harison smiled as Aphotic entered his office. The two shook hands, and the Don offered him the seat opposite his own. "Thank you for coming, Aphotic," he said sliding a glass across the table to him. "Salute!"

"Salute!" Aphotic responded sipping at the contents. It was good whiskey, not that he expected anything less. "What do you need, boss? What can I do for you?"

harison leaned back in his chair and set his glass on the desk. "Hollywood."

"Hollywood?" Aphotic asked, a little confused.

"You know...the hills, the movies. Business....potential...," he added catching Aphotic's eye.

"Potential..." repeated Aphotic, a smile creeping onto his face. "There's a lot of money in those pictures, Boss. A lotta money. Seems like they should probably be paying somebody, right?"

"You read my mind, Aphotic," the Don chuckled. "We're all set here, Downtown belongs to us. It's time for the family to expand and I think Hollywood is ready for the taking. Take a couple of soldiers with you to get started, Uncle_Nicky and Desmond too, they know the business and what you need to get a foothold. I expect you to run the local gangs outta town or turn them to working for us." harison rose from his seat and grinned at Aphotic. "United Nations needs more real estate."

Excitement building, Aphotic swelled with pride. "I'm your man, Boss. Just say the word and I'll secure a spot in Hollywood and have us up and running."

harison took a moment, then nodded. "Aphotic, I want you to start a new branch of the family in Hollywood. You'll be the boss. Bring the picture houses and the filmmakers in line, tax them and roll out our money-lending operations. Sweet talk, threaten, bully...whatever it takes, Aphotic. Whatever it takes.

Aphotic stood and embraced the Don. "Consider it done, Don harison. Consider it done."

Diego greets Aphotic as he leaves the Don's office.

Congratulations my friend. You're the perfect choice and this is well deserved. I've no doubt you'll do us proud.

Shakes Apothic's hand then heads off in the hunt for some unopened safes.

Mel was just entering the office when she saw Aphotic being congratulated by Diego. Although new to the family and despite not being much familiar with the man being congratulated, she knew he was one of the great men in the family.

"Congratulations, sir." She says with a smile.

Aphotic smiled back and nodded before leaving in a good mood.

Mel felt a feeling of pride knowing the family she is in is going to be growing bigger soon.

Desmond shook Aphotics hand vigorously and smiled "I can't wait to work alongside you brother i know we will do great things together" Desmond patted Aphotic on the pad "Here's to the expansion and growth of us and the UN". and with that said Desmond headed back into the HQ.

Hollywood!!

Is there a better place in this country ripe with money? Maybe Vegas? But with us moving in we may very well change that.

Let's take this city by storm my brothers!!!

Congratz on securing this for us Aphotic and for pulling all of LA under one banner
