I have a few points positive with La Cosa Nostra. How do I meet their leader?

Another ques: How do I contact the faction group to ask about someone on a hideout. e.g. I have good standing with order of socrates and went to ask in the mayor's office but there was no option to ask about the missing person.

Yes, for the most part the only advantage of factions if you are unsubbed is getting the special skill they offer and purchasing some very expensive items that can be gotten through favors. Subbed detectives use factions to start treasure hunts, and some skills they offer are only useful in treasure hunts (La Cosa Nostra's safe cracking is an example).

There is one other advantage to factions available to the detective with the highest faction standing for the day, but it is kept secret.

Actually, some items can only be received from a faction...and the better you know them, the lower the cost is for that item. :)
