Lulinha, who was Kardec best friend, was playing for the Santos Football Club (S.F.C.) in Brazil. He had met his best friend when they were playing in S.F.C. and they saw each other almost all the day. But one day Kardec received an offer from his favorite club, Vasco Da Gama. He accepted the offer and left his best friend and his club.

Although Kardec went away from his ex-club he never abandoned his best friend. Lulinha and Kardec always continued to have an excellent friendship; when they were not playing football they were together doing something.

The year after Kardec left S.F.C. Lulinha and Kardec played together for Brazil on the Sub20 World Cup. That championship made the closeness between the two friends stronger. The entire world was talking about those two young players that were playing excellently together for Brazil; of course Brazil won that Cup.

When Lulinha went back to Brazil he received a horrible and at the same time excellent piece of news… The F.C. Manchester United wanted that Lulinha joined them. He couldn’t reject that offer so the day before he signed for the British club he went to Kardec’s house and said to him: - ‘I hope to see you playing for an important club my friend, if not, you will always be in my hearth as the best friend I have ever had’- And that was the last time he ever saw him.

That was the las time I ever saw them

Five years ago, when I (Martin) was in London, I was walking along the street, I suddenly heared a noise, I knew there was something wrong...But I couldn't see a thing.

When I went to see what was happening an old friend appeared from nowhere. He told me that we should run far from where we were¨, because there had been a murder there. He offered me to go to his house.

When we got there we started to talk about what had happened. We talked about an hour. We drank a lot, and that's why my friend, Lucas told me that he was the murderer.I told him that we should go to the police, but when I said that, he punched me in my face and I got uncouncient.

When I woke up I was at the hospital, with a huge bandage all over my head. I was really angry, almost desperetly I run to the police and told them what had happened and what had Lucas done.
As fast as they could they went to catch him...but it was too late, by the time we got to Luca's house he had already escaped and he left a note: "If you don't give me $10000 before tomorrow I'll kill Martin." When I saw my name I freaked out. The policemen told me that I shoudn't worry, because they'd take care of me.
Although those speechs, before I went to sleep, I veryfied that all the windows and doors of my house were well closed.
It was 5 o'clock in the morning when I heard some shooting on my door, it was Lucas and he was with a girl. They entered to my house and appeared on my bedroom with a gun, but I was prepared for this situation, so I took my own gun from my pillow and started shooting without looking my target. They run and escaped ...that was the last time he ever saw them
