Thread: A missed Appointment (02/10/10 Attn: JTM & The Giovanni Family)

JTM enjoys his long rest for one night in this city for a change. No one needing him, or so he thought, as his phone rings clear out of the blue. He lets the voicemail get it, sleeping peacefully. Then the damn reminder BEEPing on his phone chimes in several times annoying him so much that he wakes up.

This has better be fucking important. I haven’t done my nightly routine yet.

He gets up going the fridge getting his beer. The cell BEEPs again and he checks the screen seeing Alec on the caller ID and a voicemail.

“Oh great, what the fuck does he want now?”

He starts walking to his comfy couch nodding to the Barbie’s listening to the voicemail as he sits down.

“Fuck!!!! Goddammit Barbie!!!! Why didn’t you remind me of the gio meeting?”

He looks over at the clock pissed at the time, setting down his opened beer.

“Shit!!!! I’m gonna be late!!! That’s just fucking great!!! You two are officially grounded as of now. Next time the gios come here, you two need to apologize to them. Fuck!!! Fuck!!! Fuck!!!”

He goes into his closet pulling out his JTM-G suit along with his standard JTM weapon assortment and hurriedly puts it on changing in the living room throwing his clothes everywhere. He walks out towards the garage.

“Now you two had better behave while I’m gone. Don’t bother trying to order anything from the Home Shopping Network. I blocked it. I’ll deal with you two when I get back.”

He shakes his head thinking he’s so screwed now. He gets on his bike, exiting through his open and close garage door routine heading towards the Giovanni Mansion’s Front Gate hoping he’s not late.

Alastair sits impatiently waiting for JTM’s response. “To bloody hell with it, I will just meet him at the mansion when he decides to show up. Hopefully he will show up sooner rather than later.”

Alastair picks up the two flower boxes from desk, taking great care not to drop or crush the boxes as he carries them out to the car. He sits the boxes of the roof of the car as he checks his pockets for his keys.

“Bloody hell, I have lost my keys again.”

Wait a second, what did we learn from the Wal-Mart trip? Always check the inside trench coat pocket.

He checks the inside pocket of his trench coat finding his keys, he opens the trunk and places the flowers inside, before getting in and driving off.

He arrives at the Mansion only to find that JTM has not yet arrived.

“Where in the bloody hell is he? I will just wait here in the car until he pulls up.”

JTM pulls up to the gate watching a car beat him to it, the car pulling forward up to the Mansion watching the gate slowly close behind it.

Goddammit!!!!! I’m fucking late!!! I bet Sophia’s staring at me through that top window right now laughing her ass off. Whats with this asshole anyway!!! Where the fuck is Alec. He had better not have stood me up either.

He stops the bike watching the car get settled in wondering where the fuck Alec is, hoping he didn’t miss him, waiting for him at the gate as he was instructed to do.

Alastair sits in the car, “Where in the bloody hell is JTM?”

He turns around to look in the back seat for his bottle of whisky, but quickly gets side tracked by the sight of JTM at the gate.

He gets out of the car and walks down to the gate.

“So much for you sending me a text message before you came over. I am glad that I didn’t wait around for you to text or you would have been waiting for a while.”

Alastair opens the gate before JTM has a chance to say anything and waits for JTM to ride through before closing the gate behind him.

He sees Alec come out of the car

Ah ha!!! There he is. That’s it, get your ass over here right now mister.

“Text message? What text message? You sent me a voicemail. Get your facts straight. Now step aside so I can park my bike. Hate to see tire treads on your new threads now Alec.”

He chuckles abit parking the bike, turning the engine off. He dismounts and walks over to Alec, waving up to the top windows as he gets closer to Alec.

“Sup Alec. Ummmm….so now what?”

Alastair looks at JTM, "Did you even listen to the bloody voicemail? I told you I was getting some things wrapped and boxed and to text when you were leaving so I could meet you here."

Alastair opens his trunk pulling out the flower boxes making sure to check the contents of each so he knows which one is for Kirsi and which is for Sophia. He pulls a pen out of his pocket and writes an "S" on the end of the box for Sophia.

"What do you mean now what? Remember you said you had buisness with the family. I just offered to be here to make sure you were not left waiting at the gate. However, if the rest of them are not expecting you tonight then I guess come inside and sit in the library with me and I will text Constantino and Sophia and tell them that I have a guest that would like to see them."

Alastair puts the pen back into his pocket as he picks up the flowers. He shuts the trunk of the car and removes the keys from the lock pressing the alarm button as he does so.

"Follow me JTM."

Alastair walks up to the door and opens it waiting for JTM to follow.

“Something about a gio meeting. I was running late….as usual So I guess not. Ah but who cares? I’m here now. That’s what matters.”

JTM still seems confused, maybe because he didn’t go through his usual nightly routine at his place before jetting here.

“Well I did need to check in with the Don and see if he needed me for anything so I could get my next paycheck installment from him.”

He thinks abit wondering what else he forgot on his phone atm.

“Oh yeah. Sophia wanted to meet me at my place, but I guess here is just as good for that meeting right? And I bet you needed me for something too, Alec, right?”

He scratches his head trying to rattle out the cobwebs.

Dammit!!!! Where is Barbie when I need her? Dipshit. You grounded her, remember? Damn. I knew I should have drank that beer first before coming here.

He follows Alec in to the library and finds a comfy seat and plants himself right there.

Ooohhhhh..a library with books, rock on!!! I wonder what they have in their shelves. Hmmmm…..dare I get up and sneak a peek? Hmmmmmm…..

Alastair walks in behind JTM, shutting the door behind them we watches JTM find a seat and sit down admiring the books. He walks over to the table where he is normally seated with his ledger and sits down the flower boxes.

“JTM these books are not the Television Guide that I gave you. I very seriously doubt you would understand most of them, as they are not in English. However if you would like to learn one of the older languages I will be more than happy to teach you what I know.”

Alastair takes his seat pulling out his phone as he sits; he quickly sends a text to Constantino and Sophia. “But since you mentioned business I do have something that has recently come to my attention. How would you like the opportunity to make back the thousand dollars you lost to me on the super bowl?”

Alastair puts his phone in his pocket as he waits for a response from JTM.
