JUNIOR SOPRANO'S OLD HOUSE
BELLVILLE NJ
XXXI
Nica comes running through the house to find A.J. once she learned he was there. Who was discussing their 2 Blocks worth of Bitcoin Holdings they purchased Monday were trending up already. Their purchase didn't move the needle but perhaps it signaled a shift in forecasting the stock's future outlook?
Whatever the case they would follow it up before dumping it. With the hopes the reverse results happen in a copy-cat market with others unloading it to drop the price back down.
Where they will jump back in & reinvest with their intial capital plus their additional profits in gains taken. That was their intentions & that was their plan.
Nica leads A.J. out of Tommy's office back to the kitchen with all of the others by the hand. Stopping--Nica covers the side of her mouth & wiggles her finger for A.J. to bend over so she whisper in his ear that Sophia had something for him! A.J. kisses Nica atop the head & thanks her with a knowing wink.
A.J. had given his two cousin sisters a handful of old cellphones to hack into & download all of the contact data & pictures from each one onto a back-up memory stick for him. He agreed to pay them 50$ for each phone they hacked to share between them. Sophia was a for real a nerdy hacker & Nica was her young protege learning her way around inside the dos-world of the Matrix.
A.J. approaches Bobby: "How's that new pool restoration project out in the suburbs going?"
"Good.--Good. You hiring on those two Palmice brothers have been a real boost to our construction crew! (I'm glad to here that--So tell me how's it progressing Bobo?!)
"Good.--As I said: yesterday we pumped all of the green shit & water out of it. Then today we power-washed it with high pressure to clean out all the cracks & holes so we could repair with concrete poxy filler. We sprayed a coat of sealer around all the edges & corners before we finished up today.
Tomorrow we will roller paint the entire pool after spray painting it with a grey primer sealant beforehand.
Thursday we will patch any patio holes or cracks plus continue installing a new wooden wrap around porch deck to bridge between the house's new sliding glass doors to the poolside patio.
Friday we will fill the pool by trucking a tanker or two of city-water. Hopefully that will allow the water enough time to warm up before Sunday?! We will treat & dye the water Saturday morning & tie up any loose ends!"
"Good Man!--Sounds like you have everything under control Big Boy!--Right on Schedule!" A.J. praises his younger cousin by slapping him firmly on the back: Byrant is going to miss you once you & Roberto start that CDL School!"
Then Vito announces that Raymond & Robbie were there & backing their cargo van full of cardboard boxes of legal records.
"BEEP--BEEP--BEEP"
A.J. instructs everyone to form a line through the house between an empty downstairs bedroom & the back kitchen door to the driveway.
Robbie begins unloading their cargo one box at a time & handed it to Raymond on his wheelchair who handed it to A.J. who passed each box into the house where Barb Tommy Sophia Bobby & lastly Vito who stacked the boxes in order while Nica counted outloud the final total of 60 boxes.
As soon as they finished their sizable task in a short period of time while exerting little effort the QUEENIE'S PIZZA Delivery arrived with 3 large pizzas & a case of soda for everyone for helping out.
Sophia approached A.J. in the driveway after he paid & tipped the pizza driver with Vitos 50$ he won off him that morning they ran over the drunken trucker crossing to street to get to the bar after spending a week in jail for killing their Uncle Tom.
Sophia Baccalieri gives her cousin a hug & kiss on the cheek to thank him for ordering food for everyone. She teases him how he needs a shave already rubbing the stumbles on his chin. Then she drops a memory-stick into his jacket-pocket. Telling him"Dont loose that or let anyone see whats on that before you see it for yourself Anthony." Sophia seriously said to him as she clutched his jacket sleeve.
"I didn't see it all but I saw enough to know I didn't need to see anymore. Deviant? Very. Discusting? Very. Distrubing?--Very Much So!"
"BENNY?!"--(YES!)
"I Apologize Sophia--I had no idea although perhaps I should have?!" A.J. laments.
"No.--It's all Good A.J. I'm a big girl now & I am the Terminator's Granddaughter! I'm just glad Nica gave the phone to me because she couldn't get it opened into. That poor kid would of been scared for life!"
"It's Really That Bad?!" A.J. coyly asked.
"It's Bad Enough!--But I guess it just depends upon what your definition of bad is?! In Benny's Case?! Bad is Good & Worst is even Better!"
A.J. slips her three 100$ bills asking her if that was enough?! "There's one for Nica & two for you. " (Oh Yea--That will WAY cover it!) Sophia stuffs in down the front of her shirt inside her bra giggling: "I'd like to be a fly on the wall there to see the expression on your face when you open it!"
A.J. hugs & Thanks her again as they entered the house where Aunt Barbara was handing out paper plates & Nica distributed paper towels as napkins.
The Boys all went outside to eat together on the back yard picnic table leaving A.J. & his Aunt Barbara alone to eat & talk at the kitchen table.
Barbara informs A.J. to she recieved phone calls Monday from her daughter Alyssa who landed safely in Syracuse returning to college & Sent her love & many thanks for flying her back to school.
Then Barbara tells him that his mother Carmela also arrived in South Beach safe & sound. She said that Jerry Basale was in Miami visiting Little Carmine when she got back to her condo.
Carmine Jr had sent a driver to retrieve her from the airport instead of coming himself after she was gone for over a week.
"Your Mother said Jerry claimed to be down there to see about some Water-front Time-Share Property. But he recieved a cellphone call & learned that his cousin had been gunned down earlier that morning in Newark. & He was furious & left town immediately."
A.J. Noting. Before he changes the direction of their conversation by asking:
"Have you seen or heard from Dante Greco?
"Dante?!--No. Not since he left Sunday after your birthday party Saturday & returned to wherever it is that he came from?! He just said that he would be in touch."
"That's too Bad.--I liked the idea of having him & his "Muscle" back around here again!" A.J. responds to his Aunt's answer.
Then Barbara changes the subject by asking:
"How did the blood-test go this morning?!" Barbara asked inbetween fanning & taking hot bites of the pizza with the works.
"Oh--Was that today--that seems like a week ago now?" A.J. chuckles wiping his mouth.
"GOOD!--ALL 6 RETURNED BACK AS POSITIVE MATCHES!"
"SIX?!" Barbara laughes choking & questioning her nephew.
"Yes! Six." (I thought there were only five of you total?!)
"NOPE. There are at least Six of us now--Until more step forward--That is?!" A.J. laughes.
"Christ. Your father was such a Whore-Dog!" Barbara sighes. "Who is your sixth sibling then? I know about Vito Franny & Vladimir?!"
"Yea.--But the Oldman was apparently a Good Catholic--He never used condoms!--It's Caitlyn Moltisanti--"Jackie-O's" daughter is Soprano #6!" A.J. answered.
Who?!--Christopher's Widow--Kelli's little daughter with brain cancer?!" (Yes.)
" Oh Good God Anthony--Please. You have to Excuse me Dear." Barbara all choked up said while standing & covering her mouth full of food. That she spits out into the kitchen sink to run away & disappear in her bedroom before she began crying in front of her nephew.
