Chris was making good money and his boss and she was watching him like a hawk. Left to his own devices Chris was all about making money and it was rolling in.  Chris knew preferred to make money with his friends and when he have friends involved that he made more money.    Chris was friends with Charlie, Frank, Meyers and Benny and they believed that making money was for everyone no need to exclude anyone for any reason.   The idea is that if you could make a steady dime compared to a buck with a bullet you lose in the long run.  The big picture was making every penny you could and like Meyers Chris thought about the dollars and you needed 100 pennies to make a buck.  Chris had his hands in everything import liquor, drugs, and the sales of those products.  Unions and loans, gambling and money luandring, protection and extortion and legitimate businesses.  He had taxi cabs, trucks, nightclubs, a casino, and department stores, pharmacies and five and dime stores. Hotels, apartments and estates; he had friends that were in the Port Authorities in Seattle and connection in congress and the senate to include local cops and judges.  He was into the movie industry and construction.   He had pull with Quebec Canada political machine and they allowed him to transport his goods down into Detroit and from there he distributed his products to Chicago, St. Louis and New Orleans.  

Chris was proud of his accomplishments and connections but he had eyes on him.  Joe the Boss Masseria and Salvatore Maranzano both very powerful and both wanting Charlie on their team.  Both wanted Charlie to give up his connections and take control of his rackets and those of Charlie friends.  There was going to be a battle but Chris knew that when the mob goes to war collecting their money was hard, it attracted more eyes from law enforcement and then new laws from CapitalHill, eyes that they didn’t want or need to be exact.  Chris didn't want a war and having uncontrolled law enforcement watching his operations would cut into his pockets and of those that worked from him.  He didn’t know how long his cash flow could be dried up for but he knew that everyone would suffer from it.  This would cause problems for several families and earners across the country.  Charlie was currently with Rothstien but he was being pulled as he also formed a partnership with Masseria which cause Chris to become a member of Masseria.  Chris dislike for Joe was deep.  Most people dislike was because Joe would eat all his food then start eating off their plate.  When it came to food and money he did the same thing, it was always more with Joe he always wanted more and when he had to share it was always less.  Joe bragged about being shot at 18 times and survived them all without a scratch.  Benny wanted to see if he could survive 19 and wanted to use the Chicago typewriter on Joe the Boss.  Meyers wanted to make the hit look like an inside job.  Rothstein was against it and Charlie thought it would be better if Maranzano and Masseria killed each other and they killed the survivor.  Frank wanted them to get it over and done with and they make peace with the winner.

Chris was spending to much time in Detroit with Sabrina.  It was in Detroit when he was met by Joe the boss while getting ready to eat dinner.  Chris was going to catch a train to Atlantic City to meet Charlie and Rothstein because Nucky Thompson wanted to talk quality booze and not that bathtub gin Legs Diamond was pushing or the poison Dutch was bringing up from the southern states.  Charlie wanted to make this happen on his own but Meyers didn't want to further anger Rothstein.  Chris had a few dealing with Rothstein as he sold Rothstein hundreds of cases of Canadian whiskey and Cuban rum.  Joe was Joe, he walked in and sat down with a smile asking where was his plate.  Chris was surprised as he saw that his men were busy watching Joe’s men they were outnumbered three to one.  Chris gave a smirk and called for an extra plate of food but before he could get the waitress over Joe had reached over and took Chris plate and started loading it up and eating.  Chris watched Joe stuff his mouth and talk as he chewed.  Chris was starting to feel annoyed and his stomach was turning from watching Goofy eat his food.  The second plate had arrived but by this time Joe had ruined Chris appetite.
