Chapter 45

• Luca met Emilio on his way out of the house. The doctor was just coming in from the side of the house while a couple of Luca's men escorted the priest to a waiting car to be taken back into the city. He would be returning again tomorrow and maybe even a few days after to perform more burial services, depending on how the final showdown with Ricky went. Luca was prepared for the worst possible outcome.
• Emilio came to a stop in front of Luca, nodding briefly.
• "You look like shit," he told Luca, his eyes taking in Luca's strained expression. Even though the man was too arrogant to admit it, it was clear that he was exhausted and why not? The last 24 hours had been spent in chaos plus the fact that he was injured and too stubborn to sleep. It was a surprise he could still stand on his feet.
