"… There's one more thing to address. You haven't mentioned Claudia. What does she have to do with all this, and where is she?"

Mustering up the nerve to do the one thing he was trained to do, Luke sat up in his seat with confidence. If he wanted to set things right with the five families, he needed to tell the Godfather himself. 

"Don Ricci—"

"Call me Sal, son." 

"Sal… The woman inside with your wife is not Apollonia." 

"It's not? So, that's Claudia?" 

"No sir. I don't know how to tell you this other than just be straight with you. That woman is their missing sister. Her name is Poppy Fields. I'm sure you noticed she's got an American accent and wasn't speaking much. She doesn't speak Italian because when she was kidnapped she ended up in the US." 

In utter disbelief, the man stood from his seat, pacing the floor. "This can't be true. She's been missing for years. We thought she was dead."
