"Hey Hendrick!" Al excitedly greeted as he waved at his cousin's friend and his recruiter to the Mafia.
"Al." Hendrick said in a somber tone and a low voice as he nodded at the young man.
Al couldn't help but notice his sudden odd behavior. It was as if he was distancing himself from Al, treating him more like he would one of the bosses like Al's uncles rather than as a friend.
Al made a mental note to speak to Hendrick later on. He couldn't keep going about like this, people would realize that his own recruiter treated him oddly and soon enough his identity would be revealed.
Aside from that, Al didn't want Herndrick to see him as the boss' son. He was still the same person and they were still friends.
He knew that Hendrick probably needed more time to adjust, especially now that he was suddenly thrust into two very important roles after discovering his best friend's real identity.
