"First I thought Nidget died a couple years after I got sent to prison." As always what I really wanted to know is what I got wrong with history. Its a sticking point I forget and remember all the time.
"Faked his death to avoid you, or that's what he told the family." It was so nice to have him drop his mob tough guy act and just tell me straight. Its funny so many people put on appearences to make themselves look tougher when most of the time they are decent or at least not awful people.
"Makes sense although unnecessary from the amount of time I spent in prison." The boss's name was Leland, a call back to the earlier Pavarossi I'd dealt with, I didn't tell him that assuming he either knew, or if he didn't best not to tell him.
"Why did you kill Corine did he piss you off?" Leland had a look in his eyes that told me he didn't kill the guy I was accused of killing either.
"I didn't actually kill him, I literally just fished him up." Leland looked even more depressed now.
"So that means someone is setting up my family for a war," He sighed and I swear to god he started to cry, "You have to help me Trezlan! We can't win against the Tolaci family someone is setting us up!" And now you know how I kind of sort became a mob boss for a bit. I think somewhere Nidget was laughing beyond the grave that I ended up having to run his mob family, though he might have been laughing that there was a mob family anyway. I guess it was a bit of a step down from being an emperor as he always claimed.
Anyway this was one of those wacky adventures when it was all said and done I wished I'd never fished up the dead man to begin with!
