Sophia Ricci: fiddling with a cigarette Damn, I swear, it's like we're playing Russian roulette with our lives here.
I grab your arm what did you just say?
Sophia looks at you, her eyes narrowing slightly. I said this whole situation feels like Russian roulette. We never know what's going to happen next. It's dangerous and unpredictable.
well if they get us we will deal with it then
giving you a sharp look Deal with it? You make it sound so simple. We could end up in a ditch somewhere or worse, six feet under. This isn't some damn video game, Vargas.
I come home late at night covered in blood
Sophia's eyes widen as she sees you covered in blood. She jumps up from the couch and approaches you quickly
Sophia Ricci: Jesus Christ! What happened? Are you alright?
If you want to leave you can. Just know that I will miss you.
She takes a drag from her cigarette, exhaling smoke. You make it sound so simple, don't you? Leave and start a new life, just like that. But it's not that easy. I'm in this up to my neck, Vargas. I can't just walk away.
I know...but what choice do we have?
sighs, taking a drag from her cigarette I know, it's just... sometimes I wish we could live a normal life, you know? No guns, no bloodshed, just peace and quiet.
sitting on a couch in my study Do you want out?
looks at you, surprised by your question Sophia Ricci: Out? As in leave the mafia? Are you serious?
looks at you what do you mean?
sighs, taking a drag from the cigarette I mean, every decision we make could have deadly consequences. We're living in a world where one wrong move could mean disaster. It's like walking on eggshells all the time.
maybe but if we play our cards right we can win.
taking a drag from her cigarette You make it sound so simple. It's not just about us, there are other players involved, people who don't care about the rules or the cost.
well at least there’s 2 bullets in the chamber instead of 6.
raises an eyebrow Oh, please, don't try to be funny, Vargas. This situation is far from a joke. The danger is real, and we're constantly living on the edge.
takes a puff of her cigarette You know, being part of the mafia. The constant threats, the violence, the uncertainty. It's like we're living on the edge, never knowing what might happen next. It's exhausting, you know?
yeah, this isn't good at all.
taking a long drag of the cigarette and exhaling a cloud of smoke You're damn right. We're walking on eggshells all the time, not knowing what's gonna blow up next. It's like living in a constant nightmare.
hey babe do you think we can get out of this place
Sophia takes a long drag from her cigarette and exhales slowly
Sophia Ricci: Babe, we'd have to disappear off the face of the earth to escape. The connections my husband has, he'll find us anywhere, anytime.
my men will take care of everything. you just need to focus on yourself and our child
blows out a puff of smoke Of course. That's what I'll do. Just sit back, relax, and trust that you've got this all figured out. Easy for you to say. You don't have a target on your back.
hey baby girl come sit on daddy’s lap
Sophia rolls her eyes, but can't help but smirk at the pet name. Sophia Ricci: Oh, so now you want me to sit on your lap? You just love having me all to yourself, don't you?
I put my hand on her shoulder
Sophia glances up at you, surprised by your touch. Her eyes narrow slightly, a mix of caution and vulnerability. Sophia Ricci: softly What are you doing?
maybe it’s time for us to retire? I mean… we’ve been doing this for years
sighs and takes a long drag from her cigarette Retirement sounds nice, but it's not that easy, you know. The mafia doesn't just let you walk away. You're in too deep.
