I sat asleep in angelos lap while he sat in a chair.
the sound of the phone ringing woke both of us up.
I shifted half asleep still looking to the phone that sat on the table
I felt Angelo shift awake. I looked to him and we connected eyes before we both looked to the phone. He slowly got up while he moved me to sit in the chair.
He picked up the phone and talked whoever was on it.
His eyes widened and he sat on the ground infront of my chair.
Every word was "ok" or just hums. Made me on edge.
When he hung up.
He lowered his head.
I reached down and hugged his back leaning off the chair.
He reached his hands up and held mine that lightly wrapped around his upper torso.

" they have Corteo... and are interrogating him. They also found out Fango was killed...they assumed it was Corteo and now they're convinced he is the traitor. They told us to go over tomorrow morning."

I sat there taking in the information.
I lowered my head.

" what do we do now.."

The next morning we both got up and got dressed.
I fixed my dress and my hair.
Angelo looked to me and offered his arm.
We walked out and Angelo handed me a pair of sunglasses.

" huh? What are these for?"

" there may be people there that'll know about your heritage... Nero also mentioned not to take you. But if they do assume corteo as a traitor... this maybe the last time you'll see him."

My eyes widened while I took the sunglasses putting them on.
We made it outside and there was this guy with yellow hair and a cigarette that guided us to the place.
We made it to a double wide garage and the closer we got the more sounds of Corteo's grunts were heard. I jolted forward but Angelo held me back and pulled me by my hips to his side.
He wasn't too pleased as well.
The blonde haired guy opened the garage and it showed the back of a well built man who slapped Corteo who was tied to a chair.
I looked around Corteo and saw Nero's uncle and Tigre around him.
I haven't seen Nero's uncle actually face to face.
But the sound of Corteo being desperate to breathe caught my attention.
I held up my hand to my mouth to hold in my protest.

" why'd you go after mr. Nero? Who put you up to it?!"

The man yelled at him.
Angelo walked in with me and Nero turned to look at us.
He saw me and turned to us fully shocked.

" I said-"

I turned to him and whispered in a threatening manner.

" how do you know it was Corteo!"

Nero looked to his uncle then back to us.
He held his hands on my shoulders wanting to lead me out.
The extremely buff man that stood next to Nero nervously spoke up while me and Nero fought, so I wouldn't have to leave.

" he leaked Nero's schedule to Fango, then came back to the island yesterday."

The guy said to Angelo.
Angelo nodded.
Barbero saw me and Nero wrestling and looked to Angelo.

" this man came to throw himself at our mercy, with the info about Corteo."

They were talking about the super buff guy next to Nero.

" the higher-ups want to work with you guys. With fango gone we're done for."

I bite Nero's arm which made him stop and hold it.
Angelo looked at me with wide eyes with the rest of the guys.

" hey."

We heard uncle say.

" you came to us from Orco right?"

" yeah, I'm Carmelo."

The guy with his hands around corteos neck said confused.
Uncle moved him away from Corteo.
