Lex's sister rubs her thick arms, her face pointing towards the floor like a chastised child. "Nothing...you are just reminding me of father right now."
Matt and Vivian make their way across the rooftops before stopping above certain skylight. "OK, now let's take a looksee, shall we?"
As Vivian looks down, she can see the two men from earlier enter a warehouse. You can see matt slowly removing a pane of glass from the skylight so you can hear them talk below.
"Just like the talkies." Matt whispers.

Lex wasn't sure what she was getting at. " Everyone says I'm a lot like dad. Why, what way do you mean?"

Lexi's sister sighs. "I saw the men in here earlier. What do they want?"
Vivian hears the following.
"Yeah, we got our man lined up. Maroni's goons ain't nothing to worry about."
"Good. That is good sign. And the unions?"
"They'll line up with us if we can deliver."
"Excellent. Moscow will be pleased."
Matt looks at you and mouths "Moscow?" His face shows a great deal of confusion.

"They wanted me to do some of the things I did before I moved home." Lex was intentionally vague, then embellished a bit. " I told them no, I was retired. nothing to worry about."

Vivian shrugs at Matt, intending on asking Lex the next time she sees him and keeps listening to the conversation going on below.

Lex's sister nods, saying nothing. "When you are done we have the flour and sugar to be moved into storage." She walks away.
Matt has his pistol out as the men below continue to talk. While you can see the hawk-nosed guy, the man he is addressing is still out of view.
"Good, once Maroni is dealt with, we can take the unions and the farmers. Control production of alcohol and then...we can report back to our superiors that Bolshevism is alive and well in this corrupt "heartland" of America." The man hidden in shadow chuckles.

Lex nodded, "Sure, I'll take care of it. I'll be up in a moment to take care of it." He returned to the workshop long enough to double check he was making good headway, turned out the light and then exited. He locked the door, then headed upstairs to put the order away.

As he lugged the last of the sacks, Lex let out a sigh of releif. He had things ready for tonight except loading the truck, so he had time to kill, but he wanted to know how Viv and Matt were making out. He glanced at the clock and sputtered "Where are they?" before slipping on an apron and heading up to the kitchen.
Rubbing his hands together, he asked, "Okay sis, what's next? Must be something I can do to get ready for tomorrow?"

"Work on the dough." Lex's sister says sharply. "Then, when you finish, there are an order of cakes."
"And the armorer?" The mystery man asks.
"A nobody. No one will miss him." Hawk-nose sneers.
Matt raises his pistol. He looks down, then looks to Vivian, as if asking her permission.

Vivian shakes her head. The mission wasn't to attack them, but to watch silently and report back to Lex. She looks in the opposite direction, indicating they should leave as silently as they'd arrived so they didn't alert the duo below of their presence.

Lex nodded. He knew something was bothering her, but didn't want to press the issue, not with the chance of customers walking in. He started to get ready to mix a batch of dough and said, "Do you want to take a break now and talk, or wait until later?" He didn't want to do either, but he knew he had to sooner or later.

Lex's sister sighs. "No need to talk. Just finish your work. You will close tonight, yes?"
Matt sighs as you head back to the car and wheel out. "So...figure you got a plan?"
