It was well into the evening when Gianna's phone rang, the voice on the other line all too familiar as she greeted him friendly, she leaned back in her chair and took small drags from the cigarette she had picked up from the ashtray, listening and nodding into the phone. It was her good friend Madoka, she had been tasked with reaching out to Gianna on behalf of Gordon Ramsay, the world's infamous cook and one who decided to call his home Los Angeles as well.. it was a very somber talk, but it was one that had to be made.

The line went silent when Madoka finished, but not before Gianna had scribbled an address onto a small piece of paper on her desk and leaned forward and placed the phone down on the ringer before standing up and gathering her things.

"Headed out Miss Gianna?"

Her bodyguard quickly blurted as he noticed her gathering her things, specifically the pistol from her front drawer.

"Yes, we have some business to go and take care of."

Gianna and her guard quickly left the Eros' Lounge and hopped into the black sedan that was by the curb. As the car rumbled to life, she pulled the small note from her pocket and scanned over the the words on it, she had seen this address before and knew where she was headed.. she glanced up and blurted it out to her guard who immediately glanced back at her. She could tell he had a bit of discern in his eyes, she nodded at him and told him to drive.

It was a short drive, as Los Angeles wasn't too big of a place, well it was growing just hadn't reached it's full potential yet.. the shops and main boulevards were slowly coming back to life, and it made Gianna forget for a moment where she was going.. it wasn't until they turned the corner and she made eye contact with the man she had been sent to kill. There was a brief pause as the window slowly rolled down. She flashed the pistol at him and before he could even speak a word, the gun went off. Boom, boom, boom...

The car tires began to spin as Gianna pulled her arm back into the car and rolled up the window, watching as the man's eyes went blank and how his limp body fell back onto the pavement. It was her boss, Razor Blade Mario.. she had assassinated him in cold blood, just at the very same time some of his other members too had been shot by other parts of the Los Angels Mob... The car ride back to her mansion felt longer then before, her mind racing with the thought of blood on her hands, and how the other outfits of the mob would view this going forward.. it was no surprise either to find a large crowd gathering at her front steps, demanding questions as to why things had happened.. she quickly pulled herself from the back of her car and climbed the steps to the top and turned to face the crowd.

"Evening ladies and gentleman, as you may know there was some internal matters that needed to be taken care of here in Los Angeles. This was not a power play, this was not a 'we don't like you so we're going to shoot you' .. this was all strictly about business. For some time now there has been a lackluster amount of communication between our families, while ties to Gordon and his family have remained strong. Then, it comes down to what we felt was better for Los Angeles going forward in order to keep business strong, and was well as the city as a whole strong. I wish things could have been different, but business is business."

Gianna paused for a brief moment, the grumble of the crowd loud.. she sighed and shook her head before continuing.

"So with that said, moving forward.. Gordon will be taking over as head of the Los Angeles mafia. This is a unified decision amongst us both and I'm happy to be the one announcing that Los Angeles is a unified front once again. We will be discussing who takes Pasadena over the next coming days, and will ensure it is filled before some dastardly outfit decides they can take reigns. Have a good evening all and enjoy yourselves."

Gianna quickly slipped back into her headquarters so she could go have a smoke, it was much needed right now..
