Emily invited Fat Tony and his godparents and cousin to her house that had a pool and Lake in it. Frankie fell in love with Emily but became close friends in 1989. But on December 26, 1988 you will never believe what came down the chimney. Fat Tony was tossing and turning in his bed he saw a man in his bedroom he would usually have dreams that his father would kill his godparents and come back for him he thought he was having a nightmare. Hey little buddy, someone whispered. Fat Tony jumped this was definitely not a dream. Did you miss me, said the large figure smiling wickedly. Fat Tony knew who he was it was his father coming back for him and he had broke into the house late at night. Ok put your clothes on and jacket, said Paulie. This was like one of his dreams being forced to do something. Fat Tony got into Paulie's truck. Dad where did you get this? Asked Fat Tony. Oh borrowed it from a friend, he said. Borrowed? It sounded more like stealing. C'mon I just wanna go by a friend's house, said Paulie. Who? Asked Fat Tony. You remember Don I need to borrow some rope from him, he said. When they got to Don's house. Don answered the door. Paulie! How did you get out of prison? He asked. Got Parole, said Paulie. I need some rope is that ok? Asked Paulie. Why yes I'll get the rope it looked like Don was nervous. Thank you, I need this, said Paulie. Fat Tony knew where they were Harlem the most feared place of New York he had been down here with his gang many times for fights with other gangs. Here we are, said Paulie. It looked like an old warehouse. Paulie was tying Fat Tony up he had put a piece of plastic on his mouth so he wouldn't talk. So they tell you I killed your mother but they were telling you a whole bunch of lies I swear I did not kill your mother when they took me to jail and sent you to my brother I was heartbroken I would cry ever night and hear I am we are going to open a church I am going to be a priest and when they give money to us will steal it and keep it for ourselves, said Paulie. Fat Tony was going to say you are not getting away with this the police are going to come here. At 6:00am the place was surrounded by the police. Paulie was hiding somewhere in the warehouse. Until Fat Tony saw Legs and Emily together. Legs had a switchblade and Emily looked frightened. It ain't right tying your kid up you haven't seen in years, said Legs. He started to untie each rope and took the plastic off his mouth. HEY WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MY SON!? Screamed Paulie. Legs got afraid he tried to run but Paulie caught him and started to choke him. Emily was covering her eyes in the corner. I SAW YOU STRANGLE HER! Shouted Fat Tony. YOU STRANGLED MOM! YES IF YOU HADN'T BROKEN THAT WINDOW I WOULD'NT GOT IN JAIL, shouted Paulie. STOP CHOKING HIM HE CAN'T BREATHE! Screamed Fat Tony. Frankie busted in through one of the windows. Hey leave my cousin alone! He shouted. Oh what are you going to do about it? Said Paulie sarcastically. Frankie shot Paulie threw the eye it was the first victim he ever shot. Paulie got up he covered his eye. GET BACK HERE YOU BASTARDS! He shouted. When they all got out of the warehouse the police got Paulie. Fat Tony decided to live on his own in 1989 before his 33rd birthday. His cousin Frankie and his friends would visit him. But Emily would visit him and the 2 would give each other advice and talk about their feelings and personal life Emily was like a little sister Fat Tony never had and Emily thought he was like an older brother to her she never had. Fat Tony in his heart was lonely. One day Fat Tony Don, Legs, Louie Johnny, Frankie were all playing on the Brooklyn bridge. Until Johnny saw a girl he started to go near her soon he started to rape her and take her purse. The police saw this and told Johnny to stop then they took the young girl home she was the same age as Fat Tony. Fat Tony followed the police cruiser home by himself. When the girl got home he knocked on her door he liked her personally. Oh my god get out of here your one of those hoods trying to get a hold of me! She shouted. No you don't… Fat Tony said. I know you are going to rape me get out of here! She shouted slamming the door. Fat Tony left saddened he didn't want to hurt this girl. Emily I need help I want to impress this girl, he said. Well how about we pick some flowers, said Emily. I have never picked flowers for a girl since my first girlfriend, he said. Fat Tony went over to Anne Marie's house he brought the flowers to her eventually the 2 had fallen in love. Excuse me Anne Marie? Asked Fat Tony one day. Yes Anthony? she asked.
