During Godfather Dawson's party, Kenny was sitting on a chair and having a few drinks, just relaxing away from the crowd. He was never one for parties but a gathering of this caliber he had to attend. That doesn't mean he is going to be social but he's making sure to be open for conversations and business propositions if anyone approaches. Few people do, some just comes and say hi, makes small talk, all the time eyeing the room and keeping everything in check.
While observing the room, his eyes lock with Dawson. The godfather nods his head towards a private place and starts walking. Kenny says his goodbyes to the people who were trying to talk to him and gets up from his seat and follows his boss.
They walk outside, the moon high on the sky, shining bright. They lit a cigarette each and contemplated for a bit the work they did in the past weeks before Dawson opens his mouth and starts talking about his plans. Kenny listens closely, nodding all the time to signal that he understands.
Kenny was tasked with finding made men from the Englishman crew who were still alive and give them a choice; leave Summerlin or die. He was given access to Dawson network of spies and corrupt agents to help localize these people and give them the ultimatum. Also he was warned to if he meets some associate or petty criminals who used to work for the Englishman, to offer them work and a chance to still earn some money in this thing of ours.
Kenny assured that it will be done. He finished his cigarette, shook hands with Dawson and returned to the party to listen to more annoying people while trying to look approachable. After hours of excruciating torture, the party was nearly finished. Kenny went to his car and drove home.
A sunny morning in Las Vegas, Kenny woke up to his alarm clock. He got up, boiled some eggs, brew some coffee and ate his breakfast. After that did a few exercise, gotta stay healthy! Then he smoked a cigarette with another cup of coffee, everything needs a balance. After that, he took a shower and got everything he needed and drove towards the Russo's bar and Casino.
In his private room, Kenny lit another cigarette, put on his glasses and started going through the paperwork on his desk. Adresses and phone numbers provided by Dawson's bodyguard who had the key to Kenny's private room and left the papers overnight. He took out his notebook and wrote the name of each men in his crew, beneath the names he wrote orders, adresses and phone numbers for them to help Kenny dealing with the remaining Englishmen crew.
He kept a few names for himself, mainly Spencer's son, Mark. He was one of the few who were away from the HQ when the Ghost Cavalry attacked. Also a boy named Theo who was an associate of the Englishman and was making a good name for himself, famous for being picked up by the police numerous times for breaking and entering, burglary and pick pocketing.
With the notes ready, Kenny distributed to every man in his crew and told them to deal with it. He went back to his car and went to the Las Vegas police department, where Theo was doing some time. |

In the afternoon, Kenny arrived at the police department. He left his revolver on the glove compartment of his car and put on some sun glasses, not to be easily recognized. The police are on the payroll but there are some "die hard" cops who will not accept a bribe, so Kenny prefers to try and disguise himself so he does not have to deal with these people. Walking towards the PD with a cigarette dangling on his lips, he opens the door and the smell of sweat hits his nostrils, the fills his lungs with smoke and ignores the foul smell.
He approaches the front desk, where a woman is working. He asks to see if Josiah is in, Josiah is a police officer who is a friend of Kenny. His money, to be precise. The woman picks up her phone and dials on it. She speaks a few words and tells Kenny that Josiah will see him on his office. He thanks her and walks towards the place, he knows where it is, many meetings with Josiah.
"You really need some incense in here, man." Kenny says as he walking in Josiah's office. The policeman laughs.
"That's what I've been telling the captain. But he always forgets." He signals Kenny to put out his cigarette since he doesn't like the smell. Kenny shrugs and does it. "What brings you here, my friend?"
"You've got a little burglar in the lockup." He says as he sits down on the opposite side of Josiah. "His name is Theo, he's a thief and I want to talk to him. Looks like a talented boy who needs a sponsor."
"Talented?" Josiah smirks. "This is the fourth time we got him this month. This boy can't keep his nose clean and sure as shit can't stay away from us."
"Well he just needs a guiding hand and someone to keep him out of jail." Kenny says, placing his index finger on his chest. "I'm going to be that to him, invest in the boy and see if there is a profit."
"You and your investments..." Josiah says while getting up from his chair and signaling Kenny to follow.
A minute of walking, some interested looks towards Kenny, people trying to recognize who he is, some people who have no idea, probably the rookies since Kenny has made a name for himself already in Las Vegas and some people sure know who he is. Josiah took Kenny the interrogation chamber and told him to wait. |

"Here's your boy, you have ten minutes." Josiah said, escorting Theo to the chair on the opposite side of Kenny. The boy was probably 19, looking a little worse for wear. He remembered Kenny of his younger years when he couldn't keep himself out of jail. He felt sympathy for the boy but his expression tells Theo otherwise.
"We don't need those." Kenny points to the handcuffs. Josiah nods and takes them off and leaves the room.
"I know you. You're with those Ghost Cavalry fuckers." Theo says without eye contact, trying to keep a brave face on but failing. He looked terrified.
"I am. You were with those Engishman fuckers." The words "were" made the boy shoot his eyes towards Kenny. "Yep. They are no more. Dawson is the new godfather."
After the revelation, Kenny stayed silent, allowing Theo to digest the information. After seconds, Theo spoke up.
"Bah. That sucks. I was bringing in a lot of money doing work for them."
"You can still make money. But working for us, not them. You're not a made man yet so I come with a proposal." Kenny sit up on his chair and places his arms on the table. "You look like a talented kid, even if you're visiting here every week. I've had reports on my desk on jobs well done by you on the stealthy side. We need a man like that in our family."
Kenny went for his pockets and reached for his cigarettes, he lit one and offered it to Theo, who promptly grabbed and put it on his lips.
"You'll be making a lot of money and will be protected from the cops. And you'll have an opportunity to work with me today cause I need someone stealthy. Good pay and more work will be sent your way if you do it well."
Theo ponders the proposition.
"Meh, fuck it. I accept. With the Englishman dead your crew is the only one around. And I can't leave Summerlin, my roots are here, family."
"Good boy." Kenny says getting up. He reaches on his coat and grabs a stack of money. He walks towards the door and knocks on it. Josiah opens it.
"Theo is with the Ghost Cavalry now." Kenny said handing him the money. "Spread the word to your guys. I don't want to see him here again, understood?"
With a nod, Josiah escorted both Kenny and Theo to the front door and exit of the police department. |

"In a duel?!" Theo asked with a mouthful of burger. Kenny took the boy to a nearby diner and they were having lunch. "Like in those wild west stories?"
"Oh yeah, the Englishman even drew his weapon first but I never doubted Dawson, he knows how to handle a weapon."
Kenny says while drinking his chocolate milkshake. They kept doing small talk for a hour, getting to know each other better, Theo seemed to be a pretty bright kid, happy and easy-going. He has a lot in common with Kenny, at least young Kenny. After the hour was up, Kenny paid the bill and they went to his car. It was getting dark and it was perfect for the first job Kenny has in mind for Theo. They drove a bit, making more small talk. Kenny stopped the car near a neighborhood.
"So, tell me about Spencer's son, Mark." Kenny said.
"Errr. Dunno him. I've seen him, but he never talked with me."
"That's okay." Kenny said. "He's not going to see you coming."
The plan was simple and Kenny explained to Theo what he had to do. His job was to: Sneak into Mark's house, pick the locks and find where Mark was, after that scout the house and make sure he was alone. After all that, report back to Kenny. Theo listened, paying full attention and nodding his head.
"I can do it." He says, confidently.
Kenny turned on the engine of his car again and drove towards Mark's home. The Ghost Cavalry killed his dad, he wasn't going to let that stand. Kenny decided to not give him the option to leave Summerlin and seek vengeance later. He was going to finish him. A few more minutes of driving and they were finally nearby Mark's house. They parked the car and walked. |

It was dark so it worked in Theo's favor. Kenny was in the nearest alley waiting for Theo's report, he lit a cigarette, took a seat on a box and just stayed there. Theo sneaked to the front door, the boy was good. With a bobby pin on his hands, he made short work of the lock. Slowly opening the door so it wouldn't creak, he entered the house and closed it behind him.
Very slowly he tiptoe'd around the place looking for Mark or other people. First it was the living room, with a fireplace roaring, recently fed. Someone was home.
He scouted downstairs first, the kitchen, the guest room, no one. He went to the garage, Mark's car was parked there. After that it was the back of the house, there was an empty pool with no water, a few tables and sun chairs but no people. That was the downstairs finished.
He went upstairs, carefully again so the wood stairs wouldn't creak. Like a cat he went step by step without making any noise. He crept up on the first door on his right and found another bedroom, empty again. Another door, looked like an office, unattended. While looking around some more he started to hear running water coming from a door in the end of the hallway. He followed that.
He opened the door and put his ear against the bathroom door. There was no noise but running water. Mark was surely home and it had to be him in the bathroom. Theo made his way back to Kenny to report.
"So, get this." Theo says while approaching Kenny. "Fireplace recently fed, car in the garage, shower noise. He's taking a shower!"
"Anyone else in the house?" Kenny asked, Theo just shook his head. "Wait here."
"The doors creak! Stairs too!" Theo shouted while Kenny made his way towards the house. Checking to see if his revolver was all loaded. He entered the house ignoring Theo's warnings since if he was taking a shower, he probably wouldn't listen. With his revolver drawn and aiming down sights, Kenny made his way to the bathroom. On the second floor he started to hear the running water. He approached the door.
He could hear the hums from the inside, a deep hum, surely a male voice. With one swift leg move, he kicked the door down only to find Mark naked with a woman in the bathroom, also naked. The lady screamed and Mark quickly turned to Kenny, eyes open wide.
"Oop! Sorry!" Kenny lifted his revolver towards Mark's head and took a shot, killing him. "I didn't see nothing! Sorry again!" He covered his eyes and left the bathroom leaving the naked lady screaming like crazy. He raced out of the house and passed by Theo who was smoking a cigarette, with a nod of his head, Theo started to follow Kenny's quick pace. |

"Shit, I'm sorry. But was she hot?" Theo asked after Kenny told him what happened.
"What? I didn't look!" Kenny said. "We kill, kidnap people, torture people. But naked ladies? We gotta draw the line somewhere."
After a few jokes and ideas thrown around by both men, they finally arrive at the Ghost Cavalry HQ for Kenny to report to Dawson and see if his crew had finished their tasks. A few of the boys had returned with tasks complete, other ones were still doing it. Kenny instructed those who had finished to find the ones who haven't and assist them.
"Gunther!" Kenny approached the night doorman who was having a cigarette near the fountain. "This here is Theo, can you show him to our recruiters? Say he's recommended by me and send him off on a few jobs." Gunther nodded and signaled to Theo to follow him.
"Hey, boy! Don't forget to visit me at the bar! But no drinks until you're 21!" Kenny shouted while making his way to Dawson's office, where he was busy working. Kenny kept it brief. Knocked the door and reported to him his success with Mark and Theo, and said that the boy has potential. Dawson asked about the other names and Kenny said that he's still working on it.
After a few days all of the Englishman crew was either killed or exiled from Summerlin. Now all the gangs in the district answered to Godfather Dawson. |
