You and Oliver stay in distance to the door to jump at the opportunity to get inside just like last time. Carmella comes over and unlocks the door, she opens it wide, inadvertently giving you two enough time and space to sneak in without issues — and finally see what’s inside.
There’s a giant cage like the one for circus animals in the middle of this empty room, the place itself is filled with graffiti, the floor is recently patched but you can tell it was filled with holes. It’s like someone took a homeless man’s den and left it half repaired. Inside the cage is the man you’re looking for, Billy is once again trapped behind bars.
“You heard the noise outside and made some of your own, huh?” Carmella is pissed at Billy.
“I don’t know what that was, but it came from outside here, not from inside, baby.” Billy retorts, unfazed. “I’ve been good like a morning coffee.”
“Nah, you heard those fireworks, you heard those thugs. You wanted those idiots to save your ass, didn’t you?” Carmella shakes her head. “After all we have gone through this week, I was starting to trust you again. But the first chance you smelt with that crooked nose of yours, and you wanted out.”
“Please, Mella, I don’t wanna break your heart.” Billy is trying to be… flirty? “You know I’d never hurt you!”
“Don’t pull that crap with me.” Carmella doesn’t buy it. “Tell me how you opened the cage.”
“Diamond eyes, please, if I could do that, I would be dancing in the streets.” Billy says back.
“So you wanna leave...” Carmella shakes her head.
“T-That’s not what I meant, baby. The stars miss touching this face, it’s nothing personal.” The Motley Crew member says.
“Bah. Are you going to tell me the nice way? Or should I kick your ass again?” Carmella wants to know how Billy beat the door.
“Please, Diamond eyes, my ass is only meant to be admired.” Billy cowers inside the cage.
“Linda! Billy is not talking!” Carmella shouts back.
“A-And what do you want me to do?! It’s your man!” Linda doesn’t want to get near.
“I don’t know! Some help for once would be nice, you fat ass!” Carmella shouts back. “All these lazy cows are the same. All they do is complain and act miserable, then they blame me for their problems.”
“I swear on the moonlight that these bars haven’t failed you.” Billy trembles.
Carmella seems to start to believe Billy, but it doesn’t dawn on her the implications of said truth…
