CRASH

When the gang could see, they realized they were outside Daniella's house. It was night time, and there was a slight breeze that sent chills down their backs. The mansion was pitch black, which wasn't a good sign.

"Um, should we try to go in or something?" Shaundi asked, crossing her arms over her chest.

"I don't know, I have a bad feeling about this." Oleg warned, scanning his surroundings.

"Yeah, maybe we should-" Johnny started, but closed his mouth. A minivan pulled up the large circular driveway, and the door opened.

Out popped Daniella, decked out in full soccer gear. Her shirt and shorts were a rich green, and her tall black socks matched with her dark cleats. Her dark hair was pulled into a tight braid, but a couple strands had gone astray. Her face was red, and she was sweaty.

"Tell your parents I said ciao Daniella!" A woman shouted from the drivers seat.

"Will do Mrs. Gerrani!" Daniella shouted back.

"BYE DANNI!" Screamed another voice inside the van.

"BYE SOFIA!" Daniella replied, with an equal amount of volume and zeal.

The vehicle drove off, and the Boss picked up her bag off the ground, and turned around.

"Huh?" She whispered, staring at her dark home. Her eyes narrowed, and she started walking towards the manor carefully. She rummaged around her bag for a minute, before she pulled out a pocket knife. She stowed the bag behind a bush, and proceeded towards the villa with caution.

"Of course she would have a knife with her," Kinzie muttered.

A couple minutes later, everyone was at the front door. Daniella flicked her knife open, and she steadily pushed the door open.

"Papa?" She called out into the darkness.

It was in that moment that Johnny had his own flashback. He thought back to the day Aisha died. He remembered himself calling out to her, apprehensive, and stricken with worry. All he wanted was to hear her voice, just so he would know that everything would be alright, just wanting to know that she was safe and unharmed. Of course, it didn't end that way, the woman he loved was murdered, but now he had the Boss, and he was completely over Aisha. But still, even though he no longer had any passionate feelings about Aisha, he cringed at the memory.

"Daniella!" A little voice erupted from the darkness.

Danni's face went white, and she ran into the darkness, the gang followed pursuit.

"Josephine!" the Boss yelled, blindly searching for the child.

The room erupted in light suddenly, and the Boss was taken aback from the sudden change. In the center of the living room was Josephine, the little girl from the last memory, tied to a chair, tears streaming down her small face.

The Boss was about to run over, but the little girl stopped her.

"DANNI LOOK OUT!" She warned.

But it was too late, for a man leaped out of nowhere, and struck the teenager on the back if her head. Daniella fell to the ground, unconscious.

"BOSS!" Johnny roared, and attacked the man, he punched him straight in the jaw, but his punch went right through the stranger.

"The fuck..?" Johnny said, looking at the intruder in shock.

He swung again, aiming for the head, but just like last time, the punch had no effect.

"Its like he's transparent." Kinzie suggested, shocked herself.

"This is so fucking weird," Viola whispered, shaking her head.

While the gang was recovering from their new discovery, several more men came out, and they dragged Daniella into another chair, and tied her arms and legs down.

The first guy started barking orders to the others, but it was only a few minutes before Daniella regained consciousness.

She looked around wildly, before she growled at the men.

"Who the cazzo are you!?"

The man turned around, surprised to see her conscious again so early.

"Well, well, well. It looks like the guest of honor is with us again!" He cheered, waving his arms around, in a grandiose manor.

"Who are you? And what do you want?" She seethed, her eyes glaring daggers at the intruder.

"Well, you see femmina, your daddy did something to us, and we're pissed off, big time." He explained, pulling out a large knife. He slowly started making his way over to Daniella's sister, who was trembling in her chair. Daniella's eyes never left him, she watched every slight movement he made.

"And, since he seems to ignore, our very kind warnings, it seems like we have to take-" He turned, so he was behind Josephine's chair, and he held his knife against her throat. "-drastic measures." His smile was sickly sweet. The poor girl started sobbing.

"Leave her alone! She has nothing to do with this!" Daniella yelled, straining against her chair. Since the Saints were behind her, they saw she was twisting her hands, slowly working out the knot they were tied up in.

"And you do?" The evil man questioned, digging the knife deeper, small red beads were starting to surface on the blade, as he broke the skin.

"Yes!" she cried, "just leave her alone!" the Boss struggled to keep her voice level.

The male took the knife off of the small girl's throat, and she started to sob in relief. He began to saunter over to Daniella.

"And how are you, tied up in all of this?" He spoke softly, trailing his knife lightly over her face.

Johnny growled, he wanted to rip this fucker apart.

"I recognize you assholes now," Daniella spoke up, her voice defiant, and never wavering. "You're the leader of the Peste, and you've been trying to overthrow the Sicilian Mafia for decades, but you never managed to, thanks to my father." She gloated, pride in her eyes.

The man was red with fury, his face contorted in anger, before he could retaliate, the Boss spoke up again.

"Years ago, my father killed your second in command, Tony Gallastro, after a deal went sideways. Unknown to you, your most trusted comrade was working with the enemy. So, in the end, the joke is on you, testa di cazzo." She laughed, but it quickly turned into a scream, as her kidnapper plunged his knife into her thigh.

"DANIELLA!" Johnny screamed, lunging at the man. Oleg quickly intercepted him, and blocked his path, while Angel, Zimos and Pierce held him back.

"Chill out man! It's all going to work out in the end, remember?" Pierce rationalized, trying to call him down.

"GET THE FUCK OFF OF ME." Johnny demanded, shoving them away. He ran his hands through his hair, taking deep breaths, trying to calm himself down.

Daniella let out a ragged breath, desperately trying to calm herself down.

"NO ONE SPEAKS TO ME LIKE THAT!" The leader roared, "and now, you're dead bitch!" He threatened, glaring at Danni.

"I don't think so," she countered, and in the blink of an eye, she ripped her hands out of her binds. She jutted forward, tackling the man in front of her. They went down, and the chair broke with the force, her legs now free. She straddled the gang leader, and punched him, his head flew back, dazing him.

The three others jumped to attack, and the Boss took the knife, and threw it at one, puncturing his skull. He fell with a thud, dead. Another man went behind, and held her hands behind her. The third man went towards her, and punched her in the gut. She grunted in pain, and the man charged again, but she kicked him back, with her good leg. He stumbled back, gripping his rib cage.

Daniella crouched down, and sprang up, flipping over the man, her knees pressed against his back. Before he could react, she snapped his neck. The dead man fell, and Daniella walked over to the second man, the one with the hurt rib cage. She punched him in his face, his nose cracking. He fell back again, and Daniella retrieved the knife from the first man she killed. In an instant, she jammed the blade into the man's eye. With the three of them dead, she turned back to leader, who was clutching the back of his head.

She laughed darkly, "Damn, you look so pathetic." She walked over, and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt, she raised the knife, she looked menacing.

"No one, and I mean no one threatens my family, and lives."

And with that, she jammed the knife into his skull.

"Danni?" Josephine whispered, concerned.

The Boss started stumbling, gripping her ribs, and her leg, which started to bleed profusely.

The front door burst open, and Daniella's parents ran in, their clothes ragged and bloody.

"Josephine! Daniella!" They screamed, rushing over to their children, but before they could reach the teenager, she fell, unconscious.

"Boss!" The Saints gasped, but there was nothing they could do, and their vision faded.

A/N: Holla. Don't mess with the Boss. So that was "actiony" hopefully you like it. If anyone is confused, Josephine is the daughter of Giuseppe and Carmela Sodano (Daniella's adoptive parents/aunt and uncle.) So technically Daniella and Josephine are cousins, but they consider themselves sisters. And yes, Giuseppe and Carmela had trouble conceiving children, (which is why they adopted Daniella) but they eventually were able to have Josephine. Also, Daniella doesn't know she is adopted yet. If you don't know why the Peste were after Daniella's father, they were seeking revenge for the man Daniella's father killed in the earlier chapters. Daniella's father runs the Sicilian Mafia. Also, Peste means plaque, according to Google Translate. So the gang is called the Plaque. Just in case you were confused! Also, this story is almost done! I'm thinking about four or five more chapters. I have an awesome idea for a next story, and I can't wait to get started on it! So let me know what you think. Please review! TMS out.
