After thanking Paul_Klint profusely and having a drink with the Borgata family members, Katherine climbed the sweeping stairs to her rooms to begin packing. Her mind was jumping with the many things she needed to remember to get done, thoughts of leaving her family and starting her own, her gratitude towards the people who had helped her on the way to this day. Finally with everything packed and sent out but for one precious cabinet, Katherine sat down and with a whiskey and a smoke to organize her plans for her new HQ and decide on who she wanted for RHM. Paul_Klint had been generous and offered her the chance to take a Borgata family member with her to fill that position. This had to be a good decision, made with an eye towards their qualities and integrity. She smiled after thinking about several names and realizing there was one who stood far above in terms of having all ready had her back many times over. Scribbling a note, she called to a courier and tipped him to get it to -Capino- very quickly. Packing up the last cupboard, full of memorabilia of her ancestors in this world, Katherine silently promised to do each one proud. Kissing her Mother's portrait and carefully wrapping it for the trunk, she then turned to the last item that she had left out deliberately. Her great three times over grandmother's diary. Out of all of the diaries, Katherine had felt this one seemed to be written by someone so like her in personality and beliefs, it was amazing that she had been alive so many generations ago. Katherine lovingly traced her ancestor's name engraved on the outside. "Poison" she whispered, "My family will be named in honor of you and I hope you can somehow, from wherever you are, see this day." Leaving the Borgata HQ with one more lingering look, Katherine and everyone helping her, transported her belongings to the spacious new HQ awaiting her. The building was bustling with caterers for the evening celebration and other staff making sure all rooms were well furnished and meeting Paul_Klint's specifications. Katherine spoke to her men as to what was to go to her living quarters and what was to go to her office. Later that evening, surrounded by NYC members and some representatives from other cities, Katherine pulled -Capino- onto the slightly raised band stage at the end of the ballroom and lifted her glass in the air towards Paul_Klint and LadyFighter. "It is a pleasure and a huge honor to have had the privilege of working in NYC, a city you two have been part of since the beginning and which is to be admired for its community spirit between districts. Thank you both but of course especially Paul_Klint for the faith you are showing me this day. AlabamaWorley, I look forward to getting to knoe you better and working with you as well. With -Capino- at my side, I will do my utmost to uphold that faith and help keep The Big Apple on its even path to more and more success. Ladies and gentlemen, I welcome you all to La Casa di Veleno. Salut!" |

Picking up his champagne glass as he raises it proudly in the air, Paul smiles at all the familiar faces gathered before him and nods happily. "Salut!" He downs the champagne in a single gulp before setting it back to the table and approaching Katherine from the crowd. "Katherine you have been nothing but the best in your time here in The Borgata. Your professionalism and insight into everything has been a great asset for the entire crew and I for one can speak honestly when I say you will be missed as you continue your already stellar career here in New York. It's been an honor getting to know you having been given the opportunity to watch you grow in this thing of ours. While there will be a part of me that misses seeing you in the family, I know it will be for the best for all of New York with you at the helm, building your own family with your abundant talents. Congratulation my dear, I know you will make us all proud." Paul reaches over and firmly shakes Katherine's hand as he smiles once again to everyone present. |

Receiving Katherine's note, -Capino- tipped the courier and opened it. As he read, his eyes opened wide in surprise and he started grinning. Realizing the time, he quickly showered, shaved and changed. His mind was racing the whole time about his and Katherine's new future together as a team and how honored he was to be chosen by her with Paul_Klint's approval.
Giving his men instructions to pack and move his belongings, he rushed out the door, eager to get to the event.
Upon arriving, he stood stunned for a moment seeing the number of people there, including many he did not know but knew of from different cities. Smiling and standing tall next to Katherine on stage while she spoke, he looked and smiled at the Borgata family members, a great bunch to work with and he would miss their jokes and parties at the end of the day. A good team and he had learned much, particularly from their leader and Katherine. As Katherine finished speaking and then Paul_Klint, he silently raised his glass in toast to the both of them. After the speeches, he shook Paul_Klint's hand and left the stage to say good-bye to his now previous family members and introduce himself to the New York City men and women who held the RH and LH seats. |

Ronan lifted his glass in the air to salute Katherine. He had only been working with the Borgata a short while before she was auth'd to go out on her own, but from seeing her around the HQ he could tell she just oozed leadership. She was a respectable woman, well capable of handling herself and from his own experiences, a great all round gal. Congratulations, Katherine! It's been a pleasure working with you in the Borgata, even if it was only short lived. Do us proud now, ya hear? He lowers his glass and downs the contents before mingling back in with the crowd to continue with the celebrations. |

Ladyfighter received an invitation to be at the authing celebration of Katherine in Staten Island. She dressed herself in her most beautiful red dress and put on some make up and called Dakine to company her. Ladyfighter looks at her watch and urges Dakine to get into the car again and drive on. "We are coming late man, we need to hurry". Dakine speeded the car and luckily without accidents they arrived in Staten Island just in tme to take a toast on Katherine. "Good luck Katherine, I am sure you will help Paul_Klint in getting Staten Island florish like before. I am looking forward to that." Ladyfighter walks on to Paul_Klint and raises her glass. "Congratulations on your district expand. I am so positive Katherine will make you proud". That said, Ladyfighter starts talking to the other guests and enjoys her evening. |

Alcatraz made it a little late to the party. He enters the ballroom, knocking down a couple of chairs and a tray in the process. He did love to make a grand entrance. He spots Katherine surrounded by a group of New Yorkers, most of them which he recognized. A few hellos and a couple of handshakes later, he pulls Katherine away from the rest of the crowd and hands her a glass of wine. "I would have proposed a toast, but at a party of this magnitude, someone must have already done it." He takes a sip from his glass, and beams at her. "So... I'm glad to see you here, getting your own crew. If I could point to one person capable of doing justice to this responsibility, that would be you." He hugs her tightly, for a bit too long. He realizes that and withdraws his arms quickly, but she didn't seem to mind. "I certainly will miss you around the HQ, Kat." |

Zmeika is standing in the middle of the very crowded ballroom, happily chatting with those around her and enjoys raising her glass the moment anyone yells out a toast. She is impressed by the turnout at the paty, and is glad to come out in support of a fellow New Yorker. Zmeika notices that Katherine is has managed to get away from the crowd for a moment and is getting a drink from the bar. Zmeika beelines it to Katherine and says, "Whew, it's quite the effort to get a chance to talk to the lady of the hour, so I won't take up too much of your time. I just wanted to take the opportunity to say, congratulations Katherine. I look forward to working with you and your family. May you continue to grow and make New York more prosperous. Best of luck, and you have my contact info if you are ever in need of anything!" Zmeika leans in to give Katherine a quick hug, as she sees someone else waiting to speak to the newly made crew leader. |
