“Yes,” Kent says, his whole body going tense suddenly. “The shipment is arranged. I got word tonight that it should arrive in Sicily in two days‘ time.” 

“Ah!” Alessi says, laughing a little, apparently pleased. “This is wonderful, Kent. We will be…very pleased, to be able to bring this new business to Italy. It will be quite lucrative, for us to be able to get a foot in this different game.” 

“Yes,” Kent snaps, clearly eager for him to go. 

“Although, messy, yes?” Alessi continues, and I curse again. mentally when I hear his footsteps turn back towards us. “We will have to have some discussions about the fallout, and how you Americans handle this trade. In fact, it might be better if you were to send some men home with us so that they can teach us some methods for distribution and…well, clean up. From the inevitable cost to human life.” 

My eyes go wide as I listen to his words. What? What the hell were 

they getting into? 

“You’ll have them,” Kent says quickly, apparently willing to promise anything to get Alessi out of here. “I’ll arrange it tonight and dedicate the men this morning. All right?”

“Of course, of course!” Alessi says, and I hear his footsteps move leisurely towards the door. “You will let me know, eh?” 

Kent doesn’t say anything, but I presume he nods, because Alessi says his goodnights and then, apparently, passes through the door. When I hear the door creak closed and then click shut, I let out a huge sigh of relief, echoed by Kent’s own. 

He pushes back in his chair, making a little more space for me, but to my surprise he doesn’t get up. 

“You can come out now, Fay,” Kent murmurs, and I crawl out from beneath the desk, looking up at him from the floor on my hands and knees. 

“Are you all right?” I ask, a little breathless. “Did he did he know?” 

“I don’t know,” Kent replies, sighing. “I don’t think he did – but – then why did he speak in English the whole time…?” 

I awkwardly stand up, not knowing what to say, my mind whirring over everything that I heard. “Kent…” I say quietly as I lean down and grab my pants off the floor, leaning back against the desk as I start to pull them back on. The mood’s dead, anyway – I might as well be warm. “What was Alessi saying? About a deal?” 

Kent sighs again, harder this time, and pushes himself to his feet, pulling up his own pants and hastily buckling his belt. “Don’t worry about it, Fay.”

“What?” I ask, a little shocked. Honestly after everything we just said to each other about trusting each other – and how he doesn’t want me to just sit back and look pretty- 

“Seriously, Kent?” I ask, standing up straight and fastening the button at the top of my jeans. “You’re just…not going to tell. 

mc?” 

“You don’t need to know, Fay,” he growls, turning to glare at me. 

“It sounded serious!” 

“It is serious!” he counters, taking a step closer, trying to intimidate me into shutting up. 

I clench my jaw, glaring up at him, slowly shaking my head back and forth. “What’s going on, Kent?” I ask, crossing my arms over my chest. “Methods of distribution? The inevitable cost to human life? What the hell are you getting into?” 

Kent stands close to me now, glowering fiercely down into my eyes. But I don’t budge. 

“Is it heroin, Kent?” I ask quietly. “Are you trying to get in on Ivan’s game? Take it from him?” 

“Seriously?” Kent hisses. “This is about Ivan now? You’re worried I’m going to take his livelihood from him?” 

“No, Kent!” I almost shout, and he grabs my arm, glancing

towards the door and hissing at me to lower my voice. I do lower it, but I keep going. “No, this is about you being involved in a business that kills people!” 

Kent snaps his gaze back to me then and drops my arm, laughing a little as he takes a step back, giving me a nasty little smirk. “Fay…how, precisely, do you think I afforded all of this? The clothes you wear, the horse you ride? Your sister’s beach house? What do you think I do?”
