cops Greg had in his pocket, they would be fine. “The good thing is that the whore lifted the key to Vasily’s box so one will be opened and closed easily.”
“Are they going to imitate Vasily?”
“As far as I know, yes. We will know more soon.”
Tony nodded and looked out the window once more. He then looked to Gregorio and asked, “Perhaps I should meet with them alone so you won’t be in the crosshairs. The last thing we need is for the cops to see that the power has shifted inside of our Organization.”
“We both know they will know that soon anyway. They have far too many fucking snitches around and in our home. That is another thing Giovanni let fly, which pisses me off completely.”
“How do you plan on flushing them out?”
“Set a trap. We will play diversion.” It was where they would send out misinformation to different sources and see where the cops showed up. It was really that simple. “We will dangle bait in from of the fucking Feds and cops and see what pans out.”
“Reports from the heads are all saying the same thing. They are saying the Irish are siding with us along the coast.”
“They are proving to be a good alliance. It’s my hope that after we have dealt with the Russians, we will be able to broker some sort of truce. If not…” He lifted his shoulder slightly and smiled when he looked to his friend. “If not, then we will go back to fighting. It simply is the way it will be.”
“I understand, sir,” Tony said. “Enough of that, however. Have you thought anymore about your bachelor party?”
“I have. There is an opening for us at the Red Tent this weekend. We need to ensure Alessandra is protected while we are there for the party, but yes, we will have a good time, my friend. There are whores lined up for everyone.”
“You included?”
“No. As hard as it is for you to understand, I will remain faithful to her. I won’t be like her father.”
“I understand.” Tony nodded and then Greg saw him get that faraway look on his face.
Gregorio reached out and put his hand on his friend’s shoulder. He gave it a squeeze. He didn’t say anything else, just gave his friend that show of camaraderie in the moment. Greg got it. Hell, if something happened to Alessandra or she suddenly disappeared overnight, he would lose his ever fucking loving shit. No, he couldn’t think about it, because if he thought about it he would drive himself fucking crazy. “Come on, let’s go and grab a beer.”
“You payin?” Tony asked with a laugh, pulling himself out of the funk he had been in. Gregorio noticed the shadows as they left his friends eyes, at least for now.
“You bet your ass I am. The first round and then I will let all of you guys take turns buying me drinks. After all, I’m supplying the ass, right?”
“This is true, and if I know you, and I do…” Tony smirked. “It’s going to be some Grade A prime ass too.”
“Only the best for those closest to me,” Gregorio said with a smile.
“Good. I figured as much, but I wanted to check and make sure. Sadly, we both know what working for a Boss whose tighter than the bark on a tree with his money is like.”
“That we do, sadly. The good thing is that you have known me my whole life and I have known you yours. We grew up in the streets together, Tony, and that’s what counts. We have both paid in blood to learn that trust isn’t a commodity that can be traded in.”

Later that afternoon at the bar, Gregorio lifted his hand for a beer. Before either he or Tony could utter another word, one of the women came up to them and smiled. “Can I get either of you to let me dance for you, or both?” She hopefully eyed both men up with a look Greg could only liken to a starving animal looking at fresh meat.
“Me,” Tony said with a grin and grabbed her. “You good, Boss?”
“I’m good. Go, have fun.” He tipped his drink to his friend. He watched Tony being led away and
