As Apache was leaving the park, the tranquil atmosphere shattered by the sound of gunshots echoed through the streets. He instinctively turned towards the source of the commotion, his senses on high alert. The distant pops of gunfire were followed by the unmistakable whine of bullets slicing through the air.

His mind raced as he quickly assessed the situation. Something was amiss, and the streets that had moments ago felt so familiar now seemed charged with tension and danger. Apache's training and instincts kicked in, and he knew he needed to get to safety and gather information before making any rash moves. He called Steve and asked to get the plane ready for his immediate departure. Apache wasn't hearing no for an answer and Steve knew better also.

Without wasting a moment, he retraced his steps to the airport and headed back to his Chicago headquarters. His heart raced as he pondered the possibilities of what might be unfolding. Could it be a turf war between rival gangs? Or perhaps a power struggle within a larger syndicate? The streets could be unforgiving, especially when shadows danced with malintent.

Wellington our pilot announced that we would be arriving at the Middlebelt Road Wayne County Airport in Detroit in thirty minutes.   @Salvatore_Lucchese and I started gathering our stuff. 

While the bloodshed stopped, the scars of the war remained. Detroit's reputation as a peaceful and prosperous city was forever tarnished.  Our once-thriving businesses struggled to recover, and our workers lived in constant fear of another outbreak of violence.

We went to Hangar 11 to talk with Steve the Cargo Manager.  We had to figure out what we would do with the shipment of product that just arrived. 

In the end, the wars proved bad for business – not just for the criminal enterprises involved but for the entire city of Detroit.  It served as a stark reminder that unchecked greed and ambition could lead to the downfall of even the most powerful and influential.

We decided for the time being just to hold the product in the warehouse in the terminal.  The streets were quiet and no one was moving anything.  It wouldn’t be long for things to get back to normal but in the meantime, it didn’t make sense to have that much product stored in the Café.

Once everything was secure Sal and I left and headed to meet Big Moe.

I sat watching JamesDiVasio sleep.  He must have been exhausted he fell asleep in the middle of our conversation.  Well, not the middle for we had talked for almost two hours. He looked so peaceful and handsome. It was strange how our lives were coming together.  I had seen him around Diamonte and Jimmy and had a small conversation. now she and he were in the same origination; they were laundering money for Uncle Joe and setting up shop with her Uncle Big Moe.  I have to laugh when I talk about my Uncle Joe and Moe, small world.

Wellington the pilot came over the intercom Ms Harper, Mr DiVasio we will land at the Middlebelt Road Wayne County Airport in half an hour.  We are flying clear skies and the temperature is a hot 83 degrees.

James woke up wondering how long he had slept.  I assured him it was only an hour or so.  We both made our way to the lavatories and freshened up.  Then we gathered up our bags and were ready to deplane.

Stone came over the intercom advising me we would be landing at the Middlebelt Road Wayne County Airport in thirty minutes, that it was slightly breezy, a low fifty-five degrees.

I invested in Legendary Reliable Airlines to launder money for GFC Joseph_Ligambi, plus I loved their concept of convenience and security flying on a chartered jet.  As I gained rapport with the Accountant, I found myself being consulted on business decisions.

I gathered my stuff and when the plane landed I made my way through the terminal to the business office to say hello to Sally and Steve Hartsfield the Managers.  We sat and chatted for a few minutes when Steve told me that Angelo_Corleone had opened a new shipping business called Corleone Shipping & Storage and suggested I contact him, maybe he would be interested in utilizing Legendary Reliable Cargo Transport.

I didn't mind speaking with Angelo_Corleone, maybe bringing in some new business. I would stop by his establishment and offer our services.

As the plane doors opened and he queued up to get off...He could smell the detroit air gushing into the closed plane. He moved through the crowd fast and made his way to the customs and didn't utter much and flashed only what needed to be flashed and kept moving. 

As he went outside and saw the the atmosphere, he could feel it in his loins the the cold air and what might be coming next. He whistled and a cab driver stopped and he made his way into the car and settled in and uttered "Downtown CBD".

Alpha booked his cab and as it rolled through the wet streets, watching how the city never sleeps. As he arrived at the terminal, everything was as per the usual. He went through his securiy checks, polite nods and customs. He moved through like a ghost with a purpose, neither in a hurry nor hesitant. As he boarded the flight, the cabin lights dimmed and he took his seat by the window and loosened his tie. As the engines roared to life, Alpha exhaled and closed his eyes. Once airborne, the world below disappeared into the clouds - white, endless like a dream. 

Meanwhile the hostess came over and offered him a drink. He sat there with the glass in his hand lost in thoughts. The deals he made in the Cafe would sgart bringing him money and his name would start being recognised. 

He was slowly starting to piece the puzzle of his empire together with every passing cloud and second. 

Wellington voice came over the intercom.  Ms Harper , we will be landing at the Middlebelt Road Wayne County Airport in thirty minutes, it’s partly cloudy 74 degrees.

As I started gathering my shit my thoughts drifted to BricksMalone .  I hope he wasn’t too upset with me.  I was supposed to be in Detroit last week.  

He doesn’t realize how excited I am to see his Royal Obsidian Casino and Lounge, but there was so much shit going on.

But I am excited.  I have butterfly in my stomach thinking about his new establishment and so very proud of him.  I’ve heard nothing but good things about it. From its sleek black speckled granite floors and crystal chandeliers throughout the lobby and gaming floor, to the wonderful hospitality, its nothing but spectacular.

Bricks told me he designed a special private room for me and the poker players he calls The Black Emerald. I can’t wait to see the Casino and share my excitement with him.

As I started to deplane I clutched my briefcase containing over three hundred thousand dollars worth of stones Pierre has me delivering to Bricks a little tighter.
