The days had been going by slowly since StripheCorelli had lost the keys to his HQ and just like his good friend Joseph_Ligambi knew all he could do was wait. He spent most of his days working at his family business in Philly or checking on his guys around town to make sure they had everything they needed for their operations.

The summer was starting to wind down but the heat was still a bitch he was reminded as he sat there sweating waiting and watching for the sun to go down and things to cool off a bit. He smoked a cigar and took a deep breath as the fan blew directly into his face making the smoke quickly blow all around the room. It had been a month now and it was finally time to step back up and get his own family going again. He had went back to work for Godfather Madness while things were situated but with jobs on the streets running low and a need to expand, Striphe knew the time was now to help establish things again

He motioned to his men to grab the nicest long black stretch limo as he wanted to take a ride downtown to remember some of the history of Philly and take a look at the state of things. As they cruised through the city with the limo windows down, Striphe drove by some of the old mansions in town where some of his fathers old friends lived including Godfather Shorsey, Godfather Spike, Godfather Transistor and others, both admiring and remembering the stories of the past while appreciating the future and where he was planning to bring his family.

He noticed Godfather Chairman Vittorio's beautiful mansion surrounded by security as he finished his tour of the city stopping by the Commissione and shaking a few hands and handing out cigars to all and giving Furio a large box of cigars. As the talking quieted down Striphe made an announcement which was no real news to most on the streets

It was about a month ago that I lost the keys to my HQ at The Corelli Crime Organization and since that day I have been working on plans to get my operations up and running again here in Philadelphia. We plan to increase jobs and stability across the nation so that we all have a place to do our crimes, with an atmosphere that most would consider a good place. I would like to thank my friends from the east coast to the west coast for their support as we finish the final touches on my new headquarters in Bella Vista, The Corelli Crime Family.

Striphe walked around and shook hands with some more people before grabbing a glass of wine and walking off with a group of mobsters to a small mom and pop restaurant around the corner where they would all eat and talk business all night
