"Giovanni!!" Ayanna called.

Giovanni looked up from his work and frowned when he say his brothers.  He put down his tools and walked towards them as he took off his gloves.

"I assume you're not here to pay your older brother a nice visit," he said. 

"No/yes," Lorenzo and Luca said at the same time.  Silvio shook his head at the two brothers.  He's known their family for years, so it didn't surprise him that the two couldn't even agree on how to approach Giovanni.

"We need your help," Silvio announced.   Giovanni chuckled and placed his arm around his wife's waist before entering the house. 

"Why should I help you two?" He asked.

"Because we're brothers and we strand by one another?" Luca suggested.

"Oh right, we're blood. I must've forgotten," Giovanni said sarcastically.

"Very funny.  This is serious Giovanni," Lorenzo said as they all entered the kitchen. 

"So am I.  You all barely speak to me and now you ask for my help?" Giovanni asked. 

"Yes, we came here looking for you help," Luca answered. 

"Go look somewhere else.  I'm busy," he said as they all walked into the Kitchen and he moved away to wash his hands.  

"No you not," Ayanna said before she sipped her coffee.

He glared at her as he wiped his hand before sitting at the island

"Busy or not, I'm not helping you," Giovanni said. 

"It's Martina.  She's alive, but someone's threatening her life.  We need to get rid of them before they can," Lorenzo said. 

"That's not my problem," Giovanni said.
