Hey is that the famous gangster big Paulie's kid, asked one of the young girls. Yes, now shut up before you wake 'em up, said one of the gangsters. Fat Tony knew what they were doing with these girls making out. He heard them laughing and he would usually peek and see what was going on usually the young adults wouldn't have any clothes. His godparents were friends with everyone when he was 19 he would baby-sit kids it was a girls job but it paid and he loved babies and kids. This is how he met his good friends Louie and Joey but Joey was called Legs in his teen years and throughout his adulthood. He had come to Louie's house one time his parents were Italian Immigrants. Fat Tony was like a father to Louie he would usually feed him his bottles comfort him when he cried dressed him and would always murmur Italian to him he would put him to bed bathe him it was like a baby brother he never had. But his godparents had a baby Frankie. Fat Tony and Frankie were close to each other. Fat Tony loved to take care of little Frankie. Fat Tony was only 20 years old when Frankie was born. As Frankie grew into a little boy he was very smart he belonged to a rich family had a high IQ he was also held up a grade. But a little Italian boy named Joseph had moved up the block he was only 6 years old and fresh out of Italy. Fat Tony had taught the little boy English and showed him places he had never seen before. This child was a friend of Fat Tony's for many years. This other young 9 year old boy Johnny had come to America from Italy of course Fat Tony taught him lots of English and showed him around in New York. Don had visited all these little boys houses and told them they were going to grow up like him but the little boys never got what he meant and didn't know what he was talking about and just laughed at him they thought he was joking but no Fat Tony done the same thing to him too. The boys didn't know they would do bad things as young men. When Frankie got older he was starting to know about the stuff his older cousin did and about his father because he was always told he was his older brother. When it was Frankie's 11th birthday Fat Tony waited to the end of the party so he wouldn't get yelled at. Frankie come to my room, he said. What is it Fat Tony? He asked. Be quiet I don't want your parents knowing about this, he said. He gave Frankie the wrapped present. Frankie started to open it. Did you get me clothes again because you only get me clothes now, he said. Just open the damn thing, sighed Fat Tony. Frankie removed the box's lid it was a gun. Remember I don't want your parents knowing about this or I will be in trouble understand? He asked. Understood, said Frankie. Don't point it at anyone use it when I am in trouble got it, said Fat Tony. Good, now go to bed its getting late. Fat Tony would usually help Frankie with the gun and help him practice by shooting cans. But one day Fat Tony had met a new friend of Frankie's.
