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.
