Anomander leaned back in his large leather chair and smiled to himself as he swallowed a mouthful of Kentucky Bourbon, Don Borya sat beside him. Cigar smoke filled the air as the two men looked over the map of Detroit which lay spread before them on the large desk. The map had been stuck with three pins; two in the downtown area and a third in the BlackBottom neighbourhood.

"So, we are agreed?" Borya asked, rolling a fourth pin between thumb and forefinger and looking over at his friend.

Anomander continued studying the map, scanning over the Blackbottom area, street by street. His finger came down on a block in the heart of the steel-working district.

"He can set up here. I know of a building that will suit his needs. It's roughly halfway between our own two headquarters so he will have ample protection while he gets his house in order and the extra presence in that area will strengthen our control over the unions. In a couple of months, Henry Ford won't be able to take a piss without our permission."

The two men laughed, clinking glasses as Borya pushed the pin into place. It was decided then. Anomander got up from behind the desk and went to his office door. Peaking out, he waved over the man who had been sitting patiently outside. HooLZ stepped past him into the office and Anomander closed the door behind him, walking over to the bar and pouring the newcomer a drink. Offering it to him, he raised his own glass to HooLZ, then to Borya and drank.

"Take a look at the map, HooLZ. What do you see?"

HooLz tilted his head to side slightly, his sharp eyes moving over the scene quickly despite the awkward angle.

"It's Detroit, obviously. Two pins in Downtown representing the heart of our interests there, with two more in Blackbottom. One representing your headquarters here, the other...the other is in the heart of the steel working district, between the Ford and GM factories, but I don't see it's connection to the other three."

Anomander rested a hand on the man's shoulder as the two of them looked at the fourth pin. Borya looked up at HooLZ in silence, a smile creeping across his face.

"The fourth pin is you, HooLZ. Or rather, your new base of operations here in Blackbottom. We have a need to solidify our position here in Detroit and neither of us could think of a more deserving candidate among us. You've been with us from the start. You've worked with us loyally for a long time. You worked side by side with our fathers before that. It's time we honoured that loyalty."

Borya stood, winking at Anomander as HooLZ stared down at his little pin, unresponsive.

"I had a fair idea who you might be bringing with you, so I hope you don't mind me inviting them along for the announcement."

HooLZ eyebrows furrowed at this, but a soft creak in the door behind him stole his attention and he turned to see Mercedes_Kompressor and Paranoid stepping into the room with big grins on their faces.

Thank you Borya and AnomanderRake for giving me this opportunity!
Looking forward working together and making Detroit even better!

HooLZ raises his glass,

Salute!

Paranoid enters the office with a nervous smile upon his face. Looking around the room and seeing how happy people look calms his nerves as he grabs a glass and leans against the wall.

Gentlemen, I won't take too much of your time this evening. I only wanted to pop in to show my appreciation for your acknowledgement of the work HooLZ has done in Detroit. I look forward to working closely with you all in detroit, specifically here in Black Bottom with you AnomanderRake.

Paranoid finishes his drink and steps forward to shake hands with Borya, AnomanderRaker, HooLZ and Mercedes_Kompressor.

She bows her head in respect to HooLZ as he makes his way through the throngs of people congratulating him and smiles as she looks into his eyes.

My mother liked you, she said you showed great potential. Good luck sir, I hope that you and yours get all that you want and need. I hope that we can work together in the near future.

She hands the newly appointed leader in Detroit a box of her special recipe cookies and pats him on the shoulder.
