Luca, Oscar, and Angie were having no luck at finding Lenny. They tried calling his name, and tried calling him on his cell phone, but that just got them nowhere.
"We're never going to find Lenny."Oscar said doubtfully.
"Don't say that Oscar. I'm pretty sure he'll turn up soon."Angie said, trying to comfort him."At least I hope he does."She thought to herself.
"Any luck Luca?"Oscar asked.
"No. But I'm not going back to boss until we find some trace of Lenny. He means a lot to boss."Luca replied.
He continued to look for Lenny, but he was starting to give up when he looked up and saw something shimmering in the moonlight. He swam over to it and saw that it was some sort of dart.
"Hey guys! I think I might of found something!"
Oscar and Angie quickly swam over to investigate.
"What is it?" Oscar asked.
"I don't know, but I bet it has something to do Lenny's disappearance."Luca said.
"It looks to me like it's a tranquilizer dart."Angie said.
"A what?"Luca asked.
"A tranquilizer dart. It's used to make people unconscious."
"Somebody must of kidnapped Lenny. That must be the reason for this tranquilizer dart."Oscar said.
"Could be."Angie said.
"Boss isn't gonna like this."
Oscar went to try and find anything else that might be a clue as to what happened to his best friend. And it wasn't long before he found something.
"Hey guys look! Its Lenny's belt!"Oscar said.
"What's it doing out here?"Luca asked.
"Beats me."
" So it looks like whoever took him might of cut off his belt or he was dragged away."Angie said.
"Yeah… but by who?"
Luca thought for a moment and thought about the night that he saw Vincent's gang spying on Lino.
"It could have been boss' old rival, Don Vincent."
"Who?"Oscar and Angie asked.
"A guy who hates boss. We had a war that was a long time ago, and we killed over half of Vincent's mob."Luca explained.
"Oh."
"Well then he's gotta have some reason for taking Lenny."Angie said. Even though it's probably a bad reason."
"Well its official. Lenny's been kidnapped."Luca said, still not knowing how to tell Lino that he lost his son.
So they swam back to Lino, and thought about how to explain this whole situation to him.
