VIII
A.J. reawakened after drifting back asleep once Stella woke him earlier to have sex together before she left to go for her daily morning jog.
Stella was extra excited to go knowing that Francesca was bringing her two cousins & her new friend Alle Pontecorvo who all stayed the night for a slept-over with Franny at their Dumbo Hotel residence.

DUMBO--NYC
A.J. lights a cigarette & reaches for his cell-phone on the night-stand as he remained in bed to check his messages.
The first text was from Rhonda:
"I finished my shift & it's Done. See You Sooner then Later--I hope T! Your Rhonda-Gurl
Second text was from Aunt Barbara:
A.J. your Uncle Tom passed away peacefully last night in his sleep. Thomas & I will return to the hospital to identify & claim his body.
Third text from Tommy-3:
A.J. Dad died last night. Please inform Alyssa for us. We will be at the hospital. Tommy
Four text from Compagino:
We have Big Problems--Call me Back T. Cork
(What the Fuck?)
A.J. texted Robbie:
Where are you? (Downstairs in the hotel underground parking lot)
GOOD MAN--GIVE A MINUTE & ILL BE RIGHT DOWN
JANICE SOPRANO
Janice Soprano enter her little sister's guest-room where she was resting peacefully. Until Janice awakes Barbara to inform her that she had 3 missed calls flashing on her cellphone screen.
Janice leaves only to return with a tray of coffee and pastries when she over-hears Barbara saying "Thank-you " & ends her call.
"Is everything alright?!" Janice asked with a concerning look as she sat the coffee-tray down at her sister's bedside.
"Tom.--He passed away late last night peacefully in his sleep." The two sisters cross their hearts like Good Catholic Girls would do.
BARBARA (SOPRANO) GIGLIONE
"So--Is that it?! Christ Barbara your goddamn husband for 25 years is fucking dead & not even one tear?!" Janice asked with a questioning look towards her little sister ?!
Barbara twitched her head from side to side before focusing her sleepy-squinting eyes up at her older sister with the same question look.
"What are you trying to say Janice?! I can see you are dying to spit it out--Standing there with your arms crossed like Mommy. What are you saying I am a terrible wife after 25 years of faithful marriage." (FAITHFUL?!--I HARDLY THINK!)
"OH--THERE WE GO--NOW THERE'S YOUR CRUX!"
"Well the Crux is I know you had sex with a stranger in the hotel room beside ours at the Hilton the night before Tom's accident!"
"For one I wasn't having sex with a stranger. I was with Dante Greco!" (How could you?!)
"It was easy! He made me wet--I made him hard & he put it inside me!" (That's Gross!)
"How So Sister?!--That Coco Creep you are with is fucking gross!"
"Coco was the only one who came to support me when my husband Bobby was murdered! And I wasn't with him until afterwards." (Yea.--You waited alright?! Until the dirt was tossed on Bobby's grave!)
Barbara turns her back to her sister to put her robe on & loosely tie the waist-string. While silently glaring back behind herself at Janice in the large vanity-mirror in front of her beyond the unmade bed. (WELL?!)
"WELL--FUCKING WHAT JANICE?!" Barbara spinned around to stand face to face with her older sister.
"You just remember one thing big sister that your little sister has the same crazy motherfucking parents as you have!
& That I too am the Mafia- Princess Daughter of the Cold-Blooded Killer "Johnny-Boy" Soprano & his wife Livia "The Loon!" (I know that!)
"Do you Sister?!--
JANICE SOPRANO
"Another thing--Just because our brother Tony is dead now doesn't mean the Rocks won't Cry Out against you!" (TONY?!--CRYING ROCKS?!)
"You should open your Bible more often! Recall the story of Cain killing Abel & How the Rocks Cried Out to convict Cain of Abel's murder?!" (I still don't get it Barbara)
"Let me put it this way--So you can understand Janice. Tony called me at least once a week sometimes even more ever since I was married to Tom & moved to Brewster." (Yea?! So What?)
"Tony has told me everything about everyone for 20 years over the phone before his death. (Why would he do that?! He never called me unless he wanted something?!)
BARBARA (SOPRANO) GIGLIONE
"Maybe because I am a good listener? & I could be trusted not repeat anything he told me?!" (So What's your Point Barbara?)
"My Point is sister is I know where all of the bodies are buried. & Not Buried." (OK?)
"So tell me Janice how many tears did you shed over Richie Aprile?!"
"What are you talking about Barbara?! Nobody knows what happened to Richie!" Sputtering to finish: "He could walk back through that door alive & well anytime!"
"OR NOT?!" Barbara laughs dryly at Janice. "So What then?!--Nobody else knows what happened to Richie besides you & I?!" (I don't know what you think you know Barbara?!)
BARBARA (SOPRANO) GIGLIONE
"What I think I know?!--Oh I fucking know Janice. I know the goddamn truth just as you do. & I can tell you Richie Aprile isn't walking back in through anyone's door anytime ever!"
Janice glares at Barbara. "That's not True. Nobody knows what happened to him!"
"Whatever you say Janice! I am beginning to remember why that I moved so far away from here in the first place.--But for now Tommy & I have to go to the hospital to identify & claim his dead father & my deceased husband's body."
