Dusty had finally gotten herself settled into the city of Detroit. It felt just like she imagined home would feel like but now she was starving. After unpacking boxes and working all day the last thing she really wanted to do was cook, so she found herself in the business district looking for a decent place to eat.

Walking for a little while before she paused outside of the Ristorante della famiglia Tanzini. Pausing long enough to look around before she stepped through the doors. Listening to Tommy before nodding and finding a quiet spot. She sat so she could see who was coming through the door. Settling her purse between her feet and sitting back in her chair.

After being settled for a few minutes the waitress comes over and Dusty brushes her hair out of her face. Smiling politely.

"Would you happen to have a burger and fries by any chance? If so I would like that and a water if you wouldn't mind."

Dusty watched the waitresses face just before she left the table. She was satisfied in knowing that her order was at least sent to the kitchen and she could really use that water. It was such a hot day outside and water sounded heavenly right about now, but she'd probably get a stiff drink later on.

Dusty was a bit startled to see Tommy coming back with her drink instead of the waitress. She quickly covered her surprise with a smile. Brushing her hair out of her face once more.

I appreciate it. Really I do.

She gratefully takes a sip of her water as she waits for the meal. She was absolutely starving and it was nice to be in Detroit, eating at a family owned place. She hoped her business construction could be as beautiful as what she was looking for.

Dusty merely chuckled at the black eye. She could see his sullen look but when words didn't work sometimes kids listened better to fists. She passed a grateful smile over to Tommy.

This looks absolutely wonderful. At least they make up for slowness in making great food.

Taking another sip of her water as she nodded.

I will let you know for sure but I imagine it will taste as good as it looks. At least I hope so.

With a chuckle she picked up her burger and took a bite out of it. She was right of course, the food was absolutely delicious and she quickly devoured it. After she had finished she tidied the table for the waitress before she gathered her things. Stopping where Tommy was sitting.

It was great. Thank you.

Appelsap was walking through the streets that had been empty a week ago. But now there where some new businesses around the city, so Appelsap needed to visite some of them. This was why Appelsap walked into Ristorante della famiglia Tanzini, It seemed like the right place to start of his long night in detroit. 

While Appelsap walked into the business he sees that it was a nice big open place. so he walks to a nice table at the center of the place and a waitress walked up to him. 

"Can I get you something  for you? " she said 

Appelsap thought about that for a second but then he knew what he wanted. 

"I'll have a nice bottle of beer. You may choose with kind of beer you want to give me. And can you give me a few seconds for me to make up my mind what to order to eat."

As the waitress walks away to get him a nice beer, Appelsap sees her going to a man at the bar for beer advise. It seems that that guy must own this place. Maybe I need to have a talk with him soon. but first I need to make a decision on what i might want to eat. Am I going for a nice T-bone steak or shall I go for a  seafood pasta. I'll ask the waitress what she thinks fits the best with my beer when she brings it. 

Appelsap is surprised with the choice of beer that the waitress brought over. And because she had a nice story about the beer that was from across the border. She also told him it was her favorite beer beer, and that if he wanted to have another one he had to ask for mandy.

now he had a chance to tast of the beer, the best description is restrained and balanced. Nice hints of fruit, nut and hop mix. It was a really nice beer, he was really going to enjoy it. 

That was the time TommyAngelo joined him at his table, and he looked a bit tired. but he greeted him with a lot of energy. 

"Hello there TommyAngelo, so you are the owner of this nice establishment. "

Thinking about the question he asked him. He knew he new the guy from Chicago.

"I'm doing well to be honest, I'm just exploring this fine city and find out that this is a nice city. The people here seem familiar but now I get why. You where the family that had a HQ with PantybeDroppin. We now own that HQ and also that district. "

while appelsap took another sip of his nice beer, he sees a big amount of cash on the table. And TommyAngelo was telling him everything would be free for him and he could use the cash for other shops. But Appelsap didn't like that.

"Please keep your money TommyAngelo, I'm glad to pay for having good service so why don't you put this money into a raise for Mandy over there. and please hire some new girls, then you don't have to work as hard end enjoy a beer yourself."

while calling Mandy and signaling her that she should get him two more of the beer he was drinking. He heard Tommy ask about the beer.

"You know I do really like this beer. that's why i've order another one and I've also orderd you one to. So just sit down and enjoy a nice beer. I would like to know how you like being in Detroit, And don't you mis being in Chicago?"

Mandy places two new beers at the table and when Appelsap look at his new beer he saw the label of his beer was folded. And he could just see the first numbers of a phone number. 

"But I also have another question, Are you a poker player ? or are you just someone who likes to provide the places to gamble."

yeah the street are a gamble to be on. but we live in a nice and calm time right now, so I guess we have better odds then I would have playing in the gamblin. So I'll stay here and drink some beer with you. 

Appel took another sip from his beer , and started thinking about the waitress again. 

"Tell me something TommyAngelo, Would it be disrespectfull if one of your costumers and/or friends took one of your waitresses out for a date?"

while drinking his nice an cold beer, he again noticed that it was a really nice beer. 

"And i would like to take a look around this nice city of Detroit, but i don't know where i would have to look for. What would be a nice place, to visite and do you know some nice place to get a apartment?"

Seeing TommyAngelo was talking about the places where he could go, he noticed that he was talking about a bar where he had already been. It was a nice bar and the bar keeper was a nice man so it's a good tip. And a place to stay he recommended the hotel, And at that moment the waitress was standing next to his table with her coat underneath her hands. It seems like Tommy had made some arangements for him. 

and then he told Appelsap that the girl was ready for her date, this wasn't what appelsap had expected but he had never been less than a gentleman. So help the gril putt on her coat. 

"I would love to have a date with you. And you TommyAngelo you are a nice man and I'll be back to do some business with you. maybe i'll bring by some nice beer for you the next tme. "

Appelsap shoke Tommy's hand and turned around toward the girl again. 

"Shall we go to dinner my dear, I guess that Hotel does have a nice place to eat."

Appelsap wasn't planning to sleep with the girl this night, not that it wasn't a nice girl but he was just getting used to this city and he wanted to be known as a gentleman. besides he needed to have his own room the first night he was in this town, just to get his mind set so after dinner he was getting his own room in this hotel. but first to have a nice dinner. 

Appelsap walked out the door with the girl by his side and his driver drove them to the hotel for the nice date they where going to have. And there where going to be somethings happening that he hadn't planned for. 

Brushing the unruly curl behind her ear once again, Violetta leaned forward to pay the taxi driver the money.  Thanking him softly before exiting the taxi, she tucked her silver rhinestone clutch underneath her right arm while smoothing the silky material of her dress.  Vi stood on the sidewalk in front of the new establishment she had been longing to visit.

The weather tonight was a bit cool for her, but Violetta embraced the changing temperatures since it meant Fall was approaching.  She faced the door to the ristorante as the taxi drove off down the street.  The long sleeves dangled loosely around her elbow until she lowered her arms to her side.  The dress caressed her soft skin as Vi strolled to the door.  

As soon as she entered the building, she noticed the bar was buzzing with a good crowd of patrons.  Violetta scanned the vast dining area, searching for a nice quiet table.  She wasn’t sure if her cousin Stella_Nicolae was able to break away from work to meet her tonight for dinner, so Vi settled on a table in the middle.  She could see anyone entering the doors this way.

Vi took a seat at one of the empty tables, smoothing the dress underneath her as she slid into the booth seat.  Straightening the hemline to her knees, Violetta crossed her legs under the table as she picked the menu up.  She always enjoyed visiting other restaurants, and taking the night off from having to supervise.  Vi was set to relax and enjoy this night to the fullest.

Violetta perused the menu as a waitress approached her table.  Smiling to her newest customer, the waitress asked if she was dining alone or with someone.  Vi softly chuckled because she actually didn’t know.

“I might be having company, but not entirely sure just yet.”

“Very well ma’am.  I will leave the table setting then.  Are you ready to order?”

Violetta glanced over the wine and appetizer sections once more before speaking.

“I will start with a glass of Petit Verdot, and the Insalata Caprese.  I need more time on the rest please.”

The waitress nodded before walking off to collect the drink, and tell the chef about the appetizer.  Within a few moments Violetta was sipping the glass of wine, nodding to accept the chosen bottle and taste.  The waitress assured her the Caprese would be out momentarily then inquired if she was ready for the rest of her order.

“I would like the Ciabata rolls to accompany the Linguini with Clam Sauce.”

Violetta turned the page of the menu to the entrees section.  A delicate finger tapped lightly on her cheek as she glanced over the selections available.  As soon as her eyes landed on the lamb, Vi knew that was what she had been craving for a week, and tonight would indulge herself.

“The Lamb Chops in the cherry port sauce, and the vegetable medley and a small fruit salad for the sides.”

Violetta tried not to smile in amusement as the waitress continued to scribble nonstop on the little notepad.  She could literally feel the shocked expression the waitress sported, and Vi struggled not to chuckle as she finished with a dessert.

“Then for dessert the Tart brioche with coconut and pineapple, and an espresso.  Well that ought to do it.”

Violetta could see the waitress move her lips, expecting a retort along the lines of ‘Are you sure that’s all?’, but the waitress merely smiled after a moment then assured her the order will be out promptly then removed the menu from the table.  Perhaps she was afraid Vi would order something else which made her smile softly.

Violetta glanced around the ristorante, and noticed a few faces here and there.  She wondered if TommyAngelo was around this evening, but being he was a busy man Vi wasn’t sure.  She would like to compliment him on the new business.  Her eyes caught the staircase with the beautiful red carpet, and made a note to ask the waitress where that led.

Senka had spent her evening venturing around Detroit city. Ladies seemed to be alarmed that she was walking alone at night but she kept a knife hidden up her sweater sleeve just in case trouble should try to find her. Dressed in her sweater and black pants she walked over to TommyAngelo's place. She couldn't even begin to try to pronounce the name but she knew who owned it.

Slipping through the doors she allowed her eyes to adjust to the lighting inside. Once she could see properly she made her way to the BAR> Turning her head she spotted Tommy in conversation so turned her attention back to the bartender. She offered her best smile as she leaned over the bar counter.

"Could I get a double shot of rum with some soda mixed in? Also, can I get food over here or must I go sit at a table?"

Senka brushed back her hair from her face and tilted her head as she sat back on the stool.
