"I thought they were dead! Ma will be happy to see them, boss. Can we visit them?" Peter asks. I know he was close to Luca in age, so perhaps they were close friends as well.
"We’ve only found Anastasia so far when fate had Gavriel and her met at Medusa's Lounge." My father smiles proudly and it has my chest puffing up.
Fuck yeah, she's my woman now.
Marco, the asshole, notices and opens his mouth to say something, but I smack him over the head. "Don't start,coglione. I saw you sneaking up to visit Carla last night, so don't act like I'm the only one."
Laughing and rubbing his head, he says, "What? That you have it bad for Sia or that you're stuck in your feelings for the Manhattan Singer?"
My father begins to cough, trying to cover up his chuckles no doubt, which makes Tommy and Peter laugh. Assholes, the lot of them. Fuck it. Marco wants to call me out, let's see how he reacts to my own jokes.
"Yeah, I am, you fucking jerk off," I say while he continues to laugh, "but at least I've got Sia stuck in her head about me too. I heard Carla talking highly about another guy earlier." She was, but it was about Joe being understanding of the situation and letting her and Sia have time off, but Marco doesn't know that.
His stupid chuckles are cut off immediately and his fists clench, showing everyone he's got it bad as well.
Smiling, I say, "Calmati, brother. I'm lying. Next time keep your jokes to yourself."
My father laughs loudly, wiping his eyes while Marco flips me off with a smile.
"Okay, enough, boys." The Boss is back to seriousness. "I say you two may visit, but she is Gavriel's woman now, so he will check with her and see what she wants first. Either way, I don't want your mother or anyone else to know. Understand?" he says strongly.
It's an order not a request.
We all agree and he continues, "Adriano doesn't know either and I'd like to keep it that way. He and Sia's father weren't close and I don't want him to speak out of his ass and upset her. Now tell me everything that happened last night with the two men who tried to harm Sia and Carla?"
Marco and I spend the next couple of hours rehashing the events leading up to the interrogation.
"I took the laptop to Nico this morning, but there weren't any personal items aside from clothes. I took everything, though," Tommy says.
"No one saw you? Cameras?" I ask, wanting to make sure there are no loose ends that need to be handled.
"All’s good. It was a run-down little motel that has questionable people in and out. I left cash on the bed nonetheless."
"Have Drake set up a meeting for me with the chief of police. I want all records of the Romano Slaying. I want all the witness statements, CSI findings, and all the evidence files brought to this meeting," my father says, pulling out his own black clove cigarette. "If Anastasia is ready to meet her family, we'll have dinner. Martina has been wanting you two over anyway. I've already put feelers out for Luca, but we don't know where he was taken or if he's alive. I have hope he is, but even so we must be ready for that news. Remember, tell no one of Sia's presence, yeah?"
"Yes, boss."
