Minarika sat at the docks of philly. Sitting alone as she stared out at the sky. Sunny and bright with a cool breeze she kept her mask down. She was thinking about the past. Her travels, she had returned from japan after working with the yakuza. She leaned back in the grass before long she had shut her eyes. Thinking of the life she lost when her mother died. She had to return to carry on her work. She sighed softly before a soft cough was heard. 

Turning her head Minarika saw Mr_Cat next to her. Mr_Cat spoke with a soft voice, but strong. "We have to talk."

Minarika sat up and spoke in a soft tone to the leader. "Whats up sir?"

Mr_Cat smiled and spoke. "Well I wanted to let you know you are needed by Falcone. So might want to head over now." Minarika sat and talked about the weather for a few minutes and then respectfully bowed and took her leave. Heading back to HQ and to her leaders office. Sitting there they talked before she was given the go ahead. "Head on out. You got the arrangement to head out." She had her heart set. Her mother would have been proud but she was proud of herself. With one last handshake she left for Detroit. 

Stepping off the plane she stared out at the location she was to set up and rolled up her sleeves. Planning to start by herself. She had sent a message to her friend Roper about the move. She had set up and started collecting jobs for new members to do when she received a call at her desk. Picking up the phone she heard her pal RichardSnow speaking. "I know you didn't need anyone with you at first. But since you have talked and asked Shiki. We allow them to come along. As a welcome to Detroit. Good luck out there and make us proud." Once the call was done she sighed. Back to work with her. She stayed busy until late, falling asleep at her desk after the days tasks were finished. Welcoming her pal Shiki to the HQ.

She woke up to a knock at the entrance. Walking to the main door she opened it and collected a paper from the paper boy. Looking through the papers she saw the Obits. Gripping the paper she shook her head and went to the office putting it on the desk. "This crew is always walking the path. The path that we see and have set. We follow it and do not look back."

She took another breath to calm herself. "We do what we can, we are here but the same time not. The darkness is when we see the time to see old friends. The Manor of Shadows, is who we are. We do our work." She smiled and sat on her desk. "I am here to make sure that I can help those old and new learn and make friends. But also learn to accept the past as it is."

She smiled and pulled her hair back and spoke again. "Time to get to work are you ready Shiki, and Roper?"

Shiki was walking when minarika seemed to be calling, he was in the office doing some work for falcone, wondering if he could leave someday.

"Shiki, it's for you!" Falcone called, as shiki was looking up, he then got up and walk over taking the phone.

"Hello?" Shiki asked, feeing nervous.

"Hello Shiki, how would you like to come work with me, where you feel a little more in charge, reason I'm asking is because, I would like you to become my Left Hand Man, if you don't mind? Minarika asked.

"Uh.. sure, I don't have much experience, but i could learn, I would love to have that honor." Shiki said, feeling excited.

"Alright, well, pack tonight, you are leaving in the morning." She said, just shiki almost yelled in excitement.

A few minutes after he had gotten off the phone, shiki felt so excited, while he was packing to set up under his new CL, he thought about all the greatness he could do for her.

"Shiki, We need to talk." Falcone said, knocking on the door.

"Come in." He said, back.

"I want you to know that, I'm very proud of your hard work, and you will do great, and if you have any questions just ask me, or of course your new Crew leader." He said, opening up the door to give shiki his blessing

tris was just walking out of the coffee shop across the street from what used to be an abandoned building. It was rebuilt and looked very nice on the outside

"Congratz Minarika. I have high hopes that you will do great things as we continue to build this fine city"

Gavin had found a nice tree to nap in, it was a beautiful day so why not spend it outside...asleep? it made sense to him. He didn't pick this tree just because it was nice outside, it had a great view of the building being remade. he was interested always interested in those who came to his city, especially when they were nearly neighbors. If the wind was right he could throw a playing card from the top of his roof and hit the new HQ.

Half falling half jumping out of the tree Gavin heads to the new building where everyone is standing outside. Yawning he draws attention to himself, holding the yawn long enough to look over the people in front of him he grins. He knew the people standing before him, walking over he stares at the building the sakura trees were a nice touch.

Turning back to the new faces he smiles and shakes Shiki and @Ropers hands, turning to Minarika he snatches a rose of out of the air and gives it to her.

"welcome to the city and district. i look forward to working with you."

Shiki looks over at the male Gavin, feeling confused, as to why the poor man would be there, but he shugged it off, and went to talk to the body guards, to let him in, he might need ot talk.

"welcome to the city and district. i look forward to working with you."

"Thank you, I hope that in the future that if you have advice, that would be great, haha, but I hope we can become great friends.

Minarika stood infront of the Building after it was all built up. Turning around she watched Coltrane come over and congratulate her. She nodded and smiled, "Thank you. I hope to be as you think." She Smiles as cotrane went on his way and went back to work.

With a sudden surpise she turned and looked at Tris as she spoke. "Thank you Tris, I hope to work along side you as the city grows." She spent a few minutes talking and then shook hands before being left alone. Walking to Shiki and Roper she spoke to them about other jobs needing to be done... She had turned and looked at Gavin_Guile as he came across the way to welcome them to downtown. With a smile as he welcomed and greeted. She was surprised by the sudden rose and accepted it. "Thank you gavin. And I hope we will be seeing each other more in the streets and around the buisness's.
