As had already been explained in exposition elsewhere Chris had been very busy dealing with shit back in the old country. And it wasn't good shit, it wasn't like shit your would spread on your roses or around your rhubarb. No it was the kind of shit that Sanitary workers have to go into the sewers with billhooks to break up as it had backed up the system all the way to 5th Avenue. Those in the know will know what I am talking about, those who aren't can frankly go suck a monkey's nipple. Anywho, were where we? Oh yeah, Chris once again venturing into the streets. 

As always the Real Don Vaughn (don't be jealous Vaughn), the man with the plan, The Brahma Bull, The most Electrifying man in all of Mafiadom was looking splendid in a fine tailored suit, silk shirt, and mirrored shades. Usually he would start his speeches with a finally statement, and today was going to be no different.

"Finally, the Rock has gotten around... to Celebrating Isabella getting God something or other. No, no no Jabroni, she isn't the almighty Squishy, PBUH, no she is a Godfather... mother.. parent? You see the Rock just doesn't get the format. It is a title, and honorific, but should I refer to someone as a Godmother if they are female? Honestly, knowing the lady in question, I think she'd be happy with Godfather. Now, I know the millions... and millions of the Rock's fans will be out here today, and expect this speech to be about the Rock, but not every day is the Rock's day... well it is... but today is different. Today is the day that we Finally... get to honour Godfather Isabella. Better late than never. You see the Rock has been... Damn, there I go again, forgive me, Isabella right, but everyone knows the Rock likes to talk about himself. In fact the Rock heard it referred to earlier as Chutzpah, yeah the Rock heard you jabroni. 

So back to our tale. A while back the Rock finally returned to these shores, and Isabella put a good word in for him with her CL. He joined that family and was given the Role of Left hand Man whilst Isabella filled the role of Right Hand Man. You could say we both knew or roles. Time passed and we helped build Paradise into a towering bastion of power and criminality. As a reward, Isabella was given her own crew, the now infamous Wild Bunch. But this was no Sam Peckinpah technicolour masterpiece. No this was the best damn family Las Vegas has ever seen. Isabella at the helm, The Rock as her Right hand and Damp as her left... sorry? Who? Oh yeah, Dank. Sorry Dank, the great one apologises. As much as the Rock likes to pretend that Isabella needed his help, and that he secretly ran the whole operation, the truth is that he could have been surplus to requirements. In fact the Rock's main responsibility was cutting the lawn and supporting Damp erm Dank. It was a whole Weekend at Bernie's deal... you know what the Rock means. 

And then along came the war... not The War but a war, the war on New York. And just like the flight of the Earls, Paradise was left rudderless. But just like Hodor, holding the Door, Isabella stepped into the breach and plugged that gap. Perhaps more like the little boy who stuck his finger in the dyke... no, jabroni, not like that. Get your mind out of the gutter. the Rock is talking about Hans Brinker. Any way. So Isabella took up the Role of Godmother, and Dank... yeah I fooled you, the Rock knows your name, Dank went off to become her Captain, founding the awesome Stygian Company. The vacant role of Left hand was filled by the immensely capable Ted Pin-a.. Pinata? Awesome Ted! Since then the family has gone from strength to strength, building on the principals of greatness laid down in our early days by Isabella. We have added Tetley to our ranks, and JimmyJr and Frank-Costello and Whatsername and Ketamine and... you know what, the Rock could go on all day listing the great Mobsters that he gets to work with on a daily basis, but as much as this isn't about the Rock, this isn't about the jabronis either.

This is Isabella's day, quite possibly the single greatest Family head the Rock has had the pleasure to work under this year! And that is saying a lot. But all joking aside, Paradise and Las Vegas would not be as awesome as they are without the tireless hard work and dedication of Isabella, and the Rock has seldom witnessed a more happy and well adjusted family in his existence. So here's to you Isabella, Godmother of Paradise. It may be 2 weeks late, but your family loves you! If you smellllah, what the Rock, is cookin'!"

Isa hears the speech that her Rh Chris_Vaughn delivers. More importantly she feels his heartfelt words. Ironically, like Chris, Isa has been dealing with troubles in the old country. She knew how important it was to Chris to deliver this announcement. And that was all that mattered to Isa, delivered or not.

Isa reflects on Mocha when she was in her crew wanting to deliver the speech the day Isa challenged the Godfather. She respectfully declined informing her Chris would and wanted to take on the glorious moment. Isa shakes off her deep thoughts and decides to dab her eyes, and clear her throat to address Chris, her crew and all else who cares to hear about how Isa is living the dream. 

Thank you, Chris. We have been joined by the hip since your birth. And there is nothing I would want to change about you. You are worthy of respect of every man that walks these shores. Thank you!

Everyone who came out to offer me well wishes and congratulate me the day I challenged the Godfather I humbly appreciate and thank you once again. Since the day I arrived in this country I have been on a continuous grind. My hard work and dedication with the upmost loyalty and respect to all is evident. I am most appreciative to all who see me to be the businesswoman I am. 

I value my crew with much respect and love and can genuinely say I am a nobody without them. They are my world. Before I became Godfather, I actually required a larger headquarters. And I still do. It is my wishes all lead by example for the future of this life we live. We all endure troubled waters and political destruction does not excel business. For example: John Doe is not political enough and known enough for our taste regardless of how good he or she is for business. They are not carte blanche to have their own district. Aye? 

Some of you know because of my some of my hardship in the old country, that this is the end of my kin returning. When I say I want myself to lead by example I mean it with every fiber in me. When I hear from my crew often say this is the best crew that have been in, I must be doing something right. When I hear I want to stay with you, I must be doing something right. When I get requests to join my crew and I am full, I must be doing something right. I simply cannot neglect my job as an upper structure for any reason. If I could not fulfill my obligations, I know the solution. I would step down. 

Isa exits teary eyed and with her dignity intact

frank hears alot of talking and goes outside and sees Chris With a mic in one hand talking and he rises a eye brow and frank goes to shake the rocks hand and says. " im proud too be here and isa is doing amazing job too and also thank you for the warm welcome and congrats to isa"Frank then gets a budweiser and offers chris one to and smiles.

The streets stood silent as Chris eloquently expressed words of love, support, and gratitude for our Godmother of Paradise and Las Vegas Isabella. The sun shone brightly haloing Godmother Isabella in a holy light. She was a god among men, graceful and beautiful, the world could write literally sonnets. Not a cloud in sight, because even they feared the wrath that could be unleashed should they disgrace this day. Izara listened as Chris’s powerful words trailed off and Godmother Isabella spoke. She waited until her Godmother had a free moment from the people and The Wild Bunch family congratulating her on this momentous achievement. 
 

Smiling brightly enough to blind Izara approached with two champagne glasses full of liquid happiness, handing one to Isabella she said,

“I’m so so so happy for you. You do so much behind the scenes. You are an incredible woman, mobster, and Godmother. Thank you for all that you’ve  done and will continue to do for us. I appreciate you taking a chance on a lost and angry girl and turning her into an efficient and happy Don. To you Isabella.”

Izara raises her glass in toast to Isabella

Well, here I am Godfather Chairman Isabella, better late than never.  Yes, I remember the day you challenged the NPC Godfather and succeeded. I was extremely honored to be in the midst of that grand day when you achieved the most significant accomplishment in this thing of ours.

Throughout my journals, I have read how you were so strong but gentle, educated but humble, and fierce yet compassionate.

Again congratulations.  You have made many very proud.
