After losing his HQ keys and looking everywhere for a month, Uncle Joe had almost given up hope on ever finding them. He had looked high and low and even up his ass like many had suggested. Uncle Joe had just received word that his friend, the Godfather Chairman of NY Dangerclose had summoned him for a meeting. The ever faithful Uncle Joe made his way over to Brooklyn and made his way into Dangerclose's HQ where he was greeted by the Godfather. 

Dangerclose and Joe hugged as the two exchanged formalities and made their way to the back office where they would get to the point of the meeting. Uncle Joe could tell it was something exciting from the smile on Dangerclose's face. Dangerclose thanked Joe for coming and got right to the point.

"Uncle Joe, I gave you permission to set up shop over a month ago now and yet here you are still stumbling around my city, apparently looking for your missing HQ keys. I know you're not a spring chicken anymore but how do you misplace those?" Asked Danger Close as he chuckled like a turkey.

Dangerclose continued.

"I think by this time you'll probably never find them."

Uncle Joe looked down in shame and responded.

"It's true, I'm not as spry or clear minded as I used to be, the marijuana definitely isn't helping but I assure you I can still take care of business. I may be an older dog, but I can still learn new tricks." Joe said with a shit eating grin.

Dangerclose smiled.

"I know you speak the truth old friend. Which is why I'm going to take one more gamble on you."

Dangerclose reached in his desk and pulled out a pair of keys with a bell attached to them.

"You're a king in this thing of our's Joe, a legend. Take these keys and go set up shop in Queen's. The former Godmother Teyla recently relocated to the motor city to organize vice and expand our operations. I want you to look after that borough with the same dedication that she did."

Uncle Joe couldn't believe it. His old friend was willing to give him another shot, a chance at redemption. Before Joe could respond he thought to himself what an honor it was to take up after the beloved Godmother Teyla and continue the good fight in the name of the Morningwood Elite.

Beaming, Uncle Joe responded to his Godfather Chairman.

"I'm honored that you've decided to give me another chance." Joe reached for his new HQ key's, shaking them and hearing their jingle jangle before continuing.

"Surely I won't be able to misplace these." He said jokingly.

Dangerclose and Uncle Joe stood up and shared a congratulatory drink before Joe placed his new HQ keys in his coat pocket and set out to Queens.

Leaving Dangerclose's HQ, Uncle Joe got outside and halfway down the street before frantically checking his pockets to make sure he still had the keys in his pocket.

"Phew, thank Christ." Said Joe before continuing on to open his headquarters, Salumeria Bielllese in Queens.
