you are in Empire Bay, 1950, in one of the many clothing shops, just minding your own business, when suddenly you heard gunshots from outside. You rush outside to see whats happening when you see a car at full speed drive away, followed by another car, that soon stopped. You saw 2 guys come out the car and you overhear them talking

Joe: "shit. We lost 'em." Vito: "shit. What do we do now?" Joe: "i have no clue." he sighed

Vito and Joe are "mafias" of this city, yet no one knows
