Chapter 234
Massimo
After breakfast I walked Rachel to the hotel’s spa. “Relax today sweetheart, hopefully I can sort everything out today then you and me will have alone time tonight.” “I can’t wait to have you in bed Massimo.” “Oh really?” I teased her. “Yes, even if it’s just to fall asleep in your arms.” She gave me a wicked smile. I kissed her on the head then left. Marco was standing at the front door of the spa, and I decided to leave Aldo with Marco he was outside walking the parameter. On my way to the conference room, I saw Enzo entering the conference room. When I walked in Luca, Davide and Enzo was there. “I just got of the phone with my contact boss.” “Yes and?” “It’s Bernardi. His giving the other families grief and they voted him out of the Mafia he was making deals with people the Capo mandamento didn’t approve of. According to my source he wants to get out of Sicily because he can’t do business here.” “Well guys then we need to meet with one of the Capo Mandamento then they can take it further.” “What are we going to do with the meeting Thursday?” Davide asked. We need to speak to the Capo first before we have any meeting.” “I might have a way in.” Enzo said, “I’m listening Enzo?” “I can get a meeting with Little Nick, he can take it further.” “Then make that appointment Enzo.” “Boss they are hard core Mafia, us in New York don’t come near them.” “Noted Enzo, know make that appointment preferable for today.” Enzo left the conference room and left Davide, Luke and me to contemplate what to do next. “Bella made a good assumption if it is Bernardi which we now know it is the cartel will know where we are staying.” “Boss they won’t try anything during the day.” Davide said, “I know that Davide we just need to be more careful that’s all.” Enzo walked back into the room “He’ll see us know.” “Where?” “His on his way here.” “Why?” “They saw the car that burned out, they heard there was new people in town and guessed it was us and wanted to talk to us about it.” “Well, it’s neutral territory that can only mean they don’t see us as a threat. Davide go get a bottle of tequila, scotch and whiskey let’s cover all the basis and water.” “On it boss” Davide ran out and came running back with the stuff I asked him for behind him followed a waiter with ice and glasses. I tipped him and he left us. Everything was just in place when there was a knock on the door then it just opened without anyone inviting the person or persons in.
“So, who here is Marchetti?” I walked forward. “That will be me, Massimo Marchetti, I’m taking it you are Little Nick?” “That I am. What are you doing in Sicily and why did you burn a car with 2 bodies?” “Can we take a seat, and I can explain everything to you. Let’s just say Bernardi is in the middle of this whole mess.” “Cazzo! Get me a drink.” Little Nick took a seat watching the door I decided to sit opposite him I didn’t want to sit at the head of the table in his town. “What did that shit head do know?” “Well, he contacted me and asked me to negotiate with the Gulf Cartel according to him the Gulf Cartel was going to take over some cities in Italy and he played on my loyalty to the Mafia families and told me the Gulf Cartel will not take territory if they get a piece of New York. We were supposed to meet on Thursday to get the nitty gritty out of the way, but my men received information they were already dealing in Milan. My men went there, and they took over Ferrari’s territory. They also tried to go after Napels.” “Who on earth is so stupid? I take it the Camorra’s took them out?” “Yes, they did they send the pieces back to Mexico. They also helped my men and my wife out when they where in Milan and was chased by the Cartel. They offered to keep the rest of Italy clean of any cartel members.” “That’s decent of them.” “I thought so too. Obviously, they can’t help in Sicily.” “They not needed here. We can deal with any cartel members ourselves.” “I’m very sure of that Bernardi made it sound as if you are not able to deal with them.” “I should have killed that mother fucker when he first stepped out of line.” “If I may ask, what did he do?” “No, you may not ask. Now what happened last night?” “Since we landed in Sicily, he knew every move we where making. My wife and I were having dinner at a pizzeria when he showed up and demanded we go back to his place where he wanted to know everything. What happened in Milan? What happened in Napels? And what my plans are for the Cartel in New York. I told him the Camorra’s will take care of the rest of Italy and I’m not going to give the Cartel a piece of New York. He wasn’t very happy and tried to insist I give them a piece for Sicily’s sake. I told him the families here can sort that out he just needed to talk to you guys. That made him as white as a sheet.” “I can imagine.” “And the burned-out car?” “It was cartel members following us we cornered them and the opened fire on us we where just protecting ourselves.” “Well Massimo if I can call you Massimo?” “Yes of course.” “From this point onwards, you are on holiday with your wife. You don’t interact with Bernardi, and you don’t leave the Hotel.” “I’m guessing the meeting is at Bernardi’s home?” “Yes, it is.” “What time?” “It’s at 12 pm.” “Fine then I’ll meet you here and we can all drive to Bernardi’s house Thursday and sort this shit out. I will leave some of my men on the Hotel property for your protection because Bernardi definitely told them where you are staying.” “Thank you, Nick.” “If Bernardi steps foot in this Hotel my men will escort him out and give him a silly excuse why you are on my radar. He’s so dumb he will fell for it.” “We will appreciate it.” “Then my work here is done.” Little Nick got up and so did we all and he was gone just as fast as he entered the conference room. “Oh my God.” Was all I could say…
