It was a rainy day in Detroit, one might even call it a torrential downpour, Louis-Manciagli was running his usual errands, collecting from bookies, and local clubs that he was leaning on. He heard a faint voice behind him as he was getting into his car. "Louis! Hun! Cloud wants to talk to you, he said it's important!" It was none other than DiamonDz. She was Clouds Left Hand and close friend of the Manciagli family. In fact she was his father Louis-Man's Right Hand, and close personal friend to Louis-Manciagli. They left right away, speeding through each intersection, not even thinking about stopping.

Arriving at Clouds Downtown headquarters they are greeted by Cloud, clutch and ReignMan. "Have a seat Louis we have something important to discuss and it's imperative that you listen closely." Cloud continues with a much more somber tone. "After the death of your father Downtown was shaken to it's very core. But with your help a long with so many others here, we have moved forward with our heads held high." Smiles and places his hand on Louis' shoulder. "You have worked your ass off for me, and I am going to give you the opportunity your father once gave me. I want you to have your own crew, and help Downtown continue to grow and prosper."

Cloud walks out onto his balcony overlooking the streets. "Ladies and gentleman, as acting Godfather of Downtown Detroit. I give full authorization for Louis-Manciagli to set up his own headquarters here in downtown."

Smiles and nods to Louis-Manciagli as he yells. "Drinks are on me tonight!!"

YourNextWife happened to be walking by when she heard a familiar voice yelling something about free drinks. She immediately knew it was her leader Cloud and went inside the headquarters and rang for the elevetor. What felt like a year later, the elevator finally dinged and opened. She steps inside and presses the button to go up to Cloud's office. She impatiently taps her toe as the elevator slowly creeps up and finally opens. She steps out and declares "Where's my drink? I heard promise of free drinks!" Cloud smiles at her and hands her a glass of the best whiskey in town. She takes a drink and says "So what's the occasion? Cloud doesn't give out free drinks for nothing." Louis-Manciagli smiles and tells her that he has authorization to start set up a new headquarters here in Downtown. YourNextWife high fives Louis and proposes a toast with Cloud, Louie, DiamonDz. "Here's to a bright.... rainy future!" YourNextWife giggles at her lame joke.

Congrats Louis-Manciagli on this honor.

Your father had done well to bring life to the shores of Downtown, I hope to see the same kinda work ethic and progress from your end. No doubt your the man for the job. I wish you the best as you move forward with this endeavor. 

Congratulations to you Sir! Acting GodFather! Cloud. Under your leadership Downtown is continuing to grow out of the late tragic war. This is definitely a step in the right direction. I wish you the best my friend.

It has been a normal trip to Detroit for Curtis. The town was on an upswing and there were many opportunities to be had in the emergent businesses. As he was engaged in a meeting a runner came in to tell the local mobster about Louis being given the nod. He couldn't pass up the opportunity to go and say hello so he finished up his meeting and headed over to Cloud's Headquarters. Arriving he encountered some type of royal wedding reenactment on the balcony above him. He looked up and saw his friend waving to the gathering. Curtis called up.

"Well well! Mr Louis-Manciagli! I must say I could have foreseen this appointment but I didn't expect to see you here so soon. It does make perfect sense for Cloud to make this move and I am very happy to see your line get this chance again. I'm sure you'll be a healthy addition to this district and bring a healthy vibrancy to the creative rebuilding process in the city. All the very best to you my friend!"

He took the very expensive bottle of French Brandy he'd bought as a gift and tossed it up to Louis on the balcony. Thankfully he caught it and avoided several thousand dollars worth of precious French juice being spilled. Ahem. 

SamUnderwood was standing outside of the HQ, and he saw Cloud walking out towards the balcony.  He listens closely to what he had to say.  Louis is getting his own HQ.  

"Congratulations Mr. Louis.  I have heard many great things about you and about your father.  I can't wait to see what you and your family will be doing."

He heard free drinks and goes back into the HQ to grab a glass of whiskey on the rocks. 

DiamonDz walked onto the streets, happy to see what she was seeing. As cloud stated, she was very fond of the this strong family and knew that is was the best move for the whole of Detroit. She was glad that someone wanted to step up and help move this family forward, and who else was better then Mr Manciagli.

I would like that thank the both of yours and also congratulate you's on this occasion.

She decided to head to Kari's bar to celebrate and so she went into her car that her driver was waiting in and went about her business.
