History:  (100 Bullets #23-25) - Augustus Medici called a meeting of the Trust in Atlantic City after learning from Mr. Shepherd that in addition to Agent Graves, Cole Burns of the Minutemen was still alive. Benito Medici met with Megan Dietrich, and she told him to stop trying to act like Shepherd and looking at him like a father figure. She said he wasn't cut out to be a tough guy, and he was better off learning from Augustus than one of his soldiers. They met Daniel Peres at the pool, and Peres worried that Benito didn't appreciate the vision of his father. Benito asked him why Augustus tried to eliminate the Minutemen, and Peres said it was for the good of the Trust and advancing their success and money gains. . Mia Simone arrived, and took Peres, Benito and Megan out to dinner. Daniel ahd to call an early night to keep up on financial business. Once the 13 families arrived Augustus began the meeting, reminding everyone of how the Minutemen was created to keep them in check, to make sure no family turned against the other. He said they once they started trusting each other the Minutemen became obsolete, and an impediment to their success. Javier Vasco felt the Minutemen had been necessary, and Augustus knew he felt that way because the group once settled a bloody dispute between his family and that of Axe Nagal, but assured him they were no longer needed. He denied that Graves and any other surviving Minutemen were a threat, and Daniel Peres told him Graves would come after him first because they'd once been close friends. Peres got a call, and said he had urgent business to attend to, but since he insisted on leaving the meeting Augustus told Megan Dietrich to accompany him. She complied, but left him when she saw Benito Medici on a gambling binge. Peres' threat was given at the command of Agent Graves, who wanted to make sure he did as promised. Graves introduced him to Cole, thanked him, and then stabbed him to death.
