More Men Than Raindrops
(An expression used to describe an area of Dispair and Vice where Murder is common place)

Intro

Johnny was born on the 18th of July 1975 North Naples Hospital, his father wasn't around much so he was brought up nearly entirely by his mother not far from where he was born although she couldn't be around much either because she had to work long hours just to keep a roof over their heads. The lack of a any role model especially a strong male role model made him idolize those in the Mafia. Power, Money and family all the things he had always wanted were there for him he just had to take it.

Johnny entered his rebellious years early just to try and get himself noticed, he thought,
*If they see ill do anything they have to let me in.*
He did get noticed and very quickly was accepted into the Mafia operating Extortion, prostitution and gambling rackets throughout the City. His willingness to get do whatever it took earned him the rank of Hitman and for the first time in his life he felt like he was where he belonged with his new family the Mafia.
A few years passed and the feeling never passed, never faded never went away until..


Lonlyness

Our thing bar 21:37
The bar had become a favorite haunt of Johnny's quiet and out of the way somewhere he could think, think about the things he had done, about the people he had killed but most importantly how he was getting to the top.
Johnny waved to the barkeeper,
"Ey Johnny the usual?"
"Sure"
Johnny remained distant, the barkeeper didn't ask why he knew if Johnny wanted to talk he would and with the reputation he had earned he wasn't going to be the one to pry,
He placed a drink next to Johnny and went on to serve someone else along the bar.
"Marko" Johnny gestured again to the barkeeper,
"Yeah"
"Why is it that when i got what i wanted my ma, the family, the power, money and respect i still feel like there's someone, something missing?"
"I dno Johnny maybe your just not looking hard enough there's always that feeling in everyone until we get what we need maybe you just aint got it yet"
Johnny sunk back into himself and finished his drink.


Outside Our thing Bar 22:15
Johnny put on his jacket and stepped out into the cold November street and began to walk, walk the way he had walked 1000 times a way which he knew well it almost seemed to walk itsel
Naples City 22:30
A neon sign flickered in the rain showing signs of age, he streets werent kind and even though the owners had tried to ward off the grafitti and vandals it was clear that the streets were winning.
Out of the corner of his eye he saw someone a man his hair dripping wet his skin tanned and glistening in the rain, he had always been bad with approaching people so he took a sigh and continued walking towards home.Another day passed and Johnny fell asleep in his own bed with no trouble.

Lee

07:00 Johnnys apartment
The Sun was blinding as he drew the curtains the next morning,
*All the rain must have passed*
He walked to his bathroom and began preparing for anotherday trying to block out the searing lonleyness that he was hiding within.

08:00 Johnnys apartment/Naples City
A car had pulled up outside Johnny's apartment, Johnny walked down the flights of stairs and stepped into the passenger seat of the car ,it was time to do the collection, the deals all went ahead with no problems, he walked in asked for the money the store owners payed up just like normal it was normal just as it had always been and this had always been all he needed so what was different now?
He stepped out of the final Protection racket and looked across the street it was him the guy from before he Johnny couldent believe it, maybe this is what he was missing... someone to love.
He plucked up the courage to walk up and talk to the man,
"...H.Hey ive seen you around and aaa... *Pull yourself together* and i was wondering if you would like to go out somewhere sometimes maybe?"
The man smiled at Johnny
"Sure im Lee by the way"
A smile played across Johnnys face
"Im Johnny"

Start of the End

Time Unknown Naples High Rise Apartment Building
*A small raindrop tapped against the window*
Johnny looked over as had become customary, in his line of work vigilance was everything.
He opened his case and began assembling his rifle,
after some final checks he stepped over to the window opened it and waited.

A mid floor room not the one he had asked for, he wondered why but didn't question it he worked with what he had and this was it,tonight the leaders of the two most power Familys would meet and been told to eliminate them however he wanted just to make sure that they were dead.

Two Black Mercedes pulled up one with Dark blue and one with Dark green tinted windows, the drivers of both stepped out and opened the rear passenger doors.
Two Men in smart grey pressed linen business suits stepped out shook hands and begun to talk, the drivers moved to one side took out cigarettes and began to smoke and also talk.

*Johnny took aim, held his breath for a second, squeezed the trigger of his rifle two times and checked through his sights to see if he had hit what he was aiming at*, he knew he, had he never missed but he always checked.
The drivers were dead on the street a pool of blood slowly growing around where their heads lay.

Johnny felt metal against his own head and turned to see something he never thought he would, Lee his partner standing over him with his gun drawn.
He was the only one Johnny had ever really loved but he knew, he knew Lee just like him would do what ever it took to get to the top, Johnny didn't hesitate, he grabbed the gun out of Lee's faultering hand and squeezed off a shot into his chest .He knew who had sent him and how they had broken the very code of honor and loyalty they made Him swear years prior, they were the only people who had the power to do it the only ones Lee would listen to over him.

Johnny dropped the gun, scrambled and home packed a two bags and back out the door of his apartment for the last time, checked under his car and drove to a small bar down a back street he stepped out his car for just a second to place one of his bags in the doorway and began to drive again.

Naples Municipal Airport his final stop. he didn't care where he was going right now he only cared about how fast he could get out of there, his life seemed like it had been wasted up to now the past years idolizing and serving men who would betray him as easily as they would befriend him.
*A small vibration rocked his glass of water*

"This is your captain speaking flight 893 to Los Santos International will be leaving shortly please have a pleasant flight"

The End

Johnny stepped out of Los Santos main airport terminal and picked up a newspaper and read a small snipplet that caught his eye.

"EXPLOSION RIPS THROUGH Italian STREET!"
"The explosion originated at Our Thing bar bar (Napoli) a know Mob hideout the explosion coincides with the brutal murder of two other mob bosses outside a apartment complex not far away, among those comfirmed dead are the leaders of the Napoli Mafia Family the Vercetti's. Johnny_Cipriani notorious hitman and prime suspect for the murders is missing.A police spokesperson said Cipriani is presumed on the run he is likley armed and dangerous i urge all international authotritys to remain vigilant.The Spokesperson then went on to call Cipriani a Ruthless man on the Rise "
