CHAPTER 201: CHICKENS WITH THEIR HEADS CUT OFF

As the day drug on Willie was working at light speed getting all the facts and figures and needs for such a venture of not one but two transports for the ranches. He also figured into the proposal that during breeding season other ranches could pay for the services of the transports for their residents’ trips to the Z1 and back. It was an ambitious undertaking but Willie had one thing on his mind proved to his grandfather that he was responsible and he could do it. Willie had set an alarm on his messenger system to let them know when he needed to be ready for his trip into the Township to see Vincent.

Madison walked out toward the speeder and there stood Willie beside the speeder ready to go.

"Well aren’t we efficient and on time." Madison smiled at his punctuality.

"Yes, I have to be if I’m to prove to my grandfather that I’m not a screwup and I can do it I have try harder than anyone else." Willie adjusted his position nervously. "I need to prove to my dad and step dad that I am capable of doing something besides getting knocked up fucking up everything I touch. This is my big chance Madison and I cannot blow it."

"Dude, don’t worry about it you got this, just have self-confidence and everything will fall into place." Madison patted his shoulder reassuringly. "Look at me one day I’m a nobody next day I am Mr. Zack’s personal transport driver and I have a new love in my life and we’re going be parents shortly. You have got this made just believe in yourself."

The two young men left out the front gate and headed to Township both of them on a mission.

Madison dropped Willie off at the Jake’s construction office and he headed over to Sonja’s place to talk to her about Benjamin, if she could help them both get ready for coming home day tomorrow it was a first for both of them.

Willie was sitting in the office area when the guy started coming in after shift the clock out and pick up their checks. They were loud and dirty and very rowdy; Vincent walked in and made a beeline to Willie when he saw him sitting. Willie stood up and Vincent couldn’t help himself wrapped his arms around him and give him a very passionate kiss right there in the office. A couple the guys started to whistle and made a couple remarks but they all shut up turned around to give them the evil look.

He walked around behind Willie and wrapped his arms around him placing his hands up on his slightly bulging abdomen. "This right here guys, this is what makes it all worth it my son, our firstborn you just wish were this lucky." Vincent spoke out loudly to the bunch.

Nobody could argue Vincent about being lucky, the big dumb Sicilian had somebody that depended upon him and would make his life worth living.

Jeremiah came by and said his hellos to Willie and wished him well then continued to go get his check.

"You to get ready and cleaned up and meet me and Madison over at the diner I have our orders already place for your supper will be hot and fresh then I have to go back to the ranch tonight but were going to talk before I leave." Willie looked at Vincent expectantly.

Vincent couldn’t tell him no. "I’ll tell Jeremiah, we will both get cleaned up very quickly and will meet you there." He kissed him and walked away and got in line.

---

Madison and Willie were waiting at Constantine’s diner when Vincent and Jeremiah came in, they were both freshly showered and cleaned and had decent clothes on.

Visit walked up and kissed Willie and took a seat, Jeremiah said hello to Madison and Willie then took a seat also.

"Okay 10 o’clock the morning you two need to be ready to go we have reserved seating on the transit to the ranch a year to go straight to the main house knock on the door and ask for Jarvis he will show you to my grandfather’s office." Willie wasted no time. "Both of you need to have nice clothing on because tomorrow is the start of the festivities at 12 o’clock noon, don’t make me send uncle Tim and Madison after you as it won’t be a pretty sight when they get through."

"As long as I’ve been here living on this planet, I’ve never been to a celebration given by the genman and no one that this is the special one called coming home I won’t miss it and I would never be late." Vincent looked at Willie seriously.

Willie grabbed his to go cup, kissed Vincent and told Madison it was time that they got back to the ranch because Benjamin would have supper waiting on him and he dare not displease Benjamin at the state of his term. Both of the young man stood up and left the diner.

"Vinny I don’t have any good clothes I have good work clothes and I have work clothing." Jeremiah looked at Vincent with concern.

"Well Jeremiah looks like we’re going to have to go right down the block to this miss Sonia’s place and pick up some new clothes we don’t have a choice is I’m not disappoint Willie are his family and you won’t either." Vincent stood up decisively. The two young men finished up their meal quickly paid and hustled on down the street to Sonja’s place.

---

Sonja met them at the front with her usual smile and flair. "Boys is late today and we got the big day tomorrow in fact the whole week and were going to be busy so if you need to find something to wear you better find a quick or it ain’t going to be there."

"We have both been invited out for the festivities for the weekend starting tomorrow at noon as guest so were gonna need a haircut no matter how much Jeremiah protest he still going to get those little curls cut off and he needs clean shaven real good because you don’t shave so good and were both going to have to have some clothes." Vincent smiled and cleared his throat. "He needs to be presentable in case he needs someone out there but I need to impress someone’s family and the big man there."

"The young Willie said you would be by here soon for me to take care the both of you don’t worry Sonja can do miracles, so let’s get started today that we you have all your clothing everything ready for in the morning we all are cleaned shaved hairs cut styled by you to do is get up wash your face, brushing your teeth and dress in your new clothes." Sonja started to laughing.

Between miss Sonja and the girls, they got started right away. The first thing to go was Jeremiah’s unibrow and he howled when they pulled the wax tape off. Vincent was laughing until Sonja waxed his neck. Both of the men were given the full treatment by Sonja and her staff. They had nice clad style shirts with jeans and new shoes. When Vincent turned around and saw the mirror, he couldn’t believe his own reflection, Jeremiah wasn’t any better either the two Sicilians no longer looked like city hood rats. Gone were the baggy pants and white Peter style shirts, replacing them was a more polished and refined look for them both.

"Two more miracles have happened in the shop today, you’ll definitely impress the family and you the other young man be careful because you just might find love during the coming home celebration." Sonja snapped her fingers and announced. "Now I got to clean up and get ready to close because we got a long day tomorrow, I will close down for a couple hours taking in the festivities at the Ranch then come back to sale everybody everything, they won’t be enough items to go around for everyone but we will try."

Vincent and Jeremiah took their bags, thanked the ladies and walked back to the Travelodge.

---

It was a late-night for everyone on the ranch trying to make sure that everything was finished and they got a good night’s rest.

Vincent got up Hollering for Jeremiah to get up as he pounded on the access door between the two rooms. Both of the young men were running around like chickens with their heads cut off, neither one wanted to screw this up. They were at the transit stop waiting when their unit pulled up and they boarded on the way to the Z1.
