Laughable.

Caterina is capable and smart, but she’s hardly a spy.

Still, the move brought me my favorite sister-in-law, so I’m not complaining.

Marco, however, had clearly been unhappy about the situation. Back then, he’d looked gaunt, like he hadn’t slept in weeks.

This Marco looks well rested.

He’s handsome, of course, like they all are. However, his whole ‘older brother’ thing made him too similar to Elio to ever really be attractive to me.

But this Marco?

He’s glowing. I could see why the woman across the table from him is also somewhat resplendent… they both have a kind of aura around them. Two people, in love.

Maybe.

It could all just be an act.

Also, there’s no guarantee that the people in the video are alive after this. It could be that whoever sent the video also kidnapped them right after and they’re strung up in an Irish basement somewhere, bleeding out while Sal and I argue about how large he is.

Fuck.

“Gia?”

I glance at Sal. “Yeah?”

“What are we going to do about this?”

“What do you mean?”

“Marco’s alive,” he says quietly.

“Yeah. But he doesn’t seem to be in any kind of immediate danger.”

He shakes his head. “We don’t know that.”

Fuck. I should know better. Sal and I work so well as a team, it’s almost like we share one brain.

I should have known that he would be thinking the same thing I am.

“I know. But presumably, whoever sent us this video wants us to know that he’s well.”

“Who would send it?”

I shrug. “No fucking clue.”

“If it was the Russians and they wanted to make a statement because they think we killed their people…”

“Then we’d be dead. Russians don’t make subtle threats like that,” I sigh.

They’re much more shoot and ask questions later type of people.

“Not to mention, no one knows we're here.” I look at Sal meaningfully. “Unless someone knows about this place?”

“I’ve already told you, Gia. No one knows.”

“Then how did they know to send us the video here?”
