Walking into Levi's office, he sat at his desk as he spoke on the phone. He beckoned me over with two fingers as he continued speaking in Italian. I padded my way over to him and straddled his lap as I wrapped my arms around his neck. He finished up the call, and I felt content as he pulled me closer to him in the hug. He seemed tired, and I could tell he wanted to say something to me.
" I'm sorry, Tesoro.. " He whispered, and I shook my head as I ran my fingers through his hair. " It's okay.. I'll be okay, " I replied, a bit unsure myself, and I thought for a moment before speaking.
" Can.. can you tell me about Antonio.. your father? " I asked, and he sighed heavily before speaking.

He didn't enjoy the fact that I knew how to get shit done better than he ever could.. My mother is blinded by the man he is; although he is abusive, she still loves him dearly. I knew someone I was close to had to be giving him some kind of close information, and I thought I'd found him a while ago, but it turns out John wasn't the saint we thought he was.. "

" Not a goddamn thing. Do you want to know why, my sweet Tesoro? " He asked, and I nodded slowly as I played with the collar of his shirt.
" Because I will always be there to protect you. If not me, then the idiots in the other room, who would literally take a bullet for you in a heartbeat. Nothing will happen to you, and nothing will happen to the cat, either. " He replied, and I nodded.
" What's going to happen to Mr. John? " I asked, and he pushed a piece of my hair behind my ear.
" If I tell you, would you try to run again? " He asked, and I gulped softly..
