The main topic Tuesday night was the kidnapping of one of Rissa's Violet. I'm sure this is retaliation because Furio and I roughed Tiki Boyd up the other day when he tried to hire away Violet and Brenda.
Rissa received an phone call from Boyd asking for $100,000 if we wanted to get her back in one piece. Rissa can explain what happened better than me, but apparently he used a fake name, Randolph Piper, to lure Violet over to a hotel room at the Edison Hotel in Brooklyn.
On Wednesday, Tiki, posing as a cab driver, managed to grab Maddie and add her to Violet as his prisoners. Tiki called me directly a few hours later uping his demands to $250,000. His logic is that we forced him out of the escort business in Manhattan and he deserves compensation. After several minutes of conversation, he promised to release both girls unharmed if I transferred the requested $250,000 to his Swiss bank account.
I insisted on talking to both Maddie and Violet. He handed them his cell phone. I made sure they weren't just recorded voices by asking them questions. When Tiki came back on line we had a long conversation regarding trust.
He said he knows the Sicilian code of honor and he'll abide by it if I will. He'll release both women unharmed once the money is in his account, but he also wants in return a promise of no retaliation from the Genovese family. I finally agreed, but warned him if he pulled any tricks, we would hunt him down, no matter where he tried to hide, and take him apart one inch at a time, not a pleasant way to die.
On Thursday morning the $250,000 was deposited in his Swiss account. I expect to see Madison and Violet safely back today.

As promised, Tiki Boyd dropped off both Violet and Maddie at Carnegie Hill this afternoon. I haven't spoken with them yet, but I understand they're in good health and weren't abused.
Joshua Turnings, Madison's husband, showed up at my Bergen Hunt and fish Club asking to speak with me. Gino patted him down per my instructions, then sent him upstairs. I met him at the door to my office, made us both a scotch, then sat down in my huge leather chairs for a chat.
He was pretty upset over the second kidnapping of Maddie, asking for the kidnapper's name and a gun so he could go kill him. I did my best to settle him down, saying I'd been able to get her back safely both times. I didn't give him a name and advised him against trying to kill Tiki. The odds where he would either wind up in jail or dead if he tried that alone.
He finally said that he'd like to become part of the family, work for Genovese Enterprises, so he would have a better idea what was going on since his wife is so involved. I told him I wanted him to think it over, talk to Maddie, then let me know if he's serious. I told him if he decided to come on board, there would be no backing out later. He said he understood that and he'd go talk to Maddie and get back to me.
I can start him out in one of the legal businesses, since we don't share everything with the new soldiers. He'll have to earn our respect and work his way up the ladder like I did years ago.
