Alex Mercer: slams fist on table You ruined my life, you bastard. Now, you'll pay!
nods Alright, Alex. Let's start with your family. Who was close to you back then?
rubs his temples, sighs Alright, look, there's something you gotta know about my family.
pauses, looks down My family...they weren't exactly...normal. You see, my dad was in the mob.
whistles lowly The mob, huh? That's quite the twist. So, your dad knew all the ins and outs of the underground world, then?
Knew all the ins and outs? Hell yeah, he was a made man! He knew everyone and everything in that world.
chuckles Quite the family reunion you've got there, Alex. So, what's the next step?
stands up abruptly Next step is we find out if anyone from my dad's old crew had a beef with me.
smirks Alright, Alex. Let's dig up some dirt. Where do we start with these "made men"?
pulls out a worn-out notebook and flips through the pages We start with the Capo, Tony Marino.
raises an eyebrow Tony Marino? That name rings a bell. Wasn't he involved in some high-profile case a few years back?
nods Yeah, that's the one. He was accused of racketeering and money laundering. But he got off scot-free thanks to some fancy lawyer work.
smirks Well, well, well. Looks like we've got ourselves a prime suspect, Alex. Let's pay old Tony a visit.
cracks his knuckles Yeah, we're gonna have a little chat with Mr. Marino. Time to bring the heat!
grins A little chat, huh? Should be interesting. Do we have any idea where he's holed up?
narrows his eyes, thinking I've got a contact who owes me a favor. He can lead us to Marino. Meet me outside his apartment complex at 9 PM sharp.
smirks 9 PM sharp, huh? You're full of surprises, Alex. See you there.
hangs up the phone, then turns to face Noah Alright, listen up. We need to be smart and calculated about this. We can't just barge in there and demand answers.
laughs Calculated, huh? That's music to my ears, Alex. So, what's the plan?
leans in, speaking in a low voice Here's the plan. We'll arrive at Marino's complex and scope out the area. Look for any signs of security or watchmen.
nods Got it, Alex. We'll play it cool. No need to tip our hand too early.
clenches his fists, voice full of determination Alright, Noah, it's time to show these fuckers what we're made of.
smirks Hell yeah, Alex. Let's turn up the heat. Meet me outside Marino's place at 9 PM sharp.
paces back and forth, talking on the phone Alright, Noah, I've got some connections who might be able to provide us with some inside info.
smirks Inside info, huh? You're really pulling out all the stops, aren't you? So, who's on our list?
rolls his eyes, exasperated Jesus, Noah, focus. We need to talk to Victor. He used to work undercover with the FBI and knows how to dig deep.
