Clarity had arrived to the five star restaurant that had just opened in New York. Supposedly, it was going to be the next big thing and she figured tonight would be the perfect time to test out the food. She had invited Jordan's right hand, Trunks to join her as she had some business to discuss with him. He was an extremely hard worker and even though he was always busy he had always made time to see his friend Clarity.

She was escorted into the restaurant and gave one of the best seats near the bar and the entertainment, which tonight was going to be a soft jazz band. She waved the waiter over and ordered some fine champagne for the table and waited for Trunks to arrive.

Seeing him enter the establishment she waved him over and smiled. He was looking quite dashing and seemed to be in a cheery mood, which was only going to get better.

"Sit, sit!" Clarity said as she smiled at him. "We have business to discuss before we dine!"

She could hear him sigh. She knew he was hoping for a relaxing night and at the mention of business he quickly jumped to the conclusion that it wasn't going to be fun.

"Oh hush you! You're going to enjoy this! You should know by now that I'm hardly a party pooper!"

They both laughed a bit at her childish joke.

"I'm sorry, you must forgive me!" Trunks said as he nodded to the waiter that was bringing over the champagne. Filling their glasses he was waved off and they began to talk.

"My dear, you have worked very hard for this city. You have many things that take up your time, but you still always give your 110% to myself and especially Jordan. I can't thank you enough nor have I overlooked it!"

Trunks started to eye Clarity and was a bit confused as to what she was leading up to.

"Don't give me that look! Anyway, our city is filling up fairly quick and I need a new leader to set up shop. I have spent many weeks thinking things over and I feel that you are my best choice. Think you are up for the task?"

Trunks could barely contain his excitement, he jumped up and pulled Clarity up with him to hug her and kiss her on both cheeks. A bit startled Clarity looked from side to side to see others reactions and then back to Trunks.

"I suppose I should take that as a yes?" She giggled a bit and sat back down.

"The money for your new Headquarters is in my car. You'll receive this when we are done eating. Once you have that you will be heading up your own crew. Better make me proud or I'll make sure the walls are painted pink!"

Smiling she then motioned for the waiter to come over and take their orders, as they continued to catch up and chat about this and that.

Technical overheard all the way from Detroit that Trunks was the next in line to own a Headquarters. He got a plane ticket and made his way to New York. It took him a while to figure out which restaurant this announcement was being conveyed to Trunks but, in the end he found it. He walked into the restaurant and took a seat to wait patiently until Trunks was finished with his meal.

Trunks, I'm happy to see you finally get some keys of your own to start your own family. I wish you the best of luck and know that you will do an excellent job.

Technical shakes Trunks's hand and buys Trunks a bottle of champagne to let him celebrate.

With a glass of champagne in her hand Jordan smiled at Trunks and thought about the time they worked together.

You certainly will be missed in Unique Rabbits, my friend. You were my rock, always by side when I needed help and always did it with a smile. It was an honor to work with someone who loves this thing of ours as much as I do. I’m happy to see you get this great opportunity in New York. You deserve it. I know with your traditional beliefs in our business and your work ethic you’ll make this city greater than what it already is.

Jordan raised her glass to her former Right Hand Man.

Congratulations and good luck.

Tony_Scarpone takes the last bite of his baked ziti, and sips his glass of wine.  He turns to his head bodyguard Vinny and whispers in his ear.  He walks over to Trunks as he is enjoying his bottle of champaigne.

"This is definetely a proud day for you, and well deserved for all the work you have done.  I'm honored to have worked for you and look forward to working with your family as the great city of New York continues to grow,"

Tony reaches for a glass of champaigne and raises it with Trunks.

"To the man of the hour, may this be the beginning of something great.  Salute!" 

Clarity, my dear friend I can not begin to explain how honored I am to be given this outstanding opportunity. This city has breathed some life back into me so to speak, and I would have not thought in a million years it would come this far, I am simply speechless and I can give you my word that I will not let you down. This city means everything to me and this, well, I don’t even know what to say because words just cant explain how proud I am right now. I will make you, and everyone else proud, failure is not an option.

Trunks lets a grin run from ear to ear looking into Clarity’s eyes…

This is truly a dream come true, ive always been more then happy just to be in this fine city with you and everyone else, you have all given me such a great place and welcomed me with wide open arms. What else can I say but thank you so much, Clarity I can promise you that this is only a start to a new journey of great things.

Trunks can barely contain himself hugging Clarity over and over…

This city has proven itself time and time again; I am truly honored to be part of this set of elite leaders.

Finally letting go of Clarity he gains his composure and sits back down in his seat sitting there with his massive grin he starts to speak again…

Till death do us part my old friend, ill never forget this, ever.

Mercury grabs a bottle of champagne, shakes it and opens it spraying Champagne all over the place. She laughs, pours a glass and raises it.

Congrats Trunks. The best of luck and prosperity to you and your family! Live ling and prosper!

Xiphos has mysteriously shown up in the restaurant, heard the exchange between Trunks and Clarity. His appearance is a complete mystery, even to himself. He doesn't know how he got there, but doesn't think too much into it. After Clarity breaks the news to Trunks, Xiphos steps up and gives Trunks a hearty hand shake.

My friend, our lines go back quite a ways, many generations. It has always been a pleasure, from what I've heard, to work along side your family. It is a great honor to be set up beside you in New York. Well, you'll be set up beside me as I've been here longer.

Xiphos gives a quick smirk, and gives his friend another hand shake. A smile has graced his lips.

All jokes aside, you are a very good man, and a good friend. You are a model citizen in our lifestyle, and I could think of no one else I'd rather stand beside in this business. Best of luck with your family, and you know where my HQ is, if you ever need anything. I know this business can be a bit demanding, but I have faith in you my friend.

WIth a curt nod, Xiphos makes his exit to find some women, or some booze. Both would be preferable, but he'll take what he can get.

Talking to the restaurant manager about the latest delivery of antique paintings and sculptures to be delivered she sent the associates to finish unloading.  Sliding a list over discreetly she thanks him for a business and approaches the bar.  As she approaches the bar she overhears the conversation between Trunks and Clarity, notices more gather around she asks the bar man for a card to send over a attached to a Methusalah.

Writing on the card, she signs

Jordan has always talked of what a great help you have been to her and how lucky she has been to have you.  I wish you the very best of luck in your new venture.  May it bring you every success. Liza

I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone and there kind words, means the world to me to have that kind of support.

Ill do everything in my power to make sure all these kind words are not gone to waist! Thanks everyone, and can assure you through thick or thin, I will continue to push forward for this great city.

Congratulations Trunks my old friend. You deserve this chance more than anyone else and am so glad to see you finally get it!

Carlo raises his glass.

To Trunks!
