Luscious Men: A break in the case

Despite the amounts of time my husband and I spend “alone” time together, well, alone, I’ve been keeping my ears and eyes open to everything I see and hear from the Italian team; or at least what’s left of it. I see Benny often to see how he is. The good news is that he’s healing faster than anyone his age should but is what matters the most; besides finding the people involved trying to kill the pope, I mean my great uncle in law.

One day, on the off chance she’d answer when I call, I decided to call my extremely distant cousin, Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor; you may know her as Her Royal Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. It, indeed, was my lucky day – she answered her phone.

“Thank you for taking my call, Lilibet! I appreciate you taking the time to talk with me. I’m concerned with Benny and the situation over here with the assassination attempt. He’s not saying anything to either myself or my husband, his great grand nephew or something like that. Anyways, I figured I’d give you a call to see what your insight would be. I know that you and Benny have become friends over the years; maybe he’s said something to you recently??”

“Maggie, dear! I’ve heard what’s been going on and have talked to Benny several times.  He sounds funny each time I call him; not ha ha funny but strange funny. I figure that you feel like he’s got his own hand in the whole attempt on his life; maybe that’s why it was only an “attempt”. I have the same feeling that he’s either involved or knows who did; knowing that the person could only harm him not kill him. I think it’s an inside person; I hate to say this but it could your cousin Il Camerlango.”

“You know what, Lilibet? I’ve already asked them both and they both said no. Giovanni doesn’t type as the sociopath type but then again he’s my cousin about one hundred times removed so I may be a bit partial so I could always ask someone else to profile him and see what they come up with. I’d love if it wasn’t Giovanni and of course hate it if it were him. I’ll get in motion. I’ll have others close to him profiled as well!”

I hang up with the queen and get started on my Italian team with their job assignments. I had a feeling that Lilibet MAY have a role in the assassination attempt since she was so eager to point fingers at my other cousin. Why would a cousin point out another cousin to a cousin? Something smells rotten in the state of Denmark….ok, Vatican City.
