Chapter 210
Massimo
“Welcome Ramano.” “Cut the bullshit Marchetti, why am I here?” “We need to wait for the rest Ramano, can I get you something to drink so long?” “Scotch on the rocks” Luca poured him a scotch and put it in front of him. He took the glass and drank it in one go. Fuck what was going on did they know already. Davide came in with Costa and Edcardo, both of them also looked pissed. “Edcardo, Costa, welcome.” “Marchetti” was all they said. “Can we begin know Marchetti I have other things to do.” Costa barked. “Can Luca get you something to drink?” “Just water for me.” Edcardo said. “Another” Ramano barked. “I’ll have what Ramano is having.” Costa said. Luca gave them their drinks. “Now can we begin Marchetti?” Ramano said again. “We need to wait for Damon.” Costa got to his feet “Why on earth do we need to wait for Damon his not Mafia and I’m sure he hasn’t got anything to do with what you going to tell us.” “That’s where you wrong Costa.” Damon said as he strolled into the room, he walked over to the fridge and took himself a water. “Well Marchetti everyone is present, can we start?” Edcardo said. “Yes, we have a problem. Bernardi phoned me that’s why you all are here.” “Again, Mafia business has nothing to do with Damon.” Costa said. Jeez did Damon pissed him off or something. “Costa if you let me finish you’ll understand why Damon is here.” “Well get to the point.” Costa barked again. “As I was saying, Bernardi phoned, Italy is in trouble a Mexican Cartel wants to take over Italy.” “They can’t it’s our legacy.” Edcardo said. “Yes well they can basically do whatever they want and we all know it, the fact that they came to Bernardi to warn him was a good sign, they want to negotiate.” “Let them take Italy” Costa said. That had Ramano and Edcardo screeming at Costa. Things like ‘We have family there, businesses and Italy is Mafia ground not Mexican cartel.’ “Guys can we calm down there is more. They told Bernardi they will negotiate territory if they can get a piece of New York. And before you all jump up to scream at me, just remember they didn’t have to negotiate at all. We are small business against any Mexican Cartel.” “Which Cartel will this be?” Ramano asked “The Gulf Cartel.” “Thank God it’s not the Sinaloa’s.” Edcardo said “That was my words as well Edcardo.” “But we can’t give in to them Marchetti.” Costa said. “What do you suggest Costa? You want them to just come in and do whatever they want, take whatever they want?” “Off course not” Costa said. “We are doomed if we do and doomed if we don’t” Edcardo said. “Why do you say that Edcardo?” “Because we all know this is a smoke screen to get footing in New York, they don’t want a piece of New York Massimo, they want the whole of New York.” “I’m thinking the same thing Edcardo, so what is the suggestions? Do we give them Italy and maybe loose New York as well?” “No we can’t give them Italy that’s sacred ground.” Ramano said. “That’s my feeling as well Ramano. Where does it leave us?” “I’m sure you already have an idea, otherwise Damon wouldn’t have been so quiet.” Costa said. Luca walked over to the table with the card. He laid it down on the table, “Okay we marked everyone’s territory, we also marked the places we all hate because of the people making their own drugs and selling it. That’s the places I suggest we give to them. They can get rid of the home brewers and take that areas, if someone overdose or heaven forbid they lace there cocaine with fentanyl then we know where it comes from.” “You know they won’t stick to that part of town, right Marchetti” Costa asked “Yes Costa I’m well aware, I’ve told Frank at the FBI my plan. His not happy but we don’t have a chose. We can only put pressure on them when they leave their territory and with pressure I mean calling Frank and the FBI involved not a turf war. No one will be able to help us out of a situation like a turf war, please remember that.” “Who’s negotiating with them, it can’t be Bernardi?” Ramano asked. “We have a month then there will be a meeting in Italy, I need to be there. They want to speak to me.” “Good because I’m sure Bernardi won’t be able to handle that, his used to not being challenged I don’t think he has it in him to fight back. His to set in his ways.” Edcardo said. “That is true Edcardo, but I’m going through to do the negotiating.” “Good” everyone said. “Are you guys happy with what I’m suggesting?” “We don’t have a choice if we are happy or not.” Costa said. “I understand Costa, I will suggest we tell our connections in the NYPD as well, then everyone will be on high alert.” “I already told my contacts” Damon said. “Good, the rest do the same as I get more information on when they’ll ‘move’ in I’ll keep you guys updated at all times. Is there anything else we need to talk about?” “What’s going on with the Ricci situation?” Ramano asked “Everything is under control, nothing points at any of you, Frank is handling it.” “Good, then I have nothing else.” Ramano said. “Costa, Edcardo anything from you guys?” “No we good.” “Damon?” “No I’m good” “Then the meeting is adjourned.” Everyone got up except Damon, good I need to talk to him. Edcardo waited for everyone to walk out before he came to me “Edcardo?” “Just want to know how your wife is doing Marchetti?” “She’s getting there, thank you Edcardo.” “If she needs to speak to someone that went through the same my wife said she’s available.” “Thank you, I’ll definitely tell her.” “No problem Marchetti, we need to stick together, especially now.” “I couldn’t agree more.” When I closed the door Damon said “Jeez I thought they’ll fight a little more.” “They know it’s not worth fighting over Damon. The Cartel will do whatever they want to with or without our permission.” “Then why ask for permission Massimo, that’s what I’m not getting?” I’ve been racking my brain about that as well Damon, something isn’t sitting right with me, but I can only work with the information I have. I have everyone digging and phoning contacts to find out if there is something more going on, that we don’t know of.” “I did the same Massimo.” “I’m glad you stayed behind I need to talk to you about something.” “What’s wrong? Is Rachel and the babies okay?” “Yes we had a scan and everyone is good.” “That’s good news. So this is business?” “Yes, I’m thinking of leaving the drug business?” “What the fuck Massimo.”
