As soon as Reed and Skylar leave the office, Tito runs after them. 'I can show you where all the local sites are!' he exclaims, as they proceed to walk toward the parking garage. He tells the guys of several interesting sites nearby they might be interested. Also, he thinks he knows a better place to stay than Gordon suggested, not to put down Gordon's suggestion. Its just Tito has lived here all his life and knows more about the city than Gordon does, since Gordon only moved here less than a year ago. Once they reach the garage, Skylar and Reed have agreed to let Tito be their guide. As they get off the elevator on their level, Skylar says, 'That's our Mustang over there. The dark blue one.' 'Well, what a coincidence!' says Tito. 'You parked right beside Gordon's new Corvette. You should hear him rave about that car. But your 'stang looks like it could give his 'vette a good run for its money!' 'Well, we don't have the liberty to find that out, Tito. We are only driving Eleanor, that's her name by the way, across country to a friends house in Miami.' says Skylar. 'Yeah!' says Reed. 'You wouldn't believe some the troubles we've already had since we left San Diego!' They all get into Eleanor and Tito directs them through traffic. In short order, they reach a quaint looking bed and breakfast cottage. I know, you are going to groan on this one, but, yeah, it is owned by his Mother. I can hear the moaning now from my readers. It is an old formula, but hey, it works here. Tito's Mother is very friendly and is taken with the boys right away. She gives them a 'special' rate. They get checked in and Tito helps them move their bags into their room. It has a very comfortable feel to it. They love the decor. They sit around and visit for quite awhile till Reed happens to check his watch. 'Hey, we have to meet Gordon in 45 minutes! I have an idea. Tito, do you think you would like to join us for supper? If so, I'll clear it with Gordon.' 'Well sure, if he says its okay. I don't want to get on his bad side. Right now, he is my sole source of income.' Reed gives Gordon a call and Gordon is pleased that Tito took the initiative to become friends with the guys. 'Sure, Tito is more than welcome. He even knows the place. Tell him its that little bistro I like so well. He knows!' 'Okay. We'll see you in 45.' says Reed as he signs off. -------------------------- M4 and D3 characters. Rendered in Poser 9.
