"Don't try and defend that animal," Gavin said. His voice was filled with pain and Smile knew that he was hurt. He thought his father did not love him but that was not actually the case. He was misunderstanding everything. Alberto had only been trying to protect him.

"Alberto always wanted the best for you," Smile shrugged. "I am not going to force you to believe that but if you were as smart as you claimed you were, you would have known that this is the truth. Do you really think you would have survived if he had put you through the way of the streets earlier in your life? Answer me, Gavin. Do you know how many of Alberto's boys have died in the last two years?"

"Then how come you are still alive?" Gavin asked, staring intently at Smile. "Answer that question yourself. How come you are not among the many dead huh? What is mysteriously keeping you alive? And the annoying doctor? How come he has not died yet? Why do the two of you still thrive?"
