"My brothers will always be with you, I don't want you to separate them because they are your escort," he declares pragmatically. The strongest escort will go with you to secure the perimeter, Francisco, Guillermo and Tamara will go to secure the school entrances and the other soldiers who will be a few kilometers away.
—You're not going?
I don't understand, but the impulse gets the best of me to ask him that kind of question when yesterday he had clearly refused to let me go and I only mentioned going with his brothers, he wasn't included. Likewise I remain neutral.
"No," he answers. I want you here on time, in the event of any sighting of Alessio I don't care if you are taking photos, signatures or friendships, you will return, understood?
He looks at us all, his brothers have no trouble nodding at all and I just give him a small smile before his brothers move to the door, leaving us alone for a few minutes.
—Uhm, I wanted to know if there would be a problem with David coming with me, maybe so you can meet him, since I'm going to live here and...
—Don't lie to me with your double intentions, Emily.
"I'm not, I'm just making a request." He narrows his eyes to analyze me. My best friend is good company, it wouldn't hurt me to be with him when he comes home from work, he can have an escort and...
" Emily, I authorize things in my own time, this is dangerous," she tells me. This is shit that I would recommend you not to involve more people in because it is a danger that you add to all of us, it would be best if you resign today.
-As?
He massages his temples, walks closer and I take two steps back.
—I have things to do, I have things to take care of so I can finish all this.
—I thought that was what you wanted, for me to be free.
"I'm not going to play with you all the damn time, Emily."
—Did you get bored so early?
He tenses his jaw and sees the part of hair from my ponytail that falls on my shoulder, along the entire length falls the piece of ribbon left over from my bun that I made to hide the garter.
—We're going to talk about all this when you get back, not now, and I kindly ask you to resign.
—Okay.
-You will do it?
-If nothing happens.
It's even idiotic because I keep thinking about my movements and I know that I will be able to get out of here to go back to the kindergarten children, for the moment nothing is changing my mind. I advance without further ado until he stops me by placing a hand on my shoulder, we remain parallel, he touches my hair and moves the ribbon away from it to try to untie it.
I move my hair away.
—Don't do it, it's part of my hairstyle.
—So what if I want it?
—Well, you can ask Ginevra for one, she gave it to me.
—What if I just want this one, Emily?
She tries to catch the ribbon in her fingers again until I'm out of her sight and Ginevra is waiting in her truck for me. I open the door and the escorts send the signal to start moving.
—Did he say something bad to you?
—No, he just wanted my ribbon, maybe you can give him one.
"He's never going to ask me," he huffs. Since our parents died he became serious, secretive and only protects us, but he is not interested in what we feel. He treats my brothers like employees, makes them fulfill their position and that's it. That's the shitty brotherhood we have.
