His eyes were furious and I could see the vains in his hand, holding back the smack he wanted to lay on me "That's it, we are leaving early!" Father yelled, slamming his hand on the counter. Our new house wasn't going to be new for long. We were moving back to the safe house. The place that kept the families of gang members safe, but it felt like a trap "Are the cops on to us?" Mother asked, He shook his head slowly "Someone in this house is in contact with a spy and they don't know it" he looked directly at me "What?" I raised my eyebrows. Being in a gang family, its hard not to be played by spies. They look so normal, untill they stab you in the back.

We were in hiding from the cops, or father and mother were. My father was a leader of a gang, they called themselves the 'Red Suits'. My mother was the leading lady for the wifes group of the Red Suits. Every god damn sunday they came over complaining and complaining. They called themselves 'Red Suits' because when they killed somebody they got bloody and messy.

My name is Bobbie Lenzini, daughter of Joey & Marie Lenzini. My father orginally wanted a boy when my mother got pregnant with me, he already had my brother but I came out a girl so either way he named me Bobbie. He was feared by many, and mean to many, but my mother, brother and I were the only ones he was nice to. He used to call me his 'Piccola farfalla' It means 'Little butterfly'. Now he calls me his 'Angel'. He calls me that so I don't do anything against his word, like a guilt trip. I loved my family and mostly my father but I hated how every two years was another home, school, friends and ''close'' friends. My father's friends had children that I grew up with in the safe house. They were the only friends that I had that I was allowed to stay in contact with, but we lived so far away its been three years since we've seen them, then again been to the safe house.

Father was mad at me for hanging out with a boy, and the boy "Fell for me" more like I "Fell for him" Which turns out the boy was a spy and I may have told him some stuff that I probably shoudn't have, but i'm not telling Father that part "I told you, Bobbie is a beautiful girl , a young gulable teenager. Come on Joey she didn't know, shes sixteen for god sakes!" Mother defended me, waving a wooden spoon around "You need to tell him nothin' more than your movin' and not comin' back" Mother told me, I nodded and agreed.

"But daddy I don't think it will work, I told him the story already!" He leaned on the kitchen table and rubbed his chin thinking, "Plan B... Sorry angel" Plan B was to kill him. The boy was named Jack. Father wanted me to be with an Italian boy, for our family's benifits, culture and buisness. He didn't like Jack even the first day they stood before each other. He sensed something fishy with Jack and now that I think about it, he really was a spy. Asking too many questions, too many pictures... It was so obvious that I practically should be blind "Daddy I don't want to go back to the safe house though!" I still called my father daddy and my mother mama, it was embarrassing to say infront of my safe house friends but they had to get used to it or else daddy would kick them out. He stood and walked up to me, resting his hands on my shoulders "Oh mio bella bobbie, you've been played" he layed a kiss on my forehead "What?" I looked confused "He's a spy, why do you think he's trying to keep you here and asking all these questions?" mama leaned over the counter "He knows too much now, he saw me making a deal with Donny" Mother dropped her jaw "Da' FUCK you just say Joey?" She dropped a towel on the counter, he's not supposed to be making deals the gang told us not to or else the spys and police can track us down.

"Not now honey, the group says we are being watched here and we need to go to the safe house" He let me go and walked to momma and hugged her "I'm going to my office, don't bother me unless dinner is finished" we all nodded. I stood in the doorway facing her "Mama?" I started to get teary eyed she gestured me to hug her, I layed my head on her chest, I was quite short with out my heels. "I know babes, but we'll be at the safe house soon" The safe house was where all the 'Red Suit' families stayed for saftey and events they throw "I'm home!" Nicky my brother walked in the front door "Hey honey, how ya' doin'?" mamma asked "Hopefully hungry?" Mother made the best food I had ever tasted... Then again all I ate was her food. "Starvin' ma'" I moved out of the way as he walked up to her and kissed her cheek. He turned to me after "What happend to you cry baby?" he was a jerk to me and always had been since we started highschool. But when I was little and I got scared he'd let me sleep in his room and crawl up in his arms "Don't be an ass!" I yelled as I wiped my tears away "Nicky don't be an ass to your' sista' and Bobbie wipe the tears away!"

"Now go to your rooms and get ready for dinner" I walked up the stairs with Nicky following, I walked slowly on purpose to piss him off "Oh my god, can you move faster?" I turned and laughed "Make me!" which was a teribble desicion because he wrapped his arms around my legs and carried me like a sack of potatoes on his shoulder. I was laughing histarically "Nicky, put me down" I kicked "Not until we get to the top" He finally put me down and I started to girlishly hit his chest "Oh, come on you and I know you did it on purpose" He laughed "I could've died and you could've dropped me!" I yelled angrily "Bobbie, your way too light and short for that to happen" He was still laughing "Well, when I wear my heels i'm just your height!" I shot back "Oh, you mean those stilts ya' call shoes?" I walked in my bedroom doorway "They are not stilts!" He laughed and walked in his room "Whatever ya' say my 'Piccola farfalla'" He teased.

I squinted my eyes at him, our rooms were right across from each other, and I slambed the door really loud "Da FUCK WAS THAT!" mom yelled from the kitchen. I opened my door again "Sorry momma!" Nicky had his door still open and I glared at Nicky as he laughed. Me and Nicky had a weird relationship, one time he kissed me while I was half asleep and he never told me. I had no problem with it cause he was that boy where if he smiled at you, you definitley gushed whenever he walked past ya'. Plus the boy who you'll never date cause he's out of everyones league, except a girl like me, cause i'm not being snobby but my long brown hair, big green eyes a little bit of chub in the right places was out of his league in our school. The thing is that Nicky and I have lighter skin than our families, we get it from our mother, she's not full Italian she's more Jersey, plus the accent. I just sat on my bed waiting for "DINNA' IS READY!" mother yelled. I opened my door and Nicky's was closed, the game is whoever is the last one to dinner is the one who does the chores for the week... But he hasn't heard the news about the spy, he's gonna be mad at me since he has a girlfriend here.

I sneaked up to his door and leaned my ear to hear in, I heard whispers "I love you, but we can't be together anymore" Who was he talking to? I ran downstairs into the kitchen "Hey Bobbie, set da' table" I grabbed the silverware, plates and napkins. I set the table leaving the plates by the pot of stew momma cooked. Nicky finally came down, he looked fine but his smile was dull "Your sista' had to set the table by herself... what do ya' have to say?" he looked at me with sad eyes "Thank-" dad cut him off charging on the room "We gotta go!" We all looked at each other shocked "What why?" Nicky asked "Oh hey Nicky, when da fuck you get here?" Momma waved her hand around at dad "Calm down, just tell us whats happenin'" He ran to the window over the sink.

"The spies turn out to be an other gang" He closed the shade "WHAT?" Mom freaked "They found our location and our group can't get here in time to help us" Nicky looked lost since he didn't have the same conversation I did earlier "What do you mean an other gang, and they're coming here, what?" Nicky squinted "Nicky your sista' was in contact with one of them and.." dad cut her off "And you were too Nicky" Momma bit her tongue "What do you mean?" Nicky's face grew shocked "That girlfriend of yours is Jack's sista'" I wasn't following "Don't ya' see, they tried to secretly surround us like prey and then attack like preditors" he continued "So if anyone of ya's want to live I'd suggest to get da' fuck outta' here!" we all waited for instructions from daddy "Honey grab the gasoline and matches, we need to burn this place down" momma rushed to the shed, "You two run to the attic and grab da' money and weapons!" Nicky rushed up to the attic "Weapons?" I had no idea we had weapons "Your brotha' will show ya', now GO!"

I ran and followed Nicky, "Bobbie, here!" I helped him pull the attic door down, we got it down and he pushed me up first "Go straight then find the light!" It was hard to see, all the light was a little glass window with the moon shining through it. I kept walking with my arms infront of me like a cartoon zombie, until (Tink!) I hit my head on the bulb. I found the string and pulled it "Good!" Nicky cheered as he climbed up "Over here!" He handed me two big bags of money "Throw it down the stairs to the side" I did and he handed me two more, and two more "Okay now we got weapons..." He thought for a minute "Okay, Bobbie your gonna hand me only these three boxes" He waited for me to agree... "Oh, yeah okay" He climbed down the ladder "Okay first one?" I grabbed it and slowly knelt down and he grabbed it... "Ok good, next?" I grabbed and passed again.

BAM!

"JOEY LENZINI!" there was shooting and I heard mama scream "NICKY HIDE!" Nicky ran up the ladder and quietly closed it and he grabbed me and turned off the light. He sat us down side by side facing the door. I heard momma scream and gun shots and started to cry covering my face "Ok! It's okay, I got you Bobbie" He hugged me into his shoulder and pulled me into his lap. We heard foot steps under us, the attic was hidden in the ceiling. You couldn't see it unless dad taught you.

"It's clear, they must've ran away" a man said "How can you tell?" Someone else said "Look da' window is open!" I heard footsteps charge in Nicky's room "Nicky?" I whispered "Why is your window open?" he ignored me "Nicky!" he covered my mouth,"Shhh" It was the girl I bet, the sister that probably located us and called the gang in tonight "All clear I guess.. Let's move out" I stayed quiet until we heard them drive off.
