A little later, I stopped the car in the small driveway next to her front door and remembered the first time I had brought her here. That was only about a week ago, but it still felt like half an eternity.

Gia looked from the passenger seat in my direction, as if waiting for something. Finally, she said something. "I appreciate you giving me a ride."

"What you saw today wasn't anything yet. I wonder at what point it'll put you off this life."

"There was a bomb strapped around my torso. I think it's going to take a while," she said joking, shaking her head.

"I'll remind you of that once you react in shock to something."

"As long as you don't drag me somewhere where I have to see dead bodies or dying people " she replied, one eyebrow raised.

I shrugged my shoulders. It was part of my job, but I didn't expect her to expose herself to it. It was strange to think about it at all. After all, Gia was still a civilian and didn't have anything to do with the mafia.

The quiet decision, which had arisen in the back of my head, to let her in on some of our secrets little by little, somehow didn't make the whole affair any better.

It just meant that I wanted to share my life with someone who wasn't part of my family and expecting her to just get along. Gia might have a certain strength and a similar brand of messed up in the head, but that didn't mean that she belonged in my world and could cope there.

"That can be arranged," I replied, nodding my head toward the front door. "You should get some sleep."

"And you? Where will you wreak havoc next?"

"Probably with my brother. I think I should inform him that Moretti was trying to get information."

"You would have been better off taking one of your brothers with you, too," she said, looking thoughtful.

I shrugged my shoulders. "I'm thrilled with the outcome of the whole situation. Besides, Emilio has taken me away from matters concerning the mafia for the time being. Because of the thing with the bomb."

"So he's punishing you."

"That's one way to put it, yes."

"And you're just going to take that?"

Again I shrugged my shoulders. There were enough other things to do. Should I mourn the extra work? Well, some of it was fun, but I could get that for myself elsewhere.

"It won't last long. Natale needs me soon because of the protection money and Emilio is just pissed off because of the Frenchman." I could have elaborated further and explained what Vincenzo had said about the mere idea of doing business with France, but I let it go. It would just be too much of a good thing to inundate her with everything that concerned my daily life.

"So protection money, too," she opined. It seemed as if she was making a note of it and adding this new information to the list she was keeping.

"The only thing we're not involved in is trafficking in women and people," I ultimately revealed.
