Chapter 97 Cristiano

• Everyone is worried. Ornella is sitting in one of the chairs wringing her hands, Marianna is next to her, looking down at her phone, and Giovanni is pacing back and forth in front of the waiting room. Paulo is seated in another corner, elbows on his knees while his head is bowed. Gianna and Simona are huddled together crying. Nev is also next to me, staring into space. Not forgetting Damiano, he's beside Marianna but I haven't seen them talking. There are nurses rushing back and forth.
• The first was carrying a bag of blood. The next had bottles of what I figured had to be medicine. The third left but hasn't come back. In short, it's chaos. I think I heard Giovanni swear he was going to gut the little bitch that shot Carina and Damiano told him if he tried to touch her he'd spend the rest of his life in prison. Not sure what that means though. Did I mention Ornella is holding a rosary? I bet she's praying for her daughter to come out alive. There was a lot of blood so I guess she's right to worry. I should also be worried because I know without a doubt that my child didn't survive that.
• Aurelia, as Damiano called her, shot Carina twice. One bullet went in her left thigh and the other in the stomach. I've gotta give it to that kid though. She's got guts walking in there and opening fire, knowing there was a chance her body would end up filled with bullets. How she bypassed security is beyond me. But then again, she did walk away unscathed. Well, not really. They locked her up in the basement because everyone was busy trying to save Carina. Point is, she didn't even get a scratch. On any other day, I'm sure I would have skinned her alive. I know the urge to do that will come later but not today.
