Capo Dei Capi (Secrets of the Famiglia Part 1)

I walk toward her, stopping only when we are barely three feet apart. She reminds me of a small lioness I once saw in Africa when I was touring. So little, but filled with so much potential.

Ren obviously didn't take the shit very well and contacted my uncle, who told him Dakota was under his care until she turned 18. Ren wanted Dakota to live with him, he was afraid that her father's enemies would come after her. But it wasn't her father's enemies my uncle was worried about.
