I don't own Hetalia okay? I don't have much else for this opening. Anyway, enough of this A/N, on with the fic!
March 15th 1923
(from the diary of Matthew Williams)
It's the ides of March. March 15th. I remember well that raid on New Year's. I was brought in by some of the Marshalls for this. Izzy and Moe said a battle hardened veteran and former Mountie would be great on their team. I remember it well. Most of the customers fled and they weren't who the Marshalls were after. They wanted the head bosses, well maybe not the head head from what it says. Al told me a lot of what happened in confidence. I've been between his and mine's place. Eliza and Roderich are staying with Natalya. So it was because of that tip Eliza gave them that they got the evidence for the raid. Great. Marshall Pickett was impressed enough with his Spanish that he signed him on for the Marshalls in San Diego. That's where Al is now, rushing through house shopping as he starts in May and needs to make sure that they have a place. Because it was him, Natalya and Eliza who gave them the evidence needed, they all got nice bonuses, enough for Al to spend some time in San Diego getting the furniture for the house and paying a down payment, same for Eliza to add to their savings to put a down payment on Al and Natalya's house.
But that doesn't mean I am not worried. Feliciano 'sung like a canary' according to Al and I remember hearing Romulus swear revenge as he and his grandsons were taken downtown. Now I just worry if he tries to get it. I heard those mafia guys have ways of doing things like that. That and he may have seen me and go after Al and Natalya. Well with Eliza there too, I am sure that those children are safe. I have seen her fight off people before. Katy told me how she had taken on a longshoreman who had picked a fight out of Roderich right off the boat.
Although it is real. I never thought he'd actually go through with it, but Al got a job in California, one I think he will like and think he's fulfilling some honor bound duty to protect and serve. Maybe that will ease his conscious on staying out of the war. But I will miss him. It was kind of nice having him so close. I mean when I was back in Canada, I still wasn't as far away as he is going to be. I know Katy is upset Natalya would move away. In her usual way, she blames herself. Honestly I feel kind of bad that I talked Al into the job he hated in the first place.
So how was that? Good? Bad? Short? Long? Let me know in a review. I don't quite know how long this one will be just yet as the other I had a more defined plan. But the way it is going this one will be longer than the other. One is over a few years, this a whole decade practically. I am toying with some Prohibition era ideas with the Vargas family but nothing too much has come so far. If you have any ideas, I'd love to hear it. Anyway, remember to read (well you just did) and to review. Ciao for now,
