- Saturday

As gunshots echoed throughout the six Cities, the Mafioso of our good country fought tooth and nail for survival. Many good men and women had been lost, but it was not all bleak. This world we live in is much like a revolving door and that in which is lost also brings gain. Plans had already been laid for the expansion of Maledictus but with the interruption of bloodshed, they had been pushed back for more pressing matters. However, with war plans in place and things already running, there was chance to make the expansion Maledictus had been waiting so patiently for.

Borya headed out to one of their safehouses for a meeting with AnomanderRake. Conversation was kept pretty short as there was much else to be dealt with but they spoke of AnomanderRake's Father and his concerns about bringing his boy into this life. Although these concerns meant a lot to Borya, being the close friend of JohnnyMarcone that he was, he could not refuse the young talent a chance at greatness. He'd done nothing but impress since the day his feet hit the ground in the Maledictus' HQ. Borya dare say he may have even been better than his late Father! For this reason, Borya had no alternative but to give the boy what he truly deserved - not just a Headquarters of his own, but an entire District.

The two men clinked glasses and made time to share stories and memories. They both knew they were needed back out on the field so unfortunately did not have time to finish the bottle. Before leaving to continue their fight, the two men hugged in a firm embrace. Patting each other on the back, they stepped out of it before Borya began to speak,

"You're gonna do so well, son. I just know it. You got your old man's blood in you! Now let's get out there, win this war and then you go do me proud! Congratulations, AnomanderRake - District Head of Black Bottom, Detroit."

- Monday

What felt like so much time had passed. So much had happened, the Cities had finally fallen silent of gunshots, though there was rubble and homeless laying around all over the place. Many meetings had took place between the leaders of families, the leaders of cities, City Heads with residents, even civilians were flocking to find out what was to happen next. After much discussion and decisions both being made and tossed out the window, Don Borya took to the Streets to make an announcement,

"Good evening, everybody. Obviously, we've had a very busy weekend, with lots happening. Cities have been destroyed and now Cities have been built. I'm sure you're all aware by now of the move of operations for Maledictus. The new HQ is currently under refurbishment. As you can imagine, this is just one of many things happening in Detroit right now."

Borya took a moment to clear his throat. He'd spoke so much these last few days, his voice was beginning to go, no doubt much to the joy of anyone else living in Detroit - or in the country for that matter.

"I have not had chance to make a public announcement yet, but I'm sure you're all aware, AnomanderRake set up operations in Black Bottom, Detroit, forming his family "The Mischief Makers" over the weekend. He is to be the acting District Head until such time he can take on the mighty role of Godfather. So I'd like you all to take a moment to congratulate him on this achievement. A great man which has come strength-to-strength ever since he arrived here. I know Black Bottom will thrive with him heading it."

Borya turned to look at AnomanderRake, nodding and smiling, he threw him a wink before continuing,

"Furthermore, there will be more expansion for Detroit today, but this time in the district of Downtown under me. So if you could all take a moment to also congratulate Evolve on the founding of his family Evolution."

Borya looks over at Evolve, nodding with encouragement before continuing,

"Evolve has not been seen publicly by many of you, but even during his short time with us, he has been nothing but good for the family. He certainly proved a lot of strength over this weekend and I am proud to be working alongside him in Downtown, Detroit. His family have had a lot of issues on these shores of ours, but this man truly is something else. A name very fitting, I must say, for evolution has certainly done well by Evolve. He will surely be an important part of the further greatness to come for Detroit."

"If you'd all like to join us in the usual speakeasy over in Downtown, please do so. The night is on me. Bring your wives or your mistress - or maybe both. But be sure to stop by for a drink."
