Cornelio, I never meant to disobey you.” I closed my eyes. For the first time in my life, regret filled me and a hard knot formed in my stomach. Telica’s in real trouble and it looks like I won’t be able to save her. Nobody tells Cornelio no. Picturing Telica in my mind, I awaited Cornelio’s decision.
Dying by a bullet is the best a man like me could hope for, and I don’t fear death.
Cornelio pushed me and put his gun away. “I told you, to leave Telica alone. That she was going to be the death of you.”
Taking a seat next to him, I attempted to calm myself. “I’m going to kill Willie.”
Cornelio ran his hand down his hair. “I still haven’t decided to let you live. Don’t push your luck.”
Clyde had taken off. I was elated to be in the air and on our way.
