Michele left the diner walked back to her rental car. Once in she called her mother letting her know that she would not be coming home that night. More out of curtsey than anything. Michele didn't want her mother to worry about her. Putting the car in drive driving around town for a bit then headed to their old meeting place. Driving done several blocks pass the storage area. Then walked a around for a good hour.Just a young lady out for a walk.  Remembering how Manny once taught her to cover her tracks.<br/><br/>Finally ducked into a underground tunnel that connected to the storage. She looked for the hiding place of the key. Smiling when she found the key that was hidden behind a brick in the wall. It didn’t take long for her find the entrance to the storage building. Using the key she letting herself in Manny’s place. Quickly punching the code into his security pad.<br/><br/>Inside their old meeting place Michele drew in a deep breath surprised at what she saw. Gone was the wall with chip paint and rusted pipes. The place had been gutted. Remolded it seem with her in mind. With a small fortune put into. Michele milled around the newly remolded building. Finding a two bedroom with fine linens on the beds. A bathroom that she could only dream about, smiling at the tub that could easily fit two. A huge kitchen with every luxury that could be put in it. Michele sank into the couch  that was in the living room. Each room at least one photo her on the walls. Drawing a breath. The place was overwhelming.<br/><br/>Not because it rival any honeymoon suite from a Hilton. But because she had told him about her dream place. This place was her dream down to then last detail.Manny had made it real. It filled her with guilt. It was only now that she remembered telling him  that. Hell there was a lot she had forgotten. Just so she wouldn’t remember that night ten years ago.<br/><br/>Only thing that wasn’t part of her dream was her pictures of her on the wall. Looking up at a photo herself above her on the wall. It was taken at the oak tree where that they had meet often.  She was up on limb smiling down at the camera. Really she had been smiling at Manny.Michele had taught him how use her camera that day. Most of the photos in the building were of that day. Sighing she took out her phone and sent a text to Manny. Simply saying.<br/><br/>“Here….M”Hoping that he would understand the text and know that was from her. Curling up on the couch after she found the remote she turned the TV on. Not really watching the Law Order episode rerun that was on. After a while she drifted to sleep.<br/><br/><br/>As crossed town in shipping area a badly beaten man was place in a container with note say computation paid in full. The man would arrive alive at the New York address. After that Tom was on his own.The cost he had to pay for betraying  and stealing from his own gang.  The two men that dealt with  him went their separate ways.
