Giovanni pulled his Bugatti Veyron over to the side in front of the building that housed Luciano Santapaola's penthouse. He got out of the car and put his Gucci sunglasses over his eyes to shield them from the sun. He entered the building and ignoring the greeting of the doorman and the receptionist, he pressed the up button on the elevator. When the elevator beeped, Giovanni stepped in and pressed the large P button. The doors closed and the elevator jerked to life. After a few moments, the elevator stopped and the doors slid open. Giovanni was now on the final floor, and he was facing the only door on the floor. He walked out of the elevator, and approached the door, and he knocked.

Luciano was working out when the control panel to the penthouse let him known there was a visitor at the door. He pressed the view button to show that it was Giovanni, that caught him off guard a bit and he hurried as he pulled on his white tee shirt and padded across the gym to the landing. He made his way down the spiral staircase that led him into the second floor and then grabbed a towel to wipe his face and neck off with as he made his way down another staircase to get to the main floor. He made his way to the foyer and opened the door, "Giovanni, this is certainly a surprise..Come in, please." He said as he held open the door and stepped aside to allow him entrance.

Giovanni smiled and entered the penthouse, with a quick "Grazie Luciano." He looked around the place, obviously impressed. "It's a nice house." but then Giovanni's face became more serious "Luciano, I need a straight anwser from you. Are you or are you not involved with a Sicilian Zip named Plinio Caggliano?"
*Just making Plinio up, so if there is anything wrong, let me know and I'll edit my post.

He looked confused as he shut the door, he went over in his head but the name didn't ring a bell. "Caggliano, it sounds familiar." He said as he rolled the towel and put it around his neck. "Should I be familiar with him?" He asked as he moved to the control panel on the wall and had the blinds open in the main sitting room area on the floor they were on. "Can I offer you a drink?"He asked as he moved further into the house and into the main sitting room where there was a full size and well stocked bar with stools and a pool table.

Giovanni shook his head no at the offer of a drink, and then he continued to talk "Luc, Plinio Caggliano came to me the other day and he told me you are recieving Kickbacks from the Montagnas. I need you to tell me the truth Luc, IS THIS TRUE?"
*Gio is a tad paranoid right now, so I hope Luc doesn't take it personal.

"I told you that I pledged myself to you and your family..I would never betray you." He told him with a tight, serious expression. He moved around the other side of the bar and added vodka and ice to a glass with some mango juice. He took a sip of it and looked over to where Giovanni was standing.

"I told you that I pledged myself to you and your family..I would never betray you." Giovanni nodded and then sighed "Forgive me Luciano. I had to be sure. So Plinio is lying to me. It appears you made some dangerous enemies. The Caggiano Clan from Sicily are one of the most dangerous Clans in Sicily. Of course besides the DiLeonardo clan. I know not of the Santapaolas in Sicily, but what do you know of the Caggianos?"

"I know that they were rivals against the Corleonesi family, the family that I originally worked for as did my father. In Sicily it was different, I made a name for the Santapaola's here since my father couldn't. He was in prison for most of the time, dead for the time after that. I've done business against the Caggianos before, anything they have against me is most likely from then." He mentioned

Giovanni frowned "Luciano" he began "Luciano Santapaola. Do you not know what this means? This means the Caggianos are planting themselves here in New York. Operation Old Bridge by the FBI failed to nab many of the Caggainos and their men. Now the Caggianos are coming here, to interupt my businesses. Interupt my life. Now they might be targeting you. I heard it from the horses mouth itself, the seventy-nine year old Don Marcello Caggiano. He told me he would greatly reward me if I remove 'The stone from my shoe.' Though Marcello could be all talk..." and Giovanni's voice trailed off.

"He took my father out inside of a maximum security prison, you never know if its just talk...I brought this upon the family and i'm gonna fix it. He won't make waves for you or interfere in your business." He said as he chugged the drink and then filled the glass with vodka. "To speak freely, I didn't believe anything would follow me from Sicily, It was so long ago." He added before taking a few gulps of the vodka.

Giovanni listened and then nodding, replied sternly "Luc listen to me. You have the might of the DiLeonardo family backing you. If we work together, the Cagglianos are going to wish they stayed in Sicily."
*Sorry it's so short

"But for now that is only talk, there is nothing keeping me from storming over there and killing Marcelo Cagglianos. After what he's done to my family, I have no reason to involve our family in my situation." He informed Giovanni as he finished the rest of his drink.
