Chapter #1A very ambitious man stakes his claim by: brandygang   The streets were packed with stragglers and civilians, dull and frumpy normal people to fill the pavement with their own lack of interest. Innovation, progress, invention and novelty, not a thing any of them could offer the all feared and nefarious Mob Boss of the Lucifer den, Gio Giovanni Lucifer. All of them went about their lives, comfortable in their own skin and careers as if not a thing ever bothered them, or would ever change.
Well for some of them they'd soon find wouldn't hold true.
Gio raised his crisp crystal glass up to his mouth and took in a refreshing sip of wine. He tapped his cane to his left on the knee of his Son-in-Law, Dante Lucifer and elbowed his top brass to his right, Mario Esposito, his burly muscle. They nodded and took the hint, along with Lucifer's own niece, Maria Marino, With her slick black suit, tied back blond hair and sharp features, she adjusted her glasses and shone the light forward, reflecting it towards four searching people, who took note of the light and started walking towards the outdoor cafe where Gio's troupe waited.
Soon the four of them came upon the mysterious Gio, his large 6 foot stature repressed as he sat down leaning backwards, his bulky shaven hands signaling for them to come forward. He took off his shades and rubbed them against his hawaiian shirt, kicking his sandals slightly below his cream colored khaki pants.

"Them" being the four individuals complicit and resigned to come towards him. One of them, a man by the name of Stan Machlovitz had requested a miraculous favor granted for him, and now it was time to pay up. Two other younger adolescents, Sharon and John, were rather strapped at the moment and could use his unique, assistance, despite hearing that there would be a 'cost'. The fourth was Sarah Savitch, a nervous, slightly older conservatively dressed lady stood ready, having quite a history with these mobsters herself.
Whatever there reasons for being there, Giovanni was delighted. There'd be plenty of time for jokes and greetings later, but for the particular moment, he was all business. Maria clicked open the briefcase behind him, and Giovanni raised out his glass. Taking one more sip, he asked outloud,
