Chapter 117
Giorgio
Iwas getting close to the historic part of Florence when my cell phone rang.
My heart skipped a beat.
I hoped it was Emilia –
And feared it was Adriano –
But it was neither.
It was Niccolo.
Shit.
He’s probably calling to chew me out for not getting to Adriano quick enough.
“Yes?” I answered as calmly as I could.
“Where are you?” Niccolo asked in an angry voice.
I could hear muffled shouts behind him –
Then a deep BOOM in the distance.
…what the fuck?
“I’m about five minutes out from the Piazza della – ”
“Forget about that! Do you know where the hospital is, the one Dario and Alessandra went to?”
“Yes – ”
“Head there as fast as you can! You’re going to intercept Lars and Dario on the way. Dario turned on ‘Find My’ on his phone – you should be able to track him. Wherever their car goes, YOU FOLLOW THEM. Understood?”
I frowned in disbelief. “What about Adriano?”
“Adriano can handle himself! Now go help Dario – that’s an order!” Niccolo yelled and hung up.
I stared at the road ahead of me in disbelief –
Then took a sharp U-turn.
The cars I cut off laid on their horns, but I ignored them as I sped down the road and simultaneously searched my phone for the Find My app.
The consigliere himself had called me directly and ordered me to go protect the Don.
If I was supposed to do that instead of backing up Adriano during a mass shooting…
Something very, very bad was going on.
