Chapter 18. Saved!

QUILL
Looking at his wife, I was felt as if I was given back the breath that was taken away from me from the long time. I was saved! She was standing in a leather pants and fit clothes, as if she just came back from her mission of serial killing. And her hair in a long ponytail behind her. She was looking completely different then the times I have seen her as the Capo's wife. Her eyes was resting on her husband, and then went on me. She looked at me from up to down, when I tried to hide myself behind the chair, I had by my side. Anonymously the one I never noticed was here.
She walked inside in her leather hills and shut the door off, "Wow! So place like this exists? I guess the rumors weren't all lies?" She asked, locking the door while the Capo wasn't scared that he was caught like this. As she shut the door, she picked the spare dirt clouded shit on one of the table at the side and threw it on me. Taking steps closer inside. When she extended her hand towards the Capo, "Key to her cuff?" She asked, with eyes dead glaring at the man.
"Milly go away!"
Oh my! Look at the audacity of the man. He got caught like this and yet he is not scared. "When I said the key! I want the key! Not your crap." She boldy replied when I don't know about him, I fell for her. She is so strong and powerful and never scared of anything. "Get out and don't butt in Mileva!" The later part of his words went into yelling and I can see how much that furious Mileva.
"Never raise your voice at me!" She too yelled back. As she picked the chair from her right and broke it frustated on the table he threw me on. "When I agreed on you going around having whore! I meant the whores who are willing! Not because you are some pathethic man who is still hung up on a woman!" What-what does that means?
Woman he is hung up on? Who?
"Get out! Mileva!" His words were rather calm this time when he caught her arms, and stared in her eyes but she slapped him before his lips that were open could say something. "Never touch a woman without her permission again! Do you not remember my warning! I have told you! What happened with me! If ever will happen with someone else by you! I will kill you! I hope you still remember it?" They are very complicating! I don't understand half their conversations and remaining her confusing me more. She extended her hand ahead again," Now, key!"She again demanded him when he just ignored her and walked towards the door, opening and leaving without anywords! Or apology.
She then scoffed and looked at me,"Don't have wrong things in your head. I didn't wanted to save you. I just really like to dissappoint him. Snatch the thing away from him which he really wants in his life. Make me feel fulfilled and very happy! So I wasn't helping you," She said. And took my arms, staring at the cuffs.
"What about them now? Where is the key?" She thought to herself and poicke dthe knife down from the floor as he asked me to beep them on table. So she can cut them, "Keep your hands on the table, I'll cut them!" She asked her I blankly stared at her, "My hands!" I was to ask her but she just ignored me, "Keep it! The knife is really sharp it will gut them in one go!"
"I can't cut my hands off!" I told her, but she stares at me giving me the hint if how big of a idiot I am. The one cuff from my hand in already holding up on my wrist from the morning and now, I have another pair. At the time to wear bracelets I am wearing handcuffs. Seriously living up to my adventurous life! I wondered and kept the hand down, when she raised her hand in air and was about to hit it down.
"No!" I got really scared but she sighed! "What now?" she got really frustated when I sighed, "Please not my hand!" I asked her when she rolled her eyes and once again in the air and successfully it got down. Cutting the cuff from each other apart. My one hand had two cuffs and other one had single one. She laughed at my wrist as she turned towards the exit.
" Thank you!" I thanked her, but she didn't move or turn around. "Just hand it over and get yourself out of this place. You can't handle it with that softness." She said to me and then finally turned to see at my face. "It's not some magic la la land! This is mafia! If a man does wrong they are dealt with weapons but if a woman does wrong... They are dealt with dicks! You have already had taste many times. Don't be a fool if you can't handle it! Just leave!" Her words sounded as if she was concern about me.
Also the truth. She wasn't lying. From how much and what I know, her words were the cruel reality.
"But what if I deny to go away! And decide to stick around? Will you protect me? If I ask you?" I questioned her.
She is one of the most powerful ally I can get. But she stared to chuckled. And turned to see me, "You are suggesting me to take down my own organisation?" She raised her twitching brow, and was really astounded on my guts. "Well, I can see already that you are really not enjoying very much! Being here? And not to forget! You have the same thoughts as me for this place?" I tried to shoot the arrow in air once again and barely had a great luck this time too. She just rested her eyes blankly at me, as if she was trying to read me inside.
" You are mistaken! I might hate my husband! But I am so satisfied with the all the powers I behold as the capo femminile!" She turned and stated to walk out.
Shit! I lost to her! That can't happen right now i need to win at any cost!
Win her over if you want your safety Quill!
" capo femminile! "I asked her, when she halted and turned to see me once again."I have no clothes! Can I borrow some?" I requested her, while she watched me in the sheet. And still walked out. Not responding or replying. I sat back on the table,
Shit! How can I loose her! She is a perfect ally I can have to mark my safety here! What the fuck! I yelled and wrapped the sheet more nicely around me. I can't walk till the den dressed like this? Can I? Of course never! There are many man all the way down there and also the way. I can't go out like that!
I thought to myself on what to do after this? Or how to go out when I heard footsteps, by the door, I picked the wooden from the table and pushed it ahead as my shield when I saw Ava! She was standing with a bag in her hand. "Ms. Quill!" She called out and walked inside I too resting down a bit knowing that it was someone who won't harm me. She came twoards me and hugged me. "Don't worry! Ava! Nothing happened to me! Before anything could happen Mileva came and saved me!" I told her trying to reassure her.
"I know, she came towards me and asked me to take clothes for you." She informed me and astounding me.
Okay! That means I wasn't completely failed. She did had something in her for me! That can be marked as a step ahead right? I wondered to myself and laughed. But Ava watched me in disbelief,"Why are you laughing?" She asked me, when I sighed and shaked my head, and took the clothes form her hand and started to dress up all over again. I thanked her again and again. But she won't take any as she kept telling not to say or mention. Or that she didn't do a big thing.
She started to walk out with me when I saw someone running towards the spare house from the dark. Slowly Romeo being visible, his steps halted, when he saw me and he kept his hand on his waits. Crunching his eyes, as he too breath loudly. Looking back and forth me and the store room. He must be believing something happened? Didn't he? I wondered to myself, and took steps towards him. But he ran again and came to hug me. "Are you okay?" He asked me. His arms tightly wrapped around me as hsi beating heart was righting and was audible to my chest. His sweaty and alchoholic smell all over him. "That piece of shit! He did it on purpose!" He swore at him. But pulled me and looked in my eyes.
"Are you okay? I heard Capa came and saved you? That's a good news!" He siad and sighed again, when I nodded him back trying to resure him when he too repeatedly nodded. "That's good then!" He said, and started to help me taking me arm to walk. But I got it out from his hands because I felt uncomfortable about it. I wasn't really in a mood of a man's touch around me right now.
He understood the hint and didn't tried to touch me again,"He looked at Ava and then back somewhere else. " She is Ava, a friend I got here. "I told him when he nodded and looked at the ground. I can feel his uneasiness around, same goes with Ava.
What's going on here? Is there something that I am not getting?
"How do you know her?" I asked him directly instead of getting confirmation if he does or not at all. "Who?" He acted unaware, when I pointed towards Ava, "Her!" He asked me to walk, trying to ignore or dodge my question but Ava spoke it out instead. "He is the soldier who brought me to this hell!" For the first time she was bold from what I look. And he coughed. Looking the otherway walking little ahead, when we passed the back! And came at the front yard. The long one from where we will walk so reach the warehouse and door to dungeon. It was so long even though. I can see the warehouse as small as my fingernail from here.
"Don't make it sound like I forcefully throwed you here! You lost all the money at the casino with the big debt. It might be deniable and I probably can fool you in believing that I am a nice guy. But no one is! Everyone here have done something unforgivable. "His words were twisted, confusing and explaining at the same time, who was he saying this?
We kept walking in the Silence but stopped and exhaled getting really frustrated. " Just hand it over Quill! Let's get you out of here safely? "He requested me and sighed.
" No! I won't! I won't go away from here till I bring that fucking Capo down who killed my brother! "I said to him but he sighed.
" Stop acting like a fool! "He again said but I shaked my head," Look! My brother's death is not a playgame! He just went and killed a man who had his trust on him?! " I couldn't believe in my ears. I thought he was his friend how can he be so cruel?
"But it was your brother first who broke the trust! He deserved to be dead! He was a fucking traitor!"
