CHAPTER TWENTY

A MEETING OF THE MINDS

A sleek white limousine pulled up before Eastside Bar and JunJie Maruyama exited with Asa Spade and Dougie following close behind. The men were greeted by Junior and Finland and escorted inside the bar. It was the first week of December 2003, five weeks after the hit on Desiree Abbadando and the war between the three factions was ratcheting up again.

Carmella had killed three more of Asa’s crew shortly after the hit on Desires, nearly depleting him of soldiers, and she now had Q-man and his crew riding through Saint Charles periodically, but it was easier to bust off shots outside of Fort Knox. With so much tension in the air and danger lurking about, Cicero was the best place for the bosses to hold a power meeting.

Once inside, JunJie and his clan were escorted to the back of the bar where Doss, DeeDee and Mendoza were all waiting.

“Asa Spade,” Doss said as he stood up and greeted the man, “I’ve heard a lot of good things about you, brother.”

Doss’s first impression of Asa Spade was that of a man with strong character. A hustler by nature and a man dedicated to crew and business. A stand up guy. He liked him right away.

“I heard a lot about you as well, Doss, although your name and face has been in anonymity until this day,” Asa replied through a smile.

Asa Spade’s first impression of Doss was one of respect. Asa had pimped women, bodied a few men in his time, but here was this killer-for-hire that actually murdered people for a living, stone-faced, yet just as calm and inviting as an undisturbed body of water. Doss was a man’s man in Asa’s eyes. Someone he could easily trust and the polar opposite of Finland Xavier. He liked him from the start.

“That job in Vegas changed my life. I appreciate what you and your crew did for me, Doss,” Asa remarked, breaking the brief moment of silence.

“It was just a job that needed doing. Now, given this photo of Toodie taken the night Desiree was hit, we all seem to be battling the same enemy in two different cities.”

“Seems like it. The only problem is we don’t know who’s pulling the strings.” Asa replied as he ran his hand across his wavy head of hair.

“You’re right, but we have some leads,” Doss said as he handed Asa a stack of photographs that Bay had developed back on the ranch shortly after the hit on Desiree. “Recognize anybody else besides Desiree?”

Asa gestured his hands towards the table before him, requesting permission to sit. Doss reciprocated by stepping aside to allow Asa, JunJie and Dougie to have access to the booth.

Once the men were situated, Asa looked the pictures over and acknowledged one of the people, a man only known as the Somali.

Dougie grabbed the photos and eyed them and recognized one person right away. “This woman here was in the house the night we went after Desiree,” he said as he pointed to Carmella’s picture.
