As Al continued his walk, he finished up his conversation with Joey and lit up a cigarette. They talked about the upcoming consignment pick up. Joey surely gave him a heads up on the mishaps he had with his previous consignments. 

Al thanked Joey for the chat and kept walking, enjoying the cool morning air and the peacefulness of the city. As he rounded the corner, he caught the scent of freshly brewed coffee, and his mouth watered. He looked around for a coffee shop and spotted Sunshyne Cafe.

He walked in and was immediately struck by the ambience of the place. It was cozy and welcoming, with soft lighting and a peaceful atmosphere. He walked up to the counter and ordered a breakfast of French toast, bacon, and sausages, along with a cappuccino.

As he waited for his food, he sat down at a table and picked up a newspaper that was lying nearby. He scanned the headlines, taking in the news of the day, but his mind kept drifting back to the consignment pickup and the importance of it going smoothly without any trouble. While at it, he ringed Vera and Mikey and asked them to make sure there was double security for everything scheduled to happen today. 

Soon enough, his food arrived, and he dug in, savoring the delicious flavors of the breakfast. The coffee was rich and smooth, and it warmed him from the inside out. He felt a sense of peace settle over him as he ate, grateful for this moment of calm before the chaos of the day began.

After sometime, Al finished up his breakfast and paper reading and headed out
