Cup and saucer in hand, Gianna finds an empty table at the window of the quaint little coffee shop near her family HQ.  Her clothing was casual, a pair of work pants, a grey t-shirt and a paint-splotched overshirt.   She'd spent most of the morning moving furniture into her new office and deciding where to put various decorations and art- all centered around one particular painting of note that was hung on the wall squarely above the credenza behind her desk.  She thought it was a perfect centerpiece for the room.  Sophisticated and fine, yet reminicent of the rustic beauty of her home country of Sicily.  She expected to field many compliments on it, but had promised to keep its artist a secret.  So, quite satisfied with the progress thus far that morning, Gianna settles in with her bold, black coffee and a notepad.  After a few refreshing sips, she begins to scribble notes for upcoming written pieces and plans for the HQ.

Skorpeonn walks in to the local coffee shop and notices a beautiful young woman sitting alone. He combs his hair back and walks over to her.

"Hello, How are you this fine evening?" he says as he extends his hand.

"The name's Skorpeonn and I work for The New Orleans Crime Syndicate. And you are?" he waits patiently.

Looking up at the voice greeting her, she then hops to her feet and smiles, offering a hand to shake his.

Ah, Signore Skorpeonn- I've heard of you from my own family.  I am quite new- but have been hired as the PR Officer for La Casa Rossa.  I am Gianna DeLuca, it is a pleasure. 

Slightly embarrased by her dissheveled appearence, she just tries to be professional and always show a good face for the family.

Smiles, and brushes his hair back again. Reaching in his pocket for a cigar, he offers one to the young lady

"Nice to meet you, Miss Deluca. I am very good friends with your Boss, CorbinRussell and Rizzle_Kicks." he says.

Lights up his cigar, he offers one to Gianna again

"You're in good hands with those two"

She politely declines, but motions for him to join her at the table.  As she takes her coffee cup in hand again, she nods.

Oh, I think so.  My father arranged for me to come to work for Corbin before he passed away- though I had no idea Signroe Russell had such plans for me.  I have many ideas for "marketing" the family as he would like done- I think things will work out very well.

Gianna takes a sip of her drink and watches the gentleman before her.

Tell me about yourself- I am trying to know everyone that I can, especially our good allies.

Skorpeonn sits with Gianna and puts the cigar he offered to her away, while puffing his.

"Well, I started out as a mere little gangster within the New Orleans Crime Syndicate. TheCancerousTumor saw some potential in me, so he promoted me to Left Hand Man. Since then the Right Hand Man, -RedForman-, has been having issues, so I have taken over the Right Hand Man position within the family for the time being. I don't know how long but that doesn't matter to me, I am here to do whatever the family needs."

Puffs his cigar and blows the smoke away from Gianna

Mafia_King walks into the local coffee shop after a long day of crime and sits down at a table in the far back corner. He orders himself a large black coffee and reads the paper. He usually starts with the obits just in case he would need to make an appearance. All of the sudden he gets a text from his boss. HANDLE THIS NOW it read. The next text was the details. Mafia_King jumps out of his seat spilling his coffee and leaving his paper. Off to handle business.

Skorpeonn see's a familiar face walk in and sit alone, he waves Mafia_King over

"Geez, that guy sits alone when we are here. Let's see if he walks over"

Drags from his cigar blowing the smoke away from Gianna

mk see's skorp gesture him over, as he gets up and heads over he stops and grabs a refill for his coffee.

hey skorp long time buddy how you been.?

Leo steps in from the street into the small coffee shop, lighting a smoke as he strolled up to the table Skorp, Gianna and MK sat.

"Hey Skorp, can't stop got business to attend to. Come see me in Detroit and we can catch up." Before Skorp could answer Leo turned to Gianna and smiled.

"Hi, I don't believe we have met, my name is Leo. I work out of Detroit, a bar in the docks. Here's the address." Leo handed Gianna a folded note, then turned and left the coffee shop, rushing off to get to business.

Aaron walks past the coffee shop and sees Gianna and Skorpeonn sitting at the table. Jumping out of the way of Mafia_King as he sprints out the door Aaron looks up at the bell above the door, still jingling, he shakes his head.

"Damned things annoy the hell outta me sometimes."

He walks over to the two at the table and smiles turning to Gianna first and kissing her hand, then over to Skorpeonn shaking his.

"Skorpeonn, always a pleasure, and Gianna, good to see you both. How've you two been?"

Aaron looks at Gianna again and grins.

"I see the guys didn't paint your offic quite the way you'd wanted after all eh?"

Gianna shakes her head and rolls her eyes.

They did their best- but I should have known to hire professionals.  The boys- I think they must have been drunk when they did the painting.  But it's alright, they will pay for it later when I have them re-arrange the furniture a few times- just for fun.

She motions for another seat at the table

Will you join us, Aaron?

Aaron smiles and nods taking a seat next to Gianna

"As if I could turn down an invite from such a beautiful young lady. What you need to do is make sure that when they're rearranging the furniture it ends up exactly how it started, see if they notice."

Reaches in his coat pocket and pulls out a silver flask with a faded boar's head on it and twists the cap offering it to everyone else at the table.

Laughing heartily, Gianna politely refuses the flask.

I will absolutely have to do that!  You are evil- but I like it!

She takes another sip of her coffee, wanting to finish it before it gets cold. 

I was just about to tell Skorpeonn about the interview tonight.  Which reminds me- why don't you come to the studio with us?  Perhaps someone will discover that handsome face of yours and put you in pictures.

Gianna gives him a wink.

Smiles as he takes a quick drink of his flask and then stashes it back away in his coat.

"I don't see why not, I'll try and be there. As for being put on TV, I don't do so well with public things, Grins, that's why I'm not the PR officer. I'd have to go and turn them down, besides, they don't need me breaking their cameras now do they?"

Mk pulls up a chair next to dianna and skorp and aaron and starts to sip on his coffee and began to pull out the paper again and look at the funny article..

so how have you guys been?

mk lights up a smoke and awaits there reply while laughing at the funny aritcles.

Aaron nods at MK

"I've been pretty good, all and all, got a good nights sleep last night with a good woman who woke up before me and had an amazing breakfast ready by the time I got out of bed, so in all honesty, I can't complain."

Snatches up a young boy passing by then pulls a $100 bill out of his pocket

"Hey there lad, do me a favor and go grab us 2 boxes of bagels and keep the rest to get your parents something nice will ya?"
