Poor Josef is so confused. He didn't even remember he wasn't in Vegas anymore. Now Isabelle or Balthazar might be able to push some sense into him. Or at least hide the bodies. :laugh:

Josef is suffering from a vamp version of mid-life crisis, me thinks. But someone needs to reign him in. He's out of control. Isabelle ought to put a silver leash on him.

Thanks Ella. :hearts:

“What?” Mick said becoming more confused by Josef’s behavior.
“Hey honey! Did you come to surprise me?” Josef asked looking over at Isabelle. She walked slowly towards him.
“Of course I did. But you must go to the hotel. I have some things to take care of and I will meet you there.” She said calmly.
“Ok great! Then I’ll take you out on the town!” Josef said as if the last several hours had not occurred. “Oh, I bought a new car. I’m going to let Guillermo have the Ferrari” Josef said as he walked out the door with Balthazar and Guillermo. Isabelle and Mick stayed behind to take care of the Benetti Brothers and clean the room. Isabelle erased all the security tapes in the casino then her and Mick left to join Balthazar at the hotel.
“Please stay with Josef Mick. I have to go clean up this stolen car business” Isabelle said when she dropped Mick off at the Bellagio. Mick watched her drive away and wondered what she was thinking. He really hoped Josef hadn’t blown his one last chance at happiness.

Josef was sitting on the sofa in his suite and Balthazar was examining him when Mick walked in.
“Look, I feel fine” Josef was saying. Mick sat next to him.
“Josef, you’re not fine. I flew down to Vegas with you. Logan and Guillermo too? Do you remember that?” Josef stared at Mick truly baffled by what he was saying. None of it made any sense to him. And then suddenly everything went black.

Yow!

Did everything go black for Mick or did the lights go out for Josef.

Either way, Balthazar is there.

“What the hell just happened?” he screamed.
“Do not worry Mick. I gave him something. He will sleep for a few days while he is moved. We can not risk a repeat performance of the night’s events” Balthazar said coolly. They moved Josef into the master bedroom while they packed up his things.
“I have to go down and get Logan. I’ll be right back” Mick said going out the door. Logan was still in the same place with three new guys.
Mick was almost afraid to ask.
“Logan, we have an emergency. We have to go”
“What? Now?” he asked looking at his cards.
“Yeah, now. Unless you want to fly yourself back to Los Angeles”
Logan laid his cards down.
“You know Mick I could have won the grand prize. Do you know what the grand prize is? Oh you don’t. Well I do! It was $100,000.00! “He yelled.
“Please tell me you got Josef’s money back?” Mick said looking straight at him.

“Yeah. I paid it back to the hotel” Logan said shaking his head.
“Look I’m sorry, but we really have to go. Josef got into a little bit of trouble”
“What kind of trouble?”
“Uh…….he stole a Lamborghini” Mick said quietly. “And he killed a mob boss”
Logan stopped in his tracks and stared at Mick
“Kostan’s my hero!” he said in awe. Mick rolled his eyes and they got on the elevator.

Well, that certainly answered who the lights went out for.

Also, this is probably for the best. Josef is not, how shall we say, playing with a full deck, the elevator does not go all the way to the top, a plank short of a cord...

At least Logan won the money back. He also clearly has no idea about the situation.

Sounds like Guillermo is not getting the Ferrari after all...

By the time they made it back to the suite Isabelle had arrived.
“Are we all ready to leave” she asked in her quiet controlled voice.
Mick took one last look around.
“Where’s Josef?” he asked.
“Balthazar took him down in a wheelchair. Much easier to explain. He is waiting for you at the airport. I will drive back and meet you at Josef’s” she said and walked out of the hotel room. Mick could sense that Isabelle knew what Josef had been up to and that she wasn’t pleased. He felt very sorry for his friend.

After a what felt like a very long flight Mick was happy to be back in Los Angeles and walking through his apartment door.
“Daddy!” Gabriel called out. He ran and jumped into his father’s arms.
“Hey Gabe! I am so glad to see you!” he said as he hugged his son tight.
“Save a hug for me mister!’ he heard Beth say. Mick put Gabriel down and walked towards his wife. Wrapping his arms around her he kissed her deeply and passionately. There was a time when Mick used to jealous of Josef’s advanced age. Jealous of all the things he had seen and experienced.
But after what he’d been through, Mick wouldn’t trade places with Josef for anything.
“You look spent” Beth said looking up at him.
“Babe, it wasn’t good. Josef almost put all of at risk. Balthazar has taken him. He’ll be well taken care of until this phase passes.
“Don’t think that you’re ever going to pull that crap with me!” Beth said with mock anger.
Mick laughed.
“I wouldn’t dream of it.”

Josef was back at Kostan Industries after a two month sabbatical, but looked healthy and back to his normal wise cracking self. Mick strolled into his office.
“Hey Josef. You look good.” He said casually as he sat down in a nearby chair.
“Thanks man. You know the past two months have been like some weird David Lynch movie. I’m not sure what was real and what was not real.”
“Well anytime you want to know just ask.” Mick said with a smile.
“Okay. Isabelle’s been looking at me strangely. What exactly did I do?’
“Let’s just say that you were not yourself”
“So I gathered. There’s something you’re not telling me.”
“Look Josef, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.”
“Ok. But how does that translate into me giving Guillermo my Ferrari and buying Isabelle and Lamborghini?” he asked in wonder.
Mick smiled to himself. Oh that Isabelle was a sly one!

:snicker: Isabell got a great compensation for her troubles, as did Guillermo. But what did Mick get? His family back, okay, but what else? His friend back probably. Mick isn't one for big material gifts, huh?

Isabel seems to be able to turn every situation to her advantage.

Josef will be proud...when he is told about it or figures it out himself.

Well done!
