"So you're saying you've discovered a new member of the American Mafia?" Lorenzo's boss asked. "Yeah. It sounded like she was the best to become one of his member. Plus, I heard he's going on a secret mission soon." he also added. The Italian boss frowns thoughtfully. "So he found himself someone useful." he affirmed maliciously. "Yes?" Lorenzo asked. "Ah nothing. You did well. Find out more about the secret mission." he told him. "It will be done immediately." saluted Lorenzo. He shortly dismissed him. 

He went back to the park where he met Selina for the first time and sat down on the benches again. "I have a feeling I'll see her again today." he chirped, lighting a cigarette. He has been watching her for a few weeks and knows that she goes boxing every morning. He waited a few hours until he got up and went to her training. He opened the door and stalked into the building. 

There he saw her fighting against her trainer. "Yes, just like that, only this time with more power!" said her coach. You could see that she was already at the end of her strength. "And stop. I think that's enough for today." When the two separated, Selina wiped the Swiss from her forehead with a towel. Lorenzo was waiting for them at the entrance. When Selina changed clothes and saw him she wanted to go back to the ring. 

"What are you doing here?" she asked him annoyed. "It's nice to see you again too. Do you want a coffee?" he suddenly asked her. She just looked at him shockingly. "I don't want to drink with you coffee. Besides, I'm covered in sweat. Let me go home first!" The two stepped out of the building and walked through the park together.

"Is this an invitation? I didn't know we were so close in our relationship?" he flirts. She just rolled her eyes and continued walking. Lorenzo continued to follow her quietly. "Say, could you stop chasing me!" she suddenly turned around and snapped at him. He just innocently raised his hands up and said "You didn't answer my question. So I took it as a yes." Selina was really annoyed by him. "Ok, I'll now give you an answer to your question: No. Now get away from me!" She said and turned around to go into her house.

Lorenzo stood there with a smile on his face. "I see you tomorrow!" he shouted, strolling backwards. 

When he got back to headquarters his boss stopped him. "Come to my office." He said seriously and disappeared into his office. "Wow, what's going on with people today. Oh haha, Selina said the same thing!" he chirped and walked into his boss's office. 

"I have decided to convince the young woman in my mafia to join. And you should help me since you are in contact with her." he informed Lorenzo straight forward. "How long have you had this thought?" asked he. "I just thought I'd like to play a bit with the American Mafia boss. So give your best at it." he said and dismissed Lorenzo. 

"The little one has become very famous in the mafia world." laughed Lorenzo and went to his room.

The boss went down to the cells. There he saw the Phoenix sitting on a chair in front of the man. The man already looks pretty beaten up. Multiple wounds in different places. They were placed at spots where he feels very strong pain but does not die immediately. The boss likes the way how Phoenix tortures people. That's one of the reasons he has Phoenix in his mafia. 

"Well, has he spoken already?" asked the boss behind the bars. Phoenix tilted his head back and said, "Yes, he did. He actually said all the information yesterday." 

"Then why didn't you report anything yesterday?" the boss asked even though he could already guess his answer. "I got myself distracted by the torture and it was also a lot of fun." smiled Phoenix. "Clean yourself up and then come to my office!" the boss sighed and went back to his office. A few minutes later Phoenix came into his office. "Tell me." he commanded. 

"The man is a member of the Italian mafia. He has only been a member for a short time. He only joined because he was fined too much. He met the boss by chance in the casino." reports Phoenix. His boss took in all the information until he then spoke: "We'll have a secret mission soon. There we'll observe a drug trade from the Italian area. Depending on what my mood is, we'll attack them too." Phoenix nodded. "Besides, you'll have a new member soon!" he informed him. 

"Is it the young woman from the mission?" he asked surely. "Yes, but I gave her a deadline until next week. When she can think about joining here." he mentioned. Phoenix nodded and walked out of the office. 

On the way to his room he met Ace. "Hey Phillipe, how did the man's torture go?" asked he. Phillipe is Phoenix's real name. They all have a code name that they use during a mission. "It was very entertaining Max." he said bluntly. "Did he finally open his mouth and give any informations?" Max asked curiously. Phillipe nodded.

"Do you want to go to the bar with us?" Max asked him. "No thanks, I want to sleep. I was awake through two nights." He replied and went to his room where he immediately passed out in his bed. "If not then not." Max mumbled sadly and gathered the others to leave. He, Luis (Luigi from team two), Rosalin (Rosa), Natalie (Nova) and the twins Coby & Cody (Snipers) made their way to the bar. 

Again the captains of the respective teams, and Phillipe in his bed was knocked out, stayed in the headquarters and discussed individual matters in the meeting room. 

"We should act faster on the future missions we have!" insisted Blade. "We know that ourselves Bianca. I didn't like it very much that this woman knocked out this man!" Shadow said angrily. "Don't get so upset, Sebastian. That only happened once. Next time she won't be there!" Lee comforted Sebastian. However, at this point they didn't know that her boss had asked the young woman to become a member of the mafia.
