Chapter 1

My friends and I have formed a gang here in the Syracuse area. We have a small crew consisting of 3 captains, 1 adviser, and 1 boss. We do have several soldiers and button men. The three captains are Eric, Gary, Paulie, and the adviser is Chris and I am the boss, Stosh.

Let me familiarize you with our business. We don't run drugs we run prostitutes, loan sharking and gambling. I own this club called The Icehouse. We use the upstairs as a base of operations, and the downstairs is a dance club. Eric runs a strip club called Papa Chubby, and Gary heads up a construction company.

It was a sunny spring day here in our little city; some local group has been trying to move in our territory. We kidnapped one of their captains and his wife. He was an Asian, part of some Asian gang. We really kicked the shit out of him and smacked his old lady around. We then brought them both together so they could see what we did to them.

I walked over to the wife and then stripped all of her clothes; she stood their naked and crying. I then told the man that before he dies know this "We are going to have our way with your wife and she is going to become our whore now." I then had Paulie put two rounds in the back of his head. Paulie and his soldier Dominick disposed of the body, and I took Kim, the wife in the other room.

Kim was crying her eyes out, and she looked up at me and asked if I was going to kill her. I told her as I lit my Cuban cigar,

"That all depends on how well you behave. As you see I have no problem killing people if they don't do what I want."
