Falcone was in his crew’s kitchen baking some of his famous cookies for the Maldonado Wednesday crew dinner till he heard the door behind him burst open as he turned around. He noticed it was the magnificent Carmine Maldonado. Carmine looked at the bird and raised his hand. Falcone placed the freshly made cookies on the counter and saluted his boss. Carmine spoke in his monotone voice. “Falcone, I have an important job for you. I need you to go downtown and act as representative of our crew for a meeting with Godmother Olympia. Now, You should go right away. Go now!! That’s an order!!”

Falcone bolted out of the kitchen and through the front doors of the HQ. He managed to run all the way downtown to Altis Club or better known as Godmother Olympia HQ. Falcone cleared his throat and made sure, he made himself look somewhat nice. Falcone Swung open the doors till he noticed it was pretty much empty since it was middle of the afternoon. Falcone yelled out “Is anyone here!!” Before he could react, his face was covered with a bag and knocked out by something heavy. As he opened his eyes noticing the bag was gone. He looked around the room before noticing a woman with a glass of wine in her hand looking back at him. Falcone spoke somewhat confidently “Hello, I am Falcone of the Maldonado Crime Family. I am here as a representative of my crew for an important meeting. I was never told what this meeting was about so what is this meeting about? Godmother” He gulped and gave a nervous smile.

Olympia turned to look as she heard footsteps into her office. She smiled when she spotted Falcone, who spoke to her uneasily.

"It's okay. Don't be uneasy or anything," she said calmly to him. "Have a seat in front of my desk please."

When he seated himself across from her she said, "You were one of only a couple applicants by the time we closed the application process for the ten-man crews in Pasadena. Well, you were selected to set up there, under the advisory of Carmine_Maldonado. So.. That's the news I had for you. What do you think your crew will be called?"

Falcone froze up when he heard the news that he was accepted to run his own crew in Pasadena. He responded back with excitement. "My crew will be known as the Animal Empire" He wipes some sweat off of his forehead and calms down before responding again. He takes a few deep breaths then responded again. "Thank you for allowing me to work with you and I'll be happy to work with Carmine." He slowly moved his wing and held it out for a handshake with the Godmother.

Olympia looked down at Falcone's wing as she gingerly wrapped her fingers around it and shook, then said, "I'm sure you will do well but if you happen to have any questions, I'm pretty much always available! Or you can just send a mail and I'll get a response back fairly fast! I wish you luck with the Animal Empire!"

Conn walked down and patted his friend and owner, @Flacone, on the back. He was a pretty shy boy, but he had congratulate his friend in such a special occasion.

”Congratulations brother! Well deserved, I’m sure you will do your city proud!”

After congratulating his friend, he took out his sax and fell on his knees, playing like an animal.

Falcone shook her hand and nodded but before he could go, He felt a pat on his back coming from his friend Conn. He smiled and thanked him before flying out of Olympia room to Pasadena. 

Thoros was visiting his old stomping grounds in LA to do some business when he decided to visit the area he used to call home. Well, for a while. His first home in this world(not counting his original home in another world) was New York but he would never forget his time in Los Angeles. 

This is a bit late(I do everything late) but congrats on your auth in Pasadena! I really like what you guys have done with Pasadena. Quite a few upstanding people have set up shop here since I left.   

Nefer was happily walking through the city of Los Angeles in her new clothes. The day was pretty and she had walked a lot already trying to find something special to give as a gift to Falcone. He had grown fast and would not have his own family, gang was not a good term to use since he had learned to treat everyone as part of the family, he had always been a good boy and interested in learning how to handle a leader position.

"What could I give to him?" Nefer was lost in her thoughts.  "Hmm clothes? No, this wasn't the right time for that. Maybe a new gun? Oh yes."

She rushes her way to Jace's Army Store. Jace always had special and rare things. After some time inside, she left with a pretty spade.

Nefer drove some until she stopped in front of a new building, this seemed to be the place she wanted. Five guys came close and asked who she was and what she wanted. After some questioning they let her enter Falcone's office. He was sitting there looking at the mountains through his big windows. 

"Congratulations my friend. I bet this is one of those big moments where you sit and say, yes I've made it. I only wanted to let you know that New York will always be open to you if you ever should need anything."

She handed him the present and gave him a hug and then they both started to talk about the good times they've shared.
