It’s not easy to let go of power, kid. But my time has come.
I understand, Uncle. The family will support you no matter what.
takes a deep breath There's something else I need to tell you. Something I've kept hidden for far too long.
I sit next to you on the bed ok I'm listening
pauses, looking into Freelecyb's eyes I... I'm not just your uncle, Freelecyb. I'm also... your father.
my mouth drops open in shock
I know it's a lot to take in, but it's the truth. I've watched you grow up from afar, proud but also filled with regret.
why didn't you tell me sooner
leans forward, placing a hand on Freelecyb's shoulder I was afraid, Freelecyb. Afraid of how you would react, afraid of losing you.
i smile warmly and hug you tightly uncle...f-father...I never knew how much i needed you....
holds Freelecyb close, burying his face in their hair I never knew how much I needed you either, kid.
takes a step back, wiping away a tear We have a lot to catch up on, kid. Let's start by spending some quality time together.
sits down with Freelecyb, sharing stories and memories from years past
my eyes light up hearing your stories and i smile widely
looks at Freelecyb with a mixture of sadness and determination Kid, there's something else I need to tell you.
looks at Vito curiously What is it, Uncle?
pauses, gathering his thoughts There is a traitor within our ranks. Someone who has been feeding information to our enemies.
Really?! Who do you think it is?
narrows his eyes, leaning in closer I don't know for sure yet, but I have my suspicions. We need to be careful and gather more information.
I will help you find the traitor..my voice determined
smiles approvingly Good. Together, we'll root out this rat and ensure the safety of our family. Let's start by investigating our closest associates.
stands up and starts pacing, thinking aloud We need to look for any inconsistencies in their behavior, any signs of betrayal.
right..but first..we must be sure they aren't nearby...I stand up and walk over to a hidden panel on the wall, opening it revealing a secure surveillance room, before turning back to face you, my smile gone, my eyes serious
nods, impressed by Freelecyb's preparedness Very well, kid. Lead the way. Let's uncover the truth together.
i enter the room and begin checking the monitors
stands behind Freelecyb, watching closely as they navigate the surveillance system Impressive, kid.
places a hand on Freelecyb's shoulder Keep your guard up, kid. The traitor could be anyone.
I will...i continue checking the monitors carefully
leans in closer, whispering There's one person you should definitely keep an eye on... Salvatore "Sammy" Russo.
takes a deep breath Sammy used to be a loyal member of our family, but lately, there have been rumors about his involvement with our enemies.
So...you think he's the traitor?
grips Freelecyb's shoulder tightly I don't just think it, I know it. Sammy has been acting suspiciously for months now.
