<span style="color: #FF0000">"So you've finally come."<br/><br/>Alessandro stepped into the light, looking at the back of the man in front of him, who was in complete shadow.<br/><br/>"You knew I would. I'd like it if you turned around, though," Alessandro said.<br/><br/>For a moment, there was silence. Then, the chair slowly swiveled around, and the face of the aging man came into view. <br/><br/>"I've been the boss for more than twenty years, Alessandro. I'd ask you to consider your decision more carefully. Do you think you could lead us as good as I have throughout those years?"<br/><br/>Alessandro sighed.<br/><br/>"By now, even you should see that you're not a real leader anymore. I don't want to do this, I really don't. You're not leaving me with much of a choice, though."<br/><br/>With those words, Alessandro drew a pistol from his belt and cocked it, pointing at the man in front of him, whose only reaction was to look impassively on.<br/><br/>"Goodbye, father."<br/><br/>The gun shot reverberated throughout the mansion, alerting everyone inside to an accident that no one could have foreseen. Maids came rushing in, as well as a horde of bodyguards. When they saw the dead body of Alessandro's father, with Alessandro himself standing over it, gun in hand, they had a reaction that many might not have expected. Sighs of relief escaped their bodies. For many years now, their illustrious leader had turned into a tyrant of sorts, making everyone's lives under his command a living hell. He had risen to the top rank in glory and ended his days universally hated, but Alessandro knew that this was not the whole story. His father had had very certain motivations for doing everything he did, and Alessandro was convinced that they were for the good of the organization. His days, however, had needed to come to an end.<br/><br/>"Take care of this mess. Everyone, you answer to me now," he said to the room at large, walking out of the room and into the balcony. Leaning against the railing, he stared out at the ocean, contemplating the new change in the order of things as he served himself a glass of vodka.</span>
