Tristian/Antonio

I watched as he tried to catch his breathing while the guy who was driving had lost consciousness.

"Who the hell are you?" He asked me.

I couldn't help but look at him in amazement. I know that him and Alora are twins, but the resemblance is something else.

"Oh... me?" I asked before using the gun to tilt his head, forcing him to look up at me.

"Let's just say that I have a special relationship with your dear sister" I replied, watching as he looked shocked that I mentioned Alora.

"What did you just say?" He asked me, a look of anger now on his face.

"How the hell do you know my sister? There's no way she'd be associated with some crazy guy like you" He added.

He clearly doesn't know her that well, considering who she's been hanging around lately.

I couldn't help but laugh at his words, "There's a lot more that I know than you think. Believe it or not, your sister and I worked together to track down Diamanté" I stated.

"Oh yes, thank you for sharing that photo with her" I then said, him now looking confused.

"You did a remarkable job of concealing the message. Red oak is not commonly used for ships due to its susceptibility to water damage. So by you taking a picture of the floor, you intended to tell Alora that you were on an anchored ship... though unfortunately, that didn't get cross to her" I smiled.

"You son of a bitch. What the hell do you want-" He began before groaning out as he leaned against the seat, his eyes closed shut.

"Damn it" I heard him mutter out.

I then crouched down to get a better look at him, seeing that he was hurt pretty badly. But he wouldn't die from something like this.

"Oh my... we can't have you losing consciousness just yet. We haven't even began our conversation properly yet" I sighed.

The guy next to him then began to cough as he sat up, now looking at me. "You bastard!" He yelled out.

I tilted my head as I looked at him, "You're still awake? After taking that crash head on, I thought you'd be out for a good while-" I began.

"You're the real Antonio Ricci, aren't you? You can't fool me!" He asked.

I looked at him for a while before smiling, "Have we met before?" I replied. The more I looked at him, he did look a bit familiar, I just couldn't remember where I'd seen him before.

"You're sick in the head! How dare you follow us here!" He yelled out, looking as if he'd pass out at any moment.

I found myself getting irritated with him, "For someone whose life is on the line, you sure do have a lot to say" I said before aiming the gun his way, shooting the window next to him.

"Mr. Ricci!!" Logan yelled out.

I then stood and saw that he was running towards me, "You've gone too far this time!" He proclaimed.

"I was only giving them a little scare" I replied, watching as he leaned down to get a better look at Arik.

"You know that's Alora's brother! Her whole purpose of coming here was to find him. So how could you-" He began before I pressed the gun up against his forehead, his voice faltering.

"Have you forgotten who your client is?" I asked as he looked at me.

"Don't test my patience" I added.
