Mia "Her hand wasn't injured before she came downstairs... She was, however, severely bruised and battered... Those injuries seem to have gotten worse after she came downstairs." I was barely listening to Carmelo's explanation of the situation. I didn't need to remember the details or to hear his recap. However, I found it interesting how professional and solemn his voice was. He spoke with reverence as if he was a subordinate to Albert. I guessed after shooting his capo for offending Albert, he probably was. Albert said nothing just listening to what he was saying, but I could feel him growing more and more tense the longer Carmelo spoke. The fact that Carmelo had noticed me from the moment I had been drugged through their poverty the first time and was keeping track of me unnerved me
