On a late Sunday evening, The Possimpables were gathered in their Headquartes to discuss family affairs in their regular weekly meeting. Alex was not really paying attention to Lordian speaking, as he was thinking about how he, again, lost all of his possessions in a long afternoon of gambling, when Jack_Diamond asked some input from Alejandrito, drawing his thoughts back into the meeting

What about you, Alejandrito, do you have something to add tonight?

Of course, Alex answered, to buy some time to think about an answer, but maybe JoliBebe wants to go first?

Jesus, Alejandrito, I just did a whole bloody summary of how I went to James-Coonan's and how I assisted him and Jaysanity with setting up their Headquarters! Where the fuck were you with your mind when I was telling that?!

Alex looked to his right and saw akomulto there, who was too busy looking puzzled at balancing his banking account to notice how Alejandrito was caught at not paying attention. LukaBrazzzi laughed as Alex needed some inspiration urgently

As Raymond_Reddington gave Alex a serious stare, an idea came to Alex's mind, he decided to speak out as he was still formulating where this should go

Lately, I noticed many people have been quite self-focussed and..

to add a little drama, Alejandrito put both hands on his chest

..I, for one, always enjoy the interactivity of the community. I would like to somehow bond the people from all over the country in our world of crime a bit better, if I can..

Across from him, he noticed that TomKirkman actually listened to him. Alex wondered if Tom would actually answer him in the end this time around.. He shifted his head towards their crew leader and continued

..and therefore I would like to ask you, Jack_Diamond, permission to organize a grand Streets Barbecue..

Little Alex made the sign of a rectangle with his hands, imagining the streets top sign

The Possimpable Barbeque

Want to blow some steam? - Want to informally meet up with 'colleagues'?

You're in the right place!

Eat your own food - Eat other's food - Drink your own drinks - Drink other's drinks - Grill your own meat - Grill your business partner

Everyone is welcome!

As he drew out the flyer in the air, he noticed Raymond_Reddington looking at the papers in front of him

It doesn't have to be overly fancy, Alejandrito added, as he remembered the meeting started with some people expressing their concerns about the financial state of the crew account, as the dicing virus in the family, I mean, he continued, we can keep investments low, despite N0b0dy not being welcome!

Jack_Diamond looked puzzled after that last sentence

I mean, everyone should feel welcome, even if you are a N0b0dy.. Apart from that TylerDurden dude, and his gang. They always make a mess at gatherings, Alex added.

If you invite him, at the very least charge him! JoliBebe replied

As Raymond_Reddington asked Alejandrito how he thought he could feed the whole community without splashing too much cash that wasn't there, Alejandrito looked puzzled at Epoch and LukaBrazzzi

A Dutch party..? they simultaneously said

Brilliant! Alejandrito smiled.. He was on a roll now, talking faster, ideas came quick now..

Maybe we can add a dice to..

NO! Jack interrupted him

No dice, Alex, I approve to the overall idea, I can ask leaders in other cities and ask @Marie_Luciano to do the same, have the leaders spread the word about the Great Chicago Barbecue, but there will be no gambling that day!

Farmerboy16 smiled as LukaBrazzzi laughed way too hard about Alejandrito being interrupted, saying

That is a good title of a flyer, boss!

So.. In short... what should we arrange? Continuing after his rethorical question, Alejandrito said

I am sure Wazup can chop some meat to be grilled.. Spaceman may maybe bring something useful from his pharmacy and I will go ask Funshine to bring alcohol. If MS is to bring some friends and Heston to bring some of his famous meat pies, we can definitely keep the costs down!

Who will bring the Chinese Hot Sauce? andrew-christain asked, but he was not really heard by anyone

LukaBrazzzi seemed to get enthousiast, adding

We can make these different stalls, where participants can order some food. I was thinking of manning one of bbq stations at the festival, you know different kinds of sausages: Knockwurst, Merguez, Bockwurst, Cotechino, Coburger Bratwurst, Loukaniko, Chorizo, etcetera..

Raymond_Reddington smiled.. Perfect, Luka! We can make this work! You go and prepare your stand I know where to find some of those stalls, and you know what, Alex? You can start right away, I will make sure the stands are in the streets before you even arrive there tomorrow morning.

Alejandrito hardly understood what happened, actually having come up with an idea others seemed to like.. Awesome, he said, I will pick up some chalkboards on the way there and LukaBrazzzi, you can pick one up when you arrive and write down your personal menu for what you will be selling, all right?

As Little Alex walked off, he thought of how he would start the morning with arranging some live music to set the background atmosphere for all maffiosi all over the country to come unite and interact. This will be grand!

Luka was excited about the whole barbecue idea. What's better than to bring a whole bunch of prominent figures for some relaxing and tasty activities?

He enjoyed a good barbeque since he was a kid. His famiglia used to gather every second sunday to roast some meat on a grill. He even had a looney principal at his school who used to shout at kids: “You can't have your pudding if you don't eat your meat!”.

He never understood those kids because he loved meat. Actually, he loved food in general. If anyone ever wanted to shut Luka up, food was the fastest and most humane solution to the problem.

“Sausages, that’s it!” - was the first thought that crossed Luka’s mind. It was rather simple to cook, fast and there were plenty of sausages to choose from. He even knew a couple of immigrants from European countries other than Italy that ran their butcher shops in town. Possibilities were all there.

After Luka figured out the shopping list he asked a couple of local picciottos to do some shopping for him. Meanwhile he was working on his barbecue stall sign and the menu itself. Couple of hours later everything was prepared. Raymond_Reddington helped with the stall, Alejandrito provided the chalkboard for the menu. After everything was set he proudly pulled of the tablecloth that was covering his stall sign.

Alejandrito was surprised that menu had no prices on it, so he didn't hesitate to ask about it: "Luka, are you sure about the free food thingy?", to which Luka had a simple answer: "Of course, Alex. What's the point of my daily strife and graft if I don't have something to show for it? Besides, we're the ones inviting people and it's a way better way to part with my cash than leave it to Mr. House. In the end, nothing brings people closer than good food."    

Luka was eager to start. After he triple checked that everything was ready, he offered Jack_Diamond to be the first of many to sample what he had to offer. 

After all this craziness going on, Jack let the boys - Alejandrito and LukaBrazzzi - get the barbecue prepared. He was exhausted from working so hard lately and did not really have that much strength left. He decided to take a rest for a couple of hours. LukaBrazzzi had just finished with his stand and as Jack walked by it he stood up in front of it and gave it a good look.

"Nice stand you've got over there Luka! Are you sure we can afford everything being free? Alejandrito isn't doing that good with his gambling addicition lately.", Jack said and sighed before continuing "Meh.. Screw it."

"FREE SAUSAGES FOR EVERYONE", he yelled and got some really strange stares. He realized how that could be wrongly interpreted and lowered his head in shame.

"Nice work Alejandrito", Jack mumbled to Alejandrito.

"What was that boss? AMAZING WORK YOU SAID?", Alejandrito yelled.

Jack gave Alejandrito a dead eye and flipped him the finger. "I'm off for a while. Make sure not to turn this BBQ into my worst nightmare, alri-" and before he finished his sentence, Alejandrito interrupted him.. "Yeah, yeah.. Everything will go seamlessly. No worries!", he grinned.

"Oh God.. I can't handle this right now", Jack said and left without having the power to scold Alejandrito. He hoped that Lordian and Epoch , as they were the level-heads in this family, would be able to contain him. He then thought about it again and was sure of the devastation that was coming.

Free sausages for everyone!

Jack_Diamond yelled, probably to draw Reginald's attention as the latter was obviously flirting with Becceh. Quite some people turned their heads, wondering what Jack meant. Fortunately, Alejandrito knew.. He walked over to LukaBrazzzi's Sausage Party stand, where Funshine was standing, mouthwatering over the wide variety of sausages. He was in a deep ongoing conversation with LukaBrazzzi about the Loukaniko's and both were looking how Arsonist, who had volunteered, was furiously firing up the barbecue.
 
Alex walked over to them and noticed the fire was quite high and intense for 'just a barbecue'. As Jack stepped up to Alex, to whisper a long string of compliments to him about the organisation, Alejandrito was proud to get Jack_Diamond's full support and to have received a proper carte-blanche from him to do everything he wanted make this barbecue a success. Before he would go and try the Boerewors, he stepped on the podium, clapped his hands hard  to draw everyone's the attention away from Joy, and spoke out loud..

Ladies and Gentlemen, as the flames go higher and the barbecue burns, burns, burns..

with great pride, I present you.. the amazing..

..he paused as he raised his right arm..

JohnnyCash!

Alejandrito started applauding as he made space for Johnny to take place on the improvised stage..

With all attention directed to the stage, the guests hear a deep voice from the opposite side of where the stage is located, it appears to be a song of some sort but the lyrics are inaudible.

As the voice is moving towards the stage, the lyrics become clearer to hear;

Alejandrito helped to start tonight's fire.
as the event went on, on, on, the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns,
this arsonist's fire, that he calls "barbecue" fire.
