They walked through, room-by-room, clearing each.
Mia was sure the Monatto’s couldn’t have many men left.
Finally, they made it to the kitchen.
Mia looked around. The kitchen was quiet. Still.
But she had a feeling.
She pointed towards the big island bench, and Lorenzo nodded.
They split up, and walked around either side, guns trained on the ground below.
They found themselves with guns pointed at a big, burly Monatto.
Lorenzo scowled.“Leo.”
Leo scowled back.“Fuck you, Lorenzo.”
“Looks like you tried that,” Mia said.“How’s it working out for you?”
“Who’s this?” Leo said.“Another one of your sluts?”
Lorenzo hit him with the butt of his gun.
“Don’t talk about my future wife like that.”
Leo laughed at this.“Maybe I’ll take her from you, just like I took Natalie.”
Lorenzo’s face twisted in rage. He pulled the trigger and shot Leo in the head. He shot him over and over again.
Mia understood. She understood everything about him.
Finally, he was out of bullets.
He threw the gun down and spit on Leo’s very dead body.
“I knew it,” he said.“I knew he killed Natalie.”
There were tears in his eyes. Mia pulled him close.
“It’s over now,” she said.
Lorenzo pulled away and stared down at her.
“Is it?”
Mia nodded.
“You made a choice, didn’t you?” He said.
“Yes.”
“And you chose me. You chose the family, over the FBI.”
Mia nodded again.“I did.”
“Is it real?” He said.“Do you really love me?”
