Chapter 104
“What’s going on?” Aurelio demanded from where he stood beside me. Once the gunfire had started getting closer, he’d retreated inside the bell tower like a coward.
“Our friends have gathered at the courtyard, just as we expected,” Zollner said with a chuckle.
“Massimo?” Aurelio asked.
My heart skipped a beat when the bastard said his name.
“He’s there, but he still has that verdammt shield of his.”
“What about Adriano?”Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
“I believe the other brother is… yes, he poked his head out for a peek, now he’s gone again. I believe he is going to make a run for it.” Zollner chuckled. “Seven for seven, coming up.”
“What about Lars?”
“The Swede? Haven’t seen him.”
“He’s supposedly good with a rifle.”
Zollner snorted. “If he thinks he can make the shot, he’s welcome to try.”
My mind raced frantically.
If somebody was going to run out into the courtyard – Massimo or one of his brothers –
I had to distract Zollner.
So I screamed at the top of my lungs with my best ear-piercing, blood-curdling shriek.
