After generations of men in the Giordano family, the idea of a baby girl was a mere dream.

"Hey, do you think we'll get out of here someday?" Theo whispers from my right.
I officially lost count of how long we've been here. I think it's almost three days.
From time to time, they take us out of the cell for interrogations. When they realized none of us is going to say anything, they kinda left us to rot, only bringing the smallest amount of food they can once a day. Pricks.
No way this shit is legal, but hey. What can we do about it?
Currently, we are all lying on the dirty floor, trying to cool ourselves with it. It's disgusting, it truly is. It smells like millions butts, but growing up in an orphanage, where you shared everything with dozen more kids, made us immune.
I snorted and turned my head towards him. "Why? got somewhere else to be?"
He smiled tightly and brushed my nose. "You're so funny, Ollie."
I rolled my eyes and got back to staring at the ceiling.
"At least Keyla's dogs are out of sight." Ares mumbled from my other side.
He's lying on his stomach, while his head is buried inside his now-blooded shirt.
After a few seconds, he lifted his head in such a hurry that made me look at him alerted.
His intense gaze and squinted eyes put me on edge. "Ares? what's wrong? Are you-"
"I'm so fucking hungry."
Just from the thought of food, my stomach grumbled, loud enough for Theo to hear and snicker.
"Shut up before I make you our next meal." Ares growled, pointing at him. After that, he rose to his feet, stretching dramatically.
"No but like, seriously. How long we're gonna be in this shitty place?" Theo ignored the comment and got up as well.
He paced slowly around, something he often did when his brain ran a thousand miles an hour.
Shit, he's thinking of a plan. I couldn't help but smile, finally, we--
"I say we start a riot." Ares said from the side, all serious.
My smile faltered.
I didn't bother to answer, knowing that Theo will probably smack his head and tell him how stupid this idea is--
"Yes! A riot!" Theo exclaimed, stopping moving at once.
"What?" I cried out, shocked. "Do you even realize how dumb this is?"
I used my elbows to support my weight and looked up at them.
I thought for a moment before speaking. "We just need to tell them that we demand a lawyer or some shit like that, they'll have to provide us one, right?" I tried, offering a solution we can actually do.
