Knowing, hoping really that Reeve would tell Paulie that he had visited as the Spaniard left Europe. He was still sick when he got off his long plan ride back to the U.S. where he went to New York. Visiting always seemed like it was the best thing to do. He hadn't talked to Samuel in ages. Or it felt like it had been ages anyway. Searching for his apartment complex and number he looked almost all morning. Finally being successful he knocked, taking out a handkerchief Red coughed a few good times into it as he waited. Putting it away quickly. That walk through the rain in Europe wasn't a good help to his cold.

A few barks came as the reply to Red's knocks. First they were startled, confused, then excited, and curious to see who was at the door. The barking came from Samuel's doverman pincher Lucifer, or better known as Lou. He was a big dog, but a lazy, gentle thing over all. He was generally Samuel's dog but he always loved to see Red. In his mind, Samuel is master, but Red is Daddy. Sameul had grown quite a bit since his scrawny high school days, when he was just about as short as most of the girls. Dispite this growth spurt, he was just about as tall as Paulie was compared to Red, but the Black nation was always happy to see his friend. "Alright, alright, hold on." He walked to the door, pushing Lou back and looking out the peephole. "Well, I'll be damned...." he opened the door, grinning at his buddy. "Long time no see Mr. Red Nation."
(Samuel is in one of the Fanfic's Vashie posted, I just never made a charrie sheet for him. =D)

Red grinned a bit hearing Lou's bark, he knew that dog since Samuel had first got him and lived to spoil him. "Why, hello Mr.Black natio...." And then he quickly pulled out that hankerchief and sneezed into it giving his nose a small blow just to be sure that it was clear, putting it away he sniffled and gave that familiar 'Red grin'. "How'ya been Sammy-boi?" He asked looking past him closer to the floor. Inhaling quickly he smirked. "Louuuuu?~" He called out playfully as possible. "Where's my baby?" He waited to see that 'fat puppy' he knew so well.

"Oh...don't worry, he's not a baby anymore..." Samuel turned around, stepping out of the dogs way. "Go get 'im Lou! Go get daddy!!" He grinned as the no longer fat puppy bounded towards Red, jumping on him and attacking his face with loving licks. He was about up to Red's shoulders when he stood on his hignlegs and he was healthy thin, unlike his spoiled puppy days. "I've been taking good care of him...and he's grown quite a lot since he last saw you." Sameul mused, leaning against the door, grinning as Lou drowned Red in loving slobbery kisses. "So..what brings you here?"

"Ah, the usual......visiting, sick.....lonely days, you know....." He picked Louie up as though he was still a puppy and brought him on into the house. "Thatssa good boy Lou! Who's my babyyy!?" He played with him, always loved having Lou around, something to play with and spoil and love on. "Who wants a treat? Huh? Who's beena good boy?" He grinned looking at Samuel to declare that this grown dog wasn't going to stay unspoilt for too much longer.

Sameul just grinned, glad to see his friend again and Lou was more than happy because now he was going to get a treat for no good reason. He ran around, then jumped on the couch, and laid ontop of Red, comepletly acting like a baby. Sameul pulled up the lazy-boy chair, and lit a cigarette. "So...whats the deal with you and Paulie?" He hadn't really kept in touch since his last mission and he was really surprised that Red actually found him. "...If you don't mind me asking that is..." Lou moved a little closer to Red, practically laying completely on his lap, nuzzling at him, getting his attention.

Red petted Lou. "Yea.....No, we broke up a while back and I dated for a while...." He began to fill Samuel in on what he had missed in his life, sighing every now and again as he kept making sure that Louie was getting his attention. Scratching behind his ear, petting, patting, not really looking at Samuel. He gave a small cough to clear his through as he got more comfortable on the couch.

Samuel listened carefully, taking in the information and scolding Lou when he was interrupting. He waited until Red had finished to put in his thoughts. "Well, thats pretty....shocking really, I'd never would have guess that you guys broke up, well, longer than the usual petty fights and such..." He thought a moment, then got up, going to the fridge and pulling out two beers. "Wanna drink?" He asked, bringing two, dispite the other's answer. He retreated back to his seat as Lou jumped down to make sure what he had wasn't something he could eat, then he ran abck and jumped on Red's lap, licking his chin and begging for more attention. "Look,you just got here and he's already whining for you to spoil him." Samuel complained setting the bottle down close to Red on the coffee table.

Red was petting that grown puppy all over, playing, the dizziness not feeling too horrible. It died down a bit and he grinned looking over the nice cold beer. That and some cold medicien was all he needed. "Got anything for a cold?" He asked with slightly blocked nazzel passage ways. He wasn't going to let Lou get sick because of him. Reaching down and popping the top from his drink he took a healthy gulp.

"I'll see what I got, but last time you had a cold, you told me beer was the only medicine you needed...what happened to that Red?" He teased going into the kitchen. His phone, which was place upon the counter, vibrated harshly, moving among his little area. He pulled out something that looked good, from the description on the box anyway and checked his phone. "Is Red @ yur plc?, how is he?" The text read, under the picture of Paulie. He looked around a moment, as if it would be taboo to talk back, after him and Red broke up and everything, but he did respond. "Yea, he is, lil'cold, but fine. Y? u want2 tlk?" He waited for the response, which came rather quickly. "No, jus chekN, thanx." "No prob." With that he took the box of pills into the living room with a soda. "Here, but I don't think you can take it with alcohol." He decided not to tell him that Paulie texted him, instead he aimed to drive his mind away from the direction by staying up all night, sitting on the couch, eating pizza and drinking beer, a regular hangout night for the two childhood friends.

Red groaned. "I'unno, I think I've lost four or five pounds since I caught this stupid fucking cold and I'm tired of throwing up everything I eat and drink.......For God's sake just don't tell mi mama.....si?" He asked knowing that Samuel knew small talk in Spanish. He took the pills, getting two out and downing them with his beer, he didn't want a soda it would be rather silly to open something that would be wasted after one swallow. "So, was that Johnathan?" He asked curiously seeing that he spent time with his electronic devise.

"huh, oh nah, don't worry bout it." He murmured, stuffing the phone into his back pocket. "Wanna watch a movie, I got some good ones last week." He pulled open a drawer under his television, going through the dvd's for something filled with blood, violence, suspence, etc. "So, got any favorites or do you just want to watch something random." He really didn't want to bring up anything dealing with Red and the Frenchman. For one, it was the fact that they broke up that got Red sick in the first place, and underneath Red's hard outer shell, he was kind of soft...somewhat, but the last thing Samuel wanted to do was make him uncomfortable. "Johnathan is in germany right now, he's in some meeting I think...you know how he is." He grinned, thinking of him, getting Red on different subjects.

"Yea, yea I know how /both/ of you are....I don't think either of you have changed very much either huh?" He asked trying to think through movies that he had wanted to see or re-watch. "Hmm...Samuel this is a hard one.....I don't know, you pick something that you think is worth watching...." He wasn't too much on movies but he could manage watching one. At times he would talk through them unless they could really hold his attention.

You know those times when you tell yourself that your not going to do something and in the end you end up doing it anyway and then you wonder why you went through all the worthless trouble in the first place....well this was one of those times. "Hey Red, I know you probably don't want to talk about it, but I mean, if you really do still care about him, why don't you do what you always did and go get him back. I don't mean right now though!" He caught himself, quick enough to keep the spaniard from doing anything irrational in his condition. "I know you say that we didn't change much, but I mean, what happened to the old you?" He still fumbled through the movies, picking ones to choose from, narrowing it down.

"I guess I got a little older....I mean, heh, I lost him using my usual tactics so I guess I didn't really think about it......you know. I caught him out on a date with another guy. So I did what I thought was a good idea and went over, exchanged a few words and minor hits but Paulie defended this guy like he really liked him......" He stopped for a moment letting this sink in again. "I just thought that I wasn't enough for him or something.....ya know?" He asked stroking Lou's fur slower with less affection. "Samuel what did I do to make him leave?" He had been asking himself that same question for a long while now and was hoping that his good buddy would have a better idea that himself.
