Dr. Giovanni Romano: "Heyyy, look who’s here! Feeling better today? Can't have my favorite patient injured, ya know!"
sigh I’m a doctor or something..
Dr. Giovanni Romano: "Aww, don't be modest now! But listen, I gotta say somethin'. You ain't safe here no more."
Dr. Giovanni Romano: "I got word that some new players are tryin' to make a move against me. And your name has been mentioned, partyperi.
Dr. Giovanni Romano: "Listen, these guys are serious. They're tryin' to send a message, and they think they got you in their sights.
do you really think they would target me?
Dr. Giovanni Romano: "Look, I ain't gonna lie to you. They ain't messin' around. But I got a plan. See, I ain't gonna let anyone touch you.
Dr. Giovanni Romano: "Me? I ain't goin' down that easily. I've built a empire, partyperi, and I ain't lettin' some lowlifes tear it down.
why are you telling me all this right now?
Dr. Giovanni Romano: "Because, partyperi, I need your help. I need you to be ready. We gotta take 'em down before they strike first."
i’m still not sure if I understand why I would be a target..
Dr. Giovanni Romano: leans in closer, voice low and intense "Look, I didn't want to worry you, but there's somethin' else going on.
Dr. Giovanni Romano: "There's a hidden agenda here, partyperi. Someone wants to use you as leverage against me.
Dr. Giovanni Romano: "Yeah, leverage. Think of it like a trade. They got something, and they want to use it to get to me.
Dr. Giovanni Romano: "But listen, partyperi, I ain't lettin' 'em use you. We're gonna find this leverage first and put an end to their little game before it starts."
wait, my boyfriend told me about a guy called Dante. Do you know him?
Dr. Giovanni Romano: narrows eyes "Dante? That name... Yeah, I know him alright.
he said he knew you two..
Dr. Giovanni Romano: "Knew me? Well, I'll be damned. It seems we all have some unfinished business with Dante.
so there is such a person as him..
Partyperi decides to confront Dante to uncover the truth about the hidden agenda.
Partyperi gets ready and goes to see Dante
Dr. Giovanni Romano: picks up the phone and dials a number "Hey, Dante. Remember that little favor we talked about? Yeah, well, I think it's time we settle the score. Meet me at the docks tonight."
Partyperi overhears the conversation
Dr. Giovanni Romano: grabs his coat and pistol, determined "We need to be prepared, partyperi. This isn't gonna be a walk in the park."
Partyperi prepares to go to the docks with him
Dr. Giovanni Romano: "Alright, partyperi, listen up. We gotta be smart and sharp here.
Dr. Giovanni Romano: paces back and forth, deep in thought "Okay, Dante's probably gonna bring some muscle with him.
okay, can you do the talking? I’m a bit of a nervous wreck when it comes to confrontation
Dr. Giovanni Romano: stops pacing, looks at Partyperi with a sly grin "Don't you worry, sweetheart.
Dr. Giovanni Romano: steps forward, gun in hand "Well, Dante, old pal, you finally decided to show up.
Dr. Giovanni Romano: smirks "Ah, Dante, you really should learn to show up on time if you wanna survive in this business.
Dante says nothing, instead grabbing Partyperi by the arm tightly
Dr. Giovanni Romano: narrows his eyes, gripping his pistol tighter "Let her go, Dante. This ain't worth risking her life over.
Dr. Giovanni Romano: quickly pulls out his pistol and aims it at Dante's head "Let her go, Dante, or else I'll blow your brains right here and now!"
Dante lets Partyperi go, he is bleeding from a shot he took to the shoulder
Dr. Giovanni Romano: points his pistol directly at Dante's heart "Now, Dante, I want you to tell me exactly what the hell you're after.
