Chapter 97

laugh and walk to the visiting room where Rickon will be waiting. Many stare at Gerard, who walks tall. If only his posture was intimidating, he now looks worse, because he looks like a blessed avenger. Jack Goodman opens the door for Gerard and lets him in, Rickon standing there looking at the table with an annoyed expression. “Do you know that I hate being brought here as if I were his toy?” I already told you that I won’t say more…-he looks up defiantly, but it transforms to one of fear in less than a second when he sees Gerard standing in front of him, with her arms crossed on his chest and looking at him with annoyance- -Today I brought a friend, to see if you dare. “Well, no… it doesn’t provoke me at all,” he says hesitantly, but trying to sound defiant. There’s nothing you can do here… there are witnesses. -Come out, please – he tells the agents who are there guarding Rickon and they leave without further ado- Now there are no witnesses. -You remain, if he touches me in his presence, he will be an accomplice of torture…-but a blow on the table by Gerard makes him shut up and jump at the same time-. “Don’t test this man’s patience,” he tells her with a Goodman smile. Better answer my questions and go back to your cell to read. -I will not do it! They can’t touch me here!! Gerard, without taking his eyes off him, takes off his jacket and rolls up the sleeves of his shirt, then pulls out of his pockets a pair of gloves like the ones he wore last time and true terror is portrayed on Rickon’s face, who looks to the prosecutor. -I’ll stand up…-he tells her, leaving the chair empty-. And I’ll look the other way. -Nooo…! – the scream is silenced when Gerard approaches dangerously with his fist in his fist, but Rickon raises his handcuffed hands – Wait! I’ll tell him what he wants, really. -Well – says Goodman without turning around – Is Rafael Williams part of your father’s organization? -Yes – Gerard just looks at him with the clear intention of killing him, but Rickon retracts -, only he doesn’t know it. -What does that mean? -I joined his company, as a waiter, and I was in charge of distributing… – Tell me something I don’t know, Bowman. Was Rafael Williams aware of your operations? And you better think about that answer. – No, he didn’t know anything. We only use it to facilitate distribution, but he didn’t know anything – he doesn’t stop looking at Gerard – The truth is that Rickon had a very bad time after his first encounter with Gerard, he never felt so much pain in his body and he doesn’t want to repeat it. Just thinking that this man will touch him again makes him sing like a bird. -So, Rafael Williams is part of your father’s organization? “No, that’s the dumbest man in the world, overconfident,” he laughs. He didn’t even realize that he had a mob insider… -Why didn’t you speak before? Do you have a personal problem with him? -Hahaha! Personal problem… – he says sarcastically and Goodman turns to see him with a frown, because that tone seems to him to be something more than personal -. You see… there is a nice story, but I will summarize it for you, that he took the girl I liked from me-Gerard tries to stay calm, but he is afraid where he is going to go- “I noticed a girl, because of her I was willing to leave the others alone, but she didn’t even look at me. Until I realized that she and Rafael had something, that’s why I got upset and drugged her… -Which of all? -Gerard asks him, clenching his fists because he suspects the answer – -Luz Méndez, coincidentally the only one I didn’t get to touch…-but before he finishes with his lament, Gerard hits him and makes him fall resoundingly off his feet. the chair – -You’re trash… how can you say that you were interested in that girl? You drugged her to rape her, you’re sick. -Tell me what you want – Rickon says with a mourn -. But it became clear to me that it wasn’t for me… but it wasn’t going to be for Rafael either. Goodman calls for the guards to pick Rickon up and take him away, Gerard stares at the prosecutor who smiles surprised. “Damn Finnick, that hook of yours is terrible, no wonder that boy trembled when he saw you,” he laughs as he pulls the phone out of his pocket. But I already have what he needed. -Rafael got tired of telling you that he had nothing to do with it – he tells her with annoyance and taking off his mask-. But now you have confirmation. -I’ll move everything now, so they can release it… “Isn’t Rickon’s lawyer supposed to be here?” -He didn’t want to, he says that his lawyer is a nuisance, he left a written document, the guards served as witnesses – he laughs- -Is that legal? – Gerard
