I moved down the stairs wiping the last tear away. I reached the same door and found Francesco standing there, talking to someone on his cell, his back facing meI approached him and tapped him on his shoulder to get his attention.
He turned, noticing me a frown appeared on his face. He was confused.
I stood there in front of him folding my hands across my chest, waiting for him to end his call.
He kept looking at me and continued, "Yaa... okay I'll call you later. Ya....no... actually I have got some important work. Ya...ya .... okay"
And with that he ended the call.
"Yes ...so wha-" he spoke but I raised my hand gesturing him to stop talking.
"You were suppose to take me out?"
"Y...Yes" he spoke still confused.
"Good! We are going out! Open the doors"
"But Logan said.."
"Fuck him and fuck what he said. We are going out! OKAY!! Open the damn door!!" I shouted at him.
"O.. okay!"
"Open the door!" I ordered.
He took out a key and moved towards the door and unlocked it.
He opened the door, revealing green land, a stone pathway in the middle leading to the gates. Bright yellow light shining. I ran outside, desperate to go out.
"Heyy!! But what if Logan comes to know that I took you out?" Francesco spoke from behind me.
"Then let him think whatever the fuck he wants to! Doesn't matter!!" I spoke back.
"But I'll be responsible for this and he'll get very angry!" He spoke almost scared.
I turned my back towards him and started moving out and said,"Why are you so scared of him as if he's gonna kill you the moment he notices that I'm out. Please...just stop overreacting!"
"Because he's dangerous and you...you don't know him"
"Well if it comes to knowing him, how much I know about him is enough to know what kind of a person he is. And when I'm no longer scared of him, why are you acting so terrified. And who are you by the way? His friend?"
"Yes, I'm the second in command. I work for him."
"Oh great! So you also kill people!" I mocked.
"It just is the matter how you view us. You can take us for killers, murderers or what ever you feel comfortable with." He spoke in a matter of time as if talking about weather.
"So tell me, why am I here?" I asked facing him, my hands folded around my chest, trying to give him the most intimidating look I can.
"That" he also folded his arms around his chest," is something only Logan can answer." He answered coolly.
I gave him a glare and turned. "I don't understand why is it always about that ass. Why can't anyone just tell me the reason?!"
"Because we are not supposed to!" He replied following me behind as I started walking.
"And why is that? Because the heartless monster said not to?!"
"Well that's a yes. But don't you think you should not be so quick to judge him? You don't even know him...or the reason!"
I don't know what happened but I couldn't answer him after he said that. It felt like what he said was right. So I just continued walking ignoring him.
