“It’s been quiet around here. How come I never see the kid
when I come over?”
“Nobuo’s wife has taken a liking to him. Something about
nurturing his talents.”
“I thought you were going to run him into the ground.
Toughen him up a bit?”
“I still run him through the gauntlet in the mornings. And Starlight Fitness is open 24/7. He knows how much gym time he owes me when he gets home.
“Speaking of people
who owe me, Bryan what do you have for me?”
“Well you were right about the Savago Family. Nothing concrete yet but it seems like they’re planning something big in Starlight Shores. Big enough to make the Harlow Family reach out to the other families for support.”
“Clovis Harlow reaching out for help? I’ve seen it all.”
“What else can he do? The wolves are at the door.”
“More like the pups.”
“Well those pups have been dropping bodies all over Bridgeport and Simtropolis. Even the cops and politicians are afraid. This isn’t the same Savago Family that you used to go up against, Jorvan. It’s gotten to the point where they can drop people in broad daylight and not get prosecuted. That’s how much influence they’ve gotten. And Horace has his hands full getting his department to do real police work because they’re afraid of getting knocked off or seeing their family members kidnapped and killed.”
“Spineless f****.”
“So what are you going to do about this? You know the cops in this city aren’t any better. If the Savago Family try to replicate what they’re doing in Bridgeport here in Starlight Shores, there’s not a damn person in this city who can stop them. Except for you. You’re still “the Chef”, Jorvan whether you like it or not. People respect that. The families still respect that. Even the old families.”
“What makes you think I plan on doing something about this?"
