'Tranquil Beauty'
Divulged:
I didn't even have time to consider the ludicrousness of him calling Belle by that name because he had raised the gun in his hand and prepared to shoot her. Automatically, I tore my gun from the belt around my waist and shot Fiori in the chest, causing him to fall lifelessly to the ground.
The sound awakened sirens and after a while police officers and ambulance workers flooded the bridge. I went over to Belle who was sitting on the brick ledge of the bridge. Every time I saw her, the expression she wore on her face was apathetic.
"Sheena Yeloska?" I asked, the name foreign in my mouth. She knew what I was talking about and the first words she said broke out into a story of her life of espionage, fear and deceit.
Sheena was a spy for the Italian Intelligence Unit. She married Claudio Fiori who was part of the Mafia, so that she could warn the Intelligence of their plans and crimes. The victim of the murder the previous month was supposed to be Claudio but he eluded his death so the Mafia forced Sheena to kill her husband. She could not bear to do so because she had grown fond of him and together, they faked his death by disguising the body of an unimportant member of the Mafia.
In the past few weeks, Claudio had grown suspicious of Sheena and found out that she was from the Italian Intelligence Unit. He had arranged to meet her at the Café to question her but he never turned up. Sheena tried to delete the file on my computer because if I had found out about her relation with the Mafia, I would have gone to arrest her straight away, as I did. Doing so, the Italian Intelligence would reveal that she was a spy under cover and she would be released, enhancing the suspicion Claudio already had of her.
