He knew Sal was in the house when the ambush started. He saw Moe and Peter walking up the drive. ‘But where was Paulie?’ He searched his memory. H... couldn’t remember seeing Paulie.“Luca!” he heard Sal call. He looked up and saw his friends walking towards him. He had to find out where Paulie was that night.“We checked out everything. It seems no one has been here since the investigation was over.” Paulie said.“Did you find anymore out about Virgil or Connie?”“Yes, I did.” Sal replied. “Let’s go. I would very much like to have at least two frigates to assist in this. That still leaves us with inadequate strike capabilities in the Serpent Salient, as we cannot strike there while still maintaining effective local security.“Is it possible to increase our production capacity?”“Emperor, I would very much like to do that but we are constrained by the availability of raw materials as much as we are by the number of replicators for ship production. Even if we doubled the number of replication. “Hi Helen,” I saidThe girls had obviously had a fair bit to drink.“Oh god… Claire’s not with you is she?” I laughed referring to my ex.“Ha, relax, John she’s not about. Ha, she doesn’t speak badly of you anyway!” Helen replied,“I'm glad to hear it, I'm surprised she talks about me at all!” I saidThe other girl Hannah interrupted “… well, she was always telling us you're hung like a horse!”The girls burst out laughing and my buddies were jeering along. I laughed along and got talking for a while. I told her, "Both of you have something to say to me and you will not say it. Have I ever beaten you for saying what you think to me? I may need to beat you for holding something back that I need to hear."They both came running to me and hugged and kissed me and said they were sorry."What do you need to tell me?" I asked them."What did Owl Feather ask you?" Sunshine blurted out."We talked about my family and where I was from. Then he asked me what I wanted with two old women." I couldn't keep.
