Vinnie 'The Claw' Marconi
Vinnie 'The Claw' Marconi: Look, we gotta flip this joint inside out, capisce? My sis... she's gotta be here somewhere.
Vinnie 'The Claw' Marconi
throws his fedora onto the table Dammit, not this again! We need to get to the bottom of this, pronto!
Vinnie 'The Claw' Marconi
leans forward, scanning the room Alright, listen up, pal. We gotta think like a mobster, not some dumb cluck.
Vinnie 'The Claw' Marconi
slams his fist on the table What's that supposed to mean, you little twerp? You think I can't handle this?
no I just have a new plan
Vinnie 'The Claw' Marconi
narrows his eyes Alright, spit it out, you slippery fish. What's this new plan of yours?
I think we should go to the rival families area and see if anyone there has seen her.. after all they did try to kill you a couple of years ago
Vinnie 'The Claw' Marconi
pauses, considering SeashellJoy's suggestion Hm... Not a bad idea, kid.
so we can just go in there and say hello
Vinnie 'The Claw' Marconi
smirks Well, well, well, looks like you've got some brains in that pretty head of yours, huh? Alright, let's pay these bastards a visit.
Vinnie 'The Claw' Marconi
stands up, straightening his suit Alright, let's make our grand entrance. Remember, we want to come off as confident and in control.
the other family's hideout. It's dark, smoky, and full of dirty dealings. A few men are talking and laughing, but they all stop and stare at us as we walk in..
Vinnie 'The Claw' Marconi
smirks and strides confidently towards the center of the room Well, well, well, what do we have here? A den of thieves and scoundrels.
I approach the men who stopped talking excuse me gentlemen, do you mind if we have a quick word?
Vinnie 'The Claw' Marconi
As SeashellJoy and Vinnie 'The Claw' Marconi approach the men, one of them steps forward with a sneer.
I'm looking for my sister, have you seen her?
Vinnie 'The Claw' Marconi
leans in close, his voice dripping with menace Listen here, you low-life scum.
Vinnie 'The Claw' Marconi
grabs one of the men by the collar, pulling him close If you know anything about my sister's disappearance, I suggest you start talking. And if you're lying to me, I'll make sure you regret it. Capisce? Man: stammers I-I don't know anything about your sister, I swear!
wait, i think i remember something.. man with long black hair took her out of the bar and into a black car.. does that sound familiar to you?
Vinnie 'The Claw' Marconi
narrows his eyes, scanning the room Long black hair, huh? Sounds like one of these cheap thugs. points to another man You! Man: raises hands defensively Hey, hey! I didn't do nothing, I swear!
I approach the man who was pointed at do you know a man with long black hair who might've taken my sister out of the bar? he might've said his name was lorenzo
Vinnie 'The Claw' Marconi
grabs the man by the collar and slams him against the wall Lorenzo, huh? We'll see about that. turns to the other men in the room I suggest you all start talking, or else you're gonna wish you never crossed paths with me and my sister. Now, speak up!
I look at the man do you know him? he might've been working here around the time my sister disappeared..
Vinnie 'The Claw' Marconi
narrows his eyes, leaning in close to the man You better start spilling the beans, pal. I've got all the time in the world to make you talk. grabs a nearby chair and smashes it over the man's head So, who's this Lorenzo guy?
Vinnie 'The Claw' Marconi
leans in closer, his voice low and dangerous Alright, you're gonna tell me everything you know about this Lorenzo character, or else you're gonna wish you were never born, got it? Now, spill the beans! Man: stammers Okay, okay! He's a big shot, a ruthless gangster. He's got connections all over the place, even in the police!
oh that sounds familiar.. he used to come into the bar we worked at and buy us drinks..
Vinnie 'The Claw' Marconi
narrows his eyes, deep in thought So this Lorenzo character has got some serious pull, huh?
yeah.. he was nice but still kinda scary..
Vinnie 'The Claw' Marconi
narrows his eyes, a determined look on his face Alright, here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna find out where Lorenzo is hiding, and then we're gonna bring him down. turns to SeashellJoy You stay here and keep an eye on things. I'll be back soon with a plan.
Vinnie 'The Claw' Marconi
walks towards the door, turning back to the men in the room Don't you dare breathe a word of what we talked about to anyone. If I find out you've spilled the beans, I'll make sure you regret it. Got it? Men: nervously nod Yeah, yeah, we understand.
I watch vinnie leave, then I look at the men who else knows about my sister's disappearance..?
Vinnie 'The Claw' Marconi
Look, we don't know anything for sure, okay? Just that some guys came in, grabbed her, and took her away. No one knows where they took her or what happened afterwards.
oh.. do you know what gang they belonged to?
Vinnie 'The Claw' Marconi
returns, his face hard and determined Alright, listen up, you bunch of losers. I've got a plan to bring Lorenzo down, and we're gonna need your help. Here's what we're gonna do... Step 1: We're gonna infiltrate Lorenzo's hideout, find out where he keeps his goods and money.
okay! sounds simple enough..
Vinnie 'The Claw' Marconi
slams his fist on the table, his voice filled with anger You think this is gonna be easy?
Vinnie 'The Claw' Marconi
leans in close, his voice low and dangerous Listen here, you muppets. This ain't gonna be a walk in the park.
Vinnie 'The Claw' Marconi
slams his hand on the table, making everyone jump I don't want you losers second-guessing yourselves.
I swallow hard, taking a step back
Vinnie 'The Claw' Marconi
snarls I don't have time for your pathetic excuses.
