After settling in that kick-ass hotel, I returned to The Bowery by taking a cab. Alfonso should have some work for me and I had some questions to ask him. Questions I couldn't even think of an answer to. Before heading to The Bowery, I bought something. I bought myself a new hat.
The other one was left at Empire Bay. So anyway, I went up to where Alfonso was last time and saw him again. Didn't see Stella though. I went over to him and sat down.
"Hey Mr. Fratelli"
"Well hello Martin. Enjoying Devlin so far?"
"Yes sir. I just had some questions for you"
"Okay. Shoot"
"Well, I wanted to know why you find me so useful"
He smirked and dabbed his mouth with his napkin.
"Martin I was just like you at your age. Wanting to live like the gangsters, make myself be known, and make it big in life. I know what it's like. I find you useful because I see me in you. I see a real cat looking to make it big."
"Oh. Ok. I see now"
"See? Anything else?"
"How did you keep an eye on me at Empire Bay? And what exactly do you need me for?"
"I have a friend who lives there. He isn't close to you, but he's seen you before. And what I wanna do with you?"
He looked out the window.
"I wanna make myself known here Martin. Ya see, my father was a famous architect. He made a fortune. After he died, I inherited his money since I was the only child. With that money, I wanted to run for mayor. I wanted to rule this place and make it better, but there's several problems with that Martin."
"Whadaya mean sir?"
"Being mayor lasts for 4 years. You'd be lucky to get a second term. I need to make myself known forever. Plus, you can only have so much power as mayor. Not to mention, being a mayor means you're just another politician. When you're a big cat, that's when you have REAL power. Real effective power. And for all I care, any mayor can suck a cock"
I laughed. "You make some good points Mr. Fratelli"
"Well I'm starting The Fratelli Family and I'm gonna make you the Second in Command. You wanna know the biggest reason why I hired you Martin? I hired you because I wanna show the world that 2 cats from the very bottom of the litter can make it big. Real big."
"Wow. I can't thank you enough sir."
"Ready for your first assignment?"
"Yes Mr. Fratelli"
