Philip didn't want Salvie gone...ppl. misunderstand him when he said that Salvie made him "sick" when he was around him b-4 he got hit....Philip was "sick" b-cause , it was Salvie who close to him.....& the fact that he could not do anything about the hit....which made him more "sick"...after the hit , Philip's mother Nancy (Scarfo's sister) badgered Phil about how he (Phil) could have let this happen...Salvie's death was the seed that brought that whole regime down...everyone was putting their antenna's up & knew that if Scarfo could hit Salvie , he could hit any one of his own ppl.
