"Sounds like a cool job, huh?" Said Kenny with a small, tired smile on his face. "What do you think they do to the body?" Kenny crossed his arms and leaned against a wall, looking at Fat Chip Iannuci dead body. Kenny looked over at Albert, who probably knew what the waste removal crew was going to do with the body, Albert just looked at Kenny and smiled, that man was full of secrets. Kenny made a disgusted face then laughed, grabbing his pack of cigarettes and lighting one. He placed the cigarette on his lips while he eyed Sammy and his boy wrapping the corpse and carrying it to the truck, Albert followed them to the exit and Kenny waited.

"Well, Kenny, let's continue?" Albert said, rubbing his hands together, Kenny sighed and looked around the warehouse, spotting the pile of wooden boxes.

"There is any gasoline around here? Gotta burn the boxes." Kenny took a drag out of his cigarette while Albert pointed his index finger towards where they found Iannuci, Kenny nodded his head and walked towards the room to pick up the gasoline. He opened the door and entered the small room, he looked over at the box with ice where they found Ianucci and on the side of that, there was a medium red gas can, Kenny grabbed it and shook the can. "That'll do." He thought to himself, it was half full so it was enough fuel to burn the boxes.

Returning to the main warehouse to meet Albert and burn the boxes, Kenny heard a loud bang coming from there, he quickly dropped the gas can and grabbed his revolver. He arrived at the door who was closed, he quickly checked the barrel of his gun, it was fully loaded, he turned the safety off and slowly opened the door without making noise, with his gun at the ready.

Kenny walked towards where the shot sound came from, pointing his gun, he quickly turned around the corner and noticed a man standing near AlbertHofmann's dead body with a gun on his hand.

"Albert!" Kenny screamed and pointed the gun at the killer's head, as he was about to pull the trigger, he felt the cold steel of a gun behind his neck.

"Drop it." The man behind Kenny said.

Kenny kept pointing his revolver at the man's head, the guy behind him, who ordered him to drop the weapon pressed his gun deeper into Kenny's neck.

"I said drop it." Kenny heard the man behind him turning the safety of his gun off, Kenny dropped his gun and slowly raised his arms, surrendering. The man behind him walked in front of Kenny and kicked his revolver towards the other man and got back behind Kenny, now pressing the gun against his back.

"Kenny Ligambi.. Or should I say Kenny Russo?" The man near Albert said, opening a sarcastic smile. "You know how to hide, I'll give you that. But hanging out with the same people and using the same first name? That was a dumb move." The man paced back and forth, rubbing his hand on the barrel of his gun, sometimes turning his look to Kenny. "See, I've got some friends. They decided to make a move on Detroit and remove your buddies from power. I offered my help and in turn, they would give me your location. My boss wants to talk with you."

When Kenny heard "remove your buddies from power" he was filled with rage, his hand started shaking but he stayed quiet and just listened. He planned to make a move next time the man started talking.

"My boss.." When Kenny heard his voice, he quickly turned his body around and delivered a powerful strike with his elbow at the man behind him who dropped his gun, Kenny quickly reached for his belt while he moved his body behind the man he had just hit, behind him, Kenny grabbed the man by the hair with his left hand, pulled his head back and quickly placed his hunting knife on his neck, pressing it carefully so he doesn't kill his hostage.

"Drop your fucking gun or I WILL kill him." Kenny screamed and the guy with the gun pointed it at him, Kenny pressed the edge of the knife harder against the man's neck, his friend could see the blood dripping but he seemed unimpressed.

"Quintu said you weren't going to surrender." He sighed and kept pointing the gun at Kenny, more rage filled Kenny when he heard the name Quintu. He looked at the back of the warehouse and noticed two shadows sneaking in, he had no idea who it was but he knew it was help. He knew he had to distract the man with the gun.

"Quintu, huh?" Said Kenny and with the corner of his eye he was looking at the mysterious shadows approaching. "I thought after me and my allies were removed from power a month ago you Clementes would move on and forget about our beef in America."

"Oh, we forgot. After your enemies removed you and Lucchese we thought America was ours but rumors were that you're still kicking. After you killed Bruno, Quintu has been very, very pissed. They weren't in good terms but blood is blood. He heard the rumors and put me on it, and here we are." The man showed his gun and opened a smile. He holstered it and started walking towards Kenny.

"I've got good news for ya, my man. Well.. not so good, but I think you'll like." Kenny pressed his hunting knife deeper into his hostage neck and stared at the unarmed man, signaling him to stop walking, he laughed and raised his hands.

"Ok.. Ok.. So, Quintu said, if Kenny gets out of line, use his rage against him. His words: "Kenny's rage is what makes him a outstanding soldier. It's also his biggest weakness if used right by us." There was some kind of admiration in his voice. He respects you, Kenny. But I don't. I once stole a kid's candy. His rage scared me more than yours."

The man continued pacing towards Kenny with a superior posture. Smiling, he started talking again.

"Two months ago, there was an attack in the Clemente's HQ in Palermo. We won. Most of the attackers died or fled, except one particular Russo.. We captured him, let me tell you, he isn't looking good."

When the man was close enough to Kenny, he wanted to kill the hostage but decided to keep listening. The man reached for his gun and started rubbing his hand against it, looking at Kenny.

"So, this Russo. Cool story, everyone in America thought he was dead. He goes by the nickname what was it? Hmm." The man lowered his head and looked down on his gun, still smiling. He slowly raised his head, staring dead in his Kenny's eyes. "The quiet man."

The man raised his gun and pointed at Kenny's head. It worked, he used his rage against him. Kenny lost control of himself. He slit his hostage throat, blood spilled everywhere as the man chocked on his own blood, Kenny pushed him against the armed man and charged him. The man pulled the trigger and hit Kenny on the left clavicle bone. The pain coming from his left shoulder slowed him down as the man walked towards Kenny. He didn't wanted to kill him, he wanted to capture him. Kenny fell down on his knees due to the pain but quickly got on his feet again and charged one more time, blind with rage.

Another shot was fired and the noise echoed loudly on the warehouse, Kenny kept charging the man as he fell down on his back. He looked at the side and the two mysterious shadows had shot the man in the leg. He noticed it was Aleks Tomson, his long time friend who was working in LV and another guy who Kenny had no idea who it was. Kenny grabbed the man by the collar of his shirt with his right hand and with difficulty, he dragged him across the warehouse and into a wall.

"GET THE FUCK UP!" Kenny growled, grabbing the wounded man by the armpit and managed to get him to stand, pushing him against the wall, he placed his elbow into the man's neck and stared in his eyes for nearly twenty seconds.

"You're.. going to tell me.." Kenny said, breathing heavily and feeling like his left elbow weighted a ton. "Where Anthony is. I promise I will kill you quick and painless. If you don't, I'll take the info out of you. I'm no Gaetano, but I can make you squeal like a pig." Kenny could see that the man was brave. He spit on Kenny's face and Kenny quickly delivered a headbutt, knocking the guy out.

Kenny lost his strength due to the shot and slowly sat on the ground, he looked at Aleks and his friend approaching him, carrying Kenny's hunting knife.

"There you go, brother." Aleks said as he handed Kenny's knife back to him and helped him stand, Kenny put the knife back into his belt while the other man gave him his revolver, he looked at the unknown man and asked who he was.

"He's a Lucchese." Aleks said as Kenny raised his eyebrow and looked at the man. Stefano never mentioned another Lucchese in America but he knew that the Lucchese's are brothers so he offered his hand to him and they shook hands. "Lucchese heard about what was going to happen and we came looking for you. Something big is happening in your home country, your family needs you."

"Yeah no shit." Kenny looked down at the knocked out guy and looked at Aleks. "So Anthony is alive.. Hm." Kenny let go of Aleks and managed to stand by himself, his arm wasn't looking good but he managed to endure the pain. "Thanks for the help, brothers. You guys can go now. I need to extract some info out of this guy."

"You're crazy, right? They'll send more people after you, bro." Aleks said, with worry on his voice. "Come with us to our hideout. We can treat that fucked up shoulder and get you back on your feet."

Kenny sighed.

"They're after me, man. I don't want to cause you guys any trouble."

Aleks smiled and grabbed his keys from his pocket.

"They'll be in trouble with us together again. Come on man, you're going to get yourself killed. Let us help. We can protect you."

Kenneth was reluctant. He didn't wanted to bring harm to his friends over in LV, but his family needed him in Sicily and he had to rescue his brother, Anthony. He breathed heavily and looked down at the knocked out guy.

"A'ight. Can you please carry this fucker to the car and tie him up somewhere? I want to fix my shoulder and have a one-on-one time with this guy. I gotta know where they're holding Anthony."

"Ok. Michael, can you carry the guy to the car and put him in the trunk?" Aleks said as he threw the keys to Lucchese. "The car is open. Want me to help you getting there?"

"Nah." Kenny said walking towards Albert. He got down on his knees and whispered "I'm sorry" to him. He got up and looked at his shoulder, he wasn't a doctor but he knew that something was broken in there. "Bring him with us. We can't leave him here. I can walk there on my own." 

Aleks nodded and grabbed Albert and put him on his shoulders, carrying him to the car.

Arriving at the car, Michael threw the man in the ground and opened the trunk then he put the man there. Aleks tried doing the same, but Kenny stopped him.

"Don't put him there with that worm. Put him in the back of the car, don't worry, no one will bother us. Police is on the payroll."

Aleks put the man in the backseat of the car and Kenny went to the other side and sat next to Albert's dead body. Aleks turned the engine of the car on as Michael entered the car and they drove off to Aleks hideout in Detroit.

A passed and Kenny was already feeling better from the wound, Aleks and Michael hired a very good doctor who managed to fix Kenny shoulder. He needed to wear an arm sling but he saw no problem with that. He woke up in the morning and Michael-Lucchese helped him to get his arm on the sling and they went to the kitchen to grab breakfast.

"Not hungry. I'll get a toast and this." Kenny raised his good arm and opened a top shelf, from there he pulled a bottle of rum and cracked it up with his teeth, pulling the bottle stopper. He took a good swig out of is and placed the bottle on the table, where he grabbed a piece of toast and started chewing a bit.

"So, how is the guy doing?" Kenny asked, referring to the guy from the warehouse.

"Not so great." Michael said, opening a smile. "He is living with only bread and water, nothing else. We didn't touched him, Aleks just handcuffed him and threw him in a dark room. There's only a bed and a bucket. The place isn't smelling great. I don't think he can even wipe his bum with those handcuffs."

Kenny laughed and took another swig out of the bottle.

"Can you drive me there? Arm is already feeling pretty good so I think I'm ready to get some info out of him."

Michael raised his cup of coffee and said that they'll go once he finishes. Kenny sat on the table with his bottle and kept trying to remember the techniques Gaetano Russo used. He remembers the needle between the nails and only that. 

"Do you have some needles around here?" Kenny asked and Michael said no but added that Aleks could arrange some. Kenny nodded and walked towards the phone and dialed Aleks_Tomson number.

"Yo mate. Yeah I'm doing fine, arm's a little better. So, can you get some needles and bring to where you're keeping that guy? Yeah I'm coming over as soon as Michael finishes his breakfast. Alright man, thanks. And do me a favor? Tie him up in a chair. Ai'ght thank you."

Kenny hung up the phone and looked behind him where Michael was vesting his coat and getting the car keys. Kenny walked towards the nightstand near the door and grabbed his hunting knife and his revolver, placing them both on his waist belt. Michael opened the door and Kenny followed him into the garage.

Upon arriving at Aleks hideout, where they were keeping the guy, Kenny got out of the car and lit a cigarette, very slowly because he had only one arm. With the cigarette lit he let it rest on his lips while he and Michael-Lucchese walked towards the entrance. Michael knocked on the door and leaned against the wall next to it while going through some notes while Kenny just stood in place smoking his cigarette. A few seconds later Aleks opened the door and greeted them.

"Hey bro." Aleks gave Kenny a pat on the good shoulder. "Got your needles and tied the dude up. He's waiting for you. Hope you can endure bad smell cause that dude's shit is fucking disgusting and I ain't cleaning that crap."

Kenny laughed and nodded his head for Aleks to escort him and Michael to where he was keeping the guy. They followed him and arrived at the room, it smelled awful and Kenny looked at the guy, all tied up and laughed at him, pointing his good arm at the shit bucket. Aleks handed over a needle to Kenny, who grabbed it and walked towards the man. He placed the needle on the table next to him.

"Gaetano taught me a little something when we tortured Bruno." Kenny grabbed the needle with his good arm and showed it to him. "Let me explain: I will prick this needle under your nail and push it slowly. The pain is excruciating and it causes very little bleeding." Kenny briefly stopped and placed the needle back on the table. "So I can keep doing this to you for who knows how long?"

Kenny reached for his waist belt and pulled his hunting knife and showed it to him. He kicked the chair and the man fell with it. Kenny slowly walked and kneeled by his side, he gently placed the knife on the man's throat.

"But first, as I have no patience to do such a thing, I'll cut of your manhood, your ears and I'll drop that bucket of shit into your head. We can call a doctor to keep you alive and stop you for bleeding out, so, shall we? Get him up Aleks."

Aleks walked and placed the guy up and started removing his pants, Kenny stood by his side, staring at his blade.

"Wait.." The guy said and Aleks stopped removing his pants. Kenny signaled with the knife for him to keep talking. "Promise to kill me fast if tell you where they are."

Kenny nodded his head and signaled for him to keep going.

"They're keeping Anthony in Cefala Diana, on the hills in the north." Kenny raised his eyebrow and placed his knife on his waist belt, he pulled up the table and sat on it.

"Ai'ght wait, I already knew about Cefala Diana. Bruno ratted Quintu out. Why are they keeping Anthony there?" Kenny scratched his head, thinking. It doesn't make any sense because Bruno would probably tell them that Anthony is still alive. "Never mind. First, tell me your name. We've been friends for a week and I don't even know how to call you."

The man said that his name was Marco.

"Alright Marco. Two questions: Fortifications and how many people are defending it."

"How many fortifications do you have here? And how many people defending it?"

Kenny raised his eyebrow.

"It's the same there. A hideout. They're keeping Anthony and hiding Quintu. Maximum five people. They're hiding in a church on the west."

Kenny jumped off the table and grabbed his hunting knife, he walked behind the guy and raised his hand.

"That wasn't so hard, was it?" Kenny sarcastically said then he buried his hunting knife on Marco's skull and turned the handle, making a hole on his head. Kenny reached for his pockets and grabbed a piece of paper and handed it over to Aleks.

"Waste removal crew from Detroit. Ask for Sammy and mention my name." Aleks grabbed the paper and nodded his head. Kenny pulled the knife out of Marco's skull and cleaning it on his shirt. He placed the knife still a bit dirty on his waist belt and said goodbye to Aleks. He and Michael exited the house and got in the car.

"Drop me in the airport, I'll book a flight to NY. Gotta talk with Dean-Winchester"

Kenny booked the flight to NY to the next day, so he still had free time to spend on Detroit. He and Michael decided to drop by the Russo's bar to get business flowing like it used to. Sitting on the car with a cigarette lit, Kenny appreciated the Detroit view as the wind hit his face, he took a drag out of the cigarette and looked at the wing mirror of the car, he noticed a car behind them that he's sure he saw parked at the airport.

"I think we're being tailed." Kenny said opening the glove box of the car and grabbing his revolver. "Turn on the next exit, if that car right there turns too that means they're following us."

Michael nodded and two km after he turned on the next exit, the car did the same, they were being tailed.

"So, run or fight?" Kenny asked Michael, he seemed hesitant, looking at Kenny's injured arm. "I can still shoot with the right arm." Michael shook his head, saying that they're outnumbered. Kenny didn't knew that Lucchese well but he looks like a true soldier so he trust his judgement. He nodded his head and Michael stepped on it. When the other car noticed they were running, they started to drive fast as well. Michael-Lucchese was a very good driver so Kenny wasn't worried about they catching up. After various risky turns Michael did, Kenny noticed another car in front of them driving towards their car and not stopping. Michael was forced to stop his car. They had nowhere to go. Both cars stopped and cornered them, closing the exits and giving them no chance of escape. Kenny sighed and opened the car door, exiting it.

"Sup, fellas." Kenny said, leaning against the car door. There were five men. "Let me guess, Clementes?"

A bald guy wearing sun glasses holding a 1930 Thompson nodded his head and smiled.

"I take it that Marco failed his assignment, yeah?" He had sort of a British accent, weird, because most of the Clementes are Sicilian soldiers.

"Yep." Kenny said moving his hands towards his pockets, all the men pointed their guns at him. "I'm just going for a cigarette, chill." 

Kenny grabbed the pack of cigarettes and slipped one out and placed it on his lips, he handed the pack over to Michael who also got one and lighted it, Michael stashed the pack of cigarette on his pockets and borrowed Kenny his lighter.

"So, you got me then." Kenny lit his cigarette and took a long drag out of it. "Let Michael go."

"You're joking, right?" Said the bald guy, opening a sick smile. "He's a Lucchese, boss wants us to take him as well."

The bald guy holding the big gun took some steps forward, walking towards Kenny and Michael. He cleared his throat.

"You heard my accent, right? I'm British. Let me tell you, the dice over there is evil." Kenny raised his eyebrow. He was British and said that dice is evil. That was Kenny's and Vice distress signal that something is wrong. The man tilted his head towards the man next to him and Kenny knew what he wanted him to do. The bald guy knew Vice and that was enough for Kenny to trust him. The guy lifted his Thompson and rained fire upon the other three guys that were behind Kenny and Michael and Kenny swiftly grabbed his revolver from his waist belt and shot the guy next to the bald man. The bald guy sighed as the other four men dropped dead on the floor.

"Well, you blew my cover. I was working for the Clementes for nearly four years and you fuck everything up in four minutes. Congratulations." The bald man lowered his Thompson and Kenny holstered his gun. "My name is Charlie Runkle. I'm brother to the guy you know as the Vice. I heard people finally managed to pop him. A shame, I always told him to stay in Europe. Where is Ronnie?"

"Dead. Was caught in a war. I'm sorry." Kenny said and Charlie_Runkle sighed.

"Well, shit. I better stay away from Rihanna then, she will kill me when she finds out. Poor kid. Alright, we need to get out of here. Do you guys have a hideout?"

Michael nodded his head and got in the car again, Kenny and Charlie did the same, Michael turned the engine on and drove off to Aleks hideout. Meanwhile Kenny and Charlie were talking and since Charlie blew his cover, he was going to need some help removing some of the Clementes business in Chicago and Detroit. Kenny and Michael agreed on helping him out since it was in their interest too to remove the Clementes. They were making a move some months ago, Kenny and Stefano were fighting them but something happened and they were forced to stop. Their operation for sure expanded and that was going to be hard work, but it had to be done.

"So, I'm going to be quick about this cause I have somewhere else to be." Charlie said, sitting on the table on Aleks hideout. Kenny sat in front of him, Aleks_Tomson was sitting on the table smoking one of his Cuban cigarettes. Charlie started talking again. "After Vice died and both of you caught a bullet in the ass and went into hiding, the Clementes expanded their operation here in Detroit and some in Chicago. They're running a prostitution ring in the basement of a butcher's shop. Isn't very well guarded, so it's an easy job. You both get in, steal the money and kill the guards. Let the girls alive, they have nothing to do with it. Here's the address, the butcher's shop it in Corktown. You guys have to do it tonight, send a message that Russo and Tomson are back on business. They'll receive today on nightfall a cocaine delivery in the docks, I plan on going there and torching it. I know Aleks is in LV and you're in NY, Kenny. But we need to remove the Clementes from every place in the States so we're starting in Detroit then Chicago."

Kenny and Aleks paid full attention to Charlie, Aleks grabbed the piece of paper with the address and raised an eyebrow.

"Isn't that the place where you used to sell clandestine cigarettes Kenny?" Aleks said and handed Kenny the paper.

"Oh yeah I have a good relationship with the butcher's shop owner. He'll let us in. I just have to call him."

"Awesome." Charlie said. "Get in, kill some fucks, steal the money and get out. Easy job. We'll meet here again tomorrow, deal?"

Kenny nodded his head and Charlie got up from the chair, he shook Kenny and Aleks hand and left the place with Michael to do another job. Kenny went to Aleks phone and dialed the butcher's number. His wife picked it up.

"Afternoon, miss. It's Kenneth Russo. I was hiding. Where is Robert? At work? Alright. I need you to talk with him to meet me at the corner of his butcher shop at 23 PM. It's important. Thanks." The woman started talking and explaining what happened and Kenny's face turned white. "I promise."

Kenny hung up the phone and walked back to the kitchen where Aleks was cleaning his gun.

"Be ready at 23 PM. We'll storm the place. Don't hurt any of the girls, the butcher's daughter is one of them. The Clementes kidnapped her and forced her to work in that place and they're holding her hostage"

Aleks nodded his head and got ready. It was almost 20 PM so they had little time to organize a plan. They quickly geared up and Aleks went to his car to drive to the location. Kenny tried moving his injured arm, it was a little better. He removed the arm sling and entered the car as Aleks started the engine and drove off into the night.

They parked around the corner so they don't make any noise and announce their arrival to the enemy, Kenny and Aleks walked towards where Kenny used to park his truck, Robert was supposed to be there waiting for them. The night was cold and the sky was clear, it was a beautiful night. Kenny checked his waist belt, there was his hunting knife and his trusty revolver. Aleks was carrying his baseball bat, holding the handle with his right hand and letting the top of the baseball bat rest on his shoulders. He was carrying a pistol on the little holster he liked to wear in his chest. They finally arrived near the butcher shop and sneaked past the windows so the enemy didn't see them. They managed to do so and met Robert, who was sitting on the hood of his car right around the butcher's shop corner.

"Robert! Hows it going?" Kenny said, extending his hand to the man. They shook hands and Robert started talking.

"I'm good. Look, my basement is big. I used to run a heroin operation down there. You aren't familiar with it but here's a little map. There is the middle corridor, on the end of it there is the main hall. There is two other corridors on the left and in the right. On the side of those side corridors there is the bathroom and a small kitchen. I advise you both to not use guns. They rented a house nearby and there is 10 or more boys in there. Go in melee, they don't use guns there, only on the butcher's shop. There is two guys guarding the entrance and armed, I can distract one and the other one of you can get to him through the back door. After you guys finish I have a little surprise for you. And please bring my daughter back."

Kenny nodded.

"Let's see who goes through the back. Rock, paper or scissor, Aleks?" Kenny raised his closed fist and Aleks laughed, he raised his. "1, 2, 3!" They both made hand signals. Aleks showed a paper and Kenny showed a rock. That meant Kenny had to go through the back.

"Damn it!" Kenny cursed as Aleks laughed.

"Let me go through the back, it's more dangerous and you're still injured. I'll handle it." Aleks_Tomson said as he took a big drag out of his Cuban cigar and threw it on the floor. Robert signaled Kenny to follow him and Aleks ran to the backdoor with they key Robert gave him. As Kenny as Robert arrived at the front door, Robert told Kenny to take cover on the side of the door, where the guard wouldn't see it. Kenny did what he was told as Robert opened the door and the guard quickly approached him.

"The fuck you're doing here, Robert?" The guard growled then the old man Robert gave him a powerful punch on the neck, making him fall down on the ground, Kenny opened a smile, he never thought that he would see Robert fighting but Kenny knew that this man used to be a mobster. They both got in as Kenny drew his hunting knife and slit the guards throat, Kenny walked to the back, where Aleks was supposed to be and Robert dragged the guard's dead body to hide behind the counter.

Kenny arrived at the back and found Aleks with his baseball bat dirty with blood, there was two armed guards on the back and Aleks managed to put them down.

"You okay?" Said Kenny as he got down on his knees to cut the two guards throats. "I'm fine, that guy had the pistol I wanted to buy! I claim dibs." Aleks got on his knees and grabbed the automatic pistol that one of the guards had, he stashed it on the other holster then he cleaned the blood out of his bat. He and Kenny walked back to where Robert was, arriving there he was silently opening the hatch to the basement. When he opened, he walked towards the dead guard and grabbed his weapon, in case someone walks in when Kenny and Aleks are downstairs. Robert nodded his head and Kenny and Aleks entered the basement, it was big. There was the main corridor, with a closed door on the end. Must be where they're running the prostitution business. There was the side corridors, where probably was being patrolled. Kenny tilted his head to the right corridor and Aleks nodded, getting his bat ready. He walked off to check if there was any guards there, Kenny did the same but on the left side. Kenny leaned against the wall and slowly walked to the corner, he peeked and saw a guard coming in his direction, it was almost too easy for Kenny. He waited for the man to approach and as he was close enough, Kenny delivered a power elbow to his nose, making him fall on the ground. He heard some bat noises, Aleks was fighting too. Kenny slit the guard's throat with his hunting knife as he felt someone grabbing him from behind. There was another guard there, he was stronger than Kenny so he dragged him to the wall like a doll. He pushed him against the wall and delivered various punches to Kenny's face. Suddenly Kenny heard a wet noise and the guard let him go, falling down on the ground. Kenny fell with him.

"Oh shit!" Aleks said. "Is that, brain? Gross. I opened a hole in this dude's head!" Kenny slowly got up, shaking his head, he noticed Aleks poking a pink thing on the floor with his bat. "Oh crap." Kenny belched, almost throwing up, he jokingly shoved Aleks away from the guy's brains. "Stop being an idiot." Kenny laughed as he shook his head once again, trying to recover. He asked Aleks if the other guy he was fighting was dead and he said yes. Kenny got down on his knees, grabbed his hunting knife and followed Aleks towards the main corridor, where there was the door to the prostitution business. They arrived and Kenny knocked twice and some guy in there screamed for them to wait. Kenny took cover on the wall as Aleks raised his bat and waited for the guy to open the door. When the guy opened the door, Aleks downed his metal bat towards his head at full speed, breaking his skull and instantly killing him. The guy dropped dead and Kenny entered the place with his hunting knife on hands, looking around. He saw a lot of dudes in there, probably clients, the women and two guys who looked like guards. Those two guys called for help and charged at Kenny and Aleks, who got into fighting stance. A tall guy was the first to arrived and he tackled Kenny to the ground and started choking him, Aleks couldn't help him because he was fighting too. A fat dude was fighting him, it was an easy fight for Aleks but the guy could take a hit. Aleks delivered various blows with his bat to the guys head but he managed to dodge some and block others with his arm. Aleks, worried about Kenny delivered another blow to the fat man's head as he blocked again with his arm, as he blocked, Aleks quickly stomped his knee, breaking it. The fat man screamed as he fell on the ground.

As Aleks was fighting, the man was choking the crap out of Kenny, he was holding his right arm with one hand and his neck with another. Kenny slowly moved his left arm to his waist belt, the injured arm. He grabbed his switchblade and with one painful move, he shoved the switchblade into the tall guy's ear, making him scream in pain and let Kenny go. Kenny got up feeling a massive pain in his clavicle bone but he tried to ignore it. He went for his hunting knife and stabbed the guy with full strength in the eye, instantly killing him. He pushed the knife out of the guy's skull and cleaned it on his clothes. Kenny got up and handed his hunting knife to Aleks_Tomson, who cut the fat man's throat, finally killing him.

"Eva?!" Kenny screamed, looking for the butcher's daughter. She was hiding on the side of a couch, she recognized Kenny's voice. She got up and ran towards him, giving him a hug. Kenny looked to the side and saw a strong dude with his dick out and screamed at him. "Put that thing back into your pants and watch this girl. If something happens to her I'll cut your ding dong off and feed you with it."

The guy quickly put his penis back into his pants and got up, Kenny signaled Eva to stay with him. Kenny and Aleks now moved towards another door, who probably there was more guards in there. Aleks opened the door and the two guards who were in the office rained fire upon them. Aleks quickly took cover,  dropped his metal bat and grabbed his automatic pistol, Kenny stashed his knife on his belt and grabbed his revolver, turning the safety off.

"Now we're fucked. The guys on the house are going to hear this ruckus." Kenny said, taking cover against the wall. Aleks heard one of the guys reloading and quickly peeked and saw an opening, he pulled the trigger of his automatic pistol, raining fire on one of the dudes. He fell on the ground, agonizing. The other man screamed and started firing against them, Aleks quickly went for cover again.

"Hahaha! Look at these guys. Raining fire like idiots. You sure these Clementes are good soldiers?"

"They are in Sicily." The shooter stopped to reload and Aleks killed him. Aleks walked into the office laughing and grabbing a big bag of money from the floor. Kenny walked towards the drawers and grabbed some papers and placed them on his pockets, could have valuable info in them. Aleks placed the bag on the table and opened it. It was filled with money.

"Jackpot! Imagine how much we can make with this on dice? House is fucked!" Kenny laughed and shook his head. "No dicing" he said.

Aleks laughed and closed the bag and they returned to the main room. They noticed Robert talking with his daughter there, he was holding a shotgun. Robert looked over Kenny and Aleks and said.

"Get ready, with all this noise we're going to have company."

"Alright, me and Aleks will hide on the side corridors, you hold this room with the shotgun, Robert. They won't go near you with that thing." Kenny said signaling Aleks to go to the left corridor. "Close the door with the key." Aleks ran to the left corridor and Kenny went to the right. They ran to the end of it and took cover on the corner. They could shoot anyone who gets down the stairs, but they would kill one or two, there would be people left upstairs and they would be trapped in the basement because if they try to go upstairs they'll just kill them. Kenny and Aleks remained in cover for some minutes as they heard the basement door opening. Nine or ten guys marched towards the door to the main room. Kenny checked the barrel of his revolver, it was loaded, six bullets. Aleks reloaded his automatic pistol and nodded his head to Kenny as the last man past towards them. They were trying to kick the door to the main room down as Kenny and Aleks appeared behind them, Aleks raining fire with his automatic pistol and Kenny going for head shots with his revolver. As Robert heard the shots, he started shooting with his shotgun against the door, carving a massive hole on it, hitting some of the guys. Three dudes managed to survive the first wave of fires as Kenny and Aleks took cover again to reload. Kenny heard some more shotgun noises and another body dropping on the floor. He peeked and saw Robert running back to the main room. He had killed another guy so there was two left.

Kenny noticed that they took cover on the left side, where Aleks was. He quickly ran to Aleks side and they both took cover on the same place. These two guys weren't stupid as the last ones. They were saving bullets. Kenny and Aleks tried to think of something to do but nothing came to mind, if they peeked, they'd eat a bullet, if they tried to shoot, they'd eat a bullet. It was up to Robert to help them. They waited for him. Kenny did a little peek to the main room door and saw Robert approaching with his shotgun on hands.

"Robert is going for another round, cover him." Kenny said to Aleks and he got out of cover and pulled the trigger of his automatic pistol, firing away all of the magazine in the wall. Kenny took the middle path and ran towards Robert. Robert kicked the door open and pointed his shotgun to the left side where the two men were taking cover. He fired a shot and kill one but the other man manage to hit him. Robert fell down and Kenny heard some punch noises. He rushed to help Robert and he turned his head, he saw Aleks beating the last man to death.

"Eva, help me!" Kenny screamed to the butcher's daughter. Robert was hit on the stomach, Kenny tried to pick him up but because of his injured arm he couldn't. Eva wasn't strong enough. Kenny screamed to Aleks for help and Aleks gave one last stomp on the guy's head, he rushed to aid Robert, Aleks picked him up and they rushed upstairs, Kenny went first to provide cover to Aleks, Eva and Robert. He went upstairs with his revolver at the ready and there was a kid with a small gun guarding the door, Kenny fired two shots and the kid dropped dead. They rushed to Robert's car and Aleks placed him on the backseat as Eva grabbed the keys.

"Wait.. Open the trunk, your surprise is there." Eva opened the trunk for them and in there, there was a box filled with cocktail molotovs and a note with an address. "They're running a small cocaine operation on that house I mentioned. Burn it to the ground."

"Alright! Now go, Eva. Take him to the hospital." Kenny said as he grabbed the box of molotovs. There was five. Aleks grabbed the note and closed the trunk. Aleks hit twice on it to let Eva know that she can drive away and she did, turned the engine on and drove to the hospital.

"Ready to do a little arson pal?" Aleks said with a smile on his face. Kenny returned the smile and nodded his head, following Aleks_Tomson to the address on the note. It wasn't far away.

Aleks quickly ran back into the butcher's shop basement to grab the bag of money he had to leave there to carry Robert to the car, Kenny waited for him outside on their car. He lit a cigarette and sat on the hood of the car, taking drag after drag, feeling immense pain on his left shoulder due to the brute move he had to do to defend himself from that tall guy. Kenny walked towards the trunk of Aleks car and opened it, he grabbed a bottle of whiskey and cracked it up, taking a long sip. He sat on the hood of the car again and waited for Aleks. After some minutes, Aleks_Tomson returned with the bag in hands and placed it on the trunk. He lit one of his Cuban cigars and grabbed the bottle of whiskey from Kenny and taking some sips. He returned the bottle to him, Kenny took one last swig of the bottle and finished it. He placed the thing on the ground away from the car and they walked towards the house where the Clementes were running a small coke operation.

They arrived at the address on the note, the house seemed to be empty. Probably all the dudes in there ran to the butcher's shop when they heard the shots. Kenny placed the molotov box on the ground and grabbed one, Aleks grabbed another. Kenny went for his lighter and grabbed it, lighting the cloth from his molotov, Aleks did the same. They both threw the thing on the window, setting fire to something inside. They did the same thing again on the other side of the house with the rest of the bottles and watched as the place burned to the ground. Kenny lit another cigarette and Aleks lit another Cuban cigar. They stayed there, watching the fire as they smoke.

Kenny finishes his cigarette and they walk back to the car. Getting there, they enter and Aleks turns the engine on, driving to the hideout. Arriving at the hideout, both men were exhausted. They went to the kitchen, drank some shots of gin then both went to their rooms and immediately falled asleep.

After that night Kenny had difficulty sleeping due to his injured shoulder. He woke up near afternoon, he moved his arm, the thing still hurt like hell. He got up from his couch and went to the bathroom to wash his face, after that he made his way to the kitchen where he found Aleks and Charlie. He nodded at them both and pulled up a chair.

"Sup fellas." Kenny said as he took a seat. Aleks_Tomson grabbed a cup and filled it with coffee for Kenny. "Baptize for me brother." Aleks nodded and dropped a bit of whiskey on the cup of coffee and gave it to Kenny. He thanked and took some sips. "So, I bet Aleks filled you in. Job done yesterday, got the money?"

"Yeah." Said Charlie taking a bite of a toast. While chewing he said. "Mine went pretty well too. The Lucchese guy is a good shot. Saved my ass when some dude creep up on me while I was torching the boat. Aleks said you guys burned down a house where they operated the other part of the cocaine operation, good job on that one." He took a sip out of his cup of tea and stuffed what was left of his toast into his mouth. When he finished eating it, he got up and grabbed his sun glasses. He reached for his coat and pulled a note.

"Ready for next assignment? This one is gunna be tricky." He ripped two pages of his notebook and gave one to Kenny and another to Aleks.

"Clementes are dealing with some bad shit now. Human trafficking. They'll be transporting nearly 20 people to Sicily to turn them into soldier, slaves or prostitutes. They have a pretty solid operation on this one because is the reason why they're pushing back the Russos and Luccheses on the war for Palermo. This is going to need to be stealth. I hope you guys can handle. If you go in guns blazing worst case scenarios you both get yourselves killed, but one thing will be sure: they will kill the hostages. We ain't the good guys here but we can't let that happen. I have a few silenced pistols in my car, I'll bring them here. Kenny, you'll go to the right side of the docks, Aleks will cover the left. You two will meet near the big ship where they will transport a big container where the people are being held. There will be a big padlock on the container that you guys will need to break, meanwhile I'll get a big truck so we can get all the people in cargo and drive away with everyone safe. You guys understood?"

Kenny rubbed his hand against his face and took a sip out of his coffee.

"Too early for that amount of information but yeah, gotcha." Kenny grabbed the pack of cigarettes that was on the table and lit one while Aleks followed Charlie outside to pick up the silenced pistols. He took a drag out of it and waited for them to come back.

"Here." Charlie placed the silenced guns on the table. "You guys will do this with the cover of the night. Stick to the plan and you guys will be fine. I'll scout the place with my binoculars and when I see you both breaking the padlock, I'll meet you guys with the truck at the exit."

Kenny finished his coffee and went to take a shower.

"I'll take a shower and go to my bar, I'll be here at 21 PM for us to do this."

The sun set and Kenny was getting ready to do the job, this one seemed complicated but Kenny had no choice but to do it, having Clementes in the United States was something Kenny could not let it happen, the way they conduct business is horrible and cruel, more than the usual families around. Human trafficking is something Kenny would never get his hands on; and he bets most of the families in the US wouldn't too. According to Charlie, this was the last job to weaken the Clementes in Detroit and Chicago, after that they could get a flight to Sicily to help the fight for Palermo and rescue Kenny's brother, Anthony Russo. Kenny didn't knew how to feel about that information, that he's brother is still alive. Maybe being dead is better than being a Clemente hostage, Kenny had scars all over his torso to tell that being a hostage to them isn't a fun ride in the park. 

Kenny was seated next to the window on his room at Aleks_Tomson hideout, he had a cigarette on his lips and a cup of coffee on his hand, he'd rather drink alcohol but he couldn't fuck this job up. As Charlie said, the twist in the war for Palermo, the reason why the Clementes were winning, was because of this human trafficking. Men were turned into soldiers, children into slaves and women into prostitutes for the Clemente family. Thanks to this, the Clementes had more money to afford better war equipment due to the American girls working at brothels. These war equipment were used by the American men, who were forced to fight the Russo's and Lucchese family. Most of the children were held hostage so the men and women wouldn't rebel and try to flee; causing less trouble to the Clemente operation. By cutting the supply of warriors, prostitutes and slaves the war could take a turn that would favor the Russos and Luccheses, so it was a must to get the job done.

Finishing his cigarette and taking the last sip of his cup of coffee, Kenny got up from his chair and grabbed the silenced pistol that Charlie_Runkle provided for him and Aleks, he placed it on his waist belt next to his hunting knife and the trusty revolver in case things go to shit and they're forced to fight their way out of the docks. Kenny grabbed his coat that was hanging from the back of the chair and donned it. He made way to the kitchen, where Aleks was seated and waiting for the time, smoking those Cuban cigarettes. Kenny sat by his side and they talked about tactics for this job until the time to leave and go to the docks.

20:30 PM, it was time. Both Kenny and Aleks got up from his chair and walked to the street where Aleks car was parked, they got in, Aleks turned the engine on and they drove to the docks. Arriving there, they sneaked past some guards on the entrance of the docks and they found themselves on the part where Charlie mentioned, a left side and a right side. Kenny nodded to Aleks and they parted ways, Aleks sneaked to the left as Kenny walked slowly to the right side with the silenced pistol on hands, he took cover on one big container and peeked, he saw two guys talking, holding some big automatic guns. He heard some noises coming from the left side, probably Aleks killing someone. Kenny did the same, with two shots, he scored a head shot on both men, who dropped dead next to each other, Kenny looked behind him and saw no one. He wanted to hide the bodies but if no one is coming from the way Kenny came, there was no need. He pulled the bodies on a corner of a container, that was good enough. He continued making his way towards the big container where the people were being held, he could see Aleks sneaking at the left side, dragging a dead man by the collar of his shirt. Kenny took cover again on the container and kept going without seeing no one. With the silenced gun in hands and ready to shoot, he peeked again and saw a man patrolling the middle way, he was holding a automatic weapon and knew that something was wrong. He was looking at the left side, where Aleks were, probably he spotted him. Kenny didn't killed him cause the middle way was sure to be Clementes eyes on, if that guy dropped people would know that something was wrong. Kenny could see Aleks standing on cover and the guy approaching him. Aleks didn't seemed to know that he had being discovered and was peeking at the container where the hostages were being held, the guard got closer to Aleks and pointed his gun, Kenny had no choice but to pop him. He aimed his silenced gun and fired three shots, hitting the guy on the back. He fell next to Aleks and they could hear people's angry screams coming from the container. Kenny signaled Aleks to hurry up and he stashed the silenced gun on his waist belt and grabbed his revolver. Kenny and Aleks rushed to the container where people were being held.

They both took cover and peeked, there was three guys covering the container. They could hear the people inside hitting the container and screaming, a guy started kicking the container and screaming for them to shut up. Kenny raised his first for Aleks to see and counted up to three. 1... 2... 3! Kenny and Aleks got out of cover and rained fire upon the guys covering the container. Aleks quickly spotted a crowbar and ran to get it as Kenny approached the big padlock that was keeping them locked in the container. Aleks approached with the crowbar in hands and placed it behind the lock and him and Kenny pulled it, breaking it. They could hear some noises of people screaming and things breaking as people left the container. He looked to the way they came and saw the truck that Charlie mentioned, rushing towards them. Kenny rallied the people to hide til the truck parked next to them. Kenny and Aleks took cover behind the container door as shots hit it. Kenny got out of cover and shot twice, scoring another two head shots with his revolver. A guy holding a Thompson started raining fire on the door where they were behind, that door couldn't take much hits, the bullets were going to carve a hole on the door and hit Kenny and Aleks, they moved a bit and took cover in the container. After some seconds they listened the guy with the Thompson screaming as he was ran over by Charlie's truck. Aleks and Kenny rushed outside of the container and screamed for the people to enter in the cargo hold of the truck, Charlie jumped off the driver's seat with his gun at the ready, shooting at some guys who were coming to help the Clementes, he rushed to the back of the truck and opened the cargo hold, people started running towards it and when everyone was inside, Kenny closed as Charlie ran back to the drivers seat. Kenny noticed Aleks getting into the passenger seat and rushed towards it as Charlie drove in reverse, Kenny jumped into the truck stairs and Aleks pulled him in.

"That shit was insane!" Kenny screamed, as he rolled down the truck windows and firing some shots at the people who were chasing them on foot. Charlie shouted that this wasn't over yet and pointed in front of them, where they saw two cars blocking the road. Charlie just ignored and kept driving as the three men got down on their seats. The people on the roadblock rained fire on the truck, breaking the window. They kept taking cover and Charlie stepped on it, running over everyone on the roadblock and pushing the cars away. They got up again and Kenny looked through the wing mirror of the truck and saw another two cars chasing them. Kenny, who was on the side of the window, grabbed Aleks automatic pistol and fired some shots against them, he didn't managed to hit anyone. Charlie was an excellent driver so he told Kenny and Aleks that he was going to drive to the Detroit Police Department, where he was friends with the captain. Kenny nodded his head as Charlie stepped on it again. After some minutes they arrived at the DTPD, it was 23PM so there wasn't many people on the town square. He parked the truck on a street corner, when the Clementes that were following them noticed that they were next to the police, they stopped chasing them. The three men jumped off the truck and Charlie told them to open the truck cargo hold. Kenny looked at the side and noticed three men wearing officer clothes approaching them, Charlie went to meet them. Kenny and Aleks opened the cargo hold as people started jumping off of it, Kenny said to them to keep calm, that the officers were there to help them. He told them to make a line on the wall that the cops would sort them out and manage to get them home. After many thanks to Aleks and Kenny, the people went to the wall and waited for them. Kenny walked towards Charlie who were talking with the officers, Kenny shook the cops hands but the cops looked at him a little funny, Kenny just ignored it. Charlie grabbed a envelope from his coat and gave it to the cops, after that they hugged and the officers went to talk with the people on the walls. Charlie seemed like good friends to these officers.

Kenny, Aleks and Charlie jumped on the truck again and drove off. Charlie gave them a ride to Aleks hideout and both men said their goodbyes to Charlie and went inside. They arrived, exhausted. Kenny and Aleks walked towards the kitchen and Aleks took a sit on the table as Kenny went for a bottle of whiskey, he sat next to Aleks and cracked the bottle up, he took a swig out of it and handed the bottle to Aleks.

"Seems like our next stop is Sicily. You ready for that?" Kenny said while lighting a cigarette, he took a long drag out of it and turned his head, looking at Aleks.

"You bet your ass I am."

"If I bet my ass you know I'll lose it. Fucking dice." Kenny and Aleks laughed. Kenny got up from the table, took a long swig out of it and walked to his room and dropped on his bed, quickly falling asleep.

Kenny woke up and decided to take a shower, he got up from the bed and rubbed his hand against his face, first he went for his nightstand, where he left a bottle of whiskey there before passing out on the bed, he took a swig out of it and closed the door to his room, he undressed and walked to the bathroom, he looked at himself in the mirror, he looked like shit; a drunk who couldn't sleep more than three hours. He blinked twice and shook his head, trying to wake up. He jumped into the shower and just stood there, feeling the cold water hitting his skin. He started thinking about the things that happened and the last days. His Don dying, his Godfather dying, his city being removed from power, the information that his brother is still alive. After Albert died Kenny had no reason to keep going but he found strength by joining his friends and working with them again. 

Kenny wondered what kind of plan they would use to infiltrate Cefala Diana and rescue Anthony and eliminate Quintu Clemente. It wasn't going to be a easy job and an assault with the Russo and Lucchese family to the hideout wasn't going to work; they probably had defenses all around the place. That Marco guy was sure lying, even if he wasn't Kenny would never believe a Clemente. The plan would be probably Kenny and Aleks going undercover or something like that. Kenny snapped out of his own mind and turned off the shower. He grabbed the towel and placed it around his waist and went to his room to get dressed.

After getting dressed, Kenny made his way to the kitchen where he found Aleks_Tomson, Michael-Lucchese and Charlie_Runkle seated on the table. Kenny joined the conversation.

"Glad to see you up Kenny." Said Charlie, reaching for his pockets. He placed three fake passports on the table. "Here is your fake passport for your flight to Sicily. I've booked it already, four seats for the four of us." Charlie grabbed his cup of tea and took a sip, Kenny looked at him and asked.

"You're coming too? Why are you helping us?"

Charlie took of his sun glasses and placed it on the table.

"Why do you think I was working undercover for the Clementes? Vice, God rest his soul, he got me the contact of your godfather, Enzio Russo. I've contacted him and he got me to work undercover for the Clementes as they never had seen my mug on Sicily. I've came with a story that I was working for the FBN and they bought it. Stupid idiots."

Kenny raised his eyebrow and grabbed a cup of coffee baptized with whiskey, he took a sip and thought of the Russo Godfather in Palermo, his grandfather Enzio. They got along well last time Kenny was in Sicily but he was sort of disappointed when Kenny said he had to return to the US. That was three years ago, he haven't got any news from Enzio since then. But for Kenny it's good to hear that Enzio is still around, he judged hi a tough old man and knew that Enzio carried the Russo name proudly.

"Gotcha. So, what's going to be the plan in Cefala Diana? Stealth again?" Kenny asked and placed his empty cup back on the table, he poured some more coffee and whiskey into it and grabbed it again, taking small sips out of it while looking at Charlie.

"That's not for me to decide. We're going to have to bring it to Enzio and he will call the shots. He has been wanting to put his hands on Quintu since ages and Quintu is the key to find Flavio Clemente, their godfather. So no pewpewing Quintu when you guys find him. He's a coward so he'll say it at the sight of Enzio's son, he's a mastermind of torture."

Kenny nodded his head.

"Understood. I just hope he doesn't suggest an assault at the hideout. That would be the end of Anthony."

"He may do that." Added Charlie as he takes a smoke out of his coat and lights it. "But we can persuade him to let you, Michael and Aleks infiltrate the place first before storming it. He mentioned that he was very fond of Anthony, so if we drop his name I'm sure he will see reason."

Kenny grabbed his fake passport and placed it on his wallet, he looked over at Aleks and Michael, they did the same.

"When we're flying?" Kenny asked.

"Tomorrow morning. So you guys wrap up any business you have around here cause we may stay in Sicily for a while."

"Gotcha." Said Kenny grabbing the car keys from the table and getting up. He quickly grabbed the bottle of whiskey and took a swig out of it. He lit a cigarette and placed it on his lips and headed towards the door. "I have something to do today so I'll meet you guys here tonight and we can pack our bags for the travel."

Kenny took a drag out of the cigarette and walked towards the exit of the house and into the garage. He wanted to check up on Robert and Eva on the hospital before going to Sicily, Robert's always been a good guy to Kenny, even if he beat his ass up with Jukera some time ago.

Kenny entered the hospital and made his way to the attendant desk, he asked for Robert and she gave him directions, Kenny passed by some balloons of get well soon and some other things. He thought of buying it; but he isn't the kind of guy who buys these sorts of things. He ignored it and kept walking until he found the room where Robert was recovering. He walked in and noticed Eva sleeping on the couch, he didn't wanted to disturbed but he needed a word with them.

Kenny walked near to Eva and snapped his fingers.

"Wake up." Kenny said, that could've come out as rude but he was too tired to notice his tone. Eva slowly opened her eyes and looked up at Kenny. She once admitted having a crush on him but she was too young for Kenny even to considerate trying something, so he always tried to look as distant as possible. "I'm glad to see you guys are doing well." He said as he reached for his coats and grabbed his wallet. He pulled out some money and a note, he placed both on a desk on the room.

"Here is some money and a number that you guys can call if you get in trouble. It's the number of Dean-Winchester, he's a good friend of mine and will keep you guys safe in case something happens."

Kenny walked towards the hospital bed where Robert was laying down.

"You're a tough old man, Robert. Take care of yourself and your daughter. Say hello to the wife for me will ya?" Kenny smiled and walked towards Eva, he gave her a quick kiss on the forehead and walked towards the door.

"I'm off. Have to pack my bags. I'm going to Sicily and I don't know when I'll be back, so if any Clementes shows up, Dean's your man."

He waved at Robert and sent Eva a wink, after that he exited the room and walked towards the exit of the hospital, leaving the place and getting to his car to drive home and pack his bags.

Kenny arrived home and walked towards his room to pack his bags. He had no idea on what to bring with him to Sicily, so he grabbed a big bag, threw it on the bed and opened it. He walked towards his wardrobe, it was a mess. He never tidied that thing up, his clothes were all smelling like a cigarette factory and you could see some wine stains on some white shirts. He laughed at how much of a pig he is as he started pulling down the best clothes he has and throwing it on the bed.

"Shirts.. Check. Jeans, check. Underwear, check. Mind note: Buy more of those. Toothbrush, check. Hmm. Well, that's enough!" Said Kenny, satisfied with the job done. He stuffed all those things into the bag and closed it with difficulty, almost breaking the zipper of the bag. He grabbed it by the handle and carried it to the trunk of his car. On the way there he grabbed Aleks bags too, to place them next to his on the trunk. After doing that he returned to the house and shared some drinks with Aleks before going to bed and sleep until the sunrise so they could drive to the airport.

Waking up in the morning was a struggle for Kenny since he was anxious and couldn't stop thinking about Anthony. At least he would be able to fall asleep on the plane, but some cup of coffees should do the trick, Aleks was already up and Kenny could smell the scent of coffee coming from the kitchen. He could never understand how Aleks wakes up early in the morning and in a good mood. Kenny got up from his bed and walked towards the kitchen, he poured some coffee on his cup and sat on the table near the ashtray, he lit a cigarette and just chilled there while talking to Aleks.

"How the Italians girls are?" Aleks asked while lighting one of his Cuban cigars.

"Erm. Not a clue, honestly. Last time I was there I wasn't interested in meeting girls or getting laid, was pretty busy getting shot at." Kenny jokingly made a angry face while looking at Aleks, he took a sip out of his coffee then added. "I doubt you'll have time to meet someone there but if you do, try and have fun. Chances are that we end up dead on this job so might as well enjoy while you can."

Aleks almost slapped Kenny across the face like a little bitch. He sat on the table and looked down at Kenny.

"Where is the confidence? We can do it. We'll rescue Anthony, get rid of this Quintu dude and come back to the US without even getting our asses shot."

Kenny scratched his beard and took a drag out of his cigarette.

"Confidence in times like this is hard to find." Kenny expelled the smoke of the cigarette out of his lungs and took a sip out of his coffee. "It's war, Aleks. You've never been in a war like this, neither did I. It's okay to be a little worried. We may be in over our heads but it's something I must do. I appreciate you coming with me though, you and Michael. By the way, where is Michael?"

Aleks shrugged.

"No idea. He's been spending a lot of time with Charlie, they must be together doing some quick job right now."

"Well, they better not be late. Charlie is holding the plane ticket so if they don't make it in time we're pretty much fucked and stuck in the US while Anthony is being tortured somewhere. Shit." Kenny tries to shake off this weird thing he is feeling. Isn't nothing; he's just nervous about meeting the Russo family again. They got along well last time, but some of them look at Kenny with disgust, some say he left the home country, fled the war, to live the American dream. It wasn't like that for Kenny. He was doing God's work on America by removing the Clemente family from there and weakening their operation.

"It's almost time, you ready?" Aleks nodded his head and they got up from their chairs and walked towards the car then drove to the airport.

Kenny and Aleks arrived at the parking lot of the airport and got of their car, they walked around a bit and found Charlie and Michael standing there, waiting for them. Kenny shook both of their hands as the four men walked together towards the airport. The plane had already arrived but they decided to stay a bit more in the airport to talk. Charlie walked in front of the three men and started talking.

"So, I can't smuggle anything in the plane so if you guys brought guns I recommend you ditch it somewhere. Don't worry, once we arrive in Palermo our allies will arm us."

Kenny raised his eyebrow.

"No weapons."

"Good. So let's get into the plane."

They grabbed their bags and walked towards the gate, they delivered their tickets as some men went through their stuff to check for something illegal. They grabbed Aleks Cuban cigars, saying that was contraband, Aleks almost snapped and killed the guard but Kenny managed to calm him down. He invented a story about Italian cigars and how they're good but they taste like shit. Aleks will kill Kenny when he tastes it.

They were allowed past the gates and made their way to the plane. They entered and took their seats, Kenny placed his bag on his foot, Aleks did the same. Kenny looked outside of the window for a few seconds and closed his eyes, trying to sleep. It was easy, he was tired so he slept before the plane took off.
