After the “Family” doctor removed the bullets out of Giovanni’s body, Giovanni was hell bent on finding out who tried to kill him and his brother. While he took the time to recover, Don Greco sent his top enforcer Joseph “Jo Jo” Marcelli to talk with the hit man that had fell from the car and see if he could find out who ordered the hit. A week passed and finally, after hours and hours of brutally interrogating the hit man, the hit man was finally beginning to break. Jo Jo picked up the hit man and hung him on a meat hook and began hitting him with a baseball bat.”WHO ORDERED IT!!!!?????” Jo Jo screamed at the top of his lungs. Finally the hit man gave in. It turned out it wasn’t another one of the crime families that wanted the Greco brothers dead, it was a Mexican Drug Cartel.
Down south there was tons of competition and the Garcia Cartel wanted to expand it’s operation into another city, specifically a northern one. Luis Garcia, the head of the Garcia Cartel, had his eyes set on Chicago. He knew if he got rid of Giovanni and Enzo he could move into Chicago with little resistance. After Jo Jo finished getting all the info he could out of the hit man his cell phone rang. He headed for the door and swung it open. In walked a wounded Don Greco supporting himself with a cane, followed by his brother Enzo. As Giovanni reached the hit man, he calmly said, “So the Garcia Cartel wants to move up here eh?” The hit man was in so much pain he could hardly speak, Giovanni told him to just nod his head yes if it was true. The hit man used all his strength to nod his head yes.
Once Giovanni got this information he smiled and pat the hit man on the cheek. He then pulled out his pistol, pointed it at the mans head, and fired twice. As he holstered his pistol he turned to his brother, “Enzo..” he said while pulling his brother to the side to talk to him privately, “get the word out on the street, the Cartel wouldn’t take a shot at us unless they already had a point man here so they could move in on our rackets quickly.” Giovanni continued, “I want you to work with Jo Jo on this.” Enzo looked at his brother and began to sweat, “Does this mean what I think it means?” Giovanni put his hand on Enzo’s shoulder, “Si mio fratello ….. we’re going to war.”
