After hearing the news in while he was in Chicago about what happened back in Detroit while he was away and immediately heading to Detroit to see what the family needed Vincent Ligambi had finally reached the headquarters.

As I drove up, I saw nothing but cops and lights. They were all over the scene, it's almost like this place was actually a crime scene "how Vincent though to himself, Astra would have this under the table had anything happened here." I knew I needed to get in touch with some of my guys till in the city to see what they knew about what was going on here.

I called up on of my top men Dean asked him what he had heard, he filled me in on what little he knew. Apparently as one of the Philly Godfather bit a bullet Astra called in some of his more trusted me into the headquarters in case anyone had plans to do the same to him. Apparently as the first crew was showing up they noticed two men weren't with them Ricky Michaels and Julian Keef, as they went inside the headquarters they noticed Astra laid in the center of the living room in a pool of his own blood. They quickly called all the mobsters in the family, to report back to the building. Just as they got off the phone, the police charged the building and arrested the crew inside.

So Vincent had a pretty good idea of what happened Ricky and Julian seemed to be the ones who killed Astra when they were supposed to protect him and framed the rest of their sub crew. Vincent had no idea where to start looking for them, and he knew he couldn't even go visit the crew that was arrested because he was on the run himself and couldn't risk being spotted by any policemen he knew his face was still posted around the city along with the other inmates he escaped with. Vincent really wanted to find these men and kill them for betraying the man who made sure he was free when he was arrested.

Vincent sent his man Dean to meet with one of the inmates locked up and to report back what he could find out about where the two killers could have went after they disappeared. Vincent then set out to find what remained of the family, and hopefully where they were holed up within the city,"Were they even on 12th Street anymore, they could be anywhere by this point!".

Vincents man Dean finally returned his call, "Hey boss sorry it took so long, there were some complications. I'll come meet with you now and explain.", Vincent though to himself what the hell could've went wrong, Dean was clean there was no way he had heat on him. Oh well I guess we'll see when he gets here.

As Dean arrived Vincent noticed a very rushed and paniced vibe from him, "Well what happened man?" Vincent asked. "Boss they were defiantly guilty, but apparently Ricky ratted Julian out to get free. That's not all, apparently some big wig in Delaware City is calling the shots and they have Ricky going after Joe Ligambi." Vincent stood up, "Joe?!" he yelled. "Alright, I want that Julian fucker shank. I don't care the cost, he will not see another sun rise do you hear me?" Dean stood and immediately answered, "Yes sir, anything else?" "I want whaterver information you have on Ricky, I want to put that fuck in the ground myself. No one is going to mess with my family with me around." Dean stood up and quickly left the room to figure out what he could find out.

Vincent in a panic sprinted across the room and to the phone, picks it up and immediately dials. *Ring* *Ring*, he hears an answer. "Uncle Joe? You're in danger I need to talk with you asap." 

Sitting in his office skimming over some receipts from the familys numbers racket, Uncle Joe received a knock on the door from his brother Philip. Come in Uncle Joe said. 

Philip entered his office muttering about their nephew, Vincent. Philip went on to explain that he was on the phone and needed to talk with Joe and that it sounded important.

Uncle Joe made his way to the phone. His nephew was more like a son to him. When their sister passed away, Uncle Joe and Philip looked after Vincent. He was bred into the life. Picking up the phone Uncle Joe had no idea what could be so important.

Vincent could hear his uncles Philly and Joe talking, then he heard Joe say, "Hello Vincent?"

"Uncle Joe! Listen there's a guy named Ricky Michaels ever heard of him?"

Joe laughs a little bit, "No Vincent I haven't heard of every Tom, Dick, and Ricky. Why what's up?"

Vincent rolls his eyes a bit, then speaks "Listen Uncle Joe, I have it on high accord that he is the one who killed Don Astra when Uncle Phillip sent those guys over to protect him. I'm already handling the other guy but this one I have reason to believe he's after you right now. You need to seek hiding and I'll call you when it's done."

Joe continues to chuckle a bit, "Listen Vincent I get it you're young, but in this line of work one man wanting me dead isn't reason to pack up and go hide for a week. I'll tell you what I'll pick up a little bigger security detail than normal and have them on high alert best I can do for ya."

Vincent groans, "Alright Uncle Joe you know best, I'll let you know when the problem is solved."

Vincent hangs up the phone, then sets out to see what his guy Dean has found, just as he opens his hideout apartment door he sees Dean in the hallway. He runs up to him and checks for a pulse, there's nothing then he sees his chest is covered with blood. He's clearly dead, Vincent quickly goes back in the room grabs his pistol and begins to make his way down the fire escape. Maybe Uncle Joe isn't the target, maybe I am he thought to himself. 
As he makes it to the ground level he sees his car, but also sees a couple strange men hanging around it. They're dressed very nicely and seem to be asking a lot of questions. Ahh hell it's the feds! They're onto me, Vincent crouches behind a dumpster in an hour and waits for the men to leave... and waits.. and waits...

Vincent who was hiding behind the dumpster from what looked like the feds started to look around for a way out. Bingo, there was a storm drain it was like someone was looking out for him from up above. He though to himself, that is a last resort though I know there is actual shit down there! 

Then out of nowhere a big swat truck pulls up infront of the building and multiple squad cars, police were storming the area.. Fuck man I'm going to have to go down there aren't I, Vincent though to himself. So he started to slowly move over to the drain, and quietly pry the lid off of it. 

He continued to struggle until he finally got it. As he started to descend down the hole he noticed police slowly making their way towards he, he covered the hole and started to climb down the ladder.

As he made it to the bottom, and move out of the hole. He started to slowly make his way down the tunnel, when he looked back and saw what looked like someone shining a flashlight down the hole. Vincent then began to run, he knew he had to get the hell out of there. Even more so, he knew when he came out of the hole he was going to need to move fast and figure out where he was.

Vincent ran for about 20-25 minutes, before coming upon another ladder out of the sewers. "Finally" he thought to himself and begin to climb up the ladder back into the world.

Vincent comes out of the hole near a warehouse the family owns so he makes his way there as soon as he can. Once he makes it inside he makes a call to one of his guys Mikey Sanicola, "Hey man you hear anything about where this Ricky guy is? I'm at the Warehouse over on 13th and Steedmore."

"Hey boss yeah I heard he's staying at some safehouse near there actually. 1463 17th Street, boss I hear he's got a couple guys with him."
 

"Alright, I want you to send three cars here to me. And tell them to bring me a new fucking suit."

"Alright boss where on it."

25 minutes later as Vincent sat in the warehouse the cars start pulling up, "Hey boss we got your suit."

"Good you all wait outside and make sure my pistol is cleaned and loaded."

The men head outside while Vincent changes into the new suit "Ahh fuck I still smell like shit."

Vincent makes his way outside and into his car, "Alright let's go." he says as one of his men hands him his gun.

The cars pull up to the spot and are instantly shot at from inside the house.

"Boss we gotta get you out of here!" One man yells, "I got four shooters, one rooftop." Another yells.

"You three flank the left side! You four go right up the middle! Mikey you're with me, we're going right!"

All the men move out, one of Vincents men killed two of the shooters on the bottom floor.

Vincent barges in the house and sees Ricky shooting outside he turns and fires at them. Vincent jumps behind cover, "It's over motherfucker! You killed Astra now I'm going to kill you!"

"Come on Vinny boy, you know you're ole Uncle Joe wouldn't let you be here if he knew!" Just as he says that his roof top shooting falls from the roof dead. "Surround the house men!"

"Put the gun down Ricky and we won't shoot you." Ricky stops, " Alright.. alright. Don't shoot!"

Ricky puts the gun down and kicks it towards Vincent. "Grab him!" Vincent yells.

The men run at him from all angles grabbing him and putting him on the ground tying him up.

"Get him in the car and let's get out of here!" 

All the mobsters run out of the house with civilians on looking, they bug out back to the warehouse they were at before.

Once back at the warehouse, they tied him to a chair. Vincent walks up to the man, " Ricky.. tsk tsk. You should've went down in a blaze of glory because now I'm going to kill you nice and slow.. Well I'm not I've got people for that now."

Vincent laughs at he stabs a large knife into his knee.

"AHHH Fuck you Ligambi! I should've killed your whole family instead of going after Astra! Now you fuckers are running the entire district!"

Vincent motions his torturers over, "Listen Ricky. I want you to have a real nice time here with my boys here. They're gonna treat you real nice."

Vincent moves over to his men, "When he's dead I want you to put him on his mothers door step."

The men nod, Vincent leaves the warehouse and heads back to the HQ.

Vincent was waiting outside and hear the screams of Ricky, he could do nothing but smile at the though that they were getting revenge for their late boss Don Astra. As Vincent stood outside smoking he saw his Uncle Philly leaving the warehouse, " Hey Uncle Philly see you got your hands dirty, that doesn't happen often!" Vincent said with a smile. 

"Well I'd love to hangout and chat but the issue of the heat is still pressing in my mind and I've got to go grease a few palms around the city and try to clean up my name."

Vincent smiled and nodded his head as he got into his car to go meet with a agent that the family has had quite a few dealing with.
