“Would you like a drink?” Bogun asks.

Both brothers have shot glasses in front of them. A bottle of Beluga Noble vodka sits on the table. Fuck, Russians and their expensive vodka!

“No thanks.” I answer.

Paul looks disappointed. We are not staying that long. This isn’t a social visit.

“What do you want Capo?” Bogun asks with a sneer on his ugly face.

“I want peace between the Outfit and the Bratva.”

I do. I really do. But I know that will never happen. This is just a game. A fishing expedition. I do not mention their using Salvador Villalovos to kidnap Gwen. They will just deny it.

Bogun smiles and replies, “I don’t like peace.”

“What do you want Bogun?”

“Capo, I want you to call off the cops. I am tired of my brothels and clubs being raided.”

The Antonovich brothers specialize in trafficking underage European girls. They bring them into the city via trucks and planes and force them into prostitution in their illegal brothels.

“Those are the brothels where you traffic underage girls for sex. I hate baby fuckers.”

The Outfit does not traffic women. We also do not force underage girls into prostitution. The Antonovich brothers are pedophiles.

“You Americans, so moral, so high and mighty. Why do you care? Have the cops on your payroll look the other way.” Bogan advises.

“What else?” I ask.

I need to know everything Bogun wants before I try to broker a deal with him. A deal that will be a lie. I do not believe the Outfit will ever have an alliance with the Bratva.

“You are a powerful man, Bobby. You will be even more powerful after you marry the Fielding cunt.” I flinch when he calls my fiancé a cunt. “You have amassed a fortune - real estate, restaurants, clubs, and you control the drug trade. We want to expand our enterprises. We want our fair share of Chicago. We are no longer satisfied with your scraps! We want all the drug trade on the north side.”

“I have already given the razors the north side drug trade.” I state.

I have no intention of giving the Russians anything.

“So, take it back! You are the boss. We want all the loan sharking. We want a gambling boat on Lake Michigan. We want more real estate. Have Fielding stop bidding against us. It’s time for you to share Bobby, if you don’t want to war.”

Bogun is always so fucking dramatic! I rub a hand over my face.

Of course, I can’t give into their ridiculous demands - it will cripple the Outfit and they know that. This meeting is a waste of time. A joke. What are they really after? I need to find out if I don’t want war with the Russians. The Outfit can’t go to war with them – it will destroy Chicago. The cops and politicians expect the Outfit to keep peace in the city. I need to stop the Antonovich brothers. They are acting way too cocky – even for them.Do they have a “get out of jail free” card?

“I’ll see what I can do. Give me a couple of weeks to meet with my people.”

“You have a week, Capo.”

Bogun fills his shot glass with vodka.

Paul Jr. and I, along with our men, leave the hotel.

So, the Bratva want to run Chicago. I know the Bratva is losing ground in New York against the five mafia families.

There are five mob families that run New York. The capos of New York are:
