Tony and Paulie were taking a break from the strenuous day. They had been running around town doing business deals all day and they wanted to stop to get a quick bite to eat. The two sat on the table and Tony removed his fedora. Paulie was shaking his legs and getting fidgety with the utensils on the table. Tony became agitated and whispered to him.
"Paulie! Stop with the shaking for fuck sake!"
Paulie stopped.
"Sorry boss, I am friggen starving."
Tony nodded. He looked around wondering where their food was. He looked at his watch, although this was a short break there was still a ton of shit to get done. After a few minutes the waitress came with the two plates.
"Here you go boys, burgers and fries."
She set the plates down on the table and also gave the men their drinks.
"Ketchup and mustard is over on the left. I am really sorry for the delay darlings."
Tony smiled and slipped her a $100 bill.
"It’s okay sweetheart, this is for the check and the rest is yours. Keep up the good work."
The waitress looked at the $100 bill and her eyes almost bulged out of her head.
"Oh my! Is this a mistake?"
Tony shook his head no and the waitress leaned over and hugged him. She thanked him profusely before walking away. Paulie then leaned in toward Tony.
"Boss can I ask you something?"
Tony nodded.
"Why do you tip everyone you see a hundred dollars?"
Tony took a bite of his burger and wiped his mouth with a napkin before answering.
"My pop, I read in his journals how he use to tip people the same amount. He wrote in there that we live the good life, we never want for anything, it's always there in our laps for us. Those who are less fortunate…don't have the same opportunities. I do what I can and will continue to do so for as long as I can."
Paulie nodded as he ate his burger and continued to listen on.
"Not to mention, I just gave that woman $100. There may be one day I may need a favor from that same exact women and wh-"
"Her boss?"
"Yes her. You never know who you may call for a favor. It could be the most unexpected person at the most unexpected time."
Paulie nodded as he understood. Tony was in a position to do this and it was a smart thing to do for a multitude of reasons.
"Why di-"
Paulie went to go ask another question but Tony quickly stopped him.
"Paulie, what are you…chief detective? What's with the questions? Eat your burger so we can get the hell out of here. We have work to do."
"Okay...okay...eating."
=A FEW MOMENTS LATER=
Paulie and Tony had finished eating. Tony decided on stopping by the construction site of his new nightclub to check on it, he figured it would be a nice gesture to order some lunch for the guys working, him and Paulie waited for the order to be ready. Tony looked at the clock, they were a little behind schedule.
"Paulie, do me a favor."
"Sure boss."
"I am going to bring around the car, can you wait for these burgers and meet me outside when they are done?"
Paulie nodded and Tony gave him a pat on the back.
"Good man."
Tony then waved to the staff at the diner and tipped his fedora as he exited. Once he was outside he looked around, it was a more than normal quiet day. Tony shrugged and took in some fresh air. He then walked toward his Silver-Arrow car. As he went to open the car door he heard a faint yell. He probably should've just ignored it but meh he decided to see what it was.
He walked around to the alley and walked through it. On the other side in an empty lot was a man with a gun standing next to a big shoe truck. Tony realized he could either A. kill the guy, make noise and possibly get pinched by the cops or B. turn around and walk away. On this particular day, he opted for B and turned away. Just as he did he heard a yell.
"YOU! Hands up and walk toward me."
Tony sighed. He didn't have time for this bullshit, there was things that needed to be done. He adhered to what the gunman was saying and slowly back pedaled toward him with his hands up. When he got close to the truck he was told to turn around and so he did as the man ordered. The gunman looked at Tony and Tony looked at the man. Silence. Then Tony spoke.
"So uhhh, what are we doing here. Can I go?"
The man shook his head no.
"Get on the ground!"
Tony smiled.
"Sir, this is a $550 dollar suit. I don't think so."
The man scratched his head. It was obvious he was a moron and not a true gangster. Tony spotted this fact and tried to reason with the man rather than jumping at him and shooting him with his own gun.
"Listen man, what are you doing here…really? You're stealing from..what is this..?"
Tony looked around to the side of the truck. He noticed the truck driver dead on the floor.
"Women's shoes? Come on man. You killed that truck driver….You're gonna kill me for some…women's shoes?"
The man once again scratched his head dumbfounded. He didn't know what to say but blurted out something semi logical.
"My wife loves shoes."
Tony couldn't help but laugh. After he gained some composure he held his hands up.
"Forgive me..I'm sorry man. You are robbing a truck filled of women's shoes, you shot the driver and about to shoot someone, writing a check your ass really won't be able to cash...because... your wife …loves shoes? Are you fuckin insane??"
Tony once again laughed. The man this time became angry and raised his gun pointed to Tony's chest.
"Stop laughing! I am gonna fuckin end you!!!"
With that a loud gunshot echoed through the streets. The body flopped to the groundand a puddle of blood quickly filled the concrete.....
Tony stood there looking at Paulie who had come out of nowhere. He stood there and was still holding the gun. He yelled and asked Tony if he was ok. Tony smiled at him and nodded.
"Good shot. Now..we run like bats out of hell before the pigs come!"
Paulie quickly ran to the car, he turned around to check on Tony but Tony was runninin the opposite direction. Paulie yelled out.
"Boss! Where are you going?"
Tony yelled back to him.
"Meet me at the Black Bottom warehouse!"
Paulie confusingly yelled back.
“Whores? Boss?”
Tony angrily yelled back.
“Not WHOREHOUSE….WAREHOUSE!!”
=30 MINUTES LATER AT A UNDISCLOSED BLACK BOTTOM WAREHOUSE=
Tony was driving. He looked into his rear view mirror and Paulie followed close behind in his car. Tony came up to the gate and yelled to one of Spud Farm's local thug's.
"Open the gate! Quick."
The guy looked at what Tony was driving.
"T...what the fuck? Where are you going with this thing. Why...just why?"
Tony looked at the man sarcastically. He tilted his head to the side and rolled his eyes in a sarcastic ‘really’ sort of way. Tony then held up a new pair of women shoes.
The guy nodded and snapped his fingers.
"Ohhhhhhh...Don Lucy?"
Tony nodded and spoke.
"Don Lucy."
With that the guy opened up the gates of the warehouse and Tony drove the women shoes truck inside toward the back. There were hundreds maybe even thousands of pairs in there.
Tony thought this would last the boss at least a week or two. It was a good haul indeed, the boss would surely love it. AN UNEXPECTED GIFT FOR THE BOSS…Tony realized something then, he made the grab but one thing was for sure there was no way in hell he was unloading all this. He thought for a second…then it came to him.
"Hey Paulie...grab the guy at the gate and you two come here for a sec."
Paulie got the guy and the two walked toward Tony. Tony looked at them just smiling.
