Chicago
1930
Find and defuse the bomb
To the bold man, Fortune gives her hand…
…and no man has been bolder in Chicago for the last decade than Al Capone.
It all started with the 18th Amendment to the Constitution : a total ban on the production, sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages across the United States.
The supply vacuum quickly led to a boom for criminal organisations, but one after the other, they all surrendered the control of their lucrative business to the Italian Godfather. Even the Northside Irish had to give up after their crushing defeat last year.
The target
To tell the truth, he didn’t take it seriously from the beginning. Il Padrino cannot be bothered with every hearsay that circulates around the Windy City. It was a mere gossip, not a serious threat, of course, who could seriously think that a Belgian brewer can produce (and sell ! Mamma Mia) the most savoury beers right under the nose of the Master of Chicago ?
Che peccato for our Belgian friend : hurting the pride of a Maffioso unfortunately comes with a price, and the whole City was about to be reminded of it. The clock is ticking already…
