Xena stops and thinks for a few seconds, then replies,"It has never really been a dream, more of the thought of having the mentality and mindset of a Mafia. I have always found it intriguing to think about the mind of a Mafia. Many people might think it a strange lifestyle to live by killing people. But I think it's more than that. Its more like living knowing that you possess power, and you can easily take control.
