SumTingWong had asked Rosalia to come to his office when she had finished her paperwork for the day.  She left Poe in her office because she Sum did not appreciate the large raven. Something about the way the raven watched him. She adored Poe he was her faithful companion, but she understood that he like her could be intimidating to some people. She knocked on his with with two quick raps of her knuckles. 

"Come in Rosa." he answered back knowing it was her by her customary knock. She walked into his office closing the door behind her. "Don't worry Sum I left Poe in my office."  he smiled dryly at her and indicated she should sit  then offered her ice cold chocolate milk. She drank her milk and listened to him as he told her it was time for them to start new business ventures in Downtown, Los Angeles.   " Look Rosa I know I have offered you  a crew several times and you turned away the offers due to being busy with your business ventures, but I would like to offer you a crew leader position here in Downtown." He watched her reaction as she nearly dropped her milk.

"Why Sum? I am only a kid." She gave him a credulous look, he laughed lightly and his tone was reassuring. "Exactly why I need you  to run a front for the family. No, copper is going to suspect an innocent looking kid of the things we do."   She could not argue with his logic, her business ventures were solid and reliable now.  She gave him a playful smile her eyes brightening as her smile grew with her inner child very apparent in her face she jubilantly replied. "Sum I will bring Sanctuary to Downtown, but I want an old gothic style home as my headquarters." SumTingWong laughed and handed her a briefcase with cash in it. " Go buy your scary house kid." She thanked him for the opportunity to help The Family and took her leave with the briefcase.

 She did find an old gothic style house on Fremont street. It was gated and had a long curved driveway towards the house. You couldn't see the gothic style mansion from the road and Rosa liked this attribute of the property. 

Rosalia stood back and  wiped the sweat from her brow. Paint from the paintbrush transferred on to her cheek. Ignoring it as youth often do when they don't want to deal with something she stood back and admired the sign she painted. 

" That'll do Poe."

She spoke  to the raven sitting not far off seemingly inspecting the work with her.  She and the raven traveled back down the winding road to the gothic house she had purchased for the sanctuary. The Santuario of Downtown Los Angels.

Rosalia smiled as  she watched  NickyTheNickname enter the room and  grab a botte of wine. There surely would  be hangovers in the morning she thought.  She lifted her glass of chocolate milk on the rocks and returned his jubilant cheer as she  approached him. "Here's to new ventures and beginnings."

The cheer finished she took a long drink of the ice cold milk." Thank you Nick for coming with me and helping me start this sanctuary for our fellow criminals.  I know we will have many new ventures. Thank you for choosing to be  the Left-hand man of The Santuario  as well. I don't think I could have started this venture without your support. It is appreciated." Rosalia looked over his shoulder and indicated to the waiter that she wanted another chocolate milk on the rocks by holding her empty glass up.

 "I know we are here to celebrate but we are not quite done with business. I just wanted to let you know I have opened up applications within Los Angeles for us to seek a Right-hand man. We need to fill that position. A message was broadcast in Los Angeles today to all residents to ask  their Crew Leaders for the application if they were interested  in the position ."

The Little Saint paused as the wandering waiter brought her iced chocolate milk.  After he was clear of earshot  she continued the conversation. " It will be a few days before the decision is made I have to give them some time to submit the application then go over them. " The fifteen year old took a long drink of her  iced milk then finished her business. " You will be the first to know the choice after myself of course." She laughed slightly at her mundane joke. "Well I am done boring you  with business Nick you go have fun at the party, just don't get lost  in the secret pathways in the walls. We may not find you." She gave him a grin and wandered off to greet other guest at the party. 

WhyBother walks up the stairs to Rosas HG to wishes he the best of all luck in her new adventure here in LA

"He Rosalia-Orazia, I was truly both glad for your sake and also very happy to see you going to get another good crew here in our beloved LA which will make us both bigger and having even more fun in here for a long time"

He gives her a big bouquet of yellow roses which will live hopefully for a week or at least 3-4 days, any of this will make him glad for giving this gift to a worty soul.

Rosalia's raven took flight suddenly and flew to roost on top of one of the cherubs that stood over watch of the entrance.  This caught Rosa's attention and she looked up to see WhyBother enter the mansion.  She approached him her childlike exuberance shining in her smile as she greeted him. 

She took the yellow bouquet of roses and took a long sniff of the sweet smelling flowers. "Thank you WhyBother, I love the roses. Maybe next time just bring the whole bush, I have plenty of acreage to start a rose garden. The fifteen year old gave him a playful wink. Thank you for the well wishes also. You know I will do what I can to help The Family grow and prosper."  

      Cha-Cha was wandering the streets trying to find where Rosalia had purchased their new home from. He wasn't expecting much as he approached where the address should be looking up then back down at the paper he had written the address on then back up. Cha-Cha shrugs his shoulders and is not surprised at all. 

     "Well this is about exactly what I would expect from Rosalia-Orazia I know it was going to be called the Sanitorium? No wait I think it was sanctuary. Fuck I guess I'm gonna have to go inside and find them." Cha-Cha looks at the outside of the building and shrugs his shoulder as he makes sure his jacket is unbuttoned just incase the ghosts or goblins or just anything that's in this place gets to frisky with him. Good to go he starts his walk up to the entrance.

She watched him enter the mansion from one of the secret passage ways she knew  it was her  giggling that gave her away when step out behind Chacha .

"I think you mean  Santuario,  it means sanctuary. But how did you know it use to be an old sanatorium."  She gave him a childlike smile and wink. " Maybe for Halloween we can have a haunted house party here. Anyways you arrived just in time for me to announce who will taking the Right hand position of the Santuario." She grabbed a glass of chilled chocolate milk from the tray of a wandering waiter and held up in the air. Poe her raven took flight a just as hand reached its peak height , landing just on top the winding stairwell.

"Can I have your attention my lovely guests?" She waited for the hub voices to drop and then she spoke clearly. " I would like to announce  that I have chosen a Right man. This choice wasn't easy it came  down to two very good and qualified candidate's , and I thought for hours on this matter. So, without further ado I would like to announce that PeterQuinn will take the RH position here at The Santuario" She pulled her raised down and took a drink of the refreshing ice cold chocolate milk. Then went back to the guests at the party.

Peter walked into the newly furnished house, with his customary morning chilled strawberry milk in hand, looked around in a pressed suit, taking my hat off, look around the room and say

Thank you for this opportunity, I look forward to seeing this family move forward and progress. 

Peter walks over to the bar inside, even knowing the young woman is unable to drink, and continues to pour a few glasses, after putting the bottle back, opens the fridge to get some chocolate milk for Rosalia, pours a glass and toasts to "The Sanctuary".

A young man came in dressed in a double-breasted suit, wearing dark-rimmed glasses. He had black hair and eyes that stood at above middling height. he stood at the entrance and said loudly

Hi, my name is Tang Xuan I'm sorry I'm late, and also "congratulations to Mr. PeterQuinn". 

Xuan walks over to Rosalia's side and greeted her.

Rosalia took the glass of chocolate milk from PeterQuinn and raised it for his toast . "Salud"

She took a drink and then her attention was drawn to the entrance and a new arrival to the party. She recognized the guest as Mr. Xuan . Smiling when he approached she welcomed him to the party and signaled to one of the wandering waiters to come over to the group for drink refreshing.

"Hello Mr. Xuan, welcome to the party so happy you could make. Please get a yourself a drink and mingle among the guests." 

The wandering waiter had arrived at the group with varying types of drinks on his tray . "If he doesn't have what you want  just tell him, he will retrieve it for you. " She told Tangxuan.

Honesty was on another maple syrup binge. Well, "was" would be the right term, considering the new-dawn's sunlight pierced the window in the attic of Rosalia's new mansion and woke Honesty up with ferocious intent, as if the gods themselves pierced Honesty's soul with their collective gaze.

"Fuck, my head is pounding", Honesty thought to himself, struggling to roll himself over to then sit with his back turned to the window so that the sunlight wouldn't meet the Canadian's eyesight. "I really need to stop drinking so much syrup. At least during the week. I'm acting like there's no work to be done." Honesty slurped the last droplet of maple syrup that was contained within the bottle that was clutched by his grasp. "But it's soooo fucking good". Because the ceiling of the attic was so low to the floor, Honesty had to crawl to find the exit. Lucky for him, the ladder leading down was not too far away. Unlucky for him, because the new Don was hungover, he didn't see he was right over the hatch after a couple crawl-steps and he fell right through it.

CRASH

The maple man landed hard on his stomach, puking his innards almost immediately after the impact. He rose to his feet and stepped out Rosa's newly built headquarters and found himself face-to-face with the new leader in Downtown, LA.

"Hello, Rosa. Fancy meeting you here. I was just... making sure... you know... you weren't the devil or something. I was looking for a satanic cult room or something like that and I found myself in your attic. Don't ask me whowhatwherewhenhownorwhy of anything else. You know damn well I've done weirder shit than this; I am Joey's right hand after all. Anyways... congrats on your new auth", Honesty said carefully, squinting his eyes, but still staring into the lifeless eyes of Rosa. "I'm watching you, demon woman. You and your... weird pet." Honesty walked passed Rosa's shoulder and turned around, as if remembering something:

"Oh, yeah, I almost forgot: I hope you employed yourself a janitor or something. I threw up on your floor. Maybe you can conjure your demons or something else to help you clean it up. Anyways, toodles!"

Rosalia stood there and wrinkled her nose as Honesty spoke to her with  sickening sweet breathe. He must have been on another maple syrup binge she thought as she turned her eyes and they rolled in her head when  he sputtered something about her demons. 

"Really, Honesty we all have demons, mine aren't more dangerous than any others. Well I don't think so anyways." she gave him a girlish smile as he spoke of her attic and leaned in her lips not far from his ear s she whispered." Did you find the skeletons in the closet too?"  She leaned back  and patted him on the shoulder in a friendly manner. " Thank you for coming down to the party and for the congratulations." 

 Just as Honesty finished speaking of Poe, he  flew over cawing as if he was laughing at Honesty. Rosalia looked at up her "weird pet" and smiled her face lighting up like a cherub as the raven flew over them. Turning her gaze back to Honesty she laughed nearly mimicking the raven or maybe he mimicked her, after all ravens were skilled mimickers.

Rosa took a step back to the mansion step as Honesty had one last  afterthought. She shook her head as he told of his stomach upheaval in her hall." Don't worry I have several maids  employed. She waved a sweeping hand in the direction of the gothic mansion." You think I would clean this place myself. It is their problem they have to decide which one will clean it up. Don't stumble too much on your way home."

She said her farewells to Honesty and walked back up the stairs into the mansion her weird pet circling over the peak of The Santuario.

Honesty and Rosalia unaware they were alone at the moment, didn't realize that a young man saw it all. He smirked at what he had seen and said " Poor Honesty " to himself, as he vanished into the shadows.

Angelo finally made a appearance at The Santuario he walked in an took a walk around listening to peoples conversations then heads to a table an sits down he pulls the bottle of whiskey out of his jacket that he brought as a token of friendship an then pours shots for himself an anyone around The Santuario.

"To Friendship an Loyalty as per the usual"

He Said holding his shot up in the air then takes the shot.

Rosalia did not drink liquor she got her jollies from the crimes she committed. Some of them even gave  her a relaxing sensation like when she would watch their rivals businesses burn. She enjoyed the yellow and red colors that danced with the blues and purples. 

She walked over to Angel_Reyes after he poured several drinks and set her chocolate milk on the table picking up one of the shot glass she peered into the glass.

 The Little Saint had never drank liquor but she thought they were celebrating so why not try it .Then she smelled the liquor her nose wrinkled involuntarily as the heat from the liquor felt like it burned the inside of her nostrils.  Still uncertain of the liquor she held it up to Angel,
" To friendship and loyalty."
 She smiled and tentatively brought the shot glass to her lips. Tipping the  the small glass she started sipping the liquor only to realize she had better take it all at once. So she downed in one gulp. It was effervescent  in her nostrils  making  her eyes water  as she coughed swallowing the whisky. 

"Uhm." she tried to stifle another cough behind the back of her hand. "That stuff is not too bad what do they call it?" 

He watched her drink it then smiled when she coughed laughing a bit at her words, He sighed looked away. 

"Honey Jack Whiskey... Honestly you really shouldn't be drinking that stuff you are still a child even though your the Jefe."

He looked back to her saying.

"It seems like you didn't like it anyway at least that's a good thing, You should leave the getting drunk to Nicky an me."

He grabbed her milk glass an handed to her with a smile.

Rosa turned the shot glass upside and placed it on the table then took her glass of chocolate milk thanking Angel as she did.  Taking a large gulp as Angel told her she had drank whisky she noticed her head felt  a bit floaty.  

After a couple large gulps of chocolate milk her mouth didn't burn so much but her tongue felt slightly numb. 

"No you are correct it wasn't very pleasant. So, you and Nick have nothing to worry about you guys can have all the whisky you want." 

He smiled pouring himself a double shot of the whiskey then puts the cap on the bottle an takes his shots then sparks up a cigarette an starts to smoke it, He looked over to Rosa an spoke to her.

"How has your day been going Jefe, any problems?"

She washed the whisky taste out of her mouth with a couple large gulps of her chocolate milk. She wiped the milk from her upper lip as Angel turned his attention to her. 

" My day has been good.  Only one problem though." Her eyebrows furrowed and lips turned down in a slight frown.  "I think I am going to have to hire a few new maids. They can't seem to agree who is going to clean up the mess Honesty left them in the hall." She smiled  warmly at Angel." How has  your day been? I hope you are getting business at your bar. " 

He laughed at her question.

"Yeah great business, I've actually had more customers at my small dive bar then I've had at my Clubhouse an parking Garage"

He continued to smoke his cigarette an ashes it in the ash tray on the center of the table.
