"Ok I can do that Sonny. Where's he goanna be?"
"I set up a meeting with him over at the old junk yard in Hardwood he thinks were going talk about expanding the operation. But instead you're going meet him there and rub him out, use this." Sonny handed Tommy a large kitchen knife.
"Alright I'll call you when it's done."
"And Tommy…"
"Yeah Sonny"
"Don't screw this up."
Tommy left Marco's bistro got in to his car and headed towards Hardwood.
About half an hour later, Tommy pulled into the old junk yard got out of his car and saw the man.
"You, Tony?" Tommy asked.
"Who the hell are you and where the hell's Sonny."
"Sonny doesn't speak with thieves so he sent me instead"
"What hell is this." Tony said.
"YOU THINK YOU STEAL FROM SONNY FORELLI AND GET AWAY WITH IT!"
"Fuck you buddy that money is mine and I thought Sonny might pull this so I brought some back up."
Suddenly Three men come out of hiding and start gunning for Tommy. The first man takes a swing at Tommy but Tommy ducks and stabs the man in the gut. Then the other two go after him but he slashes one in the throat and stabs the other in the chest then Tommy takes off after Tony. But before he can get close a car comes speeding towards Tommy he rolls out of the way and the car crashes.
He walks over to the car and starts slashing the four men in the car. Tommy then sees Tony and three men near the car crusher Tommy first goes after the large man with the baseball bat. As he swings the bat at Tommy, he ducks and stabs him repeatedly in the kidney. Then the other two men went after him he stabbed one in the neck and the other in the chest now the only one that was left was Tony.
"Please tell Sonny I am sorry I won't steal from him again."
"Oh I know you won't steal from him again." Tommy told him.
"Then you'll let me go right?"He asked
"No! It's too late for that."
He grabbed Tony and threw him into the car crusher. When Tommy turned the crusher on Tony's screams where silenced. Tommy could hear police sirens in the back ground.
"Fuck someone must have called the cops." He thought to himself.
Tommy quickly got into his car and drove off. But was soon pulled over. The cop walked over to Tommy's car and tapped on his window. Tommy rolled down his window.
"Is there a problem officer?" Tommy asked.
"Yeah I got call on the radio that there was a big mess in Hardwood and you were speeding. Where you headed?"
"I was headed to the Burger shot in St. Marks." Tommy told him.
"Ok I'll take your word for it." As the cop went to go hand Tommy the ticket the cop saw the bloody knife in his back seat.
"SHIT!" Tommy then he knew he was screwed.

"No they found bodies at the scene but Tony is still missing. What are we going do about Tommy?" Lee asked
Sonny took deep breath and said. "I'll call the family lawyer he'll help us out but some time tomorrow I want you to go visit Tommy at the jail."
Then Lee left the office. Sonny poured himself another drink still thinking over what just happened. As he finished his drink he picked up his phone and called his Lawyer.

Welcome to Vice City
Liberty City, Marco's bistro March 3rd 1986
The year was 1986 15 years had past since the Hardwood incident. Sonny had become Don of the Forelli crime family since the death of his father and Tommy Vercetti was going to be let out of prison. Meanwhile Sonny Forelli was at Marco's bistro conducting business as usual with his bodyguard Bruno Marcello and his Consigliore Aldo Trevino.
"Tommy Vercetti…Shit thought they never let him out." Sonny said with a shocked face.
"He kept his head down helped people forget." Said Aldo.
"Well they'll remember soon enough when he's walken down the Streets of their neighborhood it will be bad for business.
"So…what are going to do Sonny?" Asked Bruno
"We keep him busy out town ok….We've been thinking of expanding down south right? Vice City is 24-carat gold these days. The Mexicans, the Columbians hell some those Cuban refugees are cutting themselves a piece of some nice action."
"But it's all drugs Sonny none of the families will touch that shit." Aldo explained.
"Times are changing Aldo. The families can't keep their backs turned while are enemies reap the rewards. So we send someone down there to do the dirty work for us and cut are selves a nice quiet slice okay…whose are contact down there?"
"Ken Rosenberg shmuck of a lawyer how's he gonna hold Vercetti's leash" Bruno asked.
"We don't need him too we just set him loose in Vice City. Give him a little cash to get started ok…. give him a few months then we go down there pay him a little visit see how he's doing."
"Some of the other families might wanna get in on this Sonny." Aldo told him
"I'll call a meeting with some of our allies see if they want in."
"Who do think will wanna get in on this." Bruno asked.
"The the Leone's and the Ancelottie's have been looking to expand but in the meantime I want you to call Harry and Lee and tell them to go pick up Tommy at prison tomorrow. Now I am going to go call Salvatore and set up the meeting." Sonny told Bruno.
Then Bruno left to go call Lee and Sonny picked up his phone and called Salvatore Leone.
"Hello" Said a voice on the other end of the line.
"Sal…It's me Sonny I've got business deal coming up and I am looking for investors."
"Ok what's the deal?" Salvatore asked.
"I can't say over the phone but wanna have meeting with you and old man Ancelotti tonight."
"Alright ill give Giovanni a call and set up the meeting." Salvatore told Sonny.
The Leone compound later that night

"Now men I've brought us together here today to discuss expanding down to Vice city and taking a piece of the drug trade.' Sonny proposed.
"Now Sonny we all know drug running has been against cosa nostra rules since the founding of the commission." Salvatore explained.
"That may be true Sal but it's time for change…The street gangs the cartels and the yakuza have been getting rich off this stuff soon they'll rise up against us and if we don't get a piece of this action we could lose everything we've worked so hard to get." Sonny said.
"I see your point Sonny…But what's our investment?" Giovanni asked.
"A million dollars in cash each." Sonny told them.
"That's a lot of dough Sonny can you secure are investment." Salvatore asked.
