He was smart enough to change his residence, knowing we would come for him, but it wasn't hard to track him down again, especially since we have eyes and ears everywhere. We are the Scorpiono Mafia, and our reputation precedes us—the ease with which we silence those who cross us, and our strict code of leaving no stone unturned. Fabian should have known better before crossing us."Are you ready?" my father asked, looking at me with the same expression he had when I was younger and too scared to protect my family's name.Now, I know what's right."You trained me to always be ready. Why would I go against that?" I replied confidently."Good, because we're here," he said as the car slowed to a stop.We parked a short distance away from the location so as not to raise any alarms.
