It was one of those rare evenings where it seemed that most of the family members from Brooklyn were enjoying a social gathering at an elite bar. Even Amethyst and DanTheMan were able to just sit back and enjoy their time. Amethyst walked over to join Dan at the bar whilst signaling to the bartender to top up Dan’s milkshake. This made Dan grin from ear to ear. For a while they both sat there just watching over their people, observing them enjoying themselves. They had some very colourful ones in rainbow striped suits in one corner chatting away with one cuddling his bear, and then you had the not so colourful ones playing darts. Then you had the odd one by the name of Jericho zooming in and out of the bar on his unicycle wearing his massive sombrero as he drank his pint of beer. How he never spilt a drop of beer as he did this no one knows. This man is like the Speedy Gonzales of the criminal world.

Amethyst turned to speak to Dan and mentioned how the day of their plans was about to approach but before then they were in need of a new headquarters. “Does Jericho know yet?” inquired Dan. “He knows something is going to happen soon and that he will be the new lead.. he just don’t know when” Amethyst replied. “Perfect.. lets have some fun here and clown around with him” Dan said with a giggle. They sat talking more before their minds were set on what they would do. Amethyst then stood up and went to make her way home.

The next morning at home, the family began to wake up one by one. As usual the day often begun within the big kitchen of the house where everyone was getting coffee. All would greet each other and talk of their plans for the day when all of the sudden Jericho came running in. “I can’t find it!!” he shouted in a rage making everyone stop nattering to look at him “Can’t find what?” asked SisterMary in her usual sweet way. “My precious has gone.. it’s been stolen!” he replied. The family looked at one another confused for the place is heavily secured when Hotice piped up “Who the hell is Precious and why have I never met her before!?” making Jericho stop pacing for a moment to say “I mean my unicycle.. It’s gone” as he tried to hold back a tear. “How could anyone just waltz into the grounds and take a unicycle.. more to the point why?” SisterMary said as she offered to pray for it.

A few moments later SMASH a brick came flying through the kitchen window with a note and picture tied to it landing just by Amethyst feet. She picked it up and read the note out loud. “If you wish to see your unicycle again, you better come and get it before it suffers a big puncture!”. Amethyst looked at the picture and tried to tell Jericho he is best not to look but he snatched it from her hand anyway. The man broke down to his knees as he saw how his precious unicycle was being threatened by a masked man on it in very bright clothing about to ride it over a path of tacs. By now Jericho was breaking out into a sweat when he snapped “Did they leave a freaking address in that damn note?” “Yes they did” Amethyst said calmly before asking the family to go on with their day. “We’ll go sort this out just as soon as I’ve got on my lipstick Jericho”. Jericho looked confused and couldn’t seem to understand his boss today. “You don't normally bother with it” he said. Amethyst smiled as she told him “Its bound to be a clown with a watergun who has taken your unicycle.. thought I’d show him how lipstick should look” Jericho just looked at her.. tapping his feet whilst looking at the door.

“Alright lets go.. I’ll drive” said Amethyst. They got into the car and off they sped towards where they needed to go in Brooklyn. They finally arrived at yet another grand looking house to find that DanTheMan was standing outside. Jericho was confused; he didn’t recall Amethyst making any calls to him over the thief at all, which made him think perhaps he too has been broken into. “Has someone targeted your belongings too, Dan?” he asked with concern. “Nope. All well with me mate” he said. Jericho looked over to the door to see what appears to be his unicycle taped up to it. He runs over to get it unstuck from the door to check it over “Oh thank god you are okay!” he said angrily.“Just who did this and why?” said Jericho “Dunno, why don’t you go look inside and see.. but be careful” Said Dan. Jericho opened the door when all of the sudden there was a loud BANG! followed by several more.

The noises made him jump and he almost ran for his life before he noticed it was a big crowd of people pulling party poppers. The lights went on and every member of the families in Brooklyn were there shouting “Surprise” at him. He noticed the banner saying congratulations and a lot of balloons. He also noticed a ton of food and booze laid out on lavish tables.

Amethyst walked up to him along with Dan giggling. “We’re sorry for pulling one over you .. as if we would ever harm your precious unicycle!”Dan said as he threw the keys to her hq gates at Amethyst. The penny finally dropped when he noticed Dan was in the clothing of the ‘masked’ man in the photo. He could see the funny side and jokingly said “Don’t ever touch my precious again for she is mine!”

Champagne got handed out to everyone ready for Amethyst to make a speech. “Jericho you have been with me ever since we started our family. Not only have you worked exceptionally hard for me but you have become an asset for Brooklyn as a whole. You know the plans that are up and coming for our families of Brooklyn.” Amethyst took a moment and asked everyone to raise their glasses before continuing,“Congratulations Jericho in your promotion of becoming a crew leader and in effect soon my captain. Also, congratulations to HotIce, who will step up to be your Right Hand Lady”

Everyone applauded and one by one congratulated him before Amethyst and Dan went back over to them to say they will be on the way to go announce the news to the public for a little bit but he is to enjoy his party and settling in his new home. “Oh, one more thing Jericho” Amethyst said. “Whats that?” he asked, as Amethyst leaned to give him a massive kiss on the forehead .. “Again - massive congrats from me!” As she went to go, Jericho shouted “So thats why you wore lipstick today then?” making Amethyst grin as she said “I have no idea what you mean.”

Amethyst and Dan then headed to the streets to make their announcement. "As of today, there will be a new family in Brooklyn led by Jericho. His family will be called No Walls”.

SURPRISE!!!!!!
