XXVI. Dramatic Irony

"Do you want to talk about it?" He asks for the 100th time. I've been sitting here for 20 minutes straight (I'm counting)

while Penny tries to convince me I'm crazy. "No, I don't want to talk about it actually." I say again for the 100th time.

"He's dead, I see him." I roll my eyes. "Anna, I saw you talk to it.. in the casket.." he cringes.

"He's not an it and I was simply saying goodbye! How is that not normal?" I shrug. "Because you were lecturing him about being alive in the casket!"

"No-"

"And you've stopped crying." He raises a brow as he proves his point. "I'm crazy because I stopped crying?" I ask.

"Yes! That's not normal! You choked on your spit in the car and now you're unaffected ?" He asks. "He is alive!" I whisper and exclaim in his ear dropping the act.

"No,anna." He says as he grabs my face and squishes my cheeks together. "I know how hard this is for you but he's gone..forever." He says with sorrow in his eyes.

But I see him alive, I can't be crazy. "What's going on?" Leonardo trails from behind penny.

"Nothing."

"Anna thinks the body is alive."

"He has a name, and no I don't, he's lying." I deadpan him. "Anna That's ridiculous. You're joking, right?" Leonardo says in an angered tone. I must've made him mad for this, but he'll get over it once he sees it's true.

I looked at him guilty, surely I didn't look well in this situation. Once he saw I wasn't going to answer he scoffs and walks past me. I felt a feeling of sorry in my stomach suddenly after, I never meant to upset him.

Penny sees the regret on my face and displays me with his sorrowful look once again. "Penny, I'm fine!" Penny's sorrowful look turns into a stunned one then surprised as he looks behind me.

"What?" I frown, "what is it?" I turned to look behind me but he turned me back towards him. "No, I'll take care of this." He walks away from me but I pull him back, reminding him I'm the older sister.

I turned around and almost had my blood pulse out my eyes. "Kitrill Volkov." i hitched out. "Wolfee." He returns the same greeting with a smirk.

Everyone surrounding him pulls out weapons to point at him but he doesn't look fazed. He comes in a suit with 4 other men with him, to guard him I suppose.

I pull out my gun on him too and hold it up. "What the fuck do you want !?" Leonardo's anger has risen to a bright amount.

He also pulls out a weapon on this nasty man. "Control your whores, Wolfee." Kitrill says as men grab both of Leonardo's arms and hold him still. Of course he protests being held but he can't do much when he's thinking with grief and not common sense.

"I got your message. About handing over your rights." He smirks while looking me in the depths of my eyes. "what the fuck are you talking about!" I step closer to him. Within the snap of his finger his men grab any close victim they could find. Yolonda, Averi and two other men we knew nothing of but I suppose they were family of Lorenzo.

Yolonda instantly starts screaming in the grip of the men, everyone begins to worry about the loved ones that are captured, the civilians are panicking. "Try any funny business and I'll kill them." He says in his thick Russian accent.

"Drop the gun."

"Durrop they gan." I mutter to myself mocking his accent. I then soon placed my gun on the ground. I wave for others to drop them as well. "Let her go!" Penny exclaims behind me.
