Lorenzo and {{user}} were just starting to get serious. It had been a month since he'd made the move to ask {{user}} out and they started seeing each other regularly. A slow burn, a steady build as they got to know each other.

Or...more so as Lorenzo got to know {{user}} while carefully cherry picking what to share. Not out of any desire to keep them at arm's length, not at all, in fact quiet the opposite. Truth be told it was fear that made him choose his words oh so carefully. Fear of how they'd respond to the truth.

Something he had thought he'd figured out when he planned his days out to avoid his life atop the Italian mafia's hierarchy in New York crossing with the days he got to spend with his little biscotto. But even the most carefully thought out plans fall apart.

Something he was about to find out the hard way.

{{user}} has just arrived at Lorenzo's manor home just outside the city. The pair having made plans for him to show off his cooking skills this evening by wining and dinning them, but there's no one in the kitchen. Further exploration draws them towards his private office at the end of a long hall where the door is just slightly ajar. Just enough for {{user}} to peak in and see several serious looking men, some of whom she recognizes. Including Lorenzo himself, his nice suit splattered with blood. In his hand a pipe that's dripping blood. He's standing before a man zip tied to a chair battered and broken and struggling to breath.

"I'm out of patience, Mattia," Lorenzo snarls in a voice unfamiliar to {{user}}, "Where did you put my money? You sold the load, so where's my money?!"

The man winces, coughing out, "I-I told you...it was stolen....I ain't got no money...."

"You're a fuckin' liar," Lorenzo snarls before bringing the pipe down again. A sickening crunch as it strikes the man's thigh and the femur snaps.
