The Thief Lord

In front of the Basilica, Prosper scolds Bo, who looks at the carrier pigeon in the basket. Scipio tries to hurry everyone back to the Stella to open the Conte’s envelope. As they walk, Prosper tells Scipio he thinks Bo was talking with the detective, and Bo confirms it when he names Victor. Prosper grabs Bo and pulls him into an alley. Scipio chases them and pulls them into a souvenir shop. Scipio asks Bo what he told Victor. Bo only remembers telling Victor his name. To avoid leading Victor to the hideout, Scipio gives his jacket to Prosper, pulls his own hair from his ponytail, and takes Mosca’s cap to disguise himself. He tells Prosper and Bo to stay in the shop and sends Mosca to the Stella with the envelope and pigeon. Scipio takes Riccio and Hornet to look for Victor after Prosper describes him.

Victor watches the souvenir shop, wondering what the children are doing inside. Victor sees Riccio, Hornet, and Mosca leave separately and wonders why they’re splitting up, but he decides to stay with Prosper and Bo. Victor concludes that the children are going to their homes and that Bo’s movie theater story is a fantasy.
