| The Huff and Puff | Started by: Coltrane on May 09, '17 22:28 |

Coltrane sat back, kicking his feet on on of the wooden round tables he had brought in. He brought his cigarette to his mouth while looking around, grabbing every little detail on the way. The place looked amazing. It was a little cozy stone building, with a big fireplace and a bunch of couches. There was a small dining area at the other side of the building and standing across the two was the bar, filled with the imaginable kinds of alcohol. That was only a small part of the big thing he had built. The main place was outside, it was a huge piece of land, closed in by small rock wall. The yard was approximatively the size of a football field and was home to the main attraction, smokes. Set up right next to the yard entrance, the huge bar of smokes could make anyone's smoking fantasy come true. From simple cigarettes to hand rolled Spain imported cigars, the bar contained everything anyone needed. There where various tables and chairs lying around, that could be moved and placed as desired. There was one last space of interest to the large buisness, and it was a medium sized glass cubicle, specially designed for hot boxes, à quick and easy way to get higher than God. Anyone could come and leave at their will, but they had to buy their own drugs. Coltrane weezed out the puff of cancer he had been holding inside for to long. Now everything was ready, the servers and bartenders where in place. Chu and his new bodyguard Dexter where making sure things rolled smoothly and peacefully. All he had to do now is wait for his customers. |

Bugsy entered The Huff and Puff as he had heard about the fine smokes being sold from this place. He to a look around the beautiful stone building, taking in all the luxury. Bugsy said with relief - "Ahh finally, a place I can call heaven". Bugsy had been looking for a place like this for a long time. Although he loves to smoke, Bugsy decides to keep clear of the hot box. Weed was never really his thing. He walks over to the bar and asks for the finest box of Cuban cigars. The server says - "Sure thing sir, how about a small taste first?" Bugsy takes a smoke of the cigar - "Beautiful! I'll take two boxes, and five packs of the best cigarettes please". As Bugsy has finished treating himself to some fine smokes, he decides to go over and join Coltrane by lighting up a cigar. |

Coltrane quickly snapped out of his daydream as the man he knew by the name of Bugsy joined him. He had seen the man stroll down the streets of Detroits a couple of times, smoking on the side of the street. It was for people like that for whom he constructed the place, a fun and cheap place to smoke with some buddies. "Hmmmm, Cuban cigars! Awesome choice, they are one of the most popular brands here. So how do you like the place?" he asked, before taking another curl of smoke. |

As Bugsy is asked the question, he takes another minute or two to have a look round the place. Bugsy is looking on becoming a business man after all, so this kind of stuff is right up his street. "The place is brilliant Coltrane , don't think i'll be going anywhere else to get my smokes from now on. Here have one of these." Gives Coltrane a cigar. |

"Merci mon ami!" he said, letting slip a small French expression. He took the cigar and filled up his lungs with the irritating but yet so satisfying smoke. Bugsy was somewhat new if he remembered correctly, and he saw a lot of potential in the young mafioso. "I'll tell you what, drinks on me! Joe, bring me two bottles of whiskey please!" he asked his bartender, after giving back the cigar to his new acquaintance. The bartender executed himself and brought the pair of men two bottles of whiskey. Coltrane slipped a couple of bills towards the bartender. "Keep the change my friend.." he turned back to facing Bugsy. "So, you like this lifestyle?" |

"This lifestyle is great! Expensive smokes, beautiful women, money. But as well as all of that you get family who will back you no matter what." Bugsy goes on to tell Coltrane about his father - "My father was a respected man of The Expendable Penguins, his name was Tommy. They were a great family from what I heard. Just can't believe that they got taken out like they did." Bugsy takes a sip of the fine whiskey that was bought for him. |

Coltrane listened to the man talk, nodding and taking big sips of his whiskey. It was always so much fun meeting new faces like this and it proved that mafiosos can sometimes be cruel and cold-hearted, but they could also be compassionate and sweet. "The Expendable Penguins! I was apart of that crew myself, before I came here as a Hand in Detroit. I don't think your father and me spoke thought, I'm sure he was a respected and courageous man. It was a great family, very tight, and I was gutted to hear the news.... it's a shame really, the family had so much potential..." |

"I only heard great things about them. My father was unfortunately shot along with them, but if he was going to die he would of wanted it to be by the side of the people that were closest to him." Bugsy takes another gulp of his drink after finishing his emotional sentence. But he is a tough soul, and he never really let that subject get to him that much. Bugsy pours another glass for himself and Coltrane, and then raises his glass for a toast.. "To the Penguins!" They both say. "So what bought you over to DT? A new start I'm guessing..." |

Coltrane noticed a small glimmer of sadness in his friends eyes, but it quickly disappeared. He understood the young fella, he was the same about his father. He raised his glass to the Penguins, and listened to his friend as he was taking his last sip. "Well mostly because I believe in the city. Many people where skeptical about it, and I understand them, but I think it's full of potential and opportunities. It is leaded by great leaders as well, which sealed it off for me! But enough talking about me, why did you decide to come join us in Detroit?" he asked, bringing his cigarette to his mouth, and filling his lungs with the killer smoke. |

Bugsy took a moment to think about what Coltrane had asked him. "Well I lived in New York my whole life, but when my father was taken out I had no choice but to take my own path. I heard about the great potential over here in Detroit, that's why I thought to make the most of it. I am looking to lead one day and I think a growing city like DT is a great way to get started." Bugsy remembers about the news he heard the other day. "Congratulation by the way about the move to Black Bottom. I'm sure you'll do great there. Are you nearly ready to make the move?" |

Coltrane nodded as husband new friend talked, taking small sips of his whiskey at times. "I agree, it's a great way to start and learn, I'm the first of my bloodline to be at the head of a family like this..." he answered. "And the way you're started, I wouldn't be surprised to see your name come up as a potential leader in the future mate that's for sure!" he added, with a wink. A smile appeared on his face as he mentionned his move. "Thank you! I am very excited to work there, I'm already having a blast! I do feel ready, Gavin has learned me a lot as I was his Left and Right hand for a while, I'm confident I can run my own family!" |

"You have had the advantage of being the RHM of a great leader, therefore I'm sure you'll do fine." Bugsy takes a look at his watch and realises not only the time, but also how drunk he is! "Well my friend it is getting very late and I have a long day ahead of me tomorrow. A great talk! We shall definitely do it again some time." Bugsy takes one last gulp of whiskey before leaving The Huff and Puff. "Speak soon my friend." |

Jake strolls into his new boss' shop and is amazed by it's beauty but even more so by the selection of smokeables. He makes his way over to the counter where Coltrane is sitting, enjoying a drink. I'd like a box of Romeo y Julieta's and five packs of Saint Michel Vert Sans Filtre. I began missing that brand as soon as I left the trenches! Jake noticed Coltrane 's bodyguards looking at him quite anxiously. He wondered why for a second or two before realising he had his rifle slumped over his shoulder. Oh, sorry lads. I forget she's there sometimes. Jake gives his rife to the bodyguards and then turns to his boss. Bonjour, patron. I must say this place is quite beautiful! It pleases me that you sell all those brands! Offers a little variation from those American crap brands. I used to love 'em, but when I got introduced to Saint Michel in the trenches my whole world changed. |

As his friend sat down, a cheeky smile grew on Coltrane's face. "It's okay Chu, he's family..." He took a swig from his bottle of whiskey and listened to jakethefruitcake's story, as he was getting the love of his life back. "Aaaah mon ami! I'm very happy you came to visit my place, I'm glad you enjoy it! I was the same hehe, started off with cheap cigarettes to look cool and shit, you know?" he said chuckling a bit. He wasn't the brightest of kids when he was younger. "Then I discovered the real brands, while I was visiting my family in France. They where simply too good for me not to bring them back!" He took another big swig of alcohol, and then tipped the bottle towards Jake. "Want some?" |

Jake gladly took the bottle and took a swig, after which he lit one of his cigarettes Ya know what the beauty of these things are? The perfect blend of tobaccos in the perfect proportions, rolled to a perfect denseness. Enough about these beauties though. I'd like to place an order. A big one. One of practically illegal proportions. I want to buy 300 crates of Marlboro's and ship 'em to Germany. After the war the price of tobacco syrocketed in Krautzland. They think $20 for a pack of smokes is cheap! There's just one issue though... It's still kinda illegal to sell goods to Germany without propper licensing. I can take care of almost everything, I just have one problem. I need to ship it all to France but all my French contacts died in the war. Do you think you can help out? I'll give you 30% of the profits |

Coltrane nodded, taking back his bottle and finishing it off. JakeTheFruitcake knew his shit, it was apparent he had a big interest in tobacco and smokes. Then his friend surprised him an offer. A very good one in fact, he didn't get offers like that everyday. It was simply too tempting to refuse, it was easy money and an opportunity to get amazing baguettes for peanuts. He exhaled a cloud of smoke, making it slowly grow all over his face, in a mysterious fashion. "Come meet me in my office at 9 pm sharp. It'll leave me time to think it through and figure out a plan." he said, while the smoke was slowly disappearing into thin air. |
