Chapter One: The cathouse.
The bloodbath between the Chinese and the Italians is over. Don Carlo Falcone is dead, and is succeeded by Eddie Scarpa. Joe Barbaro is assumed to be dead since he was not part of the deal Vito, Leo and Mr. Chu agreed on. As Vito was in the car with Leo Galante and A Vinci made man Pepe, he was almost with tears. he felt like he follows the footsteps of his "deadbeat" father, his mother passed away, his sister lives happily with her husband and she hates him, and most importantly, he felt like he betrayed his best friend that helped him when he needed it most.
"Are you ok Vito?" Leo asked
"I feel like shit, just fucking shit"
"look Vito, It must have been hard to lose a friend like Joe, I definitely wouldn't like that if it was me and Frank, but he had to pay the price, and you too. consider yourself lucky..."
"You just had to kill me together with Joe..."
"I know what this is like. lets just enjoy the cathouse for now once we will get there..." Leo said again trying to cheer Vito up
Vito was still angry and upset. all he wanted to do was to go to his apartment, formerly Marty's apartment, and go to sleep, and maybe not wake up.
"Just stop the damn car, now!" Vito said taking out his anger.
The car stopped near "Vangel's" clothing store, Vito started walking home from there. as he approached to his apartment, a black car was coming fast towards him. he quickly got behing a parking car and duck his head. A mobster pulled his head out of the window, and said
"Eddie Scarpa sends his regards!" and fired towards Vito with his Tommy Gun.
"Shit.. that was close," Vito said to himself, "Eddie? he managed to take over the Falcone Family so soon? it was just an hour ago when Falcone was killed, by me".
Vito realized Marty's place isn't gonna help him anymore, and Joe is dead. He figured out he could use Joe's apartment for a while, just until he will be able to get enough cash for an apartment of his own. He went to the garage, got into his Jefferson provincial and ignited the car, and drove off to Joe's apartment. He entered his car to the garage, and entered the apartment. He saw Joe's car parking at Joe's garage. at first he was surprised, because he assumed Joe drove to the planetarium with his own car, but then he convinced himself that Joe probably took a cab, or that he had another car. when Vito entered the apartment, the first thing he did was taking his clothes off, and entering the shower, after this long and frustrating day. when he got out... he was surprised. Someone entered the apartment, and aimed his gun at Vito, someone he never thought he'd see again.
