It was sometime past midnight and Salvadore was still working in his office. Don Mattsr wanted some last minute paperwork on his desk by the morning which meant he had to work throughout the night. Armed with a cup of coffee and a bottle of whiskey by his side to help him sleep later he was good to go. An hour goes by and he's finding that his eyelids are getting closer and closer and staying together for a fraction of a second too long when he decides to take a break. He stood up and went over to the leather couch on the other side of his office. He took a swig of his bottle, grabbed the pillow and lied down. The moment his eyes closed and Sal was about to doze off, Lucius his head of security burst into his office.

"Boss, you have to get up. Someone's here to see you" 

Still half asleep and not knowing what the hell was going on, he slowwwlyyy swung his legs around, took a deep breath and stood up.

"Who is it?"

"We'd rather you saw for yourself boss?" 

Lucius went down the hallway and behind him was someone he wasn't expecting to see. Especially this time of the night. It was now gone two o'clock. The gentleman stepped in to Salvadore's office wearing a rather long trench coat. Sat down on the the chair and proceeded to place his shoes on the desk. He looked around the office and glared at all the decorations. He reached into his inside pocket when Lucius raised his gun and pointed directly at the man.

"Reeelaxxx, i'm only getting a cigarette. Geez, get your mutt out of here Sal."

Sal, still in disbelief waved his right hand in a downward motion and the tension in the room relaxed as Lucius put his gun back in to his holster and stood guard by the door.

"Thanks Lucius." Sal says as he too reaches for a cigarette in his back pocket and sits down.

"So.. what brings you here eh. I mean now of all times. It's been what 20 fucking years and you show up now? 2 o'clock in the bleeding morning I mean how the fuck you even know I was going to be here" 

"I just knew" The man says laughing as he takes another drag of his cigarette

"Listen, I don't have a lot of time. What is it that you want? I mean clearly it's not a courtesy call" 

"Well, as your big brother I thought I'd come and tell you about Sofia" 

Sal's eyes had grown to the size of mini golf-balls. 

"Fuckk outta here. Sofia's supposed to be dead. She died a long with cousin Isabella in the courtyard"

"I wouldn't have travelled all the way down here to tell you some bullshit news. But that's not it" 

"Well firstly, i'm in total disbelief and won't believe a fucking word from you. So, you can leave now. Lucius, prepare a car for him please and give him some cash so he has somewhere to stay for the next few days. I don't wanna see him again. Is that clear?" 

"Yes boss" With that Lucius walked towards Salvadore's brother and grabbed him by his arm and dragged him towards the door.

"Salvadorè Ricci Romano you will listen to me. She's outside now, please. Just look" 

And right on cue, there was a knock at the door. One of the other bodyguards already present at the door opened it and let her in. It was almost as if an Angel had blessed this woman in his presence. Her beautiful face and features resembled a creation that can convert an Athiest to believe in god. Her figure was as curvaceous as the women in his dreams. She was as beautiful if not more as the last time he saw her. Her smile had the ability to melt his heart all over again. And holding her hand was a young handsome man. About the same height, with the same eyes but didn't quite have the same nose. 

"This is Sofia. And this is your son"

"Hi Father" His son said smiling. That smile had the same effect on him and almost melted his heart.  

Salvadore, looked around the room. And what was supposed to be a simple night in the office. Had taken a turn that even movies can't script. His head began to spin and his legs could no longer carry the weight of his upper body when he fell back, hitting his head on the window ledge. By the time he opened his eyes he was back on his sofa. He jumped up and called for Lucius.

"Where's Sofia? Where's my brother? Are they in the guest house?"

"Sorry boss, but who?"

"My wife goddammit. My Son. My brother? Where. The Fuck. Are they."

Lucius noticed the bottle by his boss's side and mentally added one and one together.

"I think you should lie down boss. Nobody's been here all night. It might have all been a bad dream"

A bad dream Salvadore asked himself. Why would it be so cruel to bring back such horrible memories.
