Vento Aureo - Chapter 77 [516]
Summary
As the group approaches their destination, Bucciarati reads The Boss's orders one more time. Thinking back at all the members of La Squadra Esecuzioni they've killed, Bucciarati concludes that only one remains.
The group's goal, the San Giorgio Maggiore island, is in sight, upon reaching it, the group as a whole will obey the following instructions:
- One person will accompany Trish and enter an elevator leading to the top of the only basilisk of the island.
- That person won't carry any bladed weapon or gun, nor any communication device such as mobile phone.
- When the disk is extracted from the statue in which it was hidden, a transmitter will let The Boss know it and the group will have 15 minutes to bring Trish to the island.
- Every other remaining squad member will stay on the boat and not set foot on the island.
Giorno volunteers to accompany Trish to the basilisk, however, Abbacchio intervenes, saying that the lieutenant's duty is to finish the mission, which Bucciarati agrees to. Remembering his collaboration with Giorno, Bucciarati asks Giorno for his "lucky charm", a brooch which Giorno has given life to and which Bucciarati will try to plant on the Boss to track him afterwards.
In the elevator, Trish expresses her worries at meeting her estranged father which Bucciarati tries to reassure. Bucciarati sees that they've arrived at the top, and realizes that Trish had disappeared, with only her severed hand, which Bucciarati held, remaining. To his horror, Bucciarati understands that the Boss had Trish brought here so he could kill her himself.
