~ Sicily, undisclosed location ~
Bruno opened his eyes with difficulty.
His whole body aches like crazy. What is going on? Where is he?
His mind is hazy, and it took him some time for his sight to focus enough so that he can observe his surroundings and realize that he is in a familiar place. These bloodstained white walls, the table with knives, some of the blades are rusted… he is lying on the bed and without looking, he knows that there is a table with two chairs on the side. This is the room in the house at the back of Angelo's property which they use for interrogating people.
Bruno exhaled in relief. He is home, but why is he here?
Angelo is sitting on the chair with his hands resting on the table in front of him while looking at Bruno who is gradually coming out of the anesthesia-induced sleep. Angelo is here for more than half an hour, waiting for Bruno to wake up.
