New York Stories

[Leprechaun]

Prologue

 

It is 1998. The place is North Chinatown, New York, New York City. Tony Castellano, a tall partly plump Italian man who had slicked black hair and blue eyes got off a coach. He was wearing a brown short-sleeve shirt and black leather pants. A nearby payphone rang. Tony answered it.

“Tony Castellano?” asked the caller.

“Yeah” said Tony.

“Go to the Lombardo Compound ASAP” said the caller.

The caller then hung up. Although Tony hoped to stop and say hello to his friends and mother, orders were orders. Tony then hailed a taxi and told the driver to take him to the Lombardo Compound in Little Italy Heights which was owned by Don Salvatore Lombardo. The taxi arrived promptly in front of the Lombardo Compound. A Lombardo Family mobster came to the driver's window. He was wearing a black pinstriped suit.

“Is Salvatore excepting me?” asked Tony.

“Yeah, come right along” said the Lombardo Family mobster.

Tony got out of the taxi and paid the driver. The Lombardo Family mobster then opened the gates and led Tony through. The gates closed sharply behind them. The Lombardo Family mobster then led Tony across the driveway, onto the patio, through the lounge and to the Don's office. The Lombardo Family mobster knocked on the door with one knuckle.

“Mr. Lombardo?” asked the Lombardo Family mobster timidly.

“What?” asked a voice behind the door.

“I got Tony Castellano to see you” said the Lombardo Family mobster.

“Send him right in!” ordered the voice.

The Lombardo Family mobster stepped out of Tony’s way. Tony entered the office. It was dimly lit with slits of light coming from behind the blinds. Leaning upon the office’s desk was none other than Don Salvatore Lombardo. Don Salvatore Lombardo was a tall Italian man who had grey hair and grey eyes. He was wearing a black pinstriped suit. Don Salvatore Lombardo was guarded by a small stocky Italian man who had slicked ginger hair and black eyes. He also wore a black pinstriped suit.

“Hey. So there he is, huh? So listen, Tony, I know you did a good thing for us and I know you've been lying low for a long time so I want you to take it easy a while, huh? My new Consigliere, Vincenzo Cefalu here will look after you. You need some money, ask him. If you need a job, ask Vincenzo and he’ll take care of you. What more could a family guy ask for? Even my son doesn’t have it so good” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“But, Mr. Lombardo, I thought we got history, I mean I've done a lot for this family and now, you're expecting me to take orders from this guy. Well, it just doesn't seem right” said Tony.

“Tony, I know what you did and no one is more grateful than me honestly but the idea that you walk here and start to question my leadership right away is, quite frankly out of order. Capiche?” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“I understand, boss” said Tony.

“So when you need something, give Vincenzo a call down at his apartment in Little Italy Heights. He'll take care of you. Won't you, Vincenzo?” asked Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“Of course, boss. Anything you say. Tell you what; we can go there now” said the small stocky Italian man.

Vincenzo Cefalu walked out of the office and Tony reluctantly followed after him. Tony got behind the wheel of Vincenzo’s black Lotus and drove him down to his house while not making a word of conversation along the way. Upon entering Little Italy Heights, Vincenzo pointed out to Tony his house. Vincenzo’s house was the two-storey house opposite the Manhattan Bank. After exiting the black Lotus, Vincenzo said “You listen and you listen well you moron. A lot has changed since you left. I’m not the package boy no more. I'm a Consigliere now. You work for me. You do what I tell you. Capiche, Tony?”.

“Vincenzo, if you dare talk like that to me again, I will not hesitate to jump out of this car and beat you up. Capiche, Vincenzo?” asked Tony.

“I could kill you just for talking to me in the wrong tone but I won't. I'm a generous guy” said Vincenzo.

Vincenzo then walked into his two-storey house. Tony decided to drive around to re-familiarize himself with the area’s points of interest. Along the way, Tony heard the news: “New York commuters have been dealt a hard blow today when transport workers across the city took industrial action in sympathy for beleaguered ferry workers whose lively hoods are threatened by the construction of the new Holland Tunnel. Neither side in this battle seems keen to give any ground. Union chief, Jennifer Hillman said yesterday that she will bring Mayor Giuliani to his knees before she's licked”.

 

Slacker

 

The next day late in the afternoon, Tony visited Vincenzo at his two-storey house in Little Italy Heights. Upon entering the house’s living room, Tony discovered Vincenzo pacing around the room. Vincenzo noticed Tony and said to him “We've got a black market dealer, working in North Chinatown near the local barbershop. That lazy slime ball hasn't brought any cash in days. Maybe he needs some encouragement to get off his ass and do some work. Acting like a bum, he kind of reminds me of you”.

“What are you trying to say?” asked Tony.

“I’m not TRYING to say nothing! I'm telling you to get over there and make sure this bum starts bringing in some money!” said Vincenzo.

Tony obeyed and exited Vincenzo’s house. After hijacking a nearby green motorbike, Tony proceeded towards the barbershop situated in North Chinatown. Twenty minutes later, Tony pulled up outside the barbershop in North Chinatown and saw the black market dealer leaning up against a garbage dumpster. Tony exited from his green motorbike and approached Vincenzo’s lazy black market dealer.

“So, Vincenzo tells me you're too scared to work your patch?” asked Tony.

“Hey man! I'm not scared! I’ve just been ill is all! I'll go back tomorrow... or, maybe, the day after” said Vincenzo’s lazy black market dealer.

“Oh, I think you're going to work today like it or not!” said Tony.

“Oh, man. I told Vincenzo already that North Chinatown is no go for the Lombardo Family now because the Scalice Family is moving in! If I go there, I'm a dead man!” stated the black market dealer.

“Sure” said Tony sarcastically.

“I'm telling you, man, the Scalice Family is dealing” said the black market dealer.

Tony then gave Vincenzo’s lazy black market dealer a beating. After a severe beating, Vincenzo’s lazy black market dealer agreed to go back to work. After seeing the black market dealer perform his job right, Tony headed over to Little Italy to buy himself an apartment.

 

Dealing Revenge

 

The next day at noon, Tony visited Vincenzo at his two-storey house in Little Italy Heights. Upon entering the house’s living room, Tony discovered Vincenzo was pacing around the room again. Vincenzo noticed Tony and said to him “The black market dealer you dropped off is dead. He got whacked by the Scalice Family who have started to deal in North Chinatown. I want you to go over there and show them we own North Chinatown. As protection take this baseball bat”.

Vincenzo then gave Tony a baseball bat.

“Yes, sir” replied Tony.

Tony obeyed and exited Vincenzo’s house. After mounting his green motorbike, Tony proceeded over to North Chinatown. Fifteen minutes later, Tony pulled up beside the barbershop in North Chinatown. After dismounting from his green motorbike, Tony started to search for the Scalice Family’s black market dealers. As he searched a back alley, Tony found three. Tony shouted at them. He shouted “Stay off Lombardo turf!”.

The three black market dealers employed by the Scalice Family stopped what they were doing and confronted Tony. Suddenly, all three black market dealers pulled out a switchblade and took a swipe at Tony. Fortunately for Tony, the trio of black market dealers missed him. Before they had another opportunity to attack him, Tony rushed the three black market dealers and started to beat them to a pulp. Fifteen minutes later, after leaving the three black market dealers in need of medical assistance, Tony phoned Vincenzo and reported his success. Afterwards, Tony mounted his green motorbike and proceeded towards the nearby drive-thru to get a takeaway.

 

Turncoat

 

The next day early in the evening, Tony visited Vincenzo at his two-storey house in Little Italy Heights. Upon entering the house’s living room, Tony discovered Vincenzo was smoking a cigarette. Vincenzo noticed Tony and said to him “Hey, remember Thomas James O’Malley?”.

“TJ O’Malley? He is difficult to forget” said Tony.

“He's currently running a Scalice-controlled gentleman's club called Paul’s Revue Bar in Little Italy. The interesting thing is he wants to be a work for us now” said Vincenzo.

“Ignore him! He made his choice” said Tony.

“Hello, brain-cell! Jeez, Tony, the Don said you were dumb muscle but I didn't think anyone was that dumb. We can use TJ to get the drop on the Scalice Family’s plans. He's going to be our boy on the inside. There's just one thing. He's being watched on by some Scalice Family mobster. I want you to remove this little obstacle and get TJ by our side. Capiche?” asked Vincenzo.

Tony started to leave.

“Before I forget take this revolver as protection” said Vincenzo.

Vincenzo then gave Tony a revolver.

Tony then exited Vincenzo’s house. After mounting his green motorbike, Tony proceeded towards Paul’s Revue Bar which was situated in Little Italy. Ten minutes later, Tony pulled up beside the entrance leading into Paul’s Revue Bar. Suddenly TJ O’Malley who was a plump Irishman exited Paul’s Revue Bar followed by a Scalice Family mobster. The Scalice Family mobster was wearing a brown pinstriped suit. TJ O’Malley had brown hair and brown eyes. He was wearing a white t-shirt and blue jeans. After dismounting from his green motorbike, Tony proceeded to follow the Scalice Family mobster. After walking down a back alley, Tony discovered TJ was being threatened by the Scalice Family mobster over a red Mercedes. To prevent getting seen by the Scalice Family mobster, Tony shot several times at the Scalice Family mobster until he crumpled to the ground. TJ approached Tony.

“Thanks for saving me. You can take my red Mercedes as a reward” said TJ.

TJ then exited the back alley and headed back to Paul’s Revue Bar. Tony went back onto the main street and got into his newly acquired red Mercedes.

Ten minutes later, en route back to his two-storey apartment which was on the edge of Little Italy, Tony got a phone call from TJ.

“Tony, I can't wait till we're on the same team!” said TJ.

“Don't get too excited” said Tony.

TJ then hung up. Fifteen minutes later, after parking his new red Mercedes in the two-storey apartment’s garage, Tony took a jog round Little Italy.

 

Hot Wheels

 

The next day late in the afternoon, Tony visited Vincenzo at his two-storey house in Little Italy Heights. Upon entering the house’s living room, Tony discovered Vincenzo was reading a magazine. Vincenzo noticed Tony and said to him “Listen, tough guy - I need you to do me a favor. I got girls crazy for cocaine; I got a car full of it parked in the industrial park. Go pick it up and then give me a call”.

“What am I? Your driver? Screw you” said Tony.

“Listen, I'd do it myself, but I'm being watched by the DEA. You know I'll look out for you. Trust me. Besides, remember there's a hierarchy here, capiche? Now be a good kid!” said Vincenzo.

Tony obeyed and exited Vincenzo’s house. After mounting his green motorbike, Tony proceeded towards the drug-filled car which was located in Little Italy’s Industrial Park. Ten minutes later, Tony pulled up beside the entrance leading into the Industrial Park. Tony demounted from his motorbike and headed towards the drug-filled car. The drug-filled car was a yellow Ferrari. After checking no cops were around, Tony entered the drug-filled yellow Ferrari. After Tony had turned on the engine two things happen. The first thing that happened was the car alarm went off. The second thing that happened was two DEA Cruisers appeared and their occupants set up a blockade. To not get arrested for being in possession of drugs, Tony smashed through the DEA blockade and raced back to Vincenzo’s two-storey house in Little Italy Heights. Fortunately en route to Vincenzo’s two-storey house, Tony didn’t encounter anymore DEA Cruisers. Five minutes later, after pulling into Vincenzo’s garage and parking the drug-filled yellow Ferrari, Tony got a phone call from Vincenzo.

“Hey! Tony how's the car?” asked Vincenzo.

“You weasel! You set me up!” said Tony.

“Set you up? SET YOU UP? When you came back to the city you had nothing! NOTHING! I set you up alright, you ungrateful man! With a job! And for that generosity I expect you to take a few risks now and then. I’m not a charity, pal. Okay? Also I’m not your sugar daddy. So the police were watching the car! Screw the police! When I tell you to do something, you do it. Capiche?” said Vincenzo.

“Oh, yeah, I understand Vincenzo. I understand that as long as I work for you, I get treated like a bum. I was making scores while you were looking up girl's skirts. Have your job back. I quit” said Tony.

“Tony, you're making a big mistake” said Vincenzo.

Tony then hung up on Vincenzo. Tony got out his baseball bat and started to smash the drug-filled yellow Ferrari. After fifteen minutes of wrecking the drug-filled yellow Ferrari, Tony stopped and exited Vincenzo’s garage. Suddenly, Tony got a phone call from his mother.

“Tony? It's your ma! How long have you been back in town? How come you don't come and see me? What's wrong with you? I'm your mother for her holiness sake! Come on” said Ma Castellano.

“OK, I come round real soon” replied Tony.

“Good” said Ma Castellano.

Ma Castellano then hung up.

Fifteen minutes later, after leaving Vincenzo’s lock-up casually and walking two blocks away, Tony hijacked a nearby blue Audi and went and competed in a street race. He won and got some money which he mailed to Don Salvatore Lombardo.

 

Delivering the Don

 

The next day at noon, Tony visited TJ at Paul’s Revue Bar in Little Italy. After Tony had knocked on the deliveries door a few times it opened. Suddenly TJ came out.

“Thank God you're here Tony! I just had a tip off that the cops are going to raid us!” said TJ.

“So? You've got a license” said Tony.

“Not for the stuff that goes on here! The Don is here, paying my girls a 'Special' visit. You know? We got to get him out of here before the cops arrive! Meet him out front!” said TJ.

“Never a dull moment” said Tony.

Tony then rushed out to the front of Paul’s Revue Bar to see Don Salvatore Lombardo sitting in the backseat of a taxi. Tony entered the taxi and took the wheel.

“Get me the hell out of here!” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

Tony drove away as fast he could from Paul’s Revue Bar to not get him or the Don arrested by the incoming cops. After a few twists and turns, Tony delivered Don Salvatore Lombardo back to the Lombardo Compound which was situated in Little Italy Heights.

“You did well today son. I like your style. I always have” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“Thank you Mr. Lombardo” said Tony.

“You know, I think Vincenzo is taking up too much of your time. I could use a good fellow like you. Come round some time. Uncle Salvatore will take care of you” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

Don Salvatore Lombardo then entered his mansion to have a rest. Tony then left the Lombardo Compound to go to the local gun shop to buy some upgraded weapons.

 

A Volatile Situation

 

The next day early in the evening, Tony was driving through Little Italy when he got a phone call from TJ.

“I’ve got news concerning that Lombardo gambling house up in Little Italy Heights. The Scalice Family is going nuts about it. I heard they're going to blow the place off the map” said TJ.

TJ then hung up. Tony then raced over to the Lombardo gambling house over in Little Italy. Ten minutes later, Tony pulled up outside the Lombardo gambling house in Little Italy Heights. After exiting his blue SUV, Tony got another phone call from TJ.

“Tony? It's TJ. Look, I just heard there's a bunch of Scalice Family mobsters coming your way and they're packing, big-time! Watch your back!” said TJ.

“Thanks TJ! Appreciate it” said Tony.

TJ then hung up. Fifteen minutes later, two green Saabs screeched to a halt outside the Lombardo gambling house. Before the saboteurs had a chance to arm themselves they were mowed down by a hail of gunfire from the Lombardo gambling house’s security guards. Five minutes later, a grey Hummer screeched to a halt outside the Lombardo gambling house. The driver of the grey Hummer abandoned his vehicle and ran for it. Tony entered the grey Hummer and discovered a bomb in the backseats. Carefully Tony disabled the bomb with the help of a pair of scissors he found in the glove compartment. After disposing of the grey Hummer careful, Tony entered the Lombardo gambling house to play some poker.

 

Salvatore’s Salvation

 

The next day late in the afternoon, Tony visited TJ at Paul’s Revue Bar in Little Italy. After Tony had knocked on the deliveries door a few times it opened. Suddenly a panicked TJ came out.

“TJ!” said Tony.

“Tony, thank god you're here. I'm sweating like my uncle in a school yard - my mind is going crazy. What are we going to do?” asked TJ.

“About what?” asked Tony.

“Oh God I can't believe it, he is going to kill me. He's going to put make me sleep with the fishes. Oh God! I feel like the day the FBI searched my hard drive! Oh, my heart's racing. Have you got any drugs? No, forget that” said TJ.

“What’s going on?” asked Tony.

“Oh God I can't believe this. Why am I to blame?! It's not my fault. But you know Salvatore; he's going to get the vice squad onto me. Oh my God, it's going to be like those statutory rape charges. Have you ever been in prison on statutory rape charges, man? They come in at you at the showers! Oh God and she was only eighteen! Oh my God! This is going to be worse!” said TJ.

“Listen here you pervert. What in god’s name is wrong?” asked Tony.

“It's Salvatore. He was kidnapped while leaving the club” said TJ.

“Well why didn't you say so? Instead of making me listen to half your life story. Come on” said Tony.

Tony and TJ then went to the front of Paul’s Revue Bar were TJ noticed a green Saab past by.

“That's the kidnappers’ vehicle!” said TJ.

Tony entered his blue SUV and trailed the kidnappers’ vehicle. After twenty minutes of trailing, Tony discovered the kidnappers meeting with a colleague in Little Italy Heights. His orders were to crush Don Salvatore Lombardo by using the car crusher which was situated in Little Italy’s Industrial Park. As the kidnappers left to fulfill their colleague’s orders, Tony exited his blue SUV and gunned down the two kidnappers and their colleague. After freeing Don Salvatore Lombardo, Tony drove him quickly back to the Lombardo Compound which was situated in Little Italy Heights.

“What kind of driving was that? You trying to kill me?” asked Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“Mr. Lombardo. Boss, I'm sorry. What can I tell you?” asked Tony.

“Screw the Scalice Family! They think they can do that to me! I'll tear their hearts out! This doesn’t end here! Blimey Tony - you saved me - call me Salvatore from now on!” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

Don Salvatore Lombardo then entered his mansion to have a rest. Tony then left the Lombardo Compound to go to the local newsagent to buy himself a newspaper.

 

Demolishing the Doll’s House

 

The next day at noon, Tony while having a stroll got a phone call from TJ.

“Hello Tony. I would like to inform you that the Scalice Family controls the Doll’s House, a profitable bordello. Well, that place is their stronghold in Little Italy. If you were to destroy it, you would force the Scalice Family to abandon their interests in Little Italy” said TJ.

TJ then hung up. Tony then headed to the local gun shop and bought some explosives. Tony then headed over to the Doll’s House. After sneaking into the establishment via the deliveries door, Tony searched for the boiler room. Five minutes later, Tony found the boiler room. After planting the explosives near the power generator and setting it to blow in five minutes, Tony sneaked back out again. After walking a block away from the Doll’s House, Tony waited for the explosion. Suddenly an explosion was heard signaling the destruction of the Doll’s House. Immediately, black Lotuses speeded into Little Italy. Tony guessed that Salvatore was sending enforcers into Little Italy to claim it as his territory. After stealing a parked scooter, Tony headed back to his safe house. Upon entering the living room, Tony turned the television on to the news channel. He listened to the news: “We have just been informed that a bordello called the Doll’s House owned by the mafia-linked Scalice Family was destroyed”. Tony turned off the television and went to bed.

 

Calm before the Storm

 

The next day early in the evening, Tony got visited by TJ at his apartment in Little Italy. After TJ had knocked on the front door a few times it opened. Suddenly Tony came out.

“So, Salvatore cleaned house!” said Tony.

“Yes he did, Tony! The pimping Scalice Family has been kicked out. Anyway listen to this. I hear the Palermo Mafia is trying to broker peace between the families. The Don has got their senior Capo up at his place right now. The senior Capo is called Nick Russo. The thing is; he smells a rat. He wants someone to get up there and follow this guy, see where he goes” said TJ.

TJ left. Tony then left his apartment and got into his neighbor’s blue Range Rover. Tony then proceeded over towards the Lombardo Compound which was situated in Little Italy Heights. Half an hour later, Tony arrived at the Lombardo Compound and saw Nick Russo, the Palermo Mafia’s senior Capo. The Palermo Mafia’s senior Capo was a tall Sicilian man who had black hair, black eyes and a black moustache. He was wearing a grey pinstriped suit. After entering his private chopper with his personal bodyguard, Nick Russo took off. Tony reversed and followed Nick Russo’s private chopper to Chinatown were it landed on the rooftop of a fish distribution warehouse. After parking his blue Range Rover silently, Tony ascended to the rooftop himself were he witnessed a meeting happening between Nick Russo and the Triad leader who was wearing a blue tracksuit with a dragon logo on the back. The Triad leader was guarded by four Triads all armed with MAC-10s. In order to hear what the meeting was about, Tony crept silently into listening range.

“As I agreed, if you do my associates work for them, you will acquire Chinatown” said Nick Russo.

Suddenly one of the four Triads spotted Tony and shouted “It’s a Lombardo Family soldier”.

Immediately, Nick and his personal bodyguard escaped via chopper while the Triad leader and one of his four Triads did the same via Toyotas. That left three Triads armed with MAC-10s to kill Tony. Fortunately the three Triads were over confident and were made easy killings for Tony. After checking the three Triads were dead Tony collected a MAC-10 off one of the carcasses. Tony then headed back to his two-storey apartment in Little Italy to get some sleep.

 

The Made Man

 

The next day late in the afternoon, TJ visited Tony at his apartment in Little Italy. After TJ had knocked on the front door a few times it opened. Suddenly Tony came out. He noticed TJ wearing a tuxedo.

“Tony, it's all happening today! I'm going to be a 'Made Man', me!” said TJ.

“TJ, the untouchable? God help us all!” said Tony.

“I've waited a long time for this. It never would have happened without you Tony” said TJ.

“Hey! I'm crying over here! Come on!” said Tony.

Tony then escorted TJ to the pavement were a taxi pulled up. A tall muscular Italian man who had blond hair and green eyes got out. He was wearing a black pinstriped suit. Tony recognized the man as Mickey Lanza.

“Hey Mickey! How you doing?” asked TJ.

“Fine. Anyway the ceremony is in the Industrial Park” said the tall muscular Italian man who was recognized as Mickey Lanza.

Tony and TJ both got into the backseats of the taxi. Mickey then drove over to Little Italy’s Industrial Park. After parking the yellow taxi, Mickey got out. Tony and TJ got out too. Five minutes later, a black Lotus arrived at the ceremony. Vincenzo got out.

“Where’s the Don?” asked TJ.

“He’s coming but Vincenzo is just doing a security check” said Mickey Lanza.

Vincenzo then approached the three men. As Vincenzo stopped to look around, a gunshot was heard. Suddenly, Vincenzo crumpled to the ground with blood oozing from his head. Tony and TJ looked at Mickey who was reloading his revolver. Mickey then shot TJ who crumpled to the ground just like Vincenzo. Mickey had killed TJ the same way he killed Vincenzo.

“Why did you do that?” asked Tony.

“Because both men were traitors. Salvatore could never trust traitors” said Mickey.

“What now?” asked Tony.

“We escape” said Mickey.

Mickey then drove Tony to his two-storey apartment in Little Italy. After dropping Tony off, Mickey drove back to his own two-storey apartment.

 

Snappy Dresser

 

The next day at noon, Tony visited his mother at her modelling studio in Little Italy. Upon arriving, Tony noticed his mother was sitting upstairs in her office drinking coffee. Ma Castellano was a small Italian woman who had grey hair and blue eyes. She was wearing a businesswoman’s suit.

“Ma?” asked Tony.

“Tony? Where the hell have you been? You haven’t called me since you’ve got back?” asked Ma Castellano.

“Ma, I’ve been busy!” said Tony.

“A real man would have called his mother. You could learn a thing or two from Giovanni Colletti. He calls his mother every day, now, he's a good man and his Italian sausage in the best in town!” said Ma Castellano.

“Colletti! But Ma, Colletti isn't a good man. He's a pervert!” said Tony.

“That's just a foul mouthed rumor! What kind of man are you, Tony?” asked Ma Castellano.

“Alright Ma, whatever you say” said Tony.

“Maybe I'll go give Giovanni a call and see what he's up to” said Ma Castellano.

Tony then left the modeling studio. After getting into his blue Range Rover Tony headed towards the local camera shop. After buying a camera, Tony proceeded over towards Giovanni Colletti’s deli in SoHo. Twenty minutes later, as Tony approached the deli in SoHo, Giovanni Colletti a stocky Italian man who had ginger hair and green eyes and who was wearing his butcher’s outfit got into the deli’s main delivery van. Giovanni Colletti then headed off towards Little Italy Heights. Tony followed at a distance. After some intense trailing, Tony watched as Giovanni Colletti pulled into a lay-by and collect two hookers. After the two hookers got into the back of the van, Giovanni Colletti set off again. Tony continued to trail Giovanni Colletti. Fifteen minutes later, Giovanni Colletti drove into the centre of Little Italy’s Industrial Park and stopped the van. He and the two hookers got out. Tony hid his blue Range Rover out of sight and ran a small distance until he found some decent cover. Tony then watched Giovanni Colletti get into the back of the van and come out dressed like a baby. Tony then took the photos he wanted and returned to his blue Range Rover. After driving out of Little Italy’s Industrial Park, Tony got two sets of the photos printed. One for his mother and one for Giovanni Colletti. After mailing one set of the photos to Giovanni Colletti’s deli and the other set to his mother’s modeling studio, Tony headed to the local gym to try and improve his physique.

 

Dead Meat

 

The next day early in the evening, Tony visited his mother at her modelling studio. Upon arriving, Tony noticed his mother was sitting upstairs in her office reading a fashion magazine.

“Ma, can I talk to you?” asked Tony.

“I’m not talking to you anymore, Tony! You shame your family! After you took that photo of Colletti, he stopped paying his protection money and what are you doing about it? NOTHING! Your father would have turned him into meatballs by now! Colletti might be a bit funny but it takes guts to snub a Castellano! I only wish you had his guts!” said Ma Castellano.

“You wish I had Colletti's guts? Okay, Ma! You’ve asked for them!” said Tony.

Tony then left the modeling studio and proceeded over towards Giovanni Colletti’s deli. Twenty minutes later, Tony picked up Giovanni Colletti at his deli and took him to the local sawmill which was situated in Little Italy’s Industrial Park. Twenty minutes later, Tony escorted Giovanni Colletti into the building. After calming down Giovanni Colletti, Tony picked up a hatchet and started to cut him into tiny pieces. After cutting up Giovanni Colletti, Tony minced the remains. After mincing the remains, Tony ran out of the building with the meaty remains of the late Giovanni Colletti which were stored in a plastic bag. After entering his blue Range Rover and exiting Little Italy’s Industrial Park, Tony headed towards the local post office to post the meaty remains of the late Giovanni Colletti to his mother’s modeling studio. After mailing the meaty remains of the late Giovanni Colletti to his mother’s modeling studio, Tony headed to the local car dealership to buy himself a new car.

 

No Son of Mine

 

The next day late in the afternoon, Tony visited his mother at her modelling studio. Upon arriving, Tony noticed his mother was not sitting up in her upstairs office.

“Ma? You there?” called out Tony.

Suddenly, Ma Castellano appeared at the door to her modeling studio.

“Tony? Come to upset your mother again, huh? You spend all day playing the tough guy. You never come see me or bring home any nice girls. But, who'd want you anyway? You look so pasty and thin! You're trying to kill me with the shame and the worry. Well no more. From this point on we're through. I disown you. It's really the only way, Tony” said Ma Castellano.

“What!? Ma!” said Tony.

“You were always a disobedient boy. It's for the best, son” said Ma Castellano.

Tony then left his mother’s modeling studio to go get drunk in the local bar.

 

The Offer

 

The next day at noon, Tony visited Don Salvatore Lombardo at the Lombardo Compound.

“Eh, boss, you okay?” asked Tony

“Do I look okay?” asked Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“No” said Tony.

“Then what are you? A moron? You're always saying the obvious. I can't believe I'm surrounded by people like you” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“Sorry” said Tony.

“Listen, I'm sorry. Tony, you're one of my most trusted allies. After what you did, you're like a son to me. Your mother's a lucky woman” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“So I hear” said Tony.

“Tony, it's over for guys like us. I tell you, even in my own family I feel like Jesus surrounded by twelve Judases. I mean, listen to this; I got a union boss - a broad no less - which I need to do me a favor and she asks for money? All I wanted was 24 hours access to the docks, while the strike was going on, strikes that I helped organize, so my boys could buy some guns and now I get nothing! I mean these people are people that I personally fought for people I've killed for, honest people and this is how they repay me?” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“It's insulting” said Tony.

“It's a disgrace. We're finished, men of honor like you and me. Listen, Tony, I want you to take something to her” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“You're going to take this from a broad?” asked Tony.

“For now what choice do I have? Look, go down there, pay her off - and tell her I'd like to have a word with her. Go” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

Tony left the Lombardo Compound and headed to Little Italy’s docks via his newly acquired black Lotus. Half an hour later, Tony arrived at Little Italy’s docks and met Jennifer Hillman, the Union Leader and two of her picket thugs. Jennifer Hillman was a stout Caucasian-American woman who had brown hair and black eyes. She was wearing her work outfit.

“Salvatore wants to talk” said Tony.

Tony then gave Jennifer Hillman the bribe.

“I'm not playing Salvatore's game. Thanks for the donation, kid. See you around” said Jennifer Hillman.

Jennifer Hillman then ran away leaving her two picket thugs to deal with Tony. Instead of fighting the two picket thugs, Tony ran away back to his car. After entering his black Lotus, Tony drove back to his two-storey apartment to get some sleep.

 

Frighteners

 

The next day early in the evening, Tony visited Don Salvatore Lombardo at the Lombardo Compound.

“Tony! How are you my boy? You look a little thin. Isn't your momma feeding you right?” asked Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“I'm good Mr. Lombardo” said Tony.

“Listen, these union guys - they're getting me annoyed. It looks some of them are starting to see things my way but we just need to turn up the heat on three 'less than receptive' union big shots. You know what I'm talking about?” asked Don Salvatore Lombardo.

Tony knew what Don Salvatore Lombardo wanted done. He wanted him to rough up the less receptive union big shots. Tony left the Lombardo Compound and headed to Little Italy’s docks. Ten minutes later, Tony arrived at the Union Headquarters which was situated in Little Italy’s docks. After finding each of the ‘less than receptive’ union big shots, Tony gave them a severe beating. After beating the three ‘less than receptive’ union big shots, Tony headed to the nearby deli to try some Italian cuisine.

 

Rollercoaster Ride

 

The next day late in the afternoon, Tony visited Don Salvatore Lombardo at the Lombardo Compound. Upon entering Don Salvatore Lombardo’s office, Tony found Don Salvatore Lombardo listening to the radio.

“This strike will continue until I get some assurances from this city! Mafiosi, thinking they can run the union, can think again!” said Jennifer Hillman on the radio.

“Listen to this” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“They don't scare me! I've got bigger balls than all of them!” said Jennifer Hillman on the radio.

“I should call a hit on this broad. She's taking me for a ride. Well two can play that game. Tony, you're going to deliver a message for me!” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

Tony left the Lombardo Compound and headed to the radio station in SoHo. Ten minutes later, Tony approached the radio station which was situated in SoHo and noticed a white limo was parked outside the main entrance. A chauffeur was guarding it. After parking his black Lotus out of sight, Tony crept up on the waiting chauffeur and eliminated him. After entering the driver’s seat, Tony waited for Jennifer Hillman to exit the radio station. Five minutes later, Jennifer Hillman exited the radio station and got into the backseat of the white limo.

“Union Headquarters and step on it!” said Jennifer Hillman.

Tony drove away from the radio and headed to the Union Headquarters. On the way he drove very erratic, allowing Jennifer Hillman to know the person driving was not her chauffeur.

“Hey, you're not my regular driver! Who the hell are you?!” asked Jennifer Hillman.

“Shut up! From now on you do exactly what Salvatore Lombardo tells you to! Capiche?” asked Tony.

“I refuse to be scared by this!” said Jennifer Hillman.

“We'll see!” said Tony.

Tony started to drive more erratically to the Union Headquarters. After a few crashes, Jennifer Hillman said “OK! OK! I've had enough! I'll do whatever you want”.

Tony then drove casually and calmly to the Union Headquarters. Upon arriving at the Union Headquarters, Tony said “Don’t forget our agreement, Miss Hillman!”.

Jennifer Hillman then exited the limo and entered the Union Headquarters. After dumping the white limo, Tony acquired a brown van which he used to take him to the local gun shop to buy more weapons.

 

Contra-Banned

 

The next day at noon, Tony visited Don Salvatore Lombardo at the Lombardo Compound. Upon entering the mansion’s office, Tony witnessed Don Salvatore Lombardo having an argument with a tall woman who had blonde hair and blue eyes. The tall woman was wearing a yellow and black dress.

“Shut up Carmella” ordered an agitated Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“What are you going to do? Hit me?” asked the tall man who was referred to as Carmella.

“Why I ought to” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“That’s the only time you touch me these days” stated Carmella.

“Why would I touch you? I don’t like used goods. You revolt me” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“Me? Revolt you? What?” asked Carmella.

“Yeah! Revolt!” stated Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“Oh please. You know what? My daddy was right when he said you were nothing but a fat slob” said Carmella.

“Yeah whatever” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

Carmella exited the office. Don Salvatore Lombardo approached Tony.

“Tony you’re an angel of mercy. Anyway, I’ve got a shipment of arms coming in from the docks. This is going to put us - you and me - on the map big time. Everything should run smooth. I just need someone - someone I trust - to take care of things for me. Alright Tony, I'll talk to you later” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

Tony left the Lombardo Compound and headed to Little Italy’s docks via his newly acquired red motorbike. Half an hour later, Tony arrived at Little Italy’s docks and met the arms dealer and two of his bodyguards.

Upon Tony’s arrival, the meeting started. After Tony showed the arms dealer the buying money, the arms dealer was about to show off a bit of his cargo when out of nowhere a police helicopter appeared. Then two FBI Cruisers appeared. Tony then came to the conclusion they were ratted out. The arms dealer’s bodyguards opened fire on the FBI agents. While this was happening, the arms dealer tried to get away in the Hummer where the arms were stored but was thrown out by Tony. Tony then did a quick U-turn and speeded out of the docks to Don Salvatore Lombardo’s lockup. After delivering the arms to Don Salvatore Lombardo’s lockup, Tony headed to the local pizzeria.

 

Scalice Sabotage

 

The next day early in the evening, Tony visited Don Salvatore Lombardo at the Lombardo Compound.

“Tony, we got trouble. Big trouble!” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“What has happened Salvatore?” asked Tony.

“What has happened is that the Triads are having a turf war with us in North Chinatown because the Scalice Family is backing them!” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“Hey! Don't worry about a thing boss! I'll deal with this” said Tony.

Tony left the Lombardo Compound and headed to North Chinatown. Upon arriving, Tony saw a fierce turf war was underway. Lombardo Family mobsters were getting killed by Triads. After using his red motorbike to run over some Triads, Tony dismounted and grabbed a MAC-10 off the carcass of a dead Triad. Using the MAC-10, Tony started to mow down waves of Triads. After running out of ammo, Tony recovered a long range sniper rifle from a dead Lombardo Family mobster. Half an hour later, the turf war ended with the Lombardo Family being victorious. Tony then got a phone call from Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“Salvatore?” asked Tony.

“Tony! Is it over? How'd it go?” asked Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“It's not good Salvatore. We won but I don’t think we’ll be able to win again. I think we're going to lose this part of town” said Tony.

“Over my dead body! I’m not losing anything! The Lombardo Family doesn’t retreat from nothing! Are you hearing me, Tony?” asked Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“You said it Salvatore” said Tony.

Don Salvatore Lombardo then hung up. Tony headed to the local golf club to play some golf.

 

Driving Mr. Lombardo

 

The next day late in the afternoon, Tony visited Don Salvatore Lombardo at the Lombardo Compound.

“I'm getting paranoid Tony. Really paranoid. Just because I think everyone hates me doesn't mean they don't, know what I mean? Someone is out to get me. It's Mayor Raymond Giuliani! He's going to blame me for all the trouble that's been going down in the neighborhood. All of it! Not just the things that I did but all of it. Come on; let's go take care of this” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

Tony and Don Salvatore Lombardo left the office and got into Don Salvatore Lombardo’s personal bulletproof Lotus.

“Where are we going?” asked Tony.

“Midtown!” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“It’s blocked off due to road works!” said Tony.

“We're both going to be finished if you don't drive! Now move it!” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

Tony then speeded over to Midtown via using the side streets. Upon entering Midtown, Tony delivered Don Salvatore Lombardo to his safe house. After dropping Don Salvatore Lombardo off, Tony decided to explore Midtown to locate it points of interest. Along the way he heard the evening news: “The industrial action that had cut off Little Italy from the rest of the city has finally come to an end. Or has it? Although all bridges are now officially open militant workers are continuing with their blockade at the Lincoln Tunnel which connects Hell’s Kitchen to New Jersey. The strikers refuse to believe assurances made by city officials over the future of the ferries”.

A Walk in the Park

 

The next day at noon, Tony visited Don Salvatore Lombardo at his safe house in Midtown.

“Ah, Tony. It’s seems Mayor Giuliani is messing with me” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“I’ll take him out of the equation” said Tony.

“He is usually having his daily run in Central Park right about now. Also get his phone” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

Tony left Don Salvatore Lombardo’s safe house and went to the local gun shop and purchased a long range sniper rifle and an AK-47. After purchasing what he wanted, Tony headed to Central Park. Upon doing a reconnaissance of the park’s perimeter, Tony discovered its three entrances were guarded by FBI agents. In order to bluff the FBI agents, Tony holstered all his weapons and walked into the park casually. At a distance, Tony followed Mayor Raymond Giuliani and his two bodyguards who were all jogging. Mayor Raymond Giuliani was a plump Italian man who had grey hair and green eyes. He was wearing a tracksuit. After a few laps round the park, the Mayor and his two bodyguards stopped by the drinking fountain in the middle of the park to get some water. Tony took this golden opportunity to whip out his AK-47 and gun down the Mayor and his two bodyguards. After receiving the late Mayor’s phone, Tony made a fast getaway. After hijacking a white pick-up truck, Tony headed to the local motel to buy himself a room.

 

Promoting Tony

 

The next day early in the evening, Tony arrived at the safe house in Midtown. Upon entering the safe house’s living room, Tony found that Don Salvatore Lombardo was not in but he noticed there was a letter on the mantelpiece. Tony read it.

“Tony, Mickey will be calling for you later. Make sure you're around when he arrives. Your boss, Salvatore”.

Tony exited the safe house to see Mickey Lanza pull up outside the safe house in a police car.

“Hey Tony? Get in! Come on we're going for a ride” said Mickey Lanza.

“Mickey, what's up?” asked Tony.

“Come on Castellano, what, you think I'm here to whack you?” asked Mickey Lanza.

Tony didn’t answer.

Tony got into the backseat of the police car. Mickey Lanza then started to drive away from the safe house to an unknown destination point. On the way to the destination point, Mickey Lanza turned on the radio which allowed Tony to hear the news: “The city mourns the passing of its premiere son, Mayor Raymond Giuliani. He was assassinated while jogging in Midtown’s park. We here at the radio station would like to take this opportunity to extend it’s most humble and sincere condolences to his family and loved ones”.

Fifteen minutes later, the police car stopped outside a funeral home. Mickey Lanza escorted Tony to the undertaker’s office were Tony surprisingly met Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“Tony, my boy, today is the day you're made the Family Underboss!” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“Thank you, Mr. Lombardo” said Tony.

“Your Ma has been waiting for this day” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

After getting made the Family Underboss, Tony donned his personal black pinstriped suit meaning he was officially working for the Lombardo Family. Before leaving the funeral parlor, Tony gave Don Salvatore Lombardo, the late Mayor’s phone.

“Hey Tony thanks, I'll be in touch” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

After leaving the funeral parlor, Tony got a phone call from his Ma.

“Tony? It's your Ma. I’ve just heard you've been promoted to Underboss! I never doubted you for a second, son and seeing as you finally proven yourself, I'm noting disowning you. Let's just put it behind us. After all, I only did it with your best interests at heart” said Ma Castellano.

Ma Castellano then hung up. Tony then got another phone call but it was from Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“Tony, its Salvatore. Listen, the Falcone Family had Mayor Giuliani on their payroll. But, we're going to take control of City Hall. I know a popular businessman who’s do anything to get into office. His name is Danny Letterman. I told him if he wins the election he works for us! Meet him at his penthouse in Brooklyn. Also help him win the election at whatever cost” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

Don Salvatore Lombardo then hung up.

Tony then went with Mickey Lanza to celebrate the great honor that was bestowed upon him. Along the way, Tony heard the news: “Election fever grips the city but so far only one candidate has stepped forward to replace Mayor Raymond Giuliani. Businessman Mark Bloomberg has pledged that should he win, his first act would be to bring a swift end to the industrial action that plagues the city”.

 

Spilling the Beans

 

The next day late in the afternoon, Tony visited Don Salvatore Lombardo at his safe house in Midtown.

Don Salvatore Lombardo then gestured Tony to follow him. Tony did so. Don Salvatore Lombardo exited his safe house and headed down to the nearby jetty and boarded a docked speedboat.

“Tony, hop in!” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“Where are we going?” asked Tony.

“We're going to have a little chat with the Mayor's assistant about Franco Falcone” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

Tony then drove Don Salvatore Lombardo out to a fishing boat. Upon boarding it, Don Salvatore Lombardo abducted the Mayor’s assistant. Tony then drove back to the jetty. Don Salvatore Lombardo then started the interrogation.

“The Mayor wouldn't do anything without Franco's say so!” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“Nobody owned the Mayor!” said the Mayor’s assistant.

Don Salvatore Lombardo then punched the Mayor’s assistant.

“Ouch! Wait, wait, you're right! It's the Palermo Mafia. They pushed Franco into it” said the Mayor’s assistant.

“The Palermo Mafia? Why?” asked Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“They own Franco and they want a war between the three Families. When the dust settles they're coming to take over” said the Mayor’s assistant.

Don Salvatore Lombardo then started to drown the Mayor’s assistant. Tony left Don Salvatore Lombardo and headed to the local social club to mingle with the local celebrities.

 

Search and Rescue

 

The next day at noon, Tony arrived at the safe house in Midtown. Before entering he got a phone call from Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“Thank God you picked up!” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“What's up, boss?” asked Tony

“I went spying on the Falcone Family at Midtown’s Bistro when all hell broke loose! The Scalice Family has gone war with the Falcone Family and I'm stuck here in the middle of it!” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“I'll be right there” said Tony.

“Bring my Lotus! It is bulletproof. We're going to need it!” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

Don Salvatore Lombardo then hung up. Tony got into Don Salvatore Lombardo’s bulletproof Lotus which was parked in the safe house’s garage. Tony proceeded over towards Midtown’s Bistro. Upon arriving at Midtown’s Bistro, Tony witnessed a team of Scalice Family mobsters going round the back of Midtown’s Bistro. Tony followed were he witnessed a small scale turf war was underway between the Scalice Family and the Falcone Family. After shooting numerous rival Family mobsters, Tony found Don Salvatore Lombardo hiding in a small alcove. Don Salvatore Lombardo noticed Tony.

“Tony, let's get out of here! Get me back to the Mercedes!” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

Tony then escorted Don Salvatore Lombardo back to the bulletproof Lotus. As both men reached the bulletproof Lotus, a pair of Falcone Family mobsters who were each wearing green pinstriped suits arrived in a red Ferrari. Tony quickly dispatched the pair of reinforcements. Tony then drove Don Salvatore Lombardo back to his safe house. Don Salvatore Lombardo then gestured Tony in where they drank champagne.

 

Shoot the Messenger

 

The next day early in the evening, Tony visited Don Salvatore Lombardo at his safe house in Midtown.

“Tony, a Falcone Family mobster found out that the Palermo Mafia is behind the war between the three Families. He's headed over to meet Franco Falcone right now at Midtown’s Bistro. It works very much to our advantage that Franco knows nothing and this war keeps on going. Take that blabbermouth out” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“You got it” said Tony.

Tony then exited the safe house and got into the parked black Rolls Royce. Tony proceeded over towards Midtown’s Bistro. After parking his newly acquired black Rolls Royce, Tony waited for the Falcone Family mobster to show up. Ten minutes later, the Falcone Family mobster showed up in a red Ferrari. Tony got out his revolver and shot the Falcone Family mobster in the head two times. Tony then speeded away from the scene of the crime on a motorbike and headed to his safe house to get some sleep.

 

Cam-Pain

 

The next day late in the afternoon, Tony visited Danny Letterman at his penthouse in Brooklyn. Danny Letterman was a tall Caucasian-American man who had black hair and green eyes. He was wearing a business suit.

“DL?” asked Tony.

“Tony, how wonderful to see you” said the tall Caucasian-American man.

“How’s the campaign?” asked Tony.

“I managed to get the marginal votes up a lot but I need your help” said Danny Letterman.

“That’s why I here” said Tony.

“Anyway Bloomberg who is being back by the Falcone Family has sent out three campaign parties round the city. One in Midtown, one in Little Italy and one here. I want you to eliminate them” said Danny.

“OK” said Tony.

Tony then left Danny’s penthouse and headed over to where the rival campaign party in Brooklyn was based. After eliminating the Brooklyn-based rival campaign party, Tony headed over to Midtown where he eliminated the Midtown-based rival campaign party. After eliminating the Midtown-based rival campaign party, Tony headed over to Little Italy where he eliminated the Little Italy-based rival campaign party.

After eliminating the three rival campaign parties, Tony headed to the local auto dealership to browse for a new means of transportation.

 

Frigging the Rigging

 

The next day at noon, Tony visited Danny at his penthouse in Brooklyn.

“Tony, good to see you! Now, I'm no Republican but even I draw the line at vote rigging. Did you know the Falcone Family owns a silent share in a company making the new voting machines?” asked Danny.

“That's bad, right?” asked Tony.

“Well, we certainly can't trust them. No, it's best if they all have a MAJOR malfunction, if you catch my drift” said Danny.

Tony then left Danny’s penthouse and headed over to the voting machine facility. Upon arriving, Tony saw two Falcone Family mobsters armed with revolvers were standing guard. After eliminating the two Falcone Family mobsters armed with revolvers, Tony entered the facility. After looking around the nearby security centre, Tony found a set of explosives lying on the table. Tony then set the explosives beside the main voting machine. After setting the explosives and making his escape, Tony watched as the voting machine facility go up in flames. Tony then headed to the local newsagent to buy the daily newspaper.

 

Counterfeit Count

 

The next day early in the evening, Tony visited Danny at his penthouse in Brooklyn.

“Bad news Tony!” said Danny.

“What?” asked Tony.

“The exit polls are neck and neck. Time for plan B. We steal some of the uncounted votes, and replace them with some of our own” said Danny.

“What was that you said about vote rigging?” asked Tony.

“Oh, shut up!” said Danny.

Tony then left Danny’s penthouse and headed over to the main vote counting headquarters. Upon arriving, Tony saw the ballot van set off to the first exchange. After following the ballot van for ten minutes, Tony saw the ballot van pull in beside a courier. After the courier got the ballot bundle from the ballot van’s driver, Tony ambushed the courier and retrieved the ballot bundle. The ballot van then set off again. Tony started to follow the ballot van again. After another ten minutes of trailing the ballot van, Tony witnessed the ballot van pull into a car park with a courier waiting inside of it. After the courier got the ballot bundle from the ballot van’s driver, Tony ambushed the courier and retrieved the second ballot bundle. The ballot van then set off for a second time. Tony started to follow the ballot van again. After another ten minutes of trailing the ballot van, Tony saw the ballot van stop outside a launderette were a courier was waiting inside. After the courier got the ballot bundle from the ballot van’s driver, Tony ambushed the courier and retrieved the third ballot bundle. Tony then went to the nearby post office and mailed the three ballot bundles to Danny’s penthouse.

 

Letterman on the Rocks

 

The next day late in the afternoon, Tony visited Danny at his penthouse in Brooklyn.

“Tony, you got to help me! Bloomberg has got evidence linking me to Don Salvatore Lombardo, we're sunk!” said Danny.

“Calm down, evidence goes missing every day” said Tony.

“I'd hoped you'd see it that way. The evidence is in a van which is parked down at the docks. Retrieve the evidence and bring it back here” said Danny.

Tony then left Danny’s penthouse and headed over to the docks. Upon arriving, Tony saw a roadblock was set up with four Falcone Family mobsters armed with revolvers behind it. After performing a drive-by on the roadblock which simultaneously killed the four Falcone Family mobsters, Tony hopped off his motorbike and started to infiltrate the docks. While creeping around the docks, Tony killed any Falcone Family mobsters on guard by breaking their necks. After killing about ten Falcone Family mobsters which were all positioned differently around the docks, Tony entered the van containing the incriminating evidence. Tony then headed back to Danny’s penthouse and parked the van containing the incriminating evidence in a garage adjacent to it. Tony then exited the garage and went into Danny’s penthouse.

“Hey Danny, I took care of that mess for you. Everything should be cool now” said Tony.

“Really” said Danny.

“You got no more links to organized crime. You're whiter than white. You could be the Pope” said Tony.

“The Pope! Listen to this” said Danny.

Danny put in a cassette into a portable radio and played it. It contained the evening news: Although no links can be proved between Letterman and New York’s organized crime, it seems his friendship with mobsters including Tony Castellano, have counted heavily against his voters' eyes. The past few hours have seen his popularity plummet. He is deemed, it seems, unfit for office”.

The cassette stopped playing.

“I’m deemed unfit because it's your entire fault!” said Danny.

“My fault?” asked Tony.

“Oh yeah” said Danny.

“My fault?” asked Tony.

“I can't believe the sacrifices I've made for this town and do you know what my weakness has been the entire time? Humility! Now I'm ruined. BANKRUPT! $2O million in the hole” said Danny.

Tony then left Danny’s office and headed to the local bar to get drunk. Along the way, Tony heard the news: “There'll be much celebrating tonight as the industrial action that brought New York to a stand-still has finally come to a close. The Lincoln Tunnel has been reopened for business. Militant strikers have finally dropped their placards and taken up their usual posts of employment after the freshly inaugurated Mayor Bloomberg made them a promise at a local rally”.

 

Buying Up Brooklyn and the Heights

 

The next day at noon, Tony took a drive around Midtown. Upon passing the local slaughterhouse, Tony got a message on his pager informing him to come to the park in Midtown. Tony had better things to do than go to some park but curiosity took over Tony making him head over to the park. Ten minutes later, Tony parked his car and entered the park. Upon entering he was gestured over by a stout Caucasian-American man who had blond hair and blue eyes. He was wearing a business suit.

“So you're Don Salvatore Lombardo’s right hand man, huh?” asked the stout Caucasian-American man.

“Excuse me?” asked Tony.

“I’ve got all kinds of important people very annoyed with you. The name is Lee McNulty, NYPD” said the stout Caucasian-American man.

“I don't know what you're talking about. I'm in the modeling business” said Tony.

“Whatever you say tough guy. You grease balls want to put holes in each other, I don't care. All I care about is my cut” said Lee McNulty.

“I love a man of principle” said Tony.

“Well me too. I go to all their memorial services in fast cars with hot broads. My cut! Where is it?” asked Lee.

“I don’t have it. So buzz off” said Tony.

“Relax. Go get drunk or something. This business equals. I keep the law off your back and you keep me in business” said Lee.

“Well how do I know I’m not about to be shaken down by every corrupt cop from here to Miami?” asked Tony.

“I'm going to help you take over this town. In return I want some favors. Now come on, Tony, take a drive with me. We're going to meet your friends, the Scalice Family and the Falcone Family” said Lee.

Lee then gestured Tony to follow him. Tony did so. Lee and Tony then got into a nearby parked white Range Rover.

“Drive over to the construction site in Brooklyn” said Lee.

Tony set off. Half an hour later, Tony parked the Range Rover opposite the construction site in Brooklyn.

“Go in there and claim that area for the Yakuza. There is a Katana in the boot to help you” said Lee McNulty.

Tony got out and went to the Range Rover’s boot and opened it. There he discovered a Katana. Tony took the Katana and headed into the construction site. Upon entering the construction site, Tony charged two nearby Scalice Family mobsters and cut their heads off with the Katana. Suddenly, three Scalice Family mobsters appeared. Tony immediately rushed the three Scalice Family mobsters and cut their heads off too with the Katana. Tony then approached the foreman who was hiding behind a stack of bricks and pressured him into selling the construction site to the Yakuza. Tony then exited the construction site and got picked up by Lee.

“We are now heading over to the Star Casino in Brooklyn Heights” said Lee.

Fifteen minutes later, Lee parked the Range Rover opposite the Star Casino in Brooklyn Heights.

“Go in there and claim that casino for the Yakuza” said Lee McNulty.

Tony got out and headed into the casino. Upon entering the casino’s foyer, Tony charged two nearby Falcone Family mobsters and cut their heads off with the Katana. Suddenly the double doors leading to the casino’s bar area slid open to reveal three Falcone Family mobsters armed with revolvers getting ready to charge Tony. Tony immediately rushed the three armed Falcone Family mobsters and cut their heads off too with the Katana. Tony then approached the manager of the casino who was hiding behind the bar and pressured him into selling the casino to the Yakuza. Tony then exited the casino and got picked up by Lee who dropped him off outside the nearby church. After Lee’s departure, Tony entered the church to confess his sins.

 

Surprise!

 

The next day early in the evening, Tony visited Lee at the park in Midtown.

“You took your time, Tony” said Lee.

“You’re not my mother” said Tony.

“Cute. Now listen. The Jamaican Posse has their greedy eyes on the segment of Hell’s Kitchen controlled by the Scalice Family. Get over there, meet them and help them claim the area as their own” said Lee.

“What's in this for you?” asked Tony.

“I owe them. Catch you later” said Lee.

Tony then left the park and proceeded over towards the hospital in Hell’s Kitchen via a motorcycle. Upon arriving at the hospital, Tony met with the Jamaican Posse who were wearing yellow t-shirts and green shorts. The members of the Jamaican Posse were all armed with MP9s. The leader of the Jamaican Posse approached Tony and said “Thanks for coming. We might need your assistance”.

The leader of the Jamaican Posse then faced his men and said “Come on guys, let take it to them”.

Tony then helped the Jamaican Posse with their assault on half of Hell’s Kitchen which was controlled by the Scalice Family. After the assault, Tony got a phone call from Lee.

“Have your helped the Jamaican Posse with their assault?” asked Lee.

“Yes, I have” said Tony.

“Good. Now if you don’t mind, I would like you to help the Colombian Cartel acquire the other half of Hell’s Kitchen which is controlled by the Falcone Family”.

“OK, I help” said Tony.

Lee then hung up. Tony then left the Jamaican Posse and went and met the team of Colombian Cartel commandos. All the Colombian Cartel commandos were wearing khaki outfits and were armed with M16 assault rifles. The head Colombian Cartel commando then approached Tony and said “Thanks for coming. We might need your assistance”.

The head Colombian Cartel commando then faced his men and said “Come on guys, let take it to them”.

Tony then helped the Colombian Cartel commandos with their assault on the other half of Hell’s Kitchen which was controlled by the Falcone Family. After being thanked by the head Colombian Cartel commando, Tony then headed to the local pool to go swimming. Along the way, Tony heard the news: “The city continues to be rocked by gang warfare as the power struggle between the Scalice and Falcone mafia families continues unabated. Both have been reported to have lost ground recently to the emerging gangs keen to take advantage of this mafia feud. The FBI is laying the blame for current troubles firmly at the feet of a mysterious Mr. Big with whom they are eager to talk to”.

 

Parting of the Ways

 

The next day late in the afternoon, Tony went to see Lee at the park in Midtown. Upon entering the park, Tony saw Lee having a conversation with a slim Caucasian-American man who had black hair and grey eyes. He was wearing a cream raincoat which covered a white shirt and brown trousers. Tony decided to eavesdrop on the conversation.

“I don't know what I did wrong in my past life to deserve you. Robert, you're 40 years old, and you have no idea what's really going on. I don't know how you've gotten this far. I don't know how somebody hasn't put a bullet in your mother Theresa head yet” said Lee.

“Hey watch your mouth, Lee. I can't believe we're having this conversation” said the man who Lee referred to as Robert.

“What, are you going to go run to mommy? Are you going to jump on daddy's knee?” asked Lee.

Tony stopped eavesdropping and approached the two men.

“Hey Tony!” said Lee.

“Freeze” said the man who Lee referred to as Robert. The man who Lee referred to as Robert then got out his revolver and aimed it at Tony.

“Easy! Meet my new partner. Mr. Hip! He's going to make sure I do everything by the book! Tony Castellano, Robert Mitchell. He's with us. Hey we're going to go fight organized crime now. You run along to the precinct, fill out a report” said Lee.

Robert Mitchell then exited the park and headed back to the police precinct.

“Ignore my new partner. Anyway the FBI has caught up with your boss, Don Salvatore Lombardo and they're real annoyed. He's going to take the heat for every crime in this city. He’s being held in the New York Police Headquarters so we never met. Understood?” said Lee.

Lee then walked out of the park and headed back to the police precinct. Tony then left the park and proceeded over towards the New York Police Headquarters. En route, he got a phone call from Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“Tony?” asked Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“Mr. Lombardo? Is that you?” asked Tony.

“Ay, shut up! I'm speaking to my lawyer here! Tony...I mean...Lionel? Listen. They got me. Can you believe it? I'm in prison without a plan. So get your butt over here, there's stuff I need you to take care of” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

Don Salvatore Lombardo then hung up.

“Lionel?” murmured Tony to himself.

Tony started his journey to the New York Police Headquarters. En route he bought himself a business suit to make him look like a lawyer. Along the way, Tony heard the news: “Alleged mafia don Salvatore Lombardo has been arrested by federal agents today after an extensive citywide manhunt. The FBI claimed Mr. Lombardo is the mysterious 'Mr. Big' behind every organized crime here in our own fair city”.

Rough Justice

 

An hour later, Tony dressed as a lawyer arrived at the New York Police Headquarters. Upon signing the guestbook, Tony was taken to Don Salvatore Lombardo’s cell. Don Salvatore Lombardo was wearing an orange prison jumpsuit.

“Here's your lawyer, Mr. Lombardo” said Don Salvatore Lombardo’s jailer.

“I know who the hell he is, pal. Come on and give me a break here. Go on, kid, run along, and say hello to your mother for me, capiche?” asked Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“Alright. You have got five minutes” said Don Salvatore Lombardo’s jailer.

“Listen, uh, Lionel, you're looking good. Look at me! A fine member of the community and suddenly I'm banged up. It really challenges my philanthropic nature!” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“Of course, Mr. Lombardo. We're doing everything we can to get you out of here and back to helping your community as soon as possible” said Tony.

“Of course. I hope we can sue someone for this outrage. The pimping Scalice Family or the arms dealing Falcone Family - who was it? Who ratted me out?” asked Don Salvatore Lombardo. “I don’t know” replied Tony.

Don Salvatore Lombardo thought for a moment.

“Which family do I know have a connection with the FBI? The Falcone Family I should have known. Let's hit them hard by killing their Don” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“It will be my pleasure” said Tony.

“Thank you - Tony - you really mean a lot to me, - you know that. Listen, you might need some back up. Use Mickey. Okay?” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“Whatever you think is best, Mr. Lombardo” said Tony.

“Alright. Now get out of here, Lionel” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

Tony then left the New York Police Headquarters and went to pick up Mickey Lanza. After picking Mickey up, Tony went to Midtown and drove over to Franco Falcone’s mansion. After parking across from the mansion’s entrance, Tony and Mickey watched as three FBI Cruisers blocked of the main entrance. Suddenly, the FBI agents from those cars rushed into the mansion. En route they killed the small garrison of Falcone Family mobsters. Two minutes later, the FBI agents came out. Two of the FBI agents were dragging along with them an arrested Don Franco Falcone. Don Franco Falcone was a tall muscular Italian man who had brown hair and black eyes. He was wearing a green pinstriped suit. After watching the arrest, both men laughed. They then decided to go and get drunk. While getting drunk, both men listened to the afternoon news: “We have just received word that Franco Falcone, the Don of the Falcone Family has just been arrested on racketeering charges”. Both men then went to a strip club to get entertained.

 

Day Of Reckoning

 

The next day early in the evening, Tony visited Don Salvatore Lombardo at his cell in the New York Police Headquarters.

“Hey Mr. Lombardo! It's me, Tony” said Tony.

“Tony! It's good to hear your voice kid. These chumps won't let me see nobody except you! Listen, I got plenty of business to take care of. I found out Paul Scalice ratted me out. Finish him and his family. He’s leaving via his private jet” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

Tony then left the New York Police Headquarters and went to New York’s international airport. After bypassing the security checkpoint, Tony went round the back of the airport to see Don Paul Scalice, a tall plump Italian man who had brown hair, blue eyes and a brown moustache planning to board his private jet which was docked in a hangar. He was wearing a blue pinstriped suit. After jumping out of his silver Vauxhall, Tony assaulted the private hangar. In order to kill Don Paul Scalice, Tony had to kill his two Scalice Family mobsters. After gunning down the two Scalice Family mobsters, Tony wounded Don Paul Scalice. Tony then walked up to a wounded Don Paul Scalice and slit his throat. Tony then went to the nearest real estate agent and bought a safe house. Tony decided to head to his newly bought safe house to check it out. Along the way, Tony heard the news: “New York’s long-running mafia feud is finally over after the brutal slaying today of Paul Scalice, the Don of the Scalice Family. However, crime analysts predict greater trouble lies ahead as this war leaves both mafia families in full retreat to emerging gangs. In particular, the Yakuza who are now vying for overall control of organized crime in the city”.

 

Fight Fire with Fire

 

The next day late in the afternoon, Tony visited Don Salvatore Lombardo at his cell in the New York Police Headquarters.

“Mr. Lombardo? How's it going?” asked Tony.

“Not good! I’ve got three problems. Number one, the new Mayor, Mark Bloomberg is fixing it so I don't get bail. Number two, we're stuck fighting the Triads. Number three, I hear that the Yakuza are going to make a play to take over the city. Other than that, everything is just peachy! After all these years of mob control, we've finally flushed it all down the toilet!” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“Boss, I can take care of everything” said Tony.

“The Yakuza have got a load of weapons in a lockup in Brooklyn Heights. Nothing can stop them now!” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“We'll see about that” said Tony.

Tony then headed over to the lockup in Brooklyn Heights. Upon sneaking into the lockup via a white Yugo and decimating a small garrison of Yakuza bodyguards armed with Uzis, Tony discovered two 18-wheelers filled with weapon caches. After searching the nearby guard hut and finding three sets of explosives, Tony set two sets of explosives and kept the other set. After planting the explosives, Tony escaped the lockup. After making it to the other side of the street without arousing suspicion, Tony watched as the lockup went up in flames. After watching the spectacular explosion, Tony headed to the local pizzeria. Along the way he got a phone call from a mysterious unnamed woman.

“Is this Mr. Castellano?” said the mysterious unnamed woman.

“Who's this? How'd you get my number?” asked Tony.

“If one puts their mind to it, one can achieve much. I shouldn't have to tell you that, Mr. Castellano. I need your help in a delicate matter. For this help you will be richly rewarded. I will explain when you arrive at my condo in Brooklyn Heights” said the mysterious unnamed woman.

The mysterious unnamed woman then hung up. Tony continued to the local pizzeria.

 

Killing Kazuki

 

The next day at noon, Tony visited the mysterious unnamed woman at her condo in Brooklyn Heights. Upon entering the condo, Tony was spotted by a Japanese woman who had black hair and blue eyes. She was wearing a yellow kimono dress.

“So this is the big tough gangster? You don’t look tough” asked the Japanese woman.

“Thanks” said Tony.

“Do you know what it is to live without love, Mr. Castellano? It is to live with hate” said the Japanese woman.

“I'll take your word for it” said Tony.

“It is my earnest wish to destroy a man, Mr. Castellano. This man I want you to destroy is my fiancée, Kazuki Sato. He is the Waka gashira of the Yakuza here in the city. Anyway, I am Murazumi Mieko” said the Japanese woman.

“Well what if I say no?” asked Tony.

“You won't because while I merely want him dead, you need him dead. In truth, you have already dealt him a severe blow, Mr. Castellano. Before he finds out about our meeting, I want you to assault the Star Casino down the road and kill my fiancée in the process. But beware he is very talented with a katana” said Murazumi Mieko.

Tony then left Murazumi and headed down the road to the Star Casino via a golden Yugo. Upon entering the casino’s foyer, Tony started to gun down the nearby positioned security guards. Suddenly two Yakuza bodyguards armed with Uzis rushed out of the service elevator. Before they had a chance to fire, Tony had eliminated them. As Tony progressed to the manager’s office, he had to eliminate hordes of Yakuza bodyguards. Upon entering the manager’s office, Tony found the man he guessed who was Kazuki Sato. The man he guessed who was Kazuki Sato was a small plump Japanese man. The small plump Japanese man had white hair and black eyes. He was wearing a business suit and was armed with a Katana.

“My men dishonor me but it is fitting that I kill you myself. I am going to enjoy thrusting my sword into you” said the man who Tony guessed was Kazuki Sato.

“Yeah, I heard that about you” said Tony.

Before Kazuki Sato had a chance to be the first to attack, Tony stepped backwards and riddled Kazuki Sato with bullets. Tony then went to the nearby security centre and planted the explosives he stole from the Yakuza lockup beside the main generator. Tony then left the Star Casino and headed back to Murazumi’s condo. En route back to the condo, he heard the explosion of the Star Casino. Upon entering the condo, Tony was greeted by Murazumi.

“So, Murazumi it's over now” said Tony.

“Yes, yes, I knew that” said Murazumi.

“Hey. So, I killed your fiancée. You got what you wanted. Everything worked out great” said Tony.

“Yes, it did” said Murazumi.

“Anyway you're free now. I mean you can go abroad. Start over new, that is what you always wanted” said Tony.

“I think I'm ready for a beach holiday, Mister Castellano. Anyway goodbye Mr. Castellano” said Murazumi.

Murazumi then went to pack while Tony exited the condo and headed to the local real estate agent to buy himself a safe house. En route, he listened to the news: “Reports have just come in that Kazuki Sato, Waka gashira of the Yakuza here in the city has died in a fire at his casino”. Tony turned off the radio and continued on his journey.

 

Kito Land Grab

 

The next day early in the evening, Tony got a phone call from Danny while driving past the local gambling den in Brooklyn.

“Yeah?” asked Tony.

“Tony? It's Danny. No wait, don't hang up! I've got a very exciting proposition for you. Please call round at the flophouse in New Jersey and I'll fill you in. Tony...? Please, Tony, have a heart. I'm calling you with my last...” said Danny.

The phone line went dead.

Tony headed over to the flophouse in New Jersey. Upon entering it, Tony found Danny who looked like a hobo was feeling depressed. When Danny saw Tony, he was happy.

“I know what you're thinking, Tony - how the mighty have fallen but this is just a temporary blip, my man” said Danny.

“Okay” said Tony.

“Oh, don't be all touchy. I know I said some nasty things about this being your fault and all but please forgive me” said Danny.

Tony started to leave.

“Wait, you and me are on our way back!” said Danny.

“I never went away” said Tony.

“We're in this together, amigo” said Danny.

“No, we're not” said Tony.

“Please! Please... please - forget about it, buddy” said Danny.

“'It's your entire fault.' Pathetic” said Tony.

“10%?” said Danny.

“10% of what? This? Oh you're too kind” said Tony.

“Not of this. Of something really big. Come with me. I'll tell you about it on the drive to the airport. I hope you have your car. Mine's in the repair shop” said Danny.

Tony and Danny exited the flophouse and headed over to New York’s international airport. En route, Danny started to speak.

“Tony, my ex-mentor, Adam Cartwright, is flying into town today. It has come to my attention that he's working for the Kito Corporation. They'll do anything to get prime real estate. We HAVE to get hold of his plans to acquire the land” said Danny.

Tony then bypassed the security checkpoint at the airport and drove round the back of the airport were the hangars were situated. As Tony drove past the second hangar, Danny told him to stop. Danny pointed over to the private jet in the hangar. Tony looked and saw an old man getting off the private jet. He pointed out that old man getting off the private jet was Adam Cartwright. Adam Cartwright was a tall slim Englishman who had grey hair, blue eyes and a grey beard. He was wearing a cowboy outfit. As Adam Cartwright got off the private jet, he was flanked by two Colombian Cartel commandos.

“Hmmm, Kito must have employed the Colombian Cartel to protect Adam. Anyway kill him, Tony” said Danny.

Tony got off his motorbike and sniped Adam Cartwright and the two Colombian Cartel commandos. Danny then went over to the corpse of Adam Cartwright and retrieved the plans.

“These are going to make me a fortune” said Danny.

Tony then went back to the flophouse in New Jersey and dropped off Danny. Tony then headed to the local estate agent to buy himself a safe house. After purchasing one, Tony went to it to check it out.

 

Bringing the House Down

 

The next day late in the afternoon, Tony visited Danny at the flophouse in New Jersey.

“I'm back! Back from the dead, Tony! Risen anew, like a phoenix from the ashes. Like Lazarus. Yes, Lazarus Letterman! Ah, I'm going to be rich again! Kito are going to pay me a fortune to see this deal through! We did it Tony!” said Danny.

“Whatever” said Tony.

“Anyway, if the Kito deal is to come to fruition we're going to need to 'clear' a small section of land in Midtown” said Danny.

“When you say 'we', you mean 'me', right?” asked Tony.

“No, I mean you and Marty” said Danny.

Suddenly, a grey van pulled up outside the flophouse.

“That will be Marty now” said Danny. Tony and Danny exited the flophouse to see Marty a bald African-American man who had blue eyes. He was wearing a green shirt and blue jeans.

“It’s all here, Danny” said Marty.

“Tony, we're one little job away from being fabulously rich. We've scoured plans of Midtown. Its weakest points are along the old subway that runs underneath the area” said Danny.

“OK” said Tony.

“Just head along the Lincoln Tunnel and you'll find you way in just fine” said Danny.

Tony and Marty got into the grey van and headed over to the entrance to the Lincoln Tunnel. En route they got rammed by two orange Ferraris.

“Why are Falcone Family mobsters chasing us?” asked Marty.

“No idea” said Tony.

Tony then drove into the Lincoln Tunnel after losing the two orange Ferraris. After finding a slip road in the tunnel, Tony drove onto it. After a few twists and turns, Tony arrived at a T-intersection were two construction workers were working. Marty got out and killed the two construction workers with his revolver. Marty then planted the first set of explosives. Marty then got into the passenger seat again. Tony continued into the next connecting tunnel which turned out to be a derelict subway station. Marty got out of the van again and planted the next set of explosives. Marty then got into the passenger seat for a second time. Tony continued into the next connecting tunnel. Marty got out of the van again and planted the last set of explosives. Marty then got into the passenger seat for a third time. Tony reversed and headed back into the derelict subway station were at the end of the tunnel was a roadblock with two Falcone Family armed with revolvers behind it. Tony bypassed the roadblock and headed up a ramp which led back onto the main tunnel road. After getting back onto the main tunnel road, Tony speeded back to New Jersey. As they drove out of the Lincoln Tunnel, Tony and Marty heard the explosion which signaled that a part of Midtown was blown up. Tony then dropped Marty off at the local pub while he went to get rid of the van which might be useful to the police if they found it. While he did that, Tony heard the news: “It's now been confirmed that the destruction of a minor part of Midtown was caused by a series of underground explosions. Rumors suggest that the mafia-linked Falcone Family used to be using the derelict subway running beneath the area to stockpile an arsenal of munitions for their gang wars”.

 

The Morgue Party

 

The next day at noon, Tony visited Danny at the flophouse in New Jersey.

“Ah, Tony you’re here. I’m going to have the annual morgue party to celebrate my success. So I need you to collect Adam’s corpse from the church in Brooklyn” said Danny.

Tony exited the flophouse and headed over to the church in Brooklyn. An hour and a half later, Tony arrived at the church in Midtown. After hijacking the hearse containing Adam’s corpse, Tony headed back to the flophouse in New Jersey. After leaving the hearse outside the flophouse, Tony headed to the local takeaway.

 

Letterman on the Run

 

The next day early in the evening, Tony visited Danny at his newly acquired villa in New Jersey.

“I need you to deliver me to the airport immediately. I got into debt with the Colombian Cartel and they want their loan repaid but I nothing giving them any of my new earned money” said Danny.

“I’ll help you to escape” said Tony.

Tony and Danny then headed to New York’s international airport via Danny’s newly acquired blue pickup truck. En route, a silver Chrysler rammed the blue pickup truck. Tony gave Danny an AK-47 to fend off the ramming silver Chrysler. Due to pure luck, Danny managed to eliminate the Chrysler’s occupants. Ten minutes later, Tony and Danny arrived at New York’s international airport.

“We made it! Take me to Adam's jet” said Danny.

Tony then bypassed the security checkpoint and headed round the back of the airport to where the private jet was docked. Before boarding, Danny said his farewells. Tony watched as the private jet flew out into the sunshine. Tony then went to the local gun shop to buy some body armor.

The New York Redemption

 

The next day late in the afternoon, Tony visited Don Salvatore Lombardo at his cell in the New York Police Headquarters.

“Mr. Lombardo?” said Tony.

“Tony! I'm getting out! My arraignment's today!” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“Great!” said Tony.

“Yeah but I got this notion that the Palermo Mafia don't want me to make it to court. With me here, who's stopping them from taking over?” asked Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“Hey, they'd have to get by me first, Mr. Lombardo” said Tony.

“Yeah, Tony. Whatever. Just make sure I get my day in court! Hey, the guards are coming now. I'll see you round the front” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

Tony then left the cell and exited the New York Police Headquarters. After entering an open FBI Cruiser, Tony watched as Don Salvatore Lombardo was put into an armored police transport truck with two FBI agents. The armored police transport truck was part of a convoy consisting of a police car in front. Tony got in behind the police transport truck to bluff the police car in front. As the armored police transport truck passed over to Little Italy, it hit a roadblock consisting of two silver Peugeots and an Palermo Mafia mobster armed with an M4 Carbine. The Palermo Mafia mobster was wearing a grey pinstriped suit. The Palermo Mafia mobster armed with the M4 Carbine riddled the police car in front of the armored police transport truck with bullets. The armored police transport truck then reversed and took another route to the courthouse. Tony followed. En route, Tony overtook the armored police transport truck and smashed through several roadblocks set up by the Palermo Mafia mobsters. Finally the armored police transport truck arrived at the courthouse in Little Italy. Don Salvatore Lombardo was then escorted into the courthouse by his two personal FBI bodyguards. After the trial, Don Salvatore Lombardo came out not in his orange prison jumpsuit but in his normal black pinstriped suit.

“It's good to be a free man again. But listen. I'm going to head up to the compound, okay? I'll meet you up there” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

Don Salvatore Lombardo then got into a waiting taxi and headed over towards the Lombardo Compound. Tony headed to his nearby safe house to get some sleep. En route he got a phone call from Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“Tony! This is Salvatore! You did it! I can hardly believe it! We're nearly home free kid! Come and see me. We just got a few loose ends to tie up” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

Don Salvatore Lombardo then hung up. Tony continued onto his safe house.

 

The Italian Gambit

 

The next day at noon, Tony visited Don Salvatore Lombardo at the Lombardo Compound which was situated in Little Italy Heights. Upon entering Don Salvatore Lombardo’s office, Tony found an overconfident Don Salvatore Lombardo hanging up on somebody.

“Hey Tony!” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“Boss! You're back where you belong” said Tony.

“Hey we're both back. You and me! We did it, huh?” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“You know it” said Tony.

“We cleaned up with the Falcone Family. The Scalice Family we sent into the sea. Now, I’ve got the Palermo Mafia on the phone wanting peace. We all want peace! But my peace, not their peace. I'm the big man now. No chump from the old country is going to tell me what to do” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“You did? Was that wise?” asked Tony.

“Hey, I'm the boss now. ME! Now let's go see Mayor Bloomberg about getting my charges dropped” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

Tony and Don Salvatore Lombardo walked out to Don Salvatore Lombardo’s personal bulletproof Lotus. Both men entered it.

“Step on it, Tony. If I'm right, then the Palermo Mafia will be going after Mayor Bloomberg. We got to get to him before they do” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

Tony then speeded over to City Hall in Midtown via using the side streets. Upon arriving at the steps ascending to City Hall, Tony and Don Salvatore Lombardo were ambushed by four Palermo Mafia mobsters armed with M4 Carbines.

“Let’s take them down, Tony” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

Tony and Don Salvatore Lombardo worked together to wipe out the four Palermo Mafia mobsters armed with M4 Carbines.

“That welcoming committee means the Palermo Mafia is in City Hall” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

Tony and Don Salvatore Lombardo entered City Hall while on their guard. As their ascended the steps to the first floor, they were ambushed by two Palermo Mafia mobsters who were also armed with M4 Carbines. Tony dealt with them swiftly.

“Good work” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

Tony and Don Salvatore Lombardo ascended to the second floor. Luckily there were no Palermo Mafia mobsters waiting for them. Tony and Don Salvatore Lombardo then headed down the corridor to the Mayor’s office. Upon entering the Mayor’s office, Tony and Don Salvatore Lombardo found Nick aiming a revolver at the head of Mark Bloomberg, the newly appointed Mayor.

“It figures. Give him up! Mayor Bloomberg is mine! THIS CITY is mine!” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“Salvatore, Sicily never wanted Mayor Bloomberg. But when tribute dried up, what could we do? It was nothing personal” said Nick.

“Nothing personal? After what you've put me through! I'm going to tear your heart out!” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

Tony pulled out his revolver. Before Nick had a chance to react, Tony quickly shot him in the leg. Nick fell to the floor. The revolver Nick was armed with was confiscated by Tony. Don Salvatore Lombardo then approached Nick and pulled out a revolver also. He then shot Nick three times in the head. Salvatore then turned round to look at the Mayor, Mark Bloomberg.

“Hey, Mr. Mayor! We just saved you from that bunch of crazed assassins” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“Yeah, thanks” said the Mayor, Mark Bloomberg.

“And that means, what?” asked Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“The city is grateful to you?” asked the Mayor, Mark Bloomberg.

“Try again” said Tony.

“That you work for me, right?” asked Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“Oh yeah, that I work for you” said the Mayor, Mark Bloomberg.

“Good. Now don't call us, we'll call you” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“Thank you, Mr. Lombardo” said the Mayor, Mark Bloomberg.

Tony and Don Salvatore Lombardo walked down the two flights of steps and exited City Hall.

“Tony! We did it! We run things now. You and me. We're a team, huh? Now I just need you to do one small thing for me; I got some problems that I've been dealing with” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

Tony then drove Don Salvatore Lombardo back to the Lombardo Compound where he met with his uncle, Don Pietro Lombardo. Don Pietro Lombardo was a small Italian man who had grey hair and green eyes. He was wearing a grey pinstriped suit.

“Hey, uncle! How are you doing, ah? You look good” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“Ah, Salvatore. All we really wanted was clarity” said Don Pietro Lombardo. “Yes, uncle. I appreciate that” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“So, we are at peace now - you and the old country?” asked Don Pietro Lombardo.

“Of course. Me and all my people” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“Good. Very good” said Don Pietro Lombardo.

Don Pietro Lombardo began to leave.

“Sneaky little old man. I wouldn't trust him an inch” whispered Don Salvatore Lombardo into Tony’s ear.

“Every dog has his day” muttered Don Pietro Lombardo to himself as he left.

As Don Pietro Lombardo left, Mickey entered the office.

“Anyway, we did it. Yeah, we’ve cleaned up. You both did real well. I always thought you were good kids. You saved my butt a few times” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“It wasn’t a problem” said Tony and Mickey in unison.

Tony, Mickey and Don Salvatore Lombardo then started to celebrate their victory over their enemies by drinking champagne.
