Prologue
"I am Max Payne. my wife and daughter were murderd,It had something to do with the designer drug "V". I transfered from the NYPD to the DEA,went undercover to find their killers,I got too close,i was framed for murder. With nothing to lose,i went after the mafia during the worse winter storm in the century.
My first stop was vinnie gognitti,a low-life in the habit of taking his frustrations out on under-aged call girls. i left him bleeding in an alley after i'd gotten what i wanted from him. I met mona sax in a gothic night-club,ragnarock. she was a hired killer. we were after the same man,her sister's sadistic husband. i was drawn to her for all the wrong reasons.
I made a deal with vladimir lem,the russian was a smooth operator,he helped me get to the mob boss i was after,but i was in over my head,the government was involved. A mistery man called alfred woden told me the name of my real enemy:Nicole Horne. woden and horne were both members of a secret society,the inner circle. she was behind "V",behind everything.
While working for the DEA,my wife had accedently seen papers that incriminated horne. woden promised to take care of the charges against me if i took horne out. Deputy chief jim bravura of the NYPD was trailing me by the empty shell casings that i left behind. gunshots made me deaf to the sirens,but they couldn't drown the sobs of my dead wife.
Mona sided with me against Horne. She took a bullet for that. hey body disappeared behind closing elevator doors. I killed Horne. I gave myself up to the police,i had enough evidence against woden to know that he'd keep his promise,I lied to myself that it was over,i was still alive,my loved ones were still dead. It wasn't over."
"After serving my time at jail,i got back to the NYPD,to the station. Mona Sax was not dead. she was two sided,while she was working with me to get the killers of my wife and daughter,she worked with vlad and the mafia,but she was dead now,vladimir lam,in his words "Dearest of all my friends",had become an enemy,and although she was dead now,i still loved her,nothing could take that pain away.
it's funny how life turns in a split second,Mona was dead now,I killed vlad,Mona was working for vlad,she was a part of the society,but killing members of it. the one i never could trust,was vinny gognitti,was actually on my side always,until vlad killed him too,they were all dead,love kills. but i'm still alive,i'm still Max Payne.
