A missing piece... The other half - A Mafia Brothers Story

Chapter 29 - Mr Rossi...

After her discussion with her father, Suki thought a lot about it. Salvatore said that they were not dangerous for innocent people, but it implied that they were still dangerous people. With one look at them, it was clear for anyone that they were not men to go against to, but with what he said, it was another level... but also very logical with the way they were living and all that security.

Salvatore left Suki alone once again for few minutes to have a call in his office. It was almost dinner time, but the house was quiet. The little girl took her phone and searched in internet if news about what happened were released but she couldn't find anything.

New-York was a big city with a lot of things happening but how the death of several persons in an under-construction building could not be mentioned? She was taken back from her thoughts by someone in her back taking her phone from her. She turned herself and found Gianni standing there, behind the couch.

Suki: Gianni... you startled me...

Gianni: Scary kitten was so focused that she didn't hear me coming...

Gianni checked on what his little sister was looking at with so much attention without thinking that she had right to privacy. She stood up, embarrassed.

Suki: It's nothing...

Gianni: Why are you doing such researches online? (His tone changed.) Who put this shit in your head? Tell me, with who did you talk?

Suki was surprised by Gianni's serious tone. She stepped back instinctively, and he frowned, noticing that his behavior was scary.

Suki: Father...

Gianni: Dad? (She nodded and he sighed.) What's wrong with that old man? He refused to let you learn how to defend yourself and he is now openly saying that we are a Mafia family?! (Suki stayed silent.) Stop freaking out, I won't do anything to you... and don't read shit like that on your phone! (He gave her back her phone.) Now you know our family's business... but it won't change anything for you... so don't react like you did just because I spoke a bit louder!

Gianni came to sit in the opposite couch, but Suki remained standing.

Suki: You seemed angry... and scary... sorry...

Gianni: (He looked at her.) First, sit down. (She sat.) You are scared of me since the beginning, but you must have noticed now, that I am not a threat for you... so don't be startled for everything!

Suki: I try...

Gianni: Hum... don't try, just do it! And your arm? Is it painful?

Suki: Just a little... thanks to the medicine, I guess... (She shyly smiled.)

Gianni: If you don't do something stupid and rest correctly, you will recover quickly.

Suki: I rest all day... Father was there, and he didn't let me do anything. He is pretty strict about that.

Gianni: Dad feels guilty that you were hurt so if you don't want to worry him more, do the necessary to recover asap!

Suki: Gianni... (He looked at her, waiting for her question.)... did you have a lot of injuries because of the martials arts? 

Gianni: Not only while fighting, but I'm a man, not a fragile little girl, so you and me, we can't compare to each others... but with a good reeducation, you will not have sequels, if it's what worries you.
