War of Ambitions

The men sitting next to Annalisa made her nervous. She heard them speaking in a foreign tongue, but couldn't exactly pinpoint what it was. She drank the shot down quickly, and made a face, vodka really wasn't her thing, but she wasn't thinking straight. For a second, the thought of asking one of the Russians to help her with the body of the businessman crossed her mind, but they seemed shady, and she'd probably have to pay them off, so she dismissed the idea.

"Another one please." She said to the bartender softly, the fact that she was in a bar alone without any male protection made her a bit antsy, she had done it plenty of times, but it still got to her.

The bartender handed her another shot, and once again, Annalisa drank it quickly. She then went back to scanning the people in the room, looking for someone suitable to hide a body, or keep her company and convince to give her more money. She heard one of the Russians say he was looking for work- and once again considered paying them to hide the body of the businessman. But, she restrained herself, they were Russian, and a Russian killed her parents.

Annalisa took one more scan around the room, and got prepared to leave. She wasn't going to stay here longer than she had to- she would go directly to Giovanni, her boss, and admit her error- or crime, and hope he didn't go off on her, and get someone to help her clean up her mistake. Just then, a man sat down next to her, he looked vaguely familiar- did he work for Bracco too? Of course, Annalisa wasn't highly involved, basically all she did was go around and seduce feds and members of rival gangs, and get information for the boss, of which he paid her in return for.

Remembering that she was on a mission to find someone capable of hiding a body, she leaned in to the man next to her,"I think I know you, do you work for Bracco?" She whispered into the man's ear, hoping she wasn't mistaken.

Annalisa got paranoid, and went back to her dresser, taking the money back out and counting it again, coming up $30 short. This wasn't going to fly with her- no one could simply rip her off and get away with it. She opened another drawer of her dresser, and took out a pistol, sitting it on top of the dresser. She sighed, and figured that the man couldn't have made it too far yet- she had forgotten his name, she had only met him the night before at a club. A big chunk of her income was finding businessmen, inviting them over, and then pretending to be an emotional basket case in order to get money- and that was exactly the case with this particular man. Anger had welled up in her, because she didn't like when men tried to short change her.

Annalisa walked outside, and saw the man standing at the street corner- she ran after him,"Sir! Sir!" She called after him,"You forgot something! Please come back!" The man turned around, and walked back toward her,"I don't recall doing so-"

"But you did!" Annalisa said urgently, and took his hand, dragging him in, and locked her front door once he was in. "Now just let me go and get it.." She said softly,"Then you can be on your lovely way."

Annalisa walked into her bedroom, and grabbed the pistol off of her dresser, her hands were shaking, she wasn't very good with killing people, it wasn't something she enjoyed doing, but if she wasn't going to get her way, she wasn't going to just let him get away with it. She held the gun up, and walked out slowly into the sitting room, pointing it at the man,"Now, don't try to leave, just hand the money over, if you don't I'm afraid you won't be leaving alive." Her voice was low and shaky.

"Miss Cavallo, I don't know what you're talking about." The man insisted,"Just sit the gun down, there's no need for violence."

"You don't fucking know? Where's the other $30? Theres no way you could miscount that bad!" There was a twinge of fear in her voice.

"Now, I don't see why you need all of that money, you have obviously been getting along just fine." The man snorted,"Plus, it's not like a pleasant young woman like you would actually shoot me."

"Well, you obviously have mistaken yourself." Annalisa whispered, closed her eyes, and pulled the trigger. She opened her eyes to see the man laying on the ground. She bit her lip and ran to get her purse. She looked at the man's body and sighed- she would clean it up later. Dazed, she made her way out of the house and to the nearest place that still served alcohol and sat down between three Russians and a Scotsman,"One vodka please." She said numbly, and scanned the place for a familiar face- someone, anyone, to help her dispose of the body laying on her sitting room floor.

Yeah, how lovely. I see how this is gonna go XD

War of Ambitions

Annalisa sat next to a man on the red sofa in the sitting room of her house, tears running down her face. They weren't real, of course, she just wanted money and pity, and she knew exactly how to get it. "It's... It's just been so hard- I expected the family to take care of me, since I've lost Mama and Papa and Leonardo, but they've barely done anything. The money won't last forever and I'm not getting enough." She said, but what she really meant was 'I want another string of pearls and a new dress, and I don't feel like paying my house payment.'

"Uh.." The man next to her was obviously uncomfortable,"Could I help you in any way? " He asked.

Annalisa grabbed a cigar and lit it, still sniffling,"Well.. I don't know how I'm going to make my house payment." She whined, making her voice ridiculously high- pitched. "I'll pay you back- I promise." She took a drag off of the cigar and then leaned in, kissing the man's cheek, even though she hardly knew him. This was how she got them- she showed them affection.

The man stared at her,"Okay Miss Cavallo, but I expect the money by next month." He said lowly and handed Annalisa the money.

"Oh thank you! I will I promise!"She hugged the man, and then ushered him to the door quickly, struggling to hide her happiness. She knew she wasn't going to bother to pay him back, but she would deal with that problem later. She then took the money and hid it in the dresser, she knew the shopping would have to wait until a later time, she had work to do. She didn't like how she had to work- she thought she should've been waited upon hand and foot because of the amount of loss she had suffered- but no one else did, so she just had to cope.

War of Ambitions

Name: Annalisa Cavallo
Gender: Female
Age: 24
Personality: Annalisa comes off as charming, soft spoken, and polite to those who don't know her. Underneath that fascade is a completely different person- she is in reality quite hostile and manipulative. She is generally cold and strong- willed, and can turn on anyone in an instant for any given reason. She doesn't like being told what to do, and will purposely do things she shouldn't just to spite people. The only time that the charming side comes out to people who know her is when she wants something- and she'll do anything to get what she wants.
Info: Annalisa's parents came over to America from Italy shortly before she was born. Her parents, Dante and Giovanna, had done relatively well in their native country, and decided that they wanted to have a shot in America. She was lucky to grow up in a middle class home in Brooklyn, but the one thing that wasn't right was the fact that her father had joined the Mafia. It didn't directly affect her until 1915 when her parents were executed by members of a rival family. Then, in 1918, shortly after she got engaged, her fiancé was killed. Now she is out to try and avenge the deaths of the people she loved, because she doubts anyone else will.
Appearance: Annalisa is about 5'3 with a curvy figure. Her skin is slightly tanned and radiant. Her face is rounded with large round sky blue eyes with golden flecks within them. Her nose is turned up slightly, and her lips are plump with a natural pinkish tint to them. Her chocolate- colored hair is soft, thick and slightly wavy, it goes down to her shoulders, but usually is pulled up in a tight bun. She usually wears dresses, but occasionally wears men's suits, as she feels it puts her on the same playing level as them.
