Tap...Tap...Tap...
Dad was the first target. Then Julian. Now Dante. Who's next?
Daniel! He's dead! He's a dead man.
"Ari."
My mother's voice doesn't soothe me this time. I couldn't think straight...not because of Dante! But BECAUSE of all the crap that happened.
I can't do this anymore, I need something—someone to calm me but—
A knock on the door startled me, I wish for once I had sow thing to defend myself instead of a syringe and a bottle of antibiotics.
The syringe.
As the door opens I'm surprised to see a nurse walk with a dinner tray, but I knew it had been from Dante's mom and mine because the overwhelming smell of Chilaquiles, made my mouth watery.
"Mr. Mendoza, you have a visitor," the nurse said, setting the tray of food on the table closest to Dante.
"Who is it?" I replied coldly, it wasn't meant to come out so harsh but I clearly said that I didn't want anyone to be here except me.
"She's from the police department—didn't quite see her badge but she says she's from Kenosha, Wisconsin," the nurse r plied to my coldness, she probably has gotten worse replies in the year she's work here. "Her names Natalia, she says she could help you."
Natalia? I for sure didn't know who this lady was or why she wanted to help me but if it helped me find Daniel and kill him...well that won't make be me better than my older brother.
So I smiled to the nurse, and said, "tell her she can come in."
The nursed nodded and shut the door.
I waited.
Until..."Well Aristotle it had been time I met you, some say your hard to track because of the charm you have," Natalia said between the shadows.
Aristotle couldn't she her because she was intertwined between light and shadow. But she heard her voice.
"My names Natalia, I come from Kenosha—well technically I came from Oregon but I think you get the point.."Natalia came closer to Dantes bed, I stood up quickly making sure she wasn't one of those hired assassins who came to end his life or mine. I wouldn't let that happen, not meanwhile I'm here. "Relax, Aristole. I'm here to help you. I know where Daniel is and Peces. But you need to calm down, your energy is quite strange."
"What the hell are you talking about? Dante and I have finals for science in two weeks, so do me a favor and stop talking science because if you don't—"
"Don't what? Oh please, you don't scare me. I been on worse cases than this godlike mysterious killer thing."
"This case isn't godlike!"
"Yes it is."
"No it's not!"
"It is."
"I ain't."
"It's is and I can prove it because I know what is like loosing someone that meant the world to you but finding out that he's someone entirely —that's not a coincidence."
"Really? Prove it, Natalia."
