“What the fuck are you doing?” Ion narrowed his eyes at me as he looked over my shoulder at the spread of food on the table.

“I’m setting the tone for the evening.” I decided to go with a family-style setting, trying to put our prisoner at ease so she felt comfortable. It would keep Cezar at bay and hopefully get the answers I sought.

“This isn’t your normal setting for a… interrogation.” Ion crossed his arms, scanning the table again like he was trying to find something wrong.

“I decided to change it up. I need to take a more delicate approach since Cezar is here.” Setting the last wine glass on the table, I looked over the perfectly dressed table. Various family-style Italian dishes were in the center: lasagna, stuffed shells, ravioli, a big bowl of salad, and plenty of bread. Popping the red wine, I began to fill the glasses to the appropriate line. I didn't want anyone to get inebriated, so I kept it to one bottle. Eyeing Ion, he gulped, looking at the wine like he might get sick.

“What happens-,”

“I think I just want water. I’ve had a killer headache since the morning, and red wine will just make it worse.”

We will be having dinner, and I will ask her questions.” Sitting in my chair at the head of the table, I lifted the glass of wine and took a sip. Swirling it around in my mouth, I enjoyed the fruit, my clean front end, smooth going down the throat with the dry aftertaste. Turning the bottle around to see the label again, I wanted to remember this one.

“That's it?!” Ion’s exasperated question was to be expected.

I nodded, giving him a little more information. “I got some information already; I just need to confirm some things and see if she can fill in some blanks.” Ion’s shoulders tensed, his lips pressed together in a hard line as he stared at me in disbelief.

Something scratched at the back of my head, like a cat with a post, and I turned around to look at the table. Zeroing in on the fork two table places away that was off center. Marching over to the offensive scene, I moved the fork back into place, and that scratching feeling decreased.

Turning it back on him, I stood up with my glass in hand, circling him. “What are you so worried about, huh? I
