He pulls a knife, you pull a gun,
he sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue...
that's the Chicago way...

Emilio hadn't been sitting in the chez lounge chair before becoming bored, even though watching as some Marinos fled at the sight of him was amusing, he wanted to get these negotiations going as soon as possible, after all the sooner things were settled, the sooner things would go back to their hum drum normal, he could get those bratty girls off his hands and begin his hostile take over of mafia's all over the Chicago area, maybe spread his regime even further, but who really knew, the world was perhaps his oyster by now. Looking at his wrist watch, Emilio smiled, the hand just moved to 4:45 and as he looked up Mikie was walking in his general direction, looking as if he was constipated or something. At the sight of the strapping young Marino, Emilio smiled and pushed himself up off the chez lounge and approached the boy, smirk still playing at his lips. Once Emilio was in 'hand shaking' distance of Mikie he began speaking. "Your timing is impecible I must admit." Emilio said in a very professional manner as he shook the boys hand with a firm grip, weak shake weak man. "So how are you m'boy?" Emilio asked after a few firm shakes then proceeding to drop his hand to his side, but didn't wait for a response "Anywho I'm a very busy man and don't have time to dilly dally." Emilio started "So follow me." He said adjusting his suit jacket and tie before turning on his heel and heading for the front desk where Ronnie Marino was standing. "Ey Ronnie." Emilio started, looking at Jack's younger brother square in the face, Ronnie obviously less than thrilled "Conference room, I'm sure you know which one I'm talking about." Emilio said with a devious smirk. Ronnie said nothing to Emilio but motioned for one of the bell hops to show him the way.
Not really checking to see if Mikie was following him or not Emilio began walking as if he had some kind of purpose over towards the conference room the bellhop was leading them. From the looks of it this guy was no Marino since well. . .he didn't have that fawned over 'Marino' look, it bemused Emilio why every single Marino he came across had these stunning good looks but then he had to remind himself too look at what his own kids looked like, remind himself of the Italian genes that seemed to flawlessly create more attractive beings. However, Emilio knew that Mikie was following him, not like the guy had much of a choice if he truly intended to get the girls back. . .and Johnny, the thought of springing that he also had Johnny hostage brought the most devious expression to Emilios face. Ah, this is going to be a good day. He thought as they rounded a corner and were in a deserted hallway, the only signs of intelligent life other than Emilio, Mikie, and the bellhop were a couple of Emilio's men standing on each side of the door that lead into the conference room, wearing appropriate suit's that were pressed and washed perfectly, and it was obvious that they would be guarding the door during the negotiations, no doubt. Once at the door, the bellhop motioned with his arms towards the door as if presenting it or something, Emilio nodded at him curtly and gave him a sort of 'buzz off' expression before nodding at Bobo and Stephano "Gentlemen" was all he said before Stephano reached over and opened the door for both Mikie and Emilio. Still having no patience for dilly dallying Emilio stepped inside the cozy room, where he found Zane and Marco standing inside, much like Bobo and Stephano had been. The door closed behind them.
The room was dimly lit and not very large, there was a professional looking desk with a chair on the 'business' side and two on the other, obviously a more private discussing room. With a sigh Emilio took the business side chair, obviously, and rested his fingers over his protruding stomach, lacing his fingers together to add more effect. Watching as Mikie took his seat, Emilio leaned back in his chair and sighed before pulling out a box of Tuscanello Cigars along with a sleek, sliver lighter. Pulling one of the cigars out and sticking it between his lips Emilio offered Mikie one while lighting up. Taking a moment to inhale the smoke and puff it out Emilio began to speak, finally getting these negotiations under way "Alright Marino, you know why you're here and I know why you're here so let's cut to the chase." He started looking non chalant as ever, not even daring to look at Mikie as he let out another puff of the Italian cigar. "You know that I already have the girls and that I obviously want something in return, I also have something else hidden up my sleeve but you'll just have to wait to see that m'boy." He chuckled in a dastardly sort of manner, figuring that if Mikie was observant enough he'd already figured it out. . .or had just now, although it wasn't like capturing Johnny would make the boy go balistic, well it might but all it meant for Emilio was just more leverage and another soul to crush on his long path to revenge. "Now it has come to my understanding that both the Rado and De Luca girls posess very valuable lockets. . .I thought I'd gotten my hand on the De Luca girls one time but that idiot brother of yours and his new little bride tricked me, so I haven't got a locket." Emilio paused thoughtfully for a second to add just a little more drama and tension to the scenario.
"But that's not what I'm after you see." Emilio said calmly, now sitting up straight in the old fashioned, leather office chair and leaning against the perfectly polished wooden desk. "It's come to my knowledge that there is something. . .else." Emilio speaking every word slowly and clearly now "Something much more valuable, any mobster would give their right leg just to get a glimpse at this. . .valuable, it has all the power anyone would ever need to take over all of the mafia's in the Chicago area and possibly more. . ." Emilio trailed off, pulling the cigar out of his mouth and tapping it into the crystal ash trey before placing it between his lips again. "But there's a snag, there's always a snag." He chuckled in a friendly manner while shaking his head in mock disappointment "I have no idea what or where it is, and if you haven't already figured it out since you Marinos aren't exactly what one would call intelligente." An evil sort of scoff escaped his lips at this "I want this valuable item." Emilio looking away from Mikie for a second, from Marco and Zane then back to Mikie "And word on the street is, Jack was it's sould posessor, he had it with him at all times, or so it was said, at least until he died. . ." Emilio trailed off once more, loving the dramatic air this seemed to be drawing "Now, it would appear that nobody knows exactly where it is or what it is for that matter. And the one person I thought who knew where and what it is, other than Jack, is just as clueless as I." Emilio narrowed his eyes, now looking directly at Mikie as an evil smile spread across his face, the half smoked cigar only adding an eviler effect to this masterpiece of a smile "However, with his lack of information I couldn't just turn him loose, he'd run blabbing to everyone else and ruin my brilliant scheme. Plus I just couldn't resist his pleading request after I threatened to kill the girls right in front of us, right Johnny!?!?" Emilio called loudly towards the darkest corner of the room. "Why don't you come out here and say hello boy!" Emilio said laughing meniacally now.
When Johnny came into the light it was obvious that he was handcuffed and gagged. "Now you see Mikie." Emilio started as if he were going to give Mikie a valuable lesson in the proper way to undertake mafia dealings and what not. "You never pass up the opportunity to take anyone hostage, much less when it's someone this valuable or when they plead for it to save a couple girls. However, I couldn't just let little Jude and Bella go you see. . .I'd loose my edge, my leverage, you know that don't you." He said looking from his latest hostage back over to the probably enraged Marino kid. "So here's the deal. You and Jack were close, were you not? After all you were the heir to his mafia in case anything went. . .awry." An evil little smirk played at his lips "He must have told you many things about the mafia, no?" He asked endearingly now, allowing a couple puffs of smoke to seep through his lips "Of course he did, and with using that logic I know that you know exactly what and where that valuable is, after all who would Jack Marino trust more than his oldest, and brighest son?" Emilio paused of only for a second "I will release both Johnny and the girls in exchange for this valuable. . .if you refuse to hand it over, I will have no other choice but to kill Johnny, Jude and Bella." Yet another pause "Don't believe I have the girls or would be so cruel as to shoot them right in front of you?" Emilio asked snapping his fingers and pointing to the TV screen above his head. Almost immediately the screen flashed on, displaying a flawless scene of both Jude and Bella gagged, tied to a couple of chairs, hands behind their back obviously, and bright, shiny pistols pressed firmly against both their heads, cocked and ready to fire.
Emilio looked from the screen and back down at Mikie with a horribly satisfied expression on his face "So do we have a deal. . .or not?"
