Just after the waitress left with the entire order for her meal, Violetta glances around the crowded ristorante with a smile. It was great to see the new business doing so well. She noticed a waiter nearby taking an order….No...wait.. that wasn’t just any waiter. She would recognize TommyAngelo anywhere. Violetta worked hard getting her businesses going, and she knew Tommy was just as hard a worker. Not every business owner would be out front taking orders, serving or greeting their customers, but Vi did because the customers are the reason the businesses do so well. She was smiling when he finished scribbling on the notepad then headed towards the kitchen. He glanced in her direction, so she smiled in return as he walked towards her table. “Yes. Yes it is me. I heard you were an owner of this ristorante, so I just had to come visit. I rarely take a night off, and I couldn’t think of a better place to enjoy excellent food and ambience. Looks like you are doing really good. Busy, busy.” Violetta listened to him try to apologize, but she tried to wave a delicate hand in the air to stop his apologies. “No need to apologize Signor. I am enjoying myself this evening, and just only turned in my full order.” Vi leaned in with a huge smile barely controlling a giggle. “Shoulda seen the waitress’ face when I kept adding food. She probably thinks I won’t finish half the food.” Nodding as she fully understood about short staffing issues. “Not to worry Signor. Everything has been wonderful, and I am very anxious to try the food.” |

Tommy smiles and allows a bit of stress to fall off his shoulders as he let's go of the tension in his shoulders. "Just ensuring you're taken care of dear. I find it hard to fathom you traveled this far just to enjoy good food and ambiance. Business most likely, I won't ask". Tommy smiles softly as he takes a seat in front of Vi. "I am happy to hear that you're enjoying the place. With my interests in other things outside of standard business it gets a bit hectic but I do enjoy to stop in and do what I can to ensure great service". Tommy waves over the bartender and whispers into their ear. "Hey, the best way to eat is to go all out I always say. We Italians and our food!" As Tommy chuckles slightly the bartender returns with a drink and places it in front of him upon a cocktail napkin. "Here's your drink Mr. Angelo". Tommy waves the bartender on with a nod and returns his focus back towards his guest. "Hope you don't mind I have a drink while your food is prepared? It's been a long day and still many things to be accomplished". Tommy looks down at his drink as he speaks before lifting it unto his lips and tasting it's moisture. "Nothing like a good scotch! It would be nice if I could get some!" Tommy chuckles slightly in the fashion of expecting return from his attempted joke as he places the glass back down upon the napkin and smiles. As Tommy and Vi share a laugh the waitress begins to bring out her order and Tommy quickly stands up in order to help her place the dishes onto the table. "I couldn't think of a better spread myself!" Tommy was quite infatuated with food and the meal seemed quite the feast indeed. As Tommy looks at Vi and gets her order situated he notices a lovely young lady sitting at the bar having a drink by herself. Tommy thinks to himself how familiar she is before looking back to Vi. "My dear I hope that your order is to please you. Let me know if there's anything else I can get for you or if you have a problem with its preparation. I must excuse myself as I believe another dear friend has snuck in on me and I must go have a word. Please, enjoy and don't hesitate to ask for anything you desire". Tommy glances once more over to the bar where the beautiful young lady is seated. Taking his drink into his hand and finishing it before handing the empty glass to the waitress he shakes off his nerves and makes his approach. "S...Senka?" Tommy stumbles over his first word as she turns to him. "I'm excited to see you here, welcome. I was wondering when I might see you again". Tommy had long been infatuated with the beautiful woman who now sat in front of him. "Only a drink tonight?" Tommy asked as he took a seat next to her and held up a finger to his bartender to signal for one more of what he has last had. "I...I, am happy you are here or did I already say that?" Tommy's face began to turn red as the bartender brought his drink and placed it in front of him. "Anyways, how are you tonight? Is there anything else I can have my people get for you?" Tommy spoke before lifting his glass from the bar and placing it to his lips. |

Senka turned at the mention of her name. She glanced over at Tommy as he got himself situated on a stool next to her. She had noticed a slight stutter as he said her name and she held in a chuckle. Raising an eyebrow ever so slightly as she studied him. "You're bartender here was just pouring my drink and about to tell me if I could eat at the bar. Since it's just me tonight I wouldn't want to take up a table when multiple others could use it." The bartender chose that moment to slide her drink over to her. She picked it up and took a lengthy sip before setting it back down. "This place looks lovely. You did a great job with it and I can see you do get some customers so clearly it isn't falling apart or lacking in that department. How are you?" She raised the glass once more and finished off her drink. Requesting another from the bartender as she turned her attention back to Tommy. |

Tommy had lost his thought process while watching Senka as she spoke. His mind had shut down and only her face and her eyes had kept his attention as she spoke. He had heard what she had said but was caught off guard when he realized her mouth was no longer moving. "S..Sorry about that. It's been a long day. It is a pretty nice place, I quite enjoy it. Amazing food and of course you can eat at the bar! You, you can do whatever you would like". Tommy smiled at her as he turned his attention to the bartender waved him over before whispering into his ear. "You won't have to wait for another drink for the rest of the night. Sorry about that, I often times think I need to run about functions of this place so beautiful women, um, and others who are friends of mine get taken care of the right way." Tommy turned his attention back to his drink and lifted it to his lips as he tried to not make eye contact with Senka after his slip. Looking around he found a nearby waitress and called her over. "This young lady would like to order something to eat, you make sure she gets top billing in the kitchen, capische?" Tommy looks back at Senka and smiles as the waitress nods and asks "What can I get for you?" |

Senka couldn't help but blush as she gazed at the bar top for a moment. Deciding to settle on ordering something to eat before she got too caught up in the compliments. "I'd like a chicken sandwich and a basket of fries if you wouldn't mind." She said to the waitress. Lifting her had up to look over at Tommy. She waved a hand between them just to make sure he was paying attention to her before she spoke. "Just checking that you were focused. What would you tell your employees about functioning this place? Friends go first? " She chuckled at the thought of some angry customers who may slip in and want their food as soon as possible. |

Tommy smiled and chuckled slightly at the sight of Senka's hand waving in front of his face "Yes, I'm paying attention. No, I mean I've got a full kitchen in the back but a place like this." Tommy looks around before settling back in to look at Senka as he smiles at the realization of her eyes focused on him. "People can expect to wait but my friends they deserve respect". Tommy looks loses his train of thought within Senka's eyes before finding his drink with his hand and finishing it "Interesting food order eating quick tonight? On your way to one of your escapades?" Tommy smiled at her as he waved down his bartender for another drink. |

She broke out in a grin. "Are you trying to get rid of me? I mean I know money doesn't make itself and my clothing store isn't too far from here." Senka winks over at Tommy and laughs. Nearly tipping the stool as she moves forward for her drink also. "No escapades tonight I don't think. I will have to see what I can get into. Are you planning a busy night? Maybe singing some karaoke?" |

During their conversation, her waitress had brought her wine and appetizer to the table. Tommy had ordered a drink for himself, and they continued the chatter with ease. She had barely finished the appetizer when the main course had arrived. Vi was famished, and the food looked incredible. She didn’t hesitate to take a bite right away. “Mmm. This is absolutely amazing. My compliments to the chef TommyAngelo!” His attention was gazing around the ristorante before settling on someone at the bar. Violetta turned to notice the owner of the lovely shop she was in the other day. Small world indeed, and Vi knew these two places were on her top favorites in Detroit to visit. “No. No. Go ahead, I completely understand. Everything is fantastic here, and if you get a break later please join me for dessert and coffee.” Violetta happily tucked into the array of food before her. Sampling this, trying that. It was an authentic Italian course, and Vi ate with gusto. |

Tommy places his hand upon Senka as she nearly falls and quickly removes it as their eyes lock and she shows stability once more "S..Sorry about that". Tommy quickly dusts himself off as if he had been covered in ash before picking up the drink the bartender has brought and having a sip "I definitely think that postponing any business might be for the best tonight. Wouldn't want some Wise Guy getting the upper hand due to your, current state". Tommy smiles slightly at Senka as he sips on his drink once more "Karaoke? We've not yet done any karaoke here. If you are interested I won't hold you back however. As far as plans go, I do have a friend here who has asked me to indulge in some sweets after she finishes her meal. She's here on business from Chicago and I'm sure will be heading out soon. I would like, how do I say this, to spend more time with you however". Tommy blushes as he looks down at his drink before lifting it to his lips and finishing it off. |

Senka watched Tommy as he was speaking. It seemed like a light bulb had just gone off and she finally understood all the stuttering. Blushing lightly at the request before smiling. "You simply can't forget to indulge her in her sweets." Laughing as the waitress set down her food in front of her. She took a bite of the fries and grinned. "Why don't you indulge her and I will eat my food. Besides you really don't want to hear me sing. I have the voice of nails scraping down a chalkboard if you will. I won't go anywhere in the meantime. If I happen to finish my food first I will have plenty more to drink." Turning her head back to her food she picked up a piece of the sandwich and ate it. "Maybe I will even order more food. This is amazing." |

Tommy smiles as he listens to Senka and then finishes his drink "I'm sure you have the voice of an angel". Tommy says as he places his glass down on the bar before he stands up "I hope you enjoy the meal and anything else you may like my dear. I will extend my pleasantries and join you once more. Hopefully you will still be conscious." Tommy chuckles slightly before leaving Senka to her meal and making his way back to ViolettaDiSalvo. On his way he begins to realize the buzz is much more than the one in the room but yet tries to keep it together as he arrives to her table and takes his seat "VI! I'm back! How has the meal treated you? I hope everything was to taste? Getting about ready for the sweet side of the meal? I'm pretty sure I could go for some sweets about now. Am I rambling? I apologize. I had a few drinks with that gorgeous woman over there". Tommy turns and points before giggling out of intoxication as he turns back around. "So what will we have? I'll make sure one of my people gets it as soon as possible for us!" |

Senka settled into her food. The sandwich tasted amazing and the fries were to die for. She devoured them over ten minutes and then polished off her food. She pushed her plate across the bar top and smiled over at the bartender. "I don't mean to be a bother but could you possibly flag down a waitress and could I get another drink as well?" The bartender nodded and went about making the drink before he waved down a waitress. Once the waitress had gotten to her she had gone through that drink and was waiting on another. Her eyes kept darting towards where TommyAngelo now sat. She had promised she would stick around and she would but she needed more food for this alcohol. "Hello there could I trouble you for two more chicken sandwiches and two more orders of fries?" The waitress nodded as she wrote it down. Senka smiled and placed her arms on the bar top. This time she only took a sip of her drink and continued to look around. Finding some amusement to pass the time as she looked around the place. |

After a good night sleep Appelsap wakes up because he heard a high pitched screamcoming from one of the rooms downstairs. While looking at the clock he saw it was very late in the night. And seeing TommyAngelo recomended this place for him to go with one of his waitresses. So it would be a good place to be with a woman. So after the screams ended Appelsap fell back into sleep again and woke up the next morning. After taking a shower and putting on his suit Appelsap went out into the hotel and walked towards the room that the waitress had slept in. This was also the room that TommyAngelo had offert him to use. But as he walked towards the door he sees that this door was kicked in. So something was wrong, so he ran towards the room. As appelsap entered the room he sees that the whole room is tosted, and in the middle of the bed Appelsap sees the waitress. But looking at the amount of blood underneath her it seems that she died from the bullet wounds in the chest. It was a shame for this beautifull girl to die like this but Appelsap had something else on his mind. Why did someone attack this room, who knew that someone was sleeping here. Was this an attempt on his live, or on that of TommyAngelo. Or perhaps the girl was the goal. But thinking of that it seems to be a little bit strange for her to be targeted. And who was behind the attack he needed to find it out now and he ran out of the room, straight towards the car and drove off towards Ristorante della famiglia Tanzini. As Appelsap arived he jumped out of the car and ran inside the building.
"I NEED TO TALK TO TOMMYANGELLO, NOW" Appelsap shouted
after this Appelsap waiting on tommy to answere, he walk towards the bar.
"I would like something to eat, just give me something nice that i can have for breakfast. And serve it with a nice big orange juice." |

Tommy had just finished enjoying a sweet treat with Vi and catching up through conversation. The smooth texture that settled soft on his stomach hadn't taken away the feeling if intoxication which clouded his brain. Though, there wasn't much that could cloud his brain more than the sight of Senka. He had spent most of his time sitting dazed off into another place, looking upon her. Tommy knew she must have been growing frustrated but within his mind they were together, talking with sweetened words and gazing into one another's eyes. As Tommy said his farewells to Vi and began to make his way towards Senka with his dream like gaze his world, at least the one in his head was suddenly disrupted by Appelsap and his yelling. Snapping himself too and collecting himself as soberly as possible he approached Appelsap. "Appelsap, what's wrong?? Where's the girl? Why do you look like you've just see a ghost? I assure you, if she had anything it wouldn't have shown up this soon..". Tommy started to chuckle until he noticed Appelsaps demeanor and look in his eyes "Tell me, what happened?" Tommy glances over at Senka and frowns slightly. "I am sorry dear, please wait for me, business you know". |

Appelsap looks at TommyAngelo. and he just got a bit angry.
"She's dead, Killed in the room YOU gave me. So Why did you want to kill me!!!"
Seeing that TommyAngelo wasn't surpriced that he was still alive,he was even shoked that Appelsap accused him of wanting to kill him. So that was when he knew that Tommy wasn't the one that tried to kill him. But why was the girl killed. he had to know and maybe Tommy knew more than he was telling him.
"I'm sorry, but Mandy was killed in her sleep, she slept in the room you gave us to use. But seeing I wasn't up for an wild night I let her have that room and took another myself. And now she is DEAD. So what I want to know is, Who knew i would be sleeping there. Or who knows that this was your room and wanted to kill YOU"
Seeing that the bartender had his eggs and bacon ready for him, he signaled to the table in the back and looked at TommyAngelo.
"Can you join me at that table there in the corner, I'm a bit mad still and I haven't got time to eat my breakfast. So please join me at the table because I want to know who Killed Mandy. She didn't deserve this you know"
After that Appelsap walked towards the table where his breakfast was waiting for him. And he hoped that TommyAngelo would follow him. |

Senka tapped her nails on the bar and smiled over at Tommy. She nodded her assent and began on her fifth, maybe sixth drink. She figured by the ruckus that Appelsap was making that it would be quite some time before she got any time with Tommy. "Go ahead." Turning back around to face the bartender she motioned for another drink and signaled a waitress to come by. "Another basket of fries please." She gave the waitress a bit of a tip before she went back to drinking and keeping a discreet eye on Tommy. |

still hoping TommyAngelo would join the table Appelsap was sitting at, he got a bit suspicius about the people in the bar. It might even be one of the people in this room that tried to kill him or Tommy. So appelsap started to look at everyone at the bar . Appelsap saw a couple of people sitting and drinking at the table in the other corner and there where three people at the bar. Those three people were two man and a good looking woman. The two man where talking about the woman next to them, and they seemed to be interested in her. But on the other hand the woman doesn't even seem to notice the two guys, she has only eyes for one person in this bar. And that person is TommyAngelo. Could she be the one that tried to kill Tommy or was she just one of his friends looking out for him. Appelsap knew he had to talk with TommyAngelo about that woman, and if she was someone to trust she could help them get revange. But for now Appelsap went back to enjoying his appeljuice and breakfast. And still hoped Tommy would join him at the table |

Henri usually made his own food, but today was an exception. After being assured that none of the chickens at TommyAngelo's restaurant had been used inappropriately, he found it suitable to finally fly into Detroit and visit his friend's shop. He was rarely ever in Detroit as business usually dictated his time be spent elsewhere, but it was a pleasant enough day and the weather was quite enjoyable. The flight into Motor City went without a hitch, and Henri quickly hailed a cab. Having the man behind the wheel drop him off a few blocks away, Henri tipped him generously and set out for his intended eating destination. After only a couple minutes, Henri turned the corner into the Business District where he saw plenty of people moving about. This was the right section of town, Henri knew. It only took a few further minutes to find Tommy's restaurant. As Henri approached the door, he grinned. Not only was he bound for a decent conversation, but he had heard the food was fabulous. Opening the door and entering slowly, Henri stands off to the side and awaits service. |

Tommy turns to see HenriDucard standing at the entrance to the restaurant waiting patiently Turning back towards Appelsap Tommy interrupts his incoherent ramblings. "Appelsap, I am not quite sure what is going on nor am I sure on what kind of state you're in. I think you might be in shock and need to calm down. I have a business to run so please, calm down. I will be back shortly for you to tell me what it is that has gone so wrong". Tommy turning his attention back towards HenriDucard begins to become flustered by all the chaos that has surrounded this day. Tommy had hired more workers but the demand the business had created mixed with the girl he sent with Appelsap suddenly not showing up had created great frustration As Tommy's mind swooned he arrived to HenriDucard's location "Ah, Mr. Ducard! Long time no see. How you been my dear good man? I am so happy to see you here in the city. How long has it been since we last had an opportunity to be in the same room together? Never mind that, you're here to eat and grab a drink, right?" Tommy looks around for a moment before catching one of the waitresses eyes. Flagging her over he turns to HenriDucard "I apologize for the wait my dear friend. This is Angelica, she's new but she knows how to take care of my friends. I apologize I'm not able to seat you myself as it would be my pleasure but I assure you that once I'm done taking care of the chaos in here that I will come join you and we can catch up. Sound good?" Before Henri can accept Tommy nods his head and turns him over to the waitress for assistance. His blood pressure begins to boil again as he makes his way over to the still babbling Appelsap. As he arrives at his table, Tommy pulls back the chair and sits down with a HUFF. "Alright, Appelsap. I've tried to make sense of what you're saying. You've been rambling on and it's apparent something is wrong. Have you taken something? Is something wrong? Please, for the love of God tell me what has gotten you so worked up?" Tommy collects himself and takes a deep breath as he notices the eyes of patrons turning to him while he waits for Appelsaps response. |

Henri turns to Angelica and flashes her a quick smile. She was rather pretty, but he had indeed hoped on catching up with Tommy. Knowing that business came first - always - Henri follows the waitress to a table that seemed to be seated away from most of the customers. This was good, as Henri preferred his privacy. He would have preferred it even more if there were a back room, but he didn't blame Tommy for dealing with his business problems first. Instructing Jessica that he'd like some time to peruse through the menu, Henri tilts his head and watches as Tommy speaks, seemingly in a frustrated manner, to Appelsap. Wondering what it was all about Henri settles in and relaxes. He was content to wait on placing his order until Tommy could handle it personally. |
