MAKES HIS SATURDAY MORNING ROUNDS
BOBBY "BALENO" BACCALIERI
DIMEO CRIME FAMILY
SOLDIER
XI
At 8 o'clock in the morning Bobby "Baleno" Baccalieri entered the rear entrance of the Valentine Motor Sales Garage in Roseland.
"Hey--Bobby Baleno!" Lonnie Rhinhart greets.
"RHINO!--Just the Man I wanted to see!" Bobby reaches out to shake hands.
"How So?!" Lonnie asked wiping his greasy hands w/a dirty shop-rag.
"I have a tire delivery for one Johnny Valentine!--25 sets!" Bobby said thumbing behind himself at the moving truck from T-Storage Rentals parked outside the open overhead garage door.
"Plus a skid w/ 50 batteries!" Bobby added.
"No Problemo Bobby B!"
"Good Man!" Bobby said patting Lonnie across the back.
"I want to thank you for what you did for me Bobby." (What's that Rhino?!)
"You know What? Baccalieri! I owe you." (You don't owe me anything Lonnie.)
"Yea I do. & We both know plus your mouthy friend in the wheelchair knows I owe you."
"Raymond?!--Oh He can be overbearing & Cocky but he's a Good Guy."
"Yea?! He must be? He did get me our of the Can for you at no charge! But he's still mouthy."
"Well RHINO I can't argue w/ you about that but (He's still a Good Guy?) Right! You follow me Lon."
"Well Bob--Any Friend of your's is a friend of mine--No matter how mouthy they are!" The two large men laugh together.
"I don't guess the Boss is In already?" Bobbby asked playfully pushing Lonnie back towards the truck to unload.
"JOHNNY?!--NO. But Danny Boy is in his office. He & his mother keep this business afloat! Not Johnny."
"OK!" Bobby cuts Lonnie off & blindly heads in the direction of the front showroom offices.
"Daniel Wesley!" Bobby announced himself as he poked his large head inside the door to close it shut behind himself.
"I'm delivering those tires that your Oldman wanted--25 Sets & plus 50 batteries."
"How much do we owe you Bobby B?!" (15K$ Total)
Daniel counted thirty 500 dollar bills outloud on the desk-top between the two men. Bobby takes it without recounting & stuffs it into his front pants pocket.
"ALSO. --I arranged for that Wreaker Deal you wanted. It will cost you 20% monthly +5% for me."
"I knew you could make it happen for us Bobby Baleno!" Danny didn't bat an eye about the extra "Vig" but stood with a big pleased grin across his face to shake Bobby's large paw-size hand.
"I will be the one who will come to collect from you each month. You don't pay anyone else but me. When do you want to pay? The first day of the month or the last?!"
"What's it Matter? Say the First of the Month?"
"Sure. Works for me Wes! I will see you then. In the meanwhile if you need anything else don't hesitate to contact me!"
"Alright Bobby! Will Do! THANKS AGAIN!"
"It's my pleasure Wes--I have to get going before your sister shows up & catches me here!" Bobby chuckled half-joking.
"Oh--Don't Worry Bobby--I will tell Tonya that you said HI & how awful you felt to miss her!"
"You do that Danny! Give your Mother my regards too! How did she like that Weed?"
"I will & I'll let her tell you when you see her next. But she told me it was Some"Mind-Blow" Shit!" (GOOD--GOOD. Im glad to hear it!--LATER)
So Bobby made his way back through the empty garage to check on Rhino's progress unloading his delivery truck.
"Where the fuck is everybody Rhino?! How are you expected to make any money without anyone working?" Bobby asked pulling out his dick to piss outside beside the truck.
"They will all be straggling in before noon to get their paychecks! But that's what they have me for to "Take up the Slack!" Lonnie laughed as he pointed out an orange tarp left in the cargo box.
"Is that mine or your's?!" Bobby asked as he shakes himself off to tug his zipper back up.
"The tarp is Ours' but there are four reject tires benenth it." (REJECTS?!)
"YEA! There are four w/red paint-stick marks across the tread & down the side-walls flagging them." (OK?--FOUR?!) Lonnie knods his head "Yes."
"Thanks for the Heads-up Rhino! I will keep my eyes on the look-out next time!" Bobby removes a second wad of cash & peels off four 100$ for Lonnie to reimburse Daniel Wesley.
"You should Bobby--All four of those tires are full of drugs."
"NO?!--You're Shitting Me Rhino?!"
"NO. IM NOT BOBBY! There's are at least five sizable packages/Kilos taped inside each tire. I'm guessing it belongs to someone whose unhappy & probably looking for it?!"
"CHRIST ALMIGHTY!" Bobby cracks a dirty smile & returns the wad of cash in one pocket as he removed a second larger wad to peel off two 500$ bills to hand to Lonnie.
"HERE RHINO--Take This! But Dont take it to go out & get drunk then get thrown back into jail for fighting again!
Instead go get yourself fitted for a couple fine dress suits & new shoes. & Then I will be in Touch. No one else seen these reject tires have they?!"
"Nope. Just you & I Bobby!" Lonnie assured him stuffing the money into the front bib overalls pocket.
"Good!--Let's keep it that way then Big Boy! I gotta keep moving now Lonnie!" Bobby shakes hands while he pulls down the cargo box door to close latch & padlock.
But then just as Bobby was leaving the Car Lot Tonya came speeding in to work late. Bobby blows his truck horn & waves as he's turning left onto West Orange Rd. Tonya was disappointed & frowning so she flipped him off after flashing her tits at him. (That Girl!) Bobby chuckles to himself. (Maybe Next Time Turtles?!)
Bobby takes the next left hand turn to cut across country down County Rds in the direction of Bellville to stash the reject tires (& drugs) in the garage there until he could figure out what the Hell to do w/all of it.
No one is home when he arrived there. So it proved to be easier then expected as he backed the truck up the drive way to the garage door Beeping:
"BEEP. BEEP BEEP."
Bobby jumps out & unloads the four tires & hid them at the bottom of a dark stair-well behind a false wall in the back that leads down to an old cob-webby storm cellar & pantry.
Nobody left alive even knew about it. Uncle June had told him about it when he was a little kid. Just in case he ever heard any shooting going on there? He would have a safe place for he & his little sisters to go hide.
Bobby calls Tommy as he is leaving Bellville for the BBW BING CLUB to pay his step-mother a surprise visit:
"Where the fuck is everybody Tommy?! I'm just leaving Bellville & there's no sign of anyone being there?!"
"Ahhh-Franny is in the Hospital! Mom took Caitlyn & Nica to visit her. Then I am w/Robbie helping A.J. move some shit out into storage."
"What the fuck happened to Fran?!"
"She had a miscarriage & almost bled to death!"
"GOD ALMIGHTY!"--"IS SHE OK THEN?!"
"YEA. By the sounds of it Bobby. A.J. said she woke up hungrey this morning!"
"Good!--GOOD! I'm glad to hear that!"
"T. wants everyone to send her cards & flowers!" (& CARDS FAT WITH CASH TOO! WE KNOW HOW THAT GIRL ROLLS!) The two cousins laughed in agreement as Bobby arrived in Amhurst ending their call.
Bobby entered the BBW BING CLUB in through the rear delivery door to the storage & kitchen area past the walk in coolers. To Janice's office at the end of the hallway.
"BOBBY?!--What are you doing here? I know you aren't here to see your Mother!"
"You're not my Mother!" Bobby sneared.
"I know that without you & your little brat sister Sofia constantly reminding me! So what do you want Bobby?!"
"Nothing Really "Mom" besides I came to pickup a meat order I placed w/Sandrine over the phone." (What are you getting?)
"A couple cases of steaks & a crate of lobster & prawns. (AND?!) And a couple cases of liquor & wine. (Is that All?!) Also a couple bags of chef potatoes & sweet onions." (So are you paying for it now or later?!)
"I can pay for it now." (ALL OF IT?!)
"YEA. ALL OF IT!" Bobby removes a wad of money & peels off four 100$ bills to drop atop the desk between them.
"Keep it Coming Big Boy!" Janice peers up grinning. Nothing made her happier then cash.
"There's more then enough there to cover it!--But Here! By the looks of it you need to go have your hair done! I can see your "Gray!" & Bobby drops another one hundred dollar bill in front of her. Janice snatches it up to count it.
"I guess this will do--for now! Tell Sandrine I want to see the bill! Where did you get your hands on so much money anyway?! I thought you were going to some truck drivers' school somewhere?!'
"I'm a Big Earner like my Oldman & my Grandfather were! I get out there & hustle!" (You are your Father's Son!)
"& I am going to school--I'm halfway finished now! W/ 5 weeks to go! (Are you going to graduate?!) YEA?!--At the Top of the Class!"
"That Figures as much--You've always been such a "Smart-Ass!" Janice teased half proud of him.
"So that means you're going to move out of my house after you graduate?!"
"FUCK NO--I'M NEVER MOVING OUT OF MY FATHER'S HOUSE!"
"It's my house now Bobby! Your father has been dead for 10 years now!'
"I know that without you constantly reminding me & my sister of it Janice. That house will always belong to my father as long as I am alive!" (WHATEVER BOBBY!) Janice pulls a hand mirror from her desk-drawer to check her head for gray-hairs.
"I gotta keep moving!--See ya Mom!" Bobby leans over to kiss her offering a glowing cheek.
"By the way--Franny is in the hospital! (WHAT?!--WHAT HAPPENED?!)
"She had a miscarriage I guess. She almost bled to death Robbie told me. He said Aunt Barbara took Caitlyn & Nica to the hospital to see her!" (BARBARA? WHY DIDNT SHE CALL ME?!)
"Maybe she did? Have you checked your cellphone lately?!" (NO?!) With that Bobby walked out leaving Janice digging inside her over-sized designer purse for her phone to see.
(HERE IT IS--YOU'RE RIGHT--SHE DID CALL!)
Bobby left driving south from BBW BING CLUB in Amhurst for Little Italy to visit BEPPY'S BAR & TAVERN to deliver the meats & staples.
