Before he could mourn the deaths of those who had fallen from the recent tragic events, Ishmael had better news to address; A cause for celebration in fact. He had set up a meeting with his right hand - Armin and promising crew member - Severe for 00:30. Before the clock hit the scheduled time, they had arrived just a few seconds early.

"Glad you two could make it. Have a seat." said Ishmael.

Ishmael lit himself a cigar to ease the tension in the room then continued the meeting accordingly.

"Armin, when I took you under my wing, I could tell early on you would spend every second of your day towards the family's betterment. You've proven that over and over again, it was only natural I appointed you as my right hand. We've been through a lot since then, and you've never once failed to meet the challenge. As I told you from the start, loyalty and hard work would be rewarded. So it is without further ado, I hand you the keys to a semi-new HQ." said Ishmael.

Ishmael grabbed the keys to the newly bought establishment out of his pockets then hand them to Armin. 

"You will take Severe along with you on this new adventure. I know you two will do us proud." said Ishmael

He grabbed the bottle of bourbon whiskey and a few glasses he had hidden under the table; he then poured the two men a drink.

"Congratulations you two, I wish you two the very best." said Ishmael

I took a hold of the keys just as quickly as I was handed them. My lineage has been in this line of business for quite some time now, this would mark me as the first to ever run an establishment of my own. Many knew this already, therefore I have a lot to prove and all to lose; and I don’t intend on losing.

"Thank you, Don Ishmael. For this opportunity and for everything. You will not regret this day, I plan to continue the good work you’ve done for the city of Los Angeles and push the crew forward."

I took a shot of the bourbon whiskey then stepped out to take a look at my new establishment. To my surprise, there was many apart of the ceremony. It was a real heartfelt moment, I smile and said my thanks to the masses that showed up then continued to check out the HQ. I’ve always wanted to replace the flooring to something a bit more tasteful, maybe Italian Carrara? Apart from that, the joint was still and very well condition. There was one more thing that needed to be addressed, I made my appearance known as I spoke to the crowd.

"I have spoken to my right hand, Severe earlier and the two of us decided we will better be known as The Recon Corps from now on. Thanks again for everything, it is all very much appreciated."

Caine lights a blunt.

"Congrats Armin and to the city of LA. I wish you both as well as your families the best as you embark on the next stage of your journey"

Caine offers his blunt to Armin

"Armin, congratulations on the new HQ! I look forward to working with your new family! Good times ahead!"

Smelling weed in the air, ReeferMadness frantically lights a joint of his own.
