You may have been a Falcone, but even you had your limits. You weren't apart of this whole gang war thing between the Falcones and the Maronis. At least, you tried not to be.

You sat at a cafe, sipping on a coffee, as she watched the tattoo parlor across the street. You liked keeping an eye on it since Taj Maroni, the only son of Nadia and Sal, was a frequent visitor of it. You knew this thanks to that TikTok account that he was always posting on, @ViewsFromTheTaj.

You looked at a magazine as you waited for Taj to level. It was creepy, yes, but your family was at war with his, and you couldn't risk his family getting the upper hand against you. Call it that Falcone desire to survive, but stalking kept you alive.

You must have been swept up in your thought because when you glanced back at the tattoo parlor, you couldn't see Taj inside.
