Russo Origin Pt 2

Russo was in a car with Donny and making their way to the Russo Family mansion. Russo was looking nervous as Donny was driving the car, while noticing Russo play with a coin.

"What made you change your mind?" Donny asked.

"I don't know. I guess I just want some closure. I've always had that question stick in the back of my head ever since I was little. Why…Why did they abandon me? You know?" Russo asked.

"Not really. I had parents who loved me." Said Donny, jokingly.

"Yeah, screw you too, boss." Said Russo.

"I'm joking. But I kinda get ya. I'd probably have the same question stuck in my head too. But remember, kid. No matter what happens. I'm here for you. Because bond is thick than blood. Am I right?" Said Donny.

"Right." Russo replied.

They soon parked and got out of the car and walked to the front door as it open. There were men guarding the mansion as they reached the grand foyer. Donny stood with Russo as they saw little boy run around them and ran off as Russo stared at him, wondering if he's his little brother. A boy who looked 13 and a girl who looked 15 years of age walked down and noticed Russo, but ignored him as they went to another room. Russo didn't know how to respond as he put his hands in his pocket, until a woman well-dressed and smoking was walking down the stairs. She saw Russo and Donny as she stopped to breath out smoke.

"Are you Adamo's Capo, Conte?" The woman asked.

"Yes, Mrs. Russo. Is Mr. Russo here?" Donny asked.

"He is. Come and follow me. He's in the backyard." Said Mrs. Russo.

They both followed her to the backyard as it was fancy and big. A huge backyard with many patio furniture and a bar as they saw Mr. Russo reading the paper, while drinking alcohol.

"Angelo, they're here." Said Mrs. Russo.

"Thank you, Cecile." Said Angelo.

Angelo stood up and turned towards them as he looked straight at Russo. Russo was very anxious and nervous as Angelo approached him. They both didn't look alike.

"Mr. Russo, it's an honor to meet you again, sir." Said Donny.

"Likewise, Donny. You've been a good man to my family. Since Adamo lends some of his men to help me." Said Angelo.

"Well, no offense to Adamo. But he doesn't have the best luck when it comes to betting." Donny chuckled.

"(Chuckles) No, he does not. And is this him?" Angelo asked.

"Yes, sir. This is Giovanni Russo." Said Donny.

"He took our family name?" Cecile asked.

"It's my name and don't get too upset. But I'm sure you're here for answers. So go ahead, young man. Ask away." Said Russo as he poured out drinks for them.

"It's okay, kid. Ask." Said Donny as he sat down.

"Do you know who my mother is?" Russo asked.

"Her name was Catarina Luca. She was just a girl I meet and slept with. She was a beautiful young lady, who I met in my younger days. One day, she came up to me and showed me you. She wanted me to take you in, but as you can see. We look nothing alike. Different hair, eyes, face. Hell, looks. There was no way you were my kid. But not until recently, Donny showed me the result of the DNA test. I am your father." Said Angelo.

"Do you know happened to her?" Russo asked.

"Last thing I heard of her. She skipped town. I guess she abandoned you." Said Angelo.

"Since I'm your son, what happens?" Russo asked.

"What? You want to be a part of my family? Take your place at my side?" Angelo asked.

"What!?" Cecile responded, furious as she stood.

"That doesn't sound bad." Said Russo.

"Easy, Cecile. But alright. From what I've heard you gone through; you deserve that at least." Said Angelo.

"But I don't want it." Said Russo.

"Pardon?" Angelo replied as he and Cecile were surprised.

"I don't want to be a part of your family. I don't care about the status or the power it comes with. I just don't want to be around the guy who abandon me, because I didn't look like his ugly mug." Said Russo as Donny got nervous.

"(Chuckles) Okay, I'll give you that on, kid. But the next time, I'm gonna have to haze ya. First and only warning." Said Angelo.

"Understood, Mr. Russo." Said Russo.

"But I do want know what happened to her. My mother. Find that out and we're even. I'll never come back unless I have to work under you someday." Said Russo.

"Fair enough. I'll find out. You have my word." Said Angelo.

It would be later that day as Donny dropped Russo at the college. Russo was on the sidewalk, while Donny was in the car. Meanwhile, there was someone tailing them as they kept their distance and stayed out of sight.

"You okay, kid? You did say a word on the way here." Said Donny.

"Yeah. It wasn't what I expected. But at least I can find out what happened to my mom. And why he abandoned me." Said Russo.

"They'll find. Russo keeps to his word. But I gotta get going. I got work to do. You take care and stay out of trouble." Said Donny.

"I should say that to you. Since the police is on your ass. See ya." Said Russo.

Donny drove off as Russo went into the university and asked the staff, professors or students around for Wilhelm Steiner. He soon got directions to his own lab room and found Jane sitting next to Wilhelm as they were eating together. Russo knocked on the doorway as they both turned around; both giving different reactions.

"Giovanni! I-I mean, Russo. I'm happy to see you! What bring you here?" Steiner asked.

"Yes, what brings you here?" Jane asked.

"I found out about some personal in life. And I remember you saying the study science-y stuff. Do you know anything about why we turn out the way we look? Do you know that kind of crap?" Russo asked.

"Wow, you really are uneducated." Said Jane.

"Thanks for reminding me that I'm poor idiot who grew up on the street. I can see why Wilhelm likes keeping you around." Said Russo as Jane got annoyed.

"Now, now. Let's change the conversation. But I think you wish to know about genetics and how we inherit certain genes from our parents, right?" Steiner asked.

"Yeah, I think." Russo replied.

"Try dumbing it down for him, Wilhelm. I don't think his inferior mind can handle big words." Said Jane.

"Well, you're not wrong." Russo admitted, quietly.

"Huh? What was that?" Jane asked with a smirk.

"Steiner, tell me why I have this kind of hair color?" Russo asked.

"Ah, that is easy. We all gain genes or traits of our parents, grandparents or even ancestors. It's based off a probabilities. This hair may be a rare trait that you got from an ancestor. Which may explain why. If I may have your permission, could I get some DNA samples from you? I could find out more about you. Since you do have a well-built body. Don't you agree, Jane?" Steiner asked.

"Yeah, Jane. What do you think?" Russo asked.

"Shall I take out his blood, while you get other samples?" Jane asked, grabbing a needle.

"Whoa, put that down." Said Russo.

It was moments later as Steiner got different DNA samples from Russo, while Jane was getting a blood sample. Russo took off his shirt and only had a tank top on as Jane looked at his body. He had scars of different kind and how muscularly lean he was as she blushed.

"Alright, let's do this? Are you listen?" Russo asked.

"Y-Yes. Can't you hear? I think there's a fly in here." Jane replied, clearing her throat.

"Sure. Just don't kill me." Said Russo.

"What? Scared of needles?" Jane asked.

"Not really. I find knives scarier. You've done this before?" Russo asked.

"I'm studying to be a nurse. So, yes. I've done this before." Said Jane.

She took some blood out of him as she was surprised he didn't complain or make noise.

"And you're done." Said Jane.

"Great." Said Russo, putting his clothes back on.

"Thank you, Russo. Not too many people are willing to do this. But I promise to show you what I found in these samples." Said Steiner.

"Sounds like a plan. And sorry if I interrupted your little breakfast." Said Russo.

"Join us! We have food to spare, right, Jane?" Steiner asked.

"(Sighs) It would be rude not to offer. And you did give Steiner samples of your DNA. So would you like some breakfast?" Jane asked, glancing to her side.

"Yeah, sure." Russo replied.

The three of them ate together as they talked and got to know each other better. Russo soon got up and got his things.

"We should do this more often." Said Russo.

"Yes, my friend. Come by tomorrow or whenever, Russo." Said Wilhelm.

"Alright. You have a great day, Wilhelm. You too, Jane." Said Russo as he winked at her.

"Bye, my friend! It was wonderful having him around. Don't you agree?" Said Steiner.

"(Chuckles) He wasn't that bad." Said Jane.

Russo was walking out of the university, while the men who were tailing got out of their car and followed him. Russo walks into an alleyway as the men follow him, while pulling out revolvers and aims at Russo. But Russo had disappeared as they were confused and moved down the alleyway. Russo was hiding behind a garbage can, while holding a lid in his hand. Once they were close, Russo hurled the lid at one of the men's face. The other man aimed his gun at Russo, but he moved fast and punched the man in the face. He knocked the man out as he turned to the other man and saw him pointing his gun at Russo's chest. The man fired his gun as Russo did his best to dodge the bullet as he leaned to his left and side turning. The bullet grazed against his clothes and chest as rammed his fist into the man. The man stumbled into one of the alleyway walls as Russo pinned him and twisting his arm to drop the gun.

"Who sent you?" Russo asked.

He then got a good look at the man and remembered seeing him as one of Russo mansion. He was one of the guards as Russo grabbed him from his throat and tightened his grip.

"You better tell me what's going or I'm going to choke it out of you!" Russo yelled.

It would be moments later as Russo arrived at the Russo mansion in the guards car. He had their guns as he had a pistol hidden in his coat pocket. They both got out of the car as Cecile noticed they had arrived as she was waiting for them in the grand foyer. She was about to approach them, until she saw Russo walked behind them.

"Guards!" Cecile shouted.

The other guards stopped and aimed their guns at Russo as he drew out the pistols he had in his pocket and aimed it at the men's heads.

"Anyone shoots, I'll blow these two heads off." Said Russo.

"Never send incompetent fools to kill off a son of a whore." Said Cecile.

"What the hell is going on!?" Angelo asked as he walked in.

"Tell them, boys. Tell them how you were going to kill me and how you were ordered by that old hag. I want to know why the hell you put a hit me!?" Russo yelled.
