Liberty City, Marco's Bistro, 1986
Tommy Vercetti? Huh shit, didn't think they'd ever let him out", declared Sonny over the thought of his former cleaner being released. "He kept his head down, helps people forget", said Harry one of Sonny's bodyguards. Sonny Forelli was the head of the main Mafia branch in Liberty City, The Forelli Brothers. " Well, people will remember soon enough when they see him walkin' down the streets of their neiborhoods. It will be bad for business", said the crime boss. "Well, what are we gonna do Sonny?" asked Lee the second half of Forelli's bodyguards. "We've been talkin' bout 'spandin down south right? Vice City is 24 karat gold these days," announced Sonny. "But it's all drugs Sonny, none of the families will touch that shit," protested Harry. "Times are changin', and the families can't keep their backs turned while are enemies are reapin' all the rewards. So we sound someone down to do the dirty work for us. Give it a few months. Then we go down see how he's doin'.
Vice City, Escobar International Airport, 1986
Harry, Lee, and Tommy Vercetti all stepped out of the airport with suitcases full of coke in hand. They walked out of the terminal to meet their contact, a crooked lawyer named Ken Rosenberg who was trying to establish ties with the Forelli's for years. You could tell he was nervous about being in a car with a convicted murderer like Tommy Vercetti. His voice trembled as he invited them in his car. "OK, uh, I'm gonna drive you guys to the meet and they are uh, very happy to start a uh, business relationship so uh, if everything goes smoothly, then we uh, should be doing very nicely for ourselves which is you know, good. After listening to Ken's rambling for a while they drove to Viceport for the "business transaction".
