Francesco "Frankie" Giardini: ((Color claimed. Bwa Ha Ha))

Andrea Angotti: ((Mine!))

Luciano: (Um... Green Machine?))

Francesco "Frankie" Giardini: He pulls the Jetta up to the Concerto, dressed in his tuxedo he brought up with him from D.C. It's the first time it's been out since he made the trip...Corneliani fitting his form perfectly, in classic black and white. The gun is left in the Jetta, as he knows Security will take it anyway. He parks the car, getting out and handing the key to the valet before moving around to get Andrea.

Andrea Angotti: Andrea slips out of the car, her hand settling in Frankie's. Her powerful, curvy frame is encased in a sleeveless dress of black silk. Delicate straps rest on her powerful shoulders, the front of the gown drapping dramatically above full breasts, teasing the eye with the barest hint of cleavage. The back of the gown rests just above the firm round curves of her ass, leading one to believe she's wearing nothing beneath it and baring that glorious inkwork to the eye. A slit on the right of the dress bares her strong leg to the hip as she walks, the delicate heels making her hips sway with every step. Her hair falls in a wild, glorious tumble of curls to her waist, framing her lightly made up face to perfection. About her neck rests a three diamond pendant on a gold chain and delicate diamond teardrops dangle from her earlobes.

Francesco "Frankie" Giardini: And again, he has to smile, breathtaken, at the sight of her. He's only done it at every light, and best to get it out now, before the meeting. He leans in to kiss her cheek, and then moves to head to the door. "Have I told ya yet ya look amazin'?"

Andrea Angotti: She laughs huskily and touches his cheek, her voice deep and soft and rather intentionally sensual. "You have. But again, thank you, Frankie," she purrs.

Luciano: Luciano had arrived earlier, making sure he was there at least twenty minutes early. Dressed in a nice tuxedo that might seem a bit old fashioned, but the man does wear it well. He's been at the bar, just sipping at some martinie's as he waits for Frankie and Andrea to show up.

Francesco "Frankie" Giardini: He chuckles and nods, guiding her along to the front door. "Any time." Into the place they slip, up to the lobby, where he pays the cover charge to the maitre 'd.

Andrea Angotti: Her muscular frame garners more then one look but its the tattoo on her back that draws comments. Some good, some bad and all ignored as she scans the large main floor. "Do you see him," she asks.

Andrea Angotti: d10: per alert: 6,4,7,

Francesco "Frankie" Giardini: He looks around, looking first toward the bar. That would be his best bet...and he nods, spotting him. "There." He nods to the greeter and then makes his way over toward Luciano.

Luciano: The powerful Italian has been waiting, and looking towards the doorway each time someone new comes inside. So he likely isn't all that hard to see and those dark eyes of his light on Frankie, but only for a moment before they find themselves resting on Andrea.

Andrea Angotti: Andy takes a slow, deep breath and follows at Frankie's side, her eyes on the Don, seemingly bold despite the fact that she never meets his eyes.

Francesco "Frankie" Giardini: He walks up, noting the brief glance toward him and the longer look at Andrea. Not surprised at all. He nods to Luciano, with that mix of deferential respect and independant strength that he carries so easy around the Fullbloods he finds himself working under, as they come up. "Good evening, Sir."

Luciano: Luciano finally looks more over towards Frankie after getting a good eyefull. "Good evening." he says to the pair of them, setting down the mostly empty glass on the bartop.

Andrea Angotti: Once he's had his eyefull she lifts her eyes and tosses her head just slightly, shaking her hair back from her face. "Ciao, Signore Luciano," she murmurs huskily.

Luciano: He nods back over to Andrea, boldly looking her over for a long moment. Then turns his attention back to Frankie. Perhaps thinking he is the reason for this meeting.

Andrea Angotti: Her brow arches slightly at that and she flicks her eyes to Frankie, smiling slightly. It was a man's world after all...

Francesco "Frankie" Giardini: "Thank you for meeting with us," he says, maintaining his stance right at Andrea's side. His most obvious sign of respect is the more formal tone he's using, the more common accent gone. "Perhaps we should find a table?"

Luciano: "Yes." he says to the two of them, a litlte nod and motions for them to lead on.

Andrea Angotti: "I believe they have a VIP section, don't they," she asks, palm sliding over Luciano's arm in a slow caress.

Francesco "Frankie" Giardini: "They do," he says with a nod, and he makes his way over, leading them along toward said section.

Luciano: He follows, keeping pace with Andrea and giving her a slight smile with the caress. "I've never actually been here before."

Andrea Angotti: "Me either," she murmurs. "However you would be amazed at what you can find out on the internet." Chuckling she leans against the Don, sliding her arm through his, hips swaying.

Francesco "Frankie" Giardini: He keeps his eyes forward as he leads the way, seeking out a server. When he finds them, he has the man direct them to a booth at the VIP section. The man follows along behind the server, eyes looking around the Concerto briefly before they get to the table.

Luciano: He grins a touch about something and nods, patting her arm as they move together arm in arm. "Yes, too much on that infernal machine."

Andrea Angotti: "Its a useful tool in the right hands," she says, brow arching slightly as she smoothes her palm down his chest, her eyes flicking up to his face before settling on Frankie.

Francesco "Frankie" Giardini: He stands at the table, waiting for Luciano to seat himself before he does. Arms folding in front of him, calm and collected.

Francesco "Frankie" Giardini: ((HANDS folded in front of him. Not arms. Leeettle difference. *Thuds*))

Luciano: He glances to Andrea when she says that and smirks slightly. "Yes, in the right hands." and then takes a seat at the table. Looking between Frankie and Andrea once more.

Andrea Angotti: She sits, legs crossing - right over left, so that the pale skin of her thigh is bared. "Is there something you are attempting to hint at Signore? Something you've discovered about myself perhaps," she asks.

Francesco "Frankie" Giardini: He takes a seat across from Luciano when the other man does, settling down comfortably. Quiet, for now, as Andrea asks her question.

Luciano: "Oh, perhaps." he says to her. But does not confirm anything.

Andrea Angotti: d10: per emp Luciano: 8,9,9,8,

Andrea Angotti: Her hand slides beneath the table to stroke gently over Luciano's thigh and then higher, her touch intimate. "It isn't nice to keep secrets, Signore."

Francesco "Frankie" Giardini: He keeps his eyes on Luciano, waiting patiently for the discussion between the two to finish so he can address why they're there.

Luciano: He smirks actually a little, looking Andrea over before turning his attention to Frankie. "No, but I'm not always nice."

Andrea Angotti: She settles calmly in her chair, hand returning to her own lap so that she can smooth the line of her dress along her leg - it wouldn't do to flash more then thigh after all.

Francesco "Frankie" Giardini: "Fair enough," he says with a bit of a nod. "To get right down to business, Sir...Andrea's found out information about possible competition moving into our area."

Luciano: He nods some. "Nothing new." he says, glancing to Andrea with a hand settling high on her leg now. "She infact met with me on this already."

Andrea Angotti: "Yes well, your assistant and I use the term loosely, was putting her nose where it wasn't welcome."

Francesco "Frankie" Giardini: His eyes stay on their faces, expression even. he nods to Luciano's words. "As I heard. Since that meeting was cut short, I suppose this is the continuation of that, Sir."

Luciano: Luciano nods some to Francesco, but the hand on Andrea's leg squeezes slightly. "Yes, she had some choice things to say about you." he says towards Andrea. His eyes on her once more.

Andrea Angotti: "Oh I can well imagine. It must be frightening staring at a woman you know is so far above you." She smiles slightly. "A woman you know you cannot compete with."

Luciano: "Such confidence' he says casually, and looks back to Frankie. "So this is a strategy meeting on how to deal with this possible threat?"

Andrea Angotti: Her eyes narrow slightly and she takes a sip of her water, before looking to Frankie.

Francesco "Frankie" Giardini: "That was the idea," he says with a nod. "The Giovanni...I don't know much about 'em, myself. Didn't have 'em in D.C."

Luciano: "Andrea?" he asks her. "Have you enlightened him yet?"

Andrea Angotti: "You mean about how I got involved with the Giovanni in the first place," she asks, glancing to the Don with an arrogantly arched brow.

Francesco "Frankie" Giardini: He looks between Andrea and Luciano, expression calm.

Luciano: "No, what you know of them." he says with a little grin. "Though the fact this is personal means they might not be a threat to us right now. New York is a large city and we've already got our problems with the Asians. So now we have the Giovanni to contend with too?"

Andrea Angotti: "Do you want an element such as the Giovanni in your city? Do you want incestuous, child molesting, skull fucking necropheliac's in your town?"

Francesco "Frankie" Giardini: "Incestuous...necrophiliac's?" Watch Frankie's demeanor break, turning to surprise and disgust simultaneously.

Andrea Angotti: "Those are just some of the rumor's. But some of what Angelo did to me...Some of what he made me do." She shivers, real pain sliding into her eyes.

Luciano: "My dear, wanting something is only part of the equation. Being able to get what you want is another." he says pointedly, glancing around at the area before back to Frankie. "I'm still not sure if our own kind have struck a glow against us or if it was those damn Asians. Our own people are turning against us as well."

Francesco "Frankie" Giardini: His lips purse at Andrea's expression, watching her for a long moment, before he looks back to Luciano. "Sir...what am I missing here? Our problem with the Asians ain't one o' the regular problems...they're a special problem, right? So what's with the Giovanni?"

Andrea Angotti: "The Asian's want territory, right," she asks. "The Giovanni will want territory, they will also want real power..."

Luciano: "We don't hold complete control over New York, no matter how much I wish we did. Even at the heigth of our power, we did not have the strength to hold absolute power. We have our territory, they have had theirs. All of us do our best not to get into a flat out war that will terr us all apart." he says.

Francesco "Frankie" Giardini: "I've spoken with Arabella Sciarra, Sir." He leans back in his seat a little bit. "She's willing to play ball, as long as we can find a partner among the Sciarra's for her."

Andrea Angotti: She licks her lips and pushes fingers through her hair, frowning when she notes her hands trembling slightly. "If it was just me, Don Luciano, I wouldn't ask for help. But I have a four year old daughter...And I will do anything to protect her."

Luciano: He glances to Andrea, and pats her leg again with a little smile. "I know dear, and I do think we can come to a solution." and then looks back to Francesco. "Do you have any leads for this partner?"

Francesco "Frankie" Giardini: His eyes flick to Andrea, and then back to Luciano. "I haven't yet checked in D.C. yet, Sir. Thought I'd ask you first, see if you knew of any in the immediate area before I called my father and saw what he could bring up." A polite smile. Yes, more from D.C.

Andrea Angotti: She growls softly under her breath at that condescending pat and takes another sip of her water, her eyes settling on Frankie as she curls fingers over the Don's to prevent another pat or squeeze.

Luciano: He nods some as he thinks on it, his hand still resting on her leg and almost moving a little as he seems to think a bit. "Give me a few days to look into it." he says.

Francesco "Frankie" Giardini: "Of course," he says with an easy nod. The growl from Andrea draws his attention for a moment...but it's only an instant, before he's back at looking to Luciano, keeping his focus there. "Now, about the Giovanni, sir. This could be, as you said, personal...but they may mean to move in, too. Anything I should know about their tactics?"

Francesco "Frankie" Giardini: "Either way?"

Andrea Angotti: She traces one long red nail idly over the back of the Don's hand, trying to slow her breathing. Slow her nervous pulse. So much of this was so far over her head.

Luciano: "They are much like us when it comes to ... many tactics but they are far less scrupulous and dishonorable when dealing with those they they do not see as dangers or threats to them. I've not heard any rumbles about power grabs so I'm not sure if they are truely trying to move in ... yet."

Andrea Angotti: "Why would they come after me? What possible fucking value could I have to them?" She slaps a hnd to the table top and then flushes, her blue eyes darkening.

Francesco "Frankie" Giardini: He nods. "Fair enough. I'll keep my ear out and see what I can find out." He looks to Andrea, and then over to Luciano.

Luciano: "They are people, with desires and emotions. It could be personable or it just might be the opening attack on our resoruces and people."

Andrea Angotti: "I'm hardly a resource Signore. You know that. I'm a porn star. That's my only value."

Luciano: "You could be a moral victory." he says with a look over to her. "Getting one of our own to submit to them could be something that they are looking for." and he shrugs slightly. "We are in the dark, and I do not like to addmit it but we shall do our damndest to find out what we can do about it. I'm not about to give you up to them. Does that make you feel a little better?"

Andrea Angotti: "Somewhat," she admits, flushing and looking away, her eyes pained.

Francesco "Frankie" Giardini: He looks between the two of them and nods. "And with that in mind, what steps are we going to make to ensure Andrea's safety? I can put some of my crew toward protecting her..."

Luciano: "They haven't made a move on her yet. I think we should set up a meeting though with them. Perhaps find out a way to resolve this." and just looks to her. "Unless your just looking for a reason to fight them and get revenge."

Andrea Angotti: "The man that approached me wanted to bargain with me in exchange for not telling Angelo where I am. He wanted something...He wanted me to do something that he knew I would find morally abhorent. He wouldn't tell me what but he didn't need to. It was in how he said it." She pauses and takes a hard breath. "He could have already told Angelo where I am. And Angelo would have very good reason to believe that Nadia is his daughter...That scares me."

Francesco "Frankie" Giardini: He frowns at Andrea's words and nods a little. "We'll keep you okay, Andrea. And Nadia'll be fine." He looks to Luciano. "When do you wanna set the meeting up for?"

Luciano: "Yes, so we have a problem. Is it possible that only this one Giovanni knows? That you could set up a meeting and find out what he know and what he has told? If the leak can be plugged then we can end the threat in one move."

Andrea Angotti: "I don't know," she says, flicking her eyes to Luciano. "A would-be protector scared him off. As did my threats of bringing heavy shit down on his head...Threats I fully believed at the time I made them. I don't remember him giving me a way to contact him."

Andrea Angotti: SHe frowns then. "Wait! Wait...He did give me a means to contact him!"

Francesco "Frankie" Giardini: He looks between them, waiting.

Luciano: "Then I think we can begin there. Get assurance that Angelo and the family proper do not know, then we take action accordingly. Remind them who they are messing with." and he smiles over to Andrea.

Andrea Angotti: She licks her lips and glances at Frankie. "I can contact him..." She nods.

Andrea Angotti: Her eyes slide back to the Don and she smiles, confidence coming back into her wide blue eyes. "Yes, Signore."

Francesco "Frankie" Giardini: "All right," he says with a nod. "Then we have a plan, it seems."

Luciano: "Yes, now.. is there anything else to discuss?" he asks with a litlte smile to the two of them.

Andrea Angotti: "I believe that is enough for now. Grazi, Signore Luciano," she murmurs, leaning towards the Don to softly kiss his throat.

Francesco "Frankie" Giardini: "That is it, I believe, Sir." He nods, waiting to rise until he does.

Luciano: He lets her, and smiles a little more. After the kiss he nods ever so slightly. "Good, then I think this was good."

Andrea Angotti: Andrea uncrosses her legs and stands slowly, silk hissing across her skin.
