Rucco's Territy

Nina was sitting in the dark, cold night, hugging her small body to get any sense of warmth. After four years of being homeless, she thought she would get used to the cold life, but she never did. The rats still scared her, and her only solace of feeling safe was hiding near the bar. The bar gave her light during the night, and luckily, nobody ever bothered her.

She still struggled to find food, so day by day, she was getting weaker. Her fourteen-year-old self didn't know how she would make it another year alone and was constantly looking to see if there were dangers in the streets. One day, as she was sitting on the ground, trying to keep herself warm, she saw the Rucco mafia heading to the same street she was on. She made herself small, hid under the stairs to make herself invisible. She was no threat, but she was in their territory after all. If they didn't like her, they could beat her up, or worse, kill her.

As she silently observed the Rucco siblings, suddenly, Adrian Rucco, the notorious leader, shot the rival French mafia. Nina just witnessed murder for the first time. Scared and anxious, she screamed. The Ruccos caught her, and as they observed the small, fourteen-year-old girl that just witnessed their kill, they had to decide what to do with her. Nina thought they would kill her. She was collateral damage after all. As she waited for her ill destiny, to her shock, the Ruccos decided to kidnap her and make her their little sister.

How will Nina, an innocent homeless girl who knows nothing about family, survive with the notorious mafia?
