"You wanna marry her?" came Giovanni's voice.

"Couldn't even smile when you popped the big question could you?" Gomez muttered, shaking his head.

"He didn't even take her on a single date first," Severn looked at his two brothers with fake disappointment.

"Hell, he didn't even get down on his knee!" Giovanni cried in realisation.

"Shut the hell up you three," Phoenix turned and gave them a scowl.

The three of them looked at him for a second and then broke into laughter, unable to keep up the pretence any longer. I wished that I could laugh too but I was so scared, it was impossible to join in. They quietened down after a second glare from Phoenix and I waited silently to hear what he had to say. His eyes locked with mine and I found that I couldn't dare look away.

"I want you to spy for me," Phoenix said, completely serious.

I was speechless and Walter seemed to be too because neither of us said a word.

"The Santiagos don't know you're involved with us and they have no reason not to trust you," Phoenix said, walking further into Walter's room. "The bonus is that Ario and you are somewhat acquaintances, so I've heard, therefore getting through to them would be easy."

"No," Walter snapped, finally finding his voice. "I don't want her anywhere near them, especially not blue eyes, and don't even get me started on her being in the same building as Diego."

"Yeah," the triplets murmured amongst themselves. "Mop head is a bit of a perve. Not gonna lie."

"You Phoenix can go shove your proposal up your – "

"Walter," I said, putting my hand over his. "Relax, please."

"Think about it," Phoenix said to me.

"Do you even know her name?" Walter growled at him, standing up and pushing his chair back.

Phoenix didn't answer, he only cast me a look and left the room, pushing the triplets out of the way as he did so.

Walter muttered insults under his breath and I held his hand, trying to calm him down. Maybe that was my only chance to try and prove myself to Phoenix, perhaps he would have started to like me more...but I couldn't go behind Walter's back nor did I even want to get close to the Santiagos anyway.

Ario included.

I could do without ruining my relationship with Walter.

"Coral, listen to me," Walter said after taking a deep breath. "I don't want you involved with the gang in any way. The less you know, the better. You understand where I'm coming from?"

"Of course I do," I said, looking down at my lap.

"It's not safe and we both want the best for you," Walter went on. "I'm not the kind of gang member who manipulates and makes their girl commit crimes for them, and I will never be that kind of guy. The last thing either of us wants is for you to get arrested for any kind of gang affiliation. I wouldn't be able to forgive myself."
