Brooklyn, New York City, 1943, America. They called me Kie. Its not my real name you know.. The name is Kieran. Kieran Leonard. Nothing much I can tell about myself. The only thing I can tell is me and my mother lived in Brooklyn. In a poor district. My father died in the war. In our district, I only have one friend.. Best friend. His name Donatello Di Pace. Now Im telling you what happened to me. I was cooking at the kitchen for my mother. Because shes sick. Suddenly I heard our house doorbell ringing. My mother shout from her room. Kieran.. Open the door please! Okay mother.. I Open the door and I saw my friend Donatello. His face.. its not the usual Donatello.. Morning Donatello.. How are you? Kie! Your uncle Paul, and my father.. theyre shot by the local mobsters! What in the world!! Wheres my uncle now? They took them to the hospital. Okay.. You go there first. I have to take care my mother first. Kieran..! What is it Donn..? Do not let your mother know this happen. Okay.. I close the door and I resume my cooking. After that Ill go to the hospital to see my uncle. My uncles and Donatellos father room are at 221. Uncle..! Uncle..! You okay..? Yes kid.. Dont worry about us.. We barely made it.. Thank God!

I saw my uncle suit. Its badly damaged by the bullet, and theres so many blood on it. What happen Uncle..? Why did you get shot by those mobsters? Donatellos father too! What happened? Kieran.. It is time that you know our true family jobs. What job uncle? Huh? What job? A mobsters? Those Mafias thing? Actually.. Yes.. Youre right. Its our family job since.., I dont want to know!

Its my grandfather matter! Yes kid.. I know.. We know.. But no one else protecting the Leons. So we are the last hope to protect the Leon. But now, its gone.. Leon..?? Our family name kid..

Ok.. our rival family The Vercetti, killed your father before he went to the war. So my father..!! Hes not killed in the battlefield!! Hes killed by a mob..?? Yes kid.. Im so sorry..

Since my uncle said the rival family name, the word Vercetti always crossed my mind. It full of vengeance.. I cant hold this feeling and I must avenge my fathers death. Actually I cant kill.. and I dont want to kill.. But seriously, I cant hold my thirst of vengeance.. I never felt like this before.. When I know my father died in the war, I dont have the feelings. But when I know the mob killed my father, the thirst of vengeance come to me drastically.. Uncle.. Did the Vercettis shot you..? Yes.. You must take back our family uncle! With what..?? A broken leg with a broken arm plus a bullet in my shoulder..?? No thank you.. Why not you do it kid.. hehehehe.. Okay. Ill do it.. No kid.. Im just kidding.. You dont have to do it.. Uncle..

Yes.. I know it from my uncle.. Hes a mobster too. I should have known.. He seems to be so sad to know his father is a mob.. I think he doesnt want to become one of thouse crime families.. I think he wont come with me to my Grandfathers house. Donn.. Do you feel anything inside you that you really want to unleash it? Yes.. Regrets Regrets? Yes.. Why? No vengeance? Nothing such like that? What do you mean? Like avenging my father? Well Yeah! Actually I kinda feel it.. But Ill try to hold it back Kie.. Then follow me Donn.. Where to..?? Youll see..
