Miniseries – Episode 9

Fabrizio and JR were sitting in an old warehouse in New York; JR was told they were meeting someone that can end this war once and for all.

 

“Pop this war has been going on for a few months you’re telling me one man will make it stop?”

 

Fabrizio just nodded and said nothing. A car slowly pulled up to the warehouse and Fabrizio waved his two bodyguards to open the gates to let the car in, as the car pulled in the man getting out of the car was Mario Rizzoni. After the three men embraced each other they sat down at a small table in the warehouse to talk business.

 

“Fabrizio I want this war to be over its costing my Family money and men everyday and John doesn’t seem to care. I wanna make a deal with you.”

 

Fabrizio looked at JR and looked back at Mario, “I respect you Mario especially when you told me about the men John sent to kill me, what is your deal?”

 

Mario took a deep breath before he spoke, “If I lure John into a trap to lure him out into the open your men can kill him, but in return I would want to takeover what’s left of the Rizzoni Family.”

 

Fabrizio told Mario that he will accept that deal but, if he allows Mario to take over the remnants of the Rizzoni Family, he must pay tribute to the Luciano Family and if Fabrizio needs men he can get them from Mario. Mario knew he had no choice but to accept the deal.

 

 

That night Mario told John that Fabrizio wanted to talk peace and to meet Sollozzo’s a prominent restaurant in the Bronx. At first John was skeptical about going to New York City but nonetheless he anyway because he trusted Mario.

 

 

As John arrived in the restaurant he was seated at a table in the near a window in the dinning room. John had been waiting almost an hour for Mario to show up, finally the manager of the restaurant said John had a phone call that he could take at the front desk. John thought it might be Mario explaining why he was late and where Fabrizio was.

 

As John got to the front desk he answered the phone hearing a mans voice, “John Rizzoni?”

 

 John now knew it wasn’t Mario calling. “Who is this?”

 

The man on the phone hung up and as John turned away from the phone he looked out the window he saw three men with machine guns and before he could act they opened fire, killing Don John Rizzoni…

 

Thus the end of the Luciano/Rizzoni war.
