''She won't have anyone to fall back on if I'm gone, Vito,'' Greg Armani said to his long-time friend and boss.
''Valentina?'' Vito lit the cigarette between his lips up while Greg nodded in response, ''Then make sure you're not gone.''
Greg rolled his eyes. ''You never know what's going to happen in this line of work.''
The notorious Grimaldi mafia had enemies lurking behind every corner. Ever since Vito took over the Don position from his older brother Damian the crime family made more enemies than friends.
''I never thought of you as the pessimistic type.''
Greg ignored his remark. ''Can you watch her when I can't?''
''I'm not going to babysit anyone, Greg,'' He took a drag from his cigarette and exhaled the white smoke through his mouth.
''I never said anything about babysitting her. I meant taking her in.''
''Why not ask someone else?''
''There isn't anyone else I trust her to.''
''Sure, she can live with me.'' Vito gave in knowing Greg wasn't going to budge.
''Promise?''
Vito looked in his friend's direction and said, ''You have my word.''
He doubted he would ever have to follow up on his promise.
