Revenge is a meal Best Served Cold! Pt. 4 FrankxLucas
April 24, 1921

The sound of the train hissing is what woke me up this morning. I yawn and begin to stretch my arms. It felt like my legs had hundreds of little needles poking me. I guess my legs fell asleep also I say to myself. A very pretty woman with a coffee cart begins coming down the aisle towards us stopping at each person to ask if they'd like a cup of fresh coffee. I couldn't get over the way her long dark brown hair seemed to gently and float and bounce as she moved. I didn't realize how long I was staring at her lovely face till she repeated once again. "Would you like a hot cup of coffee sir" She had a very distinct accent, one that I had never heard before, so forgetting the question she just asked me I said. "excuse me miss, where are you from? I love your accent" This made her blush as she said thank you and told me she was from England. I don't know why but I immediately felt small, here I was having never left my home town and this woman had traveled halfway across the world. I wanted to tell her how I much I was interested in getting to know her, but I had never really talked to a girl in this way before, So I simply said "oh, how nice. Uummmm...I would like one cup please" She gave me a cup, smiled and said we should be arriving at the Colorado station in about twenty minutes I will be back to collect your cup. After she gave me my cup she continued down the aisle asking everyone else if they'd like something to drink. TonyT slyly smiled at me. "Franky, I see love in your eyes" he says laughing and poking me in the ribs. "Tony, she was amazing!! I just don't have any idea what to say to her" I Said. Tony laughed at me even harder and said "I'll give you a quick lesson before she comes back" Trying to act like I didn't need any help, I say "go ahead!! what could you teach me that I don't already know?" As I listened to him I realized that I really had no Idea about girls, and Tony knew so much. After about fifteen minutes that I listened to him I noticed that she was returning back down the aisle. My heart jumped into my throat, and my mouth went completely dry. "act normal, and just be yourself" Tony said. I clear my throat and when she gets to our seat, I "say "My name is FrankxLucas, but all my friends call me Franky. What's your name?" As she begins to speak I hear heaven in my ears. "AngelicaAmz is my name but everyone around here calls me Angel" she says. "Well angel, I'd like to take you out tonight if you don't mind" She glances down at my clothes and looks over at Tony with his blood stained shirt, and looks as if she might say no. So I tell her "Please forgive me for my appearance but we were working late, I do have better clothes in my suitcase" still hesitant she says, "I don't know about taking me out, but my friends and I are going to a club called OTF, if you really want to see me find me there at seven tonight." With excitement in my eyes I assure her one hundred percent that we'd be there.

As we got off the train I couldn't contain myself and begin dancing and singing, Tony was laughing at me the whole time. Through the crowded loading zone Clyde saw us, and walked over. Before I ever noticed he was there. I'd sang a whole love song that I'd heard my pa sing to my mom. He too, was laughing at me, I crossed my arms and said "not funny guys!!" As we begin to walk I told him about the wonderful woman I'd met on the train and how she wanted me to go to a club called OTF. Clyde said "well, I guess we gotta get you boys dressed to go out and paint the town red tonight" as we were walking to exit the train station everyone begin laughing as Clyde re-told my woman on the train story. Once outside I saw the nicest cars I'd ever seen, Five of them all lined up in a row three brand new Duesenbergs, and two brand new Beaufords. My knees buckle as I say are those our rides? This comment sends everyone into a hysterical laughter. "where'd you find this kid?", I could hear one of them say, Clyde stop's and say's "he's no kid, He's a gangster!" and with that everyone tips their hat to me and we load up into the cars. We first head to the hotel to drop off bags and grab lunch, then Clyde takes me and Tony to the finest suit maker in Colorado, Her name was Vo0odo0odoll. She was really good, she took our measurements and had two suits completed for the both of us in less than 3 hours. After our hair cut's it was time to get dressed and head to the club to meet up with my Angel. Clyde asked "How would you like to drive this car to the club tonight with a driver and bodyguard?" I laugh and say "we don't need all that Clyde." He shoots me a stern look and say's "Franky, you are to never go anywhere alone anymore, you will learn valuable lessons about these things later, but tonight I want to you have fun!!" As we arrive at the club, we see there are hundreds of people already in line. I'm not sure how I did it but I spot Angel in line with her friends, and I tell our driver to pull over here. He does but he tells us "you can’t wait in line, find whoever you're looking for and we'll go to the front of the line" Angel's eyes lit up as I approached. "you clean up very well" she says. I can't even reply because she looks like the women I'd see in magazine's she was perfect. I could hear her friends giggling as I grabbed her hand and led them to the front. I was feeling great, this was my night, and nothing could go wrong. That was until........
