"Well I have this idea I kinda like. It involves an American baseball bat and alot of Russian thigh bones.
But that's for later. Right now there's still business on the table. We have to get things rolling. They have a contract but there's always wriggling room in a contract and besides that the mafia isn't a company in the real sense so we can always blow them off in the end. We can't take them in a straight up fight. We have better soldiers but they have more people with guns and they don't have to put their names on the front of their buildings...
Start building. We make Cuba what we want and we play along with Kaschei and his buddies for the time being. But, before too long I am going to make sure that he personally pays for this bull.
That said... I do have a plan we could put into motion right now, after a fashion."

I spend my time at the office looking over financial projections, reports, responding to memos, and in various planning meetings. Towards the end of the day I get an unexpected knock at my door and rise curiously to open it.
"Ah! Hey. What brings you here?"
I let Tuesday inside and motion towards the chair in front of my desk for her to have a seat.

Tuesday steps inside and sits down at the chair that Calithin points out. And smiles.
"Hey, I hope you're not busy and I'm not interrupting anything."
"I know I just saw you just yesterday and everything butttt," She pulled the article out of her purse. "I though you'd like to see this."
She handed it to him.

I reach over and take the paper from her, reading it quickly and intently. I take a seat on the edge of my desk and read over the article twice to make sure I don't miss anything before handing it back with a smile.
"It's really good. I like it. I think there's a good balance between the various topics covered in the interview. Ms. DeCastro, I must say, I am impressed! I think it conveys the point I was trying to get across perfectly."
I am very happy with the way this has all turned out.

"Thank you." Tuesday said, quite proud of herself. "Its going to be in a much more impressive paper in a matter of days."
She looks up at him. "I wasn't sure if I covered enough on the mines though."

"It seemed like enough to me. I wouldn't want it to come across as an advertisement anyway. It's good not to berate people with propaganda."
I hop off of my desk and go around to the side... Looking for a few minutes in several drawers I finally find what I'm looking for: smarties. Only one of the best candies of all time.
"You get some smarties because you're a smarty."
I am just lame this way. I can't help it. I hand her a roll of smarties and take one for myself, popping several of the delicious candy into my mouth at once.

Tuesday laughed when he handed her a roll of smarties because shes a smarty. "Thanks," she said, "I try. Its good to know that I'll get rewarded in smarties."
"Thats really all I wanted to show you." She stated. "If you need me to get out of your way, I can go." She didn't want to be a bother.

"Yeah, I try to operate on a pretty set reward system with people. It's good to give positive reinforcement."
I yawn and take a seat in my chair.
"I'm not too busy right now. We can do something if you'd like, unless you have journalistic investigating you need to get to."

"Nah, I'm free for the rest of the day. I just didn't want to be a bother. But if you're not busy yeah, I'd like to do something." Tuesday said, popping a few of the smarties into her mouth, she chewed them for a moment.
"Smarties." She said "Are entirely underestimated. Most kids go for pixie sticks, or some other pure sugar, for me, smarties is always the way to go."

"I've been known to get pretty obsessed with smarties sometimes... They are an intense candy. Smarties don't play. It's serious business."
I look outside the large window in my office and note that the weather is much better today than it was yesterday.
"Well, the weather is nice today... How about... We go sailing? Would you be up for that or were you thinking something more relaxed?"

Tuesday nodded. "Sailing sounds fun. I've never done it before, so you might have to teach me."
She looked outside. The weather had drastically changed since the day before, instead of raining the sun was shining.

"Have him call me whenever he contacts you, if you would. Thank you Bambi," Alrick said with a warm smile. "I believe that's about all, I have some business at this branch so if there's anything else you need me to take care of, please let me know now so I can make sure it gets done."

"Sailing then! Good."
Well, now I'm all excited. I smile and jump up out of my seat.
"This is going to be fantastic. You're going to love it, believe me. I'll handle all the heavy work and just teach you how to stear... It's great when you get the hang of it. I'm not really in sailing gear though..."
I look down at my very un-sailor-like business atire.
"So we'll have to stop by my apartment. And you'll probably want to go to the hotel and change as well. Okay. Well, it's settled then. Lets get going."
I tell my secretary that I'm going to be gone for the rest of the day, and walk with Tuesday outside where there is a car waiting for us. I open the door for her and we both get inside... I have my personal driver take us to my apartment first, because it's closer.
"Hang on for just a second. I'll be right back."
I run up and quickly change into a loose white shirt, some shorts, and boat shoes then come back to the car and give the driver directions to Tuesday's hotel.
"This is going to be fantastic."

Tuesday laughed at how excited he got. "Theres heavy work in sailing?" She asks, to more or less herself. When he comes back down in his sailing outfit it strikes her that shes not exactly sure how to dress for sailing.
In the cab she turns and looks at him. "It sounds amazing, I've wanted to go for a long time. I do have one question though. What do you wear to go sailing?" she asked.

"Just some... Light clothes. Maybe a bathing suit with some shorts and a shirt. Sandals. A girlier version of my outfit."
As the car pulls up to her hotel I get even more excited.
"In a thousand years, in mythology books, they're going to be reading about this day... Stories will be written. They won't even believe this amount of fun is FOR REAL..."
I like to hype things up.
"I'll just wait here for you to change. No rush."
