Chapter 10

An Offer of Loss

Angelo

Of all the things I’d expected to happen today, this wasn’t alone. Another lead squandered, and now, here I was. In her house. The other time, which was like weeks ago, I didn’t get inside it. I had nothing more than a glimpse of it.

I stumbled upon her house. I was chasing him.

I was chasing Vinicio.

I saw him. I was all alone. I couldn’t call my friends, or else he wouldn’t have managed to escape me. One moment he was right within my grasp, and the next.

Well… the next he was like a mile away from me. Damn, was he fast when he needed to.

I had no idea how he managed to get out, though I did see some Ancelottis with him. They were chasing him. If they were going to catch him again, I had no idea, but they better not.

Or else, I was going to come for them.

Alide found me for the second time by her house. At least, this time, I wasn’t right in front of her porch. This time, she found me on the next block. It was kind of some interesting luck to have her find me when I needed someone to aid me.

She offered me her hand, and I couldn’t even walk. I had to put my arm around her shoulders while she brought me to her place.

“I’m going to thank you for this somehow, Alide, but I don’t want to feel like a burden right now.”

As we clumped ahead, she smiled.

It was the most angelic smile I had seen in my life.

Very bright, like the reflection of the sun on the ocean.

And her hair… Despite the gloominess of Brooklyn at night, it shone so gently. Everything about her just felt right.

She took me to her home. A woman, who I took to be Rita, and then quickly confirmed it, ushered us inside. On her face was an expression of shock. She didn’t think her friend, who was like a daughter to her, was going to bring someone like me in.

I knew I was dangerous.

People like her knew what I was like the moment their eyes landed on me.

“It’s fine, Angelo. You don’t need to thank me for anything. Working for you is already good enough.”

She put me on the couch. My whole body hurt so much. I shouldn’t have rolled down that plaque – or whatever it was called – when I didn’t even know what was going to happen to me.

Vinicio was just so much nimbler, and maybe he even knew the layout of the place beforehand. That would explain a lot.

I shifted on the sofa and Alide went to a room to do something. I questioned myself what it was, but didn’t have time to come up with an answer. She then came marching with a box of medicine packs. She opened one, and Rita, whose eyes were still as wide as before, brought a glass full of water.

“Thank you, you two. I don’t know how I can repay this.
