It was decided. @Romanreigns and Shaggs had spent almost two days sequestered in Seattle working on a plan. It really was a gorgeous city if you could get past all of the rain. Seattle was an untouched land, there had been some great men who had started to make their mark on it when the Commission had opened up the city but it had been decided that there needed to be a bit more structure.

The two Godfathers had gone back and forth over many ideas, many good, some bad, but it kept coming back to one person. There was a guy on the West Coast who had consistently proven himself to have what it takes. He started as a Left Hand, moved his way to Right Hand. Then the lad got his own crew and shined. At this point it wasn't surprising at all when he got his own district and thrived. It only seemed right that when the opportunity arose that he would be the one who would get the shot. Roman and Shaggs smiled and shook hands, knowing they had the right person for the job and went to inform him.

TonyCastelli had been as good a friend as Shaggs could have ever asked for. Looking back at the days when they were young and he was back in New York with @Insomnia and the gang Tony had been just a young buck who had joined his crew early on before any of them had made a name for themselves. He was the literal definition that hard work pays off and that you don't have to have coffee shop allies to get where you want to be in life. Shaggs couldn't wait to give him the news. He called Tony over from Summerlin to Seattle where he and Roman had been sitting and waited for him to arrive. 

Once he was there, there was no point in putting it off any longer. Shaggs shook Tony's hand, still noticing the scar from long ago. 

Tony my friend, as you know we have been working on what we want to do with Seattle. It is still an untouched paradise and we both feel like it needs a strong hand to guide it forward in what will be fruitful times but also a firm hand to guide it in the days that will be more difficult. Roman and I both feel as though you are the right person to accomplish both of these tasks. 

So TonyCastelli, if you accept, you will be able to move your operation to Seattle and be given full control of the city. What will it be my friend?

Tony had received a summons from Godfather Shaggs and Godfather RomanReigns to go immediately to Seattle. He had no real idea of what was about to happen, but he assumed it had to be something very important.

When he arrived to the city he was taken by car over to where the two men awaited his arrival. There was not much of a hint on their faces since they did not look angry or happy. Tony sat down in front of them and Shaggs poured him a glass of whiskey before speaking. As he spoke there were many thoughts and memories that ran through his mind....

When he first joined the Mystery Machine with an invitation from KatyPerry who was the mother of VictoriaValium. Then there was when he had recruited Jones and Monika who were now both holding positions within the upper structures of Las Vegas. He could remember the early days of chatting with Joy as often as he had time to do so. There were also many that were lost along the way that he would not yet forget, although picturing their faces was a bit difficult still. 

He could recall when TheButcher first joined and brought a spark of laughter to the HQ in Summerlin. There was also the friendship of Jasmine and DesireeKaira that had blossomed even after their mothers had passed and shared a similar bond. There was of course Prof-V-Jameson who was a long time friend from the early days of the Mystery Machine as well and would always be a good friend.

There was Frankie-Messina and SullivanBlack who came back to Summerlin to work with him for quite some time now and would now be taking on the task of running the other district of Seattle for him. There was also the fond memory of being able to set up Klejnot and The_Kid who had been strong members of his crew from very early on.

His Made Men and above had been there for quite some time helping him along the way. He would have to thank Blooter, Junebug, DarGabrielson, HesterDunn, Shinni, and TonyCardello for all the work that they had put in so far. He had a lot of people to thank and some that he may forget to get to, but he hoped that they would all know how appreciative he was of what they had helped him accomplish so far.

There were some other old faces who had yet to make their bones and a few new faces that would be working hard to do just that as well....

"TONY! EARTH TO TONY!" He realized that he had zoned out for quite some time and Shaggs and Roman were looking at him with some concern.

"Sorry, I got a bit lost in some memories. But I understand what you're asking and I will accept. I'll move myself and my people to Seattle. We'll do our best to live up to expectations creating a great city." Tony smiled.

They stood up and shook hands. Now there was work to be done....

The shopkeeper stared and hesitated for a second as Dar put the sandwiches and milk on the counter. It was awkward really as if this most common transaction needed any further explaination before it could proceed. Dar just pushed the products a bit closer towards the man, hinting even more clearly that this will be all. 

"One second sir, let me add these apples for you as well. Fresh and juicy and it's on the house, sir." The man quickly said while rushing to get some fresh produce. A faint smile appeared on Dar's face. Perhaps it was to be expected that some of the local entrepeneurs felt a bit shaky learning that a big operation from Vegas had set up shop in their beloved city. In time they'll learn that the arrival of Villainy and it's sister operations would only bring progress to Seattle. Dar put some dollars on the counter, smiled at the man and went back to their new headquarters.

Back at the HQ, he quickly threw the apples at different Goomba's to check their morning reflexes. The most sleepy one of them took it to the chest, resulting in some friendly shoves and a salvo of laughters of those around him. 

"Wake up, boys!" Dar shouted. "We're in Seattle now and we've got work to do!" The headquarters felt energetic with everyone bustling around setting up their new home. The door to Tony's office was open and Dar stepped in, seeing the man himself sipping on some coffee.

"I've got the family some breakfast from the grocery store down the block, boss." Dar said. "The local people have their natural reservations when as big a group as ours moves in, but I'm confident that we will get along just fine here. If I hadn't mentioned it already, congratulations on this move, sir. It's a fine recognition of what you brought so far and it will be exciting to work alongside you and the others to bring prosperity to this city."
