I sat in my office, going over different documents and letters i've received informing me that there would be a workers from the factory are going on strike. Fucking idiots don't understand what I'm doing for this dammed city. All while my heads sitting on a chopping for Luca Changretta to cut it off when he has the chance.
And all this time he doesn't know i've been in bed with his sister.
It's a shame really that the woman of the family is one who runs things and seems to be the only one with a brain. For all that Nina is, or chooses to show for that matter.. She's remarkable.
As I continued with finishing my work the doors to office busted open and Finn came running in
"TOMMY! It's Arthur! Two of Luca's guys got into the factory,"
I quickly sprung out of my chair grabbing my coat and hat and gun hostler off the coat rack on my way out the door with Finn. I told him to keep watch of the office for Lizzie while I was away then to meet me when he was done and I hurried a few blocks to the factory
When I arrived I was met inside the office by Arthur, Polly, and Linda. Arthur was beat up pretty badly
"What happened?" I threw my arms up in disbelief for a minute before lighting a cigarette to calm my nerves. Handing one to Arthur which he took happily
"I found some of your guys spilling paint everywhere, trying to cause a fire or something. I scared them off but two of Luca's fucking wops got in through the back or something and started shooting." Arthur said shamefully with his head down, cigarette between his lips and a bottle of whiskey in hand
"Are those men still alive."
I asked plainly and Arthur just shook his head at me, I bit my bottom lip in angrily before leaning my head back, releasing a sigh of relief
"Alright, take the bodies to Charlie. Have him get rid of them," I said to Arthur before going to sit down at my desk, letting out a desperate groan once my arse hit the leather
"So.. What's going on with you and other Changretta," Arthur asked
"Nothing you need to concern yourself with at the moment, brother."
Just as I finished talking and Arthur was going to say something else, Finn came running in and I just put my hand up to him
"Arthur's alright, the bastards who got in are no longer with us," I said simply and Arthur chuckled,
"How the fuck did they get in, in the first fucking place?" Finn asked looking pale in the face
