Chapter 15

• He heads straight out of the house. I follow behind even though he is walking much faster. I try to catch up. We meet with two security guards a good distance from the house. I have never walked to this side of the estate. Especially in the night. He asks for a gun from one of them and hands it to him without hesitation. I freeze in place knowing he is either going to shoot me or one of them. He just continues to walk with the guards. They enter through an open narrow hall with walls built with stones. I follow at a distance. Stairs are going down into an underground tunnel. By the time it gets to my head that this is the dungeon, it is too late to run back because the tunnel is dark. I just keep following behind, scared to the tip. What is here that Marcello has to see after drinking down half a bottle of wine?
• There is a half-dead man tied to a chair. One guy pours a hug of water on him and he jumps awake.
