Hell butterfly is sat outside The Rodents HQ watching the day go by as Clay Lucian approaches her

Where is he?

Kisuke? Hell_Butterfly asks.

Yeah, hes late we need to get to the cemetory already Clay shakes his head in disapproval.

He is probably still asleep knowing that lazy bastard either that or drinking sake...

Hell_Butterfly stands up visualy annoyed at the fact Kisuke is running late yet again opening the door to the rodent headquaters she goes up stairs and walks past Max's office the door still open from the night before when he left the office to head home. she gets to the next door Kisukes office.

HEY KISUKE! We need to leave we need to Vacate the building the contractors are coming to renovate apparently some buying just bought the place and we need to get to the cemetory for Max's funeral.

Kisuke opens the door dressed in his green shirt and black jacket Its that time already? Time always moves far too fast.

Give me a few moments.

Hell_Butterfly nods her head gently and walks down the hall to wait for Kisuke outside. Kisuke hangs his head and sighs a loud sigh and puts his woodern sandles on and walks into Max's office and goes into the top draw of his desk and pulls out Max's Colt .45 and put inside his jacket

No matter how much I talked Max into it he always preferred his gun to an old fashioned sword alot more silent but oh well he will not need it anymore, anyone else to use it just wouldnt be right it has to go with him.

Kisuke walked down the stairs, went to the coat rack and took his hat, placing it tightly onto his head. Then grabbed his walking stick to head out the door. Clay and Butterfly were standing at the car waiting for Kisuke to finally get there.

Well guys thats it Kisuke exclaims Lets put the old man to rest.

After a short trip down the road they pull up at a cemetery. Already, a number of the other rodents and crew leaders from across the other citys were there to pay their respects for a friend or colleague.

Valmont Approached Kisuke

Kisuke when this is done we need to talk, meet me after?

Of course I have nowhere else I need to be want to meet up at the bar down the road from your Headquarter?

Valmont nods and walks back to the gathering crowd, Kisuke close behind him.

After a short service, Kisuke opened the casket and pulled out the piece he had gotten out of Max's desk and placed it inside the casket, quickly closing it to remain unnoticed. You are at peace now my friend Rest in peace. After a short walk, he stood outside the bar to talk to Valmont. As he entered he looked around and found the bar was relitivly empty

Don Valmont, Sorry for my late arrival, I needed a bit of time to clear my head of the goings on over the last 24 hours.

Its fine dont worry about it, I wanted to have a quick work with you. How would you feel taking over The Rodents since Max is dead?

A little shocked Kisuke nods his head, agreeing to the task set before him. After a few moments of chat, Kisuke and Valmont stand up, shake hands and Valmont passes Kisuke an Envelope, Valmont told him that he was the one who purchased the Headquaters as soon as Max had died before any other takers could have taken it, apparently it was prime real estate and a few business men were trying to get a hold of it.

Kisuke rounded up a number of past rodents and took them outside the rodent headquaters where it looked as if Valmont had already began speaking about his appointment as his captain. he waits till he has finished and walks up to the steps of his new HQ and turns to face the crowd

Ladies, gentlemen and rodents of all ages. I'm honoured that you all have taken some time out of your busy days to share this time with me. Its not been long, over a month since these streets we walk saw one of the biggest wars our country has seen for a long time, alot of people died.

This time it was just as bloody. Max was my Fathers Left hand man when he was alive and was a great successor to everything he strived for. a fitting leader to the rodents. He did a great job and I'm sure my father would have thought Max did a better job than my father. I plan to try to follow in both of their teachings and work towards getting The Rodents to where they once were under these two great men.

I'm sorry to have to rush off now however i have alot of business to deal with over the next few days arranging some work to be done as these bullet holes in the HQ are not my style.

Kisuke Bows his head and smiles to the crowd and heads into his head quaters to start the long process of getting his crew off its feet.

Clay fills his glass with sake and raises it to Kisuke.

"My father worked with your father, and his father with your grandfather. Our bloodline has stood by each other and brothers we became. Congratulations to you old friend and long live the RODENTS!"

"Kampai!"

Clay drinks his sake in honor of Kisuke.
