With bullets flying through the air all around her, Addie ducked behind a car for some cover.  Turning around to lean her back against the cool metal she took a moment to catch her breath.   Her bright, engraved, mirror nickel-plated Colt 1903 was held close with the muzzle sticking straight up as she let her head fall back.   Addie had been in a few gun fights in her lifetime, under the rule of Benito Mussolini.  Nearly every Sicilian had at one point or another regardless if they had been a part of Cosa Nostra or not.  However this was different.  The fighting was so intense.

She had barely let her feet hit the ground here in Vegas when all hell broke out.  Of course being a lowly soldato she knew very little of what was going on save what her assignment had been.  She was to protect a member of the Las Vegas upper structure and now that she had completed that mission she was simply trying to survive until her next assignment came in.  At least she had her crewmates near to her.  Looking around she could see Tegs and Billy.  Her cousin was stepping up and helping organize in the war effort by handing out various assignments.  She had seen him send Roar off somewhere.  Probably away from the fight given her condition.  Boy she bet Roar was hot about that.  She would give Billy an earful later she imagined.  

As she took a moment to re-loaded her gun she was joined by SilvioViolante.  Even in the middle of a war, his arrival brought a smile to her face. 

Questa non era l'avventura che avevo in mente l'altra sera quando stavamo guardando fuori città.

She laughed. 

Tutte wer so glad overAddies help as a protecter, she did well as many other protecter did so all the shooters to end the frikking war that all was so tired of and they all tried to take out the horrible threat that this time occured in the MR-world, superbly well done and we were many who were so glad over so much help all that could did to us trying to take out all threats in our little world here.

He took a break and wlks out and fires up a smoke and stands there in silence and smokes for a while. He was both tired and totally exhausted after this mission freeing the world from those terrorists appeared in here. He finish of his soke and walks out again in the streets tto see what he do next, he nods towards Addie-Moretti and thanks once more for a great job done.

Silvio was well on his way to running for his life when he spotted Addie behind a car. Cursing to himself, he ducked low and ran over.

"I would have said that any adventure with you would have been a good one, Addie. But this is not good. Come! Let us get out of here, no?"

Grimacing, Silvio noticed a small dog out of the corner of his eye smoking a cigarette. Mio dio, the stress must be forcing Silvio to hallucinate.

"Yes? We go!"

She nodded to Silvio, "Let's get out of here."

She shifted her weight forward onto the balls of her feet and peeked around the car.  When the ringing of shots seem to lessen she made her move hoping for the best.  Surging forward she ran with all her might for the next form of cover.  She had only gotten a half dozen strides in when her right calf exploded in searing pain and heat.  With her momentum and the force of the bullet impacting her leg; she felt her body spun around before her back slammed into the pavement.  She screamed out in pain and immediately reached for where the pain was coming from.  It was the most intense pain she had ever felt and for a moment she forget everything else that was happening around her.

Silvio nodded to phoenicia, a face he recognized from the HQ, as she prepared to run with them as well. They ran together, darting towards better cover in one of the alleyways nearby. Silvio moved faster, leading the way, until he heard Addie scream out in pain. He hesitated for a moment, battling his instinct for self preservation, before returning to her and lifting her on his shoulder, cursing the entire way. He tried to stay as low as he could, but he was tired by the time they'd safely reached the alley. He kept moving towards safety as he queried Addie.

"Addie- where were you hit?"

He waited, hoping for a loud reply that would suggest she would live. 

The war is sure over now my friends, its time to lick our wounds and be happy for a while and take care of our dearest and have fun with each other til the next war comes in but think it takes a while til the next one comes up aso we can really enjoy each others company in a good manner from now on.

Iys always best to really share love around to all and also give the nearst the best luck in whatever they are doing in this world.

Tutte were hapy over seeing such good members in Las Vegas and got a tear in his eye over this.

Silvio was relieved to hear Addie shout about her leg. In this scenario, shouting was a good thing, since it meant she wasn't hurt too bad. As Addie yelled to put her down, Silvio ignored her. There was no way that help would arrive in time; leaving Addie behind would be almost certain death. Breathing heavily, Silvio reached into his pocket and removed a small, very shiny silver plated gun. He walked out into the road still carrying Addie as Phoenicia trailed behind them. Moving against the flow of traffic, he suddenly lurched out into the road as he pointed his gun at a little old lady driving a Ford. 

The lady froze, not hitting the gas, and Silvio used the gun to threaten her to get out. She seemed stunned and quickly ran away. Grunting, he lowered Addie into the backseat and indicated that Phoenicia should climb in with her. He slid behind the drivers seat and hit the gas once everyone was inside. As he drove, he undid his belt and tossed it back.

"Phoenicia, tie that off above the wound. Make a tourniquet, yes? Is there much blood?"

Not the first time he'd taken off his belt while driving, but definitely the least fun.
 

Silvio's mind was racing only slightly faster than the car; after considering his options and quickly checking with Addie, he decided to get her to the hospital. She hadn't been here long, so Addie wouldn't have a criminal record. It was a quick drive to the hospital, and Silvio could only watch as the staff of the hospital wheeled her inside. He started to follow after them... before realizing that he shouldn't leave a stolen car behind.

"Phoenicia, go with her? Addie, I will find you later-after!"

When Addie's eyes opened, she first noticed the pain from her wound. Once she'd grimaced and grown accustomed to that, she heard the snoring. Glancing over to the side of her bed, she saw that Silvio was asleep in the chair by the corner. The morning had just begun, but the hospital was still quiet in the dawn hour.

Silvio, seemingly content, continued to snore.

Silvio snorted slightly, seemingly at peace. 

As he walked through the halls of his mansion, he realized that he must be in a dream. The curtains rustled as the fabric moved in the breeze. Outside the mansion it was raining; he could hear the water falling through the open window.

Tutte came in and was very sad to Addie injured in a fight outside before so he went in and were glad that all seems to be ok whith no bigger injured caused. He asks AddieMoretti what the heck happened out there. What he had heard it was very dangerous and the rmour was that you had passed on but I can see now that that damn gossip was false and not true at all.

he was glad to see that all things seems to be as it should and also gives an advice to next time make sure to have better security around so will such think not happen again.

He wlaks out in the night again to go for sleep in a motell soon, he was way over bedtime but this stop was truly important for him to see so nothing bad happened to a Vegas-citizen, in here we take care of each other in all weather.
