			On a night in 1927 February, at the [[Café de Paris]], Thaddeus met with an associate, [[Whitwell]], who owed money to Thaddeus. Gift threatened the man's life and implied that a delay was possible if Whitwell "brought" his wife, [[Melissa Whitwell\|Melissa]], to meet him. Once Whitwell left to retrieve his wife, Gift received a calling card, which had the image of a black cross. Worried, he ran out of the nightclub before meeting Mrs. Whitwell and told the chauffeur to get his driver. However, as he entered his car, he was immediately taken from the hood of his car by a chain from above.<ref name="T1"/>
