《Vento Aureo || Her Muse ||》|| 8 ||

Number 5 was right after all, their capo is able to beat both stand users by himself. Latte wonders how strong Bruno really is. As Latte is able to rest for a moment, her eyes lands on Trish who refuse to look at anyone nor speak up at the moment. Then, she moves to Bruno who sat in silence in his seat. Anyone could see the tension in the air. Something happened between Trish and Bruno while Latte was recovering with Mista. She wants to know but it is not in her place.
Latte turns away from the both of them to land her eyes on Mista who is standing on his seat. She move to approach the gunner who welcome her with a smile. It seems he is warming up to her since she stuck to his side to make sure he is still fine. "How's the stomach?" He asks. Latte waves her right hand side ways, a so-so motion. "Well, it must be better than earlier." Mista comments. Latte nods her head in response. She points to the side of her head, three times. He caught on to her gesture.
"I can't complain but I'm good enough to fight again." He chuckles then quiets down. His eyes connect with hers then looks up at the glass ceiling. She didn't see his cheeks turning pink as he spoke up. "Thanks for asking...and making sure I'm still alive back there." Latte smiles at the gunner. Their peaceful moment was interrupted by a cry. "Mista!" Number 5 calls out to him, "Tell number 2 and number 3 to share the hamburger with us!"
"Huh? What are you talking about? There is nothing to eat here right now..." A tap on his leg made him look down at Latte. She points upwards. Crumbs fell on Mista as they both saw the two bullets munching on a hamburger. Mista quickly asks how they got a hamburger here. The voice from outside answer his question - asking where his food is. Eyes widen to see their new transportation, a truck driver picking up the turtle. Mista's expression darkens as sweat rolls down his face. Swinging his fist up, it connects with the truck driver knocking him out cold.

Mista realizes what he has done as the room sways and a loud bang follows suit. "What just happened?" Bruno stood up from his seat to look up at the ceiling. All eyes are on Mista, asking what happened as he is the look out. Latte let out a sigh as Mista tries to plays innocent. It looks like they have to find another form of transportation.
It is night time as the team found themselves in a parking lot in the middle of nowhere. The only ones that remain inside the turtle is Bruno and Trish. Latte held the turtle in her hands while the others try to form a plan. Narancia's plan is to steal a car from the parking lot. Fugo shot down his idea quickly since it will attract attention to themselves. The others agree. Latte glances at Giorno at her right, simply listening to them. He looks at Latte then approach one of the cars. Summoning his stand, he punches all the cars and trucks in the parking lot.
The vehicles broke apart to form a large group of frogs. "If it isn't just a single car that disappeared, if they're all found in pieces at different locations. The search for the missing cars will be much harder." Giorno explains. Mista and Narancia are impressed by Giorno's action. Latte approaches Giorno then Leone glances at both of them. Leone swipe the turtle from Latte's hand to hand it to Giorno. "Giorno, you tell Bucciarati." He orders the newest recruit since Latte is mute.
"We are getting a car." Leone declares. The mute woman turns her head to the left when hearing Mista call out to her. She was dragged away by Narancia from Giorno by the left sleeve of her coat. Mista lockpick the car to open and start working on hotwiring the car. After a minute of working, Fugo asks if Mista is done. Mista replies that this work takes time. Narancia looks behind him to Giorno's direction. Latte blinks at Giorno waving to them. "I'm pretty sure Bucciarati is telling us to hurry up and get the car started." Narancia guesses.

"I just told you not to rush me!" Mista hisses. Latte smiles at the interaction between them. She looks down at Narancia who tap his left elbow to his side. "Hey, Latte. Do you know how to hotwire? Mista is taking forever." He lightly jokes around. She forms a tiny space between her index and thumb, telling them that she knows a bit. "Woah, really?!" Leone let out a sigh, "Anything that made this job faster, I don't care."
"Hey! I'm doing the best I can!" Mista grumbles then he felt someone next to his side. His head turns to took in the sight of the mute girl who gave him a smile. Warmth forms at his cheeks. In the midst of his shock, Latte put the top half of her body inside the car. Her back press against his stomach as her arms barely touch his upper legs. She took the wires from Mista's hands to begin working. She barely felt Mista shaking in his seat from the close contact with Latte. He has his hands up to avoid touching her.
His ears caught the sound of quiet laughter. Mista glares at Narancia who is holding back his laugh. There is a hint of amusement in Fugo's eyes. Who would have thought that Mista would be this nervous around someone like her? After a couple of minutes, they heard the car's engine come into life. Pulling herself out of the car, Latte gave the gunner a thumbs up. "Nice job, Latte!" Narancia praises her in which she shakes her head.
"Mista did most of the work." She signs to them in which Fugo translates. Giorno comes back to them with the turtle. He told that the enemy has attack them but he is able to deal the threat himself.
Mista, Fugo, and Giorno get in the car as the rest return to the turtle. Another order is given to Bruno. He told Leone to use his stand at the chair next to the wall. Summoning Moody Blues, Leone rewind time to 15 hours. The stand transforms to Latte's capo in which Latte froze in her tracks. "Hey, it's that geezer." Narancia comments. Bruno reminds him that it is Pericolo.
Latte remains still as she listens to Bruno and Leone's conversation. Pericolo was the one who place the turtle at the train station. He even enter the turtle. Leone plays Moody Blues. "Bucciarati and team, I will give you your final order." the stand said. "The reason we're using this method to give you information is to prevent leaks. I'm about to tell you something of utmost importance that no one else must learn. How you are going to hand Trish to the Boss." He gives them instructions once they enter Venice. They have to look for an item which hidden at a lion statue.
"They've already found out about me. The most important thing is to deliver Trish safely to her father." Then, he pulls out a pistol from his jacket. "We mustn't leave any kind of evidence." He said then praises the boss for giving him a blessed life.
"My mission is over..." His voice grows soft, "I pray from the bottom of my heart that you stay safe." His lips form a smile as he mouths Latte's name. No words were told to Latte but she knows how he felt about her - a reliable comrade.
Everyone watch blood flew out as Pericolo took his own life before their very eyes. Even if it a recording from Moody Blues, it felt real. Everyone look on with shock and silence. The deathly silence broke by a slam on the wall. All eyes turns to Latte slamming her right fist against the wall behind her. Her eyes cover by her bangs, covering her emotions swimming in her eyes.
"Latte-" Bruno stops when Fugo appears in their space. "Everything is fine out there." Fugo told them. Latte walks away from her spot with her head lowered. "Oi." Leone calls out to her but his word falls on deaf ears. Picking up the parasol from the table, she reach to the ceiling then she disappears from view - leaving the team behind.

While others might try to raid the Orc Lord with as many people as possible, why not challenge him to an arm-wrestling tournament? The power of friendship will surely be on his side.
