bring them to the [giovanni] light

[Tristan Marino]

tristan was a little nervous this morning. then again he was always a little nervous before his meetings with giovanni. even though the man was like family he was still the boss and he wasn't to messed with. tristan walked around his room making sure he had everything that he needed. he had a book where he kept track of most things that he had to go over with giovanni. tristan was very detailed when it came to his work not wanting to do a bad job. he didn't take dealing too seriously until everyone in the group realized how good he was at it. and now that they were supporting him he didn't want to disappoint. his mother had to be almost perfect at her job or someone would end up losing a life including her. so she definitely taught him how to take his line of work seriously. even though selling drugs didn't seem as bad as what she was doing it was still a rather dangerous business. you could never know what an addict would do to get a fix. especially when they didn't have any cash to pay him with. thinking of cash tristan went to check his earnings one more time. he already counted the money twice before but he needed to check just one more time. coming up short would be devastating especially when the money wasn't his to lose.

his cell phone started to ring and tristan quickly grabbed it going through the messages. he had two phones on him at all times. one was for personal use and only had the number of important people on it. the other was for business and needed to be attended to at all times. especially when he was in the middle of a big deal with a client. his fingers raced against the keyboard as he replied to multiple messages. putting the phone down tristan went to go change his clothes before the meeting. grabbing a shirt out of his closet he set it down on the bed and pulled the one he had on off. putting his sleeves into the dress shirt tristan slowly buttoned up each of the buttons and looked at himself in the mirror. it was a casual meeting but tristan still wanted to at least look decent. he still kept on his jeans not wanting to go over the top with it all.

once he had everything in place tristan grabbed his things and headed out of his room. making sure it was locked behind him he headed towards giovanni's suite where they were going to hold the meeting today. humming to himself he made his way onto the elevator and waited till he got to the top floor. leaning against the elevator he went through the things he wanted to say in his head. giovanni normally made these meetings quite comfortable but after all the things that had happened he knew giovanni was still wound up. though tristan was also considering that carina wasn't only his girlfriend she was one of his best friends. she was the girl that he grew up with and even thinking about people kidnapping her was hard to deal with. though at least now carina was nice and safe and bianca wouldn't be letting her out of her sight anytime soon. reaching the top floor tristan walked off the elevator and knocked on the door a few times.

Those damn Irish were late in returning Carina to him. "Coffee? Chocolate cake? Carina made it." Giovanni poured himself a cup of coffee and put the pot back.
