Six-year old Giavanna runs her hands over the files in her father's office, looking at all of the files with a curious gaze.
She was taking a nap because she had fell asleep on the couch where her father brought her to her room. Since everyone else was awake they decided to play outside in the pool today.
Now Giavanna was here picking up a certain file titled ANTON MARTINEZ.
Looking through the contents of the file, Giavanna sees many "Deals" and "Gun Trafficking" trades. Giavanna raises her eyebrows at the mention of guns in the file.
Placing the file back in its original place, she moves onto another file titled OCEANUS DOUKAS.
Once again looking at what the file holds, she sees a failed partner deal. Something that reads, "Stolen Shipments". Not really understanding or interested in this file she places it back in its previous place.
She moves to pick up a file labeled VLADIMIR MIKAIL.
Before she is able to open the file, the door to the office is pushed open and in walks her father- Elio De'russo.
And he does not look happy.
~~~ About thirty minutes before: ~~~
Six-year old Diovanna plays happily with her brothers in the pool.
Splashing Sebastian in the face she goes to swim away but he grabs her and throws her over his shoulder bringing her out of the water.
"Bubby! Put me down!" She shrieks.
"No can do, you splashed me!" Seb exclaims a wide smile resting on his face.
Diovanna heaves out a sigh, "Ares! You're not doing anything, come help me." She pauses. "Please." She adds still hitting Sebastian on the back in attempt to get him to set her down.
"Sorry Buttercup. You're on your own." He smiles at her lovingly.
"What no! Ple-" Her sentence was cut off when Sebastian tossed her into the deep end of the pool.
All of the boys laughed at her expense, enjoying the laughs and giggles they shared. That was until Diovanna made no signs of movement in the water.
The boys quickly grew concerned when it had been about 50 seconds and she had yet to come up to the surface.
"Diovanna!" Elijah exclaimed swimming over to where Seb had tossed her in.
However, Diovanna had got her payback when she jumped out the water scaring all of the boys.
Diovanna laughs filled everyone's ears as the boys all breathed heavily from the recent scare.
