Fabio stood up from his seat at head of the table and began to pace around the room, his hands clasped behind his back as he spoke.
Fabio Marino (ML)
You all know that I am a father now.
*he began, his voice stern and authoritative.*
Fabio Marino (ML)
And I know that many of you are fathers as well. But let me remind you, it's different when you have a daughter.
Fabio Marino (ML)
The fear, the worry, the constant vigilance that comes with knowing she's growing up in a world filled with evil.
Mr Ming
*spoke up* But we're fathers too, Don. We understand.
Fabio Marino (ML)
*nodded, acknowledging their shared parenthood.*
I know you do. But you must understand the dangers that exist out there, especially for young girls. I will not stand idly by while predators roam free.
Fabio gaze fell on one of the men a known associate who he had been spotted with a teenage girl recently. His eyes narrowed as he locked gaze with the man.
Fabio Marino (ML)
I do not tolerate pedophiles in my organization.
*He said icily*
Those who harm children are as good as dead to me. And believe me, I can make that happen.
The man he was staring at shifted uncomfortably in his seat, his eyes darting away from Fabio's piercing gaze.
Fabio Marino (ML)
*continued*
I've built my empire on blood and money,but I will not stand for the exploitation of innocent children. If anyone in this organization is involved in such despicable acts, they will answer to me.
Fabio Marino (ML)
I except nothing but loyalty and respect from all of you.
*He said,his gaze sweeping over each member of his crew.*
If anyone crosses me on this matter,they will suffer the consequences.
As the meeting adjourned, the men filed out of the room silently, the weight of Fabio's words heavy on their minds.
