Chapter Seventeen: Start Of A War

"Gio, any news?"

It's been two weeks ever since Uncle Mario died and the investigation has been on going.

"Niente di nuovo capo, sto ancora indagando, ma credo di averti tracciato il loro nascondiglio" Gio explains

[Translation: Nothing yet boss, I'm still investigating but I think I've tracked down their hiding place]

"Dove si nascondono?"

[Translation: Where are they hiding?]

Gio pulls out a map and places it down on the table, spreading it out. A small block on the map was circled with a red marker.

"Nel settore industriale della città, dove la vecchia macchina di assemblaggio della fabbrica era" Gio points out.

[Translation: In the industry sector of town, where the old car assembling factory was]

"Andiamo a uccidere quelle bastard" he says

[Translation: Let's go kill those bastard's]

"Boss no, non possiamo. È troppo rischioso e oltre a spiegare al Consiglio perché non abbiamo dato il loro taglio"

[Translation: Boss No, we cannot. It's too risky and besides we must explain to the Council why we haven't given their cut]

Vincent kicks the nearest chair and screams, he was beyond frustrated, why couldn't he just kill them all and end he's suffering.

"Vincent, I'm sorry but violence is not the answer to this" Gio says.

Vincent leans against the wall, tired and defeated.

"In my head it is, I can't just let them get away with murdering my uncle Gio, I can't" he sobs as he slides down to the floor.

Gio looks at him, he knew exactly how he felt, powerless as a man. He too lost he's father during a shootout with the Russians, it was supposed to be his last day on the job, he didn't think it was hi last day in earth. Vincent was there, every day, helping him through it, he paid for the funeral and counselling. He had to help his brother out in the same way but Gio knew that revenge wasn't an option.

"Vincent, vai a casa e riposare" Gio suggests, "E capirò un modo per entrare nel loro livello"

[Translate: Go home and rest and I'll figure out a way to help you get to their building]

Vincent looks up at Gio, he wipes his tears, "Thank you brother"

"Farò lo stesso per te come hai fatto per me, l'onore del fratello"

[Translation: I'll do the same as you as you did for me, brother's honor]

He gets up from the floor and give Gio a hug. Gio sighs, knowing that he's about to regret what he's going to do but he had to, Vincent had to heal, one way or another.

They bid their farewells and Vincent makes the drive back home when he gets and call from Angelo.

"Brother"

"How are you Angelo?" He replies

"Better, you?"

"I'm doing fine, what's up?"

"Mi manca il fratello e penso che sia il momento in cui vogliamo vedere la zia"

[Translation: I miss you brother and I think it's time we go see Aunty]
