*******************************************************************************

Scene A

I gagged as I could feel the life being slowly strangled out of me. I
couldn't die. Not this way. With what little energy I had, I elbowed the
guy in the face.

"Fuck," He cried out in pain as he grabbed his face. I grabbed my cell
phone and rushed out of the car and towards the woods near the school. I
didn't want to run inside and put anybody else in danger.  I dialed
Robert's number frantically in my phone and waited for it to ring. I rushed
around looking for somewhere to hide out at. I saw a huge rock and crouched
by it, hoping to be safe from the guy.

"Shit," I said as I hung up with no answer. I tried to dial Martino but I
realized I was out of service. "Oh, I am so switching to Verizon if I
survive this."

"Gabriel..." The guy called out as he walked through the woods. "Where you
at man? Look, I tried to go easy on you man. I don't want to kill you...but
orders are orders and it's my life...or your life. So..well, I am sure you
can understand."

I closed my eyes praying that he would go in a different direction and not
find me behind this rock.

"Gabe?" He called out again. His voice sounded so near and close by as if
he was only feet from me.

My cell begin ringing "Halo" by Beyonce, which meant Robert was calling me
back.

"Got ya," He said running towards the sound of the ringing phone. He saw
the phone but no me.

"No, Got you," I said running up behind him and hitting hard over the head
with a branch. I had thrown the cell away from me out of anger. I rushed
over and got it. "Robert?"

"Gabe, where are you?" He asked worried. "You're car is empty and..."

"I am in the woods by..." I began but I was tackled to the ground by the
guy and the phone flew out of my hand.

"Gabe!" Robert yelled out in the phone.

"Robert, help me," I screamed out but My mouth was covered by the guy. He
was a lot bigger than I was and was crushing my thin frame with his body.
"I tried to go easy on you but you had to resist," The guy grunted. "Now
will you die a painful death." He put a gun to my head and pinned me down
with his hand on my bag.

I refused to be a victim twice in the same week. My foot went up into his
balls hard and he cried out in pain.

"You know..." I said kicking him hard in the face, the same spot where I
had elbowed him. "That looks like it hurt." I said kicking him hard in the
balls again and again, making sure he wouldn't get up easily.

Once, I realized he wasn't going to be moving for awhile, I turned and
begin walking out of the woods.

"You know, if I can't kill you...I am going after your little brother," He
said as he wheezed in pain. I stopped in my tracks. I turned and walked
back towards him and grabbed his gun laying on the ground.

"Try doing that when you're dead," I said shooting him in his throat. "You
should know that I am a lot nicer than my brothers...Until, you mess with
my little brother." I pointed at his crotch and fired a shot there. He
tried to scream out but couldn't because I had destroyed his voice
box. "Don't ever...Threaten him again." I pointed the gun at him to fire a
final shot but I couldn't outright kill him. I threw the gun down and
turned to leave as I saw Robert and Joe walking towards me.

"Gabe...You alright?" Joe asked me as he looked past me to see the
incapacitated attacker bleeding all over the woods.

"Make sure he doesn't die," I said walking past the two of them. "I am not
a murderer."

Scene B

"GABE!" Martino yelled as he hugged me tightly. Frankie and Carmine rushed
over and grabbed us into a big hug.  "Man, I heard that you were attacked
at school," Carmine said as we broke apart. "I heard that you did some
damage to him as well."

"Damage?" Frankie asked with a nervous look. "He destroyed the guys vocal
ability and dick. Remind me never to make you mad, Gabe."

"He threaten Donnie," I said softly. Frankie, Martino, and Carmine looked
at each other with heated looks.

"They are going after Donnie?" Martino asked getting angry. "He's fucking
11."

"And the kid that dad shot was fucking 13," I said angrily. "They are both
kids. Hell, we are kids. We shouldn't be doing this. I should have just let
him kill because...Now they are going after our little brother."

"No, they aren't," My dad said as he walked out of his office with a man
with gray hair.

"Dad, what the hell?" Martino asked shocked. "What the hell are you doing
with Tony Capricio?"

"Saving my son's lives," Dad said motioning for us to take a seat. "The
highly outspoken one is Martino. These two are Frankie and
Carmine...and...Well, you know Gabriel."

I looked at the man warily with a suspicious look. He smiled warmly at me.

"Please no hard feelings, Gabriel," He said extending his hand to me for me
to shake.  I rolled my eyes and walked past him to take a seat beside
Frankie.

"Boys, our family...as a whole...screwed up royally," Dad began. "We
attacked an innocent young bystander and by fair retaliation he went after
my innocent son...Gabriel."

"I loved Tommy with all my heart," Tony Capricio said sadly, tearing
up. "He was an excellent football player. He was starting high school next
year."

"No offense but this nostalgic moment really isn't explaining what you are
doing here," Carmine said looking at Tony with the same suspicious look as
I had. "Are people going to come in here and start shooting us up or
something? If so, I got my glock ready to go."

Dad shot Carmine a dark look. "While there is no price for the life of a
child, I paid Tony $4 million to protect all you boys," He explained. "I
have also agreed to keep out of his business ventures and he will do the
same for me."

Tony got up and stood up. "Speaking of business ventures," He said with a
smile. "I have a business meeting in the next twenty minutes and
arrangements for my son's funeral. It was a pleasure meeting you boys and I
hope next time we meet, it will be under better circumstances. Again
Gabriel, no hard feelings."

"Trust me, there are hard feelings," I said as he walked past us and exited
out of the club.

"Dad, you took the bitch way out," Carmine spat out. "We could've fought
instead of paying him all that hush money."

"Carmine, you idiot, the Capricio is a powerful family," Frankie said
annoyed. "Dad made a good move because it could cost more to have a battle
than to just pay the man off."

"I don't trust him," Martino said shaking his head.

"And I don't trust you," I Said to dad. "Dad, how could you? You have
people working for you, who screw up and then you put my life in danger by
their fuck ups. You are a fuck up."

"Watch your mouth, Gabriel," Dad said sternly. "No matter what mistakes I
make, I am still your father."  "By sperm donation only," I said to
him. "You are not a father. You are just a sorry excuse for one."

"Gabe, ease up man," Frankie said defending dad. "He made a few mistakes
over the years. We are all entitled to them."

"A mistake is when you do or say something that you don't know is wrong," I
said to my brother. "He knows all the stuff he has done forever has been
wrong. That's not called a mistake. That's called not giving a fuck."

I got up and walked out of the club leaving a stunned Frankie, Martino, and
Carmine sitting with dad.

"Make sure he is at the meeting tonight," Dad said annoyed as he got up and
headed into his office.

Carmine looked at Frankie and Martino. "I still say, our family should so
be on Jerry Springer," He said with a laugh.

********************************************************************************

Scene C

Robert sat nervously in my dad's office. He wasn't sure what was going on
right about now but dad didn't sound to happy when he called earlier.

"Robert D'ambrossio," Dad said walking into his office. Robert made a move
to stand, out of respect but dad placed his hand on his shoulder. "Don't
bother. How are you?"

"I'm...I'm good," Robert said nervously. "I wanted to say that I am sorry
about not getting to Gabriel in time..."

"Don't worry about it," Dad said with a smile. "Gabriel proved today that
he is highly resourceful and is stronger than I thought. He might actually
be my son after all."

Robert laughed uncomfortably as he still didn't know what this meeting was
about and he hated not knowing. Dad had meetings with guys who often didn't
return after the meeting.

"But it is Gabriel that I wanted to talk to you about," Dad said sitting
back in his chair. "You two are pretty close."

"Um...yeah, He is a great friend," Robert said, hoping dad didn't know
about our relationship. "Best friend."

"Oh, come on, Robert son," Dad said with a smile. "You know it is more than
that. You two are really close."

"Like brothers," Robert said getting more uncomfortable by Dad's ice blue
eyes staring him down.

"Robert, are you going to seriously insult my intelligence or will you
admit to what we already know is true?" Dad asked sternly.

Robert sighed and looked at Dad with a confident look on his face. "Gabriel
and I...we are a couple."

"Were," Dad corrected. "You used the wrong word. See are would mean that
after you leave this office, the relationship would continue...which it
won't...will it?"

"No sir," Robert said sadly. "No, it won't."

"Because if it does continue...Well, there are things worse than death,"
Dad said to Robert. "Robert, you have a lot of people that look up to you
and respect you. A leader that is a fag...well, I cant have that."

"But it's okay for your son to be a fag as you called it?" Robert asked
him.

Dad chuckled to himself. "Is it okay? No, it's not okay however my
son...well, he gets a special treatment that most people who work under me
don't get."

"What if I refuse to stop seeing him?" Robert asked him. "You're going to
kill me?"

"Like I said, Robert...There are things worse than death," Dad said to
him. "See, I put two and two together to make four...Four months you been
going at this. I knew about your love interest that has been sending you
notes and writing you emails...The grunts talk and say how they wish they
had a girl that was devoted to you as your girl was...Only that girl wasn't
a girl. It was my then 15 year old son. I would say that was illegal...but
that would be kind of a double standard, huh? But in those four
months...all these beautiful women here at the club..the ones you hooked up
with. Tell me, does Gabriel know about them?"

"We weren't in a good place then," Robert said looking down at his feet.

"But you were together," Dad said nodding his head. "No, I am not going to
kill you. If you ever...Ever go over the line with my son again...I will
destroy your reputation and then...when you have nothing. You will kill
yourself." Dad walked outside of the room and pulled a beautiful blonde in
with him. "Here is your new love interest. She is
beautiful...curvy...horny...and not my son."

Robert looked at my dad and looked at the girl. Robert had brought himself
up from being dirt poor and provided for his family when his dad died. He
was a highly respected General for my father and he couldn't lose
that...Not for love. Love didn't make him rich. It just made him feel less
lonely in a world where he didn't know who to trust...But his love.

Robert smiled at the girl. "Wanna come back to my place?" He asked her and
my dad smiled warmly at him.

Scene D

Carmine climbed out of the pool with yet another one of his girls. They had
been skinny dipping and having sex all around and in the pool.  "Carmine,
you're fucking hot," She said to him as she pinched his butt.

"Easy on the butt, hon," He said. "You got the wrong mancini who likes ass
play."

Frankie walked outside and frowned at the two. "What the fuck do you think
you are doing?"

"Up until, two minutes ago...Her," Carmine said. "What's your deal?"

"Donnie is fucking home from school, that's what my deal is," Frankie said
folding his arms. "He fucking saw you and came in asked me why you were
hurting that girl."

"Well, better he learn about sex from an experienced person like myself,"
Carmine said throwing the girl a title. "Dry yourself off Chelsea and get
dressed."

"It's Kelsey," She said to him but blushed. "You can call me whatever you
like."

Carmine smiled at his brother. "Dude, she sucked the hell out of my dick,"
He whispered. "Her tounge moved like a cyclone and had me coming all night
long..."

Frankie pushed him. "DUDE! Next time you want to fuck one of your hoes...Do
it where Donnie can't see or hear you," He said angrily.

Carmine was about to shove him back but stopped as he heard
something. "Please tell me that is the school bus."

"The school bus already came, idiot," Frankie said shaking his head. "It's
the trash people coming to get the garbage."

"Fuck," Carmine said running naked towards the front of the house.

Frankie looked at Kelsey who looked at him. "You look so familiar," She
said to him, dumbly.  "You just fucked my twin brother," He said to her.

"No, that's not it," She said shaking her head.

Carmine rushed to see the truck driving off. "FUCK! NO!"

"Dude, cover up before you give these old women around here a heart
attack," Martino said throwing a towel at Carmine.

"Dad is going to have a freaking heart attack," Carmine said
upset. "Remember that body we cut up the night before? The one from that
hit we did on those Jap guy that owed him money."

"Yeah, what about it?" Martino asked as he snorted a line of Coke. Carmine
ignored his brother's blatant drug use.

"Remember how, I was supposed to dispose of it at the grinder place on Main
street?" Carmine asked and Martino stopped and looked up.

"Carmine! You fucking idiot," He said jumping up.

"Sorry...I know I screwed up," Carmine said with a sigh. "But Melanie came
over and...Well, you've seen her."

"Yeah, I can't blame you there," Martino said. "But Still...Frankie is
going to kill you...Then Dad will resurrect you and kill you again."

"That's why we aren't going to tell Frankie or Dad," Carmine said to his
brother.

"Tell Frankie or Dad what?" Frankie asked walking around. Carmine and
Martino said nothing. "Tell Frankie or Dad what?"

Carmine looked at Martino, praying that he wouldn't crack. Martino was
terrible at keeping secrets from Frankie.

"Carmine, didn't get rid of the body he was suppose to get rid of last
night and the garbage people picked it up and now they have it."

"Oh my fucking god," Frankie yelled. "Are you sure any of you are related
to me? I have a junkie brother. A brother who fucks girls and is stupid
enough to let others get a hold of a body he was suppose to get rid
of. Then the other one doesn't want anything to do with what our family
stands for. Carmine, you are fucking retarded."

"Okay, if the name calling is over...what are we going to do?" Carmine
asked him.

"What we always do, bro," Frankie said annoyed. "Save your ass like
always."

Scene E

I got out of my car and walked up the steps to Robert's house. I thought
about knocking but I had a key to his place so I used it. Opening it up, I
walked in and I smelled alcohol.

"Drinking before 5?" I asked myself. "Aw, my baby is depressed over me."

Walking further inside, I saw underwear and his clothes all across the
floor. Then I saw a bra and panties.

"Robert?"  I called out but I got no response.

 I walked up the steps to his bedroom. I could hear banging and grunting.

"Robert?" I asked as I opened the door to see a Red Head on top of him,
riding him.

"GABRIEL!" He said shocked and tossing her off him and onto the floor.

"Oh my god, I can't believe you," I said storming out and down the
stairs. Robert ran behind me and ran in front of me blocking me from
leaving.

"Please Gabe, let me explain," Robert said near crying.

"Explain why your fucking some slut in the same bed you fuck me in?" I
asked him.  "Move, Robert."

"Gabriel please..."

"I said move..." I said punching him across the face. He looked at me with
a shocked look. "I have nothing to say to you and I don't want to look at
you. Just move."

Robert moved out of the way and I opened the door. Before I walked out of
the house, I turned and looked at him.

"Do you love me?" I asked him, tears streaming down my face.

"Yes, I love you," He said to me. "With all my heart."

"I figured you would say that," I said before walking out and closing the
door behind me.

I climbed into my car and drove. I didn't know where I was going but I
found myself at a familiar location.

This park was the same place that Robert took me for a first date, four
months ago. The first place he told me who loved me. The first place I
realized I fell in love.  This park was a place for a lot of first. I lost
my virginity here.

"Fuck this," I said putting the car and driving off.

All I could feel in my heart was pure hatred for Robert for breaking my
heart. No excuses...No sorry...I was hurt.

Scene F

"We are in a garbage truck," Martino said face cringing from the trash
around him. "Oh, fuck! A dead animal carcass...I touched it. Fuck."

"You can see a dead body but you can't handle a dead animal body?" Carmine
asked him.

"I'm weird like that," Martino said with a shrug.

"Hey, Ren &Stimpy, cut the chit-chat and help me find this bag," Frankie
said annoyed.

"Dude, finding this bag is like finding a needle in a haystack," Carmine
said as they ripped open the trash bags.

"Well, think of it this way," Frankie said rifling through a bag full of
shredded papers. "You better find it or Dad will kill you and us just for
the hell of it."

"I got a question for you," Martino said to them. "Do you think that
Gabriel has the right idea? Steering clear of this? I mean we are sifting
through some trash for a dead body after bribing some garbage men."

"I mean yeah, Gabe is smart but he is dumb at the same time," Carmine
said. "He can only try dad's patience so much before Dad gives up and says
fuck it and writes him off. No trust fund. No protection. No nothing. To
me, Gabe is a coward who rather play good than stand up and fight with his
brothers."

"Or maybe we are the cowards because we are too afraid to stand up and
fight with our brother against our father," Frankie said opening a
bag. "Found the body."

The three of them rested against the wall of the truck.

"Gabriel is our angel," Carmine said after a moment of silence.

"An angel who has protected us and intelligence got us out of tough
situations," Martino added.

Frankie sighed. "Now we are going to protect him and keep him from the
meeting tonight.'

Scene G

Dad sat with all his business associates as they drank to the merriment and
watched the beautiful women around them dance.

"Are you excited, Johnathan?" Uncle Giovanni asked dad as he slid money
into the g-string of the dancer around him. "You're Four Quads are becoming
men tonight."

Dad smiled as he thought about the importance of the evening. "Yes, they
all make me proud," Dad said to them all.

Martino, Frankie, and Carmine walked over to dad and said there hellos to
everyone.

"Martino, I am shocked to see you not snorting something son," Dad said to
Martino who blushed slightly. "And Frankie not chastising Carmine for his
treatment of women and Carmine...with no women around him. Where is
Gabriel? In the bathroom I hope."

"He won't be here, Dad," Frankie said with a nervous sigh. "You corrupted
and turned all three of us. Together...We are strong. We don't need
Gabriel. He doesn't need nor want to be apart of this."

Dad got up and beckoned for them to follow after him. "How dare you
embarrass me like that?" He asked his sons. "You all were commanded to
bring Gabriel and make sure he was here."

"Like he said, Gabriel won't be joining us," Carmine said to dad. "Take us
as we come or not at all."

"Guys..." Martino said noticing me walking inside the club.

"What the hell?" Frankie asked as the three of them made their way over to
me.

"Gabe," Robert said as he sat at the bar drinking a drink. I walked past
him and ignored him.

"Didn't you get our text about not coming?" Frankie asked me. "What are you
doing here?"  "I am here to take my part in our family," I said
emotionless.

Carmine looked at me. He can tell I had been crying. He looked over at
Robert who had a depressed look on his face.

"Gabe..." He began.

"We are officially the four brothers, finally," I said to them with a smile
that I was showing emotion I definitely didn't believe in.  Author's Notes:

Into The Moonless Night Episode 2 is now Completed. I hope you guys enjoy
it and please send feedback to let me know if you are or not. I would love
for this story to become a story that readers can get involved in. While my
Halo Series, is original most of the premise of the story it self comes
from everyday things we see on television and read in books. Gay teens
struggling with their idenities and complexities of a gay relationship is a
common thread between a lot of gay authors. It's the story lines inside
Halo that I want to be able to differ from other Author's work.

With into the moonless light, you didn't hear to much about a gay teen in
the mob oriented lifestyle. That is why I want this story to become a thing
where my readers and myself can connect and they can offer ideas as where
they want the story to go and how to make it work. Because honestly, with
Halo I do map out with each episode but with these two chapters of ITMN, I
honestly just type as I go and the ideas pop into my head. But I am curious
to know what you guys would like to see for the story and as you can see,
there are four main characters with four distinct personalities. Perhaps
you have a favorite. How would you like your favorite to be portrayed and
his storylines for the course of the story. My personal favorite is
Carmine.
