Meeting Derek
Enemy of the State 6
Vito meeting Derek
On his mother's insistence, Vito Scaletta goes to see Derek Pappalardo at the Southport docks about a job. While the two speak, Derek mentions he remembers his father and said he was a good guy, but drank like a fish. He sends Vito off with Steve Coyne to see about some work, which is stacking crates onto the back of a truck. After several minutes, Vito decides he's had enough and leaves. On his way out he exchanges words with Steve, saying that he wasn't looking for slave labor, and that he can make more money working for Barbaro Incorporated.
Hearing Joe Barbaro's name mentioned, Steve takes Vito back to Derek's office, where Derek demands an explanation on why someone who worked with Joe would be looking for a job stacking crates. Vito explains that he made a promise to his mother about getting honest work, but that he needs some real money and manual labor isn't going to cut it. Unsure if he can take Vito at his word, Derek calls Joe, who verifies his story. Afterward Derek decides to give Vito a job to shake down the dock workers for a ten dollar "barber's fee", and teach a lesson to anyone who refuses. This job earns Vito an easy $100. As Vito leaves Derek tells him Joe called and asked Vito to meet him at Freddy's Bar.
Meeting Henry
Enemy of the State 2
Henry, Joe, and Vito discuss the job
When Vito arrives at Freddy's, Joe asks him if he remembers the wiseguys they used to see as kids, explaining that he was there to meet Henry Tomasino, one of those guys who had a big job for Vito. When Henry arrives he tells them that the job involves stealing gas stamps from the Office of Price Administration, explaining how they're worth a fortune because of the gas shortage and he will give Vito six hundred dollars for 10,000 gallons worth of stamps. He tells Vito to meet with Maria Agnello, an employee at the office who will explain how to get in the building and where the keys to the safe are kept. As Vito is leaving, Henry explains that the job has to be clean, meaning if anyone gets killed his cut will drop to one third.
The Robbery
Vito goes to speak with Maria at her apartment in Little Italy, where she says she will tell him everything he needs to know about the OPA in exchange for a ride to the hospital so she can visit her sister. Along the way she explains that the office is only accessible at night through a basement window in the back where the keys are kept, and to watch out for the guards.
Vito pulls off the robbery, but when he returns to Freddy's, Henry realizes that the gas stamps expire the next day. He tells Vito he needs to get the stamps to every gas station in Empire Bay so the attendants can redeem them in time. Vito complains that the deal didn't involve selling the stamps and that nobody ever said anything about expiration dates. Henry explains that if Vito pulls this off, he won't forget it, but he needs to get going now. Vito leaves and spends the night driving around the city selling the gas stamps, returning to Joe's afterward to turn in for the night.
