" Yeah." He paused as he heard shuffling from other side. 

" Where the hell are you? I told you I had to talk to you." Edna hissed out stuffing her feet in her fluffy slippers. 

" I am at home." Daniel whispered, walking in the empty hallway. 

" I am waiting in the living room come fast." Edna ordered, shutting the door of her room behind her, tugging her black cardigan. 

" I can't right now. Adriano and I have some work to do so…" he trailed off opening the door of Adriano's office whose blue eyes looked up briefly at him before they fell back on the papers in front of him.

The same pathway where she had taken a walk with Faustino Pietro, where he had been attacked too. However, Adriano had put an end to whoever that man was. So, that man was just a puppet to the real culprit. Was Faustino life was in danger since long time? Was that snake was still living with them?

Edna chewed out the words at the boy which was sitting on the stomach of the younger one, he stilled like a statue hearing her." Up!" Edna instructed in a harsh voice, when his blue eyes looked innocently at her. " Mama!" The boy whisphered softly reminding her of Adriano. He was just like his father. Ignoring her son, who was locking his fingers in front of him looking down at the ground like a culprit under his mother gaze, she crouched down in front of the younger one. " You okay, baby!" Edna asked her voice soft contrary to her previous harsh one. “Yes, aunt." The boy answered, his grey eyes looking at the worked up face of his aunt who was wiping the dirt from his chubby cheeks.

" What makes you think that I don't have a backup plan too, Donatello?" there was a mocking edge to Adriano's tone as cocked his head to the side. Donatello furrowed his brow as Adriano gripped his left wrist hard, before unstrapping his nonno's watch. Grey eyed man pressed his lips in thin line, his stone cold features turning into confused one. " You think, only you are the one that can play games." Adriano kicked his brow up as he pulled out a small microphone chip from inside the vintage watch. " Too bad! You hadn't played with me." Adriano murmured twirling the chip around his cylindrical finger, stuffing his nonno's watch in his pocket. &

Ma'am. We should leave. It's about time." Peter spoke from a few distance away from her making her jump in air, startled." God! Peter! Make some noise next time." She exclaimed putting a hand on her chest, calming her frenzy heartbeat." My apologies." Peter bowed his head before taking firm steps and opening the door of the passenger seat." Please."

Donatello put his elbow on his knees, stapling his fingers together, he rested his chin on it." How is your wound?"

Dobatello questioned, hands behind his back, fingers locked together." Si." Sienna gave a nod in his direction along with a warm smile.That smile, which was the only thing that kept his otherwise dead heart alive." Show her the room. She will be staying with us."
