The last few days had been terrible with all the boxes moving in and out of the Perfect Storm HQ.

Godfather Prati was at the window, in Don Mickey_Bowers office, looking outside, smoking his cigar.

"Sir, Monique is downstairs." A bodyguard told him.

Prati sighed.

Without taking his gaze from outside the window, he replied "Both an amazing day I was longing for a while, and such a sad day as well. Perfect Storms will never be the same..."

Prati took another deep breath and went downstairs, gestured to Monique to follow him and they got outside.

"Are you ready?" he whispered.

Monique nodded, a bit nervously.

"Don't worry, you'll do great" he continued.

Prati faced the crowd that had gathered for the occasion. 

"Dear entrepreneurs of the six cities, I am pleased to announce that Monique will be setting up under me in the North Side. She has worked wonderfully for this district and she truly deserves the nod. I look forward to see this district and this beautiful city, getting better and better and she is the right person for that."

He then cleared his throat and whispered to Monique "welcome to a lifelong process of listening to me about excelence and my OCD on perfectionism. If you need counseling, I hear that Don Yeah has a great therapist"

He winked at Monique and continued "The floor is yours Consiglieri Monique"

It’s a bitter/sweet moment as Monique stands to address her partners in crime.

Good evening all.  I’ve been entrusted with a great responsibility today.  I’ve looked forward to this opportunity for quite some time.   Over time I have been taught so many things by so many great leaders and comrades and kept them in a treasure chest of knowledge.  My ancestors have no real legacy other than hard and loyal workers.

As my dear friend Mickey_Bowers has business in the old country to handle I know it will be hard to fill his shoes but I intend to do my best.

This thing of our is all about family.  It takes all kinds of personalities to make up the family.  I have deiced to name the crew The Bad, Bold and Beautiful.

The bad  meaning dope, good, tight.

The bold meaning something that is truly excellent or praiseworthy.

Beautiful - delighting the senses or mind:

Thank you Godfather Prati for entrusting me with this responsibility.   With your help and guidance I feel confident.

I look forward to working with the other cities in making this thing of ours great for all.

Romance watched from afar as the newly appointed crew chief Monique accepted her position.... the bad, the bold, the beautiful indeed.... he hung on every word she spoke.... The bad meaning dope, good, tight.... ah yes.... tight was bad... bad as in good. The bold... Monique looked bold indeed, bold in her beauty.... bringing us full circle to beautiful.... delighting to the senses......... Romance could feel his own senses becoming delighted as he looked upon her wishfully........ he wished her well... he wished her all the luck in the world in her new endeavors.... he would prepare a gift for her...... Romance undressed and tied a bow around himself.... slowly emerging from the distance.....

Congrats monique , it will be great working with you .. Yeah shakes her hand.. 

Mr. Hair was standing a few yards away from the crowd and listened to his old friend announcing his new auth. Monique was looking fabulous in her new outfit.

"Man, they sure are getting younger.." Mr. Hair thought to himself, unsure if this was really true or merely an effect of his progressing age.

When Monique was done introducing her new family, the Godfather approached her and gave her a kiss on the forehead.

"Congratulations Monique, I wish you all the best and am looking forward to working with you in this fine city of ours."

​​​Boobie_Clark approached after the Chairman MonsterHair, to congratulate his New Boss.

Congratulations Don Monique! And thank you for allowing me to continue this journey with you. 

After lending a helping hand moving tons of boxes, most filled with carrots obviously, Wraith headed over to congratulate North Sides newest leader.

"Well done to you Monique. Good luck in your new venture and we are only around the corner if you need any help. I look forward to seeing what you can achieve in your new role."

Noticing Prati heading back to the Carrot HQ, he wished Bex luck in her new role too before heading back alongside the cities Godfather. It was a bright day for North Side even if there was some sadness that came from it. Turning a negative into a positive was the best way to push through and show what can be achieved.

"I bid you farewell for now, I know you are both gonna have an extremely busy few days ahead of you with unpacking, along with the celebratory drinks of course"

Darkwing listened as Godfather Prati and Don Monique made their announcement that Monique would be setting up. He waiting a little while for the crowd around Don Monique to get a little smaller then shuffled his way up to the front

"Congratulations Don Monique! You have been very kind to me since I arrived here as a gangster, so thank you. I am sure you will make a wonderful leader for your new crew and our city."

Surrounded by people who celebrated and congratulated Don Monique, she grinned as she lifted her glass. Turning to Monique, she nodded. "Monique, congratulations on your new opportunity. I am so humbled and grateful that you chose me and trusted me on this journey with you, I will not let you down." She lifted her glass, smiling at the new boss. "Let's do this." She winked, taking a sip of her champagne as she joined the celebrations.

Don Monique, has an excellent ring to it, it does...i m not surprised & i shouldn't be for my knowledge on your potential comes from the ancestral history between us. I wanna wish you the very best and please know, like the rest of your friends i'd be honored if i could be of service at any time.
