Dante leaned over the table, his hands braced like a predator about to spring. “What kind of message? That they can reach us anywhere? That’s nothing new.” Luca hesitated, then slid a photograph across the table. Amara’s stomach clenched the moment she saw it. It was of a warehouse in Naples, reduced to smoldering ash.

"To the rest of the world, you no longer exist. Now, tell me where he went, or things get very, very dark."

​This was the Passetto di Borgo the elevated passage that had allowed Popes to flee from the Vatican to the safety of Castel Sant'Angelo during sieges. ​The air inside was cramped and suffocating.

I could hear the city of Rome through the small arrow slits the sirens, the shouting, the chaotic pulse of a world that had no idea its foundation was being rewritten.

She hummed a song, an ancient Asti lullaby for lulling children to sleep. Caesar listened quietly as she finished humming, then asked, "What do the lyrics mean?" Lola looked down and replied, "Sleep, my baby, don't be afraid, close your eyes. When the sun rises, we'll all be safe." The air in winter was thin as if the oxygen had been frozen. Caesar looked down at Lola; her hair was shining brilliantly in the sunlight, like flowing gold. Caesar smiled, saying, "You should know, you're not an Asti."

Domenico groaned, “Out of there safely, his men would surround the place. I say we kill all of them, anyone on sight.” Lucian loaded the final magazine and chambered a round, “Io dico che dobbiamo bruciare il posto fino alle fondamenta.” (I say we burn the place to the ground.)

Gloria hung up the call. Was that a prank message or something? I looked into the message again and walked out of the building as I did, 'The last of the Tree syndicate in Italy has a fully developed missile system somewhere around Pompei in the Metropolitan City of Naples. Location coordinates 40°45′0″N 14°29′10″E. Your residence will be launched with missile attacks remotely at exactly 1 am tomorrow' Gloria says Pompeii was a lost City and there's currently no existence except for guards who protect the place.

One of the woman said with a very thick italian accent. "Oh, Romeo and i already talked about it, although we haven't picked a date yet, but we will very soon, you all should be on the look out." I lied further. "You can go now girl. You look tired." Papi said, as pablo entered the living room with the boys. "So you ran awa... oh Buon pomeriggio a tutti" (Good afternoon everyone)

"Let’s start with some general knowledge questions. Who can tell me what the capital of Italy is?" Vince’s hand shot up quickly. “Rome,” he answered confidently. "That’s correct," Mrs. Harrison said, nodding. But before she could move on, Genesis raised his hand and added, “Rome is also known as ‘The Eternal City’ because of its long history and significance in ancient times.” Mrs. Harrison smiled.
