Walking in to the now silent headquarters, you felt no more life within it's walls. The offices and chairs were empty. Soon the government would be running over the premises and all things would be confiscated. Yet, if you passed through the halls towards the office of Clarity you would go through the door to come upon many papers laying on her desk, but a certain few stood out. Looking it over you realize that she had left a goodbye as if she knew that she would die. Standing there you began to read it over.

Standing there you began to read it over.

If you are reading this, that most likely means I have passed away. Yet, I will get straight to the point. You will all have plenty to focus on rather than stand here and read a huge book.

 

To Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Detroit- I cannot thank you enough, it almost brought tears to my eye's to see so many cities stand by my side and even though I may fall and many others may also, the backing and bonds that your support shows means more than any of you could know. You all showed me that I wasn't just another bold, that when push came to shove all of you would put your life on the line to help my city and me. I am forever grateful. Thank you so very much.

To New York- My wonderful city, oh how you mean the world to me. Every single one of you put in so much hard work and I don't think I could ever repay all of you for it. You made being a city leader and a Godfather, even though it was stressful, a wonderful adventure that I will never forget. I am proud to say that I couldn't of asked for a better group of people or members. Even though many may give their lives for this city, I hope that your time here was a good one if not great. If I could give my life to save all of yours I would do it. I'm sorry I could not offer all of you more than I did. I love you NY and don't forget it!

JesseJames- Even though you have passed away quite a while ago, I owe you everything. You kept me safe many times and gave me my chance to shine. I'll always be grateful to you for this. You were not only a good friend, but like a big brother to me. I thank you for this, even if I have passed before I saw everything through.

Xiphos- You were my rock. You stood by my side since day one and never left. Even though I had to kick you in the ass a few times, we made an excellent team. You were with me for my ups and my downs. You gave me my strength to continue when I felt I had failed. You saw something in me that I never could. You believed in me when I didn't even believe in myself. You were my best friend and I'll never be able to say thank you enough.

Jordan- We never really knew each other until you asked to be moved to my crew when I set up. I was so honored and found out quickly that you would be one of the hardest workers I ever met. You proved yourself time and time again that you weren't just another kid off the block. Which made you the best choice as my Left Hand and first actual auth. You did so much for my family and the city of New York that I could go on for a lifetime if not  more with giving you thanks. You are an outstanding person and leader. Thank you for everything.

Trunks- My mother and your past generations had been good friends. Which was no surprise that we became good friends also. Yet, you worked hard for me and for Jordan. You were the perfect fit to replace the hole that was left when Jack left for LA. From being my crew's bartender to posting for hours on a 60 seconds list, you never stopped for the city. Thank you so much, my dear.

JackPepper- It wasn't until we both came to Chicago that we really got to know each other. I was a brand new leader and was gave the go ahead to my own city, without you things would have been so much harder and I probably wouldn't of learned so much. You gave me advice and helped me turn New York into a grand city. Yet, along the way we grew to be friends and I have found a person I know I will always be able to trust. So thank you, thank you for never turning your back on me especially when you knew that going into such a thing that would lose many lives.

Aeolus- You joined me when I was just starting out and never left my side. You did all you could for my family and continued to show your loyalty to me when I went on to be a city lead and Godfather. You bugged me asking for more to do because you never felt like you were doing enough. The fact that you never faltered and was always there for me is something I hope that I can show to you. You will always have a loyal friend in me as you proved to me that I had in you. Thank you, my friend, thank you.

Kimble- Oh where would I be without you, if it was not for you my mother would probably have never ventured out to our streets, you gave her that kick in the butt to have more confidence and when you did, she never backed down. You allowed for her to flourish and then did the same for me when you took me in. Although your life was cut short, you will always be the one I have to thank to have pushed me and pushed me to be who I wanted to be. You showed me that if I did my best and tried hard I could be whatever I wanted to be. I owe you a lot and I have to thank you for that. 

SexyBeast/AlabamaWorley- I know I combined you two, but the both of you always offered your help and ear if I was to ever need it. You both showed me that through and through I could count on you both. Even though this is short, I hope it is very sweet. Thank you.

 

I know that I could go on for a very long time listing names and saying something about everyone, but my time is short. I have a shoot out I have to get to, whether I will live or die I will always cherish everything I have had during my life. This is not a goodbye, this is only just a new beginning.

For the lives that may be lost, I am very sorry that it came to this. I wish I could protect everyone. Yet, I'm not the kind of leader to just go down without a fight. I will protect my city even if that means I die for it. I can only wish that not too many lives are lost because of this, if they are, I hope that we can all rebuild this world into something we all love.

Thank you,

Clarity

As you finished it, you let out a soft sigh. She had wrote this before going into battle, without knowing what it would bring. Her heart was heavy with all the lives that had been lost and she even gave up her own in attempting to gun down the enemy. Yet, she had to of let everyone know how thankful she was. Even if it barely covered all the people she had to thank.

Fist-O was reading the note in the old Guns & Horses Headquarters he came to know like a home.  That's when it really sunk in that she was really gone.  Fist-O was shocked to say the least.  Fist-O made his way around the office.  Remember all the good times had there with the old gang. 

So many good memories were had here.  Memories I couldn't forget in a million years.  You will be missed Clarity, missed by many.

Fist-O puts the letter back where he found it just in case another member of New York or relative decides to come and visit.  Before leaving Fist-O remembered he left a beer in the fridge over in the kitchenette so he grabbed it and popped it open to do one last cheer as he raised his can then left the Headquarters for the last time in his life.

Like my sister illuminati once said "the greatest fear is not in failing but in rising back twice as hard evertime you fall "

So rising should give me fear...? :/

Clarity, my bloodline and yours have only known each other for the past 5 or 6 months but in that time i feel that we have become close. My Great-Grandfater returned to these shores and joined you in Chicago. From the journals of my last 3 ancestors I have come to know that you are a great person and a great leader. You will be greatly missed.

'Well, in a way it could Andy, rising brings it's Responsibility's and risks with it'

'I must say i love too a see and hear different sides of people after an event that ook place the past 2 day's'. Admiral say's

RIP

Townslave walks up to Simplicity and hands her a letter from his father Technical to her Mother Clarity.

Dear Clarity,

It seems Stamina is hot on my trail after Jessie_Pinkman's death. It was an honor working under you in the original Chicago city. I had a good time trying to help you where I could even after we moved to New York. You put trust in me to go to Detroit and I can not thank you enough to allowing me the chance to run my own family. I was able to eventually run Detroit myself and it could have never happened without your blessing. Stamina is waiting for me in Detroit and I will go face my fate head on. I only hope that before I die that I can change this world for the better. I will try to buy you as much time as I can and distract him.

Tell Xiphos it was a great experience to get to know all of you. I have told stories to my Kin about him and one day maybe our children can start where we left off. The stories go on and on from Xiphos becoming the Don he was meant to be to running as Mayor of New York. I will watch over you all in Heaven and wish you all the best of luck. I know in my heart that Fiction will never be forgotten.

Jordan I will miss going to The Manhattan just to come and see how business is doing. Maybe your cook can make me some porkchops to take with me as a reminder to all the pleasant memories we had together. I have told my child about you as well and maybe he will go back to The Manhattan one day to learn of my past. We had a couple of interactions in New York and maybe one day that drug you are working on will make the baseball player better.

Trunks we always referred ourselves as TNT my child will hear about you as well. I'm sorry but I must make my explosive exit from this world in my city, Detroit. I had some good times sharing our drinking stories. My child keeps telling me he wants to meet you all when he gets the chance from all the stories I had told him. If you ever meet him, please watch over him and show him the world.

I can not thank my city, Detroit, enough for the faith they have put in me to run the city from my dreams. Senka if you ever read this letter you helped me on so many of my decisions its not even funny. You did not always appreciate the decisions I made but you stood by them regardless. You even changed my mind about some of stupid ideas I had. I appreciate all your help while you helped me in the Last of the Banditos. May your Chaotic Angels make a name for themselves.

Valmont I know you will find your way to this letter as well. If you can, help the Last of the Banditos work back up from these struggles and threw the rest of this war. You have it in you to become a great leader. I would like to see you one day run my family. Help Senka in Detroit to keep it the city it is meant to be. With all the help I have left you, it shouldn't be a problem to build back up in the future. Keep strong my friend and the Banditos will too!

Jessie_Pinkman I will be there soon!

Sincerely,
Technical

After the streets of new york have completely stopped ringing from guns firing, bullets rickashaying and screaming men and women fighting for their lives. SpaceCowboy looks around with his gun in hand before entering the headquarters of Clarity. He notices Carlo-Maldini and sees the sad look in his face. SpaceCowboy is given the terrible news of her death, Xiphos, Trunks and Jordans. Space notices several new faces and friendly familiar ones around what looks like a note. He walks towards the group and starts to read the letter, after reading a tear roles down his eye. SpaceCowboy whipes it away with his sleeve and notices Simplicity's daughter in the crowd.

Miss, your mother was a great leader and friend to those who worked alongside her. Its sad to see this headquarters is now empty. On the bright side with New york's losses it is still alive, with two new leaders to live up to your mothers legacy. It was a pleasure to work for the city and serve under Clarity. Best of luck Carlo and Fist-O in rebuilding this fine city. A lot of work is needed in the seven cities, I must skedaddle to lend some help in rebuilding.

SpaceCowboy forces a smile and tips his hat before making his way out the door.

Brolly walks into Clarity’s old HQ still looking beat up from the weekend but in a clean new suit and some shiny new shoes that slightly take away from the noticeable stitches and bruises on his face...

Upon reaching where everyone is standing he takes a good look around an notices a few faces that worked with his father Trunks, he more sees a lot of there kin who he grew up with. They all new someday they would walk into there parents footsteps, but not like this not so many way once, lightly grasping the letter Godmother Clarity left behind he starts to read about all the glorious leaders the city had and amount of respect and love Clarity had for these individuals and her city…

Clarity, my father spoke so much about you, I was always worried about him not coming home if we ever lost him that my mother would not be able to provide for us, he always spoke of your name and said if he could die fighting by your side it would be the greatest honor in his lifetime, I never truly understood this until now. After being the business a short while you were one of a kind, and one of my fathers best friends, I finally understand what he was, and how he came about being the man he was. It was because of you, take care of him for me, I know he wouldn’t have wanted to go out any other way.

My father also told me stories of the other leaders he worked by in our fine city, though there was more then leaders he mentioned in his time I have lot of things I need to attend to, and because of every single one of you and the trust and love you placed in my father as he always said, Failure is not an option.

Xiphos – My father used to tell me how proud he was that our family lines finally got to work together, though our bloodlines have always been good friends they were always placed in different cities when it came to work. He had always held you as one of the best leaders in this thing of ours and just to stand in New york with you made him beyond overjoyed. I know he is up there with you right now having a blast, what he always wished for he can now stand with his brother for eternity.

Jordan – Where do I begin, our bloodline met a very long time ago with Badass Inc. After that my bloodline starting fading in and out of this line of work and lost contact with many in the line of work. When he found out who your ancestors were my father was so excited to come work for you as your Left Hand. I remember him telling me you will never meet quite a gem like this you, you were one of his best friends and you helped him back along his way after my bloodline lost some knowledge due to being away from this kind of work. You gave him all the opportunity in the world to grow and be the man he was before he died, he owed that opportunity to you and the chances you gave him, he couldn’t thank you enough, I cant thank you enough for everything you have done. When you promoted him to your right hand he was more then likely the happiest I have ever seen him in his hole life. He literally walked taller, felt bigger, he was always a proud man, but never seen him so proud as he was to specifically be your Right hand. I love you, and im missing you so much right now.

After speaking brolly sets the letter down on the table and pulls out four shot glasses and fills them full of the finest whiskey around and sets them on the table next to the letter and then taking a swig himself.

I will continue to move forward for all of you, my very existence is for you elites and I will move forward every day for New York. You are all in my heart, and I will never forget any of you.

Brolly turns around and walks out the entrance of the old HQ taking another swig before leaving the property…
