The Girl At His Door [Parts I & II]

Chapter-4

"What the hell do you mean the treaty is off!?"

"I mean that the treaty is off."

I stood up and shook my aching wrist.

"Don't tell me you believe this little bitch!"

Angelo sighed.

"Marino. Don't make this any harder than it has to be."

   "No! I want a damn explanation!"

"Fine."

Angelo stalked towards Warren.

"You, Marino, killed the mother of my kid. And I can't let that pass. La famiglia è prima di tutto. You know that's our family motto." He said in his face.

  Marino was speechless, just like me.

He referred to me as his kid.

The only person that ever saw me as their anything, was my mom.

"Adaline wanted to die. She knew what would happen each time she spoke about another man."

I flinched. I didn't want to think about those times.

   "Doesn't matter Marino. Now, I'm afraid we must go, but I would love to kill you sometime." Angelo said with a clearly fake smile.

  I quickly followed after him.

"Ugh! That girl is such a bitch!" Warrens... friend said.

Angelo waved his hand, without even looking behind him.

    "Yes Capo." I heard Gino say.

I saw him pull a gun from his waistband.

I turned around so I wouldn't face him, and it was just in time to hear nothing but a gunshot.

   Great... murder. Gross.

Angelo led us to the car, and got into the drivers seat, Gino in the passengers, and myself in the back.

"Mercury, what motel are you staying at?" Asked Gino.

"Elias inn. Why?"

"We are getting your things...duh."

"And where the hell am I staying?"

He gave a hopeful look to Angelo.

"No."

"Oh come on! What if Marino goes after her again?"

"Look, I said I might help. I helped."

Gino scoffed.

"Yeah. Barely. All you did was end a thirty year old treaty."

"Yes. That's what I like to call helping little brother."

"Angelo Vincenzo Adam Lesca!" Gino yelled at him.

"Damn. Full name. You're in trouble big guy." I said as I patted Angelos shoulder.

Angelo groaned.

"Are you really going to leave your baby daughter, My baby niece, at some shitty motel?!"

Angelo groaned again and sighed.

He looked in the rear view mirror at the exact same time I did, and met my eyes for a few moments.

"Ugh! Fine!"

He grabbed Gino by the collar tightly.

Gino was still smiling in victory.
