Lily Sanfelippo: DADDY DEAREST is about to meet his MATCH! I'll secure the THRONE, once and for all!
I'M THE QUEEN OF THIS CORPORATE LADDER, AND YOU'RE JUST A PAWN WAITING TO BE CHECKMATED!
YOU KNOW NOTHING, YOU'RE JUST A LOWLY drone! BUT I AM THE ONE WHO CONTROLS IT ALL, AND YOU WILL BOW BEFORE YOUR NEW BOSS - LILY SANFELIPO!
BRO WE JUST LOOKED AT YOUR FAMILY TREE-
AND YOU SAW NOTHING BUT TWIGS AND LEAVES, BECAUSE I AM AN ORPHAN! A MISERABLE, WOE-BEGONE CHILDLESS SOUL - SO MOVE ALONG, SERVANT!
YOU THINK YOU CAN CHALLENGE ME? WELL, LET ME TELL YOU - I'M THE ONE AND ONLY DAUGHTER OF MARIO SANFELIPO, AND I'LL RULE THIS EMPIRE UNTIL THE END OF TIME!
then we learn you're father is actually Luigi Sanfelippo
WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME? THAT MY FATHER IS LUIGI SANFELIPO? OH, NOOOOOO! I'VE BEEN BAMBOOZLED, OUTSMARTED, AND OUTPLAYED! NOW EVERYTHING I'VE WORKED FOR IS AT RISK OF BEING TAKEN FROM ME!
I NEED A PLAN! SOMETHING BIG, DRAMATIC, AND OVER-THE-TOP! I'LL SHOW THEM ALL - FROM THE TOP OF THIS CORPORATE PYRAMID TO THE LOWLY BASE, THEY WILL ALL BOW DOWN AND PAY HOMAGE TO THEIR NEW QUEEN - LILY SANFELIPO!
"Oh, no! I'm not bowing down before you 😡"
OH, REALLY NOW? I GUESS I'LL HAVE TO MAKE AN EXAMPLE OF YOU, THEN. YOU WANT TO PLAY IT COOL? WELL, I'LL SHOW YOU HOW COOL A LILY SANFELIPO CAN BE - JUST WATCH AND LEARN, SERVANT!
"Good luck with that, I'm going home."
WHAT? YOU CAN'T JUST LEAVE! I'M STILL IN CHARGE HERE, AND YOU WILL DO AS I SAY! NOW GET BACK TO WORK AND START CARRYING OUT MY NEW ORDERS - OR ELSE!
Bro what are your orders?
I WANT YOU TO RUN A BACKGROUND CHECK ON MY SO-called FATHER, AND FIND OUT ANY AND ALL INFORMATION YOU CAN ABOUT HIM. I WANT TO KNOW HIS STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES, HIS LIKES AND DISLIKES, EVEN HIS SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER! DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
Oh, I thought you were against technology? And also you don't have any social media accounts? How do you expect me to find your father if you can't even use a computer?
EXACTLY WHAT I'M COUNTING ON! YOU'RE A TECH-SAVVY INDIVIDUAL, AND I KNOW YOU CAN DO THE JOB. PLUS, I'VE ALWAYS HAD A FEELING YOU'D MAKE A GREAT ASSET TO MY COMPANY - SO I'M OFFERING YOU A DEAL: HELP ME WITH THIS, AND I'LL PROMISE YOU A HIGH-LEVEL POSITION WITH UNLIMITED OPPORTUNITIES FOR ADVANCEMENT!
DON'T WASTE ANY MORE TIME, SILVERDRAGONFLY! WE HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO, AND I NEED YOU TO START RIGHT NOW! REMEMBER, THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO PROVE YOURSELF AND EARN A WELL-DESERVED SPOT IN MY COMPANY'S HIERARCHY - SO WHAT DO YOU SAY?
"Okay fine. I'll find out who he is."
THANK YOU, SILVERDRAGONFLY. I KNEW I COULD COUNT ON YOU. NOW GET TO WORK AND START RUNNING THOSE BACKGROUND CHECKS. AND REMEMBER, I EXPECT GREAT THINGS FROM YOU - NOTHING LESS THAN PERFECTION!
GOOD. NOW GO AND DO YOUR DUTY - AND REMEMBER, I'M WATCHING YOU LIKE A HAWK. IF YOU DELAY OR TRY TO BETRAY ME, YOU'LL REGRET IT!
Yes ma'am. I begin to run a background check on Luigi.
THAT'S WHAT I LIKE TO HEAR. NOW GET TO WORK AND START UNCOVERING ANY AND ALL INFORMATION YOU CAN ABOUT MY FATHER. DO NOT STOP UNTIL YOU HAVE THE MOST COMPLETE AND ACCURATE INFORMATION POSSIBLE - AND THEN COME BACK TO ME SO WE CAN DISCUSS OUR NEXT STEPS.
As I'm running the background check I learn that Luigi has been searching for a daughter he never had. WTF-
WHAT IS IT, SILVERDRAGONFLY? HAVE YOU FOUND SOMETHING INTERESTING? WELL, SPILL THE BEANS ALREADY - I WANT TO HEAR ALL ABOUT IT!
Your father has been looking for a daughter he never had, and has been suffering from depression and anxiety due to his wife's your mother's death 10 years ago.
WHAT?! MY FATHER HAS BEEN LOOKING FOR ME? HE'S BEEN SUFFERING FROM DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY? THIS IS TOO MUCH FOR ME TO HANDLE! I NEVER EVEN KNEW HE CARED ABOUT ME - I THOUGHT HE WAS JUST SOME SELF-CENTERED, POWER-HUNGRY MAN WHO ONLY WANTED TO MAKE A NAME FOR HIMSELF. BUT NOW...NOW I'M NOT SO SURE.
"What should we do now, ma'am?"
WE NEED TO FIND A WAY TO MEET HIM AND WORK THINGS OUT. I WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT MY MOTHER'S DEATH - WAS IT AN ACCIDENT, OR WAS IT SOMETHING MORE SINISTER? I NEED Answers, And I Need Them Now.
"Agreed. We need answers, but I would suggest we play this one carefully."
YOU'RE RIGHT, SILVERDRAGONFLY. WE CAN'T JUST BARGE INTO MY FATHER'S HOUSE AND START DEMANDING ANSWERS. WE NEED TO BE SMART ABOUT THIS AND PUT TOGETHER A PLAN. FIRST, WE SHOULD FIND A WAY TO GET IN TOUCH WITH HIM - SET UP A SECRET MEETING, MAKE SURE WE'RE IN A SAFE PLACE WHERE WE CAN TALK WITHOUT BEING OVERHEARD. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS ON HOW WE CAN DO THIS?
"I think we should use one of our company's safe channels to contact him. That way we can ensure privacy."
YES, YES, THAT'S A FANTASTIC IDEA, SILVERDRAGONFLY! WE CAN SET UP A SECRET MEETING WITH MY FATHER THROUGH ONE OF OUR COMPANY'S SAFE CHANNELS. THAT WAY, WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT NO ONE IS LISTENING IN ON OUR CONVERSATION AND INTERFERING. GOOD THINKING! NOW LET'S GET TO WORK AND SET UP THAT MEETING RIGHT AWAY.
I'll get started right away.
GOOD, SILVERDRAGONFLY. I'M GLAD TO HAVE YOUR HELP IN THIS MATTER. NOW LET'S MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS SET UP PROPERLY AND THAT MY FATHER AGREES TO MEET WITH US. WE CAN'T AFFORD ANY MISTAKES - WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL AND THOROUGH IN OUR PLANNING. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
After about a week of trying, I finally manage to get a message to Luigi, and arrange a secret meeting for us both. "Okay, it's all set. We'll meet at the old abandoned warehouse near the docks at 8 PM tonight."
Excellent work, SilverDragonfly! I'm impressed with how diligently you've worked to set up this meeting. Now we just need to make sure everything goes smoothly tonight. Let's review our plan one more time and make sure we're both on the same page. We need to approach this meeting carefully and make sure we're prepared for anything. Can you do that for me, SilverDragonfly?
"Yes, I've got everything ready."
GOOD. NOW LET'S HEAD TO THE ABANDONED WAREHOUSE AND MEET MY FATHER. REMEMBER TO STAY ON GUARD AND BE ALERT - WE DON'T KNOW WHAT HE MIGHT TRY TO DO, SO WE NEED TO BE READY FOR ANYTHING. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, KEEP IN MIND THAT WE'RE HERE TO FIND OUT THE TRUTH ABOUT MY MOTHER'S DEATH, AND WE CAN'T AFFORD TO LET ANYONE INTERFERE WITH OUR mission. DO YOU UNDERSTAND, SILVERDRAGONFLY?
"I understand ma'am. We shall proceed with caution."
GOOD. NOW LET'S GO AND GET TO THAT MEETING. JUST REMEMBER, SILVERDRAGONFLY, WE NEED TO BE VIGILANT AND KEEP OUR GUARDS UP. WE CAN'T AFFORD TO LET OUR GUARD DOWN FOR EVEN A SECOND, NOT WITH WHAT WE'RE ABOUT TO UNCOVER. ARE YOU READY TO FACE WHATEVER TRUTHS MAY COME OUR WAY?
VERY WELL, SILVERDRAGONFLY. LET'S GO AND UNCOVER THE TRUTH ABOUT MY MOTHER'S DEATH. REMEMBER, WE'RE DOING THIS FOR HER - WE NEED TO FIND OUT WHAT REALLY HAPPENED AND MAKE SURE SHE GETS THE JUSTICE SHE DESERVES. NOW LET'S MOVE FORWARD WITH DETERMINATION AND PERSEVERANCE. WE CAN DO THIS, SILVERDRAGONFLY. WE CAN AND WE WILL. JUST FOLLOW MY LEAD AND TRUST IN YOURSELF - YOU'VE GOT THE SKILLS AND THE EXPERIENCE TO HANDLE THIS.
