January 19, 2006

Buffy Bandicetti sat in her beautifully adorned room it had a rust golden/tan and tinted, there was no way in or out there was a bathroom to the right of the bed, window to the left made of unbreakable glass. All off her clothes were in the room, she walked over to the curtains she opened them she was in her fathers mansion in the top of the mansion, she looked down into the garden, it was beautiful… only if it hadn't been her prison, her room was in another security space but she could see out but no one could see in, she knew the glass was unbreakable, she laughed because she tried, and sound proof, this was her punishment. Just then there was a knock on the door. She knew it was Anya the chamber maid

she said "come in Anya"

she did "hello Buffy how are you today"

she said "lonely"

she said "sorry" Buffy sat on the bed

Anya said "I have time we… can talk"

Buffy said "I would like that… it gets lonely up here"

Anya said "next to her, so tell me what did you do to get here"

Buffy said "it's a long story"

she said "I have time your father is out won't be back until morning… so tell"

Buffy smiled "I guess I should start at the beginning…."

Mary 20, 2003

Buffy Bandicetti was born January 21 1981, to Jocelyn and Hank Bandicetti, her mother Jocelyn was killed February 20th 2001, by the family enemy the Irish Mob leader Franklin Johnson, ever sense that day her father had a death warrant out for the hole family. Buffy wasn't surprised that her mother was killed, Jocelyn Bandicetti was after all the beautiful Wife of the most powerful mob boss not only in the West Coast, But the United States. Hank Bandicetti father had been the most powerful boss in Chicago- in control of every racket in Indianapolis, Fort Wayne and South Bend, Ethan R Bandicetti arrived in Chicago in the first years of the 20th century from Venice, Italy he had started out fair and legitimate- he had seen to many good men die at home from the Mafia Vendettas, But it had, for Ethan, a proud man, to pay protection money to the boss in Little Italy at the time. Then the new player came over from Ireland Richard Johansson that had been trying to move in on their turf, Named after his successor, of course Primo was not powerful overnight, by the time his son Rupert Giles was learning the Family business, he was boss of the Indianapolis gambling and prostitution rackets, It was down to the ruthless, unmerciful Rupert to consolidate the Bandicetti Family's power in the city and he did so with an iron fist. Some old women would claim that their streets were never safer than when 'Ripper' looked after them, but others knew different. Many young men were found dead in various creative ways through idiocy, a wrong move, a big mouth, or simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time. 'Ripper' Giles's reign lasted forty years. By this time his sons Hank and Ethan were young adults, the Family's interests had expanded to several of the largest casinos in Las Vegas and Reno, unions, prostitution, other forms of gambling, extortion and political power, and Drug Cartel ('Ripper' Giles was 'personal friends' with at least three senators, a Governor, judges in Chicago, New York, Miami, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Reno and Boston). He installed his eldest son Hank in the Los Angeles office of their legitimate business- Jennifer Olive Oil, named after Ethan R Bandicetti's sister. But of course, Hank- or Han, as he called himself in order to appear more legitimate- was in truth in charge of the West Coast operations of the Family. When Giles died, Hank became the most powerful man in America- regardless of what the President thought he was the boss of

Such power warrants attention, of course. Hank himself had never even been arrested, thanks to his father's advice and protection, but the FBI knew the family well. But as it always goes, they could never prove anything. The FBI knew that Anthony owned six of the hotels and casinos on the Strip in Las Vegas; they knew that Anthony had interests in the narcotics business. Proving it was a different matter, and they had never managed to even piece together enough information to get a warrant to search his home.

Jocelyn's death in 2001 had made the front pages of many newspapers, which wisely called her "Society Hostess" rather than "Mob Wife". But what wasn't reported was that Dawn and Cindy were first to arrive home after the murder Stuck. Nobody had ever discovered who exactly killed Jocelyn, but Cindy swore it was the Uncle Ethan. She would never quite forget the look on her mother's face as she slipped from this world to the next. In fact, for the last two years, it had been the source of every nightmare she'd ever had. She was now twenty 22 years old, but that moment, had shaped her entire life.

There was only one small flaw in Cindy's reasoning. Ethan had loved Jocelyn, he really had. From the moment he had first seen her at her father's house in Italy, he had loved her. Jocelyn Crolini had been a beautiful young girl of seventeen when he met her, all big blue eyes in golden olive skin, framed with thick honey blonde hair, unusual in Venice and Southern Italy. When Hank swept her up had been teased about it too- they said he had been hit by "The Thunderbolt". He also really had loved that girl. He too recalled the moment he found her. She was lying, her legs twisted, the thick carpet covered in her blood. He recalled the complete horror when he saw 20 year old Cindy sitting there, 14 year old Dawnie in his arms, looking at her mother. Then, with a heavy heart, he recalled the look of betrayal and hate on his Daughter's face as the young woman looked deeply angered into an unseen evil. Hank had never truly admitted it to anyone, not even himself, but he knew that Cindy blamed her Uncle Ethan for Jocelyn's death.

A few years- two of them- had passed now, yet emotions were often still raw. Just a years ago, just after turning 21, Cindy ran away and a week later was found brutally murdered only a mile away from the house in the ditch, Elizabeth was Cindy's twin sister was 22 now, but lived in the family house even now. Hank knew that it was so she could watch over Dawn, and it warmed his heart that Elizabeth cared so much for her sister. Then, of course, his heart froze when he realized who Elizabeth thought she was protecting her from the family business.

Elizabeth 'Buffy' was now Hank and Jocelyn's oldest daughter and flirt with the men, Buffy was in line to take over after her Father because he only had daughter and he knew she would make him very proud, as the first woman Mob leader someday, over the past two years, it was of little horror and fear that She had become so much like him and his Father Rupert, it had been shocking because she had been such a sweet girl, always the one to bring Dawn home from school with her all there lives, covering for business, no father ha a favorite child but She was close to it, she had always been willing to help but after her mother died and Cindy she had become hard cold and dangerous, and she had a awful temper, dawn even thought she loved her was always fearful of her, she had seen her anger to many time even when she tried to cover it but she would never hurt Dawn. she knew the business like the back of her hand, she was also trained in Martial arts and her body was a deadly weapon, she was a mater in weapons and if you didn't know any better she was the most deadly assassin you could find. And that made her an asset to the family. and she was under constant protection when she wasn't on the job. She relished in the family business, and Dawn avoided her were she could.

Her father loved her but he was not to favor a beating to her needed, that also made her hard at the core and she did nothing to get one except to protect her sister from her own, but she was allowed her freedom, but under heavy security detail followed behind. Mostly for fear she would be shot or kidnapped… more shot because no one could get that close, she was chauffeured to school her whole college life at Havard U.

But when it came down to business, she worked with her, Her best and closet friend Willow Loyola who also was a family friend, was 22 and a computer wiz and the best hacker that side of the globe, if you need anything done dealing with security and electic's she was your girl, her and Buffy had gotten into a fight with her a year before were they bame to blows they were evenly matched and both came out of it messes up just as equally hurt and agreed to never fight again.

Her brother Alessandro Lavelle Loyal that was only 9 months older 22 he was great with guns bombs and grand aids, but it was rather surprising because he was a ditz but she liked him and he was smitten with her he tried to touh her but once and she broke his hand he never did it again.

Faith Corlion who was 22 a family friend, she was a thief drunk and did drugs, they had been friends sense high school some time there wires would crossed they got into a serious fight there senior year were Buffy kicked her ass so bad she was in a coma for 8 months she awoke they became friends again and she never crossed Buffy again, her boyfriend Robin who was 28, African American was close with them had been sense they were kids and His brother Charles Gunn was a 22 street wise, and then they became friends and he worked with them, he was good with Martial arts as well. when there mother who was close friend with Jocelyn's was killed a week after with his sister to the German mafia he jumped in to the mob out for vengeance knowing if he killed enough he would soon get his mother and sisters

Buffy had kicked his ass right and proper, when he got into a fight with her boyfriend William Vitelli… well not really, they had a lusty relationship, and he was her partner in crime she was his Bonny and was her Clyde, William was the best cheat in any casino game you could think of, and with Buffy's help they had scored over 400 million in the 2 years they had been together. He never tried her except once and she kicked his ass for it as well his eye has swollen up and his face was knotted for a week because he had contradicted her he never did it again.

The Bandicetti compound in the hills above Beverly hill was so large that, if one so desired, you need not see another soul for some time. Unfortunately, whenever Buffy wanted to be alone, usually someone wanted to see her. She had grown accustomed to Hank's men watching her and Dawn from a usually discreet distance, but often her father would send someone looking for her and she would have to come running. The house itself was beautiful, designed like an old Roman palazzo, full of tall white columns and beautiful plants from exotic locales. It was well known to Buffy that her mother had designed the house, and it comforted her a little to know that her mother had such exquisite taste. Buffy's own room overlooked the landscaped rose garden and had it's own walk in closet and en-suite bathroom. She had her own phone line, but knew it, like every other line in the house, was likely tapped by the FBI. It wasn't enough that she was kept in her gilded cage by her family, but she was tracked inside it by outside forces as well.
