It was a slow day in Summerlin and Tony had made his way outside to sit on the sidewalk in front of his Taste of New York Delicatessen. He looked around to see some of the repairs still being made to certain buildings from the fighting that had happened in Las Vegas recently. He kicked a pebble as he sat down. 

He had watched as @Shaggs, @VictoriaValium, @Prof-V-Jameson, and @Jones packed up the Mystery Van to head on over to the Strip to set up business. Now Summerlin felt just a bit empty to him as he looked around the streets. Tony was happy for the new opportunities that arose for Prof-V-Jameson and Jones, but it was still a bittersweet day for him. A dog ran up to him and tried to lick his face, but he gently pushed the dog aside. 

Just momentts later he had a shadow looming over him. He looked up and it was none other than @Frankie-Messina in an elegant dress. She shook her head at him and put out a hand to help him stand up. 

"Why the long face Tony? Aren't you glad to see me?" She spoke with a small smirk appearing on her face.

Tony dusted off his trousers as he rose to his feet with Frankie's assistance. He looked up at the early morning sky and finally back at Frankie before speaking, "Oh I'm very happy to see you here Frankie. I assume that means you have gotten my messages that I sent over. I was hoping that you'd come find me."

Frankie looked at Tony with a bit of confusion in her eyes as he walked over and peered inside his own delicatessen's window. Finally he turned around and leaned against the big storefront window...

"I was hoping that even with everything that happened here in Las Vegas. Especially with the departure of Shaggs to the strip, that you might consider coming to join me back here in Las Vegas. I need somebody to run a good crew alongside mine. I've heard tales of your relative and mentor creating a certain tower that was very well liked and respected. If their lessons and experience sit within you then I'm sure you can follow in their footsteps. So what do you think?"

He watched as her face went through the emotions of confused, then surprised, happiness, sadness, and then finally on something that resembled being content and hopeful. She walked straight up to Tony and extended her hand to him in one quick movement. He shook it now with a bit of confusion on his face since she had not said a word.

"I'd be extremely honored to come back and work alongside you in Las Vegas. I know that Lucky Lucy would be proud of what I've accomplished." Her smile grew exponentially as it all really hit her that this was happening. 

"I know you'll do great here in Summerlin. I cannot wait to see what you can accomplish. I have gotten to know you very well since we moved here to Las Vegas from the Bronx and there aren't many others I would trust with this. So why don't you go get started." Tony drops a pair of keys into Frankie's hands and points across the street at a large building.

"I saw the place was for sale one day when working here at my deli. So I figured I'd invest in it just in case I ever needed it one day. It seems that day has finally come." Frankie snatched the keys and ran across the street causing a few drivers to honk their horns in the process.

This was the beginning of something new in Summerlin...

Sullivan watched as Frankie ran across the street, drivers honking and flipping her the bird as they did. It made the man smile to see her happy. At least one of them remained in better spirits, and it meant he could do what he'd promised his late wife and help make the Messina's something of a staple in this New Land of opportunity. He turned and looked at TonyCastelli who was watching and laughing as well. Sullivan bowed his head in respect to the man and approached, offering his hand.

"I thank you for trusting in my cousin... I promise we won't let you down. Nice to finally meet you properly, Mr. Castelli. I'm Sullivan Black, Frankie's family by marriage." He looked behind him as Frankie unlocked the doors and made her way inside.

"I suppose I should catch up with her. You won't regret this opportunity, I can promise you that. The Messina's are an influential bunch. It was my honor to be married to one." He looked back and nodded to Tony before releasing his hand, closing his eyes and hiding the sorrow, inclining his head yet again before circling away to jog across the street and disappear inside the building with Frankie.

After lounging a bit in the back of the Mystery Van, he knew where Shaggs stored the key, AlejandroGuevara in his mind was looking back at his time in Summerlin. It was a long time ago that he moved with Shaggs to the central district, so some memories were already becoming hazy. He did remember seeing how Frankie-Messina licked TonyCastelli in the face though and he also remembered watching the sudden re-appearance of a dog in a dress, one that had been away for a while. It made Alex nostalgic, so he moved to the driver's seat and decided he would take the van to Summerlin for the afternoon.

Just having started his short journey through the Strip, he suddenly had to hit the brakes, as a drunk James was apparently thinking the side-walk was wider than it was. Alejandro hit the horn, expecting a low, monotonous warning signal, but instead was surprised by the cheerful sound that emerged.

That must have been something Prof-V-Jameson experimented with.. Alejandro thought, as he stepped back on the gas, evading James. As he stopped for a zebra-crossing, he noticed Monika chasing a cow.. tackling it, beating it.. Whispering something nasty as the blooding beef was laying spread out over the kerb.

Groovy.. Alejandro mumbled, and he slowly accelarated again.

He looked around as he cruised slowly, and dove behind the steering wheel when he saw VictoriaValium walking next to Vic. As if hiding his head would help somehow in the thos Vic's not noticing someone had 'borrowed' the orange purple green van without permission. Before actually reaching Summerlin, Alex saw Kaira and TheButcher counting some money, as if they just robbed an art gallery together.

He whistled as he thought of how pretty they looked.

As he saw Preeyah explaining Junebug how stuff actually works in a grown-up-world, Alex pulled over..

Do you happen to know where Tony is, he asked. And as he asked, he already spotted TonyCastelli's eyebrow doing a fishhook lift, wondering what that Van did there without Shaggs. Alejandro decided it was better to ignore difficult questions and simply said

Hi Tony, as you know, I am not a man of time or morale.. So.. Excuse me being late, I always am.. As you know.. 
But in the end, I did come around to see how you are doing in Summerlin! So. How are you?
I wanted to congratulate you with getting your own cr.. goat..?
