The Storm

Prologue

Struggle. Pain. Loss. People die all the time; why was this case different?

The Italian mafia have been the biggest gang for more than a hundred years. They've been producing and selling drugs for as long as they existed. On the opposite side there's the Irish mafia, which was first introduced in 1956. The numbers of the members were increasing rapidly but the Irish were still outnumbered by the Italian. Just like the Italian, the Irish mafia had a laboratory for the production of drugs, which they then sold around the world.

Declan O'Sullivan was the next heir to the Irish mafia while Marco Romano was the next heir to the Italian mafia. They were both very much determined by the thought of getting power but what they didn't know yet was that with power you have to make sacrifices. Blood is the most important thing for the mafia. They kill because of blood, they let people live because of blood. Each gang has its own rules, which all the members should obey. If not, they're dead. That's how these things work.

People die differently: some of natural causes, some of merciless murders. Marco Romano wasn't an exception. During one of the fights, an Irish shot Marco, which left the Italians devastated about the loss. Marco's family promised themselves to find Declan O'Sullivan and torture him slowly and painfully.

Declan's parents on the other side were desperately trying to maximize their numbers in order to win the war. Even one person could make a huge difference. Declan was training every day spending 10 hours in the gym and 10 hours spending time in the office where he cane up with new business ideas and tactics; he was training to shoot, to hit, to cause people pain - all of the members of the mafia families did. Declan knew that if he wouldn't kill them, they'd kill him. The thought of this kept him motivated to try harder, to train, to get all the skills he needs but even if he was exhausted and was feeling like he was going to pass out, he'd gather his friends and family to discuss the tactics and the weaknesses of the opponent.

- They're coming for you and trust me, they won't even think before killing you, they're merciless and when they're sad, that's when they're at their worst, - was one of the things Alec O'Sullivan kept repeating to his son. 

- You're the future of our world. We can't lose you, not after we lost your brother, - was the other.

Everyone knew a huge storm of death was coming and the Irish were unable to prevent that.
