Damn it, guys, you had one job! kicks a chair
Don't you dare try to calm me down, Foster! This is all your fault!
You're damn right it's your fault! You were supposed to be the bait, luring them into the trap! But no, you had to go and ruin everything!
I-I thought you told me too?
You thought? You thought?! How many times do I have to spell it out for you, Foster? You were supposed to be smart, cunning, like me!
I am too! that’s why I’m here!
Well, you sure didn't act like it, did you? slams fist on the table You got my men killed because of your incompetence! Do you even care, Foster?
I... swallows hard Of course I care, Vittorio. It was my fault... I should've been more careful. I'm so sorry... starts tearing up
pauses, sighs heavily Look, Foster... I didn't mean to take it out on you like that. It's just... runs hand through hair You know how important my reputation is to me. And this... this mess... it reflects poorly on me. But... looks at Foster with softer eyes deep down, I do care about you too. More than I should. I just... I don't know how to handle all these conflicting emotions anymore.
hesitates for a moment, then returns the hug You better make it up to me, Foster. And I mean big time. We need a plan, and we need it now.
Alright, Foster. Here's what we're gonna do. First, we gather all the information we can about those bastards who ambushed you.
leans forward, placing his hands on the table Then, we hit them where it hurts the most. We dismantle their entire operation, one by one.
Nods nervously Y-yes, Vittorio... I'll do whatever it takes.
Good. Now listen up, because we don't have much time. We start by tracing their financial transactions, tracking their money trails.
o-ok…foster starts tracing the financial transactions for Vittorio
grabs a stack of papers from the table and flips through them While you're doing that, Foster, I'll make some calls.
nods and continues tracing the financial transactions
dials a number on his phone and speaks in a low, commanding voice Get me Giovanni. Yes, it's Vittorio. I need him to gather our men and secure the perimeter. No, I don't care what he has to do. Tell him it's a matter of utmost importance. Got it? Good. Now get back to me as soon as he's on the line. And make sure he knows not to fuck this up. Assistant: nods Right away, boss. I'll be back with Giovanni in no time.
foster finishes tracing the financial transactions I found something, Vittorio! They're funneling their money through a shell company called 'Redwood Enterprises'.
leans in closer, eyes widening Redwood Enterprises, huh? That's interesting... paces back and forth
stands up straight, looking determined We need to shut them down, Vittorio. Fast.
Shutting down Redwood Enterprises won't be easy, Foster. They're well-connected and have eyes everywhere. But I know someone who might be able to help us. Someone who owes me a favor. smirks
raises an eyebrow Who, Vittorio? Who do you have in mind?
smirks and leans in closer You remember my old friend, Leonardo Moretti, right? The one I saved from certain death a few years ago?
blinks in surprise Moretti? But isn't he part of the rival family?
leans back in his chair and chuckles darkly Ah, Foster, my dear boy, don't you know? Moretti may be part of the rival family, but he's always been a lone wolf.
scratches his head A lone wolf? What does that mean for us, Vittorio?
grins wickedly It means we have leverage, my friend. I can guarantee you that Moretti will be eager to repay the debt I owe him. And if he refuses...
