Taupe being the hands off type of Right Hand Man that he was well known for, was stretched out in his chair with a gentle hum of a snore escaping his mouth, when he was abruptly awakened by one of Drieza’s beady eyed looking minions barging through his door. Gun in hand, the minion lets out a feeble scream, starts shooting randomly in the air and leaves the room as quickly as he entered it.

Shouting for the person to leave in a manly voice, conveniently after the minion had already left and was out of earshot, Taupe got up from the ground, dusted off his trousers, and peered his head around the corner. Met with more bullets randomly being shot into the air and people screaming, Taupe athletically runs down the hall and does a belly flop into Drieza’s open room.

“What the fuck is going on, Boss?” screamed Taupe as he wiped the sweat off his brow.

Looking toward the back of the office, Taupe could see his dishevelled, sweaty looking boss peaking through the corner of his blinds, empty bullet cartridges littered on the floor all around him, aiming and clicking his now empty gun at random people passing by. Bewildered at what is currently happening to Drieza and his lesser known, unnamed associates, Taupe's gaze ends up at Drieza’s desk. Pushing some paperwork to the side, Taupe notices a scrumpled up Doctors note.

“Drieza Induced Mass Hysteria? Boss, you’re famous!” Taupe chuckled for a second before looking back up at Drieza walking back to his desk and realizing what was now taking place with all the shooting and general hysteria.

“Boss, I really think you should get this checked out more seriously.” stated Taupe with a rarely seen serious look on his face.

“Oh this? This is the name of the newly formed Queens Family I want you to head up for me. My secretary has the address and keys for you.”

With an incredulous look on his face, Taupe looks at the piece of paper clearly titled Doctor’s Note, looks back up at Drieza, looks back at the paper once more to slowly read Doctor’s note and looks back up.

“Boss, I know you’re quick to temper, like to shoot anything that moves, hell, even shoot an innocent family member too, but I really have to disagree with you on this. This note clearly indicates that you, and by the looks of it, others are suffering from…” Taupe is abruptly cut off by Drieza slamming his gun down on the desk.

“Thaaaaaaat isssss the naaaaammmeee of the newly formed Queens Family raaaaaaan byyyyy Taupe” Drieza now elongating his words as he reaches for an unopened box of bullets in his desk drawer.

“Okay, I got you boss! Drieza Induced Mass Hysteria! Hey, it could be DIMH for short haha!” Knowing when to just shut up and take the loss, and his life still intact, Taupe runs out of the office, down the bullet ridden hallway and manages to escape down the stairway. Brushing past the secretary and collecting the address tagged keys, Taupe heads out the doorway, lucky to still be alive.

Looking up at the building, Taupe can see the panic ridden face of Griffin pressed up against a window pane. A split second later, Drieza gun in hand, shouts out his now broken window, “Taaaauuuuppeeeeee, did you know we are still living in the 1920s?!”

Taupe knew this was the moment to leave, and quickly turned the corner whilst faintly hearing Griffin screaming “Take me with you Taaauuuupppeeeee!”

“Nope.”

Elkmilk had been waiting for this moment his entire life.

Taupe was his on again off again nemesis and best friend. There was no way he'd be leaving without him. He'd packed his things earlier today and made the short drive over 

He made sure he was ready and waiting in the new HQ before Taupe even arrived, ready to christen Taupe's office toilet in the way that only best friends who were lactose intolerant and ran their own milking business could.

"I'M COMING WITH YOU TAUPE. I'M READY TO BLOW".
