It was another busy day for Uncle Joe. He had been thinking about expanding again and would look to move his already established Detroit faction from Bricktown to Corktown. He would be sending the Nuccio Crew from LA to run vice in the center district and fill the void left by the Denaro Crew.

With Nuccio leaving LA, Uncle Joe would be setting up Nuccio's closest man, Jimmy Thompson to watch over his interests and help keep the money from the rackets flowing up the ladder. Jimmy Thompson was more than capable and his star was quickly rising in the city of Angels. With everything squared away Uncle Joe reached for his rolling tray to roll up a joint and unwind. He thought to himself, on and on it goes, this thing of ours.

Pony raised an eyebrow, looking up and around the space above their head. Were they hearing voices? Going crazy? Were these the thoughts of another they were experiencing? Were these thoughts being forced upon Pony? How could Pony interact with such thrilling action? How could Pony respond? How could Pony participate in this 'street activity'? Pony thought and thought but couldn't make sense of it. 

It was all too weird for Pony.

It was time to exit, Pony thought.

On and on they go, far from this lunacy.

A wonderful time for Detroit no doubt. 

Let us hope that we can see Detroit flourish into a great city once again. 

There was large photos on the wall and the floor was marble as StripheCorelli took a walk down the HQ hallway towards the main room. You could hear each footstep as he took his steps as he walked by large portraits of the family members and loved ones who had passed that were hung up on the walls in the hallway. As he got closer to the door he stopped for a minute and took a large cigar out of a metal contained, taking a deep smell of the cigar before searching his pockets for a lighter. 

He found a lighter and lit the cigar taking a deep puff as smoke started to fill the hallway. As he opened the door to the main room of the HQ he saw a few people playing pool, a couple guys at the bar and a few people throwing some dice over in the game room. As he walked over to the bar to grab a drink, one of his men walked over and notified him of the move of some guys from LA to Det to expand operations and held to get things stable again.  

As he took a seat at the bar he took out his pen and a pad of paper and started to write a few words to the new leader in Detroit. The note was written with a all gold pen as StripheCorelli took a few shots of liquor

Congratulations on the move Don Nuccio and as always a pleasure to see and work alongside with anyone who is friends with Godfather Joseph_Ligambi. As we continue to expand and grow our drug, gambling and criminal operations across the nation we hope to never deal with the issues we have dealt with lately and this is a great step in that direction. 

He finished the note and handed it to his men to go hand deliver to Detroit, placing the pen down and slamming down another shot with the shotglass dear near breaking on the countertop

Nuccio is on a business trip to his former place of work and heart, Los Angeles. His logistics company „Ligambi Logistics“ is booming. Nuccio took the opportunity to board one of the family’s cargo planes to meet the Godfather Joseph_Ligambi in person. The great distance between the two cities makes such exchanges a challenge.

During the flight, Nuccio remembered StripheCorelli's friendly contact note, neatly written in fountain pen. He read it again and then looked outside with satisfaction. As the plane was about to land, Nuccio mused about the good relationships with many families in the USA. He instructed his bodyguard Gino, who was accompanying him, to send StripheCorelli a bottle of his favorite liquor to Philly, along with a thank-you card and an invitation to visit the warehouses at Detroit airport on a personal tour when he got the chance.

Once in Downtown Los Angeles, Nuccio is chauffeured to Godfather Joe's headquarters. He is looking forward to meeting him in person after all this time. Before he enters Joe's office, he re-reads through his hand notes with the most important milestones of the Ligambi Crime Family's business activities in Detroit to date.
