[ WP ] You have been kidnapped by the mafia , the reason ? Someone who 's very high up has a child who has a crush on you .

`` You want me to do what now'' I sputtered, spitting out the fibers from the gag. `` I want you'' the fat man said through a thick accent, curling his fingers into a ball in front of his face, index fingers extended towards me like a finger gun, somehow seeming more dangerous than an actual gun `` to take my daughter on a date. I wo n't say it again.'' I had always thought that when people said Nicolette was bad business they had been bullshiting, it could n't be my Nicolette they were talking about, but here I am, sitting in the office Gonzo the Grinder, notorious crime boss and loving father to my best friend, a smiling picture of her staring me in the face. 
 
 
 Nicolette had always been pretty, even when we were too young to care about that stuff she had always been like a flower, and I like the bumblebee hoplessly clinging to this whirlwind of a girl. We had been practically inseparable, two orphaned children in a big, sprawling city, always finding ways to get into mischief and cause someone or another a bit of grief. That all changed one day though, she had to leave, something about her being adopted. I would see her in passing, usually behind a wall of angry flesh eager to kick anyone who dared to come within five feet of them, I learned my lesson to stay away the way most lessons are taught on the street, by it being beat into me. 
 
 `` So'' Gonzo's deep Sicilian accent cut through my though `` are you going to do it?'' I stopped to choose my words very carefully​ `` Sir, I do n't think she even remembers me, let alone likes me. I am just a street urchin, she shed that life like a cacoon, turning into a beautiful butterfly that this clumsy bumblebee could never catch.'' I caught myself realizing that I was narrating my thoughts instead of thinking. I tensed, sure that any moment I would be dead, but Gonzo did n't move, only looked at me with intense eyes. 
 
 After an eternity Gonzo drew a long breath, sighing a tired sigh belonging to a father. `` Do you know how many men have proposed to her? How many countless others she would n't even grant a simple dinner to? No, she has only ever wanted one thing, and it was the one thing that I could never give her. She always talked about her little bumblebee, always by her side. She told me of the fierce bumblebee​, fending off three goons who tried to take his flower from him. How for something so small and withered he would fight like a hornet. No, you are the only one she could ever want.'' Gonzo fell back I to his chair. `` You are the only one good enough for her''
