Next, the party's mission was to seize a crate of guns from an Irish speakeasy in Middletown. Several crowbar blows and gun-in-the-mouth threats later, this too was accomplished.

			Moving along to task #3, the party staked out a townhouse filled with Russian gunmen, built whiskey-bottle Molotov cocktails, and assaulted the structure from the fore and rear. Shitty stayed outside and hunted Russians with a high-power hunting rifle, while the rest of the team rushed inside and engaged the enemy. In the end, while Luigi was badly wounded, the Russians were defeated.

			However, the police were in hot pursuit by the time the team was loaded up in the boss' Cadillac (now damaged by a bit of reckless driving and Luigi's blood), and only a well placed shot through the front of a pursuing police car stopped the pursuit.

			Documents seized at the Russian safe house revealed the group was planning assaults on Arno's lake house and many other important Vincelli targets. The team saved the day... this time.

	For the last seven years, including the year since Vincenzo's murder, you have worked as a small team of “fixers”, who are sent alternately to repair relationships, break kneecaps, collect payments, sabotage rivals, and (infrequently) gun down enemies. The Vincellis have treated you fairly and paid you well throughout.

	The [[Vincelli Group]] is one such syndicate.

In the early 1920s, as criminal gangs began demanding obedience (and “protection” money) from the family, Vincenzo decided to strike back. He liquidated some of the company assets and used the cash to hire bodyguards and enforcers, buy arms, and take over rival businesses.		The [[Vincelli Group]] is one such syndicate.
