Mafia Kings: Valentino: Chapter 42

Alessandra told me not to tell the driver I was going to the airport.

The driver might tell Niccolo, who would get suspicious.

So I had the car drop me off in my old neighborhood of Santa Maria Novella, near the train station. From there I took a train to the airport and bought a last-minute ticket on a flight to Catania, Sicily.

I stared out the window at the landscape below for the entire trip. My favorite part was seeing the big blue expanse of the Mediterranean, and then Sicily slowly getting closer like a 3-D map filled with mountains.

I freaked out a bit when we landed, but once it was over, I was sad that it had ended.
