Mob-Times I

At first, there was only one. That one, perhaps you could say she was evil...or maybe even a vigilante. Then, she'd herself be evil. Her name was Alessandra Cadaverini. Of course, she had a younger brother. The boy never talked much. He always thought even when he was young that silence was the best virtue. His name would be another infamous name: Gregorio Cadaverini.



The year was 1929. The Great Depression has hit and the stock market has fallen. Alice and Greg had never been the richest people. They found their food from the garbage and took what others gave them. They eventually, however, found work in a Chicago meat-packaging plant where they lied about their age.



Greg was taller than Alice, but regardless, she was employed because of the need for work. All the trouble started when Greg finally picked his fight.



Greg had always been picked on. Veterans from World War I, scarred. But one never stopped bothering him. His name was Leo. The day it all happened when Leo had a particularly bad night with his wife the earlier evening. Leo had come home drunken and his wife had been worried. She didn't like that--and Leo didn't like her not liking that. He began to beat her. Eventually, the police arrived after hearing the screams. He lied to defend himself, claiming that a mad-man had come into the home and began attacking them.



Greg was not very happy with Leo's taunts, jeers, and assaults. Greg eventually snapped bck at him after Leo's kick. Leo, of course, didn't like that. So his comeback was a back-handed slap to the face. Greg, fed up with the bully, attacked him back. He punched him in the face, grabbed his shirt, kneed him in the groin, and punched with the other hand. To finish his assault, Greg grabbed his collar and pushed him against the slaughter table near him. He took the butcher's knife lying carelessly to the side and chopped off one of Leo's hands. Alice, now noticing what Leo had done, grabbed Greg away and began running off to their appartment. Once there, Alice began to scold Greg. But then she saw the situation in a new light; she saw the skill Greg had with fighting and decided something crucial. She made a decision that would change the future and the course of history.
