Today the topic was football. Pop was having a terrible time accepting this year's performance of his beloved Eagles. It was a long-standing tradition for him to swear that the next year would be better for x, y, and z reasons. He held to that tradition even now, but the predictions and the lecture had a flat tone to them that was very untypical of Pop Angelone.

He wouldn’t be here for next season, and we all knew it.

“I think we’ve got a new recruit for our local jobs, Pop,” Dario interjected almost desperately into the conversation. Pop raised his eyebrows, waiting for more information. “You probably know him – Leo Bianchi? He’s a few years older than us, but he’s been in the business his entire adult life. He got a good job down here in the city, so he’s moving his family down to the neighborhood. He’s askin’ to transfer stores.”

“Leo... Yes. I remember that little shit. Turned out to be a rather decent associate – though we all had our doubts when he was young. He’d be a great asset to you, but I guess that’s Maximo’s call now, isn’t it?” Pop looked at me expectantly.

Dario and I had only briefly discussed Leo’s possible transfer. I’d been too preoccupied to form any real opinion on the matter. And now they were both looking at me, waiting for my final say-so.

“We definitely need more bodies. This overnight shit is getting old really fast,” I threw out, still having absolutely no actual feeling about the situation.

Dario was nodding, and Pop joined him. “That’s about as official as it gets, then. Lighten your loads! You kids got lives to live!” Pop declared, still having an undeniable note of authority and decision, even though he looked like a skeletal depiction of his formal self.

Apparently, that was good enough for everyone, and I relaxed a little, hoping we could talk about fucking anything besides the business – except for possibly next year’s football season. There was knocking at the Angelone front door and Dario hopped up to get it this time.

“Visitors... Always with the visitors...” Pop was mumbling, looking sleepy now. “You’d think I was a rare artifact at a museum, Maximo.” He attempted a chuckle, and I attempted to return one, but he had passed out cold regardless.

“Max,” Dario called, returning to Pop’s room with a look of extreme discomfort. I stood, alarmed. “Lucy’s here. She was “in the neighborhood” and thought she’d just stop by...”

I felt my chest contract. Lucy was here. At Natalia’s house. Uninvited. Most certainly unwanted. Had Nat seen her yet... Horror rushed through my body and I was swiftly moving down the hall, past Dario. If I could get to her soon enough, I could get her the hell out of here before –

I heard their feminine voices coming from the living room, but couldn’t make out what they were saying.

Oh holy shit.

Coming around the corner I saw what I suddenly realized was my worst nightmare. Lucy
