Samuel Recounts Uncle Harold: (Samuel was 16 when he was cut up, Arnie would've been 5)
"No one talks about Uncle Harold, and there's a reason for that" Samuel growls.
"He set me up when i was a teenager. Sent me to some warehouse to work out a new deal with some new gang from Olympia. Everything seemed fine when I arrived, but when I went in..."  
Sammy raises his hand to his throat, scratching uncomfortably at the scar.
"Harold was there. He didn't cut me himself the coward, but he ordered one of our enemies' bosses to do it. Dad busted in of course, and the boss was shot to shit. But not Harold."
You think you see him turn a pale shade of green.
"Dad was a creative man. He took Harold into the basement, put him under, and put a three-pronged fish hook in each of his lungs, running some high quality fishing line up his trachea and out of his mouth..." Samuel shivers involuntarily.
"When he woke up, each line was tied to a pipe on the ceiling. He had to stand there, staring straight up, or else the hooks would rip into his lungs. Dad kept him alive via an IV, and he stayed alive for two weeks... Until we came down one evening and.... he'd dropped himself to his knees. We don't know if he just gave up, or if his muscles gave in, but it wasn't a pretty sight."

The scar on his arm: 
Tuck thought he was actually hurting Tommy when they fought as teenagers, so he git into Sammy's arm to stop him.
