JakeLuciano starts to make his way though the crowds, the icy cold air that follows him is instantly apparent, the once dark skies that surrounded the great city of Chicago have lightened, affording him the opportunity to introduce the Czylharz Family to the world. 

A long time ago, in a world far away, there was a man named DimitriCzylharz, he was an immigrant looking for his own American dream. Shortly after arriving at Ellis Island, the streets were soon covered with the blood of so many. He did not hide, he stood tall and in the aftermath he put together his own crew, started to refer to his brothers as his Comrades in Crime. The life we choose is not an easy one, we are forced to make difficult and uncomfortable decisions, these decisions proved to place a great strain on DimitriCzylharz. Rather than letting his grip on his family weaken, he allowed himself to slip into a coma and with his last breath of life he instructed his dear friend CrossDeLena to take over the running of his family. Ahh, CrossDeLena, I am sure for those of you familiar with the writings of your ancestors, you remember his name fondly. 

JakeLuciano pauses for a second and looks up to the skies above. He smiles to himself and looks down at the ground. 

Over the years, the Czylharz Family continued to grow, but as with anything that goes up, ultimately it must go down, and as our world changed dramatically, the Czylharz Family struggled to keep pace and was soon confined to the history books and pages of a certain gazette. 

It has been too long my friends, I am proud to bring back this once great family, and it is with the same principles that our ancestors lived their lives by, principles built on honor, respect, dedication and loyalty. I am thankful to Godfather Cpt-Harris and the great city of Chicago for having the opportunity to bring my beloved Czylharz Family back, and to open its doors.  

And with that JakeLuciano looks once more to the skies and makes his way back into the safe confines of his HQ. 

Tiburon listens carefully as she hears the heritage of her family that she now resides in. A smile creeps across her face as she takes ever principle to heart. After watching her crew leader walk back to his confines she finds a small group still standing and softly begins to speak.

These principles that he speaks of mean a lot to many of us and I'm exceptionally glad that he found me on the streets and took me in. I'm looking forward personally to watching the growth of the city in everyone's presence that now walks the streets of Chicago.

She feels the winds pick up a bit and her grin turns into a smile.

You do have to love the windy city don't you?

Smoking a cigar and playing black he smiled upon hearing the news of his boss going public to the masses...hitting on a 17 he got a 4 and got 21 which was an automatic win.. he puffed the cigar and laughed a bit at his luck

The origin of the family name sounds old.. but I prefer to focus on the future and I thank you for allowing me in your home and lets build this up great and do big things like I know you can do, especially with the great people you have in your family.

See you in the HQ boss, time for me to get a drink and find a lady for fun..or two.

Outkast turns the corner just in time to see the crowd before his Boss and hear the words spoken. Being one to stay out of the streets due to his brash and straight-forward speaking, Outkast just nods his head, lights a joint, and fades to the back of the crowd.

'Fuck it...' he says quietly as he makes his way to the front.

'Remember this day. The day Czylharz was announced to the world. Some will love it. Some will hate it. But the only thing that really matters is JakeLuciano is a good man, and we have an outstanding family. I am thrilled by the opportunity myself and the Czylharz Family members have to make our mark in this thing we do.'

Outkast tips his fedora at several people he recognized and fades back away into the crowd.

I've been in your crew for more than two weeks, and I can say with great pride that this is going to be a magnificent crew. The sheer will of you and the structure you've built in this HQ pushes us to succeed. With a chilled and loyal heart, I congratulate you and am thoroughly excited about continuing our work in the Suburbs.

When I'm led by a man of few words it becomes a bit of a necessity to establish what kind of a man JakeLuciano is. I met him in a coffeeshop after sending him a letter concerning my interest in joining his, then-new, organization. I was brought on as one of almost forty from my generation, and haven't looked back. At first, I joined because I didn't know any of the new auths, and Jake was a friend of my father's crewleader, SpikeSpiegel. But I soon grew to know just how great of a decision joining him was.

Jake isn't lying when he says this crew is built on honor, respect, dedication and loyalty. Honor in the form of an utmost commitment to crew rules and the preservation and progression of the crew itself. Respect in the form of how he and his crew interact with each other and the rest of the nation. Dedication in the form of how hard he and each of his members have worked since he built his HQ. Loyalty in the form of the mutual support for his members and his members for him.

JakeLuciano: you are a great man, and I'm proud to be a part of your crew.

Doc suddenly appears from the crowd that has gathered to hear Jake speak holding a bottle of champagne. He motions to a man in a white tuxedo nearby and suddenly a wave of waiters with trays full of champagne glasses make their way through the crowd.

My dear friend Jake, it is a great honor to be standing here with you today as you announce your crew to the world. I am happy to be working with a group that holds old school ideals dearly. This new world we have been thrust into could use some old school class and behavior. I look forward to helping any way possible. We will start it off here.

Doc holds up his glass full of champagne...

Here's to new beginnings of old ways and to Czylharz. Cheers.

Doc empties the glass in record time.

Now I'm off to find a poker game. You know how to find me if you need me.

Skips around passing out pinwheels and hard candies

La la la

Stops and starts flipping through a dirty magazine

Oh, right... I'm outside..... Uh.... Oh well, looks like it happened again.... My father did it... not so long ago... and that uh didn't last, but hopefully this time around Czylharz lasts "ad sidera." Etc etc. As it has over all the generations it has lased so far... etc etc. Woo Jake. Yay.

Where are the midgets and oil? 

Prometheus approached the crowd of people and listened to his crew leader speak of our family and what we stood for.

I have been honored to work alongside of you since the creation of this family and I hope that we will continue to be able to work together as a family! You took me in after a great war ravaged this land and provided me a sanctuary where I was able to improve my skills and meet some great people. I am eternally grateful for all that you have done for me so far, and hope I am able to continue to serve with honor.

First time my ancestors path crossed with Czylharz was as early as 2004, shortly after the birth of Czylharz.

Unfortunately the timing was always wrong for us to work together. But the reputation of the skills and dedication shown by Czylharz leadership and its members, reached beyond their wall and one always held the outmost respect for Czylharz, even during wartimes when we were on opposite sides.

Now that I have had the privilige and honour to be able to work alongisde this fine gentleman and his crew, I'd like to raise my glass in your honour sir and congratulate you on a well deserved position within our society and I'm looking forward to help Czylharz maintain its good reputation.

I have read stories of Czylharz and their bloodlines many times. My relatives were never with Cross but did serve in other resurrections of the family name in the past. All the stories told of great memories, fun times and groups of men and women who stood by each other through thick and thin. I am excited to continue to serve Jake and this new version of Czylharz, the fun and comradery has already started and I am sure will continue and grew with time.

Out of the dark, cold alleys behind the crowd emerges another czylhardian attracted by the inspiring speech.

It brings me joy to think that the knowledge which transpired from the years of hard work of our forefathers will be put to great use. The context could not be greater for our name to rise up and be acknowledged once more.

Now, back to the midget hunt… We need to restock these headquarters!
