The Dynamic Duo in Northern Italy

Prologue

"Lucius if you're hearing this it means that I'm leaving full leadership of the Terracciano family business and mob up to you". "Please keep my god daughter safe as long as you can and cherish your time with her because life has a funny way of messing things up". "I know... you're probably mad at me for leaving a recorded message on a disco but it was for the best that I did". "Your parents would be proud of you so much for the man that you have become today and I'm sure my sister in law your mother Athena would be giving you kisses all over your face and mad at you for giving her scares now and then". "But please I urge of you keep Ashley safe at all costs don't let Alessandro get to her". "If he does it'll be the end for all of us here in the Terracciano familia". I wish you luck my loving nephew you were always like a son to me and it hurts having to say goodbye like this". "Give Ashley a big hug for me and be strong for her, I love you both.... goodbye..... Luciano out".

Luciano finishes the recording putting it away behind the painting in his office with his stash of favorite guns he likes to use. A knock is heard from the door. "Who is it"? Luciano asked. "Uncle Luci can we come in"? Both 10 year old Ashley and Lucius ask. "Sure the door is open" they both come in rushing towards him with big hugs. "We missed you uncle Luciano" "how was the trip to the states for you two" Lucius lights up completely talking about the trip. "It was so much fun, we got to go hiking camping and fishing with our friends Abraham and Arthur" "that's good I'm glad you guys enjoyed it out there what about you Ashley" she hides her face shyly "it was fun I got to learn how to shoot a hunting rifle for the first time" "that's great I bet you guys are starving who wants to eat lasagna tonight" their eyes light up saying in unison "we do uncle Luci" they go to the kitchen and enjoy a meal like how they always do but soon that is all to change 10 years from now.
