The two men escorted the stunned looking Vitali out the door.
“Well, holy shit, boss!”Felix exclaimed.“Pure genius.”
“Of course, it is,” Kosta said over the phone.
Willy and Misha both nodded.
Sergi smirked at him and replied, “I have my moments.”
“Talk later bro,” Felix tapped his cell screen to end the call with his brother.
“Could I do the same?”Willy spoke up.
They all looked over at him.
“Do what?”Misha asked.
“Have a job to help the homeless,” Willy explained.
“You could volunteer, right?”Misha asked him.
“I-I tried and they never kept me around much.Well, I was still ...like in a bad way, maybe?”
Misha looked over at him.“I like the idea.We already have a foundation here, Will.It helps the churches and the homeless.You could be a part of that.”He looked over at his father.
Sergi placed his hands behind his back and stared at Willy.“I think it would be like your calling to do so.After all, you know them already and you understand the issue like most could never do.This could be a great thing.”
Willy raised his hands up.“Don’t pin awards on me yet.”
Misha laughed and patted him on the back.
It did Sergi good to see these two finally reunited.“I think this is a great project.”
Misha beamed at his father.Then he turned to Willy.“Let’s go have some dinner.”
Willy stared at him and asked, “What are we having?”
Misha patted him on the back.“Whatever you wish to have.I seem to remember that you were partial to porterhouse steaks.”
Willy gasped in surprise.“Oh, nah.We can’t do that.”
Misha laughed as he escorted him out of the suite.“You would be surprised, Will.You would be surprised.”
“Hell, I already am, Mish.”
After they left, Sergi stared at the closed door.
Felix had never seen Sergi wearing such a huge smile.
Later at dinner....
The dining area was full of voices and laughter.
Willy and Misha had been talking at great length about the years that had gone by since they were in school together.They also spoke about the Foundation for the Homeless, the Boston Chapter.
Briar looked relaxed and happy.This was a great look on her.Artem held her hand as they listened to Willy and Misha across the table.
Sergi was watching all of this and listening.He smiled at his son and he felt so relieved that his family was safe.His cell buzzed in his pocket.Reaching in he retrieved it to read the text he just received.His smile faded from his face.
