________________________________________________________________________
INTO THE NIGHT
DESPERATE AND BROKEN
THE BASIC INFORMATION[/center][/font]
[/b]SO, TELL ME. WHAT'S YOUR FULL NAME?
“Allegra Valencia Aileen Mancini. My father named me, and my first middle name was my paternal grandmother’s name and my second middle name was my mother’s first name."
AND HOW OLD ARE YOU?
"Twenty three.”
WHAT DO YOU DO FOR A LIVING?
"I work as an Emergency Room physician, perhaps thinking about going into surgery. I’m also a part of the Italian Mafia, one of the five families back in New York. I’m the mastermind behind every operation, whereas my brother Dario is the face. Dear old dad ‘retired’ just so he can show Dario the ropes. I’ve been running things since I was seventeen. If that leaves this room, the authorities won’t be able to find your body, got it?”
YOU SEEING ANYONE, OR ARE YOU SINGLE?
"No. Just no."[/blockquote][/blockquote][/size]

THE PERSONALITY
FATHER HAS SPOKEN
THE PERSONALITY
[/b]IF YOU COULD DESCRIBE YOURSELF IN SEVEN WORDS WHAT WOULD THEY BE?
"Seven words? Intelligent, adamant, reckless, prideful, perfectionist, attractive, quick-witted."
WHAT KIND OF THINGS DO YOU LIKE?
"I like taking apart weapons and putting them back together again. I like them to be clean and I don’t trust anyone with my precious weaponry. I also really like throwing knives, it releases a lot of frustration. I like to play the piano, the music helps me to think, just like tossing a ball at the wall. I really like to play old movie scores, since I really prefer old movies with such heavy hitters like Greta Garbo, I really adore her. And I guess I like Comic books, considering I have a very healthy collection, and dissections are fascinating... butterfly knives, Gatling guns, mythology, family ties/loyalty, I like them all too.”
WHAT KIND OF THINGS DON'T YOU LIKE?
“I loathe it when something is left undone; laziness in general bothers me... As do interruptions, I can’t handle hard cotton candy, it’s just hard sugar, it is disgusting, along with butter scotch pudding, gross.”
WHAT WOULD YOU SAY WERE YOUR STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES?
“Well, let’s get real for a second, I have an eidetic memory, thus I have the ability to learn things at a very fast pace, figure out puzzles, see patterns. Sort of the reason I went into medicine, I like the chase, I have the rubic’s cube complex, not the messiah one. Another strength I suppose is my ability to never miss a shot, practicing helped but I think I’m just pretty damn gifted,”
“Weaknesses? Me? please... Well, I have been told that I am a text book narcissist; I’m amazing, it’s a natural occurrence. And I suppose I’m a little socially inept, I just don’t understand why everyone must attach emotion to things, simply pointless. I was even told that I was too cruel to people I despise; whatever, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger... or some other cliche...”
DO YOU HAVE ANY SECRETS?
"My family runs the Mancini Crime Family, who are part of the Five Families in New York City, very dangerous yet luxurious people. I also don’t feel like most people do... I mean, I can feel physical pain, but emotions confuse me, they’re foreign to me. I was almost diagnosed as a sociopath when I was younger, but its against the rules to diagnose children, silly therapists.”
WHAT ARE YOU MOST SCARED OF?
“To be honest, I’m sort of worried about feeling all that supposed guilt normal people feel... like the guilt about killing people. meh... that is future Allegra’s problem.”[/blockquote][/blockquote][/size]
WE WERE THE KINGS AND QUEENS OF PROMISE
WE WERE THE VICTIMS OF OURSELVES
THE HISTORY
WE WERE THE VICTIMS OF OURSELVES
THE HISTORY
[/b]TELL ME A LITTLE OF WHAT YOUR FAMILY IS LIKE?
"My family has always been a big boisterous, typical italian family... Well, you know, minus the jersey shore impersonations... Actually if you wanted to compare it to hollywood, think about the the Godfather, that is just about it. My dad is the big money spender, always buying things or another and loud and funny. My mother was always quiet, calm, his foil really. My brothers all varied, Dario was quiet but witty like mum, Marco is the womanizer, and I don’t think he would ever settle down, I don’t think I would want him too. He’s just got too big of a heart to just spend it on one person," She laughed, looking to the side, recalling something, “And lastly, my brother Leo, he kept the family together, especially when Mum... He’s the comic, always keeping the mood light and hilarious. To be honest, he’s my favourite, even though I argue with him the most.”
“Things have always been very supportive and comfortable with my home life, very big and loud. We usually just speak Italian at home, it’s nice to just go back to that. My paternal grandmother has lived with us for years now, she can always make any place a home. My grandmother can always make me feel better, she’s been there since my Mother... died. ”
WHO ARE YOUR PARENTS?
"My father’s name is Angelo Mancini, he is fifty two, still the head of the Mancini crime family, but he is beginning to do this thing where he is sort of training Dario for when he passes. I think that is proposterous, considering the heir should be me. I’ve done the majority of the work, I have been the one who has conducted the most business."
She pauses before she speaks about her mother, furrowing her brows, even unsure before she continues, “My mother was Aileen Mancini, nee O’Flynn, and she was wonderful. She was loving and kind and she didn’t know how cruel I could be. She tried so hard to make me a good person, I was just neglectful. She died on November 18th, five days before her and my father’s twentieth anniversary.”
DO YOU HAVE ANY SIBLINGS?
"Oh sweet moses, I do indeed have siblings, three older brothers to be exact. Dario is the oldest at twenty eight, he is the heir apparent, again, total bull shit. Marco is twenty seven, he is a lawyer, a defense attorney which makes me laugh. He also doesn’t take anything serious, very smug and a notorious playboy. Leo is twenty five, he worked so hard for his bar, and it is quite nice too, I’m proud of him, in a ‘great, you’re not poor,” kind of way."
ANY OTHER RELATIVES CLOSE TO YOU?
"I’m very close to my nonna, she’s seventy and quite epic. She cannot handle anyone’s shit and I think that is quite fantastic, like doughnuts, I adore her like baked goods."
TELL ME THE STORY OF YOUR PAST?
"I was born on January second, I know, I know, why couldn’t I be born earlier, say, the first of january? Oh I don’t know maybe since my mother’s cervix wasn’t dilated until the second? Stop grimacing, you made me say it because of your stupid little thought. So yes, I was born on January second, thanks for the birthday wish. I’m the youngest of four children, the only daughter and I would like to think that I’m the favourite. My life was pretty uneventful, just regular slightly mafia related since my father tried not to include us in things. Though I do remember going to mexico with him, Tijuana, and that was where I first met my best friend Maggie. She is like candy to me, seriously, I have such a huge sweet tooth, and my love of sweets can be correlated to Magdelena. I would kill for her at any given moment. But that was one of the exceptions with my father, he would take me to Mexico whenever he could, it was nice. I think he was just relieved that I had social skills in order to make actual friends. It wasn’t until I was fourteen that I really started to get a hold of things in my father’s business, and at seventeen I was running things.[/blockquote][/blockquote][/size]
However, before that, I must add that I graduated high school at thirteen, and that my life was quite insignificant at this time. I was a skinny gangly looking child, and on top of that I skipped far too many grades to ever make friends out of my peers. But with Maggie, it proved to my parents that I wasn’t going to grow up as a crazy scientist with ten cats, sweet success. But I went through private school at an accelerated pace, graduating at thirteen with people who did not bother to know my other but rather by ‘that crazy smart freak.’ children can be so kind. It’s okay though, that twiggy long legged girl turned into this" She gestured to her entire body, “After graduating I was accepted into Columbia University, and in my first year my mother was killed by Russian filth, I came home just as it happened and shot the scum in the forehead. It was after her funeral that I had an interest in the family business. Thinking back on it, if the russians never did what they did, I wouldn’t be the person I am now. Oh boy, that sounded a little emotional, I didn’t mean to... Shut up before I shoot you, I never miss. Along with this involvement, I got my bachelor’s degree in Health Sciences and then I got my Master’s degree in forensic psychology. I like to multitask, it is practically ingrained in me. It wasn’t until after my bachelor’s when I really got involved with the business, virtually running the show, as it were.
Oh, was I supposed to talk a little more about the devastation of my mother’s death? Well ok... let me be frank, logically speaking this was bound to occur. The wife of one of the most prolific leaders of one of the most powerful families on the eastern coast of North America, it was going to happen. Mind you, it could have been a failed attempt at killing my mother, but there would always be the presumption that she was in danger. Aileen, my mother, was father’s weakest point; it only made sense that the Russian, or any nemesis would do something regarding her. There, I said it. Does that make me a horrible person, perhaps, but I’m being truthful. According to social etiquette or morals, or what have you, I shouldn’t be dismissing my mother’s death into a series of events that were fueled by a long stemming hatred. Somehow, that doesn’t bother me, though some might say that I’m a psychopath, unable to comprehend or feel emotion. I can feel emotion, if I tried really, really hard to do so, but that seems a little illogical to me. Emotions only hindered, from my experience.
My father was initially against the idea; but his reasoning was that he didn’t want to lose me too, he wanted me to be aware unlike my mother. But I had precedent, my plans and occasional 'work' was successful when I 'worked' during my degree, I was destined to do well after all. I think it’s this ever present need to make myself feel better about my mother that drives me to do what I do, the never ending ambition and apparently my undeniable cruelty to those who weren't a part of the Allies. It was within my master’s degree when I became the go-to girl if you needed something to be 'cleared up.' I was and still am unstoppable, and to this day I’m fear by all those who have heard the stories. I love how rumors fly, the most outrageous seemed to be the truth, I love it. But those who didn't know me just yet would scoff before I would give them a permanent story to remember. It is the fear that I relish in, despite the fact that Dario would be the heir apparent; I would be the one who ran the show, that was for damn sure. However, five years ago, I was needed in Valkyrie, to observe and look around a bit, because it was obvious that something were to go down with such a high presence of my allies and enemies all in an insignificant California town. It was intuition or what have you, but it was vital for at least myself to be present. So in order to have an alibi along with something entertaining to accomplish, asides from brewing the Cosa Nostra, I also applied at the Valkyrie school of Medicine. I had nearly perfect grades; only ambiguity was that some of the time I would have been called away for ‘business purposes,’ which left some minor spots on my grade point average, damn it. Having an eidetic memory came in handy and such a long record of academic excellence, it would have been absurd for the University of Valkyrie NOT to accept me into their program. Granted the likes of Valkyrie medicine paled in comparison to John Hopkins or other prestigious, but it would do. Not like I was getting her MD from some sketch ‘institute’ in the Caribbean with ads displayed on the television.
So many things happened after I shifted to California... besides Nonna becoming overly grandmotherly about how skinny I became and how I should find a spouse and push children out of my ladybits. Ew, no... since Nonna had my dad when she was twenty, I should already be onto my second miniature human. Within this time, Maggie got married, I finally found a reliable gunrunner, and my business grew into Europe and bits of Asia. It was nice when things worked out like this. I received my MD, and I started to work in the ER. I still work in the ER, but lately I’ve been lingering around the surgery lectures within the hospital. I think I might just try it out, why not? I have the dexterity for it. Oh do I still work with my ‘family business?’ of course I do, I wouldn’t leave that for almost anything. Right now, I’ve stepped back a little from the business, not by much, but I’m just letting Father try to teach Dario the ropes. I hope he’s like my father though, as to not to get in my way when things need to be done crisp and clear. But Dario and I have always had differing ideas and we argue frequently, thus I cannot completely rule out an upcoming war once father passes...However, right now, I’m just trying to get the business bigger, get those stories of fear out. I want to be infamous.“

THE EARTHQUAKE
BETWEEN HEAVEN AND HELL
THE EARTHQUAKE
[/b]SO, YOU KNOW THE EARTHQUAKE THAT OCCURRED ON JANUARY 7TH, 2012?
“Yes, I’m aware, I was technically working that day at the hospital, mind you. So I was busy, more so than usual.”
WHERE WERE YOU THE DAY OF THE EARTHQUAKE? WHAT DID YOU DO?
“I was at the hospital when the earthquake occurred, actually I was playing a video game with Miah, this great little twelve year old in the pediatric ward. Things just hit the fan though, and when the earthquake stopped, I immediately went to work, the emergency room was electric in the amount of people injured. “
DID YOU KNOW ANYONE THAT WAS AFFECTED BY THE EARTHQUAKE?
"Do I know? Please, I work in the ER, that day and the days and weeks after were people who were affected by the earthquake. Even now, I have patients come in because of the damned earthquake. So yes, I know a multitude of people who have been affected. You’re good at interviewing...Idiot. "
WELL, THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO TALK TO ME. HOPE YOU HAVE A NICE REST OF YOUR DAY.[/blockquote][/blockquote][/size]
