Tutte have meat up with some very dear friends this evening and having a ball really for hours, they had talked about old times and drinking beer and they got pretty drunk during thatt ime so now he thought it was time to get some good sleep so he went to Sleeping Giants Apartment but were a bit surprised not spotting Rain anywhere even if we now moved to Chicago all so thought Tutte she would be here but she wasnt. Didint matter much since his key still worked to his apartment.

He took of his cloths and just had underwears on and he stepped into the bathroom to make some interesting things sitting down a moment, took a while but after he ha done that and the rest he put his body in bed and killed te lights and laid there and just let his minds going through all bad and great things happened todat, he slept in half an hour.

Kiddo forgot to get some of his things and check out of the The Sleeping Giants Apartment.  He packaged up the rest of stuff and continued to walk to front desk.kara was working and he paid his bill and explained he will be moving as of now she congadulated him and he ty her also.

He arrives to the entrance with the cab from Russo's bar til here, he pays up the driver and give him a quarter since he drove betetr wen asking him gently. He opens the door with his key he got from Rain if coming home when here were closed like now, he closed the frontdoor behind him and in silence he walks to the staircase and walks quitly up to the floor there his condo were, opens the door and close it behind him.

God so good it felt being here ahain, he really missed living in Detroit and took every moment he had to be here for even the smallest reason. After being at the toilet he took of his clothes and lay down, this was this day, nect day would be better since it was weekend now so he could sleep at least two extra hours which were very welcomed for him.

Stefano was back in Detroit and looking for Rain but was unable to find her.  He shook his head as he went to his apartment and sat down to listen to the radio.  The news was on and it told of the untimely departing of a young man and how he may have been connected to organized crime.  Stefano was sadden by the news and laid his head back looking u at the ceiling.  He would feel better if he knew Rain was okay.  She was a bit worried about her top soldier Bentley.  

Rain felt good as she walked into her apartment lobby. It was also nice to see so many old faces.  Since the crew had expanded to Chicago it had been awhile seen she had returned to Detroit.   She stopped to talk to a few friends and then checked on the staff in the business office.    Things were going well, no complaints and everything was up to date with the leases.

She finally made her way up to her apartment. The hospitality crew had done a very nice job in keeping her apartment in tip top shape.  The plants were all watered and looking very nice.  The apartment was well maintained while she was gone.

Rain kicked off her shoes and sat down at the desk in her small business area.  She picked up a stack of mail and messages, started looking through it making sure there was nothing there from Stefano_Lucchese, which needed attention.  Sure enough there was a message that said “woman where are you?”  A smile came to her face.   Finding nothing  else that needed her immediate attention , she sat the pile back down for another time.  

She went to the bar poured some apple pie moonshine over a glass of ice; turned on some music then went to her favorite recliner.   She picked up the phone next to it and dialed Stefano.

Stefano was in his apartment sitting on his sofa in his robe and smoking his corn pipe and reading War and Peace while sipping on some Cuban rum.  His phone started ringing putting the book down he answered it.

Hello?

Rain dammit lady I've been worried about you for a couple of days.

I know you can take care of yourself. 

Yeah I know, I know.

look caring about you is going to happen and as I said I care about you period.

What? 

You do?  That's good to know.  I'm glad that you do.  That makes me a bit more relaxed and excited.

Drinks sounds good.  How about drinks and dinner?  

You don't have to cook, we can order in or go out.  You don't want me cooking I make so good stuff don't get me wrong but I make a mess.  I'm talking flour on your kitchen ceiling.  

You would huh?  Ok I'll be over in a half hour.  

Stefano hung the phone up and went to take a shower.

Rain hung up the phone with @Stefano_Lucchese she was glad he was at his apartment here in Detroit. 

She was so happy to final be home here too that she really didn't want to go out anywhere for dinner.

She called Bonnie down at the Cafe , ordered two  dressed cheeseburgers and fries maybe a nice salad delivered to her apartment.  She told Bonnie not to worry about making anything special the burgers would be fine.  She also wanted them to be delivered in the regular to-go boxes, no fancy plate ware. 

Her plans were to make it simple.  Then sweet talk Stefano into taking her to the movies to see Top Hat, staring Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.

This way they wouldn't have anything to clean up and no excuses. 

Tutte nearly slept while coming into The Sleeping Giants Apartment, slow movement on his body meant he was mor than tired and needed to sleep of this to continue his work to grow bigger and be more at assitant to his wonderful boss Rain which he liked as his own mum nearly.

He stops by the office and speaks a bit with Rain and Stefano who also where there, they had a little conversation and then he went of and walked to his very own apartment to get some very much needed sleep.

Stefano woke up from a long needed deep sleep.  He was still tired but he had things that he had to get done before the new day was done.  He wanted to see Rain but knew that would be impossible to do today.  Slowly he rolled out of bed and walked into the bathroom to shower.  He turn on the hot water then a bit of cold until it was the way he liked it.   He stepped in and let the water run down his face down his body and into the drain.  He stood there as if the water was massaging his body.   He began to sing as he washed his body and then he heard the phone but he refused to go and answer it until he was done.  

After a few more minutes in the shower he stepped out and grabbed his towel drying himself.  He stood before the sink and started brushing his teeth then he looked at him self and realized he needed a shave and a haircut.  With a smirk he added that to his list of must do's.  He got dress and went down to the lobby to see what was on the restaurant menu.  Sitting down with his morning cup of coffee and the morning edition new paper he ordered two scrambled eggs, four strips of bacon and two slices of buttered toast.  He then began to read his paper until his order arrived.

Returning from laying flower on Rain’s and a few of her friend’s grave site Harper returned to the apartment.   She had some things redecorated but loved the way Rain had done everything.  She missed Rain a lot but just loved all the things she had acquired.  She wasn’t that sad any more just grateful.

She had seen a few downstairs in the lounge, so she changed into some jeans and headed downstairs to the lounge. 

She talked and laughed with a few people and had a drink.  She orders another one.  She thought she would just chill there until the poker game started.  That’s one thing she and Rain had in common, they both played poker well.

Lillis returns to check how The Sleeping Giants were going and also he missed Rain much but had coming over her death and meets up with Harper in the lobby and talks with her a bit, takes a scotch and talks about what to do next, we laughed and were both had the same thought that the situation right now surely were best to take it easy and just chill a moment.

Walks up to how his apartment were doing and it still were there, he checked it and emtpy the closet in the toilett and also in the small sink let the water drain a bit ao the sewer wouldnt let rats and shit coming up easyli.

Michael walked into Stefano's apartment and was hit with a smell that made him sick.  He immediately opened the windows up and then walked into the kitchenet and tossed out the old food and took it to the garbage can.   Then he went back into the apartment and then started looking around.  He found a few photo of a Rain a woman he learned that his brother had started a romance with but ended with both of them killed.  Michael looked over his brothers things and gave all his suits to Joey and Nick because they were the same height and build.  Funzi got the shoes because they had the same shoe size and Michael took his brothers watch and fedora's.  

He saw a hand written note that read

"8 pm Rain, movies and dinner tonight" 

Michael wondered what they saw and did they like it, what did they have for dinner and did they even get to go.  Shaking his head he wanted to avoid war.  

Furious_Wolf came to pick up some of Tuttes things but when he opened the door into his old room he saw some movemant of the floor, RATS! gah, not good, he took all things fast that he had promised and then he shut the door and locked it and never ever wanted to see this room again for any money in the world.

He had done as promised and now he drove to Tuttes parents to leave those dear things to them as it was written in Tuttes last word before death. It was a pretty descent day, the sun were about to come up so he put his sun-glases on and drove down to Bricktown where his parents lived now.

Harper headed back to Detroit.  She want to do a few things at the apartment building and lay some flowers on the grave sites of some of her friends. Although she knew them through Rain, they became friendly with her also. 

It was mid morning so the lobby was pretty quiet, although she did see some in the courtyard.  When she entered her apartment she was so pleased to see how well they took care of everything while she is away.

Before she really settled in to go through her mail she knew you had to go to the storeroom and have some furniture shipped to Las Vegas.    She need to get furniture shipped for Don Vitti and poor Roscoe was sleeping on his sofa waiting for his bedrooms and den furniture.

She was surprised to see so many beautiful pieces still available in the storeroom and can a difficult time choosing what to have shipped.   She finally decided what she wanted shipped and of course it was way more that she anticipated.  She could always store the extra pieces in an empty apartment for now.   

Still in his brothers apartment now sitting on sofa he looks up at the ceiling wishing that he was able to see HarperLane.   She was something to behold and yet a complete mystery to him.  He was starting to make headway with his rackets and his personal life was improving.  He always knew that money changes things but real money wealthy money does make life a bit easier to deal with.  The guys were working hard and the organization was prospering and Michael could relax just a little as thing progressed.   

He looked at the kitchen and went back to refill his glass of ice water then returned to the sofa but not before turning on the radio.  He liked listening to the morning news and hearing strange stories that were occuring around the country and world.  When the jazz music started playing he would close his eyes and hum along as if he was playing the sax.  He loved music and one day hoped to own a record label.  

Last time he was here he spotted massivle amount of rats and now when he was back he had come to a splendid idea, he had bought up pretty much ammunition and were now for some hour ready to target-practis by killing rats, he slowly goes into the empty house and irectly spot a rat and shoot and hit, 1-0 to him, he continues further in and hope he can fool some more to hit.

Harper was just waking up in her apartment when she received the news that Wolf was shot and killed.  She tried to get in touch with Michael-Lucchese but he wasn’t answering the phone.   Still in shock she tried to get dress.  Why hasn’t Michael called her?  She wondered if he had heard the new yet.  Surely if he knew he would call her.   Harper called the airlines to see when she could catch a flight back to Las Vegas.   The first one wasn’t available until 5pm that evening.  They told her she could come and stand by for an early one but Harper didn’t want to be stuck at the airport.  She made her reservations for the one at 5pm.

She paced the apartment floors a couple of time.  Although it was rather early she pour herself a drink to try and calm her nerves.  She made a couple more calls to see if she could locate Michael but no one seemed to know his whereabouts.

Harper sat down on the couch and just tried to relax.

Michael was out in New York when he heard the news that Wolf had been gunned down.  He was boarding his train and needed to get in touch with HarperLane.   The train ride was longer in his mind as he worried if she was safe.  He looked out the window and remained quite the entire ride back.  The men with him knew what he was thinking as they looked at his face.  They all hoped the Harper was okay.   They saw the look in Michaels face as he got angry each minute that went by.   

Michael looked at a locket he bought it had a stolen picture of Harperlane in it.   He had a photo taken of her at the grand opening of her apartment building in Vegas.  Then he had it placed in the locket.  It was what kept him sane when he was away on trips like this.  He leaned back his head looking at the ceiling of the train and wondered if he would hear her voice just once more.  He hoped to hold her hand one more time and see her smile.  

The trained stopped in Detroit and they got off and he called Harper but no one answered then he dialed again he sent Lou to get tickets to take them back to Vegas.  As they board the second train Michael prayed that she would be home when he got there smiling or crying as long as she was alive he was going to be happy.

It had been awhile since Alexus was in Detroit. The city hadn't changed much since the last time she was here.  A lot of different faces but life here hadn't changed. Again she walked into a beautifully decorated apartment. Her portfolio of properties included a variety of luxury now.  Sometimes she had to pinch herself just to make sure she wasn't dreaming.  She wondered when Victor_Lucchese would be arriving, hoping that she might be here when she arrived.  They were travelling separately lately trying to take care of everything that they had not seen each other in awhile.  She sure hoped things would settle down so they could spend some time together.  They had acquired so much and thing were falling into place so well, she was meeting so many new people, yet she felt so lonely. 

Victor arrived in Detroit by train he was tired and hungry.  He grabbed his luggage and walked over to the taxi cabs.  He was heading to the Sleeping Giants Apartment he was hoping to catch up with @ Alexus.  He looked at his watch and realized that he had not spent time with her in weeks.  His business dealing and site visits were not slowing down.  He looked at his black book and shook his head he didnt know how Michael or Stefano managed all this alone.  He would have to give Vincent more responsibilites and hire a few capo's to help with the collections of his savings and loan business.  He wanted to take a vacation with Alexus but her schedule kept her busy and he wondered if they would get anytime together.
