Sacrifices | Started by: Gaius on Apr 13, '11 09:58 |
Shaking his head he walked outside. Nodding to the men he had left at he door, he walked past them into the street. Without a word the men went into the building to start the clean-up work and remove the body. Gaius looked up at the morning sun, the fresh crisp spring time air felt refreshing as he tried to clear his mind. Lighting a cigarette he stood smoking and watching the street around him. He hated this part of his job but knew there was no avoiding it. |

Guiseppe watched Don Gaius walk into the square and edge closed in anticipation of a speech he stood and listened waiting for him to finish. |

After pouring out some liquor and attending a funeral to say his words Jimmy walks into the street, taking a seat next to the curb while throwing his feet up on a cardboard box sitting a few feet in the street |

Walking down the streets minding my own business, infact whistling a tune of the old days. When i hear my Don looking serious and adressing the crowd.
Gaius, it takes a great leader to recognise the wrong do-ings of your own family members, especially a highly ranked member of your own family. A decsion like this goes deeper than family ties, much deeper than alot of people can see on the surface.
Silly mistakes such as this happen daily in this thing of ours and are not always dealt with in a correct manner, we all read and sighn our own family rules as well as Omerta. For some people this is the only way for them to learn thier lesson, some come back with grudges but most learn and come back stronger. So Gaius i salute you on the correct desicion, all be it a tough one. |

Higgs stands among the gathered crowd of Mafioso, listening to the words of Don Gaius. Taking a final draw from the unfiltered Russian cigarette he was smoking, he tosses it to the ground and firmly extinguishes it with the heel of his shoe. The sun was high and bright in the sky that April morning, and after removing his hat and mopping his brow with a pocket handkerchief, he walks to the front of the growing throng......
He passes Don Gaius and the two men acknowledge each other with a single nod. Placing his hat firmly back on his head, Higgs begins to speak...........
The honourable words I have just heard, I would expect to hear from the mouth of any crew leader within our world faced with similar situations. The decision one makes to accept the offer of a Captaincy is never taken lightly, and the responsibilities that the position requires are far reaching. Our society demands the ultimate from both leaders, and those that follow. To enter into such a position without the commitment of your body, and soul, is indication of impending failure.
Yes, there are difficult decisions to be made, sacrifices to be made, and as already stated, bridges to be built. Yet, even at times of the ultimate sacrifice, honour and respect can still be present. For a crew leader to pull the trigger himself is a sign of respect. For the victim to accept the sentence passed upon them by their peers, and to stand undaunted in full acceptance of the decisions made, is also a sign of respect, and the honour to which they are bound. Our society must remain firm in the principles which we all uphold even in such trying circumstances. It is with great sadness that friends and colleagues often fall foul of the rules which govern our society. It is however, confirmation of all that we hold dear, that such sacrifices are made.
Higgs tips his hat towards Don Gaius and accepts a flame from a family member as he lights another cigarette........ |
