Aiden's gun was already raised in case the man truly had turned,he couldn't take any chances and this gesture infuriated Kara "Are you crazy? Drop that gun,that's my dad you sick moron!!!!!" Aiden ignored her as he kept aiming,suddenly Marco grunted and staggered while turning slowly towards them "Tch" was all Aiden could murmur.

"Dummy it's still me,get that gun out of my face"

Aiden slowly lowered his gun and said "Why didn't you reply us the first hundred times we called you?"

"I spaced out,it happened a couple of times at the bar too when I went to get the case,also whenever I come to,sounds get sharper,so kindly do not shout" Aiden then noticed that the man's body was already grey,he didn't have much time from what he had seen,but this factor caused Aiden to ask himself new questions,like why did Jonas's daughter take much less time before turning? Well he just needed to carry out more observations on future infected people.

"You look terrible dad, let me get you something to drink" Kara said before rushing out.

Jonas walked towards  Marco and said "You were bitten" The man smiled lightly  "It seems so...." A cold gust of air swept into the living-room in that moment,trailing past them and easing the building tension "I don't have much time,I can feel it,you can't even imagine how weak I am right now,the only reason why I didn't end  it all when I went to get your case was because of my little girl" He then paused and sighed.

"You know....I have done some pretty horrible things in my life,I was born in Sicily,Italy" A lonesome smile appeared on his lips "At fifteen I joined the mafia and at seventeen I had already made my first kill,I was so used to violence,my father died while serving in the Italian army,he wasn't going to help much anyway since he knocked up my mother and then left and as you can imagine my mother was a whore....then ,violence,death and hatred were normal things" He then laughed slightly,it was such a weak laugh,Jonas wasn't comfortable close to the man obviously and Aiden noticed this,he probably thought Marco could die and turn at any moment from now.

"But then I met Maria.....Kara's mother,the first time I met her was at the city's centre...I stole her purse,I was so sure that it would be an easy thing to do....how wrong I was"  Marco then started coughing, causing Jonas to pratically leap backwards,not just because of fear or disgust,but because Marco was coughing blood.

"She chased me across town,I kept looking back,hoping that she would give up,but it got to a point that I saw it,I saw her unwavering determination,if she had to chase me through time she would have,it left me breathless,I didn't even know when I stopped running"he then started laughing again.

"When she caught up she simply asked for her purse back and a cold drink as compensation...who could have known that that cold drink would cause me to leave the mafia and run to the Netherlands with her" His smile slowly faded as he then looked at Aiden and Jonas

"please take care of my pumpkin" Aiden remained in silence for a while,he certainly didn't want to be in charge of that hot head,well he could always accept and then dump her some where after the old man's death if she proved herself to be a problem "I will do my best"

Jonas on the other hand scoffed "I have my own kid to worry about,I will do what I can for her, but if it comes down to me or her,I will obviously choose myself"

Marco was relieved anyway by their replies for some reason "Grazie {THANK YOU}"

"Anyway Jonas come we need to start preparing for the last part of our little plan" Aiden said while grabbing the briefcase and heading out,Jonas nodded"Coming,Marco stay strong"He then followed Aiden,as they headed out they ran into Kara who was leaning on the wall,had she heard everything? Aiden wondered

"Are you alright?" Jonas asked

She raised her head slowly and it was immediately obvious that she had heard almost everything,her eyes were red and teary and her cheeks were marked by dried tears,also, now that Aiden thought about it she had probably known since that morning,even just now when she went to get water she went outside the apartment to look for it and not to the kitchen,she wanted to eavesdrop and she knew her father wouldn't have spoken with her around...she was actually smarter than she looked, Aiden thought.

Aiden and Jonas spent the remaining time to find the spot from which sniping would be suitable,it turned out to be the room where Aiden had saved the young teen "Alright" he said while opening the briefcase "So  now that we have chosen the spot for the shooting,how do we choose the sprinter" Jonas asked "I would have said Kara since she knows the layout of the hotel, but.....as you know we can't,also the people downstairs can't be trusted yet,talk less of the people in the other houses,and finally...."  as he spoke he placed the silencer on his sniper "I'm the only one that can shoot without missing" Jonas raised an eyebrow and commented "So you now confess that you are a soldier?" Aiden didn't even look up as he inspected the gun "I am much worse"

Jonas scratched his head "So,why did you even have a sniper on you today"

"I was on my way to kill a politician immediately after my stop at the bar,but now that the world is going to shit it doesn't really matter anymore....does it?" It made Jonas's blood freeze,the way this man spoke about killing,crimes and death so easily and the worst part wasn't that he mentioned all these things,the worst part was that he actually seemed so indifferent about them,as if they were mere parts of a person's everyday life.

"So Jonas,it seems that you will be the sprinter" Aiden said

Jonas who was swimming in his thoughts nodded and started walking towards the door "I will go tell him" Aiden raised an eyebrow while Jonas took a few steps before stopping and realising what had actually been said "EEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHEHHH ME?"

Before their discussion could progress further a deafening buzzing of incoming helicopters interrupted them.

"We are saved Jonas yelled while heading to the balcony "It's probably the military!!!"

Aiden wasn't relieved one bit,on the contrary,he was incredibly tense "This is about to get bloody" He murmured.
