Felicia told Matt all about how he should go to María and apologize to her for what he did in the birthday party. Matt did that and they met in a hospital. María was already waiting and Matt talked with her. In the middle of the conversation , Tom came in out of nowhere and tried to get María on his side.

After El Patrón's speech about his life, they went into the feast. There was a big table that had name cards on them to show where they would sit. Matt saw that María's card was at the kid's table. So he replaced her's with Tom's card. Matt didn't like Tom because he acted so innocent around important people or people with higher power but he's a devilish person in front of Matt.

It's El Patrón's birthday and everybody is preparing for his arrival. Celia is dressing up Matt because he knew that he was the specialist one of all. Lots of famous actors, doctors, and ex-presidents went to El Patrón's birthday party.

So far, Matt found what eejit means. An eejit is someone or something that has a chip inside their head and they can't do anything unless they're told to do something. Matt was terrified because earlier in the story, Matt and Tam Lin were on a horse looking around the house when they found a dead worker.

After a while of Matt not talking and having a teacher teach him how to count and all the basic stuff, one day, Matt finally spoke up. He said some bad things about the teacher and about himself. The teacher was in shock and Tam Lin came in. He told her that she was able to do something that everybody else couldn't. She left and Tam Lin to Matt to a place that the Alacranes couldn't find them.

El Patrón had left the big house and Matt got to choose 1 of El Patrón's bodyguards. There were a lot of them but Matt chose the bodyguard with weird ears. His name was Tam Lin. Matt chose him because it said that when he looked into Tam's eyes, he could sense friendliness which was rare for Matt ever since they found out he was a clone.

After months of being in prison, Matt finally got out of prison because El Patrón asked for him to be released and to meet him. They meet and El Patrón talk with Matt only and talks to him about his stories and all his interests.

So far, there was these kids that came up to Matt's window. Matt didn't know who they are but he wanted to play with them because so far, he's never played with anyone except for Celia in his life. He tried to communicate with them but he failed. After they left, he remembered about Celia telling him that there were chupacabras in the night so he wanted to save them.

So far, there's a kid named Matt and he lives with a cook named Celia. She's not her real mother and she admits it to Matt. In the beginning before Matt and Celia, there was a guy named Eduardo who's a scientist (I think) and wants to create babies.
