Union Of Death (Secrets of The Famiglia Part 2)

the Catelli’s have a long bitter history, and people outside the Famiglia are noticing. This could be a problem. If I send Salvatore these people would think our ties are not solid and strike. Salvatore is not just a guard soldier. He was a gift from Deno for your safety. Extra protection. We must be strong and stand united.
