After reading plawrence's sequel to The Godfather, I was inspired to write a few lines of my own. Enjoy.

CHAPTER I

Michael Corleone sat alone in his office, in his home in Lake Tahoe with his head rested on his hand. He was wondering what he was going to tell his sister, Constanzia, about the death of his brother, Frederico. He usually had matters such as this one thought through before he carried them out, but today's matter was an exception. He was ashamed of what he had done. He wanted to think about it as little as possible.

He called for his caporegime, Albert Neri, Fredo's executioner, to come into his office. "I feel lousy about it, Al" said Michael. The caporegime was surprised that Michael was telling him this. Michael Corleone didn't usually show emotion in matters of business. He knew Michael was truly ashamed of what he had done. "That's understandable. But Fredo was a traitor. He was a threat to our organization" said Al. He paused. "You made the right decision, Mike". The caporegime's words didn't comfort Michael.

Al knew Michael was distressed and turned around to leave. "Al" said Michael "Send in my sister". Al knew exactly what Michael wanted to speak to his sister about. He didn't ask any questions, he did exactly what Michael said.
