At the age of 6 Elmer was in an accident which damged his frontal lobe which was responsible for feeling emotions like love, hate, anxiety and yes even guilt.
This came in handy in the kind of job he found himself in as a gardener. You would think its for plants but no humans.
Due to his detachment for humans he developed interest for plants, which also happened to be the family business.
He interest for plants, care and the chemistry in which he paid attention to it was not the only factor that made his plants thrive. When he was asked he said "the fertilizers are very important" and who would have thought that corpses were his major fertilizers.

It started off with detective Torres and Detective Carrera of pontevedra PD from the missing persons department investigating the disappearance of Anton Garcia Martin. His body hadn't been discovered but his belongings were found on a beach. His clothes were properly folded on the beach which made the detectives suspect he may have gone for a swim.
Which pegs the question
Did he drown or commit suicide?

The wife and child of the alleged deceased didn't have an idea what was going on. They identified the clothes as his but didn't know what to think because he was okay before leaving them on the day he disappeared.

Sabela Costeira walked into Flower nursery asking for a personal meeting with Mrs Jurado . You could tell Sabela was wealthy with her rich looking attire and shades. Rich people always come with rich request. She came with no little request. She wanted a hit on a lady she felt was the reason for the loss of her son. She would pay anything to see her in the ground. Mrs. Jurado assured her that taking care of problems was her forte but it always takes time because they always do a good job of making the problems disappear.

Elmer (gradener) and his mum (Jurado) were in the business together. As a matter of fact the mum gets the job and Elmer delivers. Elmer spies on his targets for a while waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike so as to erase them easily.

Nothing more shocking than seeing Elmer crying for the first time. I thought he couldn't feel anything due to the damage done from the accident.

He was doing some presentation with his mum at their garden. With invited guests and camera shuttering lights on his face. He seemed to be coming up with an anxiety attack because of the people arround. So he quickly ran out from there and was walking through an alley and suddenly collapsed. When he regained consciousness, a beautiful lady, on a brown leather jacket, with an eyes so beautiful that you see the world as a beautiful place and her lips so red that it was inviting ran over to him giving him a hand. She actually diagnosed it as a low sugar attack saying that when her students felt the same way she always had a candy prepared for them. Which made Elmer ask if she was a teacher.

It seemed that meeting actually made an impact on Elmer because on his movie night with his mum, he ran out to his room and cried. For the first time he experienced an emotion that all along his mother had been teaching him to act. Yeah, his mum taught him how to laugh and when, how to react when an ant climbs on his shoes and so on.Violet on Elmer's mind. It seemed to look like the feelings was mutual because Violeta also had him in mind.

                †††††††††††††††††††††††††

Of all people, of all ladies, the one who came to his aid when he was on the floor and with a low blood sugar was the same lady who had a hit on her back and ironically he was the one to eliminate her. But what is he going to do now when he is so much in love with her.
