Noble looks up at the sky and takes a deep breath of fresh air. The wind breezes filled Nobles senses of freedom. He kept walking the street of Americas most gangster neighborhood, the smell of Italian food and cigar sunk deep in his stomach. Mobsters were seen out while he strolled down.  Noble tried to not make eye contact, he knew these men and women were killers. Noble tipped his fedora hat downward to avoid the contact and kept strolling down. As Noble kept making his was down he noticed an old lady getting her purse snatched and the thug went off laughing while he ran. The lady fell to her knees, immediately a stream of tears fell to her cheeks. "No!!" She screamed, as she started pounding the cement floor. Her knuckles started to tear and blood flowed down her hand. Noble stood in shock as he went over to help the old lady. 

"Are you okay ma'am?" Noble said in a gentle coaxing voice.

"That thug took everything" The lady responded in a cold whisper

"Let me help you up ma'am" Noble told the old lady

Noble helped the old lady to her feet and dusted her shoulders off, he than took his white handkerchief from his font suit pocket and wiped her hands

"Thank you young man, only if we could have more people like you in this world. Instead we have these hoodlums stealing, they took everything my from my $300 in cash to my personal items. I had my favorite picture of my husband in I before he died, now its gone forever!" The old lady sobbed.

 "Listen, you are still alive ma'am. I have seen and done things in this life that is unforgiving but the reasons for it is survival. It could always be worse and death is our final most painful form of punishment.  You are not dead, he could have not took a chance for witnesses so please consider yourself lucky I know its a hard situation" Noble explained

Noble reached in his wallet and grabbed 5 hundred dollar bills he then gave it to the old lady

"Here ma'am, we could always replace money but we can't replace another you. Please try to have a good day" Noble said

The old ladys face brightened up and glowed like the sun and as she teared up a little bit she gained control and shook it off and then just replied

"Thank you.. honestly thank you sir." The old lady said 

Noble just smiled and tipped his hat and knew he had done what he could then he kept walking

"Damn" Noble muttered under his breath while he kept walking down the street of Americas most gangster neighborhood.

Nobles kept walking and realized he was hungry so he went to the nearest fruit market where immigrants were selling high quality fruit

"I'll take three oranges please" Noble said to the immigrant worker

As Noble went for the oranges he heard strange laughter and noticed an odd scene taking place.. This caught his attention and he paid the worker as fast as he could so he wouldn't miss what was going on. Noble approached the source of the strange laughter and odd scene. It was a bunch of mobsters in a circle telling stories. In a loud voice they were yelling in the streets on what was going on, it was really confusing. They said that they were doing drug dealings and they were acting it out. They were like actors doing free entertainment for a movie.. It was weird but Noble thought it could be that they are practicing for a job in the movie business or that they were heavy on drugs.

"Humans are interesting" Noble thought to himself

He shrugged what was going on in the streets and just kept walking. A pickpocket went right behind one of these killer mobsters and got the wallet right from him. How crazy he thought, a killer being robbed... The balls of some people in this world. He could not believe the amount of crime going on. He shook his head but kept walking, he then heard from a distance a car radio. The radio station was on a news channel and reports of a jail break were currently being developed. 

"Holy shit" Noble thought

Something instantly caught Nobles peripheral vision. A dark ally had two figures, one was a shadow of a person standing tall, the other seemed to be of a person with his hands up. he also was on his knees. Than in a quick flash the person standing pulled a pistol from his suit and shot the person on his knees in the face. The flash brightened the dark ally, and than the person walked out into the light and took a sharp turn left onto the crowd of the people in the street and was lost in the sea of people. Noble caught a look at the killers face and the image was stitched deep in his memory. Noble than walked to the dark ally where the man had a bullet hole in his face. A small hole with blood streamed down his fore head, but as Noble kept seeing what happened he noticed the back of his head had his brain blown out and skull fragment was everywhere. Noble almost threw up at the sight and then a nasty stench made its way to Nobles nostrils. The dead guy had shit himself before death. Noble then decided to get the fuck out of there. 

"What the fuck is wrong with this place, I came for the American dream what is this" Noble thought to himself as he left the area

As Noble made his way back to the market he noticed again people standing in a circle and what looked like they were role playing a drug deal. He shook his head and wondered weirdos but then something caught his eye that made him cringe. He saw one of the people in the circle was the killer from the ally, and next to him was the guy that stole the ladies purse

"Holy fuck" Noble thought

The killer and the thief kept role playing a drug deal, they shaped their hands like a gun and yelled pew pew at each other and how they got shot while they were perfectly fine. 

"No way the guy that stole the purse from earlier and the killer I just saw know each other and they are out in the open like they wont get caught" Noble thought to himself

Nobles teeth clamped as he remembered the pain the purse snatcher brought to the old lady and the fact even worse how there was a killer in there.  Noble wanted to just go and beat the life out of these guys, it made him sick how criminals like these show no shame and they go out into public and react these crimes.

"Your all going to die!!"

Noble took for cover by the nearest wall as a man started yelling in the streets. The man had a nice suit on, he seemed like a Godfather. As Noble looked closely he saw a familiar face and realized it was his own Godfather Curtis. Noble then listened as the Godfather gave an important speech. Noble noticed how Curtis talked freely as policemen surrounded the place. The police seemed paid off by him. 

"God that scared me I thought we finally had war" Noble thought to himself

As the Godfather left the street and the people started to go home, he realized to himself how much of an impact being out on these streets made. Noble knew Godfather Curtis has killed people, but it did not bother him. He realized the reason why is because the Godfather was giving out an important speech and thus needed to be out in public. But he knew Curtis was not a celebrity type mobster. He was a straight killer and strict business in his opinion, he seemed like a family man who would not want to talk about work over the table especially with non family members. 

"I need to do something about this" Noble thought to himself

Noble cleared his throat and called on some of the mobsters nearby, he knew they recognized him considering he was part of a New York family

"Hey there mobsters, I have noticed the recent spike in activity in the street I am currently standing on. Do you guys understand what kind of life we are living? We should do what we can to do what is best for us not just what we want. Those that abuse this main principle usually ends up sleeping with the fishes. I have gotten to understand that some people in our community come out here and act out crimes. Some of these people send fliers out explaining how they will have their acting meetings on the street. I can't believe that if you have nothing important to say to our community you think yall can be out here in the streets in masses like this. Don't you guys know were gangsters! Were killers and nobody wants to see our stupid faces!! We rule the dark allies and streets and nightclubs. Real G's move in silence like lasagna, with that being said we are out here in the open!! Unless something is of utter importance we should not be out here. Nobody should be talking unless it is meaningful and it needs to be said. We are criminals and that means we have victims.. By being out here for no reason and to just here yourself talk brings pain to some of these victims. The pain is from rubbing in their face your freedom and not being in prison." Noble addressed the audience

Noble looked at the sharp shooters on the fire escapes of the buildings he then looks at the crows and starts talking again

"Like I said nobody wants to see your face unless it is important, and that is how these streets should be. Now I think I might know why you guys are doing these acting meetings. Bored, it is simple."

Noble looks up at the sun and warmth seeps into his body he smiled again and looked at the audience

"We are warriors, we live in a warrior universe like it or not. Nobody can escape death that is fact. Now I have noticed language is being cut down, 20 years ago combat troops used words like shell shock to describe going nuts. Now they call it battle fatigue, I can't imagine what that shock in war will be called in the future, its like people are covering up reality by things that comfort them"

Noble pauses then continues

"With that being said, this life of ours is for one thing and one thing only. Total domination. We are all Kings and Queens to rule with an iron fist. In reality those who are not part of your family is your enemy simple as that. You cannot have two Godfathers and expect smiles and roses. It is nothing but a matter of waiting for the other person to slip. But fuck that why not speed it up? Take over your enemies, make them under your rule. The point of this will mean that no "Ally" can shoot you in the back, and the irony of this is that the only way you can fall is from within your own family. But you already have experience in not trusting so thats an advantage. On the flip side of that coin the underdog will always try to take you out to become Godfather. That is what makes this life of ours so fun! The action and adventure, the power. Let's not forget our lovely women but I believe they are more dangerous than a shotgun so watch out. I do not see how people can allow other Godfathers to be running around, does this not take away the point of being a godfather? A godfather should always rule as a "god" "father" figure. Have Dons underneath you and everything below."

Noble looked at the eyes of each listener then talked one last time

"I believe we are forgetting what this life of ours really means. I believe we are forming a new culture and that this new culture is straight up boring and what people at war call campers. I call upon a discussion from the mafia community on the topic of how this life of ours should be. Should total domination be the goal, if we all agreed this was the goal from the start would it not make it more fun and exciting. People die anyways but not it would not be from camping waiting on mistakes and it would defiantly fix the problem of our acting mobsters over here. Please I would like to hear yalls input on how things are being ran."

Noble lights a blunt then exhales as he waits for the replies

Britney is once again wondering the streets when she hears a guys speaking, he seemed to be in utter shock at the moment and this is what caught Britney's attention. She stood slightly off in the distance just in case this guy was talking to himself and didn't want anyone listening. It only took a matter of a moment for her to realize that he was actually trying to get the opinion of others, this is when Britney moved in closer. She stood there listening as he spoke and spoke some more until he finally stopped waiting for people to chime in. Britney looked around waiting to see if anyone was going to jump in and speak first but after a moment of silence she decided she would just speak up.

"You know Noble, I think you do have a valid point about the whole Godfather position. Three per city does seem like a bit of them but then again when you think about it these cities that we live in aren't small. With the way the land is it wouldn't be easy for just one Godfather to run an entire city, there's way too much going on."

Britney pauses for a moment, taking a breathe before continuing

"Now if the structure was a bit different, then yeah perhaps one Godfather could work. I just don't see how one family could be in charge of an entire city. There would be almost no way for it to be properly governed that way. It pretty much has to be exactly how it is now, at this point any change as drastic as that could destroy the current environment around itself."

Britney looks at Noble

"I hope you kind of understand my point at least from my point of view."

Noble looked at a lady from the back of the crowd speak up and he took a slow drag from his blunt

"Yes and thank you for sharing. I do believe one family can rule all, is it possible not quite. But is it impossible defiantly not. That is what keeps this life of ours so fresh, these cities are so enormous with millions of people living in it each day. But its all about the 1%. That is money, and money talks. One man can rule the world, its the dream of many.  Everyone is killing to be on top, and honestly when there is more than one god father it should be a temporary cease fire, not a permanent friendship. We all know everyone waits for the one mistake to take action. Its the only ways wars are fought today and alot of people loose their lives over trusting friendships. If you have the money then you get the power, some godfather could have up to hundreds of millions even billions of dollars. These people could build their own military if they wanted, that being said the first one to build it could kill of the competition until they are left to defend themselvs with untrained people with sticks and stones. That is a reality and that is how kings ruled back in ancient times. Yes kings and queens would appoint other kings and queens but  true king would make it known that they are above them and that the real power resides in one true king. 

Noble takes a drag of his blunt

"With money you can buy the world. Buy enough hardware to take the world, thing is its hard to see people with enough guts to take this task, we would rather sit and be safe yet knowing we will never escape death. One man can do alot, now a family of those people is crazy with endless possibilities. 

Britney stands there nodding her head as Noble is speaking

"The only problem with having all the money and all power is that there will always be someone or a group of people that will despise you to their core. It is a quick way to make lots of enemies, hell even the people within your organization (not all of them) will start to hate you and want everything that you have. It is instances like these that could crumble a family or organization. With more families and more godfather the wealth is spread around a bit more. Now I won't speak on behalf of any of the Godfathers but knowing that there is a Chairman in every city kind of signifies that, that person is the main Godfather in control. Now correct me if I'm wrong but that is the perception that I see."

Britney coughs from the smoke in the air

"From the outside looking in, it already seems that there is one person in charge of a city and they "delegate" what will happen within the city. So in a way, one person does run a city."

Noble put out the blunt as he saw it might bother Britney

"No see we could always change the names and language is very important. A Godfather should rule a city lets say New York, but dons should run the sub cities. That is what gives the respect Godfather it deserves. Also we have other Godfathers from other cities, these would be the enemies. " It is simple, make Godfather mean something, and it gives Don a meaning too. A Don rules a sub city while a Godfather rules all. Now a ruling godfather knows that a godfather from another city will try to take him out eventually. So this is where war must be used, to expand control. Now baby steps because this life has alot to take in. You are right about money being corrupted, it does bring jealousy etc. That is why you must be wise in how you flaunt your money, also a family must mean that, not just random recruiting and promoting. Trust cannot be bought, but Britney this is what make life so fun, following a dream will always have its adventure." 

Noble pauses

" I do not see what the point in calling a godfather a chairman.. Isnt that what Godfather is supposed to mean in the first place?? Dons should be the normal godfathers we have today. A chairman has such a prestige name to it, why? We traded the meaning of Godfather to chairman. Dons are not to be fucked with, they hold power. Its honestly just the names that are being switched, kind of like how people in the past said shell shock and now I believe some say post traumatic stress disorder. It takes the life out of the word, like shell shock. Bam it hits us hard but post traumatic stress disorder sounds like someone whining about somthing. Its the same with Godfather we traded it for chairmen.  It took the life out of the word Godfather. Godfather is like a god only he rules not any other God. You do need sub rulers under you I mean millions of people live here, that is where Dons come in, but to have Godfathers friendly with each other is nuts, half is understandable okay the names changed from godfather to chairman, and Dons are now godfathers. But the other half is not understandble how if one chairman has competition how that person dosnt wipe out the competition. That is the way wars work, its for survival, it shouldnt be boring and still not escaping wars. Lets have it old fashion and higher paced. 

Britney sits back and nods at everything Noble is saying and waits patiently for him to stop speaking so she could add more to this conversation.

"Now Noble, I'm not disagreeing with you at all. The structure around here is a bit odd yes but I think it was tailored for the land we live in. Would it be nice to see a different structure layout in the cities but it kind of is what it is. We as the minions, at this moment have to sit back and just go with what is out there. Perhaps in time if we prove ourselves capable of more then perhaps we can change the ways of the land. Until then though there is only so much we can dream about."

Britney paused for a moment to thank Noble for putting out his blunt.

"The one thing I have always been curious about is the whole district thing. There are always multiple crews in a district which is yes led by one acting "Godfather" that Godfather has an underboss set up underneath them. So now tell me, why are the family names different? Aren't these people all one group? Cause by the looks of it kind of seems they aren't one group but different crews just residing in the same district." I may be going a little bit off your topic noble but in a way I think it coincides with what you are saying."

Britney looks around here, seems it is only her and Noble having this conversation.

"Hey, I could use a cup of coffee and since it is only us care to join me?"
