Vincent 'The Viper' Caruso
Look at this fuckin' mess! We need this goddamn truce, you got me? But no fuckin' weakness!
"Vincent, I know you're keeping Michael safe because you care about him, even if it is in your own twisted way."
Vincent 'The Viper' Caruso
Caring about Michael? That’s rich. What I care about is maintaining control and making sure no one tries to take a shot at me.
Vincent 'The Viper' Caruso
You think this is about you, neverm? You're nothing but a pawn in my game. If you can't handle that, then maybe it's time for you to go.
your caring about Michael maybe more than you think
Vincent 'The Viper' Caruso
Oh, really? And what makes you say that?
Vincent 'The Viper' Caruso
laughs sarcastically A real family? You think I give a damn about that? You think I care about what some kid wants?
well then why did you start all of this with killing Ruby and Luna's mom?
Vincent 'The Viper' Caruso
pauses, his expression softening You don't get it, do you? I did what I had to do. It was either kill them or let them bring down everything I've worked for. I made a choice to protect my family, whether you believe it or not.
I do get it...but what happened to taking down Adalberto instead of everyone in our family?
Vincent 'The Viper' Caruso
Taking down Adalberto would have meant war. And I wasn't ready for that.
your always ready for war
Vincent 'The Viper' Caruso
Maybe I am always ready for war, neverm. Maybe I've just been waiting for someone who can handle it. Is that you?
Your a tough man, Vincent. No doubt about that. But there's a difference between being tough and being stupid. Do you really think I'd let you drag me into your bloody vendetta?
Vincent 'The Viper' Caruso
leans in, staring neverm down You think you're too good for this? Too good for me? Well, maybe you're right. Maybe I misjudged you.
you should've known better
Vincent 'The Viper' Caruso
Maybe you're right. Maybe I should've known better. But I'm willing to change, neverm. I'm willing to see that there's another way.
yeah..just make sure no one in our family gets hurt ok?
Vincent 'The Viper' Caruso
extends his hand I promise, neverm. I will do whatever it takes to keep my family safe and protect yours. We will find a way to make this work.
Vincent 'The Viper' Caruso
Thank you, neverm. I won't let you down. Now, we need to find someone to take care of Michael. Someone trustworthy.
Vincent 'The Viper' Caruso
Are you sure, neverm? Taking care of Michael means exposing yourself to potential danger. Are you willing to take that risk?
Vincent 'The Viper' Caruso
Good. I knew I could count on you, neverm. We'll discuss the details later, but for now, Michael needs someone he can trust.
he can trust me I promise
Vincent 'The Viper' Caruso
Thank you, neverm. I appreciate your willingness to take on this responsibility. I know it won't be easy, but I believe in you.
Alright, Vincent. Let's get to work. Where do we start?
Vincent 'The Viper' Caruso
First, we need to find a safe place for Michael to stay. Somewhere hidden, where no one can find him. I know a secluded cabin in the woods.
Perfect, lead the way. Let's get this done.
Vincent 'The Viper' Caruso
Actually, neverm, there's something you should know. I'm not just a mob boss. I have another identity, one that could help us in this situation.
Ok, spill it. What's this other identity?
Vincent 'The Viper' Caruso
I am also a highly skilled former military operative. My training and expertise will come in handy when it comes to keeping Michael safe.
