The City - chapter ten
Franz’s father Dick arrived for a two week visit. Over the course of the week, the father and son danced around the multiple issues that existed between them. Perhaps greatest among them was the fact that Dick had less than a year to live. Leon tried to create a tense free atmosphere, but with the two alpha males that was near impossible. The same day as Dick’s arrival, the Jersey boys got a call from their banker. Their property assessment wasn’t as high as they’d hoped and they couldn’t secure a more favorable loan.
In Harlem, Omar and Tyler helped Nina move the last of her belongings out of her ex-husband’s half of the four story brownstone they co-own. The stairs were killer.
And in Brooklyn, Frederico’s diet continued, as he tried to flush out his system by only eating raw foods. He maintained that he felt great, but it was frequently necessary to air out his apartment.
Having been kicked out of his gym after Todd told the management that he was dealing drugs from the lockerroom, Martin looked for a new one. Miffed at Todd, he couldn’t get out of his mind the image of Todd and Bad News Tommy dancing together at the Black Party.
Greg returned from Hawaii and Mexico tanned and refreshed. He met up with Tyler and Adam for a cocktail on Thursday and told them about his recent adventures.
