The asphalt of the Interstate was the only father Detour ever truly knew. They called him that because he never took a straight path to a dollar, preferring the scenic, highly illegal routes that baffled the feds. For twenty years, he was a ghost in the cargo lanes, hijacking shipments and rerouting supply lines until he owned every backroad from coast to coast. But a man cannot rule a kingdom from the sleeper cab of a Peterbilt forever. To take the city, Detour needed respect, loyalty, and a name that carried weight. He found it in his friends in this thing of his. They were young, hungry, and tired of scraping by on the crumbs left behind by the old-money syndicates. Under a flickering neon sign at a truck stop outside Chicago, they cut their thumbs, mingled their blood over a map of the city’s shipping ports, and christened themselves the Luparara Bianca Brugad Family. The established families laughed at the young yet still fierce upstarts. They didn’t understand that Detour wasn't trying to control the traditional rackets of gambling and numbers. He went after the arteries of the city. Within six months, the Brugad Family controlled the cold-storage warehouses, the fuel terminals, and the freight yards. If you wanted to eat, build, or stay warm in the city, you paid a toll to the Brugad family.. By summer, every major distributor in the state had a new contract on their desk, stamped with the Brugad crest. The old guard had the legacy, but Detour had the supply lines. And in the modern underworld, the man who controls the movement of goods controls the throne. Respect is everything to this family. If given it is earned, and if earned, given. That's all we really have anyway. Maybe they can go far in this thing with respect. Maybe someone will decide they WON'T respect them. Either way, Old City District has a new kid on the block. Young and eager they are here to stay. Taught by a GFC, their leader Detour might be new, but he has an idea in mind. An idea that all districts, all cities, all states can make money and earn. Or die trying... |

Prepotente walked by Detour's speech while he slurped from a soda pop. He eagerly nodded to the man's announcement and gave a small 'galarble' as only a goat should. Then he screamed. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH." He coughed into his hand. "My mother would have been quite proud of this, I think. She would've called you her very special boy. But that's my title and you can't have it." The goat slurped loudly from his cup, then showed it to Detour. "This one is called Big Red. It's from Texas. That's where cowboys come from." |
