“Fucking some random Irish lady since you wish to get your dick off is one factor, however in case you truly love her, that’s one other. Regardless of what you suppose, I’m not the most important piece of shit on the earth.”

“I do know that. Have you ever met Carlo?”

That will get fun. “Simply deal with it. I’ll belief you to inform Renzo when the time is correct. Which I believe is quickly, since he thinks you’re going to marry another person.”

“Yeah, that’s not taking place.”

“Clearly, however he must know why.”

“Nice. I’ll cope with it.”

“Nice. I’m glad we may hash this out like mature adults.”

“You’re all the time a fucking pleasure to cope with, Dante.”

I stroll off, irritated with myself for shedding my mood, however feeling a minimum of considerably optimistic for the primary time shortly. Each Stefania and Dante took the information fairly properly—which implies possibly my brothers will deal with it higher than I feel they are going to.

Chapter 26

Saul

I throw myself into work and keep away from the mansion for some time. Renzo retains bugging me concerning the marriage and I hold telling him it isn’t taking place—which solely makes him threaten me extra.

Sadly for him, I’ve an necessary job going and he can’t simply drag me into his workplace and hearth me. I’m his fucking brother and his underboss, whether or not he likes that or not.

“I swear to no matter fucking god watches over quick meals, if I’ve to eat one other rooster nugget once more, I’m going to throw myself off a bridge.” Carlo crumples a quick meals field and shoves it into the empty bag.

I make a face at him. “What’s with you and people issues anyway? Why not eat one thing else?”

He sighs and rubs his brow like he’s speaking to an fool. Which could be very annoying.

“Hen nuggets have been scientifically formulated to be excellent.”

“Come on. Fuck off.”

“I’m not kidding. You suppose these large quick meals chains don’t have like dozens of meals scientists engaged on this shit across the clock?” Carlo appears at me like I’m some naive little child. “Get your head out of your ass, bro.”

“Sure, it’s constant, however excellent? That’s fucking dumb.”

“No, it’s not. Give it some thought. Nuggets have that golden, crispy breading, and the within is like this white rooster slurry?—”

“Hen slurry?”

“Yeah, bro. You don’t suppose rooster protein is available in these shapes do you? You’ve seen a rooster, proper?”

“I’m going to fucking strangle you.” I squeeze my eyes shut. That is what occurs once I’m caught in a automotive for hours at a time with him. Carlo will get bored and begins speaking about essentially the most insane shit and I begin to think about very elaborate homicide eventualities. Like proper now: I may drag him out into the road and slam his head below the free manhole cowl sitting within the highway a number of ft away.

“Slurry, bro. It’s like rooster thigh, beaks, guts, no matter random chemical compounds, all blended up into the right slurry. They’ve it all the way down to a molecular science.”

“If it’s so fucking good, why are you sick of it?”

He stares at me like I’m not understanding him. “As a result of man was not meant to feast upon excellent eternally.”

I lean my head again, shut my eyes, and attempt to block him out.

We’ve been watching this boring resort for the previous couple of weeks. Daily I come out right here with Carlo and take a shift, looking at each automotive that drives up, peeping at them by means of binoculars, staking the place out. It’s obscenely boring, but it surely’s too necessary to belief it completely to the troopers. They take the evening shift—this place needs to be below surveillance day and evening, each single second of each single hour—and my cellphone’s all the time on and able to wake my ass up if Finn arrives once I’m not round. However in the course of the day, it’s me and my brother.

And he’s occurring about rooster nugget slurry and ambrosia, the nectar of the gods. He’s method off the deep finish now.
