With the rapid expansion Instas Bin Dippers, he found himself in quite a quandary.   He looks on sadly as many people still sat homeless carrying their R cards to warn they needed shelter and work so he looked on with a little sly grin,   Taking Striphe out he knew what broke people liked best was a chance to think they could win themselves out of trouble.

Wandering into the street he smiled,

"get a couple of the goombas off and let's scam up these n00bs"

slipping a handful of notes to Striphe, Wizardofodds and Baelish he smiled as they drew a crowd-winning at three card monte.   Watching the surprised and flustered look on Striphe's face the crowd offered to bet, teasing them in with 1 win for every 2 losses Striphe quickly turned around the losers baiting them in with bigger and bigger bets each time.    The trick had worked as the crowd started to grow frustrated.

As a police car turned into the street the crowd scattered, as Angelo and Striphe counted their profits.

"Striphe, you served both me and Pete well, it's time we put your talents to better use"

"You will finalise the growth of Loop and go out on your own.  Fact is no one likes you asking for money to gamble, so we said we would auth you just to get rid of you."

Watching Striphe not listen he smiled as he looked on thoughtfully on how to lose the money gambling.

Striphe smiled and extended his hand towards the Godfather shaking it firmly

It has been an honor, pleasure and a journey to get where I am today but then again cannot we all say that after recently.

Pulling some cash out of his pocket he placed a bet with his bookie halfway through his congratulations speech.. completely interrupting things..

Anyways back to business. We live and work in an industry that promotes money, death and loyalty and I will be bringing my best efforts to enhance those traits of our business.

He pulled out a box of cigars and started passing them out to a lot of his friends he saw standing around. A lot of old family, friends and people he knew from around the old block

We will run our business with an Iron Fist and we will do everything in our power to keep the mafia what it was meant to be.

Thank you for this opportunity and it will be a pleasure to work with everyone across the nation in various ways. We will open our doors to both the new and experienced and we welcome you to give us a try if you want a real family.

Striphe placed his cigar down next to the briefcase overfilling with money. He reached out and raised his glass high in the air to salute the future

Aladdin had just arrived in Chicago looking for that Scouse of a man. But from Detroit to Chicago the man was invisible he was perhaps too busy going through Bins from Chicago to Detroit on his way, due to the transfer from the Windy City to Detroit. Regardless, Aladdin was always a man that cherished his friends making a mark in La Cosa Nostra. This was that such day. He came to Chicago to have some tea with GFC Angelo, while looking for Insta. And upon his arrival he was given a great surprise. Looking on as the cops started pulling up behind the men surrounding Striphe. Aladdin listened and then made his way forward, until he saw GF Angelo. He gave the God Father a hug and a firm handshake. Then moving on down the street to his old friend Striphe. 

Your stories are plenty my friend! From helping GF Angelo in the war to the tales from the LV casinos, you are a legend my friend. I can only think to remember when your lineage started here. And how far you've come...minus the gambling of course. He laughs a little. But in all seriousness, this is a grand day. GF Angelo could not have chosen a better person to lead up a crew in Chicago. After the kind of devastation that Chicago witnessed over the last some days, you are indeed the man to lead the reconstruction. 

Aladdin pulls a bottle of nice Scotch that he had acquired going thru the rubble of Jerrys HQ. And presents it to Striphe. 

They say thats a rare bottle. It comes from the blood and sweat of the other night. A survivor of sorts, just like you. Its a prized possession. I hope you enjoy it. Congratulations my friend. Chicago got stronger today.
