It has been decided that the future of Los Angeles is one that will be paved with a higher caliber road. The amount of, for lack of a better word, drama that has surrounded the district of Hollywood is something that I can no longer let slide. A few minor disagreements between coworkers is one thing, and could be excused - worked with, even. But being downright unable to adhere to the simplest of guidelines set forth by those above you? That is an entire different story. I'm not going to drag this out, I think that most of you probably saw it coming anyway. 

With the death of Rick, Hollywood will be seeing a much more laid back style - in the form of Jerry. Somehow that gopher looking ball of nerves has grown on me something fierce. I believe the praise that he enjoys most is in the form of strippers and cocaine, but I'm sure a simple head nod would suffice. 

Rest in peace if that's possible, Rick, we will be making an extensive effort to retain the people who once called your HQ a home. 

Jerry - congratulations brother, I have a feeling this is still just the beginning for you.

Rick was a brother to me, a highly esteemed one at that. It is sad that these times had to ultimately boil down to this. I respect the man and his accomplishments around these shores. While I never wished for this to be outcome, I do not say I disagree with the actions taken this evening by Godfather Zoom. Losing a friend is hard; Gaining an enemy from that friend is even harder. 

RIP Don Rick.. I hope you find solace in your eternal rest. Much love and prosperity is to be had for The Empire and the future of Hollywood. 

Jerry takes a shot of his favorite whiskey before heading back to his HQ

Just before Jerry's exit, Bob's face appears in the crowd, chucking a nod before continuing on with his business.... Turning the collar up on his coat, of course.

Don Pietro stepped forward at the end of speech and shook Jerry's hand before he he headed back to his hq and spoke softly

"Congratulations me amico may your continued reign go with out further interruption Cento anni."

BobbyLashley knock's on Jerry's HQ door, One of his Bodyguards comes to the door and tells Bobby to wait. After Bobby telling him who he was he was able to enter. Bobby could smell the fresh paint and the newly pained doors. Bobby hands over a bottle of whiskey to Jerry just to congratulate him on his new home.

"Congratulations Jerry, I can see how much effort you put into this world of ours, wish you all the best for the future."

Bobby quickly heads back to his car to get back to Chicago because he has business to attend to.

Killing your own again. Damn, I always held a lot of respect for you and your linage .there is a reason people seldpm make it to the position you do on a regaulr basis, and you sir, are a fine example of that. 

You let others "do politics for you" while you sit and chip away at whatever it is you are doing. 

You've proven time and time again that you really do have a yellow belly.  You've weakend your city countless times. I can only think that this is a ploy to remain "not a danger" to the big boys in order to preserve your own life. 

I'm undecided if that's genuis or down rite spinlessness

If removing the only piece of the puzzle that doesn't fit is spineless, consider me king of the invertebrates? When you have to put out mini fires all the time due to someones drunken shitstorms, it really only makes sense to snuff the source of it all instead of exhausting your fire extinguisher.

Have an opinion get killed, nice way to lead

Having heard about a crowd going on about recent events, and coming prepared with the trusty dictionary that never failed her yet, she stepped closer to listen in as the discussion took place, if anyone could call it a discussion she thought.  A few choice words caught her attention, so she flipped open the dictionary to the pages containing 'S' then flipped to the right page.  Her finger trailed down the page til she found the word she was looking for then tapped a finger atop the page nodding in agreement to the words spoken earlier.

spine·less  /ˈspīnləs/   adjective

1. having no spine or backbone; invertebrate.

2. lacking resolution; weak and purposeless.

   "a spineless coward"

   synonyms:

   weak, weak-willed, weak-kneed, feeble, spiritless, soft, ineffectual, inadequate, irresolute, indecisive;  cowardly, timid, timorous, fearful, faint-hearted, pusillanimous, craven, submissive, unmanly, namby-pamby, lily-livered, chicken-hearted, limp-wristed, afraid of one's shadow;  informalwimpish, wimpy, sissy, sissified, chicken, yellow, yellow-bellied, gutless, pathetic;  informalwet;  vulgar slangcandy-assed, chickenshit;  archaicpoor-spirited, recreant

She thought the dictionary was very informative in its explanation, smirking at a few of the synonyms her eyes glanced over - chicken, gutless, pathetic, yellow bellied, submissive, ineffectual, indecisive....now there was a word she thought fit good for some people.  She let out a soft chuckle as she read the word chickenshit then nodded as she closed the dictionary awaiting the time to need it again throughout her time here.

I prefer the informal: Wet.

Zoom is wet as fuck.

I have no opinion on Rick or anything he was wiping.

My only concern is the moisture of Zoom.

Have either opinion about Rick or Zoom, only likes the Zoom-Zoom when he got any rogues :p
