Early the next morning we had decided to stop by the grave site where Rocco was. I had refused to come here since everything happened. I just didn't think I was ready. I couldn't face reality yet. Sure it had been 8 years, but the man was my best friend. We all walked into the coliseum and the boys made their way to the grave. I stopped and watched them find his and Neal infront. I still couldn't bring myself to go over there just yet. I sighed and turned to see Romeo leaning against the door. I walked over and leaned on the wall across from him. We starred at boys before he spoke up,

"You not know him well?"

I looked at Romeo and then back to the boys and sighed,"just the opposite, he was like family"

"Then why ain't you over there?" He asked.

I turned back to him,"why do you cry over everything?"

He didn't say anything and I sighed,

"I know how it is you know?"

He looked up at me and arched an eyebrow. I sighed and continued," to feel like nothing. Like you are a failure to everyone. Like no ones proud of you."

He didn't say anything and just starred at me intrigued so I continued,"my mom died giving birth to me and my dad blamed me for it. Safe to say he wasn't very nice to me, but no matter what I tried to get something nice out of that man. I worked so damn hard to make him proud of me. Never happened though"

I flinched thinking of the memories of my childhood. Memories even murphy didn't know.

"Where is he now?" Romeo asked.

"No clue, moment I turned 18 I moved out here and that's when I met the boys and Rocco. They saved me and Rocco was always there for me."

"That why Ya wanna get ur hands on yakevetta so bad?" He asked.

Memories of that night flooded my mind as I blinked tears away. he changed the subject,

"So, am I as good as this guy, or what?"

I chuckled and wiped my eyes,"You, sir, are no David Della Rocco."

I looked at Romeo and he smiled lightly at me. I smiled back. This was really the first good talk and moment we ever had. We were interrupted when the guys came to our side,

"Ya ready to go?"

We both nodded and I looked at Romeo one more time who just nodded and set off to the car. Murphy grabbed my hand and started to walk, but I didn't move, he looked at me with an arched eyebrow,

"Ya alright?"

"Yea. Give me a minute?" I asked looking towards the grave.

His eyes followed mine and then met mine and nodded, releasing my hand, and walking out to the car. I sighed and turned back and slowly walked over to the grave, stopping infront of it. Tears filled my eyes as I starred at the picture of my best friend. I noticed they had used his mug shot, but honestly I didn't care. Tears spilled off my eyes as I whispered,

"I'm sorry it took me so long to get here. You'd probably kick my ass for crying right now. I'm trying to be strong roc, but I don't know how much longer I can pretend to be strong. I'm not strong. I'm scared." I wiped my tears from my eyes and took a deep breath and whispered,"I miss you roc. Take care of my baby"

With that I kissed the picture and stood up wiping my eyes. I walked back to the car and got in the back with Connor. No one said anything which I was thankful for. My hand was grabbed and I looked down seeing Connors hand gripped onto mine. I looked up and he smiled at me and I smiled back. About an hour later The car had come to a stop outside of a tanning salon where George was. I rolled my eyes just thinking of him. The man was more of a woman than I was. The boys started suiting up as I starred out the window. All I could think about was what Cesar had said to me. His words both made me nervous and more determined. The yakevetta family had ruined my life in more ways than one and I wasn't going to let them near my family again unless they are starring down a bullet hole. If they thought they were gonna get their hands on me, they had another thing coming.

"Lass?" I heard Connor say next to me.

I shook my head coming out of deep thought and starred back at Connor,"ummm yea?"

"Ya alright?" He asked.

"O ummm yea...fine" I smiled.

He looked at me skeptically, but didn't question about it. I grabbed my gun as we all get out of the car and made our way through the back of the salon until we found the one that George was in. I chuckled hearing him singing out loud to a song. Murphy squeezed my hand, reminding me to be quiet. I nodded as we all made our way into the room. Connor nodded at us as murph and I jumped onto the top of the tanning bed and Connor placed the barrel of the gun to George's head,

"Lovely voice. We'd like ya ta sing for us. What do ya say?"

I giggled at Connors comment as he nodded at us and we both hopped off the bed causing George to fall out and on all fours struggling to catch a breath. I quickly adverted my eyes seeing him in a hot pink speedo. That is definitely something I could've gone my whole life without seeing.

" It's getting hard to be a fucking gentleman of leisure, here!" George yells.

The boys then yanked George to his feet and slammed him against the wall, each having a gun pointed in the palm of his hands. I stood infront,gun raised to his chest. I glared at the man who seemed terrified.

" We want the shooter you motherfuckers used on that priest." Murphy yelled.

"I don't know who it is." George cried gaining back hand from murphy.

"Bull shit!" I yelled.

The man started freaking out and I could see how seriously terrified he was in his eyes. I almost felt bad for him. We grew tired of him stalling as we all clicked our guns back causing the man to yell in fear,

It's the truth! Concezio didn't tell no one what he was doing cuz he knew nobody would have o'kay'ed it! The shooter's an independent contractor! That's all I know!"

The boys looked over at me as I studied the terrified mans eyes. I could tell he was telling the truth. I nodded at Connor and murph as they turned back to George,

"Where's Yakavetta hidin'?" Connor asked.

"The Prudential! Fortieth floor! Jesus Christ!" George breathed out.

All comes to a halt when a ringing sound appears. I turned and saw Romeo digging George's phone from his pants on the side of the floor. He tosses it to me and I open a text just saying WHERE. I arch my eyebrow,

"Where?"

"You meeting someone tonight, George?" Connor asked.

"Yeah. The brugliones." He says frightened.

"The what?" I asked and then looked back down at the simple word on the screen.

"Yakavetta's racket chiefs. Street guys." George stutters, but then seems to brighten up,Your kind of guys. You could take a real bite outta crime here, huh? I could help you."

I looked up from the phone and handed it over to Connor so he could see the message. I kept my gun on the man the whole time as I crossed over to murphy.

Connor looked at the message and then asked," What's that?"

"Nobody forgot what you guys did to us last time. They're staying indoors. I give out the location an hour before." He cried in fear again.

"My Uncle's place is closed tonight. I got the keys." Romeo added.

"It's down by the docks. Dead as a doornail at night." Murphy told me and Connor.

I smiled at Romeo and nodded. He smirked and nodded back.

"Yeah. You could set off fourth of July fireworks in dat place and nobody would hear. How's Mexican for you, George?" Connor asked George while playfully hitting him I. The face.

" No difference to me. I think I just shit my Speedos, anyway." He groaned gaining a disgusted look from me.

We had made our way back to Romeos uncles place. Romeo was out serving some of yakevettas men while the 3 of us had George in the back. Our guns pointing into his back as he starred out a window at the men. I was trying to breathe through my mouth cause it turns out George really did shit himself. I was trying to avoid from looking down at the shit stain on the speedo.

"Just two more to go. Uh...You guys are gonna let me go, right?" George asked.

"We'll see, won't we." Murph said.

George whines and sounds like he is about to cry,

"Jesus, this is some embarrassing shit."

All is quiet for a few more minutes till George looks over at me,"hey"

I arch an eyebrow and he says,"look I'm not really in a good position here but ya need to know something"

"Shut up!" Connor yells.

"She needs to hear this!" He yelled back at the boys gaining a slap in the face from murphy.

"Murph stop!" I yelled.

Both boys looked at me and calmed down. I lowered my gun and looked at George who looked at me with thankful eyes,

"Stay away from yakevetta. He's got stuff up his sleeve for you and it ain't safe."

My eyes widened. Was he really warning me? He wasn't like the other mov guys we ran into. This man was good. I nodded and murphy growled,

"If ya think we gonna let him touch her ya got another thing comin!" And hit him across the head with his gun.

"Murphy stop!" I scolded earning a glare from murphy and relief from George.

This was the second warning I've gotten about yakevetta and the second time my entire life I've felt the extreme need to kill someone.
