7Escobar International Airport, Vice City, 2001
A young Caucasian male named Alex Coburn put his suitcase on the luggage mill.
"After 5 years down south, it was time to go home…"
"Alex, it's Toni…" Toni Cipriani said over the phone.
"Hey, Toni. What's the matter?" Alex asked.
"It's Salvatore…He's dead, kid…" Toni told Alex.
Francis International Airport, Liberty City
Alex took his suitcase and halted a taxi. He got in the taxi and drove over to the cemetry where he and Toni had agreed to meet. Once he got to the cemetry, Alex got out of the taxi dressed in his Leone suit and his suitcase in his hand. He walked over to the spot where Salvatore Leone, the recently assassinated Don of the Leone Family was buried. Toni Cipriani, who took over the Family following Salvatore's murder, Joey Leone, Salvatore's son and Underboss of the Family, and made man Luigi Goterelli were at the grave. Alex put down his suitcase and looked at the grave and back at the three men silently.
"Man, I can't believe the Don's gone…" Alex said in disbelief.
"I can't believe it either…" Joey sadly replied.
"How did it happen?" Alex asked.
"Well, we had this new mute kid working for us, but then Salvatore wanted him dead because his wife Maria ran off with him, and then the mute kid shot Salvatore dead…" Toni explained.
"That's terrible…" Alex said.
Toni, Joey and Luigi nodded in agreement.
"So, who's going to lead the Leones now?" Alex asked.
"We decided I'll take over the leadership." Toni said.
Alex nodded.
"Who's Caporegime now?" Alex asked again.
"I bumped Luigi up to the position of Capo." Toni replied.
Alex nodded again.
"Is there anything I can do to help out the family?" He asked.
"Yes, yes, you could help us out. Salvatore's death has partly weakened us, and we could use some hands to keep businesses afloat." Toni told Alex. "If you want to, I could assign you to Luigi's crew, since he's Capo now."
Alex nodded.
"I'll gladly join Luigi's crew." He replied.
"Alright, Luigi, you heard the kid. Can you get him a place to hang his hat?" Toni asked Luigi.
"I know just the place for him, boss." Luigi replied.
"Good. If you need anything, Alex, just give Luigi a call, okay?" Toni told Alex.
"Yes, sir." Alex replied. He and Luigi then left the cemetry and got in Luigi's car. They then drove towards an apartment in Portland.
"There's an apartment in Portland that's not being used. You can have it." Luigi told Alex.
"Thanks, Luigi. That's really nice of you." Alex replied.
"No problem, Alex. I try to give my men good care." Luigi replied. Luigi and Alex then arrived at the apartment and they went inside. Alex looked around.
"Well, it's not much, but it's home." Alex said.
"Indeed. Look, I gotta go, but if you need a job, come by my club, and I'll get you some work." Luigi replied. He then left the apartment. Alex sat down in a chair, rubbing his head.
"Oh, man, Salvatore…" He groaned.
Later, Alex dropped by Luigi's Sex Club for work. He went inside and looked for Luigi.
"Luigi?! You here?!" Alex called.
"Over here!" Luigi called back.
Alex walked over to Luigi's office and entered, closing the door.
"So, anything going on?" Alex asked.
"Yeah, there's something you can do for me. There's two students from the Liberty City Community College, their names are Luna and Summer, who work part time here at the club. If you would be so nice to go and pick them up, then bring them back here, I'll get you some money." Luigi explained to Alex.
"Alright, I'll see what I can do." Alex said as he walked outside to a Mafia Sentinel that was parked there and got in. He then drove out to Liberty Campus on Staunton Island, to the Liberty City Community College. When he got there, he saw a brown haired student wearing a green top with green trousers to match, as well as white sneakers. Next to her stood a curly haired blonde student wearing a white t-shirt and green camo pants with blue shoes with white laces.
"Hey, are you girls Luna and Summer?" Alex asked them.
"Yes, I'm Luna, and she's Summer." The brown haired student replied.
"Did Mr. Goterelli send you?" Summer asked Alex.
"He did. Get in, and I'll give you a ride to the club." Alex told them.
Luna and Summer got in the car and Alex drove back to Luigi's.
"Thank you for giving us this ride, sir. It's better than getting a taxi." Luna commented.
"No problem, young ladies. Happy to drive you." Alex replied.
Alex arrived back at Luigi's club and he, Luna and Summer got out and Luna and Summer walked inside. Luigi came outside.
"Thank you, Alex. Here, some money." Luigi handed Alex $1500.
"Thanks, Luigi." Alex replied.
"No problem, kid. If you need any more work, come back any time." Luigi said as he went inside.
Alex got back in his Mafia Sentinel and drove away. Later, he returned to the club, and went inside Luigi's office once again.
"Ah, Alex, you're back!" Luigi said.
"Yes, I am." Alex replied.
"Good. Look, word on the street is that some new Mafia gang is moving into Saint Mark's, trying to take over our turf. They're called the Sciocchi, and they have some dealers roaming around Saint Mark's. I'd be very grateful if you'd go and take them out." Luigi told Alex.
"Certainly, Luigi, I'll take care of it." Alex said as he left the club to go to Saint Mark's. He got in his Mafia Sentinel and drove there. He then saw one of the Sciocchi's dealers, dealing cocaine. Alex got out of his Mafia Sentinel and walked up to the dealer.
"Hey, are you working for the Sciocchi Family?" Alex asked the dealer.
"Yeah, I am. Who are you working for?" The dealer responded.
"None of your fucking business!" Alex replied as he beat up the dealer. He then went around the block and beat up the rest of the Sciocchi dealers. He then called Luigi.
"Hey, Luigi, all of the Sciocchi dealers in Saint Mark's have been taken care of." Alex told Luigi.
"Okay, I'll have some Leone members leave another $1500 at your apartment. Good job." Luigi said before hanging up.
