ALESSANDRO

We sat around the conference room, in the Moravia skyrise building, the entire New York view stretching on the west wall.

The meeting was with the top members of the Columbian crime organization. There were only two of them along with Cesare and myself.

We had to keep it low and under the radar. I sent everyone home and ensured there was nobody around to bear witness to this.

Damien had ensured that; there was nobody better than him at ensuring people were invisible and things remained unseen. It was Damien’s job.

Trained for it.

Hired more of my friends from the army to help the Mafia family business run smoothly.

Hired Amadeo who like selling guns,Enzo and Giovanni who pushed drugs, I relegated to Money Laundering since her death, Dante Rossi did a bit of everything but selling flesh.

We all did a few other things on the side and had legitimate fronts, usually in the form of casinos, but if I needed a drug shipment, usually I went to Enzo and Giovanni.
