"Nightmares of darkness, my appetite is heartless/Even if we're related you'll get eliminated regardless."
-LL Cool J, "Deepest Bluest"

Antonio was still giddy with satisfaction.  Kroeber was an arrogant bastard, but nevertheless the man yielded results.  Antonio sat in his office on top of his restaurant/club, The Deuces and thought to himself while his ghouls fetched his longtime friend, "Cap".  Taking care of Neil Baxter was an excellent source of satisfaction.  His entire body, even his false eye, seemed to glow with enthusiasm.  He had killed three birds with one stone:  First, he had not just killed but diablerized Neil, removing a thorn in his side as well as absorbing his power and soul.  Second, he had shown Aldred's arrogant @ss why one should never cross one surnamed Giovanni.  Those Camarilla types need to be humbled, he thought to himself, and if Aldred wanted to make something of it, he'd splatter the city with Aldred's blood. Just then, Vincenzo "Cap" Montebello came into the office.  Cap was huge, though shorter than Antonio.  They both fit the "goodfella" appearance, and then some. 
  "Cap," Antonio immediately said, "Recent times have been difficult, but are about to get better.  Much, much better."  It was a sentiment that Cap did not share, for he thought that screwing the Camarilla and making a deal with the Sabbat was a big mistake. But he kept it to himself, as Antonio continued.  "Your assistance in eliminating Neil Baxter was much appreciated.  The Camarilla alliance was holding us back, and in lieu of the recent uprising amongst our employees they have proved to be worthless.   And you have served our clan flawlessly for a long time, old friend.  Are you ready to become a made man?"
  "Was Antonio kidding?", Cap thought to himself.  "I have been waiting for half a century for this night."  But he merely said aloud, "Yes, I'm with you 100%."  With that, Antonio replied, "Good.  We have big plans for the future, and I'm confident you will not fail me.  Come, it is time for us to meet at the rendevous and make this official.  And as of tonight and from now on, call yourself Vincenzo Giovanni."

The Giovanni Clan has seen prosperous times since Antonio severed the alliance with the Camarilla.  However, one has to wonder how long this will last.  The Camarilla will obviously come for revenge if they ever find themselves in a position to.  The Sabbat have an alliance with them, but little does Antonio know that one of Kroeber's Bishops is a member of the Harbinger of Skulls, formerly known as the Cappadocians.  That is not a good sign for the Giovanni, especially given that they have no knowledge of his existence...
