Jake was sat in his office sipping some bourbon when Cordelia entered and announced "they're here". After a few minutes passed Clay turned up bringing Don RoryRourke and his right hand Lucy with him.

"Glad to see you all here today please take a seat, before we get how about a drink before we get started"

Lucy's eyes light up as soon as drink is mentioned. Bob (one of Jake's bodyguards) fetches everyones drinks as they all take their seats.

"I've called you all here because soon I shall be taking taking over the position of Godfather and we will need to expand. I have decided that it's time for Lucy to setup her own headquarters and when I take Godfather she will assume control over the majority of my family. Lucy has worked hard for both myself and Rory and has more than earned her shot at running a family."

Jake looks around the room seeing the silent agreement on everyone's face.

"So Lucy, what do you say?"

She sits back, tugging uncomfortably at her skirt to cover knees and crossing her ankles primly, and sips on her drink, scowling at Bob for mixing her a shitty weak drink that would only make Jake_Ballard wince at its strength. She turns to smile at Lucy awaiting the lovely lady's reply.

Well dear, what do you say? Will you do it? Will you REALLY do IT?! Are you ready to let it go?! Please say yes, we need some estrogen in the Black Bottom.

She covers her lips to hide the mischievous grin upon her lips and bats her eyelashes.

Oh my, that sounded a bit naughty. My bad.

She walks behind the desk to Jake's massive, fully stocked bar making sure to dig the heel of her shoes into the tops of Clay, Rory, Bob, Byron's feet enjoying the whines and winces of pain they made/did/whatever. She finally reaches the bar and adds a "bit" more vodka to her glass. Turning to face the her fellow Black Bottomians she rests her hand on Jake's shoulder and digs her talon-like nails in as she sips and smiles.

You need a bigger office boss, this place is kinda cramped no room to walk past people. Someone could get hurt.

Lucy sat looking a little disappointed at her drink, she glances over at Bob with a scornful look before reaching in her pocket for her flask of moonshine. Pouring a generous helping into her glass she tosses the flask at Cordelia who catches it expertly. After taking a big swig of the jungle juice, Lucy shudders a little, ahhh that was more like it...clearing her throat she looks across to Jake, who is looking a little bit tipsy, before speaking.

My dear Jake, it would indeed be an honour to take this leap and run my own crew. It's been my great pleasure to work with you, the amazing Cordelia, Clay and of course Rory and his crew of mighty mobsters, whom I will miss sharing a headquarters.

I think we can make some great business happen in the future especially now that I have a supply chain up and running for the Rourke Moonshine Co. I have farmers all over the country dedicated to growing delicious taters for the enterprise so it seems appropriate to name my crew 'Spud Farm!.

Taking another drink Lucy looks at Cordelia and winks at her cheeky lil face and silently mouths 'girl power'.

With your blessing I would like to take EMoney as my Right Hand, I can think of no-one better qualified to help me run a crew than the liquer connoisseur himself!

Glancing over to EMoney who burped in response to her suggestion, Lucy took this as a sign of agreement from him then waited to see if Jake could manage a response as his eyes looked a little glazed.

Rory sat back in his chair, the back of his feet were decimated, but he was determined not to show pain. He took a swig of his drink as the memories replayed in his head. Lucy had been the one to bring him into Jake_Ballard 's crew after the actions of Credits and Rusty. Since the beginning of his time in Detroit, she had been his closest friend and confidante. When Rory had taken over his own family, Lucy had done him the honour of being is Right Hand and had done him a great service. Rory was immensely proud to see this day, a day that Lucy had worked incredibly hard for and deserved greatly. wiping a tear away from his eye, Rory stood up, cleared his throat and began to speak.

Lucy, today is one of conflicting emotions for me. I am sad to have lost such an excellent right hand of course. However, I am overwhelmingly proud to see you take control of your own organisation. I know that you are the best choice for this district and for Detroit and I look forward to continuing to work with you. 

I am sure your taters will make our finest moonshine yet. 

Rory embraces Lucy before retaking his seat.

Thad arrived at Lucy's HQ, fashionably late as usual. An associate opened the door, and he ushered him to Lucy's office. She smiled as he entered and Thad embraces her in a tight hug.

I am so happy for you Lucy, you deserve every bit of this. I expect nothing but greatness from you, and I have no doubt you will do a fine job. We need to celebrate.

He places a bottle of fine scotch on the desk.

That's my favorite blend, tis a pity they're not very easy to acquire in this part of the world. Oh and hide that before EMoney finds it, will ya?

EMoney hadn't said much outside a burp. Listening to everything that transpired it seems a drink was in order for many reason. Avoiding everyone's eyes and makes his way to Jake's secert stash from the "other " bar. Pouring 2 glass fulls he walks over to Jakes desk and sets one down infront of the man he has worked for and now a Godfather.

Watching Jake struggle to balance in the chair and grab his fresh drink. EMoney take a nice swig and address's the room.

First, I'd like to say a big congrats is in order her bossman. Now you've worked you ass off and overthrew threw the old man, so BlackBottom is all yours. It was a pleasure and a honor to work with you and glad to finally be Happy to call you Godfather now! Well done my friend.

EMoney raises his glass as the room does and they down their drinks.

Now another well done is in order I do believe. Lucy, its amazing that your getting a chance to run some things. We all know how hard you have worked for Mr.Rory, so this comes as no surprise and I bet everyone here expects great things . So well done and congrats. And thank you for the chance to help you run your family. Its a great honor and I hope I do well by all of you. With that be said.

To BlackBottom!

Everyone raises their glass and starts to drink, EMoney grabs the bottle raises it and starts to swig on it.
