"Family thing, Metal Head, as for the price of it... let me make a call."
Joey went to the nearest phone and dialed in a number he didn't allow the others to see. The phone rang a few times before being picked up.
Hey, Carmine, it's the Castanzano family, we're calling in a favor.... yeah, yeah, didn't you read the news? The guy's dead, his family's dead, he's in the ground, and the worms are eating what's left of his eyes... I got out, you moron, you think I'd be calling if I was still in there? Carmine, just shut the hell up, I've got about a ton and a half of gold bars I need moved.... No, I didn't shift 'em myself, I don't do the heavy lifting, you know that...what'll you give me for 'em? Uh-huh...uh-huh...really? You can get them out that fast? You've expanded a bit since I spoke to you last haven't you?.... Oh, you took his cover business, how're the docks now? Oh, you own them now, great, that means alot.
He turned to face the other villains.
Well, the good news is we're set for life in about a day and a half, Carmine owns the docks now, so he can move almost anything past customs without any trouble, and he's got a client that's been looking to get his hands on some gold. Not sure exactly why, but I'm not going to ask. He says the guy's willing to pay for half the bars, at about $10 million.
"The bad news is that there's been rumors on the underground side of things and now we've got both heroes and some of the other old families are a bit miffed that you took a truck from one of their banks. And these guys don't like being fucked with.I'd try to make peace with them, but we kinda got crushed a few years back. To add onto that, He wants us to drive out there with the gold either tomorrow or next week at the same time, past that, he can't guarantee we'll get paid.
"And did I mention he's got a boss breathing down his neck right now, telling him to allow their guns onto his property? He said there's four families you fucked over with that stunt, so I'm thinking we've got at the least 80 guns looking for us, probably closer to 200, not to mention the heroes on the tv, plus that fatass we ran into at the stadium."
