Episode 1

Hello, I'm Valentim Esposito, one of the heirs of the Italian mafia, but due to a matter of minutes, my brother inherited the leadership, and I was happy about it, despite enjoying being part of the mafia, I never wanted the role of leader, I prefer to stay focused on the adrenaline rather than the bureaucratic part.

My brother Vicente and I are very different from each other, not only in appearance but also in personality. I have always been more calm and observant, while Vicente is hot-headed, not thinking much before acting. I have to admit that my brother is a great leader, although he has not yet assumed the full leadership of the mafia. He went to Brazil two days ago to fetch his future wife, a woman who was arranged through a contract between two families.

My family doesn't know, but I am a gay man. I have always kept my sexual orientation hidden from everyone, as the men in the mafia would never accept someone with my sexual orientation. Perhaps my family would accept it because they are my family, but I think even they would not approve.

One of the main reasons for keeping my sexuality hidden is because I feel ashamed of myself. There has always been an emphasis that men cannot love other men or kiss other men.

I discovered my sexuality when I was only 16 years old. I could never get aroused watching porn videos with women, so one day I decided to watch a video of two men and immediately got excited. I had my first experience with another man on my 18th birthday. I had met a guy at a club and we went to his house. I have always been versatile, enjoying both active and passive roles.

After Vicente went to Brazil, things became crazy. Many women were disappearing, being kidnapped, and this drew attention to our organization. We always operated discreetly, but with all this confusion, things were getting difficult.

Heitor: Vicente, I want you and Pietro to investigate these disappearances.

Valentim: For the love of God, isn't there anyone better?

Heitor: You know Pietro is very good at his job.

Valentim: I'm not going to babysit anyone, the kid is only 17 years old.

Heitor: At your age, you went on much worse missions. It will be good for you to work together.

Valentim: What's the mission?

Heitor: I want you both to travel to Mexico. Investigate the women who are disappearing. When Vicente returns from Brazil, I want everything to be well advanced.

Valentim: When do we leave?

Heitor: In an hour. We can't waste time. You will be there for a week. Try to mingle and gather information.

Valentim: Alright. I need to go get ready.

I leave the room and head to the parking lot. I get in my car and drive home. I need to pack some things for the trip. I have always traveled on missions alone, not liking to travel with others. As soon as I get home, I pack my travel bag and quickly head back to the hangar.

Upon arrival, I see Pietro. He is a good-looking boy and doesn't seem like he's only 17 years old. I approach him and speak.

Valentim: Are you ready?

Pietro: Yes.

Valentim: Then let's go.

I start walking, and he follows behind. Pietro has always been very reserved, just like me. We have always had little conversation, only what is necessary. We enter the jet, and he sits in a distant seat. We are mostly silent during the trip until he finally speaks up.

Pietro: Do you know where we are staying? I need to know if it's safe and if there are any nightclubs nearby.

Valentim: We are not here to have fun; we are here for work.

Pietro: Each of us works in our own way. You stay out of my way, and I'll stay out of yours.

Valentim: Do whatever you want with your life, just don't interfere with my job.

Pietro: Same goes for you.

He puts on his headphones and starts working on his laptop, and I do the same. I have no patience for arguing with teenagers.

After a while, we finally arrived in Mexico. It was already night time, and Pietro and I went straight to the hotel. Once we arrived, we each went to our rooms, which were adjacent to each other.

As soon as I got in, I took a shower and put on a white boxer brief. I was ready to sleep when I heard the bell of my room ring. I got up and went to open the door to see who it was. I looked through the peephole and saw Pietro standing at the door. I opened it right away, forgetting that I was only in my boxers.

Valentim: What is it?

Pietro: I'm going out.

Valentim: I'm not your babysitter.

Pietro: I'm just letting you know in case you need anything. There's no need to be rude.

Valentim: Fine, now get out of my doorway. I need to sleep.

He looked at me from head to toe and then left. I kept looking at him and realized for the first time how handsome and attractive Pietro was. I closed the door to my room and went back to bed, but I couldn't get Pietro out of my mind. Where was he going so late at night in a place where he didn't know anyone?
