Sunday November 7th
Palermo, Sicily
Pazzini residence.
Vincenzo Riina stood there, the big man at the door watching the two sisters, one sitting up in the bed with a neck brace on, the family doctor, a handpicked professional who had looked after the Pazzinis for years had just left and Vincenzo had made sure the old man was far enough away before nodding at Isabella that it was safe for them to speak.
ISABELLA PAZZINI
Let’s be honest, this situation is pretty dire. Nico has been AWOL ever since Revolution, and he’s not answering his damn phone. Camilla can’t even travel to this week’s show and may not be cleared to compete for at least a couple months. Ursula Von Rossbach is becoming more of a problem than I expected, and the last thing I need is Nico running wild with God knows whom doing God knows what. If he’s anything less than laser focused, we’re gonna have two Pazzinis laid up in bed by the end of the week.
Camilla grunts.
CAMILLA PAZZINI
He’s screwed either way. I couldn’t take her down, like he has a chance. You’re sending him to the gallows, just like you sent me.
ISABELLA PAZZINI
I sent nobody, you called out UVR while I was still being helped to the back.
CAMILLA PAZZINI
I was cleaning up your mess.
ISABELLA PAZZINI
What mess? All I did was win by hitting her with a bellhammer. I’ve done that to like a hundred people, they don’t usually turn into a complete psychopath. It’s like a fun little running gag.
CAMILLA PAZZINI
Yes, well I don’t think robots have the same sense of humour as you.
ISABELLA PAZZINI
I thought she was a cyborg?
CAMILLA PAZZINI
I don’t give a fuck if she’s Peppa fucking Pig, she DELIBERATELY injured me. I didn’t do a damn thing to provoke or warrant that. It’s YOU she wants.
ISABELLA PAZZINI
She hospitalized an old man a couple of days ago. I think she just likes injuring people.
CAMILLA PAZZINI
Yeah? So does Vincenzo! He’s not running amok taking apart everyone, is he?!
ISABELLA PAZZINI
Nope, that’s why HE is a CHAMPION, isn’t that right Vincent?
The two look at the big man at the door who doesn’t even flinch.
CAMILLA PAZZINI
He terrifies the shit out of me when he’s like that, you know. Does he even breathe?
ISABELLA PAZZINI
Only when he chooses to do so.
Camilla reaches for some pain pills, pops a few and grunts.
ISABELLA PAZZINI
You should probably watch it with those sis..
Her sister glares back
CAMILLA PAZZINI
Yeah? Let me get YOUR fucking neck in a brace and we’ll see if you stick to prescription dosage, besides what does that old billygoat even know about modern medicine.
She grumbled then looking at Vincenzo.
CAMILLA PAZZINI
You know..what if he took that belt of his and caved in Ursula’s skull? Hmm? Since he likes hurting people can’t you sick HIM to do it?
Bella gasps in mock horror.
ISABELLA PAZZINI
Camilla! He has a championship match THIS WEEK, how is he supposed to defend the title against Reno Nevada if they strip it off him for an unsolicited attack on UVR?
CAMILLA PAZZINI
SHE COULD HAVE KILLED ME!
The elder sister dismisses it with a wave of her hand.
ISABELLA PAZZINI
Get over yourself will ya drama queen? You’ll be fine. Besides, you are used to sitting on your ass letting others do all the work.
Camilla grumbled. Again.
CAMILLA PAZZINI
Yeah? Well you don’t have a tag team partner for Revolution 2 now. So enjoy that I guess. We’ll see how your legendary ass copes 1 on 2. I’ll be watching intently, popping my pain pills and crying inside.
ISABELLA PAZZINI
That’s fine. Vincent will have my back.
CAMILLA PAZZINI
He has a title defense, you can’t expect him to wrestle earlier in the night.
ISABELLA PAZZINI
Fine. Nico then.
CAMILLA PAZZINI
The kid’s facing UVR, hasn’t he got enough problems?!
ISABELLA PAZZINI
You sure you couldn’t wrestle, what if we get you all doped up on horse tranqs or some shit, I know people and..
CAMILLA PAZZINI
Gee, normally I’d be doing cartwheels for a chance to do THAT but you know, gotta watch my prescription dosage with these happy pills.
Isabella started to look rather concerned as Cammie nabbed a few more pills.
ISABELLA PAZZINI
Erm... fuck.
CAMILLA PAZZINI
I could ask Ricky for you.
Isabella beamed.
ISABELLA PAZZINI
Ricky! Yes! He’d be my first choice!
CAMILLA PAZZINI
UH-HUH. One condition though. You don’t judge my medication and get me a case of wine before you leave.
ISABELLA PAZZINI
Uh... I don’t think you’re supposed to drink alcohol with those...
CAMILLA PAZZINI
I don’t think you’re supposed to face a dangerous tag team on your little old lonesome either, do you? HAHA...OW!!!
Camilla got a little too happy at her own “checkmate” and noticeably hurt her neck. Isabella chuckled.
ISABELLA PAZZINI
Fine, you have a deal. I’ll get you screw cap bottles, I doubt you could manage a corkscrew with that neck.
CAMILLA PAZZINI
Charming. But wait a minute, how are you gonna play off teaming with Ricky? You’ve told everyone that we’re not associated with TRINACRIA, because you wanna pretend like you’re a little goody two shoes who loves the fans.
Isabella sighs.
ISABELLA PAZZINI
We’re fighting a common foe, right? So it makes sense we’d stand together. You know, like a faction.
CAMILLA PAZZINI
Oh JESUS CHRIST not another bloody faction... what is it with you and factions?
ISABELLA PAZZINI
I haven’t formed a faction in like a decade!
CAMILLA PAZZINI
Whatever, I’m not going to be there for a while, if you can talk the boys in, go for it. Time’s ticking though, you need to get out to Reno, and I’m still waiting for my case of wine. See if you can find Nico.
ISABELLA PAZZINI
Good point. Will you be okay?
CAMILLA PAZZZINI
When I have my wine, yes. I’ll put a call into Ricky, let him know the plan.
ISABELLA PAZZINI
Thanks. Oh, and Camilla?
CAMILLA PAZZINI
Yeah?
ISABELLA PAZZINI
Please don’t tell him I picked you on horse tranquilizers before him?
Camilla chuckles.
CAMILLA PAZZINI
I’ve spent three years trying to build the boy’s ego, your secret is safe with me.
Isabella smirked, before walking across to the big man.
ISABELLA PAZZINI
Vincent, time to get ready for our flight. And get one of the grunts to fetch Miss Camilla’s wine, please.
He nodded and opened the door when they heard Camilla’s slurring holler
CAMILLA PAZZINI
Yeah get going you lousy son of a bitches..I gotta get my Vilaro System set done for the day! I’ll be back in the ring spearing bitches faster than Nico sniffs out trashy strippers!
Vincenzo closes the door and Isabella grumbles.
ISABELLA PAZZINI
If she stays on that system when we get back, I’m getting her to rehab..what a stupid useless git, faster than Nico smells..huh..
She claps her hands together.
ISABELLA PAZZINI
Vincenzo, fetch the Lambo, I know where my nephew is! Let’s get going Champ, we got business at hand!
With that the two head downstairs and onward to Reno
