(Follow up to 'Coming to Chicago' - http://mafiareturns.com/comm/thread/138146)
It had been a while now since Fernando had joined up with The Morningwood Elite family in the fine city of Chicago. He had completed many jobs in all kinds of businesses and the experience he gained from doing so was phenomenal. You could say he had the perfect start and most surprisingly of all, he was taking to the life of crime like a duck to water. The change in Fernando was evident for everyone to see, no longer was he this shy little spanish guy who didn't really have a clue about life, let alone crime. The experience he gained from 'work' had changed him, his confidence had increased rapidly, he found himself to be more outgoing, he looked good and overall he seemed happy. This was mainly due to the fellow family members he worked with, day in, day out. Pretty much everyone in the HQ took a liking to Nando, especially the females amongst them! In all honesty though, he felt a sense of pride at being able to call himself a member of the Morningwood Elite, he looked forward to waking up each morning and going to the HQ to see the rest of the family. He loved doing as much as possible, especially enjoying the travelling to other cities for business purposes, at which he always squeezed in a bit of sight-seeing. Nando was seriously loving his life. You could say that he was well and truly finding his feet...
The faith in him shown by his beloved Don was confirmed when he was approached by Kimble and told there were plans to increase the protection around him. He didn't understand at first, was he in trouble? Did he do something wrong? Is someone out to get him? He was confused as to what was going on but was then calmed down and it was explained to him by Kimble exactly what was going to happen.
"You've worked hard in the short time you have served with us. I think it is only fitting that we provide you with the protection all good mobsters should have. We are going to get you a 'few' Bodyguards, we would very much like to keep you alive."
Nando couldn't quite believe it, sure when he had been out and about he had noticed certain people swanning around with a large amount of BG's but they were normally people of some importance. Either way he was delighted to know his presence was appreciated. A few days later he was in the HQ bar, chilling out with Simplicity and Phreaking_Panda when Kimble walked in and called him outside. He walked outside and around the back of the HQ into the yard where he was introduced to a large group of men. In fact, it was an extremely large group of men.
"So, what's going on boss? he sheepishly asked."
Kimble looked at Nando and smiled.
"These Fernando, are your protection. Wherever you go, they will follow. If you go the bar, the mall or even when you go to take a shit, they will be there watching over you."
Nando laughed at the prospect of a group of men watching him on the toilet and then thanked Kimble. Since that day the BG's followed him literally everywhere. At first it was kind of annoying but he soon got used to it, he always felt safe which was definetely a good thing.
The weeks passed and life was going as normal until one day he was met again by the RHM, SpuffWaffle.
"You, Kimble's office now. He wants to see you." Spuff waffled.
He followed Spuff to Kimble's office and entered.
" Hello sir, what can i do for you today?" he asked.
Kimble swung round in his chair, placed his cigar in the ashtray and smiled at Nando.
"Ahhh, Fernando. I am pleased you got here so fast, i have some exciting news for you."
Whatever could it be? he thought to himself before Kimble continued...
"Fernando, you've been with us for some time now, you work hard, you never complain and you always represent when needed. I think it's time we accepted you into the 'proper' family. You will no longer be an associate, you have grown so much we believe you deserve and have what it takes to become a button man of Chicago. I am proud to be giving you your Made Man promotion."
Nando felt a little tear in his eye but held back. He had been waiting for this day to come, he had even dreamt about it once or twice. For it to happen gave him a warm feeling inside. that night he decided to go out and celebrate with some of his closest friends and it was probably one of the best nights of his life. The next morning it was back to business and time to start his new lease of life as a Made Man. He only hoped he could live up to the expectations required for a button man of Chicago.
Life was going on, business was good things seemed to be going well, not only in Chicago but across the other populated crime cities. He had been doing stuff like entering in contests being run by various cities, as well as more work in his own home city. Work was going well and life was good. That was until news came filtering through that Las Vegas' TonyCorelli had warred St.Louis. He got a call his assisstance was needed and rushed back to the HQ, he met up with the rest of the guys and was told of plans to intercept. The rest is all history. You see Fernando a man of peace and doesn't like to get involved in the war and people dying business. He hates chatting about that sort of thing. Although in all truthfulness, it was an eye opener for him.
Since then Nando had earned his Capo and Boss stripes in Chicago. He seemed to be continuing his climb up the ladder. His business was going steady, but going nonetheless. He continues to meet new people and learn new things. Life was simply sweet and flowing along nicely. Good 'ole Nando was now well and truly finding his feet... |
