[@Peik] Yes, you're good to go.

The situation, as far as your characters are concerned, is essentially this:

There are twelve major crime families throughout the city, (which you're free to elaborate on). The first lieutenant (second-in-command) of every family has been marked with a $200,000 bounty, which is not insignificant.

These bounties have been offered by a mystery organization from Philadelphia, from a contact known only as "Stage," with a phone number.

Your character may (or may not) have heard rumors about a rising organization in Philadelphia that may (or may not) have something to do with Mallory's disappearance from Continental Management seven years ago, but all of that is just coincidence, rumor, and hearsay. As far as the overall "community" is concerned, Mallory is dead and gone.

The Continental is still the only real "safe zone" in the city, but otherwise, things are open to do with as your characters see fit. With this new information, your characters are encouraged "to do that voodoo that you do, so well."
