I passed busy nurses, injured patients, and worried visitors on my way out of the hospital. Of course, I got a few questioning looks as I walked out for I was in my original clothes, my white shirt was covered in dried blood. My zipper to my jacket was missing, so I had to put my bandaged hands into the pockets and manipulated it to cover up the stain.

I manage to find the exit of this big building. Stepping outside, it was dark. I would say it was roughly seven.

Feeling my jean's pockets as I walked down the street, my phone, wallet, and car keys were missing. Fuck me. I was not only stabbed by Stollo, but I was also mugged. I made my way to where I parked my car, passing the alleyway from before, to find it was still there. Stollo was smart not take my car, every car in the mafia had a tracker installed in case of emergencies.

I walked to the driver side and checked myself in the mirror. My face was covered in bruises, and my lips were swollen. Riccardo did land a couple of good punches.

Now I had to find myself a way to get back home. Remembering that I walked passed a pay phone earlier, I dug deeper into my pocket to find loose change. I decided it would be best to call my best friend, Aiden.

"Hello?" Aiden picked up.

"Send a car to West Clover street."

"Matteo? Is that you?" He asked.

"No, you dumb nut, it's Santa Claus."

"What crawled up your ass and died?" Aiden replied to my sarcasm.

"Aiden," I warned him.

"Fine, I'm sending a car. Do five minutes sounds okay?"

Just as Aiden promised, one of the cars kept at the mafia house drove up to me, a particular car that shouldn't be driven.

"Really, Leo? " I asked, hopping into the passenger seat of the TVR Sagaris. It was illegal to have a car like this in the U.S.

"I just had to test it out. " He shrugged. Leo was the Mafia's driver, having easy access to our garage.

"I rather you take it slow, I don't want to end up in the hospital for the second time," I said, knowing this bad boy could go 0 to 60 in 3.8 seconds with 380hp pushing it. The TVR Sagaris was built with no airbags or ABS, not the safest car to drive.

Leo and I arrived at the mafia house in one piece. It was located somewhat out of the city, placed in somewhere deserted. Only necessary, or upper class, members were allowed to stay at the houses. The mafia house runs like an illegal free five-star hotel, in some cases, it runs like home.

"Let's find my father and tell him about Stollo. " I told Leo, standing in front of the front door. I had already filled in Leo on the ride here. My hand was on the doorknob, when it suddenly swung open, causing me to jump back to avoid getting hit by the door, and a shoe hurdle past my face.

"I sent you to the store to get eggs, and you come back a decade later! Do you want me to die to waiting for you?" My grandma yelled, waving her left shoe in her hand. It wasn't long until she was whacking me all over the place.

"Nonnina," I whined, trying to protect my wound.

"You even came back empty handed! I ought to whip you!" My grandmother said as she pulled my hair, bending me to her short height and slapping me on the ass. I looked at Leo for help to find him, awkwardly, slipping through the door and into the house.

"You took nine hours, Matteo!" She yelled, pulling me by the ear. She dragged me through the living room, filled with members who stopped their conversation to look over. I recognized Aiden in the crowd, who took out his phone to snap a picture. I'm going to to have to make him delete that later.

My grandma forced me into the kitchen, where my father happened to be eating dinner.

"Here's your son, you should teach him the time and how to buy eggs." She, then, left me and went over to check whatever was in the oven.

"What happened to you?" My father asked me, pointing to the blood stain and my bandaged hands with his spoon.

Hearing the question, my nonnina walked over back to me and carefully examined me.

"Did you get into a fight with the chicken, stupido?"
