Chapter 30

Chiara was going to investigate in that house. She had to know what was there. She had to find the connections. The photos she had seen in Carlo’s home and at the restaurant were connected to that house, though he was totally unaware of it. Of this, she was positive. Even the phone records and movements didn’t indicate anything suspect. She ran two ringers on her temples, and then she grabbed the phone. It was ringing:

“Hello, sis’!”

“Chiara, hi. Look, are you okay? I heard worrying news. Are you all right?”

She sighed. Her sister was a Carabiniere, not a policewoman, but she could be informed. Suddenly, she wanted to tell her everything, to let off steam:

“It’s quite complicated. You have time?”

“Always, for you. Tell me everything.”

Chiara noticed how the words flowed fluid, how the facts she was telling seemed even more complicated. She waited, when she ended her story:

“Chiara, are you sure of what you’re doing? Do you believe in Alessandro’s innocence?”

The blank question of her sister froze her. Did she? But, above all, she remained speechless in front of the next question:

“Chiara, you want to trust him. Why? You were always pragmatic, determined, and spotless; why didn’t you write a report? Why are you taking time? Think about it. Are you falling for him?”

Chiara stopped breathing:

“Mia, but… are you crazy?”

“I’m not. What about you?”

More doubts wrapped around her mind! Yet her sister’s questions were fair, they didn’t help:

“I am not!”

“Look, do you want me to check my database?”

Chiara bit her own lip:

“Mmh… I don’t know. It’s not a bad idea …” Her heart told her more and more that he couldn’t be guilty; her mind told her that too many clues were statically a proof; there were too many questions unanswered. However, he hid something. Damn. The suspect had crept even in his supervisors. She closed her eyes, breathing deeply. Enough, she had decided: she was going alone and checking the address where he had taken the case.

The messages icon flashed on the screen: a new e-mail. She sat, crossing her legs. As she saw the name of Alessandro, she felt her heart beat faster and she felt the warmth spread between her legs.

It was his personal file, complete. She sighed. She checked the data, drumming her fingers on the table. He had a brother, Tommaso; he was an architect with the hobby of photography. There were no shadows in his personal life, there were no foreign banks accounts, and there were no billionaire houses.

She answered to the phone. Marco said:

“It could be just an ideology, Chiara. Are you considering this?”

“Marco, what do you mean?”

“I mean that he could have embraced the ideology! Maybe, he wasn’t corrupt, he just passed the other side.”

Chiara breathed: she couldn’t believe it. It was a bit of jealousy that she felt in the voice of Marco?

“Marco… I don’t think so. And… what is this touch of malice that I hear in your voice?”

He sighed:

“Chiara, I feel you so strange!” It was possible. Everyone
