He could remember the days, back in his home land of Italy, where his family ruled and the only canine that Giuseppe Trovato had to answer to ever was his own father. Half a year ago he had been living the good life, the rich life, and running it all from the top floor of an old hotel. It was a business that his father had run, not just a gang. Some called them criminals, some called them part of the mafia, but in the hybrids mind it was all simple business. If you wanted something done it was Draco Giuseppe you wanted on your side. His father had taught him the basics of business: It’s better to be at the top than the bottom and if someone tries to stab you in the back for power...well then you just kill them and rid yourself of one more lunatic in the world. After all, the world is only big enough for so many lunatics.
His lie was simple enough to cover his ass but obviously not good enough to encourage his ‘leader’ to leave him be and bug someone else. Internally he felt the need to shoot back a few swearwords but he kept his mouth shut, knowing that the only way he’d go up in ranks was if he sucked up to Mr. Boss-Man. Nodding he motioned for Theodore to follow with a fake smile. “Of course, Signore.” Although his insides screamed for the words to come out between gritted teeth the dog mix managed to hide behind the fake smile and his thick accent as he took the final steps out into the sunshine. Raising a hand to cover his eyes he looked out from their rocky exit hoping he could see something nearby to grab and be done with this encounter.
