Compagino pokes his head inside the door of the funeral home office to inform A.J. that Albert 'Alley-Boy" Barese was there with Pasquale "Patsi" Parisi & Albert "Albie" Cianflone. Both being from the Luppitazzi Crime Family in NYC (& MIAMI).
Albert Barese was a DIMeo Family Capo of the Barese Crew along with his cousin Lorenzo "Larry-Boy" Barese. Patsi Parisi once belonged to the DIMeo Family but crossed over to the Luppitazzi Family after Tony Soprano was murdered ten years ago. Albie had been the Consigiliere for Philip "Philly-Phil" Leotardo before he was murder by one of Tony's hit-men & Became the Consigiliere of the Luppitazzi Family with Gerardo "Jerry" Basale the Front-Boss of NYC.
A.J. stood as he ended his cellphone conversation with Stella to greet the surviving members of the old DIMeo Family order under Corrado "Junior" Soprano & his nephew Anthony Tony" Soprano.
Patsi approached A.J. first to shake his hands & embrace him before he produces a large envelope with a tribute of condolences from the Luppitazzi Capos in NYC. Albie followed greeting A.J. after Patsi to give his condolences.
A.J. asked them if they came for the 5 hour Capo piker game in the funeral home basement that afternoon. All three men shake there heads in agreement as Albert Barese approach A.J.
"Bowing his head he declares A.J. as his Don Anthony John as he lifts A.J.'s ring up to kiss. Then the two men shake hands & embrace when Albert produced two envelopes; The larger one was from Albert & the second smaller envelope was from his cousin "Larry-Boy" who failed to come with them.
"What's this?" A.J. held up the lighter envelope to shake it like a small fish by the tail. "What the fuck is it "Beggars Day?!" A.J. asked.
When Albert repeats him asking: "What is this? Beggars Day?" Before answering A.J. that it was from Larry-Boy. "Where is Lorenzo?"
"Where is Lorenzo?" Albert's answers the question after repeating it. "Larry is unwell!"
"He is unwell? He was unwell when the Capos met to vote & now he is absent from this last great gangster funeral?"
But before Albert could repeat the question & answer it A.J. hands him back the limp--light envelope saying take it back to him. Apparently by the looks of it he needs it worse then we do! But be sure to tell him I will have Compagino take out a 25K$ marker out for him with only a 10% vig."
Patsi could see Albert was drowning in his shoes & he interupts their conversation by saying how understandable & fair the Don Anthony John was & that he was most certain that Larry will be most graceful for A.J. 's Clemency.
A.J. also seeing Albert Barese laboring to find the right words to say but A.J. gave him a pass by telling him that he was glad at the least that Alley-Boy came as he put his arm around his neck to walk him towards the door with Patsi & Albie. A.J. informs them the poker game will begin at high-noon & run until 5 o'clock that evening before the public calling hours between 6 & 8 o'clock.
A.J. walks them out into the hallway & instructed Compagino to show them where the refreshments were being held. Thanking them all lastly for their condolences & tributes.
Then A.J. overhead Geno from around a blind corner saying:
"Well--Look who we have here! The three blessed harlots & "Miss Misery" herself ?! In all her glory--& Christ. Look at her she's dressed like she's going to a goddamn slumber party?!" As Rhiannon stepped out in plain view from behind Roxanne Rhonda & Nessha.
"& Whose the Hindu Bovine Lover?!" Geno cracked off to Jake.
A.J. stepped up behind them from around the corner to answer Geno's question: "Her name is Neesha--Mr Monte's Eleven7 daughter." (Oh Yea--OK Gotcha T.) "& She's off limits! (WTF T.?) YOU HEARD ME GENO!" (Yea We hear you) "Good!"
"Oh yes Anthony--It was parked right out front of the apartment building door on Fleet St. & It drives so smooth & smells like it's a brand-new car!"
"Good Deal" A.J. answered her as he embraced each one of then with a kiss until he reached Rhiannon. "What's the matter with you Angel?"
"ANGEL?!" Rhiannon snapped with a red glassy eye glare. "I'm not your goddamn Angel anymore. I heard you will be getting married soon. AND You never fucking told me about it yourself?!"
"Well for one Rhiannon dear you have gone MIA for fucking forever & Secondly when did you begin believing what you hear?!"
"So you're not getting married & what I heard is untrue?" Rhiannon pins A.J. down in front of everyone who were all waiting to hear his answer when A. J. grabs Rhiannon's by her baggy hoody sweatshirt sleeve into his to leave the others standing in the funeral lobby with questioning looks.
Roxanne walks up to Geno to inform him that she heard what he said about them when they arrived & He needed to back off Rhiannon. They were fortunate that she resurfaced again. She had gone missing since late April. We didn't know if she was dead or alive?!"
"Where the fuck was she?!"
(I don't know.)
