Valerio and my father lied to me. Apparently, Valerio isn't actually part of the Mafia, which he deserved. You don't get into the Mob for being kind and honest, you get in for either knowing someone high up, or being someone high up. And guess what I am? Valeio's younger brother. That's it. Oh, and the guy that does most of the 'top' missions. Like Emma's one. But, that's not really important. The important thing is what this means.
It means that I'm the actual Don of the Italian Mafia.
Emma interrupts my thoughts by nagging me to tell her why I brought her away.
"Please Zozo. Just tell me why you wanted me to come here," she whines.
I sigh,
"We have found your mother."
She stares at me blankly for a few seconds. Then, she gasps.
"Already?!" She exclaims, throwing her hands up to cover her mouth.
"Yep, we are going to get her right now," I explain.
She silently cheers and I inwardly laugh.

As we get closer and closer to Emma's mum's hideout, I can see Emma gradually become more frantic and less excited. I attempt to calm her down, to no avail. She doesn't want to ambush her mother, obviously, but what she doesn't understand is that her mother initiated a war between the American Syndicate and the Italian Mafia.
The car comes to a stop in front of a cave. Emma scrunches up her nose.
"This is where my mother lives?" She asks.
I only nod my head in reply, getting out of the car and locking the doors. Emma trudges behind me as we walk over to the rock, trying to find another way in. When we reach the door, about to walk past it, it opens, to reveal Emma's mother.
