5. Fango

Here we are. Back on the road again going to diner to diner.
I picked up my spoon full of beans and sighed looking at it.
I took a good bite and slumped back on my side of the booth.
I understood we're hard on everything, cash, food and apparently a shower.
I heard Nero groan and I looked up.

" I'm so sick of eating this stuff."

Nero said while looking at Angelo who was sitting next to me.
Angelo basically ignored him and continued to eat without a word.
Nero frowned..

" I don't know how you two can eat it without complaining...."

Nero lit up a cigarette and I choked on a bean on accident.
Angelo opened one of his eyes and grabbed his water handing it to me while answering Nero.

" you'll get hungry later..."

I thanked Angelo and took a sip of his water.
Angelo closed his eyes again eating his beans.
Nero waved off angelos comment and looked at the clock.

" oh, I've got to make a call."

We all finished up and waited for Nero to finish his call.
I leaned on the wall next to Angelo hearing in.
Angelo looked down at me. he saw my hair and reached up to touch it.
I realized his movements and felt his hand on my head.

" h-hey..."

He retracted his hand and closed his eyes again.

" your hair is greasy..."

" shut the fuck up!"

I hit him.
He just smirked at me.

" A truce with the Orcos?!"

That made both of us stop.
We returned to our spots and listened in.

" what's that all about?"

We couldn't hear the other end. But we tried to put the pieces together.

" and they can't afford to fight both fronts, either, so they want a truce?"

Angelo looked at me and I looked back up to him, meeting his eyes.

"Island?"

We heard Nero sigh.
If only we heard the other conversation...

" he's got his bases covered...well, guess we can come home, then."

I smiled.
I turned up to Angelo excited but saw him mad.

" how come..."

I heard Nero say disappointed...
Something must've happened.
So we can't go home?

" if we're making peace with the orcos, the galassias shouldn't have a problem."

Then silence.
I leaned across Angelo to see Nero's face.
But Angelo yanked me back.
He made a shush movement.
I was confused at first. Nero knows we're here! So why!?

" I'm in portline now. Let's meet at the lodge in two days."

Then we heard the phone hang up.
Nero walked out and saw up.
