Mastermind was quite anxious last night, he couldn't really sleep since today was the big day for the Interview with Duplicity, despite going through the questions and preparations many times to make sure everything goes smoothly and despite the fact that he was happy with the level of preparation but he still couldn't sleep. He woke up many times during the night for no particular reason but eventually the sun was up.

   He stepped out of bed and made some coffee and let it cool a little while he took his shower & suited up in his best suit. As soon as he went down, his driver opened the car door for him. He sat on the back seat and told the driver: To The Penose Lounge & Bar. Duplicity was the one to choose the place and it was a perfect choice actually because the weather was amazing today & sitting outdoors would definitely be something.

   Few minutes after he arrived Duplicity arrived, she was dressed in a very elegant eye-catching black dress, with a matching black hat & white gloves that made a stunning contrast that made everyone in the place gaze for few seconds before realizing that it might not be very wise to gaze upon the GodMother. Mastermind welcomed her and walked with her to their previously booked table overlooking the street. The place was full of guards, even the streets were well guarded, it was a mix of her bodyguards and his guards.

As soon as they sit down and place their orders, Mastermind pulled a couple of papers from his small bag and started speaking.

Firsts of All, I would like to thank you so much for being here today, I know you are very busy.

D - It is my Pleasure, Thanks to you MasterMind. Let's go ahead with the Interview.

MM - Sure, As a start, many of us here knows Duplicity as The GodMother & the fearless Crew Leader but I assume none of us knows anything about your life on the personal level. Are You Married? Do You Have Kids?

D - Not married, no kids, a single lady who enjoys her work over pleasure.

MM - How do you Lead your crew? Do you have an Advisory Board ?

D - I take opinions into Account, but ultimately I'm the one who takes the decisions.

MM - What was the toughest Decision you had to take during your leadership?

S - The toughest decision I made was when I removed The_Hitcher.

MM - Who is the crew leader you respect the most?

S - The crew leader I respect the most I would have to say is written down in my old family journals. JesseJames. He gave me my first chance, he taught me how to handle situations you had to deal with as a leader, and he taught me how to train, if only I cared to really do it.

MM - What is your advice to new Crew Leaders ?

S- Value your members and those you can really trust. Trust is a rare thing in this world if you find it, never let it go.

MM - Do you want to send a message to readers who will read this in the newspapers?

S - A message? Everyone dies, one day or another you and I will die. I won't live forever, but till then I will protect my city and my people. If it makes me a Tyrant, then if the crown fits, I'll wear it.

MasterMind nods agreeing to her wise words, and says:

I Think we are done with the easy Questions, but before I move on to reader's questions, would you like to take a break ?

No, It is fine, and she points to one of her assistants asking him to bring her a cold bottle of water.

They took a break for few minutes before he continued his questions saying:

Question one from Kinky_Rogers, he asked: Pancakes or Waffles?

S- Waffles, for sure

MasterMind smiled as he says: 2nd Question from Tyler of Delware, he asked, Why is it that most of the drug cartels are lead by females ?

Duplicity laughed and smiled to that question before she says: We just have that touch.

Ok, 3rd question is an Anonymous Question, the reader asked: Do you want to control everything, you seem to eliminate all threats as they rise up?

S - I don't want to control everything. Yet, in order to live in this world you must remove any threats, it is how it has been and always will be. Those complaining are just on the wrong end of it this time.

I totally agree with you on that, Now our last question, Anonymous Question 2: You have proved to have what it takes to lead, you have as well eliminated a lot of Drug Cartels, what does it really needs to wipe a Cartel, is it cold blood or it needs more than that?

S- I'll be honest with you, you need thick skin and the ability to harden your heart some. As a person who cares about the people around her, I had to remove feelings from my actions. You have to be able to balance your emotions in this world. If you can't, it will eat you alive.

A fine interview, but I wonder why we transition from D (who I suppose is Godmother Duplicity?) to S (?). Bit confusing, but a good interview nonetheless I suppose!

tips his hat

He may be remembering a simpler time and place.

slightly bows as he heads back out the door

nice interview, it's nice to get a inside view in the way of a Godmother. Are you also going to interview all the other Godfathers and mothers in this word of ours? 

Appelsap would love to see what the opinions from for instance Tyler Durden are. He must be crazy

Definitely an interesting interview. Interesting to know what goes through the mind of an upper regarding the mechanics of crew management.

Tips his hat and walks away pondering the responses other Godmothers/Godfathers would have.

Nixe closed the newspaper with a sigh, a thoughtful expression settled down upon his soft features. The interview itself was stellar, and he regretted not being informed sooner - he would have liked to ask a question himself.

"First off thank you for taking the time to put this interview together, both to MasterMind and to Duplicity. A rare glimpse into the mind of a Godfather. That being said I'm somewhat disappointed in the for lack of a better word, lack luster questions. Of all the questions that could have been asked in this rare interview, it seems as though you chose the most simple and basic questions. The possibilities were nearly endless. Though I look forward to future interviews, I certainly hope the content quality improves."

I'm with you, GreenArrow. I came here expecting nitty gritty confessions - all the clandestine secrets, the sequestered skeletons in the closet, the burgeoning ruminations waiting to be unearthed, yearning for exoneration, oh my!

Instead, we got "Pancakes or waffles?" Such riveting journalism.

At least she chose waffles.

Mastermind smiles to the comments of the readers and promises to keep that in mind for his next interview ;)

I damn near choked on my own laughter hours ago to the this being described as stellar. This is a piss poor interview. For starters, the interviewer wipes Duplicity's ass. Of course it will be a weak interview. Anyone can answer in the way the Moran answered. But lets put that part aside for a moment.  

There was no given/announced/rationale to the death of Don Brooklyn. As a matter fact the bloodshed of all the Dons and their crews have been nothing but fabricated inte. The latest deaths she had a good rapport with and no intel on this earth told her otherwise.

She saw a street thug announcing on the streets she kills respectable Dons and their crews in fear of dying by their gun. She took this announcement to a hand of a respectable Don and accused them of saying such. Hours later two Dons and crews were wiped out but no reason for one of the Dons.

Do you think we just got off the boat? This interview sucked big time. For those who had a question and wished they knew the interview would take place, I am here to tell you Duplicity did not know the interview was taking place. Her answers were mailed to her for her approval.

Lets get a real interview. But then again any questions you or I might have, we know the answers.

Hers is another  thing. She speaks on trust. (Some may have more in that department then her because she is too busy shitting on her own and lacks the following.)

I got a question. Trumps aany qustion on this lame interview.   Why on earth would you not take heed to the current events and better prepare?  Where are your Consiglieres?  Only hands are acknowledged and that is very foolish.

The last question, or rather answer stood out for me the most and I thought Godmother Duplicity was spot on. There is no room for emotion a lot of the time, despite so many people bringing it into the equation. Too often do I see people being too emotionally attached to others and that's where you're gonna get burnt. You really do need to have a thick skin and look at it from a business perspective as opposed to personal. In business you protect your investment and that's what this life is about in a nut shell.

Sadly, we will always have people like TheChallenger around, bitter at the world and focusing their energy on unkind words instead of sucking it up and moving on. It's entertaining for a while, watching the sons and daughters of the fallen point fingers and talk trash but then after some time it grows dull and boring.

Anyway, thanks for bringing this to the street, I look forward to the next interview.

Who is too say Duplicity is not running on emotions? Why is it when the obvious demented issues come to surface the ass wipers side with the pitiful? Lets take a consensus on that one.

Mastermind is not really sure what TheChallenger means with what he said, so he asks him to explain more on what he means and what is his point. He thinks he do understand but he is not really sure he got it right, and it is not really nice to assume in such cases.
