Hennessy only knew the situation with her boyfriend for as long as she could remember. This to her seemed like forever. It was just like every other day until Mike, and his friends, got home and insisted on going to the club. She assumed this would...
"Wow, it's even more beautiful than I imagined. Thank you for inviting us cappo!" Alice exclaims in awe.
"Yeah just remember we are here in business." James says in a stern voice
"Oh dude I can't wait to hit the pools and meet some greek babes." Austin nudges James and laughs "What a perfect place to find a greek goddess"
Alice rolls her eyes and looks at Leland who is also laughing. James ignores him and grabs his bag then they pile in the car.
"I rented a house for us. I thought it would be more professional than staying at a hotel. It's even close to the main areas and the clubs for *cough* some people." James looks at Austin who is nodding

What had only been a day in the office felt like 10 years since any work was done. Nobody really knows what to do except just show up and socialize. No responsibilities, no stress; the boss wasn't here. There were multiple chill and break rooms throughout the whole building and every one of them seemed to be filled with laughter and drinks being poured. All the offices were empty except for one... James'.
Hennessey wanted to take time for herself but she found herself cleaning in that mindset of fear that things still have to be done when your man isn't around. as she is dusting his desk she accidentally hit James's keyboard. her eyes widened in realization that it had never been turned off. She puts down the cloth and carefully sits in his chair. nobody had even realized Hennessey was missing from any of the break rooms so it was easy for her to do her own thing.
She snoops around to find one thing, something...anything. "Damn for being a mafia leader you'd think he would have more passwords on his shit." Hennessy whispered to herself
She finally finds his emails; a gold mine. Scrolling through with a delicate touch she finds his contacts.

Athens, Greece
James sat on the balcony with a whiskey sour listening to the waves crash against the rocks below. Alice sat a ways away on the couch reading a book.
"It's beautiful here don't you think?" She says in a soft tone while her eyes still scan her book
James takes a sip. He licks his lips then laughs "It is but everything seems to be white here." He didn't have a care in the world. He knew he should have been thinking about how things were being handled at home but all he could do was enjoy the peace.
Alice looks around at the view. "I'd love to live here one day! The slight breeze that always dances through the air, cute towns, and restaurants. it's like you're on vacation everyday. Where would you like to live cappo?"
James swirls the ice around in his glass. "I haven't really thought about it but wherever my career takes me. I have to stay loyal to the family."
Alice looks at James then goes back to reading her book while he continues looking behind the horizon.

It was quiet. almost too quiet but hennessy could still hear the background noise of other people and the music playing throughout the building. What trumped all of that was her Heartbeat that surrounded the room.
She didn't know what she was looking for but then she notices a man named Shi Lee Wang; with the contact of "leader of the north side". She knew this was right. In the back of her mind she remembered seeing this everywhere. Joe's computer, heists against them, background talk with James and Leland.
Thoughts of this could be it, flood her mind. and the research began.

Athens, Greece
*clink* "Cheers!"
Sounds of glass clinicing fills the room while everyone toasts champagne.
"To our first night in Athens!" Alice exclaims as she raises her glass. "Hopefully to a lot more" she said under her breath that drowned out with the sound of celebration.
"Haha so what does everyone say? the club tonight?" Austin nudges James "Come on let's have some fun while we're here." He pauses and smirks "find some greek babes?!
Leland and Austin start bumping into each other trying to raise the hype. They look at James to hopefully convince him.
James joins in on the nudging and yelling. He laughs and nods.
Alice sips her champagne and rolls her eyes. "Boys will be boys."

The sun was setting and Hennessy seemed to be the one one in the office. Everyone's gone for the night and it caused an eerie feeling. She taps her finger on the mouse while she continues to scroll through the internet hoping to find something on Wang.
All of a sudden the door slowly opens. A head pears through the doorway. He was short, pale, and had her teased black hair almost covering all of his eyes.
"Oh hello? I didn't expect anyone to still be here. Who are you?" the young man said
Hennessy is stunned. "My name is Hennessy. Sorry I'll leave now." She gets up quickly and minimizes the computer
"oh? so you're hennessy. Well hi my name is Donny. We haven't met yet." He comes fully into the room now and puts his hand out to shake
Hennessy just looks at him
Donny looks around the room while walking over to the desk "Hmm if you're trying to find something...good luck James is very secure about shit."
Hennessy sits back down in the chair. "Clearly not." she laughs "i accidentally hit the keyboard and it turned on."
Donny looks down at Hennessy sitting "You don't say. That's weird, I'm honestly surprised." He put one arm down on the desk for balance then used the other to see what Hennessy was looking up. He leans over and starts reading her research.
"Well if you wanna find out deep information about Shi then Joe's computer is the way to go. We have files for everything you won't find much here." Donny explains
Hennessy is hesitant on how James would react to her hanging out with a guy, but she felt a sense of trust. Besides, it's just business...right?
