Ghosts of Sanfermin, the case of Jenny Sanchez. They say time heals everything, but that's a lie. Some wounds don't close. They just sit there, raw and festering, like open scars that refuse to fade. For Yolanda, the mother of Jenny Sanchez, every single day was proof of that. Ten years had passed since her eldest daughter vanished into thin air, but the pain had never loosened its grip. Yolanda still lived in the same apartment in San Fermin, the same cramped flat with peeling paint and noisy pipes, because to her it wasn't just a home, it was the last place Jenny had been alive, breathing, smiling, hugging her before she walked out the door for the very last time. Jenny's room hadn't changed at all. The posters on the walls, the little stuffed bear on her bed, the book stacked on the nightstand, it was all exactly how she'd left it.

Yolanda wouldn't let anyone touch a thing. One day she'll come back, Yolanda used to whisper to her other kids, Iris and Manuel. And when she does, she has to find everything the way she left it. Just as if she had only stepped out for a walk. Iris, the middle child, used to roll her eyes, frustration spilling out like a wound that couldn't close. Mom, please, she would say, standing in the doorway of her sister's frozen. in room, her arms crossed tight across her chest. Jenny's not coming back.

You have to understand that. But Yolanda couldn't. Wouldn't. The family before the storm. The Sanchez family's story was never easy. Yolanda herself was a migrant, just another face in the waves of young men and women who left Latin America chasing promises whispered across oceans. She had come from Peru, just 18 years old, with nothing more than a suitcase, some coins, and dreams far bigger than her small hometown could hold.

Madrid was supposed to be her new beginning. She imagined herself working hard, building a future, maybe studying, maybe sending money back home to her parents. She didn't picture falling in love so soon, but life has a way of surprising you. She met Juan, a Spaniard from Mercia, while working at a bakery. He wasn't rich, not even close. He was rough around the edges, a man who smoked too much, laughed too loud, but he adored her from the start. With him, she felt safe, as if she finally had someone who understood how lonely a big city could feel. From that love came three children, Jenny, the eldest, then Iris, then Manuel.

Jenny was the golden one, the responsible older sister, the girl with almond-shaped eyes and long black hair who always wore a smile bright enough to warm a room. The Ghost in the House Yolanda clung to Jenny's memory like a drowning woman clings to Driftwood. Every time she entered her daughter's bedroom, tears would roll down her cheeks before she even realized she was crying. Her chest would tighten, her heart twist. She remembered that last day with cruel, painful clarity. Jenny had hugged her before leaving, had kissed her cheek. It had been so ordinary.

No alarm bells, no bad feeling in the pit of her stomach. Just a daughter leaving home like she had a hundred times before. But that was it. The door closed, and Jenny never came back. Hours later, Yolanda's heart had started to race when her daughter didn't answer her phone. At first, she told herself the battery had probably died. By nightfall, panic had already taken over. She called Jenny again and again, but every attempt met with the same silence. By morning, she was at the police station, trembling, clutching a photo of her daughter

like it was the last rope tying her to sanity. Neighbors joined in the search. People who had known Jenny since she was a little girl combed the parks, checked abandoned buildings, even looked in ditches and trash bins. Flyers went up on lamp posts, taped to bus stops, plastered to walls. But Jenny was nowhere. She was only 16 years old. A child. Iris, the voice of reason. Iris had always been the practical one. While Yolanda clung to hope, Iris grew resentful. To her, the shrine of a bedroom was a prison. Every time she walked past it, it felt like her mother was refusing to accept reality. Mom, Iris would say, her voice shaking between anger and sorrow, you can't keep doing this. You can't keep pretending she's going to walk through that door. But Yolanda's response was always the same. She'd clutched Jenny's photo

against her chest, tears glistening in her tired eyes. You don't understand, Iris. A mother knows. Jenny will come home. I can feel it. Iris wanted to scream. She wanted to tell her mother that feeling wasn't proof, that ten years of silence was proof enough.

But instead, she would bite her tongue and walk away, because deep down, some small, fragile part of her still wished her mother was right. A father's death. Jenny's disappearance had broken the family. One, her father, carried the weight of guilt until it crushed him. He was supposed to protect his daughter, supposed to keep her safe. But she had slipped through his fingers, and the burden nodded him day and night. A few years after Jenny vanished, he collapsed from a heart attack. He never got to know what happened to her. He never found peace. Yolanda was left alone, a widow clinging to the ghost of her child. A neighborhood haunted. At first, Jenny's disappearance was the only thing people

talked about in San Fermin. But as the months passed, conversations faded. New worries replaced old ones, bills, jobs, gossip, the usual distractions of life. Eventually, Jenny's face was no longer on the walls, no longer on the news. But Yolanda never let the ghost go. For her, Jenny was always present, always waiting to be found. Ten years later, the vanishing of Laura. Then, just as the neighborhood had lulled itself into forgetting, another girl went missing. Her name was Laura. Same age as Jenny had been. 16. long black hair, almond-shaped eyes, that same radiant, oversized smile. The resemblance was chilling.

When the news broke, Sanfermin shuddered. Memories of Jenny came roaring back, dragging ten years of silence into the light. Whispers spread through the streets, what if it was the same person? What if the same monster who took Jenny had returned? For Yolanda, it was like ripping open a wound that had barely scabbed over. She clutched Jenny's photo, sobbing. It's happening again, she said to Iris and Manuel. The same one who took Jenny has taken Laura.

Enter Inspector I know a Perez. That's when Inspector I know a Perez was assigned to the case. On paper, she was a woman with an impeccable record, tough as nails, sharp enough to slug enough to slug. through lies like glass. But behind closed doors, she carried her own ghosts. Knights haunted her. Memories clawed at her when she tried to sleep. She knew better than anyone how the past had a way of never really dying. Solving Laura's case wasn't just about saving one girl, it was about confronting every demon I knowa had been running from. The challenge was massive. Was Laura still alive?

Was Jenny's disappearance connected? And most chilling of all, was the monster still walking among them, hiding in plain sight in Sanfermin? The hunt for answers was about to begin. Ghosts of San Fermin The investigation begins. Inspector I know a pairrest stepped into San Fermin with the same sharp stride she carried everywhere, her dark coat brushing against her knees as she scanned the streets. The neighborhood was alive with whispers. People leaned on balconies, craned their necks, peaked through curtains. They weren't just curious, they were scared.

Laura's disappearance had ripped open old wounds, and every conversation circled back to Jenny Sanchez. Same age. Same look. Same neighborhood. The words repeated like a... curse. I knowa didn't believe in coincidences. She had been a cop long enough to know that when the same kind of victim disappears in the same place, it's not luck or chance, it's a pattern. And patterns meant predators. Yolanda's house. It didn't take long for I. Noah to find herself standing in front of Yolanda's apartment. Jenny's mother had agreed to speak with her, though reluctantly.

The door creaked open to reveal a woman who looked older than her years. Grief had etched deep lines into her face, and her eyes, once lively, perhaps, were dulled with exhaustion. Signora Yolanda. I knowa asked softly. Yolanda nodded and stepped aside. The flat smelled faintly of bleach and stale bread. On the wall, dozens of photos of Jenny smiled back at her. She was only 16, Yolanda said, her voice trembling as she guided the inspector toward Jenny's bedroom.

My baby. She just kissed me goodbye, and then, nothing. The room was a time capsule. Posters of boy bands still clung to the walls. A half-used notebook lay on the desk, its pages yellowing at the edges. A teddy bear sat on the bed, its fur worn from years of hugging. Have you changed anything? I Noah asked.

Not a thing, Yolanda whispered. I promised myself she'd come back. And when she does, I want her to find her world just as she left it. The inspector's chest tightened. She'd seen shrines like this before, but each one carried its own weight. She glanced at the framed photo on the nightstand, Jenny's wide smile, frozen forever in time. Conversations with Iris.

Later that evening, I Noah met Iris in the kitchen. The young woman had her mother's features, but her gaze was sharper, angrier. My mom can't let go, Iris said, arms crossed. She's drowning in memories, and it's killing her slowly. Every day, she waits for Jenny, but Jenny's not coming back. She can't see that. I know I studied her. And what about you?

Do you believe your sister's still alive? Silence stretched between them. Iris's jaw clenched, her eyes glossing over with unshed tears. Finally, she whispered, no. I think she's gone. I think she's been gone since that night. But I can't say that out loud without breaking my mother's heart. Manuel, the quiet brother.

Manuel was younger when Jenny disappeared, only a child. Now, nearly grown, he carried himself with a reserved heaviness. I barely remember her voice anymore, he admitted when I Noah spoke to him. I hate that. I remember her smile, though. She always smiled at me, even when I annoyed her. His words cut deep, the kind of confit. that comes from someone robbed of a relationship too soon.

Inspector I. Noah's own ghosts. At night, when I knowa returned to her office, the weight of the case pressed hard against her chest. She pulled open her desk drawer and stared at the photo hidden inside, a girl with bright eyes, her own little sister, gone years ago under circumstances hauntingly familiar. That was her ghost. That was why she fought so hard. hard. Every missing girl reminded her of the one she couldn't save. And Jenny, Laura, they weren't just cases. They were echoes of her own past failures. Theories in the neighborhood

The neighborhood of San Fermin buzzed with theories. Some whispered about human trafficking rings, others about a predator hiding in plain sight. A man at the corner bar swore he had seen a black van cruising around on the night Laura disappeared. A group of teenagers claimed they had spotted a strange figure near the park, someone who didn't belong. Fear spread faster than facts. Parents clutched their daughters tighter. Curfews were enforced at home. The once lively streets emptied earlier, the laughter of children replaced with heavy silence. Linking Jenny and Laura I NOAA dug into old files, pulling out the dusty folders from Jenny's case.

The similarities were undeniable. Both girls were 16, with long black hair and almond-shaped eyes. Both disappeared during the summer months. Both vanished within blocks of each other. The photos stared back at her from the case files, Jenny's radiant grin, Laura's hopeful gaze. It was like looking at mirrors. Her gut screamed what the evidence whispered, it was the same person. Yolanda's breakdown.

One night, Yolanda sat in Jenny's room, clutching the teddy bear as tears soaked its worn fur. Iris stood in the doorway, watching her mother crumble again. Mom, please, Iris said softly, you have to stop torturing yourself. Yolanda shook her head violently. You don't understand. Jenny is out there. She has to be. I feel it. A mother knows. But what if she's not? Iris snapped, her voice breaking. What if she's gone and she's never coming back? Yolanda's eyes widened with fury and sorrow. Don't you dare say that. Don't you dare say that? Don't you dare to kill her twice. The silence that followed was suffocating. Inspector I. Noah's determination. The weight of the case grew heavier with every passing day. I Noah knew the answers were buried

somewhere, in old files, in forgotten testimonies, in people too scared to talk a decade ago. She promised herself she wouldn't let Laura suffer the same fate as Jenny. She wouldn't allow another goes to join the chorus haunting San Fermin. But to save Laura, she had to dig into Jenny's past. And that meant facing shadows darker than she'd ever imagined. The neighborhood holds its breath. San Fermin, once a quiet working class district, was now suffocating under paranoia. Parents escorted their children everywhere.

Strangers were eyed with suspicion. The smell of fear hung over. the streets, thicker than summer heat. Jenny's ghost had never left, and now Laura's disappearance made sure no one could ignore it anymore. For Yolanda, it was proof her daughter's story wasn't over. For Iris, it was reopening a wound she had tried desperately to close. For I knowa, it was a test of everything she stood for.

And for the neighborhood, it was the terrifying realization that the monster who stole Jenny might never have left. Closing. The case was no longer just about Laura. It wasn't just about Jenny. It was about justice long denied, answers long buried, and a predator who had hidden among them for too long. An inspector I know a Perez, haunted by her own ghosts, was the only one willing to drag

those shadows into the light. The question that burned in everyone's mind was simple. Would she be in time? The end.
