Wolfgang had been waiting for less than an hour when he heard the low hum of an engine approaching. He smiled slightly at the thought that one of his old friends had actually come to this meeting. Part of him had expected that nobody would show up. Taking his feet off the table as the door opened he got to his feet.

Wolfgang's smile widened as he saw Eric enter, he had always been fond of the man since they first met. He walked to him and gave him a firm handshake. "It's good to see you too, I should've known you would be crazy enough to show up here." He patted the man on the shoulder then looked him up and down.

"Can you still fit in your cockpit? You look like you might get stuck." He said with a sly smile. The truth was that if he hadn't had the farm to work on he would likely weigh twice as much as he all those years ago. Walking with Eric back to the table Wolfgang pulled a chair out. "Take a seat, I brought something for us all." Walking to the head of the table where he had been sitting he picked up a small wooden crate and placed it on the table.

"This is mostly wine but I know that's not really your style so, in case you decided to show up, I bought something else for you." Wolfgang reached into the crate and pulled out a large corked bottle and handed it to Eric. "Some fine Austrian wheat beer, you'll not get anything as good this end of Italy." Sitting down at the head of the table again he smiled, the appearance of one of his friends had given him hope that others may also appear. "Have a drink old friend, I'll explain why I invited everyone here if any of the others show up."
