Three days after getting fitted for my suit and getting the businesses squared away Zofia woke me up early to help me put on my new black suit and help me slick my hair up just like Aleksandr was fond of and after we finish up I put Aleksandr's custom 45 in it's shoulder holster over my red button up shirt and then I button up my jacket, tie my new dress shoes, and lastly I put on Aleksandr's silver Rolex after which I look in the mirror to check out how I look to which Zofia says "My god you really do look just like Aleksandr did the only real difference is you have a much broader build than he did"
"So Zofia who do I need to know that's going to be there other than Emilio"
"Well there should be Aleksandr's mother Annabella who despite living among crooks her whole life is the sweetest woman you've ever met, at least three bodyguards including Tony one of Annabella's most trusted people, Emilio, and Luna an orphan girl Annabella adopted several years ago that she loves more than anything because she never had a daughter of her own"
"Okay is there anything else I need to know about anyone"
"Annabella will love it if you call her Nonna and give her a big hug when you see her and careful she will pinch your cheeks faster than you can think"
After I nod in the affirmative Rosa knocks on the door and says that the family is here waiting in the study so we head downstairs to meet everyone
Before entering the study I see six people around the room through a crack in the door including one man drinking a huge martini wearing a lot of jewelery including a ridiculous gold watch and four rings along with a big gold chain, two rough looking goons in cheap suits packing a large frame revolver and some kind of big automatic respectively, one older man who on initial impression is nothing impressive but vibe he puts off says he's probably the most dangerous guy there, and two ladies on the loveseat one in either her late teens or early twenties with blonde hair in a red of the shoulder dress and the woman who must be Annabella my "grandma" who is wearing a simple brown dress with her grey hair pinned up in a bun
After analyzing everyone in the room I quickly walk in with Zofia behind me and say with a smile "Hello Nonna I'm Butch " as I give her a big bear hug picking her up off the loveseat
Right as I do that the overdressed idiot with the martini drops it on the floor and grabs my shoulder right as I put Annabella down so I grab him by the wrist and twist it to the side "First rule Uncle Emilio no one touches me without my permission got it"
"Yeah yeah I got it now please let me go" Emilio says as he grimaces in pain
After I let him go I see Annabella with a smirk on her face because of the altercation and says"that was impressive Butch and I suppose I should thank you for not breaking his arm; now let me get a better look at my grandson hmm big strong arms, strong jawline, that same damned hairstyle my Aleksandr loved so much, and by God are you a tall one " she says as she pinches my cheek
After I finish introducing myself to everyone we get in the car and take a quick look at the businesses and have a nice meal at Enzo's before we turn in for the night
