#Chapter119
Alexi and Mico pass some sort of look at each other and Alexi turns and walks back into the other room, leaving me staring at my so-called friend and I wonder what the heck that was. Some silent ‘communicado’ between gangsters and Mico is taking over? It’s unusual for Alexi to step out of a discussion when he isn’t winning. Mico sighs and comes in to sit on the bed beside me without invitation, but it’s not like I can be bothered to refuse. I have barely enough in me to move from the bed anymore.
‘Take the offer.’ He looks me right in the eye with sincerity, a genuine pleading frown, and I start laughing at him.
‘I can’t believe you. Four months ago, you stood in that room and told me to cut ties with this life and get far away from it. That he would never be my hero and I should get far away from all of you.’ I remind him sternly.
‘I know, but things change.’ Mico looks from me to the open door, I guess to check if Alexi is hovering nearby.
