Once I’m out of the bathroom, Rocco trains his gun on me again.

“Walk,” he says. “Through the door.”

I step outside into the hallway.

“Right,” Rocco barks.

I enter a big room to our right. There’s a huge table for maybe a dozen people, and Adriano is sitting in one of the chairs. The table is filled with food, and there are two empty plates.

“Take a seat,” Adriano says.

I glance at the windows. They’re huge too, and I can see some buildings through them. We’re somewhere in the city. Somewhere high up. Jumping out of the window is out of the question then, unless I want to die.

As I sit down across from Adriano, the whiff of food makes my stomach rumble. It suddenly seems like ages since I last ate something. My stomach is a hollow pit, and everything on the table looks appetizing. But I don’t move. Filippo’s face fills my mind.

“Don’t touch it! I fucking paid for it! You eat when I tell you you can!” he screams at me, the artery in his neck pulsing.

A shiver runs down my spine as I return back to the present. Adriano watches me with interest as he gets some food on his plate.

“I hope there’s something on this table that you like,” he says. “You must be hungry.”

Starving, more like it. I’m going to need my energy, so I fill my plate with a little bit of everything. Adriano chews his food, but he keeps staring at me as if I’m some kind of exhibit, or a puzzle that he has to solve.

“What do you want from me?” I dare to ask after I’ve eaten half of my food.

If he gets mad at me and sends me back to his room, at least I won’t be hungry.

“I’m sorry about all this. I know it must be frustrating and scary, but I need you to get what I want. You’re just a pawn on a big chessboard.”

“Then why don’t you let me go? I’m no one important. I’m sure you can get everything you want without me.”

“Your father is in an area without phone service, so until he answers my call, you’re stuck with me.”

“You want to get your hands on my house and my dad’s restaurant?”

“Don’t take it personally.” He smiles. “I want to build something bigger and better there. Why would you want to live the rest of your life in that old, boring neighborhood?”

“Because it’s my home!” I raise my voice without meaning to.

“You can get a new home somewhere else. Your father should’ve just agreed to sell. With the money—”

“You don’t understand. Not everything is about money!”

“That’s what delusional people tell themselves, but no, it’s not true. Everything has always been about money and always will be.”

I furrow my brow. “Is this your home?”

“Yes, why?”

“What if someone wanted to chase you out of here? What if they destroyed everything?”

He shrugs. “I’d move somewhere else.”

“Isn’t there anything you like about this place? Really like?”

He tilts his head as if he’s thinking hard about it.
