Chicago, Illinois
It had been over an hour since Gael and Giovanni landed at O'Hare Airport. Usually, they would fly in their private planes, but Illinois was the Morellis' territory. So they flew coach and used fake IDs.
The two came on their own because most of their men were already busy. Gael only brought a few of his security to New York as the others, including Rick, stayed in Mayne, Esmea to watch over Angela. They didn't have a choice.
They had someone investigate the Morellis for them and used him as their eyes and ears. According to their findings, Marino Morelli's soldiers had been seen with some men from a warehouse of a clothing brand based in Chicago, which was obviously an odd behavior. The boss of the Morelli family surely didn't have a thing for fashion. This was why Gael and Giovanni came. They needed to know how to attack Marino on all sides, making sure he wouldn't have anything to fall back on.
