She suppressed a gasp when Daniel landed a kick on that man's legs making him stmble inside. 

" Who the f*ck you work for?" Alberto glowered ripping of the duct tape from that man's mouth making him groan in pain.

Alberto left hand was wrapped in a bandage that started from his palm upto his elbow while his other hands fingers was busy digging in that man's neck strangling it.

Edna felt her heart going uneasy at the scene unfolding in front of her as the man's brown orbs rolled back in his head , his face turning bluish.

His hand on which a bullet was shot was not moving and he wondered did it was even attached to his body because he can’t feel a damn thing on it.

She whispered out, her pale blue orbs heavy with fear, her lips trembling working like a fuel to increase my rage." Nothing is going to happen to you, I promise you that." I vowed, pressing my lips on my sweet angel's forehead.She nodded wordlessly, before I wiped out her tears and helped her standing up." Stay here and don't come out unless I tell you so..."

    EIGHT YEARS LATER - VIRGINIA, USA A frown was set upon Edna's lips, her brown hair rolled in a messy bun resting at the nape of her neck. Placing a hand on her hip she walked towards the two kids wrestling and rolling each other on the grass. " Damiano, let go of him this instant." Edna chewed out the words at the boy which was sitting on the stomach of the younger one, he stilled like a statue hearing her." Up!" Edna instructed in a harsh voice, when his blue eyes looked innocently at her. " Mama!" The boy whisphered softly reminding her of Adriano. He was just like his father. Ignoring her son, who was locking his fingers in front of him looking down at the ground like a culprit under his mother gaze, she crouched down in front of the younger one. " You okay, baby!" Edna asked her voice soft contrary to her previous harsh one. “Yes, aunt." The boy answered, his grey eyes looking at the worked up face of his aunt who was wiping the dirt from his chubby cheeks.

    Adriano dropped in a crouch in front of a smirking Donatello. There was anticipation and anxiety thick in air, as everyone else held their breath waiting for the next move of their Don. " What makes you think that I don't have a backup plan too, Donatello?" there was a mocking edge to Adriano's tone as cocked his head to the side. Donatello furrowed his brow as Adriano gripped his left wrist hard, before unstrapping his nonno's watch. Grey eyed man pressed his lips in thin line, his stone cold features turning into confused one. " You think, only you are the one that can play games." Adriano kicked his brow up as he pulled out a small microphone chip from inside the vintage watch. " Too bad! You hadn't played with me." Adriano murmured twirling the chip around his cylindrical finger, stuffing his nonno's watch in his pocket. &

Ma'am. We should leave. It's about time." Peter spoke from a few distance away from her making her jump in air, startled." God! Peter! Make some noise next time."

His voice was firm and confident.Edna sighed standing up from the couch, taking small steps towards Adraino.

Donatello put his elbow on his knees, stapling his fingers together, he rested his chin on it." How is your wound?"

Dobatello questioned, hands behind his back, fingers locked together." Si." Sienna gave a nod in his direction along with a warm smile.That smile, which was the only thing that kept his otherwise dead heart alive." Show her the room. She will be staying with us."
