For a hefty fee, Michael agrees to help protect Mantua from the cartel by using his influence with federal law enforcement agents and City Hall contacts. Mantua, in turn, gives Michael instructions on how to obtain the diary that night at a nearby greasy spoon. Michael advises Mantua to remain underground until he can bring him out of the cold and safely into authorities' hands. Little did Michael realize how deep these waters would prove to be ...
