Gunther was called to a meeting with @Giyu, @JenBarber, and @Steve. He wasn't certain how the meeting was going to go. In his experience, it was usually time for a weekly ass chewing about something he had said to someone. He took a deep breath and opened the door. They asked him to sit. The exact words spoken made his eyes go wide. They had decided that it was time for Gunther to move up in the world, and lead his own group within Brooklyn, New York City. Gunther thanked them for the opportunity, and more so, for everything they had done for him in the past leading up to this moment. He would forever be in their debt, and he wanted them to know it.

As Gunther left the meeting, he went out and informed his small group of associates, that they answered to him now. He gave them a simple task, to see how his people functioned under his command. They were to go and knock over a jewelry store on the north end of Brooklyn. However, they were to get caught and arrested. They seemed worried by the commands, but did as they were told. 

The next day his associates returned to him. They both had a rough look about them. One had a black eye and a busted lip, while the other had a badly broken nose. They looked like hell and Gunther frowned. He placed a hand on each of their shoulders as he spoke.

"You both look like shit.. What happened?"

The one on the left spoke first, "It went just like you said it would, they arrested us and beat the shit out of us trying to figure out who we work for." The one on the right then chimed in, "We told them exactly what you told us to though, boss."

Gunther had a smile forming across his face listening to them speak. "Go on, tell me exactly what happened."

The one on the left continued, "They handcuffed us to chairs, and kept asking who we work for, we both answered over and over, 'I Don't Remember.' then they started beating us with their fists and clubs, screaming at us to tell them who we work for, we kept screaming back, 'I Don't Remember!!' then, just like you said they would boss, they just let us go."

Gunther nodded his head, looked them both in the eyes, then took his hands off of their shoulders. He retrieved two massive rolls of cash from his pockets, and placed them into theirs. He had wild grin across his face as he spoke.

"You've both done a wonderful job. Take the week off, get some well deserved rest. Don't ever forget who you work for, I Don't Remember!"

"Finally" she yelled as she walked towards Don @Gunthers new, but not spanking new headquarters. She was late, and boy did she knew it. Every time she wanted to make a visit, other things kept getting in the way. With that and the Xmas festivities, she knew Don Gunther deserved a 'congratulations' in his own place that he worked to get for so long.

The days seemed to of rolled into one recently for her to the extend she no longer knew what day of the week it was. She has had a few sleepless nights with the beautiful Don Lilith, thinking it was time to give birth, to discover it must've been something she ate or her body just preparing. Every time Jen rushed to be beside her, she knew this wasn't a time for the men to be there holding her hand as they smoked on their cigars playing cards. It was a personal moment. Earlier that day Jen had to ensure her she would remain in New York until the baby was born. Everyone was getting excited, even Steve has had a go at knitting and she had heard Don Alexei was having a go at building a crib and that Whirl was trying to find his singing voice for the lullabies. After all, he 'claims' to be 'soothing'. She couldn't help but chuckle at the thought of that, especially since she knew he squeaked every time he tried to raise his voice.

Still, finally, Jen had the time to get to Don Gunther. She arrived and rang the doorbell to alert them that she was there. "Jen" an excitable manly voice spoke as a stuntys man opened the door, Jen smiled. "It's nice to see you are home Mr Cossack, is Don Gunther around" she replied as the fine gentleman nodded and asked her to follow him.

She was led to Don Gunther's office to find he was there with his feet up. He spotted her, dropped his feet down to the ground and stood up.. "Jen!" he said with a huge grin across his face "What are you here for? Do you wish tea and crumpets?" he asked her with a smirk. She was amused, smiling herself "Now now Mr Don Gunther, let's not get silly, I am simply here to wish you many congrats on being authed here in Brooklyn. I apologise with it being late but wanted to do it in person and not via some telegram. So congratz" She replied as she pulled out a gift of a packet of the finest cigars "Do enjoy them on me," she said. She was very proud of the chap and what he has achieved. Even if he had named his establishment a silly name, she could see it fitted him well. "For now though Gunther, I am sure you understand I must get back over to the Bronx to check on Lilith, the poor girl is waddling more than a duck now!" she said as she shook Don Gunthers hand again to congrate. Before making her way out of the establishment. 

Gunther took the packet of fine cigars and smelled them, He was glad she had come. He smiled and nodded his head.

"I do enjoy them thank you, I'm afraid it would burn you though if I attempted to enjoy them on you."

He shook his head. Such a silly thought.

"I am very glad to see you though, late as you are, it was nice to have someone come say hello."

He frowned for just a moment before grinning once more.

"Thanks a lot, I do hope to see you stop by more. Perhaps next time I can have Ravina have the placed catered or something. Anyways, thanks again so much for stopping by. A pleasure as always."

He lit one of the cigars JenBarber had gifted him, lit it, and smoked it alone in his office.
