The Mafia's Missing Triplets

Chapter Twenty-Five

Avery looked him over then shrugged coming to the same conclusion as me, "Okay Cesco." He really beamed at that and Sawyer and Cesco began playing. It only took Sawyer ten moves to win and Cesco pouted.

"You three cheat there is no way you don't know how to play."

Sawyer scrunched his brows in confusion, "We just pick up games fast. This one is all based on planning ahead."

Cesco rolled his eyes then said it was Avery's and my turn to play, Avery beat me after a long game with Cesco cheering for both of us the entire time. There was a knock on the library doors and Cesco jumped up to hide behind a bookshelf.

"I am not here okay?"

I shrugged and followed Avery and Sawyer to the door, Avery opened it to find Angelo. "Dad and Leonardo want to talk to you in dad's office. They asked me to find you."

"Okay," Avery shrugged and led us out of the library.

"Hold up, what were you guys doing?"

"Playing chess."

"You know how to play chess?"

"We didn't, we do now." Angelo gave Sawyer a strange look then moved on.

"By the way have you seen Cesco?"

"Yep?"

"You have?" Angelo seemed surprised by Avery's answer for whatever reason.

"Are you having trouble with your hearing?"

Angelo looked over to me, "No?"

"Okay," I knew he could hear us fine but it threw him off-topic.

"So you are going to have classes with me."

"No shit," Avery rolled her eyes at Angelo's attempt at an intimidating look.

He sighed and then looked the three of us over as we walked into the hall with Alessandro's office, "Everything Adriano has said he doesn't actually mean he just doesn't want to accept that he had younger siblings he couldn't protect. He's an ass but a protective ass."

Avery shrugged, "And you're telling us this because?"

"He's my twin. You three should understand that."

We all glanced at each other and nodded, we understood but also knew that we would never explain one another's actions to someone else. If we disagreed with something one of us did we would talk to them about it.

When we got to the office door Angelo cut Avery off from just barging in and raised his fist quickly and I flinched hard. He looked at me a mixture of confusion and alarm on his face, "Quinn? Did you think I was going to hit you?"

"She didn't you just scared her." I silently thanked Avery for stepping in.

"Quinn?"

"Yeah, you just surprised me."

He nodded and looked at the door and then back at me, "For the record, I would never hurt any of you so don't ever think that."

Avery faked confusion, "Okay," she then took that moment to walk into the office without knocking and Angelo sighed.

"Avery it is polite to knock before entering," Alessandro looked up at all of us but he didn't seem upset.

She shrugged, "Must've missed the memo."

This time there was a clear flash of amusement in his eyes and Leonardo watched the interaction intently. "Thank you, Angelo."

With one last look at everyone Angelo smiled and closed the door. Avery turned to look at Alessandro and Leonardo waiting for them to talk first. "As I am sure you three remember we want to talk about what happened last night."
