Walking inside of Nicholson's house, Ricardo finds almost all of the men inside, he greets them before taking the seat.

"How's the leg?" Nicholson asks.

"Better, how are things at your part?" Ricardo asks.

"Good" he points before Nonna walks in with Tyson and Videl with some refreshments.

"Nonna" Ricardo smiles greeting the woman who smiles at him.

"You all make sure you eat even if the conversation is hot, don't let the food be cold" she points as she wishes them goodnight and leaves them all to have their discussion.

Videl grabs a glass and makes her way to sit beside Nicholson.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, Videl can you connect us to Rolfe and Arson?" Damien asks and the girl nods as she connects the two men.

"Can you hear us?" Videl asks the men.

"Yeah, is everyone in?" Arson asks.

"Rolfe and I, we are together" Arson replies.

"Did you get the location stat, Videl sent you all?" Senior Nicholas asks.

"Yes" Arson replies.

"Okay, send some men there, Arson" Sr. Nicholas orders.

"Within an hour, the men will be dispatched" Arson states.

"Rolfe, it's a surprise to us too that your daughter got involved" Damien speaks.

"As long as no harm comes their way, it is okay" Rolfe speaks.

"Richard is trained, he will not let any harm come her way" Richie assures.

"Naomi can take care of herself if need arises, until they are outnumbered, hope they are not" Rolfe sighs.

"The get together is more about the truth the kids need to know rather than damage control" Damien starts as he looks around the room specifically towards Ricardo, Nicholson and Tyson.

"Truth?" Nicholson frowns as he eyes his father who has his eyes set on the screen towards Arson and Rolfe rather than him.

"Is it time?" Arson asks and Sr. Nicholas nods his head.

"Okay" Arson nods before Nicholas eyes his son.

"Few decades ago, when not even you were born, we had set out a plan" Sr. Nicholas starts and both Nicholson as well as Ricardo moves to the edge of the chair.

"You all must know about how Arson and his brother as well as Rolfe and his wife, they all left our territory" Sr. Nicholas points out and pauses to check the boys in the room.

"Arson has always been the only trusted men in the family, he and Kyle both have been total stranger who are not a part of our family. When he married my sister, Nicole, we did not know we would be saying our goodbye to her as well, because she was to not be part of this plan...

You all must be aware of the long silent feud between our family and others, right now namely Lucero. But this feud is not just with them. Our family, as you all know we were not always on the right track, our hands are stained with blood...
