Bem, você tem um ponto bem válido, então tudo bem eu fico aqui. E você vai sentar aqui também, bem do meu lado. Eu não mordo, já disse. Não precisa ficar com medo. 

Yeah, they’re a little old school, one can say that. Mas acho que a ausência delas tem mais a ver com as duas do que com a família. Lavinia não gosta de eventos desse tipo, assim como eu também não. E Cassandra… eu acho que ela não mora por aqui, não há vejo tem tempos. Por isso boa parte de tudo cai em cima do Nicco- I mean, eu imagino que seja isso o que acontece. Não sei muito sobre os Gambinos.

Infelizmente não, justo hoje eu sai de casa com a bolsa que não tem um baralho. Gosto de como você está pensando nesse momento. Nave have I ever it is, then. You can start.

You call the shots, princess. Só me resta obedecer.

Whoa, great guessing. For a moment I thought you knew way too much about that family... But how would you know?

Alright, let’s do it. Eu nunca... confraternizei com algum Gambino...

[alfredomoretti]

sofialuchese​:

E qual é o problema? Ou você acha que eu seria louca de me jogar? É só você ficar bem perto de mim o tempo todo que não teremos esse perigo. Well, you saved my life that time, so I think he likes you very much. 

Wha- what? Niccolo? I- Nope, it’s a hyp- hypothetical person. No one in particular. And I don’t know about him. Was he there? Didn’t notice.

I would say strip poker, but old plain poker might work too. 

Não acho que você iria se jogar. Mas acho que você está alterada o suficiente pra se desequilibrar... Então sem movimentos bruscos, ok? Senta aí...

Probably the whole clan was there. Though I didn’t see the girls... But that makes sense, I guess the Gambinos are more old school and don’t get their women involved as much.

You don’t have cards on you by any chance, do you? Maybe another game? Is “Never have I ever” too childish? We have the alcohol.

[alfredomoretti]

sofialuchese​:

Não, você é pago para me acompanhar, não é? Então, eu estou aqui, você também. Papa deveria ficar feliz que você está cuidando tão bem da minha segurança. Maybe he can give you a raise, what do you think?

Se ele perguntar por qual motivo saímos de lá, fala que tinha alguém que eu não queria ver e pronto. Well, if the problem is getting drunk with me, we can do other things. Maybe even more fun things. 

Será que eu estou cuidando tão bem da sua segurança deixando você beber no telhado? I think you overestimate how much your father likes me.

Are we talking about a hypothetical person or are we talking about someone in particular? Niccolo Gambino was there, wasn’t he? I think I saw him there.

Such as...? Playing poker?

Viu? Eu disse que ia ser bem mais divertido se a gente saísse daquela festa.

Você deveria fazer o que eu peço mais vezes.

Eu sempre soube que seria mais divertido, Sofi. Mas não estava lá pra me divertir. I’m not paid to have fun.

If your dad finds out I skipped the party to get drunk with you, he’s gonna kill me. E não é força de expressão.

(FB) A tale of two families | Sofredo

@sofialuchese

Se infiltrar em uma organização criminosa exigia mais do que preparação, exigia culhões. Filippo viu colegas que nunca se recuperaram do estresse pós-traumático após operações muito parecidas com aquela que ele estava prestes a fazer parte. Sabia que não seria tarefa fácil, viver cercado de inimigos, sob o constante medo de ser descoberto. Especialmente ao se infiltrar em uma das famílias da Cosa Nostra que não tinham um histórico de piedade com traidores.

Mas Filippo era o candidato perfeito para a missão: filho de imigrantes italianos, conhecia bem a língua e os costumes e sabia como funcionava a hierarquia da máfia italiana. Não esperava que fosse ser fácil ganhar a confiança dos Lucchese, mas se alguém podia fazê-lo, esse alguém era Filippo. 

Passou meses se preparando, cortou previamente o contato com a família e os amigos e assumiu outra identidade. Escolheu o nome do pai: Alfredo Moretti. Era um nome comum o suficiente entre os italo-americanos para não levantar suspeitas e familiar o suficiente para que se sentisse à vontade. Seus superiores passaram a chamá-lo apenas de Alfredo nas semanas que antecederam o início da missão para que Filippo se habituasse à nova identidade. E antes que percebesse, já atendia pelo nome sem pensar duas vezes.

Agora vinha a parte realmente difícil. O FBI arquitetou um plano arriscado para Filippo cair nas boas graças dos Lucchese: sequestrariam a caçula da família se passando pela família rival, os Gambino e Alfredo surgiria bem a tempo de salvar o dia. À essa altura, Filippo já fazia pequenos trabalhos para a família como um associado - a base da estrutura da máfia, abaixo até mesmo dos chamados “soldados”. Mas se continuasse nesse ritmo, levaria uma vida para cumprir sua missão. Se queria desmantelar aquela organização, devia começar pelo topo. 

Filippo colocou munição no tambor da arma e fechou-o com um tapa, esperando sua deixa. Há alguns metros dali, em um depósito abandonado, três agentes do FBI se passavam por criminosos, tentando amedrontar Sofia Lucchese. Quando ouvisse três tiros, deveria entrar para “resgatá-la”. Dessa forma, matariam dois coelhos numa cajadada: colocariam as duas famílias em guerra novamente e conseguiriam a confiança de um membro importante dos Lucchese.

Ha, you’re so funny. Nope, it wasn’t my fault. I’m not the Helen of Troy in this scenario. 

Yeah, I know the basics in this situation. So does my father. And that’s why he always made it very clear to everyone that Mert and Maddie would end up married some day. I think he got lucky that they fell in love when they were younger, it made a lot easier. But now Maddie is gone and… well, I just hope that my dad never think about me and Mert… together… ew… I can’t even think about it myself. Sometimes a dangerous match could be good… What else I can get by asking you nicely?

Well, you have what it takes to be Helen... So if I were you’re father or your husband... I’d be very careful.

Well, who knows, maybe your sister will do the whole Michael Corleone thing where she sees herself as an outsider at first but ends up following in your father’s footsteps. Otherwise, I think there’s a very strong possibility of you marrying Mert someday soon.

Try me...

Gosh, you’re too professional for my own sake. That’s why my father loves keeping you around.

See, I don’t think this is a big problem. Been there, done that and have no problem in doing it again. Mert was born for the job. Like, literally born for it. His family had some business too, so he grew up knowing how to do these things. My dad kinda bought them when Mert’s father lost everything, and he came work with my dad. I think Gaetano always planned for Maddie to take over all the business, but with Mert by her side. So now he has Mert and… me. The one that doesn’t know anything about this business. But sure, I can do dirty… you just have to ask me nicely. Tequila sounds good. Are you drinking with me? I hate drinking alone.

I know you didn’t mean it as a compliment, but I’ll take this.

Whoa! That explains a thing or two. I guess the last mob war we had was thanks to you then. Congratulations, not everyone can piss the Gambino family and make it out alive. Yeah, I know. Mert is good at what he does but you do know that once he takes over lots of men will turn against him, right? It’s kinda like monarchy, if someone outside the royal family takes the power it sparks a civil war. Many caporegimes want this spot and they all think they are more deserving. Tricky matter. One that could only be solved if you or your sister take over the family business. But then again, I’ve heard Mert had history with your sister... I don’t know, wine and tequila sounds like a dangerous match, much like you and I... But if you ask me nicely...

[alfredomoretti]

sofialuchese​:

Well, since you asked… I have a few ideas of what we could do. We can start by leaving this awful party. What do you think?

So it’s just male ego… apparently it’s not my night, huh. No, no, don’t do anything. I’m actully thinking about going over there to have a little chat with him, I bet it would be a very pleasant talk. He wouldn’t do it, he knows I can’t even control my credit card let alone all this… whatever this is. Mert’s the best choice my dad have since Maddie left. I know we’re italian, but is wine the only thing we can drink? There’s nothing… stronger?

You know I can’t leave right now... It’s not every day we get to have all the LCN capos in one room... It’s an event. Your father needs as many men as possible. It’s actually an honor that he considered me for the job. 

Nah, I don’t think that’s such a good idea, you see. Homeboy is Gambino’s in-law. You don’t wanna mess with that family. I don’t know, Mert is a hell of a consigliere. Smart fella. But do you think he has what it takes to get his hands real dirty? I’d put my money on you, Sof... I think you can do dirty when provoked. What do you want? Tequila, whisky?

[alfredomoretti]

sofialuchese​:

Maybe I don’t need it, but I sure want it.

Wait, wait, wait… are you jealous? You know the men from this business, not even a big and hot bodyguard ou something like that is enough to keep them away from anyone. You said it yourself, Al. It’s important to my father, not to me. Oh, so I’m here just to look beautiful, huh? How flattering.

Alright, so now that you have it, what are you planning to do with it?

Not jealous. It’s just that these guys don’t find me scary enough so that hurts my male ego. I’m Italian, for god’s sake. But I could make them sorry they ever laid their eyes on you. You just need to say the word... Well, yes. You do that with such ease. And maybe your father is setting you up to follow in his footsteps. Who knows. Hmm. Good wine, you want me to fetch you some?

[alfredomoretti]

sofialuchese​:

E eu que pensava que conseguia chamar sua atenção em qualquer momento.

Yeah, it’s good. I mean, já estive em algumas melhores, mas essa dá pro gasto também. What about you?

You don’t need my attention. You have all eyes on you already.

Look at that guy... can’t barely keep his eyes from you, the son of a bitch. It’s a bit insulting, really I thought I’d be more intimidating than that but he clearly gives no fucks. Don’t say that, it’s an important occasion for your old man. He’s happy you’re here. Also you’re the perfect distraction for his associates, they don’t even know what the hell they’re agreeing to as long as you’re around.

[alfredomoretti]

@sofialuchese​​

Jesus! Are you serious? Can’t talk right now. Not the time nor the place. I’ll get back to you I-- Gotta go.

Sof, hi! Didn’t see you there. Enjoying the party?
