Gael didn't want to leave Angela by herself, but his father had summoned him. He ensured her safety before leaving, keeping one man on the floor while the others were scattered around the area.
Giovanni called him earlier about the meeting and also told him that Mariano was in town. The recent call was from one of their soldiers telling him that Mariano picked up Gabriella from a cafe, and the two were currently in a car driving around Brooklyn. This was the first time that Marino's son actively reached out to Gabriella. How fucking bold of him to take Gabby out for a ride?
Rick floored the gas pedal when Gael demanded him to hurry up. His boss was definitely not in a good mood, and he sure didn't want to be at the receiving end of his fury. Rick's body might be bigger than Gael's, but the latter's power didn't come from body size alone. In no way would he test his boss's patience.
