LEA'S POV
Three of us were sitting in the car in complete darkness.
    "Now listen to me, what you just saw was something not supposed for you two, and i trust Nana that she wont say anything but i don't know you, so i highly suggest you to not say anything or else everything will have consequences." I tell the guy.
     " Ofcourse i wont say anything i don't want to die" he says.
      "Great, now drop me and Nana off somewhere, i need to talk to you alone" i say.
      "What?" Nana says, probably she was in her thoughts all this time.
      "I don't need you to understand me, i think after all this, you need an explanation" i tell her.
      "Okay" she says.
       "Are you sure" the guy asks her.
       "Yes, if she would want to kill us she'd do it before" Nana calms him down. I bet he's her boyfriend.
       "Stop here" i say when i see McDonalds. It's open 24 and it's a good place to talk.
      "Now drive off and if anyone asks you anything say that you haven't even seen me" i tell him.
       "Call me as soon as you get home" the guy tells her and kisses her. Nana gets out of the car after me and we both walk in in MacDonalds at 1AM.
    "Are you hungry?" I ask her and she looks at me like i just put my pistol on her forehead.
   "No" she tells me.
   "Okay" i say, and order a regular menu.
   "How can you eat after this?" She asks me as i bite into the burger.
    "Im always hungry after doing work. Here, have some fries if you want to" i put my fries infront of her.
    "No thanks, if I'll eat anything right now, I'll vomit" she tells me.
    "Okay listen, i have a lot of things to tell and you can ask me questions afterwards" i say in a serious bussiness tone, i forgot how i used to talk to her. All I've been doing these 2 years was killing any type of emotion in me.
     "Ahham, you have a lot to explain" she says and i start talking. I probably talked for 20 minutes, explaining her that my dad is a leader of the gang and I've been trained to do this for years and my mom left my dad because of what he was doing but my dad didn't let me go because i was the only child. I was 14 when i started using a hand gun and instead of taking painting and swimming classes I'd train with my dad. And that it was a plan for a long time that i had to leave my teenage friends and life behind and do this because my dad simply needed someone to continue his way. I told her every detail and she was listening patiently.
   "Okay that explains a lot" nana said, chewing my fries.
    "Ahham" i tell her.
   "So that's why you'd always say no to hanging out on Saturdays  because you had the training for an entire day instead of visiting your grandma" she told me
    "Yeah, my grandparents arent even alive anymore, my dad is an orphan." I said.
    "So everything you and your gang does is illegal?"
     "Yes, we sell drugs all over the USA, own couple of the casinos in italy, clubs in the LA and lot's of shit."
     "And non of you haven't been caught yet?" She asks me.
   "We usually pay police a lot of cash to get away from us, and they do" i say.
   "Wow, just WOW" she says.
    "Yeah, it's been pretty 2 crazy years for me and it was really hard to not contact you, i tried couple times but i saw how happy you were with your new friends and i also didn't want to drag you in this, but now since you saw me literally kill people , i couldn't wait but tell you. It was hard for me to hide all this for so many years" i say.
  "It explains how good you always were in phisical activities and also your dad owning guns" she says.
   "Yeah" i say and bite into another burger.
   "So, how are you in the gang? Did you find your place?" She asks me.
   "Yeah, i felt lonely at the start but i have people that i can trust now. What about you?" Nobody can compare to the way i trust her even tho i lied to her for 6 years and then ignored her for 2 years. It felt hard for me but i needed to be patient since i don't know what she thinks about this.
   "Well, my life's pretty interesting now, i do a lot of things but i could never expect to meet you in this situation. I knew something was off, when you told me you were going in NY, your words didn't feel honest, it's like you tried to hide something away from me." 
   "I know" - I said looking down at my hands,
" im not expecting you to forgive me ".
I shook my head trying my emotions to not take over me.
  "I think that's it? I'll call my friend and she'll drive you home." I say and she looks surprised from the way words come out from my mouth.
  "Okay" she says and tries to smile. I cannot even look in her eyes and I've missed her so fucking much and I've dreamt to meet her and hug her and tell her everything like we used to do when we were best friends. But now im scared, im scared that she'll turn her back on me and judge me and hate me for what i do. She didn't really say anything, she looks really exhausted and confused and i need to give her time.
     I get up and call kiernan, she said she'll be here in 10. I go back to the table and sit down.
  "You know, you've changed a lot" she says.
  "Yeah?" I say knowing exactly what she means.
  "I mean, you look colder and lifeless now, but i guess that's something necessary for your work" she says and her words hit me like a knife.
  "Ahham" i agree like a robot. She doesn't know that I've killed so many people at this point that i lost the count. I had to do horrible things to people and as much as i did it, my emotions were fading away. All i have are thoughts, drifting inside my head. I don't cry, don't smile genuinely. I forgot what happiness feels like. It's just the feeling of emptiness, and i have full control over myself. There's nothing that has even made me weak.
   "Can you remind your boyfriend that he shouldn't say anything?" I ask Nana even tho she doesn't have to do anything for me.
    "Yeah don't worry about that" she says.
    Kiernan pulls up infront of the MacDonalds and we go outside. I sit in the front passenger seat and Nana sits in the back. Kiernan looks at me and i nod my head meaning everything's fine. I ask nana where she lives and after hesitating she tells me.
    We're all quiet while kiernan is driving. Im used to being quiet and being alone with my thoughts. But i feel how awkward it is for nana to be this way.
Thank god she didn't live too far away. Kiernan pulls over infront of  a house. Nana opens the door and closes it behind back.
   "Thank you for the drive" she says and turns her back at me.
   "It was nice seeing you" i couldnt hold it anymore.
   "Me too" she gives me a fake smile with tears in her eyes and walks inside. I feel a lot of pain in my chest. Haven't felt like this in a long time.
   "So how was it" Kiernan asks me.
   "I'll tell you later, im tired now" i say, but i don't feel tiredness in my body, i feel how my head hurts more and more.
    "Guys have been fighting over the fact that you let the guy go" she said.
     "So you followed us?" I ask her knowing they did.
    "Yeah, mattia said he was sure you'd do something stupid" Kiernan said and rolled her eyes.
    "coglione" i say and she smiles.

      We get to the hotel and as soon as i walk inside my hotel room, mattia comes screaming at me while holding a cigarette.
     "Who the fuck was that and how the fuck did she saw everything"  i don't answer anything, instead i take my coat off, walk in my bedroom and start taking my clothes off.
   "Im talking to you" he screams once again, walking inside my bedroom. I dont say anything again, i take my shirt off and put on a hoodie and sweatpants. Mattia is looking at me furious and in need of an explanation. I walk back in the living room and sit down on a chair. Mattia follows and and then looks at me waiting to start talking.
   "Did you get rid of him?" I ask mattia, in a soft, calm tone and look at him like i don't give a fuck.
    "You still didn't answer my fucking question" he says, now throwing his cigarette in the astray.
   "Everythint went fine, i have everything under control" i say and take an apple from the table.
   "Everything under control? WE HAVE TWO WITNESSES WHO SAW HOW WE KILLED 9 PEOPLE AND YOU LET THEM GO HOME?!?" he started screaming in my face, while having an awful face expression.
   "Yes" i say unbothered, taking the knife and cutting the apple.
   "WHAT DID YOU TELL HER" he screams once again.
    "not your bussiness" i say and start eating my apple.
    "i said, WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU TELL HER" now he comes closer, takes my chin and makes me stare directly into his face. I smile, take his hand away from my chin and stand up.
   "Who the fuck do you think you are Mattia Polibio? You're getting brave since finally something went wrong with my business, and you want to act like a boss? Oh the leader you always wanted to be but guess what, while im here, you will never be more powerful than me, i can guarantee you that" i say that in his face, still with a calm tone and a sarcastic smile on my face.
     His eyes are wildly shinning and the next thing he does is put his palm around my throat, and push me against the wall, closing the space between us.
    "How's that you're always so FUCKING calm? What if i choke you now, will you still be that calm?" He asks me, and i feel him choking me harder and harder.
   "Oh Mattia" i moan, "don't you remember i love getting choked" i say and he smiles and quickly lets go off my neck. I laugh out loud while he's leaving the living room.
