Chapter 16: Gianluca

Richie knocked on the door and waited for an answer. Marco stood next to him while Dickie waited in the car.

"So what's so special about this guy?" Marco asked.

"He's a veteran, a legend. He did twenty five years in prison for this family and he deserves to get back into the game." Richie replied.

Just then, Gianluca opened the door dressed in sweat pants and a tank top with his white hair ruffled.

"What the fck? I can't believe my eyes it's Richie Copperelli. How you doing kid?" Gianluca asked.

"I'm good Luca I just got a big problem and I was hoping you could solve it for me."

"Well come on in Richie. Who's your friend?"

"My name is Marco Peruzzi, and just let me say it is an honor to meet you sir." Marco answered as he shook Luca's hand.

"Your Giuseppe's kid right? Your father was a good man, we were all sad to see him pass away."

"Thank you Mr. Penzo." Marco replied politely.

"Oh fck that kid, you can call me Luca."

Luca led the two men inside his house and closed the door behind them. They walked into the kitchen and two more men were already sitting down.

"Richie you remember my brothers Emilio and Ercole." Luca said introducing Richie and Marco to his brothers.

Ercole was in a wheel chair. He had been paralyzed from the waist down in a shooting during the 80's.

"So what's the problem?" Luca questioned.

"Well it seems that Angelo Leone wants to take me out for no good reason at all. He already tried and failed as you can see. I'm here with an offer. You help me take him down and you'll get Capo. Your family could be your crew as well because I know you have two nephews to. All I need you to do is injure Angelo for me so he loses his place of temporary boss. He'll be in the hospital and Vito will become acting boss." Richie answered.

"Would you like anything special? I remember one time when I castrated a guy just for looking at this girl I was seeing at the time."

"No, no, Luca that won't be necessary. Just give him a good beating and kill anyone that's with him." Richie responded.

"Ok no problem. I never liked that little fck anyways. I got out of prison and I didn't get as much as a phone call from him. I mean I did twenty five fcking years for this family only to get released and get snubbed by that spoiled little ccksucker? Fck that. I'm on board Richie; I'll have it done today." Luca replied.

"Ok good, he'll be at Sex Club Seven around noon. Here is half the payment now and you get the other half when it's finished."
