Race gulped. "What do you think he was doing there?"
Pep bit her lip. "I don't know, but I really do not think it's a good thing," she said worriedly.
Race sighed. "let's get in da LH quickly. Should we tell Ani??" He asked.
Pep nodded. "I think we should. Maybe she'll have more of a clue about it than us," she said.
Race opened the door and ushered her in. He sighed and looked up as they saw Ani coming down the stairs.
"Hey Ani....." Pep started. "Uh..." she said as she looked at Race. "We could we all talk or somethin?" she asked.
Ani looked over at them. "Yeah shoah, what about?" She asked
"Well, me and Race were gonna try ta find Sorrow, and so we figured we'd check Oscar's place," she started. "Den when we neared da place, I saw dat guy. Da guy dat got Sorrow in jail."
Ani's eyes widened. "What was he doing?" She asked, emotionless.
Race sighed. Just standing around talking to some people I guess.' he said. Pep nodded nervously.
"I know it's been awhile but I never could get his face out of me head," she added.
Ani sighed. "Yeah I don't think you would." She clenched her teeth. "Dat Bastard!" She shouted. "Okay I don't want you two leaving da LH ya hear me?? Klutzy! Ditzy!"
"What? What's goin on?" Pep asked her.
Ani sighed." He may have seen you, and if he did he still knows we're...still around for sure." She said.
"Well who is dis guy? Why did he want ta get you guys in da refuge anyways?" she asked.
Ani closed her eyes. "Do the names Giovanni Rostero or Blade ring any bells?" She asked not wanting to talk about her brother. She closed her eyes. she didn't want to bring up her brother but had no choice. "He murdered Mountie!"
Pep's eyes widened. "He murdered Mountie?" she asked shakily. She had always heard that Mountie had been murdered but Ani never talked about it much.
Ani nodded. "He just murdered him in cold blood!" She shouted.
"B-but...why?" she asked. She had never known Mountie. She had come about four months after he had died, when Ani was fourteen and had just become the leader recently.
Ani leaned against the railing and started to cry a rare thing for he. "He wouldn't cooperate...no we wouldn't cooperate with him!"
Pep looked crushed seeing Ani cry. She put her arm around her. "What do ya mean ya wouldn't cooperate with him?" she asked, not knowing of their previous employment with him.
Ani gulped. "We used to work for him. Doing small things to make extra money.' she said in a hushed voice. "He wanted us to kill some children. Sorrow couldn't do it. she told him, that, him being Mountie, he couldn't force him self to even try to make her. I told him there was no way in hell I was gonna kill those kids cause they could be the children here next..."
Pep nodded, looking down. "And he just killed him like dat?" she asked quietly.
Ani closed here eyes. "Yep just like dat. Slit his throat, from ear to ear." She said.
Pep gasped. "I can't believe someone would do dat. I just - It's so hard ta believe some people are like dat," she said.
Ani looked up. "Well dat man is." She said matter of factly. "So you two stay in here. We're gonna check things out and see what's going on."
Pep shook her head. "I wanna come wit ya," she said stubbornly. "I'm no help stayin heah, and I wanna help. I can't just sit here and wait for somethin ta happen!"
Ani sighed. "Okay...but I ain't taken responsibility for ya!" She said.
Race stood there opened mouthed. "What?!"
Ani turned around. "Racetrack you stay here." She turned to Pep. "you comin?"
"I'm comin," Pep's heart had sank a bit when she heard the stuff before from Ani. She always thought she kind of had looked her out for. She shook it off, mentally kicking herself for thinking it. "Besides, I can take responsibility for myself. I aint eleven no more," she reminded her.
Pep bit her lip. "I don't know, but I really do not think it's a good thing," she said worriedly.
Race sighed. "let's get in da LH quickly. Should we tell Ani??" He asked.
