Tommy sat in the office of his HQ located in the heart of Black Bottom, carefully crunching numbers.

"It's been a long road."

Tommy spoke to himself as he scribbled and erased over and over again.

Tommy had always claimed to be a business man and his mission had always been clear. Grow the city of Detroit and make Black Bottom shine and become a standout District as it pertained to his....business of choice.

After carefully counting between line after line of the numbers and marks he made, Tommy placed his pencil down across the book and sighed.

"It's time."

He spoke as he leaned back in his chair and cried out for Neveah.

"Neveah! Neveahhhhh!"

Tommy exclaimed loudly as he awaited his Hands arrival. Neveah came running into the room with a flabbergasted look upon her face as she swung open the door.

"What Tommy!? For the love of God what is the matter!?"

Tommy looked up at her from his chair and smiles softly.

"It's time, we've met our quota. Go and retrieve her. It is time."

Neveah nodded as she knew what Tommy meant. They had long discussed the growth of Black Bottom.

Tommy had worked hand in hand, no pun intended, with his hands to ensure the fruitful business of Black Bottom. From coming over originally with the move from Chicago, to rebuilding after the removal of Don Technical they knew that one day they must expand their operations to account for all of the growth they hoped to bring.

Today was that day.

Neveah had gone, left the headquarters of their Black Bottom base of operations and went to retrieve Cin who Tommy had sent out for collections so he could thumb through and crunch the numbers within his books. He smiled at the thought of her surprise when he handed her the keys to the building he had recently acquired in a business deal within the district.

Cin and her Mother and her Mother before her had given so much to the city of Detroit and to Black Bottom itself. Her recent line of ancestors had been through the highs and the lows of Detroit. They had given their lives, utilized their talents and helped build and rebuild brick by brick. To her, he owed his life and to a part, his success.

A knock came at the door to his office as he day dreamed about the past and what would come in the future.

"Yes, come in."

Tommy responded to the unspoken question.

Neveah and the puzzled Cin made their way into the room as Tommy straightened some papers on his desk.

"Well, sit down. I need to speak to you, Cin".

As Cin took her seat in front of him and Neveah stood behind her, Tommy began to speak.

"Cin, you have been my partner in crime, my advisor and my friend. Unfortunately, all great things must end.."

Tommy trailed off as a worried look came across Cin's face.

"However, it won't necessarily be ending but instead, changing. We've hit the numbers kiddo. We did it. We set out to grow this District and help strengthen this city and we hit our first goal. Even with the rebuilding and the business lost from the tragedy in Black Bottom, we've done it!"

A smile ran across Tommy's face as he could see Cin's demeanor change and relax

"We've spoken of this day a few times. We've tossed around some numbers, well, the proof is in the pudding so they say."

Tommy slides the papers he had been scribbling on over to Cin as he nodded to Neveah to signal for her to pour a glass of whiskey he had bought special for the occasion.

"Not only did we obtain our goal, we surpassed it! With all you've done for me, all you've done for this District and this city, I have a gift for you. I know you will do with it great things and together we will continue to grow the business of this District and by proxy help make the city of Detroit even greater than it already is!"

Tommy takes the glass Neveah has approached him with and watches as Cin takes hers as well.

"Before we drink to growth and prosperity, let me say. Congratulations, you deserved this and I know you won't let me or Godfather Visas down. Here's the keys to the present I've acquired for you. It might need a...touch of Cin but otherwise I think it will suit you just fine. Now! Let's have a drink and celebrate your move out on your own!"

Tommy passes the keys over to Cin as he smiles and nods to her in approval before lifting up his glass and speaking a last phrase.

"Salute!"

Cin had been walking along the streets of Detroit collecting the money that TommyAngelo required when she noticed Neveah headed in her direction. Pausing, Cin turned to look over at Neveah, they had been working together and she seemed to be coming towards her in a hurry. Suddenly she began to feel a little uneasy as she waited for Neveah to catch up.


"Is everything okay?" Cin asked just as Neveah stopped in front of her. She didn't give the other woman much time to breathe let alone answer as she began striding back towards the Headquarters.


Instinctively Cin knew there was something up but she had hoped it wouldn't be bad and if it was that she would reach Tommy in time. Neveah must have sensed that Cin was beginning to get frantic because she grabbed Cin's arm and pulled her until she slowed a bit.


"Calm down lady, the Don is fine. We just need to head back to the Headquarters because he has to speak to you."


Cin nodded and they both walked together towards the Headquarters. Cin's mind was off wandering what it was Tommy needed to speak to her about. She went through a check list in her head of all the things it could be but she knew that they had crossed every t and dotted every i earlier. Rounding the corner they were soon in front of the HQ.


Neveah lead her straight to the door of the Tommy's office. This once she allowed Neveah to walk instead of barging right through the doors as she normally did when she was feeling a little unsure and frantic. As they heard the "Come in" Cin walked through the doors. Settling herself down on the chair in front of the desk.


Cin was worried and she was sure it showed on her face. She looked over at Tommy then behind her at Neveah. She was tense but she waited to see what Tommy had to say. As she listened to Tommy she began to relax and sink back in the chair a little bit. As he finished there was a smile playing on her lips.


"You had me worried. You know I always have to wonder what you got into when Neveah starts rushing for me. Geez louise!" She started. "I certainly hope that I can continue to make you and Godmother Visas very proud. Oh my this building will be lovely! Absolutely lovely.. Once I am done with it. You just wait and see!"


Cin stared down at the keys. She could already envision the space and how it would be painted to her liking. And then suddenly she had a thought, she needed a name.


"I need a name. I know! This will be such a fitting name. The House of Sin. We'll do whatever it takes to get the job done surely."


Cin was very excited she couldn't resist a bit of a giggle.


"Thank you so much for this opportunity Sir."

queenie was lurking in the back ground of the office, as to not draw attention away from the Don and his announcement. Once Tommy had finished toasting his newly authed captain queenie chimed in

 

"Salute!" She sips at the glass and immediately regrets it. "Bleh, this is the same stuff Visas tried to give me as a house warming gift, was he lumbered with a consignment of this shiii *coughs* this stuff, or something?"

 

queenie puts her glass down on a side table, out of the way where no one might accidentally confuse the glass for their own. queenie over hears Cin rambling outloud her ideas for names. Being a fan of word play queenie pipes in with her own suggestions, know Cin would ignore them, anyway.

 

"Ooo, Ooo!! why not "A Cinister Mob"? mmm or how about "The trash Cinema fan club" ooooooooo I know, I know..."

 

queenie could see in Cin's eyes the contemplation to bop queenie on the head to shut her up, but Cin realises very quickly that would be a less than diginified way to start her working relationship as a boss of the city and pats her on the noggin instead.

Unimpressed by Cin's lack of enthusiasm for her suggestions queenie decides to leave, in a huff. She snaps her fingers and her butterguard Jeeves thrusts a butter and butter sammich into Cin's mouth then strides off indignantly.

Rae smiles and nods her head, "Congratulations, I'm sure you're going to be a wonderful addition to this city." she says to Cin with a smile.

Neveah was thrilled when Tommy asked her to go and collect Cin. She had to work hard to stop from smiling the whole time they were walking back to HQ - after all, she couldn't give it all away too soon. But she did take a moment to reassure Cin that at all was well. The woman was a constant worrier but Neveah understood why. 

Once Tommy and Cin and even queenie had said their piece, Neveah got the chance to chime in. 

"Congratulations Cin! You're going to be fantastic and I have no doubt the House of Sin will be amazing. I can't wait to come visit once you have it all set up. Nobody deserves it more."

Visas had been busy with alot of other stuff she had hardly had a moment to herself with the crying and whining of the next of kin in the streets she had thought about opening an orphanage for these poor homeless scamps but there wasnt much profit in that so thought better of that plan.

TommyAngelo had phoned telling Visas he was ready to expand operations in Black Bottom and that Cin was going to get the nod to run these operations.Visas thought to herself Cin her mother and grandmother had both lost there lives in the early stages of Detroit but both had worked hard for not only herself but Technical and Tommy it came as no surprise that Cin had worked just as hard and Tommy had felt the need to give her her own family and expand his operation in Black Bottom.

Cin you have had your ups and downs since joining us here in Detroit but you have put your heart and soul into helping build this city. I know that you will continue to work hard in making not only your family great but black bottom and the city of Detroit to become a place that is great.

Thank you and congrats.
