Light shined in from Johnnys window as Johnny layed motionless sleeping in his king size bed of his penthouse apaprtment. As the sun rose the light shown across his face waking him. He yawned and stretched sitting up on his elbow grabbing a cigarette and his matches. He places the cigarette between his lips and strikes a match inhaling deeply as it lit. He rubs his eyes and continues to smoke. Today was a day full of business and more business. Johnny had to go down and check on the Boom Boom Room operations and then catch a flight to Chicago where his mentor MustachePete had became a CL. Johnny finishes his cigarette and gets up taking a shower and getting dressed in his best tailored suit. He grabbed a few eggs and toast for breakfast then headed out the door.

He made it to The Boom Boom Room and checked the papers and numbers then hailed a cab to the airport. Once on the plane he relaxed. He made small talk with the flight attendents flirting with the pretty ladies as usual. It was a fairly quick 2 hour flight from New York to Chicago.

When he landed he walked out to the cold windy streets of Chicago think "Must Be Why This Place Is Called The Windy City." He lit a cigarette and walked the streets eyeing the locals and seeing a few sites. After his city tour had been complete he made his way to a local bar and stepped inside. It wasnt great but not too bad. He sat at the bar and ordered a beer.

"Say...Im looking for MustachePete...you seen him?"

The barkeep looked a bit suspicious of the questioning before motioning towards the back room. About that time Pete had exited the back room and noticed Johnny. A small smirk comes across both faces as Johnny and Pete give a handshake. Pete leads Johnny into a back room for a chat. Pete tells Johnny about life in Chicago and says its been good but hes had a small issue with a crew trying to move in on his business at the docks. Johnny tells Pete he can make sure they get the message that Pete runs the dock business. Pete thanks him and Johnny finishes his beer and shakes Petes hand then leaves.

Johnny leaves the bar and takes a walk down to the docks to watch the activity. He sees a few lowlevel guys running drug deals but nothing too major until he notices a car pull up. This car wasnt a normal drug buying car this was a fancy new car. This was the car of a bigshot. Johnny watches as a well dressed man vets out and speaks with the thugs then gets back in and the car drives away. Johnny hails a cab and orders the driver to follow the car. The car stops at a spot on the South Side. Johnny gets out and as he turns to follow the man he realizes it to be Anthony Rizzano a family leader from out east. Anthony was ran out of New York years back and had criminal ties to Chicago. Johnny stopped short and decided he may need some help to deal with Anthony if he was making a move to take over Chicago.
