I recognize Sammy; Sammy Luca Amoretti. An Irish – Italian background and been a loyal friend of Gabriel. He was in the third car lost with all the guards around him. He’s my dads lawyer; personal lawyer. He doesn’t work for anyone except for Gabriel McCutcheon. Sammy has saved my dad’s ass countless of times; he is the family legal adviser… telling us if we would get a life sentence for this and that. Sammy has been around since I was born I guess. He gave me a hug and smiled at me as we all sat down in the living room.

“How ya doin’ kid?” He said to me in that totally noticeable New York accent. His hands on my shoulder; looking at my eyes. He was happy to see me.

“I’m fine Uncle Sam…” I said nicely.

There were fifteen guys in the house. Plus Jenny; and damn her to hell… is this her idea? I couldn’t look at her in the eyes. Gabriel McCutcheon, Sammy Amoretti and the rest was the guards.

I looked over at my dad and he was looking at us both; an already half smoked Cuban cigar between his lips.

Carmen and Alice poked their heads next to me. Carmen went to her room and dressed nicely as I excused my self and the rest. They were standing nervously; Carmen was fidgeting with her fingers and Alice was looking at the unknown good looking guy next to her. Carmen and Alice had met my father before they all came in. The both of them shake his hands nervously and introduced them to him as my friend and girlfriend. I got a raised eyebrow from my dad when I introduced Carmen as my girlfriend.

But nevertheless he was nice and respectful to them both. A gentlemen.

“Uhm; me and Alice are going to the Planet… so Uhh; you guys can…Uhm… you know; catch up…” She said awkwardly.

“Oh; okay….” I said. I was looking around me and I had more than dozen pair of eyes fixed on us.

“Okay; I call you?” She said and moved closer.

“Yeah…. okay…” I said weirdly and took a step closer. She jaggedly moved even closer to me; I went for her lips as she went for my cheek. We kissed awkwardly and she said her goodbye to me.
