"Dad, I wouldn't be able to make it to Italy anymore. I've got something to deal with first and it's very important" I said as soon as my father picked up the phone from his side. I have decided to cancel the family whatever my father said he wanted with all of his sons including Antonio. I mean I can't just leave Hazel alone, she could die and I don't want an employee die while still with me.

"Tell me the reason!" His voice sounded firm, getting annoyed because of what I just said. I inhaled sharply as I gulped down the little vodka remaining in the cup before settling it down on the desk.

"I just said I've got something very important" I replied. "See Father, I'd make it up to you. I promise, it's just that this thing holding me back from coming over to Italy is very important" I tried explaining maybe he'd understand.

After a lot more of little talks, he finally understand. I dropped the telephone as I found my way out of my office.

"Your work is on the news Ally" Hazel said as soon as she set her eyes on me. Ally? What the fuck is that? I ignored the name she called me as I charged towards the television as I plopped down on the chair.

"Ally? What's with the cold and grumpy attitude" She said almost pouting. The actual fuck?

"Don't call me that" I grumbled as I fixated my attention to the news showing on the television
It was tuned it to SNT (Spanish News Television).

"It was seen that the two people who have been disturbing not only spain but also countries in Europe and going to the Northern, Southern and also Central part of America has been apprehended. Not just apprehended but also killed, it was done by a Spanish Police no other than Louis Diazepam" The news caster said as Louis appeared on the television.

Cocky Bastard!

"Officer Louis, How does it feel to be the one to capture the terrorist that has been disturbing the world for a while now. I mean the Fbi has been involved and not only them but interpol too, how do you feel as a member of the Local Police department of Spain to apprehend them when the two greatest police force couldn't even do it" She asked as she moved the microphone to the mouth of Louis.

"Well, I'd say it is of a great honour and not an easy task to be very precised. I mean, the sleepless night planning on how to execute the plan or when the plan almost failed and I got shot?" He said raising his bandaged arm up.

This motherfucker! Louis Diazepam is one of my workers, he is a member of the Local Police force of Spain and we help him execute some jobs as he got all the praises. I wouldn't say he was a clean cop or a dirty one too.
The relationship between us was that we help him with his shit and he also helps us with ours, that's the smuggling of the drugs and other illegal stuffs. It's a win win for both parties.

"How do you feel watching another person get all the praises for the job you and your crew executed" Hazel asked me drifting me out of my thoughts as my eyes travelled to her bandaged arm where she got shot. It ached my heart to see her hurt, and I don't know the reason I'm feeling so hurt.

"How is your arm?" I asked as she shot me glares. What is up with this girl? "Are you answering my question with a question?" Her tone sounded firm. I shook my head at her childishness.

"Well, it's feel kinda not good but it's just some trade by barter shit" I answered her question. "How's your arm?"

She seemed contented with my reply. "I'd be totally lying if I said I'm okay but I'm getting better. Compared to how I truly felt last week. Don't get me wrong, I mean it was cool that I got my first fucking bullet. I fucking got shot, I felt like a badass for a second. Is it a second? More like a millisecond because the pain came in almost immediately and I was like, Gosh! This is not cool! But I'm feeling alright anyways. Thanks for asking" I gave an amused look and that's really the first time she surprised me with her response. I was expecting something much but not this.

"You're crazy!" I said chuckling. "Pass, that's your name" She crossed her arms across her torso. "What about Lionel and Antonio. I haven't seen them around since  forever you know?"

"Ah! They are in Italy with my father and mother"

"Really? Why are you.. I mean why aren't we there?" She asked now adjusting her sitting position now facing me. I cleared my throat to look at her.

"Well it's more of a family thing, that's the reason you're not there and also I'm here because I've gotta keep an eye on you. You're clumsy and all and coming back to meet a dead body of you..isn't what I am ready to sign up for" I explained as the expression on her face changed. What the fuck have I said?

"But we can go. Afterall you're feeling better and all" I added. "No! I don't want to intrude and all. I'm not a family member and you said it was just for family" She grumbled to herself but I heard her.

And that was what changed her mood.

"You can come along. It's nothing" I reassured her as she smiled. A genuine smile and that seemed to have warm my heart.

"Ally?" She called my attention as I was about to stand up. What's the hell is wrong with her and the sudden nickname she had suddenly developed for me. "Look Hazel! There are many things I can tolerate you for but don't ever call me Ally! It isn't my name and I would never accept him" I half yelled becoming pissed of how stupid the name sounded.

Ally! I repeated in my head. That name gives me the ick.

"When am I going to start my therapy. I mean the doctor said I need them to recover my memory back, it's been over a month now and I don't see a reason why I can't sign up for it now" She ignored the warning I gave not too long ago and asking a question that pisses me off the more.

"There is nothing to remember from your past, Hazel! Trust me" I said in disdain. Turning my back one more time to leave but her voice disrupted me again.

"No offense Allesio, I just want to know where I am from and a lot from my past! I can't continue to sit in your place like a clueless person" She retorted.

"Why don't you just be you for once. You're clueless person after all" I bite back. I knew the words I just spar out hurt her but I really don't care.

"You just seem to spoil good moments don't you" With these, she stood up and ran up the stairs moving away from me.

Do I feel good or bad? I really don't know. I just don't understand my emotions these days.

Feeling a little pissed at her too, I stormed to my study to have some me time.
