"Surveillance"
(ATTN: Rath/Forbes McCready)
Two days have passed since you accepted the assignement. You have gathered preliminary info on the ailing Don, and are aware that the man was almost murdered at the hands of his number one aide, Tony Zeta.
Yesterday, you gathered info from the hospital on the man's wounds, without having to make any bodies. So far, so good. A clean bit of surveillance.
Your current priority is to set up surveillance outside of Don Marco's estate, and monitor the man as he proceeds through daily activities. Set up clear enough that you are not detected by Capella's many "employees".
"Recruitment Drive"
(ATTN: capteucalyptus/Othello Redman)
(ATTN: Tony Ryan/Mickey Hoffman)
The two of you have been "paired" to work together for the time being. The minor irritation that provides has just been overshadowed by an important assignement.
The weasel's voice is shrill over Othello's cell phone. "The two of you are needed to locate and to... take custody... of one Mr. Danny Tivoli, a former mafia henchman. Our investigation shows that Mr. Tivoli is soon to be a very coveted possession in Coldstone."
A pause follows.
"So yes, Mr. Hoffman. He will be needed alive. Feel free to alleviate any resistance. Your accounts will be covered for minor expenses. MINOR. I have been instructed to repeat that."
"Mr. Tivoli... aka "Three Rings" Tivoli was last reported being 'escorted' out of the Renaissance Gardens (fine dining) by several, potentially armed men. These are likely mafia thugs taking him to be exectued. THIS CANNOT BE ALLOWED. He has vital information that we need. be on the lookout for no less than four, potentially armed men."
"Cleaning House"
(ATTN: Poxy/Paulie DiVialoso)
(ATTN: Fett/Frank Tobiasi)
As the two of you plot your move, you feel the crunch of time gnawing at you. Shortly the men will be out of reach, possibly splitting up and going their separate ways for the evening. Now is the time to act.
"The Promotion"
(ATTN: Katanga/Roman Carvaggio)
(ATTN: Verbal/Tony Delpino)
(ATTN: Voltes/Dino Morinelli)
Roman, you have been watching over the Don as he rests, still a long way to a healthy recovery. Inside the palatial Capella mansion, things are quiet.
Until an unsettling chrip shakes the air. Your personal cell vibrates in your pocket. You move away from the ailing figurehead to take the call. It must be urgent to be on you personal line.
An unfamiliar voice (call marked "out of area") greets you and spills forth the following:
"Your boys at Jasmine's Den are about to pay the Reaper. Never forget who put you where you are."
Dial tone. If the threat is real, you have one call to make. You can only hope that Tony and Dino remembered their pagers...
***
Dino has spent some time gathering info from strippers, enjoying the attention that a "made" man gets in this part of town.
Tony, you have been chatting it up with Delilah, a brunette who you had hoped held a bit more info. Unfortunately, she is as sharp as a bowling ball, and doesn't catch the drift of your twenty dollar suggestions. The broad just keeps dancing closer and closer. You turn to Dino in disgust, only to see three red lights dotting his back, coming from behind the dancing stage...
"The Raid"
(ATTN: GAC/Vinnie Mancuso)
(ATTN: Blunt/Vigril Abrizza)
(ATTN: Waco/Lou Ricelli)
The three of you emerge from the tunnel into the back room of a laundromat. Steam has filtered through this place, leaving the ground quite damp.
There seems to be no sign of followers behind you, as Lou slides a large, worn out dryer over the tunnel exit.
You can see through the fogged glass, that there are two patrolmen inside the laundromat, seraching the area. After holding still and remaining quiet, you see them exit the facility, standing watch nead their squad car. other than the two black blobs and the whipping blue/red lights, the rest is too hard to make out through the steamed glass.
As the three of you plan your departure, none of you can shake the idea that this has the feel of a set-up. These cops should have been paid to "forget" all about your operation. But things are strangely out of place today.
Whatever the case, you can't sit around forever. Between the three of you mooks, someone has to have a plan...
"The Delivery"
(ATTN: Blofeld/Tony "Alto")
(ATTN: Whitehead/Jimmy Palooka)
Tony, you look over your book to see a burly crane operator, a bit too greasy lumber your way, a pair of sidekicks in tote.
"You!" the man shouts, hinting at his fourth grade education. "You are coming to the work office with us... now!"
You see what looks like cash poking out of his loose shirt pocket. The three sets of furrowed brows seem intent on dragging you if need be to their destination.
Whatever the case, you have a decision to make. None of the men are armed. You have a pistol tucked away just in case. Of course, you were mostley just checking things out, so it doesn't have to end in blood. But that sure would be fun...
