"That's hilarious," I said sarcastically.
I would never join the mafia. Even if I wasn't as against them anymore as I used to be, it didn't mean I was going to start holding hands with them and sing kumbaya around a bonfire. And, The Inferno don't even allow female members.
"I'm dead serious. All you need is a little push," Danté said, almost excitedly. "And some...training."
I shot him a look. "That 'training' you speak of sounds concerning. And I'm not joining the mafia, Danté. I'll take my father down some other way." I frowned at him. "And what ever happened to the part where you kill me?"
"I'll still kill you," Danté said. He leaned in, making me lean back. "And I'll do it now-- if you don't do as I say."
His expression wasn't as soft as earlier. Suddenly he was Danté again -- the Danté that I met that first night at Club Blue Flame.
I gulped.
"Y-you really want me to join The Inferno? But you guys don't even recruit women."
