Azalea Vasquez was born into a family where they must continue the mafia line, the second she could walk her parents started training her, harshly. Azalea was finally ready for the field when she was 16, her parents immediately started giving her jobs. When she was 17 her parents sent her on a mission to assassinate a guy going after her father.
Josh Rodriguez wasn't really forced into the mafia, his parents were in it but they never made him. He became his mafia leader when he was 16 after his father died. His father didn't just die though, somebody from the other side of the mafia killed him. Michael Vasquez. The closest thing his men found to him was his daughter, they found her lurking in their quarters. They beat her trying to get her to tell them where her father was, she wouldn't tell a soul. The guards finally let Josh in to assassinate her after she had been beat out of talking, as he raised the gun he looked into her eyes and realized she was just a child, he was nineteen and she looked around seventeen. He dropped the gun, stared at her bruises and injuries for a few moments before rushing over to his childhood enemy. He knew he would see her again, just not like this. They would always compete in mafia training since they would train together as all kids would until they joined their parents mafia.
"It's okay Az, it's okay. You just need some rest." Josh lifts her up, she lays limp in his arms, he immediately rushed her to his driver. "Help! Somebody!" He screams.
