The next day, on the early morning of a saturday, Leo decided to show up in front of the sibling's house. A Maria with only one eye with eyeliner and plain, black clothes welcomed him. Leo could also notice the slight texture of some sort of cream on the rest of her face.
"What are you doing at this hour?! I have work in half an hour!", was Maria's greeting at the front door.
"I know something that I think you should know too". Upon seeing her face shift to one of confusion, Leo proceeded. "Are you aware that Jerry will try to kill the arms dealer he owns money to?"
And with that, Maria's inmediate response was grabbing Leo from the arm and taking him inside. They walked to the kitchen, were several unwashed dishes on the counter and a lot of garbage that should be in the trash can could be seen. After they both entered, Maria closed the door.
"What the FUCK is he planning, again?", Maria said.
"Last night he offered me to join his little gang and help him ambush the arms dealer at the exchange. He didn't told you, right?"
"Of course he didn't. I would chain him or use some other extreme yet necessary means to make sure he won't get there. And he knows that"
"Well, I'm planning on going and helping him anyways, but it's more for your sake than me wanting to help him on his criminal activities. If you don't mind, of course"
Maria shrugged. "That's... Very nice of you. Yeah. Thank you"
Leo smiled on response. "No worries!". After a short, silent pause, his smile faded. "What are you going to do, knowing this?"
"Right now I have to head to work. But look, the exchange will be today at 6pm. My shift finishes at 5, so meet me here sometime around that hour. It'll take some time for me to get here, but I'll try to be on time. We can discuss what we're going to do then"
"Will you come to the fight?"
"You BET I will!". She opened the kitchen door. "I don't have the time for you to be here right now, so, if you excuse me..."
"Of course!"
Maria accompanied Leo to the front door.
"Oh, and Leo?", she said, right after he crossed it.
Without giving him the time to respond, she bounced and grabbed him on a tight hug. She didn't seem to notice Leo could barely breath under it, but he didn't stop her. Not that he could though...
"Thank you!", she said, with the sweetiest voice Leo has ever heard from her.
"It's... Ok!"
And with a smile and a fast kiss on the cheek, Maria clossed the door, again without giving Leo the time to respond.
He left, also smiling. And hugging himself to relieve some of the pain left from the hug. That too.
