Chapter 390: Unyielding
Grey got home early that day. He rounded everything off so he could attend to the letter from Italy.
Grey opened the door and hesitated. Charles was already inside, waiting for him.
"I quit work earlier for you. I couldn't wait to read the letter from Italy. I wonder where it came from," he smiled softly and raised the letter. It was already in his hand." I think you should freshen up. I will read this and get back to you."
Grey smirked. "Alright, give me some minutes," he said and walked to his room. Before he disappeared, he caught Charles opening the letter.
He walked inside the bathroom for a quick shower. He felt new after it. He got dressed in a trouser and a black t-shirt.
When he stepped out again, Charles was having a drink at the bar.
"So, what’s in it for me?" Grey walked to him and sat in front of him.
Charles nodded once. "I don’t understand it. I think you would if you read it," he placed the letter in front of him and continued to sip his wine.
Grey regarded Charles for a moment before he took the letter and perused it.
It read. ‘Come to Italy and save me’.
His forehead was gathered together after he was done. He didn’t understand the letter at first. Could someone need his help from Italy? And who could that be?
"I don’t even have an idea who it can be," Charles muttered. "Maybe you can talk to Alfred about it. He should definitely know about it."
Grey nodded once. "You are right," he pulled his phone out but hesitated. " But could it be James?" He placed a call to Alfred nonetheless. He picked it up after the second ring. "Hello, Alfred."
"How are you doing, Hercules?"
"Fine but I got a letter from Italy. Someone wants me to help out but he or she didn't make any indication of who it was. Do you have an idea?
Though, I’m thinking it could be James. I just don't know why he would need my help."
"I knew this was going to happen, Hercules and it's definitely James. I told you, remember? I told you earlier that James wouldn't be able to control the other mafia bosses in Italy. He's not strong enough, not like his father anyways," he revealed.
Grey released a sigh. "But he could have called and discussed it with me instead of sending me this letter. This is quite suspicious."
Alfred went quiet for a moment. "You are right. I will send someone to Italy to see what is really happening. I will get back to you concerning it," he promised.
Grey nodded once. "Alright. How is Beatrice by the way?"
"She has started to respond to treatment but she hasn’t yet woken up.”
Grey released a sigh. "Alright. Take care then." he dropped the call and looked at Charles. "Alfred thinks it's James but I still find it weird. So, he's going to check it out for me," he explained.
Charles nodded once. "Alright. So, are you going to join me tonight? We should drink."
Grey chuckled. "No problem actually."
