Loose Ends
V A L E R I U S ' P O V :
"Get me out of this goddamn bed." Enzo growls from his hospital suite.
"Sit—"
Papà is cutoff by Enzo. "I'm not fucking dying! Why is this— urg!" He rips out his IV before anyone can stop him. My eyes roll at his dramatics. "Who took me to the fucking hospital?" He spits out, clearly annoyed.
Pink hues light the room as the sun begins to rise. As if the day hasn't dragged on already, a new one is starting.
"You bled a lot." Fabio chimes in with a shrug.
"Don't—"
Enzo physically shows signs that he's about to faint but papà catches him in time. Our papà sits him down gently. I don't know why he never listens.
"— get up." Papà finishes with a huff once Enzo is grumpily seated again. "You boys are going to kill me one day!" He grumbles in Italian, shaking his head lowly.
"I don't need a hospital!" Enzo snaps again like he didn't just almost faint.
He continues to complain but as he does, I get up and place a half-asleep Ellie into him. Now, he can't move. Ellie mumbles for a moment before settling into a comfortable spot on Enzo's chest.
Enzo gives me a deadly look. As I sit back down, Savino and Mar laugh a little.
"Fuck you!" Enzo spits but he holds Ellie softly, in a way so she doesn't fall from his chest.
"Did you see who shot you?" Papà asks.
"No. I think it was a sniper, I didn't feel anything off. They had to have been far away."
"I think it was." Fabio contributes.
He was with Enzo when it happened. Luckily, Fabio followed Enzo after he had an outburst, knowing Enzo was bound to do something stupid out of rage. He too is upset about our failed attempts to capture Ivan. We've sent teams, we've pulled triggers and still nothing has happened.
It seems the Bravta has completely gone underground. They somehow have managed to disappear. No one has heard a single word since the night of the Ball.
"What we're you guys talking about when it happened?" Savino asks.
Fabio and Enzo share a knowing look. Enzo nods to our little brother.
"We.. don't think Ivan is working alone."
There was a pause in the room. My eyes catch Savino's. Do they have theories too?
"Oh what the fuck!" Mar throws his hands up in the air dramatically.
"What!?" Fabio argues back with a sharp glare.
"That was Savino's idea!" He shouts back.
Papà shushes them and points to my sleeping Ellie but there is no avail.
