Beep ... Beep ... Beep. Tommys alarm went off,today he had a meeting with an old friend who had just joined his family,Tony Gruttci. "Auugh!" Tommy yawned as he shut his alarm clock off. The clock said 6:30.Tommy being a real gentlement clean type of guy,would need atleast three hours to get ready .. his meeting was scheduled at 10:30 and Don Tie's Maple Leaf. Tommy had worked there in his spare time when he wasnt out killing people or collecting payment ... Payment ... That is what this meeting was for,Don Tie had told Tommy to go down the strip and collect from all the small time casinos,other than GodMother Aroura's casino,he got protection money from the rest,and I was sent to collect it ...   "I swear I hope he doesnt have me out collecting like this once I'm Made,I mean hell,I'm already a Wise Guy .. couldnt he get some goomba to do it?" Tommy talked to himself as he was in the shower. "Oh well,what the Don says,goes." He mumbled after a few minutes. After about an hour in the shower,he dried himself off,put on his boxers,pants,shirt socks and shoes,it wasnt until righ before he walked out the door that he put on his coat,fedora,and tie. As he walked downstairs he made sure his pistol was loaded,it was as always. He walked out and got into his Cadillac,started the ignition,lit a smoke,and drove to the cafe.
