“Always.”
“I like it too.”

We sleep, after washing off in the pathetic excuse for a shower. Gia’s naked in my arms, and when I wake up, I cautiously open the little bedroom door.
Dino left clothes for us outside.
I gather them quickly, then head back to where Gia’s sleeping. “Looks like Dino’s a little less useless than we thought.”
“Oh, I don’t know about that,” she murmurs as she looks at her pile of clothing.
I have to laugh.
Dino brought her the ugliest clothing imaginable. It’s a shapeless dress that might be made from some kind of wool or linen, but it looks like it was made by hand by someone who had never made cloth before in their life.
“It’s clean?” I say with a smirk.
Gia gets the awful sack of clothing over her head, then looks down. “Did he steal this from the eighteen hundreds?” she flops her hands down at her sides. “I look ridiculous.”
“Gia. You could wear a burlap sack and it would look sexy.”
“Well this is pretty darn close,” she rumbles.
My clothes are a little better. Uncomfortable pants that definitely do look like he stole them from some kind of historical reenactment, or maybe a theater.
“What the hell, Dino?” I sigh, looking down at my clothes.
Gia shakes her head. “Utterly ridiculous.”
She flounces to the little bathroom, and I sit on the bed. My mind is whirling with everything that’s going on.
It’s almost too much to process.
If what Dino said is true, then we do definitely need to leave. Interpol won’t like us sniffing around their witness. More than that, it’s clear to me that something else is going on with them.
Something that makes my heart clench with fear.
Plus, what I told Gia last night is still accurate. Marco’s location isn’t unknown anymore. He’s here. He’s going to be here. For the time being, Marco is safe.
At least we know that.
How Interpol is planning on keeping him safe from the underworld is… beyond me. Clearly, they have some kind of plan. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have put him here…
Unless it really is in the plan to just screw him over and let him die once the testimony is done.
I put my head in my hands. I have more immediate problems to deal with than worrying about whether or not Marco is being set up as Interpol’s straw man.
We need to get back. We need to figure out how to smooth things over with the Russians. We need to find a way to keep Interpol off our backs.
And why they would resort to something less than legal to kill us.
That’s the only thing that bothers me about the Interpol theory. Technically, they’re not allowed to assassinate people. That’s not to say that they do or don’t conduct questionably legal activities on a routine basis, but they’re not allowed to.
If they’re behind the bombing in Amsterdam… that would be new.
And definitely not a good thing.
