Selena gazed at the newly renovated HQ and smiled. She eagerly made her way up the steps followed by her trusty right hand and resident goooodboi Vito_rigazzo. She cleared her throat nervously, but was quickly put at ease with a quick glance towards Vito as he nodded happily back at her. She stepped up on her neatly placed soapbox and began to speak.

"Ladies and Gentlemen I come out today with some great great news. Earlier today I was given the immense privilege to expand my operation in Pioneer square. I  can't even begin to fully tell you how proud I am of how hard my crew has worked from the beginning, or how much I want to thank Curtis for trusting me to grow my business here in the great city of Seattle".

She looked toward her loyal loving crew huddled just outside the doors of the hq who were listening eagerly, as well as the crowd on the streets.

"With that being said"  she proceeded  "We will be looking to recruit and aim to help in the rebuild of Seattle, After a rough couple of days we want to push on and contribute as a good crew should. So are you new blood looking to learn and grow? Come see me. Are you from an experienced bloodline looking to work on an exciting project? Then Capsized is the crew for!"

"Seattle is about to enter an exciting period and we look forward to welcoming new faces in these coming days. Here at Capsized we look for hard workers with a healthy can-do attitude. So let me stop rambling, enjoy your day stay safe and don't be shy! Stop by say hi"

Selena turned on her heel and made her way into the HQ, Vito hands her a bowl of ice cream on the way...strawberry of coarse. Vanilla is for lameos.

Vito took a step forward with that bowl of ice cream in hand as Selena turned and finished her speech. He paused her for a moment so he could say a few words.

"I'm happy to be here with you during this rebuild, and what a glorious day for you and the rest of Seattle as we look forward toward a brighter future. I made sure to get you your favorite, strawberry ice cream, I know how much you hate me and my plain ass vanilla."

He smiles and hands her the bowl and spoon and chuckles before slowly clapping with his hands.

"You have worked hard for this and nobody deserves the opportunity more than you. Congratulations Selena."

Tony walked up to his friend Selena with a jug of strawberry ice cream in one hand and twenty roses in the other. Each rose represents her new HQ which was brought from five to twenty.

My Dear Selena,

How glad I am to see you and Capsized grow so well, I am truly happy for you and Vito_Rigazzo. I wish you all success and prosperity!

Cheers to Seattle!

Tony starts to walk away putting the hand which was holding the ice cream under his armpit since his hand was frozen. With the other he brought a cigar to his mouth and lit it. A red glare and a cloud of smoke filled the air as he walked away.

Wanders around shaking her head wondering who on earth would join this joke of a city under this lot.  May God have mercy on their soon-to-be-purged-departed-not-long-for-life-in-this-world-souls.

ZivaDavid can I please ask that you don't come to the streets today to try and diminish what I am trying to do here. I haven't wronged you in any way and  I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't bring negativity to that. I'm trying my hardest to do the best I can here. Seattle is beginning to flourish and I'm happy to be apart of that, thanks to Curtis I have the chance to build something great here.

She gives the weird person an odd look wondering how they knew her name given she had never spoken to the stranger, or even out loud.  Must be something in the water around this place if people can read her mind.  Her lips curled at the left side deep in thought before strolling off away from this ridiculous show of 'flourishing' tactics after another wave of deaths occurred recently, according to the discarded newspapers.  She wasn't the only one who knew why any other city would 'flourish'.  It was easy of course to 'flourish' when dead bodies pile up day after day.  Another thought crossed her mind before turning the corner into the alleyway, getting away from this nonsense as quickly as possible... her lips curled into a full smile then.

Bon Chance M'lady.

Tony watched as the sultry Israeli smiled her way away from a rather perturbed leader from the sunken Emerald. 

Friend of yours, David? He said as he caught up and shot a glance back toward the naive one. He knew the answer already by that grin across Ziva's lips.
