Ticket to Verona

"Aria, baby, please, let me explain." I pleaded for the 100th time. She's locked herself in her old room for two hours now and she's refused to see anyone. Including me. So instead I'm sitting outside of her door until I see her pretty face.

"Aria, I'm sorry I said what I said, it was a joke! We're not actually in the mafia!" Enzo walked up the stairs, followed by the others. Killian again hit the back of his head, we've all been doing that quite a bit. I punched him too.

Twice. 

eh. he deserved it.

"baby, come on, open the door." I begged, my patience was starting to wear thin and the sound of Enzo complaining about his bleeding nose was weakening it by the second.

"Aria, open this door or I'm going to break it down." I demanded, she had to listen to me, right?

I again, received no answer.

Deciding to risk it, I broke into the room, but what I was met with was not what I was expecting. 

The room was empty, no one was here. My baby was gone. I looked around, her coat and shoes were gone and the window was open. She's so small, how the hell did she manage to climb down? 

"Fuck!" I yelled. I turned around to see the guys standing in the door, all with serious expressions on their faces. They knew not to mess with me right now. 

"Call all our men from LA here. NOW!" 

~~~
Within an hour, we had over 100 men and women in the mansion. They are all trained to be on standby if their Capo or any Capo Regimes call for them. I have at least one Capo Regime in charge of my men and women in every state. 

Sebastian and Bria, the Caporegimes that command my men in California walked up to me. Bria is my little sister, she's the same age as my love and Sebastian is her husband. They met whilst he was training in Italy and they fell in love, much to my displeasure. I believe that no one is good enough for my baby sister, but Sebastian has proven me wrong time and time again. Since Sebastian is from LA, after they got married they were assigned here so that they could help to strengthen our forces in America.

"Hey big bro, what did you need our help with?" she smiled, giving me a hug.

I hugged her back before replying "Multiple things, Bria, but the first assignment is the most important. I need your help to find someone." 

"YES! Who's skull do I need to break?" she grinned, Bria isn't as sadistic as me, but hey, she's part of the Mafia, what do you expect?

"Oh no, Bria, you do not wanna break her skull, he'll break your face." Enzo said, pointing at me. 

"Her?" My sister raised an inquisitive eyebrow.

I sighed. "Yes, Her. Her name is Aria, she's your new Donna, well, I was hoping she would be until Enzo freaked her out about the mafia and she jumped out of the window."

"Shit, Leonardo. What can we do to help?" 

"Everything. I want everyone searching everywhere for her. She couldn't have gone far, but I'm not underestimating her."

"Got it, we'll split people into groups of 3 or 4, they can each scan a 1-2 square mile block. We'll work outwards." Sebastian explained. He then turned around and with the help of Giovanni and Theodore, he divided people into groups and began to explain the plan.

"Bria?" I whispered. She turned to face me and her eyes softened. 

"Yes big bro?"

"What if she doesn't come back?"
