As much as it hurts to laugh Viscoris could not help himself - “Bahaha, all I can remember from last night was a lot of shots, you chasing after a thug that stole your meatball sandwich and you telling the security guard outside one of the clubs that he looked like an inbred cunt, so whatever was on that shirt it could not of been good.” Dazed and confused Charlie managed to pull himself up while grabbing the bottle of whiskey that was on the ground, even though it was morning it did not stop Charlie from taking a swig of the whiskey, putting the cap back on the bottle Charlie let out a big burp “Augh, brother that was one hell of a Meatball Sandwich, too many shots were taken not much I remember from last night, I am surprised you were the one with all the marks as I was the one chasing after the stupid thug, you must have gotten into deep shit." 

Viscoris was not going to head into the HQ till later in the day so he had a few hours to recoup and has some personal business to attend to. A starving Viscoris slowly got up off his bed to which he was already regretting, stretching his aching body ready to complete his morning routine which included breakfast, shower, morning dump and a cup of coffee.

Viscoris did not have to worry about Charlie being alone by himself in his apartment, the short time knowing each other they were instant brothers. As long as there was alcohol in the apartment Charlie would be happy, he already knew where the stash of alcohol was because it was the first question he asked Viscoris upon entering the apartment for the first time. Viscoris didn’t mind Charlie drinking all his alcohol, just as long Charlie didn’t touch Viscoris’s 20-year-old scotch. Viscoris has a glass of his 20-year-old scotch to help numb the pain of losing his first love.

Exiting his apartment dressed in his favourite white buttoned up shirt and his new black pants, sporting a brand-new watch that his friends gave him for his recent birthday. Viscoris was not a very fashionable mobster, he is happy with his jeans and singlet but today his visiting his lady interest @Luna, so he has to dress to impress.

Viscoris signalled for his main bodyguard Raphael to bring the car to the front of the apartment complex, Viscoris doesn’t like to pick favourites but Raphael held a special spot in his heart. A few years ago, before Raphael was Viscoris’s bodyguard he was living on the streets, Raphael would always sit on the pavement next to Viscoris’s favourite Pizzeria and offer advice for not a single dollar but only wanted payment in the form of your company and a conversation. When Viscoris initially noticed this gentleman on the street on his way into his favourite pizzeria he did not pay any attention to him not because he thought any less of him but Viscoris just thought everything was great in his life; A loving partner and a successful family. Those 2 things are truly what you need to be happy. To this day Viscoris regrets not talking to Raphael sooner, but one-day Viscoris’s partner was collateral damage in a drive-by and was pronounced dead on the scene. So upset with his loss he did not leave his apartment for days on end. During those days of being secluded in his self-made prison, Viscoris had time to think about how he would get payback on the people responsible for killing his first love. Leaving his apartment for the first time since his first day of imprisonment, he walked to the Pizzeria, walking past the gentleman sitting at his usual spot Viscoris halted 10m in front of him, Viscoris was vulnerable and lost he had no sense of direction so he reluctantly sat next to the gentleman, Viscoris with his arms wrapped around his knees and his face down he did not know what to say he did not know how to express himself, his whole life all he knew was to be tough,  be strong for your family, no one can hurt you unless you let them. As I was sitting there reminiscing the trauma, Viscoris felt a soft hand on my right shoulder the following words that came out of the gentleman’s lips, it broke Viscoris it sliced through the wall he has had up for his whole life like a hot knife through butter.    

“Hey buddy, what’s gotten you down” Those were the words that cracked Viscoris six words to be exact, tears flowing down his face Viscoris was too ashamed to face his comforter the gentleman introduced himself to Viscoris as Raphael, the two-eating pizza that Viscoris bought for them they indulged in conversation about their life story. Viscoris inspired by Raphael’s past decided straight off the bat that he will take him off the streets and welcome into his home, offering Raphael the spare bedroom it was the least Viscoris could do, the talk they had on the pavement gave Viscoris’s life some hope and meaning. Viscoris had to find Raphael some sort of work he did not need any more bodyguards, but he could not think of any jobs that fit his background. Raphael was a fighter, fought on the streets of Seattle for food and shelter his whole life sometimes it would be days he would go without food or water.

Viscoris will have a chat to his accountant the next day about employing his new friend and housemate. Once Raphael gets settled into his new surroundings Viscoris sent him out to his favourite Tailor to do him up some suits Raphael certainly not used to wearing such clothing, but Viscoris demands his employees to represent him at a high level. With his new suits hanging over his shoulder Raphael was due for a haircut Viscoris knew just the place to go, once arrived at the barbers Viscoris bluntly told the barber “ one on the side with a trim on top and blend with a two also trim the beard make it look presentable” this was Viscoris’s way of showing Raphael that he wants to be represented very well, deep down Viscoris knew that Raphael will have more exemptions than his fellow colleagues Viscoris can't help but owe Raphael his life because what might of happened if they did not meet, couldn’t have been good.  

Exiting the elevator on the sixth floor introducing Raphael to all the members of the family it as clear that they all are taking a liking to him Raphael was just that type of person that gives off a good vibe Raphael was fitting in quite nicely, even in the place Viscoris was most safe Raphael couldn’t help but keep a close eye on Viscoris however, he did let some leeway on the distance between each other.

For the first time, Raphael is seeing the behind the scenes of a criminal organisation yet they don’t like being called such a heinous word they were just a family brought into this type of world by their parents all forcing their children to follow in their footsteps. Raphael was always intrigued in this side of the world plenty of times while he was living on the streets he generally comes across the local mafia while there on the daily routine offering him a meal for dinner or breakfast so personally, they weren’t all that they were portrayed to be.

After a long day at the HQ, Raphael had the car outside ready to leave for home both getting into the car Viscoris with a sincere voice

“You’re apart of the family now, outside of work hours if you need anything we are here”

Viscoris looking in the front mirror noticing a tear shedding from Raphael’s eyes Viscoris knew all he wanted was to be a part of something and Viscoris was happy to give him the opportunity to be loved and welcomed, Viscoris will keep Raphael out of the criminal ways

After reminiscing the beginning of a wonderful friendship with Raphael during the daily car ride to Luna’s apartment he was more excited than normal what is so different with this trip than the previous ones maybe he knew that Luna will look after his mysterious wounds and feed his stomach, knowing Luna Viscoris will have to prepare to deal with a beatdown of questions regarding these marks, tell the truth and say he can not remember but know full well she wont believe him or tell a lie and say he defended a woman’s honour and fought off a group of gangsters trying to have a good time, the latter sounds the better option Raphael looking back in the front mirror seeing Viscoris groggy and in pain “Rough night?” giving a little chuckle.

 Viscoris not impressed with Raphael’s remark “You can say that, how about you keep your eyes on the road we don’t want another incident like Monday right?”

Shocked and embarrassed Raphael let out a sigh “Vis, the child ran on the road I had no choice but to swerve”

“I’m playing with you buddy, we needed a new car anyway was a piece of shit”

 Viscoris leaning back into the seat excited to meet his girl, finally arriving outside her apartment
“Raph, stay in the car I shouldn’t be too long”

Struggling to contain his excitement knocking heavily on the front door as Luna Swung the front door open and leapt into Viscoris’s arms “Vis!”

Viscoris wraps his arms around Luna's waist and passionately kisses her while he shuts the door gently behind him with the back of his foot leading her to the bedroom, unfortunately Luna was not expecting Viscoris to pop by and recently made her bed. After being treated like a king, his stomach full and his body not so much in pain as before normally he would stick around and hang out with his favourite lady before heading into HQ but has further commitments, saying his goodbyes Viscoris exited Luna's apartment and met Raphael in his car ready to take Viscoris to his next stop.
