─── its the dead of night. for once, hollywood boulevard is quiet. party-goers are trickling into their homes and all that's left downtown is the rumbling of two cars. each swerve and ram into one another until the larger of these cars breaks the passenger side window, firing two blanks into the car opposite. tires screech as the smaller of the cars veers left, and speeds up a hill. winding through the hills, the smaller car opts to follow a dirt road up the mountain, it's unstable sure; but it's better than being caught by your arch enemy and his daughter.

soon enough there's two cars also climbing up the mountain. there's a sharp turn in the road, and it sends one of the two cars flying, tumbling down the mountain. no one is certain to survive that fall. at the top of the mountain, where the road ended and curved out, the east coast playboy was a goner. his hands shook as he held onto the gun, not really preparing himself to actually shoot someone. this trip west was just meant to be one for a treaty deal, not death. his lover had already exited his car, she curled herself around her husband, as she sat on the hood of his car. all this work over some chick? by god his family was a mess.

her husband agreed to walk down with the east coast playboy. but you know what, the chick knew what she was doing. her husband married into the family and got handsy with all the cash he saw, and her lover was too naive for his own family to accept him. she ended it. and soon enough the morning came and hollywood started back up again.

── the santoro family have kept hold over the west coast for as long as they can remember. the head of the family has notoriously had multiple affairs with the lover for years. the family is more brawn than brains. they have contested control all the way down the west coast roughly past missouri. the west coast family have a major connection to south america and the police departments in every state they have a presence in. due to the amount of children in this family, there is a lot of infighting.
─ the husband/wife role is not a secondary head (like a beta.) they cannot take control/control the family unit unless specific instruction is given by the head.
─ the heir is the eldest child. no if's ands or buts about it.
─ not everyone on this page is family, a □ will symbolize that they are not blood related to any family member.

── not as sleazy as the west coast family, the diaz family don't pride themselves on having a large family to share all the profits from their work. it's a tight-knit new york mafia family that runs on old traditions. which is why only one cousin is included in work. unlike the west coast family, the east coast family have plans to uproot the western side of the board they play, due to numerous political connections - making them inherently smarter and more careful with their moves. (the infiltrator is part of the west coast family acting on a peace deal to marry one of the children and connect the two families.)
