ALESSANDRO, AKA DON VALENTINO. I lean back in my office chair, trying to piece the puzzle I had absolutely no idea I was attempting to solve. Maverick, Roman and Gio. I knew there was something odd about Gio. When he first came to me, asking me to join the famiglia, I was hesitant at first because he wasn’t able to give me a back story of his famiglia. He spoke little Italian, and he told me it was because he was adopted. After learning that he formerly worked for a large security corporation that offered highly trained bodyguards for mega stars staying in the country for work. I turned to Riccardo for a second opinion, and he advised me that it wouldn’t hurt to have someone with his credentials join our famiglia. Maybe I should have overlooked Gios’ sob story and done a deep dive
