For The Lady and The Miss
Reschiglian took Alessandro to another room for a talk.
"So, why do I have to do this?" asked Sandro
"You want to see Rossana again, don't you?"
"Huh? You know where she is?"
"She lives in a small village near Siena, I thought you would like to have a word with her"
"…When are we going?"
"As soon as you're all ready"
* * * * * *
"Hey Bici, guess what"
"..."
"We're going to a village. It'll be like when I was a little kid"
"…That's good"
"Are you ready?"
Beatrice grabbed her equipment.
"Yes. Are you?"
"I think so" Meri said not actually knowing for sure
"Go make sure"
"Yes, ma'am"
* * * * * * * * *
After what felt like hours to Meri, they drove into the village and found Rossana with her little girl.
"Reschiglian, what are you doing here?" asked Rossana
"You're in danger, Rossana" said Sandro
"Is that you Alessandro? My my, you look like you've matured"
After seeing the girl with Rossana, he asked,
"Is she your…daughter?"
"Yes, her name is Bianca"
"Is she…"
"Yes"
* * * * *
While Sandro and Rossana were talking, Meriwether, Beatrice, and Anita were hanging out Bianca.
"I wonder who that lady is?" said Anita
"Judging by the way Sandy's kinda fumbling around, I'm guessing they used to be together" said Meri
"Really? Well, she sure is beautiful. I wish I looked as pretty as her"
"I prefer cuteness over beauty. If I had to choose between you and her, I'd definitely pick you"
"Thanks, but...I want to hear Sandro tell me that"
"Hmm"
"No! What I meant was...uhh"
"Don't worry. I'm sure Sandy will get used to you soon. Isn't that right, Bianca?"
"PINO!" said Bianca
"Aww, She's so cuuute" said Meri
Beatrice didn't say much, but she did play with Bianca.
"Anita, look at them, how adorable" said Meri
"Hee hee, yeah, they are" said Anita
"Excuse me Anita, I've got some playing to do"
Meri happily sat down with the two little girls.
"Hi Bianca, I'm Meri. Can you say my name?"
"Me- Me- Me-Vi…"
"Almost" said Beatrice
"Come on, you can do it, Bianca. Just say Meri"
"Me- Me- Me-Ri"
"Yay! You did it!" said Meri
Bianca's proud joy made everyone happy, even Beatrice had a faint smile.
* * * * * * * * * *
"Do you remember Liberatore?" said Reschiglian
"What? What's wrong?" said Rossana
She got very worried; because Liberatore was the most dangerous man she ever spied on. She could clearly remember how scary he was and hard it was to gain his trust.
"He found out about you"
Rossana was speechless.
"We need to get you and your daughter out of here before he sends someone after you"
"Should I get ourselves some clothes first?"
"No, we have to leave right now. Alessandro, get your friends"
"Hey guys, it's time to go" said Sandro
"Aww, do we have to? It's nice out here" said Meri
"We have to leave right now, unless you want your new friend to die"
Meri got serious and went into the car with Beatrice and Bianca. The others got in right after them. They drove for a few minutes until they saw a suspicious car coming their way. The car stopped and a man came out of it. He then shot a Panzerfaust rocket towards Reschiglian's car. Anita took her gun out and shot the rocket to make it go off course. She shot at the enemy's car, but the bullets just bounced off. Sandro could tell that the car was owned by the govt., since its CFRP protection wasn't available to the public. Anita grabbed her slingshot and shot a metal ball to scramble his window. The enemy's car flipped, allowing everyone to escape.
"That was close" said Sandro
"Did I do good?" asked Anita
"Yeah, that was great"
Rossana, Bianca, and Meri were all still scared. Meri and Bianca were actually crying, but he stopped and tried to get her to stop too.
* * * * * * * * * *
The air was cold and the sky was grey when they arrived at the train station.
"This is goodbye for now" Meri said while trying not to cry
"Boygol" said Bianca
"Bici and I are really gonna miss you"
"…Yeah" said Beatrice
"Me-Ri, Bi-Ci"
gasp "Ahaha, she said both of our names" said Meri
"That's nice" said Beatrice
"Bianca, we'll definitely come visit you soon"
"Boygolll" Bianca sadly said
"Please, don't be sad. We'll see you again" Beatrice quietly said
* * * *
Anita kept her smile on, but was saddened by Sandro and Rossana talking to each other. She wanted to have Alessandro all to herself.
"Alessandro, I'm very thankful for what you did for us. We wouldn't even be alive if it wasn't for you" said Rossana
"Don't thank me, Reschiglian's the one that found out and brought us" said Sandro
"If you and Anita weren't there, we would have been killed"
"Just forget about it. Forget your past and focus on your future. You've got a happy life waiting for you and your little girl"
"Will you continue this way?"
"I can't stop that easily"
"Thank you, Alessandro"
Bianca stepped onto the train to Geneva with her mother and sat on their seats.
Meri shed some tears while waving his and Beatrice's arms. Rossana and Bianca both waved back from their side of the window.
