His mother got killed by the Guerrillas who opened fired on the people, and because of his innocence, does not know that her life is gone and becomes determined to find her and never let go of her.
