Vince stood outside the diner smoking, the place was one of those nice dives, and the owner doesn't mind business, but someone goes to light up a fag and the guy throws a fit. Vince blew out smoke in a sigh and then ground the but out on the heel of his shoes.
Mostly he came outside to smoke as an excuse to get to look around a bit. The bathrooms didn't have an exit, and he always liked know who was about and what they were doing. One more breath of crisp night air and he walked back inside, trying not to slouch, but not to act like he owned the place either.
He was just here to 'meet a guy' and that guy was late.
Vince was stuck to coffee, he knew he'd be driving tonight and he didn't want to chance getting picked up for being drunk, that was the last thing he needed. He was concentrating so hard on looking for the man he was supposed to be here to meet that he almost didn't see the other figure until he had approached the table.
Deciding that the FOB routine was the best course of action, he looked up and said quietly. "Commendatori Signore." |

Adrian, running late as usual, woke up from his "power nap" and excused himself from his lady friend. He put on his nicest suit, and got in his car. Not knowing exactly what to think of the man he was meeting, he had his chauffeur drop him off around the corner, and walked the rest of the way to the meeting point. He saw a man lighting up, and figured that must be the guy he was looking for. He went up to him, straightening his tie, and introducing himself.
Name's Adrian...you can call me Champ. You Vince? |

Vince made sure his Italian bronx accent was heavy and answered. "Si." He offered the pack to 'champ.' "Fag?" Once he had the man situated, he decided to get down to business. "This isn't a good place to talk, the guy leaning on the car over there is not friendly." Vince nodded slightly at the man he knew to be a cop. |

Adrian respectfully declines.
No thanks, I've never gotten into the whole nicotine thing. Don't worry about that guy though. Observe.
Adrian walks over to the cop, pulling a wad of cash out of his jacket pocket, and "shaking" the cop's hand. He has a laugh with him, pats him on the back, and watches as he makes himself scarce. He walks back over to Vince with a grin on his face and laughs.
With a little smile, and a lot of cash, one can make anything happen. If you'd prefer talking somewhere else anyway, I understand. |

Vince can't help but like the guy. "I had to bring in some help, so we might be better off inside. They are waiting for us." Vince is still a little unable to trust Champ entirely. "This guy comes highly recommended and they say that he's Como se Dice? " Vince mutters to himself trying to translate the word he's thinking. "Level-headed...mostly." |

Vince points to the 7 foot block of muscle behind him. "They said he might come in handy, and now I understand why." Vince pointed to the table in the corner. At the corner table was a well-built young man the 'guy' they were here to meet. "Remember, the boss would prefer this go down without too much trouble. We need to know when the drop is and where." |

Vince slid into the seat, Keeping his hands mostly visible, he didn't know exactly how far to trust either of the men. "All I got from the boss Adrian is that he wants the info, one way or another. he'd prefer without a fuss, but what we get affects the mission."
Vince wasn't used to people he had barely met running the show but that was part of the deal. It was just, at the moment, All the promises in the world would not make him believe they were good men. They had to prove that. |

A cocky smile spreads across Adrian's face as he looks at Commander.
NOT capiche, you might be a big man, but The Champ doesn't sweat you, nor does he run blindly into a situation without being told, at least a little bit, about what he's getting into. If that's the way it is, you can count me out. |

Thanks, Vince that's all I needed.
Adrian doesn't sit down, but instead leans against his seat, staying as much in control of the situation as he can.
No offense fellas, but I don't know you well enough to sit down. My trust is earned, and at the moment you haven't earned it. |

"Facile," Vince says. "Look, the Job is to get this piccolo bambino to tell us where the drop is. If we get that information then we can move on to the actual job, but we have to get the info first." Vince lowers his voice. "La mia parola, I won't leave you in the dark. But it is no good preparing for something if it doesn't happen." |

You know what...no, *I* apologize. I lost my cool. You got a job to do, and I didn't respect that. Forgive me. Let's move on past this. Call me Adrian, my good man. And to be honest, I was sweating you a bit. Adrian winks
Let's start this meeting the right way.
Adrian sits down, his hands also still visible. |

Vince smiles at Adrian.
"Now, you have some information we need." Vince keeps his ears open, his mouth shut, taking an interest in the others in the room, making sure that they are not going to get involved. He knows there are at least a few cops, and a few of his godfather's boys, so this had to go easy. |
