Piero woke up the next morning after his drinking escapade with a huge hangover and a mission. He was bound and determined to make that old man pay for taking Tony's life. "No one fucks with my gang and lives to tell the tale... NO ONE!" he said to himself. First things first, I gotta clear my head. He started taking care of some of his usual morning crimes while his head cleared up, snatching purses from old ladies doesn't take a lot of effort and thought. Especially now that he had a gun to show to encourage cooperation. 

As the day progressed and his headache cleared off he started to turn his attention to more profitable crimes, and start formulating a plan to send the old man to an early grave. Having a gun helped, but not having bullets for it kind of limited his option a bit if things got rough. He needed to locate another gun shop and purchase or steal some ammunition, picking a fight with that old man without a loaded gun seemed like a foolish mission at best. There was also the thought of including his little street gang in the mission. Should he bring them with or handle this himself? "No, definitely not. I already lost 1, don't want to lose another" Piero mumbled to himself. He'd handle this one alone and then call his gang together to share the bad news with them and how it had been handled. Did he include Jezebel- in this? She had offered her assistance if he needed it, but should he take her up on the offer or handle his own business without her? This one was a tougher question, as a member of a mafioso family she undoubtedly had experience with killing, that was definitely something he could use at this point. That and someone who knew how to aim a gun. Since this was his first gun, and he didn't have practice taking a long distance shot and hitting probably wasn't an option for him.

Piero settles on giving Jezebel- a call and asking her for some lessons in the shooting range. First stop though, pick up some ammunition. He heads off to find a gun store not in the area of his previous heist where he can procure some ammunition. After walking for a little while he comes upon a gun shop and enters within to purchase some ammunition. He produces the gun he stole the day before and queries the shop owner about ammunition for the it. He has some casual banter with the shop owner while the man gets the bullets down from the shelf. After which he pays for the ammunition and leaves the store. Looking around he finds a payphone and calls Jezebel- to see if she is available for training.

While I'm standing there looking out the window I suddenly hear the phone ringing.. I walk over and carefully pick it up waiting to hear if i recognize the voice on the other end.

"Hello?" I said quietly.

I listen in waiting to hear the other voice on the other end. "Jez you there?". I paused for a moment and then realized that it's Piero.

"Piero! how you doing after last night my friend?, I assume you need some help with something?"

I stand there waiting for a reply from Piero.

Piero answers, "I am fine now, I worked off the hangover this morning. I've cleared my head now and acquired some ammunition for the gun I got yesterday. I was hoping you would be willing to give me some lessons in using the gun."

Piero waits for Jezebel-'s response hoping she has time to help him out.

I hear Piero say that he wants some lessons in becoming a marksmen, this I could do no problem since I've had many years of training from some of the great people in this line of work.

"Of course I will help you in anyway! how about we meet up in a an hour and we will meet at vacant spot out behind an old warehouse i have, I'll set up some targets there. How does that sound?"

I start to get some things ready while on the phone gathering my dufflebag and an assortment of guns.

Piero confirms his willingness to meet with Jezebel- at the designated spot. After hanging up the phone he hails a taxi and gives the driver the address. Piero wasn't sure how long the trip would take so he figure'd better to head over right away then be late. Turns out it was a 20 minute trip, so he had roughly 40 minutes to kill while waiting for Jezebel- to arrive. He decides to spend the time inspecting his gun closely and seeing if he could figure out how to load it and fire it successfully. It didn't look that hard, the hard part was making sure he didn't shoot off any of his body parts. That might be a bit strange trying to explain that one off to Jezebel- or the police.

I show up at the meeting place, I see Piero looking at his gun trying to figure out how to load it etc.

I walk over to Piero, take the gun from his hands and look at him with a serious look on my face.

"The first thing you must know it's how to clean your gun and assemble it quickly."

I take the gun apart slowly and show him which piece is what. I then clean it showing him the proper way.

I hand him the gun and tell him to assembly it the best to his abilities.

Piero tries to put it back together the best he can, but can't remember the exact order correct on the first try. He askes Jezebel- to show him how to do it again and after watching more closely the second time manages to put it back together on his own. Next he tries taking it apart on his own and then cleaning it like Jezebel- did and put it all back together. Having done this he felt fairly confident in his ability to take care of the gun on his own, but still needed to know how to load and shoot it. He pulled some ammo out of his pocket and handed the gun and ammo over to Jezebel-. "Would you please show me how to load it now?" he asks her.

Looking at Piero as he hands me the ammo and gun to be shown how to load it.
Without hesitation, i grab the bullets, release the clip and start loading the bullets in one by one making sure he can see what I'm doing.

I place the clip back in, while looking at Piero I cock the gun and aim at a target, Making Piero take notes of how I'm holding the pistol.

"Remember while you have the gun in your hands you never have your finger on the trigger until you're ready to shoot."

I take a shot at the target at Pew! bulls eye. I turn the safety on and hand it to Piero.

Piero aims at the target and tries to pull the trigger. It won't budge! It takes him a few seconds to realize he hasn't clicked the safety off like Jezebel- showed him. He unlocks the safety and takes aim at the target again, he pulls the trigger and watches as his shot barely hits the side of the target. He looks back at Jezebel- wondering what he did wrong.

"Try again look at where you want to shoot, picture it being your worse enemy."

I grab the gun from Piero aim it at the target again and I take a deep breath. Pew! bulls eye again.

Handing it back to Piero I look at him and say "Be calm"

Piero takes a deep breath and then pictures the old man where the target is at. He pulls the trigger and hits the target dead center. He pulls the trigger 3 more times letting off some of his anger at the old man who took his friends life, all 3 shots land on the target but not dead center. Piero obviously needs more practice with a gun for consistency. Piero thanks Jezebel- for the starter lessons.

Proud at what Piero accomplished so far in just this quick little session, Knowing that he will be prepared for the revenge that I know he wants.

"So what else shall we do? is there anything else you would like to learn"

Standing there while looking at him waiting for a reply.

Piero thinks for a few minutes before responding. "What are the differences between gun types?" he asks Jezebel-, wondering if she might have brought some guns with her for him to look at and try.

I walk to the car and grab my Browning automatic rifle then walk back to Piero with a grin on my face.

"Well here's something you might like, this gun here is able to zip through car doors, bullet proof vests, walls and medium sized trees, this was a fearsome weapon used by the most serious of criminals."

I set it up lining it at the targets and tell him to have some fun with it.

Piero steps up to the Browning automatic rifle and pulls the trigger. He lets go after a second feeling his hands vibrating from the rounds he fired off. Piero decides he likes the thought of an automatic gun, but the recoil is hard to control making the gun less efficient. Piero decides he likes his pistol better, but the rifle could have it's uses in some situations. Piero grins at Jezebel- and thanks her for letting him play with the rifle.

"Fun isn't it, it does take some time getting use to it. but im thinking in any other situations that I could always tag along and help you out"

As I stand there with the browning over my one shoulder I light a cigarette with my other hand, staring at Piero, wondering that plans he has i can see his mind going a mile a min.

Piero never was a good liar, and the way Jezebel- was staring at him, he was pretty sure she had guessed his plans already, so with a slight shrug of his shoulders he decided to let her in on his plans.  "That old man. The one who killed Tony, his time is up today." He looked Jezebel- straight in the eyes while saying this, and you could see the fire and hatred he had for that old man. It was pretty obvious nothing short of Piero loosing his life would change his mind.

While looking at Piero I raised my eyebrow, and smirked at him.

"Well love do you have everything planned out, you know I have your back if you need any help what so ever!"

Taking another drag of my cigarette, I then threw it to the ground and stepped on it quickly with the tip of my high heel.

"Don't get too worked up about it, we don't need you to lose your shit and lose your life in the process."

Piero nods towards Jezebel-'s car and then slides into the passenger seat. Once she gets in the driver side Piero begins detailing his plan of attack. He tells her where the shop is located in town so she can start driving while he talks. Piero tells Jezebel- they will wait till it's dark and then break into his shop again, the old man lives upstairs and runs the shop during the day. So all they have to do is wait till hes asleep, break into the place quietly slip up the stairs and murder him in his sleep. Should be a fairly simple mission, or so he hoped.

As they approach the gun shop Piero indicates a good place near by to park the car so they can have dinner and wait for night to approach.

Sitting there in the diner across the street just waiting for night fall, sipping on my cup of coffee.

"So finally this is going to happen, you must be relieved?"

I look at Piero as he just keeps watching the place waiting for all the lights to turn off.
