Lucretia walked through streets of Las Vegas, mulling over the events of the past few days. Many of her best men had lost their lives in a foolish escapade started by another city. Many of her friends were gone, never to be seen again. The once-raucous streets of Las Vegas had lost a bit of their luster in the passing events, though she was sure the city would recover to its former grandeur. The events had put her in an uncharacteristically pensive mood, rather than one of revelry as she had often times indulged after the passing of loved ones. Perhaps that would come later. Perhaps it had already passed, but she was too busy fighting for her city to have noticed. Whatever the case, there Lucretia was, pondering the future of Sin City.

As she passed the old casinos, the strip clubs, and the bars, Lucretia had a bit of a revelation. She had come to Las Vegas hoping to find a home among the debauchery, but really she had never quite felt at ease there. Sure, Lucretia enjoyed watching men stripteasing on stage as much as the next gal, or a good game of craps as much as the next high roller, but it wasn't until the recent events that she realized just what was missing. She was too far away from everyone she cared about so much. Her friends, family, and all the people she had grown up with were all elsewhere; all she had here was the group of people she had brought with her. Granted, they were wonderful, and she could not think of better men and women to have in her organization, but it just wasn't the same when anymore when you were off on your own so much. She missed the proximity of everything on the east coast, and found the vast expanses of desert as far as the eye can see around her new city to be a depressing reminder of her isolation.

So a few hours later, Lucretia had already completed the phone calls and discussed the matter with the other Godfathers. She didn't want to dilly-dally on the matter. It was time to go home to the hustle and bustle of the big cities of the east. After all of that was arranged, she called up Cryptic to give him the news in a short conversation.

Hello, Cryptic?

Lucretia? Are things well? A call like this so soon after a war has me worried.

Oh, you worry too much. Not at all. I have wonderful news for you, I think. I'm going to be heading out east to take over the now empty city of Philadelphia. You're finally rid of me! The two laugh. But more seriously, I need someone to stay here in Las Vegas to keep a mob presense here. You've shown yourself quite capable of that. I want you to take care of the city from now on. It's yours for the taking. If you ever need anything, of course, I'll be out there in Philly, a phone call away. Best of luck to you!

After that conversation it was a simple matter of contacting Youngsta and getting him to hop a flight to Philly so they could move their headquarters. Then they left for the next big adventure.

After many hours of warring CantThinkOfAName sits back in the new HQ in Philly. Well a must say this is a surprise, a very nice one infact.

Cryptic, I've worked along side you for many months now and i could not have picked someone better for the job to take over the empire of LV.

Congratz fella and treat it well like we have.

Balian quickly walks over to Godmother Lucretia, "Godmother, I wish you the best luck for the new venture and hope to see you raise your new city to great heights".

He then walks over to Cryptic, "Congratulation boss, You deserve it."

Walks down the street to the nice new headquarters, she stops along the way to mail a card congratulating Cryptic on his promotion to acting head of Las Vegas. Once she reaches the building, Scream asks to
speak to Godmother Lucretia. The bodyguards at the door look her over
good but allow her inside. She walks to where the loud music is
playing, she knows Lucretia always celebrates with loud music. She
enters Lucretia's new office and hands her a bunch of flowers and
canteen of bailey's and coffee.

You are so close now I can come visit any time I want! So much easier
than the long flights we used to have. Be prepared for lots of girl's nights out!

Congrats Cryptic there is no one better to be leading Las Vegas, and to you Godmother/father good luck and congratulations to your new job in Philly

Dionysus listens to his Godmother speak before standing and applauding with the rest of the crowd no doubt over joyed at this news.

Even in such... unfortunate times you have found a way to be progressive, caring, and problem solving. I am glad that I get to further my opportunities under the House of Borgia flag.

Congratulations Cryptic, Good luck with Las Vegas. Keep her safe.

Chade smiles in pleasure as he sees Godmother Lucretia's new home in Philly.

" I hope the move went well for you Godmother, and I am sure that Philly will thrive and flourish under your guide. Please accept this bottle of wine as a house warming gift."

Chade passes the bottle over before tipping his hat and taking his leave of the Godmother.

Woo... Go Cryptic!  You deserve it babe.  Can't wait to see what you do with your own city.  Great things, great things I'm sure.
