Kate POV

On July 26, 1974, Roger was twenty-five and I organized a birthday party for him, along with Clare and our friends, and Rog was very happy. With the money Roger won the race, he bought a new car, an Alfa Romeo light blue.

August 1974.

I was on vacation from work as an English teacher and my Master's classes will start in September. One great news I had to share with everyone was that my book will finally be edited by a publisher giving new writers a chance. Roger was very happy for me and everyone congratulated me.

During the month of August, Queen recorded the band's third album, Sheer Heart Attack, at Trident Studios, as well as Rockfield Studios and other studios. A UK tour the band would begin in late October. Roger was writing the song Sheer Heart Attack, but stopped in the middle.

"I have no idea to finish writing the song, Kate," Rog said to me worriedly.

"Rog, if the idea does not come now, an hour will come," he said to him, smiling. "What matters is that you're trying."

When it was mid-August, Brian had to go back to the hospital because he had a bad time during the recordings of the band's album. Doctors discovered that he had an ulcer in his stomach this time and would have to stay in the hospital for a month for more care.

"I can not believe Bri got sick again," Freddie said thoughtfully. "But when he re-records, he'll have to put the guitar solos in my new song, which will be very successful. The name of the song is Killer Queen.

"I'm curious to hear that song," I told him.

"You'll hear soon enough, dear Kate," smiled Freddie.

Time passed by quickly, until September.

September 1974.

POV Michelle Ma Belle

Monday, September 9, 1974.

Joseph Marion called me to talk to him in his office.

"We can not put it off any longer, dear Michelle Ma Belle, you will have to do what I am asking," said Joseph.

"But it's too risky," she said worriedly. "And if they discover my identity?"

"It's a risk you really run, but there's no alternative. Here's the check with the large amount you asked for - He shows me the check, but, you'll only get the check when you do what I'm asking.

"Okay, if there's no other way, I'll do as you're told," she said worriedly. "What if I can not keep up with what you're asking?"

"Either way you'll have the check, I'm a man of words," he said to me, smiling.

"Okay, I'll do what you ask me to do," I said unconvincingly.

Roger POV

We are already in the third week of September and the Master's classes have started. Kate is very happy because she returned to teaching English, she started her Masters and also because her book will be released soon. I am more and more in love with my friend, but I lack the courage to open my heart and tell her everything I feel. But, I will have to do it at any moment, therefore, I can not hide anymore what I feel for her. Freddie's twenty-eighth birthday was on September 5 and Kate also had a celebration for him in her apartment.

Today is Wednesday, September 18, 1974. The boys and I are entering the final stretch of recording the Sheer Heart Attack album. And I can not finish writing my song that goes the name of the album. We're also doing a photo shoot with Mike Rock and Luke for the release of the band's third album for the tour. Only the photos on the cover and back cover of the album that will be made in early October are missing. The Queen's UK tour will be at the end of October.

It's now eleven thirty in the morning and in a little while the band will stop the recording for lunch a little.

POV Michelle Ma Belle

I arrive at Trident Studios, about noon, and I show my journalist credential for New Musical Express magazine. Of course in my credential is another name and talking to the people in charge of Trident Studios, said he would like to have a quick interview with the boys of Queen, before they go to lunch. Those in charge took me to a waiting room and told me that I will have to wait to see if they can see me. I was wearing sunglasses, a scarf on my head, without revealing my hair and a part of my face was hidden. After the person who answered me left the room, telling me that I would talk to the boys, I let them spend about five minutes and looking around and see if there were any cameras in the room and seeing that there was not I leave quickly, between the corridors, to search for the right room.

Roger POV

We were finishing recording the first part of the day. Noon the boys and I stopped in for lunch when one of the representatives from Trident Studios said,

"Guys, before you have lunch, there's a New Musical Express journalist, wanting a little interview with you.

The boys and I smiled wryly.

- Fair Journalist for New Musical Express magazine? - Said sarcastic smile - What do they want? Stop talking badly about the band?

"I do not know, but I think you'd better talk to the journalist, even if it's quick and then you're going to have lunch," said the Trident Studios representative.

"Okay, darling," Freddie said, and we unplugged the instruments and followed the young man into the waiting room.

"But the journalist was here just now," the representative said. "Has she gone to the bathroom?"

"Maybe," Freddie said. "We'll wait for her here, but I hope she's not late, because we have lunch."

"I'm going to the bathroom and I'll be right back," he said to Freddie and the others.

I leave the waiting room and go to the men's room. When I leave the men's room, I walk past the room where all the video and audio recordings of the bands are and I hear a noise as if something is falling. I walk into the room and look around to see if anyone was there, maybe needing help, for something. When I walk into the room, I see a woman with sunglasses, jeans, a shoe and a big scarf covering all her hair and a part of her face, is Michelle Ma Belle.

I approached her, who was holding some copies of videos and recording audios from Queen's new album.

- What do you want to do with the videos and audios from Queen's new album? I asked her and the woman stood like a statue.

I realized she was scared ...

- If you think these are the original recordings, you're wrong Michelle Ma Belle - Said angrily - I know it's you, now tell me what you want to do with the recording copies of the band?

At this point I grab Michelle Ma Belle's arms and she lets Queen's video and audio copies fall to the floor.

"I'll finally know who you are, dammit," she said angrily as she tried to pull away from me.

Until I could pull the handkerchief that enveloped his hair and a part of his face and he fell to the ground. At that moment I could see who was the woman who during this entire time had the identity of Michelle Ma Belle.

- I can not believe it's YOU! - He said in surprise.

To be continued.
