"Johnny! Johnny Gambino! Wake up! Ian is gone!" That woke Gambino up with a start. "Ian!? Gone!? What happened!? Tell me now!" Gambino roared. He saw that it was Edmund. His anger dissolved. "Why is Ian gone?" He asked with a hint of rage in his voice. Edmund detected it. "There's no need to start blaming the servants. Apparently, Ian left of his own accord." "Well, I know that! He went to work in the shop." "He's gone. I just spoke with Rufus, who informed me. There is no evidence to suggest Zhivago had anything to do with it, either." Edmund was sincerely worried. Gambino could sense it. "Johnny, if Zhivago finds him, then Ian's as good as dead! Think of her, Johnny. And he's your son's brother, if that means anything to you.

Gambino said more softly. Edmund still wore a face of pity and anxiety as he left. Gambino went back to bed. In the morning, as he was pacing his mansion thinking about the situation, the doorbell rang. "It's open," Gambino growled. Striding through the door of the mansion, with stubbornness and guilt on his face, Gino Gambino, Gambino's son, entered. "I thought you'd gone to find your own home," Gambino said. "I'm sorry," Gino uttered. "I couldn't stay away any longer. I had to come home." Gino stood there, looking defeated. "Well, since the problem...was solved, it was okay for you to come back. And anyway, I was getting lonely." Still, the feelings on Gino's face remained, as if he had more secrets.
