LeonMalikov had been peddling heroin at a steady rate in recent days. He had built enough money to employ a hijacking team to rob a trucking company, or the contents of the truck, which belonged to a rival family and their partners. 

There were many things to be done and the sight of his enemies struggling to get resources was a delightful idea to Leon. 

He loaded his weaponry and rope into a small truck, that had been modified to move at a faster pace, then picked up the phone and got in touch with his connections down south. 

"How's it going? It's an old friend from Philly. We got a little side action we need some assistance with. Your take is 30% if you move quickly," Leon said as he hung up the phone.

Leon felt that this job needed some 'out-of-towners' that wouldn't get caught or carried away. They had did good for him before, doing small jobs here and there and coming through real lovely for the family. 

He arranged for their travel, by car, to the hotels that were to accommodate the trained hijackers. He sent two goombas to deliver the equipment they were going use on the job and Leon would pick them up himself, in the modified truck, and head to the rendezvous point to meet the cargo shipment they were going to hijack.

Leon drove to the hotel and allowed his southern connections to get in the modified truck. He passed them some coffee and a little cocaine to help them with wakefulness during the job. Leon needed them alert and aware of everything going on around them.

On their way out the of the city, Leon gets word that a few other mobsters were en route to the same job. This pleased Leon. So he watched the roads as he drove, looking out for allies that would provide support in this hijacking.
