After the Rizzoni Family settled paying tribute to the Luciano Family and became a glorified crew under the Luciano Family they seemed unstoppable, but rivals from the past and the present are joining together to stop their winning streak.
In an office building in Detroit the new boss of the remaining members of the Carbone Family was Peter “Machine Gun” Mancini, a ruthless capo who killed his competition to takeover the Family; the other man was Chicago boss Michael Rangano, both were here because both had been screwed by Luciano Family. Mancini was not only the likely successor after Sal Carbone died but was also a close friend of Sal and has hated the Luciano Family since they killed his friend. Rangano was furious at Fabrizio because his Family gave permission to Anthony Molinari to create his own Family in Los Angeles, but the family Molinari was building was with men from Chicago and was sent out to help Tony run LA, which was regarded as Rangano territory.
“Don Rangano, the Luciano Family has ruined our families’ reputations and now they think they can push us around! I think its time we show The Commission that we’re more powerful together than we are separate. I say we kill Fabrizio and his allies and we can easily takeover everything.”
Rangano was eating (go figure) his lasagna from the night before but he stopped when he heard Mancini’s plan, and for Rangano to stop eating that shows how surprised he was. “I knew you Detroit guys were crazy but that’s insane!” Rangano got up to get a glass of wine, he offered Mancini a glass but Mancini wasn’t a big drinker so he declined. “If I was to join you Peter, Fabrizio is not only out of the country with his Family on a vacation, but he’s always surrounded by guards.”
Mancini wasn’t smart but he knew how to fight, “Alright, if we can’t kill him we’ll make him look weak. While he’s out of the country we start weakening his allies.”
Don Rangano thought if anyone could make this plan work, a man from Detroit who’s known for his brutal tactics could do it.
“What do you need from Chicago?”
When Mancini heard that he knew he had gained his first ally. “Detroit is a mess, my Family needs men and money which Chicago has plenty of. If you give me that, I can help you with your problem.”
Don Rangano was confused because for years he was the voice of reason on the Commission so he didn’t have any problems.
“What problem would that be and how could you help?”
Mancini got up and lit a cigarette as he exhaled the smoke he looked like some kind of demon with an evil idea, “I’m gonna take apart Tony Molinari’s Family, but I need to know everything about him.”
