Tony Gattuso (De Facto Boss)
Time: Evening
Place: Rita's Bar - Bolton's area
Character: Jossie Rice, Laureano Oubiña
Tag: Ridge , Elucid

"- Just a glass of gin, Freddie. I'll be sitting over there."

Tony said to the robot bartender before he found his booth and sat inside, not so long ago a robot waiter brought the drink up to him. One hand held his drink up to his lip while another on his forehead, rubbing it trying to ease down his stress. Being a boss wasn't as he think, it wasn't easy at all. It's been 3 months since Tony Gattuso sat on the big chair and the longer he's on it the more he understood his former boss. No wonder the old man turned sick, the job itself was stressful as hell. On one side a boss has to keep everyone of his family in line, another is to maintain respect from the other four families. Tony doesn't know if he could keep up like the old man did, or he would wind up lying on his own blood, or behind a cell bar after a member of his family testify to the court. Thinking about it made him feel even worse.

"- Jo. Where are you ? There is something I'd like to discuss with you, now. Meet me in half an hour at Rita's, it's in Bolton. And drag Laureano's ass here too if you can find him, okay ?"

Put out his phone, Tony rested his head on the couch. He was thinking of something, something bothering him greatly.

Rita's Bar was one of the most favorite bar and restaurant in Bolton, Neo Fontain. It frequented by many mafia figure, mostly from the Libero's family. The name come from Rita herself, a mistress of the boss, she had passed away long time ago but this place was still here serving the family. Unless you're lucky enough to see the manager, mostly you'll be greeted and served by robots servant, the bartender was a robot whom the regulars gave a friendly name "Freddie".

"- Mister Laureano and miss Jossie. Mister Anthony has been waiting for you in booth number 1."

When Jo and Laureano got into the bar, Freddie welcomed them with a robotic, programmed voiced. As both of them took a look, Tony's already there with his drink.

"- You know, it's in page one of made guys manual, you guys shouldn't make a boss wait that long."

Finger nails tapped on the table with a small click click, lips pursed with a nude coloured lip stick and eyes squinted, the curved woman sat in her usual chair. As the phone rang her hands softly grasped it and placed it to her ear. Nodding once she put the phone down as the conversation ended and she stood herself up. Leaning down she grabbed the ties on her boots, a small knot soon appearing as they were tightened to the fullest extent. Yet the most important thing was her putting the two of her most trusted friends into their holders on her thighs. Emerald and Diamond, duel revolvers that she loved more than anything. “Laureano, business calls!” She shouted before her heels began to click on the floor. Her strides were long and graceful, a trench coat in the shade of an oak brown covered her shoulders before she headed out.

The bar was lit up as usual, it was an old friend so to say. Her old business center, a paradise for thieves and the like. Yet she was more than that now, a solider in small terms. Once directed toward the table her eyes caught sight of their dear Tony. She smiled her normal charming grin before removing her coat and sitting herself down. One leg over the other her hand rested on the table as she lent over to Tony. “Oh honey, I’m sure you’d wait an enternity for us or possibly just me.” A smal giggle soon escaped as she leant back into the booth seat gazing at both Tony and Laureano in turn.

Mood: Neutral | Currently: At Rita's Cafe | With: Jossie Rice & Tony Gattuso | Mentions: Ridge , Sopranos

​

The day wasn't turning out to be so great for Laureano, the guy he'd usually get the booze for the bar from had suddenly decided to pack up and skip town leaving him with no dealer and an under stocked counter, on top of that some union guys in one of the building he'd invested in decided to organise a strike making a project already behind schedule, lag further. You could imagine his frustration then, when he was asked to meet Don Gattuso, just as Laureano was in the middle of a business deal with this new guy that'd agreed to sell him alcohol at the same rates as before. Laureano though, knew that meeting the Don was not something he could pass up on and so he wen't all the way across town to Rita's Cafe in Bolton.
When he'd get there , he'd find Jossie Rice waiting for him before going in to meet the man. Although he'd never admit it , she intimidated him quite a bit, he'd never seen anyone that loved their guns half as much as Jessie did.

With Freddie's guidance he got to the booth where Don Tonny was already seated with a glass of gin in his hands. Tony said something about them being late and before Laureano could come up with some sorta answer to that question Jossie did what she always does, not to anyone's benefit.

Ignoring, or at least trying to ignore what she'd said , Laureano tried to find an excuse for why he'd been late.
"Umm, yeah *ahem* sorry for keeping you waiting boss , the drive here was kinda hectic. You know, with traffic these days."

"- I'm kidding with you, L, relax."

Tony put up a little smirk. Having close ties with this crew before allowed him to be easy with them. He knew that he already had their respect. But to be honest, he just hoped that the old man could recover from his sickness soon and he wouldn't have to say something like what he just said again.

"- Oh still have the nice manner, huh Jossie ?" - Tony said, he knew her too well already.

He waited for both to sit down.

"- You two want anything ? You have dinner yet ? Or a drink ?"

After both ordered something, Tony continued.

"- Now I'm gonna tell you a story, and I hope that you can help me. I heard that there is some tough situation in your crew. Things are messed up over there. Tino and Derek are having a beef."

Stopped for a while, Tony looked across his two soldiers, searched their eyes and tried to see if they'd already known about this. He kept up.

"- Tino has always been unhappy being under Derek. Before Derek's time, this crew was Alessandro's crew, you know, Tino's old man. So when old man Sandro died, Tino thought that he's gonna get the leadership, back then he's like 19 or 20, I forgot. But then Don Frankie put Derek on the big seat on that crew and everybody respected that decision. To be honest, I do too, Derek is a role model, top earner and he has been taking good care of you guys. But Tino is also a good guy, he's a stand up guy, I grew up with the guy so I know. He wouldn't be pissed without a good reason, and sometime Derek makes things a little difficult for him too."

He rubbed his head while looking at Jo and Laureano.

"- Now what you can do is to ease the tension, and report to me about them. With the old man is in that hospital bed, I don't wanna make any difficult decision yet. You two calm them down whenever they have another disagreement. Derek can be a little cagey sometime and Tino is wild, it's up to you guys to calm them down if they think of going ballistic. Think about Don Frankie, the boss of this family, who is suffering from his sickness. Don't let this add to his stress, to this for him, for you boss."

Tony then took a sip of his glass.

"- You understand what I'm saying ? I'm asking this, as a personal favor that you two can do for me, and this family."

Jossi gazed at Tony as he mentioned if they’d eaten or had a drink. Thinking on it, Jossi hadn’t, so raising her hand over to Freddie she smiled her normal grin. “I’ll take my usual. The killer apple pie. Cream not ice cream remember.” She sat for a moment glancing at the two she was with. There was always something about the two of them that kept her mind guessing. She knew Tony reasonably well, but Laureano was still a slight mystery to her. He seemed reserved and content most of the time but there is always time for change.

When the pie arrived she picked up her spoon topping it with a small chunk of pie and a dribble of cream. As she was about to enjoy the sweet treat, the situation between Derek and Tino was brought up. She paused with the spoon centimetres infront of her lips before she placed in back down looking Tony straight in the eye. The story continued as her sight soon fell slightly.

It was hard for all the family to know one of the best was ill, everyone showed eachother love and comfort that landed side by side with discipline and that is how a family should be. When Tony finished she finally took the bite of her apple pie with a small smile. After finishing she spoke. “Honey, we are family. It ain’t no favour, it’s what we do.” Looking to Laureano she shared the same smile.

​

Laureano had known about the beef between Tino and Federico, but he'd never guess that it was as bad as the Don was making it out to be, sure Tino was wild sometimes but even he'd know that messing with a captain, especially when that captain was Federico would be a death sentence. Whatever his reservations on the matter might be, one thing was clear.The Don was worried and if the Don want's Laureano to keep an eye on that trigger happy Tino and Capo Federico then he'd do it.

Tony had just finished speaking when Jossie started to peddle that family bullshit, Laureano never really bought into any of that. As far as he was concerned this was like any other business, you did the job, you got paid.

"Sure thing, Don Gattuso. Like Jossie said, we a family. we'll be sure to keep an eye on the guys, although I don't think anything big's gonna happen. Well then, unless there's something else, I should be on my way. Got some errands to run for the bar, which reminds me, you should really drop by there sometime. Drinks are on the house."

Laureano hadn't seen Jessie's ride parked outside so he figured it'd be courteous to offer her a ride , "You need a ride J? , I've gotta go back to Grey Island but i'm sure I can make a detour."

"- I know that you two wont let me down."

Tony said with a more relaxing tone. He had told the two soldiers thing that he concerned and as much as he needed to, Tony hated talking business outside. He wasn't a 24/7 mafioso and sometimes talking business too Timuch was something he didn't enjoy. But then the night didn't end with him yet, the meeting was just an opening, there were someone else he had to meet here later.

"- Oh right and I know that you two are both busy, it's my busy season too. L, if you have any problem with the union guys down there, let me know okay."

He noticed that Laureano was always on the run due to the business he's into. Then he turned to Jo too, his message to her was something more personal since she knew Tino more than Laureano.

" - And yea, Jo. If you can call Tino, tell him his fiancee called. The poor girl called everyone she knew asking why her future husband is not home."

With a little worry mixed with disappointment, Tony told Jo. Tino being like this was not something odd, he was distracted sometimes. Especially when he couldn't keep his head cool. This was one of the reason his problem with Federico needed to be resolved soon as possible. Tino was a good man and no doubt he loved his fiancee, but the poor bastard was careless sometimes.

"- Okay now you guys can go. There is someone I have to see in a few minutes."

As the boss dismissed his two soldiers, you both could see a sight of a man walked to the booth when you leave, someone familiar... It was Jimmy Olsson, the second brother in the Olsson brothers and one of the boss in the Olsson Outfit.

Federico "Derek" Rossi
Time: Everning
Place: Buona Fortuna Restauran - Greenbrook
Character: Jack and Jill O'Doyle, George Serverance
Tag: Ridge , Elucid

Derek loved it here, Buona Fortuna Restauran in Greenbrook. The owner of this place was actually one of his favorite business partner, but if that was the only reason. The food, the service, everything was wonderful to him here. Every week, he came here, whether with his friends or wife and kids or a girl friend, didn't matter. The chef had this one special lamb dish that kept him coming back and coming back for years and years, and week to week he no matter what he ordered, he got to have that dish as one of his main dish.

But tonight, as he's already here, he hadn't ordered yet. He was on the phone.

"- Eh, ain't that Sev, my favorite british asshole. Hey listen, I got some news and I need to talk to you right away. And reach our friends the twin, tell them to be here with you too. You already know the place, in Greenbrook, my favorite place. Be there."

The captain of the Libero family was waiting for someone.

Jossi sat finishing off her pie with a smile as sweet as the cream smacked across her face as L and Tony varied in speaking. Pushing the plate away with the spoon laid on top she gazed at the two before nodding to Tony when they were excused. As the offer of a ride came along she thought for a moment. “A new knight in shining armor.” Giggling lightly her head turned to Tony as he addressed her. Sighing sarcastically she shrugged her shoulders before giving a wink. “Course I’ll give him a call. Still think he should marry me.” Rolling her eyes with a grin she looked back to Laureano, eyeing him up and down for a moment she gazed beyond him seeing the shadow by the door. “It’s fine, I’m gonna drop in and see someone. Goodnight honeys.”

Stepping her way past Laureano she watched as jimmy walked past. There was noting but a steely look from Jo to him, he wasn’t part of her family and there fore wasn’t deserved of her affection or emotion. As she exited the bar the cool breeze swept her hair way from her face. Her lips pursed for a moment as she began to walk into the night. But not before giving a wink to Laureano as he left the bar too. Streets echoed with the sound of her boot heels, like the beginning of thunder storm, her coats collar was curled up so it hid the fairness of her cheeks and the bridge of her nose.

She continued to walk for a long while before reaching the building she was intending to reach. With her hand curled over she knocked with the edge of her knuckle. “Tino sweet. It’s Jo, you in?” Only a simple question but one that she sounded serious about.

Jills Garage...
The sound of electrical clicks filled the air of the garage as jill tapped the welding torch to the steel plating causing a popping sound accompanied by a bright flash. She wore thick leather gloves, with black goggles, but aside from that she seemed horrendously underdressed to be welding, wearing only a tank top and some daisy dukes with a pair of steel toe boots. The flashes and clicks stopped as Jill raised the goggles out of her eyes letting them rest on her firey red-orange dreadlocks. Stepping back from the bench she pressed a button the button console dangling from the ceiling, slowly the workbench decended into the pool of oil to quench the long rod that sat on it. The hiss of superheated metal filling the air made Jills nostrils flare and her lip quiver in satisfaction. Rising from the pool with the press of a button was a shiny and chrome hunk of metal that resembled a chain gun, but with only a single barrel. Smiling at the sleek beauty of the frame she turned to walk towards the electronics bench so she could begin work on the circuitry. "Jack? You here?" after waiting and hearing no response she rolled her eyes, shrugged and pulled the goggles back over her eyes picking up her sodering tool and heading to the second workbench.


West 34th Underground Venue.

Parked outside of the old boxing Gym several expensive looking cars adorned the sidewalk. At the door stood a very subtly armed man, but a trained eye could see the bulge of the triple barreled 10 gauge shotgun, ready to free a man of his mortal form at a moments notice. Yet the main event was inside, in the center of a sea of people. Jack was in the ring and he was in trouble... This guy had at least 8 inches of reach on him, and he was having a hard time seeing out of his recently swollen left eye. Even still a smile was plastered on his face, granted his teeth were stained with blood, but that seemed almost a normality for jack. That was when he spotted his opening, the man cocked his fist back for a knockout punch and was very surprised when Jack headbutt his incoming fist resulting in the sickening sounding crunch of the mans hand. Now dizzy and pissed off jack pressed forward, wrapping one hand around the mans throat and placing the otherone on the small of his back. With a yell of effort he lifted the larger man straight up and brought him down on the ring. Then he mounted him striking over and over with brutal and unnessicary hammer fists. Eventually the ref stepped in and declared jack the winner of his third concecutive match. Half the crowd cheered, the other half groaning in frustration. Stepping out of the ring Jack made a beeline towards the host of the event and held his hand out. "Next time bring someone who's gonna make me work for it." he said with a grin as the host set an envelope with 5 G's in jacks hand. "of course Jack, I'll have someone for ya next week say hi to the fam for me." jack nodded to the hosts words and stepped out patting the bouncer on the back as he got into his vehicle. Looking in the rearview mirror he began to laugh, Jill was gonna have a Fit when she saw his face looking this bad. The sound of his tires screeching drowned out his laughing as he sped towards the Garage.

A dapper young man strolled down the street. He was suited up in some fine wool suit, looking as if the price tag had just been removed. His hair was slick and his beard trimmed. He clearly had mula in his pockets.

This young chap went by the name of George. This ‘George’ had just received a phone call from one of his ‘associates’ in the ‘business’. This ‘associated’ wanted this ‘George’ to call up some more of his ‘associates’ for a private little ‘meeting’ in a respectable place of ‘business’.

The Brit placed a finger towards his ear. The chap adjusted a headset of som sort, and soon he was dealing up some people he was still suppose to make first impressions with. He waited, and waited, hoping that he might be patched through.​

Jill was lost in her work when the ringing in her ear snapped her out of her trance like focused state. Grumbling a curse she answered the call by tapping her ear. "Jills Garage, this is Jill speaking how can i help you." she said in a polite and professional tone. She attempted to get back in the zone and keep working but the sound of her idiot brother pulling up let her know that wasnt gonna happen. So she sighed walking away from the table and grabing a towel from a hook on the wall.

Meanwhile....
Jacks tires came to a screeching halt as he pulled into the alleyside driveway parked perfectly straight despite his breakneck turn into the narrow alley. He stepped out of the car temporarily removing the lit cigar from his mouth. After a breif struggle with the key he barged in the door with a shout. "Guess who just paid rent!!!" his matter of fact tone carrying into the garage. He stopped when he realized Jill was on the phone, and she had a wrench in her back pocket... A dangerous time to attempt conversation. Shrugging he tossed the envelope on the seat of a swivel chair and proceeded to raid the fridge.​
