3 pm , Lost heaven
" Knock knock "
I went to the door to check who was knocking on the door , I was careful that's why I was also gripping a pistol behind my back
I opened it and found paulie there so I let him in
" Oh tom , you left all your work on me huh and you didn't even wait for me before ending salieriiiiiii "
I caught the smell of alcohol coming from paulie mouth all the way up here thank God Sarah is out there sorting things out in Luigi apartment
" Paulie , we are in serious situation right now we got no time for this as there is another problem for us "
He looked towards me annoyed like I just ruined something important
" Tom you got no chill , now what is the problem that got you worked up ? "
" Paulie , commision we may get commission behind our back as we have created a void in lost heaven and now new players will fight for dominance like how salieri and morrelo did back in those days "
" Commission and salieri friends like falconne will search for us and eliminate us "
The only reason Tommy died in the original story was because when salieri was dying in the prison he asked falconne family to find and kill Tommy angelo
" Tom don't worry no one saw us doing that and only a handful people knew we crossed that old foooool "
" Uh paulie I don't want someone to come knocking on my door with a shotgun and last words I heard is " Mr salieri send his regards " "
I still remember original Tommy ending it was damn outright sad now that I am that same Tommy
" You know Tommy you changed I can't pinpoint it but youuuuu changed "
Well it would be strange if he couldn't tell as they were friends for 8 years
Paulie sat on the couch and started singing nursery rhyme or God knows what
I suddenly remembered that I forgot to ask for cut , it was the thing that made my past 15 hour a nightmare
" Paulie where is my cut ? "
" Tom, you always care about money come let go of all worldly possessions and drink with meeeee "
" Paulie I need it so i could settle in Empire bay comfortably "
" Tom stop I will give you your cut later and remember a wise man once said money can't buy happiness "
" Yeah then go make that man your buddy "
I replied instinctively not caring about Tommy personality because Tommy was Tommy not me and I am tired of it
" Tom you are not coooo ....
He fell asleep on the damn couch
Well I picked him up and dropped him to his apartment as can't let Sarah see me with paulie and alcohol
I came back quickly and cleared all evidences of paulie visit and made dinner for her in advance as she was sad because of her father death
" Knock knock"
I went and opened the door and welcomed Sarah in and then took the coat and baby girl from her and she sat on couch and said
" Tommy , we will go after attending his funeral at 10 am in the morning"
" Alright Sarah and i have already arranged a buyer for all our property in lost heaven for $5000 "
" Alright Tommy I have also packed all our stuff "
We both hugged each other and then we are dinner and slept soundly in bed because the new chapter of empire bay is about to begin
6 : 00 am , lost heaven
I woke up early because well I was excited for empire bay
In this world east coast has many cities like new york, gotham and empire bay
They all play important roles no less than each other and out of these empire bay and new york are called twin land of opportunities
I plan to become a bussinessman and for me empire bay works fine as new york you see is a battlefield right now and empire bay can offer the same to me
Gotham is good option too but not safe for my family and also it is heavily controlled by Wayne family because current family head is a man of bussiness not keen on fixing the city like Thomas wayne will do in future
I prepared and drank a coffee and then took shower and wore my tuxedo and applied gel to my hair and now I look like classic gentleman
At 10 am we together took a taxi aa my own car has been sold yesterday because i didn't have enough money to transport it to empire bay
We arrived at symmetry , unlike whole city this place was gloomy and filled with heavy sadness
It showed me ultimate truth of life again , the reason I will establish a company and go into science is because i want to live atleast till Avengers endgame time
I don't know whether this universe has x men because mutants first came into light when Charles Xavier showed them to government before that they were myth
Sarah was shedding silent tears there and i was blaming myself for not taking life seriously
Together we both said final goodbye to Luigi and walked away
Sarah didn't want to talk so i didn't pursue her either we reached home where we packed things up and together we hired another taxi and reached train station
trian station , 1 pm
We both reached train station while Sarah was carrying julia and a small bag , I was carrying 3 suitcase somehow and was still faster in speed than Sarah
I was faster or I don't know Sarah was slower that she has to call me two times because I got ahead of her unknowingly
Fortunately i found paulie there and we both shared pleasentires and he helped me share my weight and I was surprised that paulie was only carrying a damn suitcase nothing else
I guess that's how men operate since ancient times
We boarded the plane and i choose a first class cabin for me , Sarah and Julia while paulie choose a second class cabin where i know he will be knocked out drunk
He put alcohol in a steel bottle and will treat it like water so as to not get caught drunk on trian , typical paulie I guess
Now our new journey will begin , i can't wait for what the future holds
