Re: Missing Auditors

Buttercup,

I assure you, there is no correlation between the missing auditors and the Lombardi Family. The Overgrown have become quite the pressing matter in Atlantic City. Perhaps your auditors have run into some trouble with them?

As for the missing dues, I agree, this is unacceptable. I will be speaking with our COO immediately. He is newly hired. I'm sure this was an innocent mistake.

Best regards,

SUBJECT: Missing Auditors

I can't tell what runs deeper. Your lies or your wrinkles. I sent a group of three auditors to the Neapolitan five days ago. They haven't returned. What does that tell you, Quentino?

I know what it tells me. It tells me that unless I receive the rest of our dues in the next day (800 caps), I'll be sending one of my best men over. You better hope my auditors show their faces in City Hall before then.

ELECTRICITY BILL - 1500 C

I've been paying a Muni electrician a few caps under the table to divert more power during peak hours off the books. We've seen a 15% reduction in the electric bill since then. -Billy

WATER BILL - 1687 C

We've cut down from around 3,000 caps to 1,687 a month. We got a water recycler somewhat working. The water's uh, not the cleanest. But no one's noticed thus far. -Billy

FOOD & BOOZE SUPPLIES - 3000 C

Cut a deal with a new caravan. Way cheaper than the last one. They got a bit cagey about where the supplies came from. Honestly, I'd rather just save the money and not have my head end up in someone's trophy room than ask. -Billy

SHOWMEN'S DUES - 500 C

God I hope they don't check the sewers for the rest of it. I don't know if I can even get it out of there again with the Overgrown biting at my ankles. -Billy

MUNI DUES - 200 C

Can't believe they want 1000 C a month! Well, hopefully they won't send any more auditors after what happened to the last batch... We've gotta be careful though. If this looks too suspicious, they'll send Buttercup. -Billy

CHEMS - 5000 C

There's not much I can do here. I swear I tried. Since Antonio's been gone, the cost of Devil's Blood has skyrocketed. We need to find a new source.

[Reply: Billy, this is looking very promising. However, what is this about Overgrown? There should be NO Overgrown in the Neapolitan. We can't have guests feeling like they'll end up as fertilizer.

Don't worry about Antonio. I'll figure something out. -Concerta]

SUBJECT: Need your help

Billy,

I need you to expunge some... unforeseen expenses from our outgoing costs. Quentino's still a bit ill and we've needed to purchase more medical equipment & meds. I'm sure you know as well as I do that this information is on a need-to-know basis, and it would not do anyone any good to worry about him.

The estimated cost is about 11,500 caps. Please find a way to account for this. I apologize for inconveniencing you in such a way, especially when you're green to the trade. Unfortunately, our current circumstances don't allow for us to tread easy water right now.

I'll keep you updated.

Best regards,

Billy!!

Forget this accounting gig. I've got a much more lucrative business proposition for you. We won't even need to leave the casino to do it.

You still have the password for the fraud detection system? We're going to need it.

I'll be at Quentino's. You know where to find me.

Dear... diary?

It seems weird calling this a diary, since this is a computer. Also, how do I address a diary? Is it like a letter? I feel like this may be a bit too complex.

I figured trying to put my thoughts into words might help me process everything. That being said, I feel I'm in way over my head with this job.

Dad said it'd just be balancing the books. Maybe a few white lies. Nothing too bad.

But the expectations Concerta has for me are way more than that! And the worst part is, I can't talk to anyone about it. Not even Sal.

Hi diary,

I'll never be able to show my face at Quentino's again... or anywhere!!

I'm just so exhausted of constantly covering for Sal. I do so much for him, and I get literally nothing but embarrassment in return.

He pantsed me in front of the entire Family. There's no coming back from that. Not for my reputation, or our friendship.

I've gotta make sure this never happens again.

Hey diary,

Turns out pops was totally wrong about the job. It wasn't just "balancing the books" or doing some "calculations." At least, that's not what Concerta wants for me.

She always needs more money, and it can never be on the books. I try not to ask why, but my curiosity has gotten the better of me a few times. She says that it's all for Don Quentino and his "illness." Yet she never says what this "illness" actually is, and he doesn't seem to be getting any better.

It's making me start to question things. Does Don Q even know what she's doing? Would he even approve of this? Surely if we keep this up, it's going to hurt our relations with the Munis and the Showmen.

No one else seems to have any idea that things are off. And Concerta was VERY clear that I can't mention this to anyone.

I don't know anymore. This feels like it's all going to blow up sooner or later.

Hello diary,

Today I tried to gather up enough courage to ask Concerta about Quentino. She was avoiding the question at first, saying it's none of my business, I'm not important enough to know these things, etc. But eventually, she slipped up.

She said, "Would you question Don Quentino this way? No? Then don't question me." What does that mean? Does she think she's Don? That's not even possible. Surely he wouldn't be okay with this.

Something is really wrong here.

REMEMBER this it's super important future Billy

FROM: Mondadori, F
SUBJECT: Replacing Billy

Concerta,

I've been meaning to speak to Q about this, but I'm sure you know as well as I do how private he's been lately. I figured you would be the best person to deliver the message to him.

I have my concerns about Billy being the new accountant. Well-founded concerns. This feels purely like nepotism on behalf of his pop, don't you think?

Either that, or someone much more cunning than him just needs him in that position as easily-molded clay. Wonder who that'd be.

My point here is, tell "Quentino" to think carefully about what "he" is doing. Billy is incompetent. Not only will we be the laughing stock of the city, but his mistakes will drive a rift between the Family, the Munis, and the Showmen. We can't afford a rift.

I can do my best to smooth things over diplomatically with the others. You know me. But there's only so much I can do here.

Think carefully. Is what you're doing really what's best for the Family?

Sincerely,

Fabio

SUBJECT: Missing Funds

Dear Concerta,

How are you, darling? I do hope present circumstances haven't eroded the already tenuous sense of calm we've all been fighting to maintain.

I wanted to write to you candidly to inquire about the missing funds. The past few months, we've failed to receive the full amount owed to us for our entertainment services. I know you're someone of integrity and wit. I also know all too well the vast challenge that comes with leading as a woman in this city. I mean no offense when I say that there are rats in your organization that may be sullying our friendship garden.

Since you are a bosom friend, I will extend your deadline by a fortnight. Please ensure that we receive the rest of our owed expenses. Unfortunately, if I do not receive the dues by the aforementioned date, I will need to send some of my Showmen over to collect.

Best wishes,

Charlotte

SUBJECT: Re: Supplies

I'll have the latest batch ready by the end of the week. You've gotta give me more time. The demand for Blood just continues to skyrocket, and it doesn't help that I have to juggle our little side venture along with this.

I've told you a hundred times that he won't be able to get over this without a strong antidote. The meds you've been asking for are just delaying the inevitable. You need to trust me more.

Blame Antonio all you want, but there's no use focusing on the past when we've got our hands full with the present.

Gene,

I appreciate you sending the chems over in such a timely manner, but we need more. Quickly. Name your price, I'll find a way to pay.

The situation is deteriorating rapidly. No one, and I mean NO ONE, can know. Please use the utmost discretion with this.

Furthermore, we need another shipment of Devil's Blood as soon as possible. The demand is higher than ever, and with Antonio gone, it's becoming harder and harder to distribute it.

Best regards,

Concerta

It's the end of the line for me Q. I know I'll never get to say my goodbyes to your face. For many reasons. Many stupid, cowardly reasons.

I know you're not reading these anymore. But damn, it's the only way I can think of to even get close to the actual FEELING of closure.

This dance wasn't gonna last forever. Our numbers were gonna come up eventually. I just didn't expect it to be like this, for either of us.

Thank you for taking a chance on me. I told you back then you wouldn't regret it. I'd never lie to you, but it feels like I did.

Goodbye, my friend.

Q,

It's been ages since I've heard from you, since ANYONE has heard from you. You're supposed to be the godfather, not the ghostfather.

Pardon the bad humor. But seriously, this is beginning to look bad. The average Joe hasn't picked up on it yet, but some of the smarter ones are starting to notice. Concerta's been running the show, Tony's gone, and looks like you are too.

What's going on? Come see me at the club. Whatever this is, we'll keep it between us.

SUBJECT: Re: More goods

Quentino,

You sure about this? I've double and triple-checked everything. I've been sending you the requested amount of Devil's Blood in every single shipment. Not a single drop less.

If you want more, then say so. It'll cost more. This stuff isn't cheap to make. And no, I don't know why there's some missing from every shipment. I don't mean to offend, but are you sure no one is stealing a bit off the top? It's highly addictive as I'm sure you're aware, and addiction changes people.

As for now, I'll keep making the requested amount. If you want more (or less, but I doubt that) just let me know and we'll work out payment.
