Logan asks: "Ricardo, is there a chance of getting pizza in here? And something to drink?"

The nurse smiles and says: "We can get anything in here. And if we can't get it ourselves, we'll just call Dino."

Logan chuckles and says: "You have this family figured out already."

Ricardo says: "It's really impressive how much he gets done, but what really stands out is the love you all have for each other."

Logan smiles and says: "Yeah man. They don't do anything halfway in this family. And they welcomed me with open arms. So special. And I am sure we can get pizza in here. I'll just call Mister Gentile." He grabs his cellphone from the nightstand and calls the pizzeria. And they are obviously willing to make them a pizza Devastazione and Diavola right away.

It doesn't take long for a Gentile nephew to walk in with the pizza, a small bottle of wine, and a bottle of water. He puts it all down on the table and looks at Scorpia for a second. He speaks in a bright tone and says: "Enjoy your meal! Mister Gentile said he made them with a lot of extra love this time."

Logan whispers in Scorpia's ear: "Bonnie, there's pizza Devastazione and Diavola. I am going to eat some of it with Ricardo, okay? I'm still close to you, but I don't want to spill anything on this wonderful bed." He kisses her softly and turns her on her back gently. 

He gets up and says: "Come and eat with me, Ricardo. You don't want me to sit there alone and sad, do you? And you can take a sip of the wine. Because I shouldn't do that with the morphine in my system, right?"

Ricardo gets up and they sit down at the table together. Logan opens the boxes and Ricardo stares at the pizza Devastazione. Logan chuckles and says: "Scorpia came up with that one when she was ten years old. Mister Gentile came up with the name, Devastazione, disaster if you will. And this pizza is not on the menu. Her favorite along with the Diavola."

Ricardo grins and says: "She really is a woman with a lot of layers. Makes her very intriguing."

Logan nods and says: "Oh you really have no idea. This is just the tip of the iceberg. And to be completely honest here, I don't even know her that well yet."

Ricardo says: "Good enough, Logan. That's crystal clear to me."

Logan pours a bit of wine for Ricardo and some water for himself. He grabs a slice of the Diavola ad takes a big bite. "Mmmm, so good."

Ricardo grabs a slice of the Diavola too and takes a bite. He starts to cough and stares at Logan in disbelief.

Logan chuckles and asks: "Too hot for you?"

"Jesus! And she eats this one too?"

Logan nods and looks at the bed for a minute. She looks very relaxed without him and he hopes that's a good sign. He happily takes another bite from the pizza Diavola. 

Ricardo puts his piece down and grabs a slice of the Devastazione. He takes a bite, moans softly, and as soon as he has swallowed it, he says: "Wow. It looks horrible, but it tastes amazing!" He takes another bite and looks at Logan with an inquisitive look on his face.

Logan is chewing on his last bite of the Diavola. He takes a sip of water and makes eye contact with Ricardo. "What is it you'd like to know Ricardo?"
