To Kill A Rat...

[Forelli]

Brownsville-East New York
New York City
1955

Yeah, I'd like to say I lived a happy life, but my happy life has a dark side in it. You see, not all people were like me. I lived in Brownsville-East New York, it was a Jewish and Italian neighborhood a few minutes from Brooklyn. In Brownsville, I met one of my most powerful friends, Paul Vario. Paul was a Caporegime for one of the Five New York mob families, the Lucchese family. Since I knew Paulie, I met his brothers...Lenny, Tuddy, and Salvatore A.K.A Babe. I first met Tuddy when I went to the cab stand with Paulie. I mean I knew who Tuddy was before then but, I never talked with him. Tuddy hired me and let me work at his cab stand on Piktin Avenue (sorry if I got that wrong). Tuddy's cab stand was a hang out place for wiseguys. I hung out there everyday and watched the wiseguys in the silk suits hang out at night. I watched them through my window because the cab stand was across from my house. When the time came, Tuddy and Paulie let me hang out with the wiseguys at night. Soon, everyone knew me...and I was only 13.

Soon enough, I was doing "errands" for Tuddy. I was smashing car windows, lighting fires, beating up local hoodlums who try to rip Paulie off...I did everything with the wiseguys. I was one of them. I hung out with Frankie Carbone, Johnny Dio, Tommy DeSimone, Mickey Francheze...these guys were the young wiseguys...like me except a bit older.

Now, here I am sitting outside with Jimmy "the Gent" Conway, Tommy DeSimone, and Johnny Dio. We were outside of the cab stand at 10 o' clock watching the wiseguys come up and with their Cadillacs. We were talking about the days' numbers and what profits we made. We were sitting outside waiting for the cops to stop patrolling the cab stand so we could go to the school and play cards in the basement of my school. We did this every night because we didn't want anyone to know what we were doing down there...it was illegal.

The cop cars past by the cabstand and only one stopped. The two cops that were in the car were on Paulie's payroll. So, when the car stopped, Paulie went inside the cabstand and grabbed a small brown box with a label on it that said, 'Stiletto's Shoes'. Paulie gave the cops the box and the cops just drove away. That was it, no confrontation, no nothing. The only thing Paulie said to the cops was, "Have a good night!" That's what I liked about the mob so much. After the cops left, all the wiseguys picked up their stuff and went to their Cadillacs that were parked in parking lot right next to the cabstand. Jimmy went into his Buick, Johnny, Tommy, and I followed him. We all got into the backseat. Jimmy waited for Nick Castellucci. Nick pulled out of the parking lot and drove in front of us. We were driving to the basement of Nick Castellucci's house. Jimmy drove and followed Nick.

Jimmy stopped the car and we all got out. The wiseguys in their other cars got out flashing their diamond studded rings and gold jewelery when they closed the door. Nick Castellucci was already inside the basement with his hands crossed. Jimmy, Tommy, Johnny, and I walked down into the basement. As soon as we got in their, I could already feel the excitment of the games. The red dice at the craps games weren't even touched but I was already excited. Jimmy went over to a card game and Tommy stayed with Jimmy, serving him anisette. Paulie was in the basement wearing his blue, black, and white stripped bowling shirt. He was looking at the room and talking with Nick at the same time. Meanwhile, Johnny Dio and myself were by in and out the door, bringing in the boxes of liquor, lunch meat, and other things. We set them down near a table right next to a craps table. We started unloading, then we made sandwiches and started to mix drinks. Johnny was mixing the drinks while I was making the salami, prosciutto, and pastrami sandwhiches. All of the stuff that was used on the sandwiches was either Italian meat and cheese or ham, turkey, and Colby-Jack Cheese. The drinks were usually anisette and bourbon. "Hey Henry, give the anisette and prosciutto sandwich to Nick, he wants it." Johnny said. I picked up the plate and walked over to Nick. I gave him the sandwich and drink. "Thanks kid." Nick said. Paulie and Nick were talking about union problems and stuff like that. Nick was a member of the bricklayers' union and he knew about all the problems that thr boss, Bobby Scola was having.

Luqe waltz into the area where the guys were gambling and stuff. He had been equipped with gold rings and chains and the pefect clothes for the mob people. He steped over and grabbed a sandwich after taking a swig of anisette. He smiled as he minched on the ittalion snadwich. He turned to Henry and winked then turned again to face the others. "Hello."

[Forelli]

The new guy had just walked in, his name was Luqe Bannister. The guy was okay, I mean at least he wasn't a cop. I passed him a sandwich and he said hello to me. "Hi, how ya doin'?" I asked him. I turned around and looked at Johnny Dio who was now playing craps with Nick Castellucci. Johnny raised the small glass with two ice cubes in the air and made sure I saw it. "Excuse me for one second." I said to Luqe. I walked over to the small craps table. Johnny Dio was playing craps with Frankie Carlisi, Sam Angiolini, and Chris Dante. They were throwing their dice, as soon as their hookers blew on them. I remeber being entranced by the hookers. They were real beauties...not like those drag queens you see roaming the streets of hick ass towns. I remembered liking Angiolini's girl...she was blonde, had nice "assets", and a nice ass. She was everything a guy could every want, her name was Shelley or Patti or something like that. She was a real beauty.

Johnny Dio held up his glass and I walked over to him. "What do you want, Johnny?" I asked him. "Some more anisette for me." Johnny said. "For you?!" I said suprised. "Yeah...for me." Johnny said. "Jesus Johnny, I thought you were a pussy." I said. We both laughed at it and I went back to the bar and poured him a small glass of anisette.

[Forelli]

I poured Johnny the glass of anisette and brought it over to him. I walked over to him with the anisette splashing on the sides of the small glass, leaving its residue with every splash. I put the anisette on the table and walked over to Paulie who was sitting on a stool. I stood their, feeling my cigarette lighter bang up against my leg. I walked up to Paulie. "Hey kid." Paulie said to me. "Hey Paulie." I said to him.

Ic: Tommy was walking around when he ran into hennry. "Yo henry what yo doing" he said looking at him, a little wozzy from the drinks but not enough to be drunk. He looked at him and then he looked around then bacj at him. "well your quite a conversationits...." he said then he slapped him softly and laughed.

[Forelli]

I turned around and saw Tommy walk towards me. "I'm doin' good. You?" Henry asked Tommy. "Pretty good." Tommy said. I walked away from Paulie and I went back over to Johnny Dio and the card game. Carlisi was teaching Johnny how yo cheat without being caught, and Angiolini was taking advice from Shelley. She kept on nodding her head and Angiolini always whispered to her. "Yes or no." He would always mumble. And then, Chris Dante was helping Carlisi and Johnny cheat at the card game. Mobsters were cheating with each other. I thought of this as hilarious.

A glossy black 1955 Chevy with bright green interior rolled up to DeTonios Tavern and stopped. Four gangsters dressed in black suits stepped out, the driver specifically wearing black sunglasses and a black top hat. In each mans' hand was a tommy gun.
Everything happened so quick, the gun fire, blood, scattereing gangsters, more gun fire and the '55 Chevy laid rubber as it rode off into the night. A quick hit and getaway. This was an act only one gangster was good at these days......Vinnie Coggniti.

[Arctic-Fox]

Luqe watched the guys play craps as he wondered over there and watched them cheat. He also thought it funny. He pulled up a seat and munched on his sub. He leaned to Henry. "So kid ever get any money winnin against these guys or do you just get their girls." He smile dhoping he would recognize the sarcasm in his voice about the last part. He smiled and munched more on the sub.

[Forelli]

I turned over to Luqe. "Both Luqe." I said to him. I turned away from the prick and started talking to Johnny Dio. "Well, we got alot of customers tonight. Listen, I am going to talk to Paulie." I said to Johnny. I turned away from Johnny and walked over to Paulie. Paulie was standing next to Vinnie Santolla. "The bosses in the Midwest are trying to figure out..." Santolla stopped talking and turned to me. "Oh hey, Henry." Paulie said. I knew Santolla and Paulie were talking about something big, I just came over to ask about something. "Paulie do I have a job this week?" I asked him. Santolla looked at me, Paulie looked at Santolla, Paulie nodded and Santolla walked away. "Yeah, Tuddy's having problems. Go see him tomorrow." Paulie said. I turned around and walked away.
