It is a sunny Sunday afternoon, as RickJames strides up to the main chambers of the Detroit Headquarters. Stopping at the steps, Rick takes a moment to himself. Pulling up a small vanity mirror that he has kept on him since his days as a mere associate, Rick gives himself a quick lookover, adjusting his hair and tie. After deeming himself sexy beyond a shadow of a doubt, Rick heads inside.

Passing through the halls of the Detroit Headquarters he notices various paintings commemorating all the great Mafioso’s that have come before him. In his own way, Rick takes a few minutes to pay his respects to those that have come before him, those that have made the ultimate sacrifice on behalf of the city of Detroit. He smiles, hoping that one day a painting of his likeness will hang in this walls, forever attesting to the glory that is RickJames, but he decides not to get ahead of himself.

Opening the great doors to the Inner Sanctum of the Headquarters, Rick makes his way through the rows and rows of chairs, passing fellow friends and former comrades. He notices that all of the various leaders from each city and each district have made it for the commencement, and he nods at them as he passes. Heading up the marble staircase that leads to the podium, Rick is greeted by CalogeroDiSalvo, who gestures him to stand beside him. Calogero gives a few words before introducing Rick, and with a tap of the microphone Rick is welcomed before the crowd.

“Ladies and Gentlemen… I give you, the one, the only RickJames!” Calogero says, before standing aside for Rick to give his speech, which he had preparing for.

Rick grasps the microphone, taking a deep breath, and begins;

“Hello everyone. First of all I wanted to make this announcement in front of you all, in the presence of our fine city leaders as well as God. I am so humbled to be given the opportunity to begin my own Family lineage, and I know that this may come as a surprise but I am nervous. There have been many that have come before me, announcing their candidacy and even gave speeches just like this one. Some have gone on to do great things, while others have not. But we must not forget all of those that have tried…”

Rick takes a sigh of relief, and his voice changes slightly to a deeper tone.

“However. I intend to do things differently. I was given this chance by the grace of God, as well as my wonderful Family, but make no mistake this opportunity was not, and is not for me alone. Everything we do, we do for our Family. From every Associate, to every Don, we work hard to strive for a better tomorrow. We sweat, we Bleed for This Thing of Ours, and no one Mafioso can stand alone in this world.

My aims are to bring back an old world perspective into this new day and age, and that is why I have decided that The Detroit Partnership is by far the most fitting name for my new organization. For it is with the wholeness of Detroit that I have been able to take on this role, and I will never forget that. This city of ours is an amazing one, and I strive to make it even better.

Now I know you may not all know me yet, but I will make the time to get to know each and ever one of you. I look forward to breaking bread, sharing stories, and forming everlasting bonds that will propel this city into an even greater future.

I thank you for your time.”

RickJames takes a step back, and the crowd begins to clap. He humbly lowers his head in respect to the city leaders, and takes his place next to CalogeroDiSalvo, A-True-Soprano, and The_Hitcher in the front row.

As the crowd begins to mingle, Calogero takes Rick aside, and begins to introduce him to his fellow leaders.

Realising he may have given RickJames the wrong pill in the champagne, he smiles as he watches Rick go 100 miles per hours in speech

Rick you have been a loyal servant for a long time and have helped build this family, you have been a great friend and advisor and i look forward to you spreading your wings

Congratulations my friend

.

WhoreAbully weaved her way through the crowd, exchanging niceties with all the familiar faces as she passed by. She eventually made her way to the front where Rick and the city leaders congregated. The mood was light and happy, some were shaking Ricks hand while others were giving him a congratulatory pat on the back. Whore sneaks up behind him, wrapping her arms around his waist she gives him a big hug, leans in and whispers in his ear.

Congratulations my friend, I know you'll do a fine job.

She kisses him on the cheek before she makes her way back through the crowd to slip into her waiting car.

TLM:> rises from his chair and makes his way over to RickJames. Passing by Calogero, he gives a simple smile and eventually finds Rick.

"Rick, it looks like the only thing left to do is find a new building. I may know just the place..."

TLM:> takes out a small map and a pencil. He circles an area in Corktown and taps it a few times. "This is the spot. It'll be perfect."

Rick looks at TLM:> and smiles, "You'll be a good asset, TLM. A good Right Hand at that."

TLM:> beams. "Really?!"

"Yeah. You've earned it," Rick says, patting his new RHM on the back. 

TLM:> turns to address the crowd. Somehow a champagne glass finds it way into his hands. "TO RICKJAMES! May Detroit shine even brighter!"

 

Upon hearing the news Soul dashes through the city and catches the end of the speech. applauding loudly he takes out a bottle of the finest Tequila money can buy. 

Managed to get this smuggled across the border for a special occasion, and this seems like the place to break the seal.

Pouring out a shot for RickJames, WhoreAbully, CalogeroDiSalvo, and a sneaky double shot for himself, Soul salutes RickJames and shakes his hand. 

You will do an excellent job my friend. I look forward to seeing The Detroit Partnership flourish in the future. 

Soul pours one more round of shots before heading back through the crowd

House hobbles up and greets Rick with a handshake

"Congrats my friend I wish the best and hope charlie m joins you soon"

house reaches inside his coat and brings out a bottle of Whiskey with a custom label

"Take this its five fingers face special reserve"

House nods and lets Rick greet the other well wishers

as Abe looks upon his friend with great pride he nods and lifts his flask. "Cheers my friend Grats on the promotion" "I know you will make a great contribution to this fine city of ours". Abe takes a swig and passes the flask to RickJames.

As the dust settles a-true-soprano makes his way over to RickJames to offer his gratulations.

Rick, I have a hard time finding words to describe how I feel about this great achievement of yours, but I have to say, I doubt there's anybody that's happier to see that you've finally gotten your chance to open your own headquarters, and run your own Family.

I know you'll do a fantastic job in Corktown, and that you'll be a great addition to Detroit as a whole.

Best of luck on your new adventures, and whenever you need anything, you know where to find me!

a-true-soprano hands RickJames a glass of champagne, and raises his glass.

Salute!

Congratulations Rick. Very happy to see you up there in that lovely bold suit. UNITY

Congratulation RickJames I wish you all the best in your new Head Quarters and I know you will do a great job in Corktown and I look forward to seeing the district grow more in the future.  

DeadShot turns and head off into the shadows of the street.

Liquid light cigaret and step up

"Congrats RickJames,I wish you good luck in new position,all best"

after few words Liquid stand in side to hear other comments

         "Rick notices Charlie out of the corner of his eye and runs up to him."

 Charlie Murphy!!! eh eh eh eh Brother darkness! I've got a little question for you..​

"Charlie Murphy Looks back at Rick with a confused look on his face and reply's , What?"

"Rick yells, SLAP!"

"as he slaps Charlie so hard the drink falls out of his hand to the floor . Everyone turns around in disbelief staring at Rick and Charlie in disbelief as Rick yells, Its a Celebration Bishes!"

seeing RickJames run after Charlie and slapping his drink he steps back and goes the other way not knowing how he feels about the promotion he just got. After hearing "It's a celebration Bishes" he turns and looks to see RickJames give Charlie a big bear hug. Abe turns and reaches into his pocket only to see the whole room give him the crazy eye and reach also, "Hey Now I'm here for the celebration" he shouts "Its all good, I'm Abe Bernstein his left-hand man. Just congratulating RickJames on his big promotion". Abe notices everyone relax a bit as he continues his speech. " I have known RickJames for a bit and he has changed my ways of thinking and has made a big difference in my life on the streets. I am so proud to be a part of The Detroit Partnership. Abe slowly reaches for 2 drinks on a cart and lifts his in the air. Cheers to my new boss and friend RickJames! Abe again slowly reaches into his vest pocket and pulls out a couple Cuban Cigars, hands one to RickJames. Grats my friend. Abe flicks his zippo open and lights Ricks cigar, cheers my friend.
