Katelyn — Roleplayer Guild

Vincent lit up a smoke and breathed in deeply, his eyes adjusting to the open window before him. The night had been rough and yet most had lately. He was getting to the age of wishing he'd had a family, a wife... Someone to call his own and yet he simply had his work. Another deep exhale and he flicked the small light out into the afternoon air, his black robe tight around his body.

A soft rapt came at the door and a muffled reminder that Antonino was here to follow up on some trouble they'd been experiencing on the docks. He yelled back that he would be out soon and took a quick shower, dressed in black slacks and a black silk shirt and walked with purpose to his study, a nod to his associate before he sat down in his large leather chair and placed his hands on his desk.

"Do tell me you've good news to share, Antonino."

Antonino studied Don DeMarco as he went to his desk to sit down, there was a subtle differences between when the Don spent the night with a female companion and when he woke up in the morning alone, Antonino's first impression was that the Don had woken up alone and was thankful that he did have a bit of good news to pass along,

"that I do, Don DeMarco...Having confronted Captain Evens on the discrepancy in the books, he could not refute the evidence, even had the balls to get belligerent about his thefts, so I thought it prudent to retire him, fortunately his replacement was present to witness Evens retirement, therefore I see no further problems as far as the shipments go", Antonino said confidentially then paused, His next bit of news wasn't going to be as favorable, although the news concerning whether or not the new assistant District Attorney for Dade County was going to play ball or not had yet to be confirmed, he knew the Don liked to keep on top of things. Antonino took a sip of scotch and decided to wait and let the Don make the inquiry.

Vincent nodded and leaned back, reaching for the coffee that an elderly maid slide in front of him, a soft nod to the woman before taking a sip. He enjoyed having Antonino by his side because the man got shit done. There was no two ways about it... if he needed something taken care of, he'd call Antonino first. He was just grateful that Abigail was gone for the moment because she rode him hard about figuring out what to do about the new DA and yet he was honestly at a loss with how to deal with the goodie-goodie. The younger male had a degree in theology and wouldn't bend the rules for St. Peter himself.

"Good job. I assume you allowed them to keep their share as a welcoming gift?" A smirk touched Vincent's handsome face before he moved on. "Tell me what we're going to do about the new DA. I know you're thinking of it... we've been together to long, old friend."

"Well, not so much as a welcoming gift, but more of a reminder of what happens when one steals from the DeMarco Family," Antonino replied to the Don's first question, as to the second question, he took a deep sigh before continuing. "He's yet to have made a reply to your offer of friendship, and our sources in the DA's office claim he's aspiring for a higher office, using his current position as a springboard to maybe even the Mayor's office, so for now he's playing to the voters, and claiming to make good on his promises of 'dealing with the Criminal elements that have come to Miami' and all that. I suppose the question at the moment would be, do you want me to smack him down, or allow him his brief moment of bravado, then set him up so either he plays along or disgrace him and he loses all credibility with the voters and his job?" Antonino stated while trying to not let the look of astonishment cross his face at the Don's, 'Old Friend' remark, it wasn't like the Don to be so jovial after a night sleeping alone, or had he misread the Dons countenance? Either way he was glad to not having to deal with the Don's fiery short Spanish temper when aggravated.

Vincent felt his blood pressure rise as he stood from his desk, the opening of the door just in front him him causing him to hold his thought for a moment. "We will finish this shortly, Antonino."

Abigail moved inside the room, her facade all business and the woman that moved in next to her took Vincent's breath away, but he simply nodded and looked to his second in command. "What took you so long?"
