The Regiment Started by: Lancelot on Apr 06, '12 09:46

It was quite a week, one that no one will forget in a hurry we saw war on scale not seen for a longtime many of the top mobsters in this thing of ours now lay lifeless their legacy's all but a memory, cities destroyed empires crushed friends and loved ones lost, it sure was a one hell of a week.

Floating from one funeral home to the next Lancelot paid his last respects to all the friends he lost, each one bringing back memories of happier times remembering their dreams and ambitions and how they all had great lives ahead of them, things can change so quickly he thought to himself. He had one more friend to see the most painful of them all his beloved boss Jordan, upon entering the chapel tears started to flow freely, placing a single red rose on the coffin Lancelot wiped away the tears, "I wish i could have kept you safe from harm, you were an inspiration and i cant thank you enough for how you looked after me, everything i achieve in this life will be in memory to you rest well my friend".

As Lancelot left the funeral home he noticed a couple of Godfather JackPeppers trusted bodyguards waiting by his car thinking the big man was near by, Lancelot staightened himself out and proceeded towards his vehicle, "The Godfather would like to see you urgently we are to escort you there now, he is a busy man and doesn't like to be kept waiting" said one of the burly minders, sensing the urgency in the mans voice Lancelot replied "we best be on our way then" before climbing into the back of their car. The drive seemed to take an eternity with no one saying a word just the odd fleeting glimpse at each other, Lancelots mind was racing had he done anything to anger the Godfather what could he possibly want to see me for?.

Arriving at the Godfathers mansion Lancelot could see the city heads discussing business with JackPepper, as Lancelot exited the vehicle the talking stopped and all eyes were upon him, his heart beating like drum he made his way over to the group of men "Good day gentlemen i believe you wanted to see me" he said nervously, JackPepper stared for a few moments before clearing his throat "I appreciated you coming over at short notice you are not an easy man to find, we have been discussing the future as you know there is an awful lot of rebuilding to do not only here in LA but across all of the cities, certain things have already been put into place with regards to some of the other cities and after lengthy discussions it has been decided that we need another crew here in LA, how would you feel about heading that crew?" all eyes were on Lancelot again as they awaited his reply, "It would be an honor sir to serve you and the fine city of Los Angeles, i appreciate this opportunity and will strive to repay the faith you have shown in me i hope i can stand as tall as some of those we lost" Lancelot said with a surprised look.

"Then thats settled then, here take these" JackPepper hands Lancelot a set of keys and a piece of paper with an address written down "Im sure you will find everything you need, good luck!" Motioning one of his BG's over the Godfather told him to take Lancelot back to his car "You have a lot of work ahead of you so i wont take up anymore of you're time, my friend here will take you back to you're car i will contact you again later, have a good day!" with that the Godfather was gone.

After collecting his own car Lancelot made his way over to the address on the piece of paper upon arriving the thing that first struck him was size of the place it was huge it seemed no expense was spared purpose built almost, looking around Lancelot couldn't help thinking you could comfortably accommodate an army here this place has it all, making his way to his office for the first time Lancelot paused at the door and pulled out a plaque, screwing it securely above the door it simply read The Regiment.

I would like to say a big thank you to both JackPepper for this opportunity and to Marston for taking me in and looking after me these last few days it was a privilage working with you.

Kurtz had asked his driver to drop him off a few blocks away. Enjoying the crisp morning air he walked past the dew kissed lawns and sun warming walls of the neighbourhood. He liked this town, as crazy as it was, in the early morning when all was quiet, it had a serene peace about it. As he strolled he dropped by the old bakery and grabbed a coffee before heading over to Lancelot's new headquarters. Arriving outside he took a sip of his steaming coffee and looked at the sign.

The Regiment. Nice...

Walking up the steps he headed inside and found Lancelot busily delegating tasks and giving instructions to various people. Kurtz walked over and chuckled.

Looks like you're well in the swing of things! Having fun? Ha!

Lancelot rolled his eyes and sent his people away for a moment. Kurtz smiled and shook his friend warmly by the hand.

Man, I'm very pleased that Godfather Jack gave you this opportunity. My family has known yours since your first explorations into this life we lead. As sorry as I am about the circumstances that brought you to this city, I am delighted to see you taking this step now. As all of us were part of New York just a few short weeks ago, it seems that this is just a natural reuniting of friends. I know you to be an intelligent and capable individual and I'm sure you'll provide sound ward over the family you develop.

Kurtz stepped back as a carpenter walked by with arms full of planks. Deciding he was best leaving his friend alone he made his excuses.

I'd best leave you to your fun man. I will be here to help with whatever you need my friend. Don't be a stranger.

Catriona is walking out of her favourite bar when she hears an announcement on thes streets, Allowing her curiousity to overcome her, she walks over and listens to what is said.

Congratultions Lancelot! My mother spoke most highly of you, and my family before that too, I'm so pleased for you! Good luck, although I'm sure that that is something you really won't need!

She slides a bottle of champagne into Lancelot's coat pocket, winking

I'm sure you'll be celebrating later, so enjoy!

Smiling warmly, Catriona turns and disappears into the crowds

It was a sunny day and T-Man did't bother to take a taxi to the shop. T-Man was just a few blocks from the shop. When he heard his good friend Lancelot talking. T-Man decided to stop by and listen to him. T-Man approached Lancelot with a firm handshake.

Hello mate, This great news for you and the city of Los Angles. I'll see you around.

T-Man then left the crowd and started to walk to the shop

Innocence wandered around the new HQ and imagined the possibilities. Outside she joined Lancelot on the front stairs as a few people congratulated him.

“I’m happy to see you get this opportunity and honored to be your Right Hand. I hope I can repay the work you did for my mother.”

In the crowd Innocence noticed a few sad faces.

“Let’s not dwell on the past and our losses. It’s time to move on. I’m happy to be where I am, here by Lancelot’s side.” Innocence turned to her new boss and said, “Adonna will be here soon with a few cases of champagne. I’ll go get glasses.”

Innocence waved at a few friends and walked back into the HQ.

Adonna wakes up to someone banging loudly on her door. Irritated, she gets up, grabs a robe and goes to the door. A messenger was outside holding a telegram.

What is it? Why are you beating my door down?

The carrier handed her an envelope and disappeared quickly. Good thing too. Adonna hates to be woken up! She reads the message and is instantly awake.

 “PACK YOUR BAGS. LANCELOT REQUESTS YOUR ASSISTANCE IN LOS ANGELES. BRING LOTS OF CHAMPAGNE!”

Adonna gets the operator on the phone and has her locate a liquor store close to the address she was given. She arranges to pick up a few cases of Champagne in a couple hours. She calls a moving company and arranges for her possessions to be sent to Los Angeles. Grabbing a suitcase, she quickly fills it with enough for a couple days. Adonna rushes  to the airport and boards a plane for LA.

Adonna arrives in LA, makes a quick stop by the liquor store to get the champagne, and heads to the address she had been given. She bursts in fashionable late with the driver and her bodyguard carrying the champagne. She sees Innocence and Lancelot on the stairs greeting people and walks up to them.

Sorry for the delay Lancelot. I was out of town. Congratulations! It will be an honor to serve you. I am looking forward to a long and prosperous relationship. Thank you for this opportunity! Innocence, as always, it is great to see you. Let’s break out that champagne!

It is only then that Adonna realizes she has left the men standing around holding the crates.

 

Set those down and start pouring already! She says to them.

Sipping a glass of Champagne and smoking a rather expensive Cigar given to him kindly by Valmont, Lancelot addresses the gathered crowd...

"I would like to thank everyone for their kind words, i have been given a great opportunity and one i shall grasp with both hands, now the hard work really begins the path ahead will not be an easy i am sure but i am lucky enough to have two wonderful ladies by my side, a call went out and they didn't hesitate they came running, it makes me so proud to have them by my side love you both" taking another sip of Champagne Lancelot glances over to where Kurtz was stood "Our families have known each other for quite some time now and they were always their to advise my ancestors about certain aspects of this thing of ours and no doubt i will need your advice at some point in the future, i thank you for all you have done i'll be sure to hit you up my friend if i ever need a wise head" topping up his glass Lancelot raises it once more "Salut".
