As months turned into years, there were many changes. Michael and Kay got married and had two children. Connie and Carlo Rizzi moved with their children into a house on Long Island, to be near the rest of the family. Fredo was sent to Las Vegas, where the Corleones had bought one hotel and were planning to buy many more. Barzini was taking advantage of the peace between the five families, and was beginning to take over a lot of the Corleone family business in New York. Tessio and Clemenza wanted to fight Barzini before he became too strong, but Michael, who had spent long hours talking to Tom Hagen and his father, learning the family business, told them to be patient. At first, Tessio and Clemenza didn't like taking orders from Michael. They tried to talk to Don Corleone instead. But the old man said: 'Do you trust me?'
'Yes, Godfather,' Tessio and Clemenza replied 'Then be a friend to Michael He's head of the family now Do as he says' One afternoon, Michael sat in the garden with his father Don Corleone had put on a lot of weight and moved very slowly He spent most of his time in the garden, looking after his plants, or just sitting under a tree, drinking wine, thinking about the past. But his mind was still sharp Michael always came to him for advice
'Be careful of Barzini,' he told Michael 'He'll move against you first He'll arrange a meeting with someone that you trust. He'll promise you safety But at that meeting, he'll kill you'
Don Corleone drank some red wine, and suddenly changed the subject 'Are you happy with your wife and children7' he asked
'Very happy,' Michael said softly He wanted to hear more about Barzini, but he respected and loved his father too much to hurry him.
