#Chapter29
‘‘Stay off the coke Gino. I hate when you get like this. Last time I almost killed you, don’t push me to do that again.’’ The air crackles and Gino slowly stands up, matching his height and build and just seems completely unfazed, pushing his brother in the shoulder and throwing me a dazzling smile. Just as though he hasn’t sent his brother to the edge of Nutjob so effortlessly.
‘‘I fucked his last possession … right over his bed. Woke up in intensive care three weeks later. Some fucking brother, huh?’’
He is a complete and utter headcase and Alexi looks fit to completely lose his shit. I blink nervously as I absorb what he just said, yet I stay completely still and calm as though I don’t care. Inside I am a trembling mess and I can barely breathe. I’m shivering but not from cold, although my body has shut down in fear and I do feel like I’m losing all ounces of body heat.
