Chapter 31: The Angel In Your Land

I used to think movie s*it could never happen to me.

That was till my parents died, Quentin became a con-man, and I rescued a giant from drowning. And now, I have the context of the situation. It's not a coincidence that the 'mafia' word has been thrown about so many times recently. I just didn't let myself understand what was going on.

Montgomery licks the sweat off his upper lip. This is the first time I'm seeing him this disconcerted since Jason beat him up at my bakery. He's jumpy and trembling, but his face is full of excitement.

"You're right. I should have come meet you in private, shouldn't I? I just didn't want to jump the gun. I had to make sure it was really you first."

It occurs to me that Montgomery may not sane. This has passed the point of just being a criminal to being pure unhinged bastard.
