"Tell me something, I need to know, then take my breath and, never let it go... If you just let me, invade your space, I'll take the pleasure, take it with the pain," Ariana Grande-Butera
"Please don't touch her," Giorgia shivered as she watched Hughes molest Ada. The Shelby girl screamed for help, kicked and clawed at the Priest as he groped her, removed clothes, and raped her.
"Do you want to be next?" Hughes spat, the Italian girl bleeding out on the floor.
"I said you can do what you want to me, but not her," Gia shouted, clutching her swollen and bruised stomach. Losing his temper, Hughes stormed over to Giorgia and grabbed her by her long brown hair, pulling her to her feet.
"Leave her alone!" Ada screamed as she lay slumped against the wall.
"It's okay, Ada," Giorgia reassured her, "it's okay."
"No," Ada disagreed, "I go with her."
"Oh, a party of three is it?" Hughes smirked.
"No," Gia snapped, "you've already hurt her. You have me from now on."
"Fine by me, princess," Hughes smiled as he kissed her cheek, Ada and Giorgia sharing eye contact.
"NO!" Ada screamed as she ran towards the two, grabbing Giorgia has hard as she could.
"STOP, ADA!" Giorgia shouted, "STOP."
"Why are you doing this?" Ada cried, looking for answers as to why Giorgia was sacrificing herself and her baby.
"Because I've had my time, I've had my children, I've had my marriage. You deserve this," Gia cupped her face, "if I learned anything from that damn war, you give up your life for the ones you love and Ada," she sighed, "I'm already dead."
Ada broke down in a sob of tears to the floor as Hughes pushed Giorgia through to another room. Punching her fists against the floor, Ada cried and cried and cried.

"Ada?" Tommy shouted through the home, looking for his little sister. He checked her room, he checked the betting den and every room in the house, but she wasn't there.
Panicking, Tommy jumped in his car and drove to where Johnny Dogs was setting up camp for the tunnel. Arriving, Johnny ran to the car. "What the fuck are you doing here, Tommy?"
Getting out the car, Tommy proceeded to take off his shirt and chuck it at Johnny. "They've taken my girl, Johnny. Everything fucking changed. I have to get the hole dug before midnight else she's gone, Gia and my daughter. Do you hear me?"
"Are you not going after Giorgia yourself?" Johnny shouted as he watched Tommy climb down the hole and into the tunnel. "Tommy!"
Once down there, Isaiah passed the lamp to Tommy who was now covered in dirt and mud, digging the tunnel down to the Valley where he would claim the jewels he needed in order to get his girlfriend back. Tommy hated every goddamn second of it, the war had ended six years ago and yet here he was, back in his worst nightmare.
But he had to do it. In order for Giorgia, and potentially Ada to survive, he had to dig the tunnel and dig past his fears. Every time he dug into the clay, all he heard was Giorgia's sweet voice telling him to 'just keep breathin'.
He thought he'd heard enough of the picks and the shovels in his nightmares, but as he lay trapped in this dreaded tunnel, every nightmare he ever experienced soon came back to him. He smelt the rotting flesh of soldiers and the smoke from the grenades, he saw the soldiers dead on the floor and the ones carrying their guts around like dirty laundry, he thought back to his family and he prayed the sun would come up.
