The Planning ~ Detroit Casing Started by: Charlie__Pavanno on Sep 22, '18 00:57

(Co-Written with Rosaleen)

Rosaleen was diligently working on a case for a good friend of her father Vincent Cama. She remembers the panic in his voice when she received his call. Apparently, his warehouse was robbed.

He told her about 45 kilograms (99 pounds) of cocaine hidden inside boxes of imported pineapples was taken. The cocaine was secreted within the corrugated bottoms of 20 cardboard boxes containing pineapples.  Also taken was 2 fine pieces of art. A painting En Canot, by Jean Metzinger and Man with a Pipe, by Jean Metzinger they were being housed in the warehouse waiting to be shipped back to the old country.

She put her men on the case right away.  Within two days she found out it was an inside job.  After interrogating the culprits they found out where the merchandise was being stored in Las Vegas but it was in the process of being shipped to the Detroit airport.  She didn’t have the time or the manpower to intercept the shipment before it left Las Vegas but knew exactly where the shipment was headed.  

It would be arriving at the United Airlines terminal, to a small cargo warehouse in Hanger 12 in 3 days. She had to work fast so she contacted her trusted friend  Charlie Pavanno in Detroit to ask for his help...


Charlie sighs as he enters his apartment in Downtown Detroit, he had still kept it, even after the disbanding of The Ivory, it was like a second home to him and so he stayed, keeping it tidy with the help of a few maids that would come and clean a few times a week. Charlie heard the phone ringing, wondering who could be calling him on the Detroit Line, he walked over and with hesitation picked it up.

As the Last time, he answered this phone, it had led to him getting carved like a Pig and Shot, making him miss a lot of action, something that he did not want to miss currently. Soon enough the phone was to his ear, and he heard the voice of one of his trusted friends, Rosa, as she was known to him, or better known as Rosaleen to the rest of the Underworld

Rosa had talked to him about a robbery of 45 Kilos, something that shocked him, he never knew that something that big would be robbed. Although many other priceless pieces of art were stolen, something that set him on edge, he knew they would be worth a lot of money, he would have tried to convince Rosa to let them have it for themselves, but no, the Client was now paying double to steal back the Coke and Paintings.

"I'll talk to my contacts, see what I can do, about entry and how we can smuggle it out, you get some guys together and we will go from there. Pick people you can trust Rosa, no people who are just here to make a quick buck, this has to be done smoothly, or otherwise more people may catch on and try to take it from us, I'll contact you with the details soon."

Charlie soon hung up, knowing that he had to get some information from his contacts, knowing that they could tell him, and they did owe him a few favors, considering he had been a lot of people's go-to guy in Detroit, Charlie nodded and knew that they were in for a good payday IF they pulled this off...


Rosaleen knew she would depend on Charlie Pavanno.  He was was a smart guy with a lot of contacts. She recalled when she first met him. He pulled off a job that was so well planned it went off without a hitch. Since then they have pulled off some very successful ones. She knew she needs someone she could trust to help her get the job done. Infragrating the airport wasn't going to be easy but she knew they could get the merchandise back. She waited for him to get back with her with the plans


Charlie soon found himself writing stuff down, knowing that it was time to begin to inform Rosaleen of the plan they had in mind, Charlie soon rung her up, knowing that she would need to assemble this team with less time that was needed. Although he knew that she could be trusted to find people with the skills needed to overcome the obstacle that they would no doubt face, Charlie soon heard the familiar soft voice of Rosaleen.

"I've got in touch with my contacts, they've improvised, knowing that it was the best thing for them that they had me on their side, they've changed the time-sheets, with more incompetent guards, I'm guessing we could use a distraction, if there is someone like that you can find, then we can get past them with ease"

Charlie soon heard a hum of agreement from Rosaleen, who was liking the plan, knowing that it was the best they could with the short amount of time they had. It was of importance that they get the goods back in time, without something stopping them, soon Charlie started to speak in his soft tone again

"After this, we will need a person to drive the truck to the back of the Warehouse, while we have finished casing it, taking our Clients goods, but also some other valuables that we may find useful."

Rosa let out a hum of acknowledgment, knowing who and when she needed these people, only then Charlie's voice had come through the phone, no longer was it the soft tone, but it was cold and echoed through the phone.

"Understand this Rosaleen? We know this is important to the Client, a lot rides on this, perhaps the Client will have other jobs for us in the future. Collect those needed people and be in touch soon!"

Rosaleen listened to @Charlie_Pavanno plans.  We didn't have much time and had to implement the plans as soon as possible.  We couldn't risk the chance of the merchandise being moved from the warehouse at the airport. 

Charlie, I will arrive and meet with you tomorrow with some of my people to finalize everything. We need to know the activities going on at Hanger #12.  We also need to find some inside help.  I know that the Patrizia boys are the ones who stole the merchandise, so let's try and find one of them we can persuade to help us out. 

And not to worry everyone will be handsomely paid.

Rosaleen hung up the phone with Charlie then got in touch with her people and informed them they would be leaving tomorrow.

Charlie knew that Rosaleen and the rest of the crew were on their way, he would need to prepare for housing, thank god that he knew a nice Hotel that would easily cater to them. Charlie found himself in front of a Downtown Hotel, it looked fancy, but he could see many mobsters that frequented it, most trying to lay low and out of sight, preferring to be known as mere businessmen, while others were boisterous and did not care for the police, as most were on the take.

Charlie walked towards the Manager of the establishment, who looked at him for a second before his eyes had glossed over with fear and his hands were hovering over the small chime bell, Charlie would have laughed or shown a single sign of amusement, but no, he continued to look at the man with a blank face, not wanting this to be any longer than necessary. 

"I need the Penthouse Room, I'd be willing to be double for it, a few out of town people are coming in and I need them to be treated like royalty, is that understood?"

The Manager got to work quickly as he listed the Penthouse Room as booked, Charlie with a smirk soon twitching up at the corner of his lips. He knew that Rosaleen would soon arrive, he would inform her once she arrived, hoping that she found her way towards 'Detroit's Finest Hotel' as it was the best that Detroit had to offer.

Charlie walked out, soon lighting a smoke and walking out into the streets of Detroit, with the small feeling of excitement flowing through him.

When Rosaleen arrived at the airport @Charlie_Pavanno had a limousine waiting to take them to the Hotel. We arrived at a beautiful Lodge.  Once checked in the Manager handed me an envelope that had been delivered to me.  I reluctantly took it because just my name was on it, no sender.  I thought maybe Charlie had it delivered but why would he not mention it.  We proceeded to follow the Bellman to our rooms. Once settled into a 2 bedroom VIP suite,  Bentley and I sat down in the small conference room adjacent to the suite. 

I opened the envelope but there still was no indication who the sender was.  I  informed DeeSe7en, Random, and Apache as to why I would be in Detroit and wondered if it might have been one of them.  In sending the telegram she notices you accidentally had omitted Flexx-Mitchell from the telegrams but was hoping Apache would advise him of the situation. 

In the envelope, there was a detailed map of the United Airlines terminal, blueprints and time cards for the past month of the employees of Hanger #12. Also the security codes for all the doors.

What the fuck? as Rosaleen looked at Bentley.  Bentley just laughed for Rosaleen hardly ever uses curse words.

It's still a mystery who had to send the information.

Rosaleen adviced the Front Desk Manager that it was cool for Nighttrid to be escorted to her suite.  When he arrived Bentley opened the door for him and he joined us in the conference room.   She greeted her old friend and told him how happy she was to see him that it had been quite a while.  She remembered how he came to her with the respect of so many others and was highly trusted.   She offered him a drink as they sat down and told him she had just ordered some food.

As they sat down she explained everything that was going on, how badly she felt that someone would rip off such a good man.  She showed him the contents in the enevelope.

We have a good start here.  I have to get Vincent Cama merchandise back or have him be well compensated for the thief. There is no doubt whatsoever we have to recover his painting.  He was getting ready to have them shipped to the old country.  I am waiting for  @Charlie_Pavanno to arrive.  He is the one that's going to spread head the operation.  Any help you might be able to provide would be greatly appreciated.

After sitting doing and listening to Rosaleen, Nighttrid remembered how she had helped him in his hour of need and now he was ready to help her in any way possible.

Nighttrid understood how important it was that the merchandise be returned, Nighttrid offered his assistance with what ever needed to be done.

"I am here for you and my services are at your disposal"

Rosaleen thanked Nighttrid and told him she knew she could count on him.   The food arrived and they made a nice spread of meats, fruit, and cheeses on the table in the sitting area. Again she got a call from the Front Desk Manager that they knew she was expecting @Charlie_ Pavanno and he had arrived was being escorted to her room.  

When Charlies arrived at the suite she introduced him to Bentley and Nighttrid.  They all grabbed a few bites to eat and sat back down in the conference room.  Rosaleen showed Charlie the information she had received, still wondering who had sent it.  We were eager to hear Charlie's plans and get this ball rolling.

Charlie stands in the centre of the room, knowing that all talking and muttering has all but ceased. The room was silent, waiting on him like he was the King of England. Only he was not, he was Chucky Pavanno, the coordinator of these people, the one who would make the plan and let them know their roles. He looked at each and every one of them, knowing that he needed to get a read of their character, to see if they had the balls to pull something like this off.

What Charlie found did not disappoint him and had instead, allowed a grin to grow on his lips, he could see that everyone knew what was about to happen. This was something big and a personal favour for a Client, even though, he did not know of the man, Rosaleen did and that was enough. He picked up a glass of Scotch Whiskey, knowing that he would need this to calm his own nerves and he took a small sip, letting the burning sensation wash over him.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, you all know who I am, you all know what I have done for my Former and Current Family. If you do not, My name is Charles Pavanno, Associate of The Lucania Crime Family. Formerly of The Ivory Tower,"

Charlie looked to everyone as he said this, knowing that he needed to let them view him as the Powerful Man in this situation. To which, he did not feel on the inside but hey, whatever worked for making these people motivated to do the job.

"From this moment on, Nothing else matters, not your bosses, GodFathers, Captains, or even your famillies. You're here to do a job and you will complete this job until we collect what we needed too. Is that understood?"

An immediate “Oh shit”  came to Rosaleen’s lips but realized no sound came out.  She saw the same sentiment in Bentley’s eyes.   Rosaleen knew her men would have a problem with that and was hoping no one said anything.

She knew they would cling on the words Nothing else matters, not your bosses, GodFathers, Captains, or even your families.  She knew that’s all they lived for.  It’s always been family first with them, then for the betterment of the community. They have earned their loyal buttons and the respect of the streets.

Just then one of her boys Fox jumped up and said “Fuck this shit.  We know what we are doingJust give us the fucking plan.” She could hear the others grumbled.

Hold up. You all need to just chill. She knew you had to get things under control.  She took a sip of her ice tea, let a small ice cube roll through her lips.  She slowly let it dissolved and continued speaking.   She told them you have to remember where you are.

First of all, you have to take into consideration that Charlie doesn’t know any of you.

Secondly, I tell you he is one of the most respected on these streets, as I tell him you are my most trusted. 

Lastly, Fox, ( that was the one with the outburst) we are on his turf.  When someone comes to your hood the first thing you are going to do is set down your own rules.  Now maybe they may be a little unorthodox to us but as long we get the job done let's roll with it.

She asked everyone to take a break and just Bentley, Charles, and Nighttrid were left in the room.

She turned to Charlie and told him she was sorry.  She hated how paranoia ran so rapid. especially when you are on another's turf. But her men have been around a long time and are sensitive about their code of honor.

Nighttrid did not know Charlie that well and had only heard about him, he knew what Charlie was trying to do but was still waiting to hear the actual plan.

Being a man of direction, Nighttrid just needed to know the details and did not care for speeches or theatrics. He had trust in Rosaleen and she had trust in Charlie, for this reason no emotions were shown and only a mild nod was given after Rosaleen apologized for the outburst from Fox.

"I understand the caution and paranoia that you must all have, I have not even informed my GodMother, who is my Boss. Only because I have to focus on the business at hand with this Client, our famillies should understand the need for an important Client such as this one, should he ever need our assistance again. We show him now that we have what it takes to do the Jobs that he has set out for us!"

Charlie stated in a loud firm voice, which immediately calmed everyone down, knowing that he was the Leader, even if he did not want to be, in this situation. He wanted the job complete, not wanting anything going wrong, or anyone getting wind of the product and goods flowing into the Warehouse Hanger. He knew they're many ears within The Underworld and that many of them would want the product.

"Now I assume you got the information that I arranged, The Guards that are on duty, are lazy and not fit for the job, but it does not mean they won't check us. It just means we need a distraction, I assume Rosaleen had picked out a job for each of you that fits your skills..."

Charlie continued to look at all of them, before informing them of his plans, he knew that they were now on board and the thing they were pulling off, would possibly gain them much notoriety and infamy. 

"From the moment that we are at the Warehouse Hanger, there are two teams, the ones who stay outside and keep an eye on the situation, but also wait for the goods to be delivered to them. And the others, that are casing the Hanger and bringing back the precious Loot."

Charlie looked at all of them once more, before taking another sip of his scotch whiskey, knowing that his nerves were going to act up again soon. He was not much of a drinker, but at this moment, he could not refuse it.

"Team One will be Nighttrid and Fox, they will be waiting in the Ford Vermillion Truck that Rosaleen would have picked out for the job, while others distract the guards long enough for Team Two to enter and case the Hanger, which will consist of myself and Rosaleen! In another car on Standby will be one of my boys, Gerry, he will have a Lincoln K Series Car a few blocks away, where we will meet at The Tower Lodge and discuss our take of the loot."

Charlie saw that everyone was agreeing with the plan and would see it through. He smirked, a little too happily, but this was his second Heist, and he wanted to make sure that this one, went off without a fucking hitch. He would be damned if THAT happened again. Only he was going to be sure that it was not to happen again.

"To our victory!"

A Few applause was heard, but Charlie was focused on another thing entirely, his mind going over the possible ramifications for what he was doing, and if his GodMother, Marie, would want a cut of the action that was about to go down...

Rosaleen was pleased to see that everyone seemed to be on board and the air cleared.  Now we could gear all our energy in getting the job done.  

Well, let’s see what we have so far.  She turned to Bentley.  What do you have so far she asked him?  Bentley grabs the map and blueprints that were provided to them.  He spread the airport map on the table.  He pointed to where Hanger #12 was located and the two-lane road that had access to it.  Unfortunately, the road was highly accessible and very visible.  He told them in order to use that entrance they had to obtain a vehicle that one of the vendors utilized or improvise, make one to resemble it.    He then pointed to a dirt road that would be used to enter from the southside area of the hanger, However, if it was raining and the dirt road was wet they might have a problem.  I don't think we would get bogged down but it wouldn't be a quick exit.

He folded the airport map and spread the hanger blueprints on the table.  He pointed to an isolated security door on the West side of the building.  This should be the entrance we used to gain access to the hanger.  The security station is on the Northside actually the front of the building.  The guard would never know we entered the hanger.

We sorted through the time cards and in my humble opinion the best time to make our move would be about 4 am.  There are only 4 men on the graveyard shift and 2 of the men take an hour break at that time.   That would give us an hour to silence the other 2 guards and move the merchandise.

We found a disgruntled old timer who’s a maintenance man there and fond of the bottle.  He doesn’t particularly care for the men working there and it was easy obtaining information from him.  The pineapples are definitely there.  He was unsure about anything resembling any paintings but would look around. He told us a lot of other boxes were stored there.

We still don’t have much on the Patrizia boys but know they hang out at a local bar here.

 I am wondering if we are going to deal with them for stealing in the first place or our concentration is on just recovering the merchandise.  He smiled Sure would be nice to find out what's in those other boxes.

Bentley turned and looked at  Charlie__Pavanno.  That’s what we go so far on our end.

Rosaleen thanked Bentley for the information then turned to Nighttrid and asked him if it would be OK if they met at his place later to acquire the vehicles they needed.

Everyone then turned their attention to Charlie.

Nighttrid was here just for Rosaleen and would go along with what ever the plan would end up being but after listing to Charlie, he was satisfied with the plan.

There was no room for error and the plan was just that, everything was thought about and every scenario was taken into account. This is how Night liked things and was even more eager to execute the plan. How everything was structured, it looked like Charlie was a pro at this and it looked like it wasn't his first rodeo.

 

Once Bentley was doing going over the details, Rosaleen asked Night if he was able to provide the transportation from his place.

This is exactly what Night was thinking but didn't want to interrupt encase the transportation was already arranged.

He offered Rosaleen what ever she needs is at her Disposal and told her that she will have a vehicle pick her up within the hr to bring her to A&N Corp.

After excusing him self, Night was on his way back to his office to arrange a vehicle for Rosaleen.

Charlie watched as Nighttrid left, knowing what his role was in the job, Charlie looked to everyone, his face and his eyes held nothing, almost as if he was forcing himself not to appear happy at this moment, even though he was. He was really happy, stepping forward with his eyes on the table, Charlie took a long sip of his Scotch Whiskey, finishing it. 

He knew that he was probably going to be a bit over the place, but it was the power of alcohol, as he found himself losing control of his movement a little, but not so much that people would notice. Striding over to the desk, Charlie truly looked at anyone one final time before he nodded in acceptance, finding that the plan was suitable and clear for the plan they had.

"It's good, very good, even, this is something that truly shows Rosaleen picked the right people and I have the right people to trust in this situation. If this goes well, then there will definitely be more jobs in it for you when the time is right, we will strike and make our mark, wait for Rosaleen's call and we will move"

Charlie looked to Rosaleen who nodded back to him, understanding her task, even if minor, was at the moment. Although she never seemed to notice the slight lingering eyes that Charlie held before they went back towards the crew, who nodded towards him and soon, Charlie had walked back over to the alcohol, knowing that the time was soon to come.

"Also Rosa, make sure that you pay Bentley well, he has been a most excellent assist in this matter and he should be rewarded..."

Charlie heard a small hum of appreciation, believing it to be Bentley, he finally poured himself another drink, before sipping it once more and enjoying the cold-burning sensation that washed over him, it was truly divine and he knew that he would need more of it. His eyes went back to Rosa and Bentley, the two were excellent, he knew that he had found two people that would help him in this job for a while, although he wondered...

Would they be interested in other scores? 

'Perhaps after this, I could discuss with them, perhaps...'

Charlie took another sip of his Scotch Whiskey and looked out the window, watching as people passed below, people who did not know what was even being planned at that very moment, it was a nice thrill that had gone through him...

With the go-ahead from Charlie__Pavanno, they started to finalize the plans.

Frank picked up Rosaleen, Bentley, and Fox.  They made their way to the airport to case the place out one more time.  She couldn’t believe how Bentley had once again used his British charm to convince the old timer, Rex, that she was a missionary trying to recover some stolen pineapples that were to be delivered to the orphanages. Rex was so disgusted that someone would steal the pineapples he was willing to do anything that would help them.   

He told them that Hangar #8 was vacant right down from Hanger #12, that we could use it.  He gave us the security codes to get in.  He asked us to let him know what times we would need it and he would make sure everything was cleared.   He also wanted to be there when we loaded up the pineapples to be a lookout for us.  The offer couldn’t have been to more worthwhile.  Now they didn’t have to worry about disguising the truck. The truck and men could park in that Hangar ready.

Bentley made like he was drunk and had lost his way and ended up in Hanger #12.  The .theHe men found his accent and how he had ended up there very funny.  He pulled his flask out of his pocket and offered the men a swig.  As the flask was being passed around Bentley scoped out the place.  Fox also made his way into the Hangar pretending to be looking for Bentley. Bentley pretended he was losing his balance and the men offered him a seat.    That gave both men time to have a good look. 

Fox apologized for Bentley’s drunkenness. Finally, the men showed them the way back to the main terminal.  We met them and headed back to the hotel to get all the details of the plans in order.

Night called Rosaleen and informed her that he had found a buyer for the goods, he told her that Assunto has agreed to buy the merchandise.
Night offered his warehouse for safekeeping of the merchandise, his establishment was very familiar with the drug trade and it won't be a problem until the sale.

Night told Rosaleen that he had a unique way of dealing and when the time comes he will let her know.

Rosaleen thanked Nighttrid for taking care of that so quickly for her.  Not worrying about where she would store the merchandise once recovered was a load off her shoulders.  Then the good news that he had secured a buyer was even better.  She looked forward to meeting Assunto and finalizing the purchase.  She prayed that plans to take it back would go well. 

She quickly called Vincent Cama back in La Vegas to let him know they were almost ready to take his merchandise back.  She informed him she hadn't located the paintings yet but hopefully, they were still in the warehouse with the pineapples.  If not she promise she would do her best to locate them.

Rosaleen woke up, took a quick shower and threw on her clothes.  She came out of her bedroom to find Bentley has fallen asleep at the conference table.   She walked over to the table and shook him. 

Bentley, Bentley wake up.   Did you finish the plans?

Bentley lifted his head and rubbed his face.  He reached on the table and handed her a paper.

The plan

Around 5 pm rush hour at the airport, we will get in touch with Rex and park the truck in the warehouse located in Hangar #8.  This way it will probably go unnoticed.

We will all meet at hangar #8 around 3 am except for Rosaleen, Charlie_Pavanno and her driver Frank.   They will stay parked in a safe area across from Hangar #12 where they will be able to see what’s going on. 

AT 4:05 am Nighttrid, Bentley, and Fox will enter the warehouse at Hangar #12 through the West entrance and take out the guards.

Hopefully, the 2 guards that are supposed to take their break will be gone.  Remember that the main security booth is located in the front on the Northside of the warehouse.

We want to try and just incapacitate them and get their bodies out of sight.  We don’t want any shots fired unless absolutely necessary.  Get their bodies out

Once the guards are taken care of Fox will notify Gerry, the truck driver to bring in the truck with the other guys.  The merchandise is stored on two pallets on the Eastside of the warehouse toward the front.  There are 2 forklifts located in the warehouse. It shouldn't take long at all to load them on the truck.

Once the truck is inside the warehouse and all is safe Charlie_Pavanno will come in while we are loading up to check out the other stuff that is stored there.  Maybe we might get a bonus.   Bentley and Night will watch the time and take care of the 2 returning guards if necessary.  Hopefully, we can be in and out before they return.

Nighttrid has secured us a warehouse at his business to store the merchandise and it will be driven there.

 The plan sounded well thought out.  She was expecting Charlie__Pavanno to meet with her later during the day and they will set everything in motion.

Charlie walked into the steakhouse, knowing that this was where he would be Rosaleen, he had, of course, dressed for the occasion, considering he was more than a commoner among these people. He soon noticed her in a booth at the far end of the steakhouse, he noted that she looked pretty well-dressed for such a trivial occasion. Looking him over were plenty of waiters and waitresses that nodded to him in respect, to which Charlie had greeted them with a smile, not wanting to offend them in any way possible.

He now stood at the booth that held Rosa, who looked at him with a blank face, almost as if she was expecting this, which she should of, considering that he was the one to arrange this, wanting any final meetings to be done and over with, so they could go ahead with the plan. Charlie soon sat down and looked to Rosa with a smirk, knowing that she was nervous about the heist and about possibly being here for the occasion.

"The Plan is ready? Everything is okay? Nothing else needs to be arranged?"

Charlie listed question after question, making sure that everything was arranged and all right. He noticed that Rosa had a smirk on her face, soon nodding that everything was arranged. Charlie took a sip of water, knowing that he needed it more than ever. He was not going to allow this business to fall under, he watched as Rosa continued to keep her face blank like everything was calm and on track.

"Then let us get started, tomorrow, we get back the goods and everything that was stolen from the client."

Charlie soon nodded towards Rosa, taking another sip of his water, while he continued to watch Rosa from over the rim of the glass. He soon stood up with a sigh, walking out of the steakhouse, knowing that he had other business to prepare for, but also he had to prepare for this damn heist. Knowing that it would put some heat on The Underworld, and he had to make sure that it went off smoothly.
