It can’t be –
It CAN’T –
Suddenly, my phone rang.
Adriano.
I answered immediately. “Yes?”
“Where are you?!”he shouted.“Fiesole?”
Shit.
I should’ve already been to Bianca’s parents’ place by now.
“No – I, uh, got delayed – ”
“GOOD.”
…good?
“The Camorra are shooting up the Piazza della Repubblica. I need you to – ”
“WHAT?!” I cried out in horror.
ThePiazza della Repubblicawas a heavily trafficked area in the old city.
There was a carousel there –
Families –
Children.
“The other guys are meeting me there in five!”Adriano barked.“How soon can you get there?”
I was on the other side of the city.
“Twenty minutes – maybe 25 – ”
“Get there as fast as you can, and wear your bulletproof vest!”Adriano shouted before he hung up.
As I started the engine, I thought about Emilia.
If you were afraid I wasn’t going to come home someday, Biondina –
Maybe you got out at exactly the right time.
