Mickey's Delayed Date

Black and Deep Desires

Why'd you go after Mr. Nero?

Who put you up to it?

How'd you know it was Corteo?

He leaked Nero's schedule to Fango,

then came back to the Island yesterday.

Then this man came to throw himself at our mercy,

with the info about Corteo.

The higher-ups want to work with you guys.

With Fango gone, we're done for.

Hey.

You came to us from Orco, right?

Yeah. I'm Carmelo.

Cut the half-assed crap. Move!

Why'd you go after Nero?

What were you and Fango planning?

Was anyone else in on it?

Say something!

We don't have a choice.

Corteo needs to die.

Nero, got a moment?

Sure.

I've called the Fango family executives to meet with us tomorrow morning.

We'll talk with them then.

Got it.

And about Corteo...

Could you leave us alone?

The Fango, you know?

I still can't believe it...

Hey, Avilio.

This is hard for you, too, right?

You've known Corteo a long time...

Has he said anything yet?

Not a word.

Guess it'll take more time.

But at the rate he's going, Mr. Ganzo might just kill him.

He's got a real temper when it comes to Nero.

He might get carried away and—

Sorry.

Not at all.

Avilio, it's me.

I see. So he did get caught, huh?

There's nothin' I can do, is there?

I... He...

What happened?

Why did Corteo kill Fango?

Fango betrayed Corteo.

Once he got the recipe from Scusa,

he said he didn't need him anymore.

Never in a million years would I have seen this comin'...

He's hated the mafia since he was a kid.

That's irony for you. No kidding.

Why'd he want to kill Nero so bad, he'd team up with Fango?

You're the one who dragged me into this!

H-Hey!

Hey! Someone get in here!

Damn it. That little brat...

In back! He escaped out the window!

Uncle!

Corteo escaped!

Head him off!

Hey! You okay?

Ouch...

What happened?

What's the meaning of this?

That's what I want to know.

This idiot just charged in out of nowhere and whipped out a gun.

He got away?

I had a bad feeling about that guy from the start.

You trash!

Don't let him escape.

Right.

We've locked down all roads leading out of the city.

Nero.

About Avilio...

He and Corteo have known each other a long time.

And he's covered for Corteo before.

I can't help but think—

That's because they're old friends from childhood.

Barbero, you've got a bad habit of being too suspicious.

First, we find Corteo.

Everything else comes after that.

I see... If you find him, let me know.

Right.

Corteo?

I'm sorry.

They're going to kill me.

If you don't kill Nero...

Where are you now?

Tomorrow...

I'll call you again at this time.

If Nero's not dead by then, they'll kill me.

Who's with you?

The one who sent you that letter is—

I think it was...

Lagusa. Something like that.

You weren't alone, right?

There were four of us, including me.

There was one more...

Whoops.

Hey.

You're taking it easy.

I'm not an idiot like Fango.

Any trace of Corteo?
