It was late at night and we were in a park which was already closed. Well, we cared less cause we had something else to bother about. Charlie.

We were resting our backs against the car and I turned my head to the left so I could see his face. He had already removed the balaclava.

"This is Demorte's fault. He shouldn't have sent him to deliver a message that could just be said over a phone." He said in annoyance.

I disagreed. "It was his punishment."

"Another punishment would've been better."

"That punishment would've been avoided if he actually did the job himself."

He groaned. "You're right but have some fucking empathy."

Oh, I didn't know I sounded that way. "I'm sorry. I'm really sorry for your loss."

He took in a deep breath. "El told him that he wasn't gonna kill him and told him to go. As he turned his back, El sent a bullet into his damn skull."

What the hell? "How can someone be so cruel?"

"Now, that his daughter is dead I'm sure he'll have a piece of his own cake."

"Of course. Why did he have to kill Charlie? That was uncalled for. You didn't even kill his daughter by that time."

"The annoying part was that, he also wanted to kill Kelvin and the other guys but they escaped! Narrowly! I mean...fuck! I remember how Charlie begged Demorte for his life and he just got killed shamelessly like a chicken."

I faced him and said. "Don't worry. You've killed her..."

"That's not enough. That's not enough cause there's still this emptiness...this pain. Charlie was like a brother to me. I mean... I..."

"I understand. I'm really sorry." I felt bad for him. There were no tears but his eyes were really red which reflected his pain. I opened my arms wide and said. "Whenever I'm sad or down...I feel better when I hug my mum, dad or even Daniel my little brother. Hugs are therapeutic for me and I'm sure they can..."

He began to laugh and I wondered. "Damn you talk too much Teresa. Just fucking come here."

I grinned as we wrapped ourselves into a warm hug. I could listen to his throbbing heartbeat and my nostrils were once again filled with his cologne. That beautiful smell. We stayed that way for some minutes then he asked. "You cold?"

"No dummy, you're keeping me warm." We both chuckled and he said. "Just the way I want it."

"Yeah right."

We were still in that position for a minute before I broke the silence. Actually, I was enjoying the silence and warmth but I really had to ask. "How do you feel now?"

He replied. "You said it yourself. Hugs are therapeutic."

I had this joy in my heart cause I was able to make him feel better. I'm a gutsy girl but sometimes, I could be so caring. Throwback to when I was a happy family girl with so much innocence. But, look at me now... hugging a murderer to make him feel better. Woah.

"El would be really mad." I blurted out.

"That's the point. I need him to be furious. And, I want him to come for me so, I could kill more of his loved ones. Sergio is next on my list."

I laughed. "I think you need to calm down. Don't kill anymore people so you won't have much blood on your hands."

"Yes Mum."

We both laughed together.

We were silent again and our ears were entertained by the whirling sound of the wind. We've been hugging for like six minutes already but I wasn't tired. Then, I asked. "Why..." I cleared my throat. "Why did you call me? I mean you could've called anyone else but you called me."

He chuckled. "Are you thinking of something?"

Yes! I was thinking of how special I felt because he confided in me. "Uhmm I'm not. Nothing at all." I needed a degree in lying.

He took in a deep breath and said. "I don't know. I really do not know."

I was kind of disappointed with his reply though but I didn't want to push it. That'd be really weird. He then released me from the hug and tucked the hair that was covering my face behind my ear. I looked away shyly then he said. "Let's go somewhere else."
