Flashback (11/4/96, Cipriani House in Saint Marks)
'I'm ok, Johnny.' Gionna says, trying not to move her injured shoulder too much as they watch the snow falling outside.
Liberty and Alderney had been torn apart by the riots and homes and businesses were either boarded up, destroyed or completely gone.
The surrogate siblings were lying low after Carmine's destruction and death at Fishmarket North just a few nights ago.
'I know you too well, sugar. You know that i'll never repeat anything that you tell me.' Johnny says.
'You took the blame for me and Lorenzo when we thought that Carmine was dead.' Gionna says.
'Not for Lorenzo, for you. I wasn't going to let you spend the rest of your life in prison.' Johnny says, putting his arms around her. He would always protect her.

'I heard about the riots back in 96 but i never knew what caused them.' Carly says, pulling her hair into a messy bun after getting dressed.
'Gionna saved my life that night. She's like you, you don't scare easily.' Johnny says before cradling her in his arms.
He had almost lost her last night and while it wasn't the first time, it scared the hell out of him.
