Jet lag is troublesome as usual.

I get back from England and come to find out that there are newer people around the streets of Reggio Calabria. Three years and finally I am home only to find that the faces I once knew, changed.

How disturbing that in three years things have changed this much. Well, in any case I am back.

Welcome back, sir. Some of the changes can be found to be pleasant, others less so. A report can be made for you if you wish.

[arcabalenoborn]

Yes. I would also like to have a meeting with you. I hope the situations and the people you have had to put up with have not stressed you out.

[vedacontabile]

Not at all, sir. If I am not capable of dealing with the people around me, I am not fit for my position. As it is, I take most things, as they say, "With a grain of salt." Just give me a time that suits you, and I will be available.

Locked.

I would like to discuss the possibility of having you work under me. I've been watching you for a while now, and I want to surround myself with promising capeable people. It would be a pleasure to work with you more closely.

Re: Locked.

[vedacontabile]

I understand the emotion quite well, sir. I'm glad you consider me to be promising and capable, as well. I would enjoy working more closely with you, too, though my loyalty remains with Vescovo at large, and I will always work to preserve that bond.

However, a close working relationship is something I believe furthers that endeavor, and I am very honored to discuss this more fully.

Re: Locked.

[arcabalenoborn]

You know that I have nothing but plans to further the Vescovo. I believe between you, myself and Mr. Kristoph Gavin and other promising individuals that we can restore more honour to the Vescovo house.

Re: Locked.

[vedacontabile]

Indeed I do know, so far as anyone can. What, in particular, did you have in mind?

Re: Locked.

[arcabalenoborn]

I would like you to gather as much information on the capo regime's and those close to them in the Monacello household. If that is too much let me know and I can probably assign someone to help. I don't want to over work you.

Re: Locked.

[vedacontabile]

I can do that. Subtlety has never been my forte, but an effort towards can always be done. My investigation into White Anemone draws me in that direction as well, so perhaps the two can be accomplished at once. If you wish to assign someone else, that is your prerogative, though "playing nice" has never been my forte, either.

Re: Locked.

[arcabalenoborn]

I don't like to play nice either. What information do you have on White Anemone at this point? I would like to know as much as I can...and if possible we need to seize a sample of it. I want someone to break down the chemicals.
