Putting In Work | Started by: Vincent_Gigante on Dec 16, '14 21:28 |
Some time had passed since Vincent the Chin Gigante was last seen on the streets. He had been Laying low from a recent truck hijacking, The hijacking had done exactly what he had hoped it would. The job had strengthened the bond to his crew. The Chin was starting to make a name for himself with his numerous rackets, from his sports book to the numbers game and even his shy business. The Chin seemed to be an old school practitioner of traditional mob rackets.
Feeling the love in his new crew Vincent had been putting in a lot of work with Vincenzo. Vincenzo was a short, stocky guy known for his quick wit and immense knowledge of this thing of ours.
Under Vincenzo’s instructions Vincent called to see a building contractor. The Hudson Bay Company owned a haulage company. Phili-Stein wanted the builder to use the family’s firm but so far the builder had been unresponsive to their requests. Vincent the Chin Gigante knew that this was yet another opportunity for him to step up and shine. Gigante knowing that changing the contractors mind would endear him to his captain, set out to the contractors site on the other side of town.
When The chin arrived he walked into the contractor's office and noticed two overweight men in their late 40’s behind a desk studying plans and drawings. Vincent closed the door behind him. Both men looked up.
“Joe Del Vecchio?”
The guy on the right nodded.
“I want to talk to you about your choice of haulage company. Now, I can recommend using The Hudson Bay Company as your primary hauling provider. We can guarantee-”
“Va fanculo! No deal, goombah. Get off my site.”
“You know who I represent?”
“Tell Phili-Stein to fuck off.”
“Now get off my site.”
Gigante thought to himself, then and there that he was going to put a bullet in that guy’s skull. He knew though that Phili-Stein would be be better of with cash then a body.
“Thats a real shame you say that”
Vincent lit a cigarette. As he left the office he muttered, “A real shame.” A week later Joe Del Vecchio was dining in a restaurant with his mistress. He tried to see this girl whenever he could. Has to be careful though, Madonna, if his wife found out then the family life he prided himself on would turn to shit. He knew exactly how Olympia would react. She would be on the next boat back to the old country, and taking the twins with her. But he couldn't resist chasing the skirt. The pasta fazule was on form and the wine was flowing.
Joe Del Vecchio tried to listen to the pianist over the chatter of the other diners. It was a sad tune that his mother used to play. Candle light glowed from the tables giving the place a cozy yet romantic feel. He sipped his wine. Life was hard but sometimes, on nights like this, it also seemed wonderful.
Del Vecchio asked for the bill. The waiter nodded and returned a minute later. When joe opened the bill he gasped. Instead of the bill with its list of food dishes and bottles of vino, there was a handwritten note. It read: Your bill has been settled, with my compliments. Please reconsider your choice of hauling companies. Perhaps Mrs Del Vecchio would be more responsive to our requests. I trust I can rely on your co-operation.
Del Vecchio jumped to his feet and looked around the small restaurant as Vincent closed the door behind him and moved out into the night.
The next day Joe Del Vecchio took out the haulage contract with The Hudson Bay Company.

The streets were alive, and there was a real buzz about them tonight. Not that they were ever really quiet. There was always something going on in the streets. From the smell of freshly ground coffee from the coffee shops and the chatter that rang out into the crowds of people passing by. To the music often overheard playing from the local restaurants where mistresses were kept entertained in the candlelit shadows. To numerous known and unknown people standing on soap boxes, shouting to people as they walked through, in an attempt to be heard, and seen, in this life of ours.
He just looked at me, and I couldn't help but notice his chin again. Not wanting to make anything of it I began to excuse myself.

Having just made a quick retreat out of the restaurant, Vincent Gigante felt the door jolt as he accidently knocked a young well-dressed man to ground. He didn’t mean to, he didn’t even see him. As soon as he could he offered the man a hand and as he pulled him to his feet, Vincent sized the young but solid man up quickly hoping he wouldn't have to use some of his infamous boxing skills.

Word has started to filter back to the Hudson Bay headquarters that Vincent The Chin Gigante had managed to pull off somewhat of a coup, plans were already being drawn up to lay Joe Del Vecchio to rest, both Philli-Stein and Vincenzo grew tired of Joe's reluctance to sign a contract with the Hudson Bay Company Philli especially as he had known the man for a number of years and thought they had an understanding.. "He's got to the end of the day if by then he still wont cooperate you know what to do" Philli said to Vincenzo in a somewhat agitated tone, Vincenzo looked at his boss deep in thought for a few moments when he had an idea, "you know boss we have a quite a few new associates all eager to make a name for themselves, we could always send one of them to try and change Joe's mind what have we got to lose?" Vincenzo said whilst still deep in thought, Philli thought about it for a few moments then asked "Im listening who do you have in mind?" looking back at Vincenzo, Philli seemed intrigued "Well I was thinking of giving the job to Vincent_Gigante as you know he has been earning well for the family so maybe time to see what else he is capable of, after all he does have a presence about him" Vincenzo said as he watched his boss ponder the idea, after giving it some thought Philli decided to run with the idea "Ok get it sorted but tell Chin he got 24hrs after that you know what has to be done". Later that evening Vincenzo received a message from another one of his associates it seems the Chin had somehow pulled it off, after reading the note Vincenzo sent word he wanted to see the Chin, after about an hour Vincent_Gigante arrived at the headquarters a huge smile on his face "All sorted boss i dont think we'll have anymore problems with Joe Del Vecchio he seemed quite helpful in the end" Chin said as he handed the signed contract to Vincenzo, "seems i made the right choice Philli will be happy, keep your head down and keep doing what you are doing and im sure you will go a long way with us" replied Vincenzo as he patted Gigante on the back "You have done us a great service here and it wont be forgotten". |
