“Do you mind explaining?” I ask him.
He opens his mouth, shaking like a rat caught in a trap, and no cohesive words come out.
I turn to Donatello. “Do you care to explain?”
He sighs. “You’re not in the right frame of mind to see what he wanted to show you, and I told him to keep it from you for a bit.”
“For how long? Until the bitch—,” Bunny starts.
“Not a word from you,” Donatello shuts him up.
I turn to Dan.
“Show me.”
With shaky hands, he presses a few buttons, and a video plays. It’s Alyssa squeezed into a corner, speaking into a phone.
She looks around several times and talks to the phone. It goes in for a while, and when the call ends, she tucks the phone into her skirt.
“That’s enough,” I say.
Dan clicks the pause button, or at least tries to with shaking hands.
“How long did it take you to retrieve the video?”
“I—I didn’t have to si—r—sir—” Dan stutters.
“It was never deleted,” Donatello sighs.
“I see,” I respond.
I turn to Dan. “You’ve had a rough day. I’ll wire you two times your pay. Run along now.”
He doesn’t need to be told twice. He all but sprints out of the room, and I am left with Bunny and Donatello.
“I told you that bitch—”
“Language,” I hush Bunny.
He looks at me in disbelief. “She was talking to heaven knows who on a secret phone, and you’re more concerned about language?”
“She was speaking to Giovanni.”
They both look at me in shock.
“Wait, you knew about this all along?” Donatello asks.
She did a crappy job of hiding her phone and a crappier job of speaking on it quietly. I chuckle fondly as I recall noticing the phone poking out from between the mattress and box spring when we made love the first time.
“I cannot believe you let her stay even after you knew,” Bunny spits at me.
I shrug. “I didn’t have the heart to tell her that she was caught in the act. She seemed to enjoy her act of rebellion.”
“You see, just a second ago, I had Dan hide that video because I couldn’t stand breaking your heart if you found out the truth. Now I can’t figure out exactly who the bigger idiot is between us,” Donatello grimaces in irritation.
“Let’s just say I owe you one.”
“That’s if we live through Giovanni’s attack. Do you know how much information she has given him about us? You let her roam the house like a fucking pet,” Bunny snaps.
