After Sal left the meeting with his Don Uncle Joe, he went to his steakhouse down the street. Sal entered the restaurant, said hello to all the familiar faces having dinner that he saw on the way back to his private office. Sal unlocked the door and entered. He sat down at his desk and opened the drawer at the bottom of his desk. He took out a bottle of scotch that he had been saving for a special occasion and poured himself a glass. As the liquor hit his tastebuds, he leaned back in his chair thinking about all the events that lead him to this night.

He thought about how he was brought in off the streets by his longtime friend Joseph_Ligambi as a new solider. Joe had stuck his neck out there to get him his first job in the Capazzo Crime Syndicate. This was where Sal's journey really began. The leaders of The Capazzo Crime Syndicate had taught him many things about this thing of ours. Sal thought about how he had risen through the ranks to be Uncle Joe's underboss and all of the things Uncle Joe had taught him about this thing of ours.

There were many valuable things Sal had learned from Joe but the most important in Sal's eyes was the commitment not only to his own city, but also the commitment that Joe had to letting go of old vendettas, and focusing his efforts to strengthen ties with various leaders around this thing of ours. Sal would without a doubt cherish these ideals as he moved to the South Side to set up his own family.

Sal then thought about all the people that had helped him get to this point. Some of them had passed on...and so badly Sal wished they were still here for him to thank. Picking up the phone he called the members of his family to come and join him at the restaurant for some special news.

After everyone had arrived Sal began....

"Im glad you all could make it here tonight I have some special news to share!" I have been given the opportunity by Don Joe Ligambi to make my move to the South Side and start up my own operations."

Sal looked around at all the faces listening to him...and continued.

"The goals that I have for the South Side are very similar to that of Old Uncles Joes. I wish to continue to grow Chicago and creating lasting relationships and peace with other cities. I hope we all are able to grow peaceful business operations and line our pockets nicely while doing so."

"Lastly, I want to take a moment to thank Joseph_Ligambi publicly for giving me this opportunity, as well as all of you that are in attendance this evening. Words cannot describe how thankful I am to have you all by my side.

Sal motions to his staff to bring out the bottles of champaign...when the glasses are filled Sal raises his and says

"To peace and good fortune of my fellow Bosses in all the various territories! It is time for a celebration my friends! Everything is on me this evening!"

Sal smiles and takes a drink of his champaign and looks around the room feeling almost like he was living a dream. How lucky he is to be in this position

Congratulations, Sal!  It will be great to see Chicago flourishing again!

Salvatore had been called to the bosses steakhouse for an announcement. He showed up and sat at the and ordered a drink, as was his usual Luca liked to be places early. He sat there sipping his scotch when Sal got up and started talking. He sat there and listened smiling. He was happy that Sal got the nod to run his own crew. He was a good man and earned it. 

As sal finished he Luca raised his glass and saluted the man on his journey. 

"Congratulations my friend," he said as he approached the man. 

"You will be missed around the HQ but I look forward to working with your family," he said embracing the man.
