Rain poured down in the poorly lit streets of 1960s Dockington. Cars went by with headlights on and horns honking. Everything was normal until it happened. Cars pulled over. The rain ceased to exist. The single street light flickered as a wave of sirens went by. Rainwater was thrust to the side of the road as police cars sped to the house. The light of the streetlamp was replaced for a couple of seconds by the lights and sirens of the cars. Everyone in town knew where they were headed: to the Lestima house. This house was owned by the infamous Giuseppe Lestima and his crime family. It was shocking, mostly since no one had heard from the Lestimas in years. The main reason everyone was shocked was that the police knew of the illegal gambling system for months and did not do anything about it until now. This was a big breakthrough in the ending of organized crime because big Giuseppe Lestima, the Don, was finally going down. That was 60 years ago, and as organized crime started coming to an end, so did the FBI's awareness of the mafia. Giuseppe's influence and power was the only reason that the FBI had stayed away from the Lestimas for so long. They knew of the illegal gambling happening within the family business. After the big bust, everyone thought that the mob was gone, that no one could hurt them, but how wrong they were.
