The Procession

Things had been calm since the night at the casino. Saverio had all but fallen off the face of the planet with both my allies and I doing everything in our power to find him.

I'd resolved to find the fucker and kill him before Marco's secret got out for two reasons.

One, my alliances and credibility.

Two, Marco's influence was growing with his engagement to Elena. He was retaking hold of Sicily, gaining people's respect as he proved himself to be a capable leader, therefore he had more to lose.

I would be damned if he fell to the mafia abyss because of some jaded bitch. Every meeting that had taken place amongst my allies included me stressing the importance of standing by the DiBiancci Don in these trying times, and thanks to a little cash persuasion, my points had everyone's undying support.

Marco had fully formed armies behind him now.
