Lenny was going to end up being late and he did not like to be late, he had a meeting to get to two pm sharp. As a business man he had but a few rules and being punctual was number one. Looking at the man wearing his cheap knock off tailor made butt cloth even aggravated Lenny further. One's dress was severally important as well it showed a standard.
Ricky spoke to Lenny about trying to change their agreement and demanded terms of arrangements. H went on to refer to Lenny with racial slurs and even spit on the floor in front of him. Last rick even had the balls to say, “ You really believe you can take over the business trade of real estate and then travel companies, your a two bit fuck with a high end family name”.
Standing up and turning to leave Lenny spoke very softly to his number one“ If he does not sign the papers killed him”. “ If he continues to try and change our agreement kill him”. He would not take anything less than what he came for … an airline company.
Actually, Lenny stood there and paused for a moment longer than he had planned. His thought process he had just not only heard or seen not one nor two, but three acts of out right disrespect toward him but to the family.
With a whisper to the man's ear once again, “ Once your done kill him to insure this doesn't happen again”.
His line of work was harsh and to be in his position was being ruthless. And to stay in his position he could afforded nothing else. Tapping the gentlemen on the shoulder Lenny took his leave.
As he made his way to door Lenny fixed his suit with a smooth slide of his hands one over each side followed by a tug on his tie and went to the car. Opening the door he nodded to the driver “ One moment for my companion please sir”, with a quick and practiced response to his suit pocket he retrieved his time piece. Counting the seconds with a click of his tongue, at every minute mark. “ Tap, tap”, the inside of the car echoed with a knock from the window. “ Ah there you, well get in we don't have all day”, Lenny rasped. Being given a two big yellow envelopes, grinned as he nodded to the other taking their seat.
“Driver to Miami please”, yes Lenny had a beautiful car but he did like being noticed in less such was required of him.
Sadly, unlike most rides this one took quite the amount of time. Twirling his thumbs as the time passed he took note of each street sign, and city limit signs. His mind was fixed on a singular topic.
Today was the day he going to literally own his own air line, train company, bus company. For most people this a sad dream but for Lenny he had just created a travel monopoly. It was a fine day to think about what he want to own next?
