I would have to agree with you Mr Balboni, Mr Flannery didn't use any outside help... But I am sure you will not deny he used other underhand tactics, Mr Flannerys sudden betrayal took away the chance for Skorpeon to be able to build an info network of his own. For Mr Flannery to resort to the tactics he did for everyone to witness with the "LookingforSkorp", Makes the hired help to take down "Rent a Kill Inc" a little more justified then it already was.

It cant take away from what Skorpeon managed to accomplish, I know in Skorpeons recent bloodline history he has been great in the 1vs50's upwards and he always shows real true courage. I must note how each time in his families history there have always been people on the sidelines who wanted to help but were always less showing of so in actions. I must also note how I have always seen little to no complaints from Skorpeons kin when his father does fall, He shows real class by brushing himself down and working twice as hard to get back to where he was.

As for Hired help being whores of the night... I am sure there are alot of people whom disagree with it, But people who decide to take up the reins to lead should be ready to show that they are willing to do anything to ensure the safety of their future. I'm sure it took alot of negotiations, and then an sustainable amount of work to ensure it was justified and accomplish-able. Hired help is a way of this life style... Business, Everything in this way of life is a shady grey really... But if the evidence points towards one side being more unreasonable or unfair, Are you right to question how another man goes about his business so openly?

I wish to congratulate you again Sir Skorpeon, and I hope to see alot more success from the city of Chicago. I honestly wish you and Mr Flannery could have formed a good partnership but it wasnt to be. And RIP to everyone that has lost their lives.

Well Mr Pinkman, as I said I know very little about what actually transpired. Mr Flannery may have used underhanded tactics, but as you have said ours is a business that operates mainly in the grey.

As for am I right to question, if someone doesn't question how does one learn? I have my own opinions on how things should be done, that does not mean I'm open to learning the other ways of some aspects of our business. Granted this is open, however I am not the first to bring the asked of hired help to this discussion and as my old ma always told me there is more than one way to skin a cat.

Can I ask though, first Cory mentioned living in the past, now you have talked about Skorpeans history. What has any of that got to do with him? The past is the past, Skorpeans history is his own history. The recent civil war was only but a few days ago so can still be considered the present. Why are you advocating this man on his history, rather than on his present?

I'm sure he wouldn't be in the position he is now if he wasn't thought capable in the first place?

"Well like you said Dante, you don't know everything that transpired. All of that is considered family business. The questions that can be answered will and the ones that can't be answered won't be. Everything that we have wanted to mention has been said. The rest doesn't mean anything so why even talk about it? It is part of the family that is as far as it wil go. I don't understand why you are asking us questions about our business and how we might do something, cause those questions are never answered. it would be poor of a family to do so. All the learning comes from your Crew Leader, not from everyone else.

To be honest, I don't know anything of Skorpeons past, nor do I really care about it. I know the Skorpeon I do now and that is the reason I am here and the only reason I am here. I believe you might have misunderstood me when I mentioned 'past' as I was not referring to this mans own past history. More towards the outcome of the war because this civil war is now considered the past, as there is only one family in Chicago now. I don't know how a fallen family can have an effect on the present. The present has already been stated in his first comment, as we are looking to build Chicago to the way we know it can be. The future is always hazzy.

So is there another question you might have? This wasn't really open to questions, more so comments, however I will be willing to answer whatever else you might have. If it is our business, then thats the way it will stay. Anything else at all and I will answer. "

thinks of how PJ loves the idea of open discussion in front of the police, she wonders in her head why previously cities have been bound by a non-interference from outside rule and shouldnt all cities be on a level playing field this way, e.g. Vegas.  rubs her chin and continues walking

Jessie_Pinkman, just for your info Chris didnt use any as you say underhanded tactics. I made every decision so if you want to blame someone for using underhanded tactics that would be me not chris.

Very noble of you Donnie. But you were a direct representation of Chris. Whatever you did has a path back to the leader who takes responsibility for you and your actions.

However. You do what you have to do to survive. Anyone who does not shouldn't be in charge of their own people. In my opinion.

Technical finally made it to the street where the massive group of people stood before Skorpeon. He overheard -Donnie- and thought on it for a moment. Technical looked to Jessie_Pinkman and gave him the sign he would talk to this man. After a few seconds he addressed -Donnie-.

I believe what you are meaning to say is that your ancestors were named solely for the purpose of looking for Skorpeon. Are you telling me Chris_Flannery didn't choose to keep your fathers as Left Hand Man and your fathers were indeed behind those decisions and not Chris_Flannery?

Technical moved up to Jessie_Pinkman and stood by his side.

I am not saying it doesent represent my crew leader Buxton i just say that Chris never told me himself how or what to do during war, during war i was making all decisions on my own good one and bad ones and yes technical Chris had nothing to do with anything he didnt even knew my ancetor lookingforskorp came on these shores to help me untill he suicided. My father and i made every single decision in that war not chris, not emma or not demonic and if someone has to be blamed for war its me but you should know that Technical i myself contacted you to save few of our members who i didnt want to see involved in war.

Technical listened to -Donnie- and thought for a while.

-Donnie- are you aware Chris_Flannery had to say you were his Left Hand Man to become one? To my knowledge your grandfather and father were both Left Hand Man under Chris_Flannery. Should I believe that Chris_Flannery was unaware not once, but twice? Was his Left Hand Man keeping stuff from him?

Does not stack up I am afraid Donnie. As Technical has pointed out. Chris appointed you LH. He placed in a position of trust. EVERYTHING you did reflects directly on him.

I will say this. If you were running the family in the position of LHM during a time of war and he did absolutely nothing himself. Not making a single decision or choice after initiating the war himself then he deserves to be where he is now. To leave a LHM in charge of all the members who trusted him is absolutely appalling behaviour and not of one who would be fit to wear the bold suit. Especially when the said LHM is rumoured to not have wanted to go forth with the war anyway.

You dont understand me, he was aware what i am doing becouse i had to tell him also who to shot and what to do but i never asked him for permisson and he didnt knew for some decision untill it was time for them to be done. As you know it was first time for Chris to have his own family and he trusted me becouse i was rhm in his first family(Cadoras in NY) so when eveything was about to happen i told him to make me lhm. Chris like everyone else in that family were following my orders.

Nah thats not truth Buxton, rumors arent always true. I was the one who told chris to take down skorpeon.

Jessiepinkman I would be interested to here these underhand tactics done by Chris.

Are you saying attacking someone without warning is an underhand tactic?

Are you saying new blood coming to our shores with the skills of finding people are an underhand tactic?

Ohh and i forgot to mention Buxton, not always we are happy with decisions made by our crew leader but we follow it even if that means death.

Correct Donnie. You hit the nail on the head. You follow your leader. You shouldn't have to lead him.

Never is a pretty sight when decisions are made right or wrong and actions taken. Blood spilled is never good for short term business but sometimes best for long term prosperity and you just never know what will happen in our life, as they say it is a gamble.

Throws a pair of dice into the corner... the two dice striking the brick and bouncing showing a loss for Striphe as he sighed as he threw down a few more dollars for the next throw

Mr Skorpeon I appreciate you taking the time from your busy schedule to let us all know what has transpired in Chicago, as some of the young and not connected mobsters were very curious I am sure. In a business where mistakes cost life's and money and friends make the world go around you never know what a new day will bring but we keep at it everyday, making that money and expanding our business and enterprises to increase our wealth and status and you will be around to do just that. I just hope you can get a casino set up and maybe a strip club for my entertainment.

Buxton, i never said i was leading him, he was asking for advices like i dont think there is cl that doesent consult with his crew/city upper structure before making decisions, during war yeah i was in charge but thats job hit squad leader at least i think.

Ohh and becouse it seems a lot of people are listening to this speech i just want to say that LilyDare is awsome!!!!

Donnie smiles and then lights up cigar

Civ listens to Skorpeon and decided to give the man his thoughts on this situation...

"Skorpeon my friend, i dont know much of you but the fact that every converstations we had has been pleasing. As for what happened with Chris and your inner city business, i dont have a clue of what went on in the mans head. Chris always showed himself as a good man to me, but hey... i guess we dont get along with everyone around here. It is a pitty to see him go down so soon after he was privileged to build his own city. It is good to see you are still alive and can continue on building Chicago. Or course, if you can make it even greater than it was before, that would be grand. Surviving those hits is a very good sign, i wish you well sir."

Civ smiles at Skorpeon and shakes his hand!

" Are you saying new blood coming to our shores with the skills of finding people are an underhand tactic?"

Romeo, what Jessie is trying to say is that this new 'lookingforskorp' mobsters came to our shores, flew city, faked his own death (suicide), then had his kin return to repeat the process. Enabling him to check all of the cities we currently reside in instantly for Skorpeons location.

This was quickly spotted by the gods and a change was made to prevent this 'underhand tactic'

That's underhand?

Hasn't it been a widely used tactic albeit not quite as blatantly for as long as wars have happened?
