The Gaggi brothers were born in New Jersey. Their father, Vinny Gaggi was a very wealthy man, he owned a Recycling company in the city. He was not a mobster, however the NY mafia did work with him and they were always coming to make collections. The Gaggi bros were always getting in trouble. Skipping school, getting caught with drugs, and fighting, a lot of fighting. By fifth grade they were scam artist, hustling people on the block for fake jewlery and baseball cards and by 7th grade they were slinging coke in the school bathroom. By age 12 the boys had spent a total of 9 months in jail. One day, the boys were out selling when they were supposed to be at school, and decided to take a couple girls back to their house. When they got there however they saw several cars parked out front. They recognized the cars, they were the italians in black suits who showed up every month to collect money from their dad. They peeked inside the window to see their father on the ground being punched and kicked over and over again and one man was hitting him with a bat. Blood covered the floor. The girls ran off screaming and tears filled the boys's eyes. One man then pulled a gun out of there coats and pointed it at their fathers head and pulled the trigger. Remo turned red with anger and ran towards the front door after the men. Dom grabbed him and through him to the ground.
"What the hell do you think your doing!?!? We can't go in there!!!!!!!!!!! We have to go!!!" Remo didn't listen, he ran the rest of the way to the front door. Dom was around the corner so Remo thought that he had bailed on him. Remo was almost in the door when it opened, and the man looked like he knew Remo was out there and had heard him. The man pointed his gun at Remo, when a brick flew and hit him in the side of the head knocking him out. Remo looked to see Dom standing to his left. Remo picked up the mans gun and started heading inside. Dom ran and tackled him and dragged him to the mans car and started it. Two more men came running out and shooting at the car, the brothers ducked and dodged bullets as the pulled out and drove off. Remo got shot in the arm but other than that they were fine. Dom had no idea what direction he was going but he drove and drove until the car died. They boys didn't say one word to eachother. They walked a good 10 miles to the train tracks and waited. When the train came they ran and jumped into a car, barely making it. They survived in the cart for 17 days off of food that Dom had stopped and bought on the way, knowing they would be needing it. The boys still never exchanged words. They would occasionally climb on top of the train and feel the breeze on their face. On the 17th day Dom just decided that they had gone far enough. He got up, ran, and dove off of the moving train rolling a good twenty five feet. His brother was soon to follow. They walked for a while and finally came into a city, Detriot. They slept in a hotel the first five nights but soon ran out of drug money and started living on the streets as beggars. They still hustled occasionally when they could get their hands on goods. One day they went into the coffe shop to get their usual loaf of bread. A man was sitting at the table in a leather jacket sipping coffee. He had his wallet sitting out on the table. On their way out Remo snatched the wallet and tried to run but the man was quick to grab him.
"Haha, a little hustler are you? Let me tell you what." The man pulled out an envelope and handed it to Remo. "You run this to 33rd and 12th and come back to me, theres $100 with your name on it." They were 14 at the time and ever since then the boys worked for this man, Recro. They were soon making drug runs for and doing any side jobs he needed, car wash, sandwich made, whatever. He eventually gave them guns and promoted them to the streets as goombas, working along side the higher ups. Eventually they made their way to the top and got where they are today. Remo remembers when they first got to Detriot, Dom grabbed him, pulled him close, and said: "We will have revenge on those bastards who killed our father. Don't you ever think for one minute I will let them get away with that." Remo's had been working for a long time to get revenge on these men and finally tracked them down...... |
