“Freedom!” I yelled out as I opened my arms and took in the smell of the fresh air. I was officially free, which meant I was officially working with the DEA to take down the Hernandez and officially a certified

Panther let out an annoyed huff and wrapped his suit jacket around my shoulder.

“It’s cold. Please watch yourself.”

“I am watching myself, and I look good, right, Laine?” I asked my lawyer. He patted me on my back with a forced smile on his face. “Panther is right, it’s a change of environment, and we don’t want you getting sick.

I rolled my eyes at their boring behavior and focused my attention on Stanfield, who had followed me outside. “I’m surprised you didn’t offer me your jacket,” I told him. “I thought you might because you followed me all the way up here-”

“To keep an eye on you,” Stanfield spoke while he lowered his head. I chuckled and gave Laine and Panther a look, which they had immediately understood. “I’ll see you later,” Laine spoke and took his exit.

Panther looked from me to Stanfield before he shot him a dismayed look. “I’ll be in the car, Marvin.”

I waited until Panther was out of sight, and so did Stanfield.

“Don’t worry, I’ll deliver the message, just like you’ve asked me to, Stanfield told me. “It’s your last request, so I’ll do you a favor.”

“Thanks.”

I was dying to ask that question all along and felt grateful he started the subject himself. Although I was happy to get out of this place, I had to admit it pained me to know that I wouldn’t be able to talk to Elena

anymore.

I reached for the letter I had written just several hours ago and scanned through it one last time. I was surprised by my words, but they were sincere.

Hi Lena,

Today I have some bittersweet news. It seems like luck was on my side because by the time you’ll be getting this. I’ll officially be a free man. That’s right. I’m out of prison.

I didn’t want to leave you hanging and thought you deserved a reply. Even though we’ve never met, I need you to know that you would indeed make a good friend.

These past few days, I just haven’t been able to get you out of my head, and I was even wondering if I was perhaps going crazy. Just like you, I have been waiting on your emails with a big smile on my face, and they have cheered up

my day. Even though I’ll be leaving today, I do not want this to end and would love to get to know you better.

I would like to offer you the opportunity to take a look at my ugliness in real life. I, of course, don’t want you to feel uncomfortable, so I’m not forcing you to do anything, but if you want to see me just as bad as I want to see you, I have one final request for you,

I’ll be at the Vermont Street Bridge this Saturday at 12 PM, and I’ll be waiting for you.

From.

Perhaps it sounded a bit desperate, and maybe I had developed a soft spot for Elena, but I didn’t want things to end like this. It felt good to have someone to talk to, and I did not want to lose that.

All I could hope for was for her to look past the fact that I was a monster and would be willing to do the same. “Here,” I spoke as I gave Stanfield the letter. “I need you to type every last word.”

Stanfield grabbed the letter from my hands. “Why don’t you just deliver her the letter? Wouldn’t that be easier?” He asked. “Isn’t that your style?”

It was something that had crossed my mind, but I wasn’t going to lose my pride, and besides that, I didn’t want to invade her privacy. If Elena were willing to show up, it would’ve been great, but if she didn’t wann to, then it would’ve been the end of everything, and I was also fine with that. “I’m trying to become a better person, Stanfield.”

Stanfield laughed at my joke and gave me a nod. The truth was that it was already too late for that. I was already too deep into the family business, and I somehow ended up working with the DEA.

“So I’ll get going then.” I smiled at Stanfield. As crazy as it felt, I had to admit that I was going to miss it. I got treated with respect and did not have to listen to Mario Castillo’s demands. Teasing Panther did not have the same effect as teasing Stanfield, so that was another thing I had to get used to.

“I don’t want to see you back here, Castillo,” Stanfield spoke, I stuck out my hand. “Marvin…please call me Marvin, and don’t forget to let those bullies walk all over you.”
