Chapter 6 The Details of the Job

"I nabbed his wallet so you can find our more about him" Hornet said when she saw Prosper as her, Abby, and Scipio walked into the auditorium of the Stella.

"What does the Conte want" Riccio asked as Abby and Scipio looked at the picture.

"Something wooden that is only of value to him." Abby replied while still trying to read the Conte's letter.

"A wooden wing, it looks like" Scipio added handing a picture of a wooden feathered wing to Hornet.

"Fifty thousand dollars for a wooden wing. We are missing something" Hornet added.

"This might make more sense." Scipio added reading the note from the Conte, "the pigeon is named Sophia, she is dependable. Once you have retrieved the item let her go and she will find me. You will receive further instructions at Barbarossa's the very next day. The wing is located in Casa Spavento to the best of my knowledge."

Mosca took the picture of the wing, "looks like an angel's wing"

Bo spoke up "no it's a lion's wing"

Hornet looked at Bo "Don't be silly Bo, Mosca is right it is an angel's wing."

"Riccio, Prosper, and Hornet will stake out the place" Scipio said running his fingers through his hair.

"Scipio can we help with the stealing too" Riccio looked hopeful at Scipio.

Scipio looked at Abby. Why not he said with his eyes. Because they will find out the truth she answered back staring at him. They continued to have a conversation without saying a word.

Bo and Prosper were trying to figure out what was going on. Riccio. Mosca and Hornet just stood there waiting for Scipio and Abby do be done talking with their eyes.

"They always do this from time to time. They talk to each other using their eyes. We haven't managed to figure out that they say. " Hornet whispered to Prosper

"Okay, we might need help from our trusted cohorts" Scipio said at last with a sly smile.

He put his hand on Riccio shoulder.

"We will be out of town for a few days, but we will meet you at Casa Spavento wednesday at ten o'clock in the morning." Abby said as she turned with Scipio to the their entrance of the Stella.
