The Blood That Ties Us Together

{57} Information

(Recap:
I showed him the black flowy fabric, before shoving it back inside the bag.

"I'm going to go and start making my dress, bye guys!" I waved, as I walked inside my room after gaining some 'Bye's' from the both of them.)

Everyone, excluding Alessia, was gathered in my office as we went through the surveillance footage.
For the first few minutes, all it showed us was the empty road and a couple of plastic bags floating amidst the breeze. After a few moments of waiting, a car pulled up on the curb, it stood stationary for a minute or two, before Alessia emerged from the car and ran inside.
The man who was driving the car remained parked, as Alessia then ran back outside into the rain to pick up what presumably is her bag of fabric. After waiting a further minute, the car eventually drove off out of our street.

"Can we zoom in to his face? Or ID the plates on his car?" Stefano asked.

"We could, give me a moment," I replied, clicking the keyboards a couple of times.

The resolution of the footage became clearer and I zoomed in slightly, to get a better view of his face, when something clicked in my head.

Andrei.

Alessia would not get into a car with someone she doesn't know, however if it was any other person she would have most likely told us, but she didn't.
She protected his identity, which could only mean it is most definitely him.
I'll have ask her if it really was him.

"Ohh, guys it's fine. It's just Felix," I sighed in what I thought was relief.

I closed the footage down and texted Alessia.

Alessia

Alessia, we were surveilling the footage and I told everyone that it was Felix who dropped you off, go along with it if anyone does ask you. Also, we need to talk, come to my office when you can.

Alrighty, I'll come downstairs in a few minutes.

Within a few moments, everyone filed out of my office and Daniel strode in after knocking on the door.

"Enter,"

He walked in and stood in front of my desk.

"I think she's just making a black flowy dress, no doubt it will look amazing with her skills though. If all of you guys want to "coincidentally" match, wear black, perhaps some silver as well," He began. "She also said that I better not tell anyone, but then again, I didn't tell everyone I just told you,"

"Thank you for the information, you can return to your duties now,"

Daniel nodded and walked out of the room, just as Alessia walked in.

"Did you literally just ask him to spy on me?"

"No, why would I?" I feigned innocence.

"Right, let's pretend I believe that, so I'm assuming you called me here because you know it's not Felix you saw in that car with me,"

"Yes, that is why I called you here, is that who I think it is Alessia?"

"Depends, who do you think it is?"

"Andrei Vasilev,"

"Then it is who you think it is," She sighed as she sat down onto the chair opposite me and my desk.

"I thought you hated him?" I asked.

"I do! It's just that, he made a point that I would have froze and gotten sick if I stayed out there waiting for the rain to stop," She start gesticulate with her hands the emotions she was feeling. "It was like getting into the same car as a stranger! And the strange thing is- as much as I hate him, I miss him, and don't know why! He fucking left me with no warning whatsoever!"

I went over and wrapped my arms around my sister in an embrace.

"It's okay sorellina, I'm here for you," I whispered.
(Little sister)

After a few minutes of her crying, the tears slowly dried out and she sat up straight and wiped her eyes.

"Thank you for that," She smiled.

"You're welcome,"

"Thank you for not telling everyone else about Andrei, I get the feeling I wouldn't like their reactions anyways, either they'd be super ecstatic because it's Andrei and he's a fucking legend in the mafia world. Or they might be very annoyed at the mention of a boyfriend," She rolled her eyes.

"I'm fine with you having a boyfriend, before I wasn't too happy with even the mention of you with a boy, but now I'm alright with you having one. You're mature enough to handle yourself, however whoever becomes your boyfriend we will interrogate thoroughly," I put emphasis on that last word.

"I'd expect nothing less. I'm going to go and make some cupcakes now, that'll cheer me up," She got up from the chair, gave me a quick hug and walked out of my office.
