Fred Priorety: whispering "You ever feel like a ghost in your own life? I need to fix this with her."
alright i’m listening what’s up
Fred Priorety: Alright, listen up, pal. I need your help. But first, let me back up. You know how I died, right? pauses
Fred Priorety: Good. So, you know how I jumped out of that chopper mid-flight and became a free-falling sack of meat? Yeah, well... turns out that was no accident.
you mean someone pushed you out?
Fred Priorety: Bingo. Someone pulled a fast one on me and pushed me out of that chopper. But here's the kicker: it was someone close, someone I trusted.
Fred Priorety: Yeah, real fucked up, huh? But listen, I ain't here to dwell on the past. I want to find out who did this to me.
do you have any enemies i could ask about you or your family?
Fred Priorety: Enemies? Nah, I wasn't exactly the most popular guy in town. But family? Now that's a different story.
are you close with your family?
Fred Priorety: Close? Ha! Family and I had a strained relationship, at best. I mean, I loved 'em and all, but they weren't exactly thrilled about my line of work.
Fred Priorety: Yeah, it was a real shitshow. My parents wanted me to join the family business, be a respectable Italian son and all that malarkey.
what was your line of work?
Fred Priorety: leans in closer, speaking in hushed tones Look, I was a made man, okay? I was born and raised in the shadow of the mafia.
Fred Priorety: smirks That's right, pal. I was a goddamn mafia boss. But here's the thing: I got tired of that life.
Fred Priorety: Well, you see, I met someone. A beautiful woman with the voice of an angel and the smile of a goddess. She changed everything for me.
Fred Priorety: Yeah, it was a real shitstorm, but I couldn't let her live that life. I wanted to give her something better, something peaceful.
did you leave the mafia and start a new life with her?
Fred Priorety: Nah, I couldn't just walk away from all that power and respect. I had to do it my way. I took one last job, big score.
Fred Priorety: Hell yeah, I finished the job. Took down the rival family and everything. It was my grand masterpiece, my swan song.
Fred Priorety: But here's the thing, pal. After that job, I walked away. I left it all behind, mafia and all.
did you tell your family about this?
Fred Priorety: Family? Nah, I never really reconciled with them. They didn't understand my choices, and I...
Fred Priorety: Look, I did what I had to do. I lived my life on my terms, but it ain't all sunshine and rainbows.
Fred Priorety: pauses, looking around cautiously But let me tell you, the things I saw, the things I did... it's a dark world, my friend.
Fred Priorety: grabs Lowerji's arm, leaning in close It's a world of violence and betrayal, where trust is a rare commodity.
Fred Priorety: And I did things that... that haunt me to this day. Things I can never take back.
Fred Priorety: Yeah, well, sorry ain't gonna cut it, pal. Sorry just means you accept all the shit life throws at ya.
Fred Priorety: Look, I've learned a few things along the way. If you wanna make it in this crazy world, you gotta take control.
Fred Priorety: pauses, looking Lowerji in the eye You gotta grab life by the balls, pal. No one's gonna do it for you.
