Authors Note : Chapter 5, I broke the chapter into two parts cause a lot of people get discouraged when there's a lot to read all at once. If your wondering about the cities Carcer City(Chicago), Danford(Detroit) and of course this one hasn't been mentioned yet but I thought I'd put it anyways Mill Town(Milwaukee) I know that last one kind of sucks if you can think of a better one I'd like to here it. Oh yes and Please R&R! I love feed back and I usually check out people's work who are judging mine

The Sindacco Family

Chapter 5 Part 1: Liberty City

Charlie was alive and doing well in the same bed that Salvatore was in about two weeks ago. The doctor said that he was lucky he wasn't closer to the gun or it would of went straight through him. The wedding was in about a week and he asked his father to fly out the next day with the whole family. Charlie knew they where going to have to talk business but for now he was going to treat it as a regular wedding. Many people thought he was dead and that's the way Jack advised him to go, if the Forellis thought he was dead than they'd stop trying to shoot him. Charlie definitely got off lucky they confined him to a wheel chair for a month. He had read about all the mob hits in the paper and knew it was purely Johnny's idea, he was going to make a great Don someday. Now it was time to cut the loose ends of there own organization and Johnny was the man to do it.

Francis International Airport was busy today, people coming people going. It was literally like the floor was moving that's how many people there where. The terminal gates spanned everywhere from San Fierro to Vice City. But that's not where the Sindacco family picked up passengers during war time. Jack was in a black trench coat with a hat pulled low, he took out a cigarette and lit it, from far away you could swear it was a light house because of how much fog was coming off the sea. You could hear the seagulls and smell the salt water it was a very gloomy day. Charlie sat next to Jack in a wheel chair that was being pushed by Nikki who also took this opportunity to smoke. "Which way are they coming from?" Salvatore said taking Nikki's place behind the wheel chair. "West, they said about 12 unless they took a connecting flight in Danford" Charlie said spitting off the side of the dock.

"Jesus it's freezing out here why couldn't we wait at the terminal entrance?" Nikki said looking out to sea. "To dangerous, outside the terminal doesn't count as neutral territory and we don't want to chance Charlie getting seen waiting inside the airport" a bowie dinged off in the distance and a fog horn blew. "Shit your going to have to let somebody know he's alive eventually" Salvatore said throwing his cigarette in the water "I mean we can't just hide him forever" Jack looked at him than out to sea. "We will let the families know as soon as one of them calls a meeting, than no one will want to be pissing anyone off." Suddenly the sound of a plane could be heard. They all looked west to where it was coming from. It was a two engine private plane. "That's them for sure" Jack said stepping up onto the run way cement "I'll go greet him you guys wait here" Jack disappeared into the fog. Charlie coughed a little, than it started up into a fit he was spitting up a lot of phlegm. "You alright Charlie" Salvatore said leaning over him "yeah I'm fine, just the cold weather that's all" Salvatore patted him on the shoulder. Jack came back to the dock with Frank's arm around his shoulder "like i said it's nothing like back in the old days." Frank said laughing Jack just laughed with him to "yeah your right." Johnny followed behind them with his hands in his pockets.

Two body guards walked on both sides of this little happy group. Frank stopped when he saw his son, he tried to speak but he couldn't. "Hey pop!" Charlie said coughing a little more "my son" he said going over to him and hugging him. "What have they done to you? If your mother saw you like this she'd drop dead" Johnny spoke up "they shot him pop." "Johnny what did i tell you about being a wise ass? I tell you Charlie this boy I swear I don't know where he gets the attitude." "he got it from mom" Charlie said laughing a little. Frank saw Salvatore and shook his hand "how you been Salvatore?" "good Mr. Sindacco" "that's good, how's your mother?" "she's doing fine, she's been a little down thou since my father died" "I was sorry to hear that he was a good man he literally was right beside me from the time I came here in 1901." Salvatore just shook his head.

"So i hear your sister's getting married and I'm invited to the wedding" Salvatore just shook his head "yeah and Mary wanted me to ask you if you would.. well" "be the god father to there child?" "yeah" "tell Mary I would be honored." "thank you Mr. Sindacco" "think nothing of it your father would want it that way." A white Stafford pulled up beside the group, Nikki was driving it. "Alright gentlemen we have an appointment back at the ship yard" he said getting out and opening the other door. "Sounds good to me" Johnny said getting in "lets go I want to sit between my boys" Frank said also getting in the back too. "Hey Stretch, Louie help me out with Charlie" Jack said helping Charlie off the wheel chair and into the back.

The two body guards came over one of them folded the wheel chair and put it in the trunk while the other one helped Jack with Charlie. Jack's car pulled up and Jack and the body guards got into that. Then they where off. The cars made it slowly up the street towards the Staunton Bridge. Charlie was talking to his father while Johnny looked on. "So we shot them, it wasn't are fault pop, than with the restaurant and all Jack's not letting me see anybody he's doing everything himself" "don't worry Charlie he's not trying to push in on your job he's just doing what he's always done for us, been there" they all shook there heads. "Yeah he's been with us since I was born I think" Johnny said lighting a cigarette. The land scape of Liberty City would of been breath taking if it wasn't covered by fog. "I'm worried about you pop if they tried to hit me than they'll definitely try to hit you" Frank just put his hand on Charlie's knee. "Charlie you know how many hits I've lived through?" Charlie shook his head no "eight, I've lived through eight hits and I've only been shot once. I tell you someone up there must really like me to keep me alive this long, either that or someone up there has bad aim" Frank let out a hardy laugh everyone in the car laughed with him.

"Seriously Charlie don't worry about me" he playfully hit him in the face "your young you should be worrying about yourself." The car took a turn and rocked them all to the right they where on the bridge now. "Things are going crazy pop men are getting hit left and right, I think we all got to worry about each other" Johnny said flicking some ash out the window. "Your right son but for now let's just worry about getting to the ship yard." Charlie adjusted himself "well I don't think we have to worry about getting hit, no one even knows I'm alive much less has any clue you guys are here." They all just sat back and tried to enjoy the ride.
