- LUCIANO -
"So are you going to sleep on this deck tonight or am I?" I ask Dex after Raya goes to check on Rory inside.
He gives me a wry look and then groans. "Nothing is going to happen, Luci."
"I know that's the life that you're used to living, cuzzo. But it's not mine."
"It has to be exhausting to think someone is going to jump out of the bushes at any given moment."
He has no idea.
"That's why you trusted me to watch over your girl while you were out of town, right? I anticipate the ones who come jumping out of bushes."
He nods and stares off into the jungle. "Are you ever able to relax, Luci?"
"Was Kenneth Rider the stalker you had me watching out for?" I ask instead of responding to his question.
"No, he had been caught by then. But only by a few days. I guess I was paranoid after that." His jaw grinds. "Sorry I misled you."
