Power walked over to small table grabbed a glass and put two ice cubes in it. Then he reached for a single malt scotch and filled the glass, grabbing the glass he turns and heads back to his sold oak desk and takes a seat in his leather chair. Releasing a sigh he takes a sip of his drink. 

He sat thinking of the days that had passed, this war with the Dudens and the incredibly horrid winter had been taking its toll. They had lost people truthfully every family in Chicago had lost people and was going through the same things it was a brutal fight and Tyler just kept sending more and more people. 

Power had spent the day meeting with the high ranking members of his family and then the rest of the time planning and giving orders to his men. 

He was tired and sat at his desk thinking back to how he got to where he was, the choices he had made and the things he had done that brought him here. He was grateful to be here and loved his family that was for sure but how he had climbed the ranks of this family was a bit of a crazy story.

Powerslide had grown up in Chicago's South Side, his family was like many, they had little money his father worked seven days a week just to cover the basics his mother had gotten a job as well cleaning businesses to help out. So Power was left on his own most of the time. He hated school so he found himself on the streets at an early age. 

To get by he started out as a petty thief picking pockets and snatching things from the stands that would line the streets. He would get caught and sent home roughed up by the cops or the stand owners and his father would take to beating him. None of this deterred him actually it made him work harder and become faster, stronger and better at what he was doing. After a while, he stopped getting caught and actually made a name for himself with the others youths that were on the streets. 

When he hit his teen years he had a fascination with cars and started to steal them and sell them to the older criminals and shops around Chicago. After that, he started being a driver for different crews. Soon when someone needed a driver for a job they came to him. He was the best and always got away this is because he would plan everything even secondary routes for if things went sideways, this allowed him to stay ahead of the cops and to get away. 

Powerslide chuckled to himself remembering back to those days as he heard the knock on his office door. He took a sip from his drink and lit a cigarette before answering.

"Enter," he said before the door opened and Tiny entered. 

Tiny walked over and informed Power of the progress his guys had made on their assigned tasks. He sat and listened nodding his head. They were doing well and he was glad to hear it. Power waved his hand and dismissed him. 

Taking another drink from his glass took a long drag off his smoke before thinking back to how he came to the family. 

When he hit his early 20's he was walking down the street when he saw some men jump another. The man that was jumped was well dressed and Power knew him as a member of one of the families. Although he did not know the man's name he sprang into action and helped him. But help came with a cost. Powers ribs where broken he had been stabbed and had a concussion.  When he awoke he was in a doctors office and was being treated by a doctor. As he looked around the room he saw several well dressed men in the room standing around. 

One of them approached Power and introduced himself as Don Capazzo. The man Power had helped worked for him and he wanted to thank Power personally. Then he offered him the ability to work for his family. Power agreed the two shook hands before the Don left. 

It took a few weeks for him to heal and be able to go back to work. He had reported to the HQ and was introduced to the family. He quickly became friends with several of them and started learning and working for Don Capazzo. On more than one occasion Power had to intervene and help members of his family that where being attacked this had earned him favor with the boss and by this, the boss had started teaching him the ways of the family and made him a full member of the family.
