Michael and Lily O'Connor sat on a hill overlooking their beautiful Connecticut ranch watching the sunset with the newest addition to their family, baby Kerrie, nestled in her mothers arms.
"This is the perfect place to start our new life." Michael said gently to his wife.
"And the perfect place to raise out daughter." Lily added, resting her head on her husbands shoulder.
"Good things are going to happen to us." said Michael with a sigh of relief, "I can feel it."
2 YEARS LATER
Lily sat in her chair just about to doze off when,
"Mommy, Mommy!"
She heard Kerrie crying from her room. Lily sighed and pushed her light red hair out of her face.
"I'm coming sweetie"
She walked in to see her toddler sitting in her bed crying.
"Did you have another bad dream?" she asked.
The tiny girl nodded, her dark green eyes glistening with tears. Lily took her in her arms and rocked her back and forth lightly singing an old song from Dublin about singing and dancing, it was Kerrie's favorite. Song enough the toddler was fast asleep.
"Lily?" Michael called, slamming the door behind him.
Lily tucked Kerrie into bed and rushed to greet her husband.
"Shh, I just got the baby to sleep, what's wrong?" she asked seeing the fear glazed over his lively green eyes.
"We have to leave, we have to leave now!" he instructed her.
"What? Why?"
"You know Caleb?"
"Yes, he's your brother." she answered plainly.
"Yes, my twin brother" he said emphasizing twin. "Well believe it or not, my darling brother Caleb is the leader of the Irish mafia."
"Wait, wait, wait, there's an Irish mafia?" Lily asked unbelievingly.
"Well, it looks like it. Anyway, the Italian mafia is after the Irish mafia because of some sort of dispute."
Lily cut him off, "But what does this have to do with us?"
"I was attacked today, by the Italian mafia, they think I'm my brother! They're trying to kill me! They know where we live, we have to go, NOW!!"
Without any further questioning Lily did as she was told. She packed up a few things, grabbed her child and left. They went to the train station and got on the first train they saw, an express to New Jersey.
