You stood next to Narancia as he sat on the porch of the vineyard house. He was covered in cuts and bruises from his run in with a stand user while shopping. Guido had gone into the rental van not long ago to check the laptop for messages, leaving the rest of the team standing around getting antsy.

"Bucciarati, I'm starting to get a bad feeling about this hideout... We gotta get out of this grape vineyard! We don't have a minute to lose." Abbachio suddenly spoke up.

"But... How are we supposed to relocate?" Bucciarati asks. "If we believe the guy that attacked Narancia... then his entire team is made up of trained assassins! And they found Narancia's rental car in mere moments. Leaving through a dock, train station, or airport is out of the question! Even going on the highway would be risking discovery!" His face darkens as he continues to speak. "And the danger only gets worse if we're taking the daughter with us!"

"I don't think we have any time for discussion. We have to move right away!" Fugo adds. "Even after all the precautions I took, they still found us very quickly. And Narancia set fire to all those cars. In short, he's sent up a smoke signal to them! They'll be coming to comb through the area... and once that happens, I think our chances of escaping undetected will drop even further." Fugo's words make Narancia start to panic, he holds his head in his hands as you pat the top of his head in an attempt to comfort him.

"I think Narancia did a fine job at neutralizing the enemy. Given the situation, he did nothing wrong." Giorno chimes. "And... now the enemy knows that Bucciarati's the one keeping the boss's daughter in hiding. The boss is bound to direct us on where to go. I believe we should stay here and wait for further contact."

"Nobody asked for your opinion, Giorno! Know your place!" Abbachio huffs before pulling him by the chin. "And how do you know the boss's gonna call us right away, huh? It might take days, or even weeks! Don't be so stupid!" You start to walk over to the two, not wanting Abbachio to escalate even further when your attention was grabbed by Guido slamming open the back door of the van and shouting.

"Bucciarati! It's the boss... he's got a message for you!" Abbachio glares at Giorno before turning towards the van. Everyone gathered around the laptop that was sitting on one of the seats where a message had popped up. Bucciarati reads the message and looks back at the group, prompting Guido to explain. "This is how the boss delivers messages to his officers! This keeps anyone from tracing the sender. This is Bucciarati's first message!" The tall, black haired man walked over to the laptop and started typing. Everyone watched in anticipation as another message popped up.

Go to the ruins of Pompeii.

A key has been left in the Dog Mosaic there.

Find it. That is the key to a ride that can safely bring my daughter to me.

"Pompeii! We need to investigate the Dog Mosaic there!" Everyone quickly searched the van for anything that would have information on the Dog Mosaic. Guido held a book with a photo of said artwork while Fugo looked at the paper map of Italy they had. Soon another message appeared.

Once you get on that ride, you will be able to move without fear of being detected by traitors pursuing you.

I would like to deliver the key to you, but it would be dangerous to do so being very far away from the ride.

You will have to retrieve it yourself.

"A ride? A safe ride? What does that mean?" Abbachio asked.

"This is an email. We can't ask him any questions from here." Bucciarati replied.

Where should you take my daughter once you have the key? You will come to understand later. Stake your lives to obtain the key.
