He makes the mistake of coming closer and I lose it. I see red and the next thing I know my hand balls into a hard fist and I land a punch straight in his face.
Because of how he was crouching the impact of my punch knocks him over, but that’s the only triumph I have. My little punch does nothing to him but piss him off.
“You little bitch. I’ll punish you for that.”
While the guards grab me by both arms to restrain me, Peter jumps up and slaps me in my face. My head is already hurting so much that just added to my pain. The next slap he gives me, makes me vomit from the agony.
He’s about to slap me again when we hear a helicopter.
Instead of the rage that filled Peter’s face he smiles and looks toward the door.
“Daddy dearest is here Princess,” Peter declares.
I look to the door too and a minute later Dad come in ushered by Ricco, the man who killed Dante, and another guard who I know works for Cordelia.
His name is Benji. He does alternate shifts with Stephano on a biweekly basis.
That explains everything else that didn’t make sense and how Peter knew certain things.
Benji was there the first week I was with Georgiou and Henry. It would have been he who told Peter about the car that was coming to pick me up every night.
By the time it was his shift again I was staying over at Georgiou and Henry’s so he couldn’t see what was going on as much. The time after that would have been when Dad caught us at Cordelia’s.
He never saw Georgiou on the occasions where he would take me back to Cordelia’s during the day time because Benji worked the night shift.
I look at Dad and note the defeat rippling off him. It’s so vivid I can see it all over his body.
Ricco and Benji march Dad up to the table near Marcus and Dad cuts him a lethal glance.
“Fucking dog,” Dad says to Marcus.
“Sorry boss, I had more to gain from working sides.” Marcus smirks.
“You’ll get yours.”
“Oh Donny dearest, calm down now,” Peter taunts and Dad turns his attention to him.
“Calm down? It was you who arranged to kill my son. You, who I took such care of and gave a good life. Your aunts could have had you but I took you in.”
Peter shakes his head vigorously. “Don’t, don’t do that. Don’t make it look like you’re the hero because your precious daughter is here. I know the truth.”
“What truth?”
“It was your fault my parents died. Yours.” Peter pulls his gun and aims it at Dad.
I was told Peter’s parents died in a car accident.
How could that be Dad’s fault?
“Remember Joe, the butcher? The man who killed my father,” Peter spits.
“I tried my best to protect everybody from him,” Dad seethes.
“Not hard enough. The bullet that killed my father was meant for you. He took that bullet for you and that meant he couldn’t save my mother from being taken and sold to a monster who raped her over and over again, then burned her alive. See I found out the truth. Marcus was kind enough to enlighten me when the Triads approached me years ago with a deal I couldn’t refuse. Marcus gave me a reason to betray you. You made my parents deaths sound like it was an accident.”
Oh my God.I’m so shocked.
“Itwasan accident, Peter. A fucking accident.”
