"You got everything you need?" Alex asked Teresa.  Teresa nodded looking at herself in the mirror.

"I feel kind of heavy though." She said touching her guns on her side.

"You'll get used to it." Alex said gathering her gear.  Teresa licked her lips. "I apologize for how I treated you." She said.

Alex looked up at her. "It's fine." She said. Teresa nodded her head.  "Y'all ready?" Giovanni asked walking inside the room..

Alex nodded and Giovanni looked at her for a second then looked away. Teresa did the same and grabbed her shoes.

"We'll be down in a minute..everything is ready?" Alex asked.

Giovanni nodded. "Yea I made the call." "Good.. we're gonna need all the backup we can get." Alex said.

Giovanni nodded and walked out the door. Teresa watched him leave and took a breath.

"Whats up with you two?" Alex asked. Teresa shrugged. "It doesn't matter."

Alex raised a brow. "It does matter if that's gonna distract you from doing your job." Teresa was silent. 

Alex shook her head. "That's why I cant be in those things." She mumbled.

Teresa raised a brow. "What things?" She asked. "Relationships." Alex shook her head while Teresa laughed.

"Oh God." She mumbled. "Let's go."

They all got in the trunk except for Alessandro who was still healing from getting shot. The hour drive was silent.

It had never been this quiet. Teresa looked out the window at all the lights.

Chicago was truly beautiful at night. 

When they reached their destination they all got out and walked inside the building. 

"It's too quiet." Alex said. Teresa nodded her head pulling her gun out. Alessio and Alex walked in first leaving Giovanni and Teresa by themselves. 

Giovanni licked his lips. "Be careful." He said. Teresa looked at him. "You to." He nodded and let her walk inside first.

It was dark and they knew they were in a big room. The lights cut on burning their eyes.

"Well! Look what we have here!" Theo yelled leaning against the railing.

They all looked up and frowned when they saw Theo. "So I was right." Teresa said squinting her eyes.

"I knew you'd probably get it..your smart." Teresa sighed. "Let's get this over with." She said pulling her gun out.

The same second she did a circle of guys circled around them pointing their guns at them.

"Fuck..My life." Giovanni mumbled pulling his gun out. "Giovanni." Theo said.

Giovanni looked up at him. "You killed my brother..and sister. So I take someone from you." Theo said.
