Tony caught Sami. "Finally" he said, breathing heavily. He called a big guy over to carry Sami up the stairs while Tony followed.
After a knock and enter, Sami was placed in a chair in front of Giovanni at his desk. After 10 minutes, one of the lackeys ran smelling salts under Sami's nose.

Sami - as soon as she regained consciousness - began thrashing in the chair.
"I DIDN'T DO IT-!"
She made the chair fall over.
Blinking, she realized where she was and coughed, not moving for a moment.
"Ah... I knew that."
Picking herself up, she pulled the chair straight and sat in it again, her hands in her lap with a faint blush on her cheeks.
She chuckled nervously.
"Well, can't be smooth all the time," she amended, a sheepish smile on her face as she looked at Giovanni. "'Ello there. Nice to meet you."

Giovanni just nodded his head. "So I heard you saved one of our own. One question. What were you doing in that area where he was assaulted to begin with?" he asked.

Sami blinked.
"Oh, just driving around. I wanted to get a vanilla ice cream cone from one of those 24-hour drive-thru restaurant places, and after that maybe go to one of the 24-hour Starbuck's off Main Street and buy a Strawberries and Cream Frapp with whipped cream and a bear claw!" She inwardly melted at the mental image before shaking herself out of it and laughing sheepishly again. "Ah, sorry about that. I'm just kind of a big fan of food."

"I'm sure we all are" Giovanni said, "next question, why did you help him?"

Sami blinked again.
"Well, I would've thought it obvious," she replied, her excited demeanor over food drifting away. "I mean, it was like, what - ten against one? What had he ever done to those guys to make them point a gun to their heads?" She realized she was ranting on and lowered her eyes, gazing at her hands. "I just thought... that he needed help. I mean, I know it wasn't any of my business, and I had no idea why they were doing what they were doing, but... I'm sure whatever reason it was... wasn't good enough to take a human life." She raised her eyes to gaze at Giovanni again. "I just thought... the odds were bad. If you're going to try and kill someone, at least give them a fighting chance so you can say that you defeated them proudly, right? Instead of just like a coward. I dunno... I..." she gazed down at her hands again. "I just... did it. I'm not really the type to think when I see a man outgunned in an empty street with no help coming, I guess."

Giovanni nodded. "Fair enough, fair enough" he said, "now tell me, have you any family members in the organization?"

Sami blinked.
"Oh, no," she replied. "I don't have any family members at all, really. None that I care to remember, anyway."
Besides, all the ones that I DID care to remember are all dead, so what's the point?

"I see..." Giovanni said
((I'm having a brainfart. I don't know what else to say))

There was an awkward silence for a moment before Sami cleared her throat.
"So..." she began, daring herself to speak. "Is that... the only reason why you called me?" Then she remembered something else and the vein in her left temple twitched. "And is that the only reason why that Tony person threatened me multiple times AND drugged me?"

"Please forgive Tony. He's always a bit...cautious" Giovanni said.

Sami pulled a face.
"Paranoid is more like it," she muttered. "But then again, I suppose it's natural, being a part of the mafia and all." Then she blinked as something occurred to her, and she smiled, clapping her hands together in a praying gesture. "I hope I'm not imposing, but... might you have some cheesecake?"
((Good God... it never leaves her mind for an instant, does it? xd ))

"Umm...I'm not sure. Why?" Giovanni asked.
((I'm heading off. see ya))

((Toodles. ^_^))
Sami chuckled nervously.
"Well... uh..." a soft blush stained her cheeks as she giggled sheepishly. "I hope you don't mind... but I have a really bad sweet tooth..."
