As the sun was settling over the city of Chicago a few of the more powerful mobsters of the city were making their way to an unknown location. It was that time of the month again where they all sat down in order to discuss business. Because of the high risk of gatherings like this no one except the one they called MonsterHair knew the location before hand. Everyone else got the location an hour before the meeting was to start. MonsterHair had always been a man of high vigilance, which was most likely why it was him arranging for meetings like this and not some other schlub.

It had been a busy month since last time and there sure was plenty of stuff to be discussed. It would take time and hopefully no one would lose their temper as Orange did last time. When being questioned by LawnMover he had stood up ripping his shirt open while ponding his hairy chest yelling for LawnMovers head. It had been a most hilarious scene as his belly flopped up and down while he slapped his chest. No one dared to smile though as the man was known to dispose of people he had a beef with gruesomely. It had taken them all an hour to calm him down so the meeting could proceed.

The first one to enter the room was boobi. She had always been the most reliable person around MonsterHair. It was also the reason she had climbed so quickly up the ladder and become his right hand, his next in command. She gave the Godfather Chairman a nod and sat down next to him by the table. After that they all started pouring in, crewleaders and right hands from all over Chicago. MonsterHair was about to start speaking when he saw a chair sitting empty. After he quick headcheck he quickly noticed it to be Gaston. The fucker was late as always. Probably from checking himself out in the mirror a few hundred times before being able to go out in public. The mans punctuality had always been a problem but his knowledge and ability to get things done had outshined it. So he stayed alive, for now.

When everyone was gathered MonsterHair stood up and greeted everyone welcome with a smile.

“- Welcome everybody. We have a fair few things to discuss so lets do that before we dig in and drink. We don’t want a rerun of last time do we Orange?”

The Godfather of South Side didn’t look pleased but this far no one had stood up to MonsterHair, questioning him, without getting fitted with cement shoes. So he let it slide.

“- Lets get this show on the road. First up is the events transpiring in New York”

MonsterHair laid out what had happened together with concerns and business opportunities. Everyone listened carefully waiting for their chance to impress the big guy with input and thoughts. When he was done a lively discussion followed. It took them nearly an hour to end it and come to a conclusion. Looking at his piece of paper with notes for the meeting only one thought came to his mind. “Fuck… This will take forever”

For the next couple of hours they discussed everything from heaven to earth. All having Chicago’s best in interest. It was important stuff so everyone tried to stay focused, but it was getting harder as the sun had gone a long time ago. MonsterHair looked at his watch and noticed they wouldn’t get this meeting finished before sunrise for sure. That would mean no sleep this night either. One of the perks of being in his position, you get to experience every minute of the day plenty.

“- …we need to get rid of that monkey.” With that sentence boobi ended the second last topic of the meeting. Everyone nodded and was in agreement. He had to go before things got worse. MonsterHair smiled as he looked down on his notes for the last time this morning. The sunbeams had started to find their way through the window. It didn’t matter though. Everyone would finish this meeting drunk and happy. It was just a matter of time now. MonsterHair gave bobbi the nod to continue. She stood up as she started to speak.

“- We have come to a place where it’s time for us to expand our business. North Side has been closed down for far too long and we need someone to make life hell for the pigs. We have someone in mind, someone that has been with us working hard for Chicagos best ever since the start. Someone I’ve been working closely with since before the end of The Chosen Men. It’s been a pleasure and I’m sure North Side is going to be in great hands. What do you say The_XX? Are you ready for an adventure of hard work and loyalty? If so North Side is yours to guide!”

Everyones eyes turned to The_XX as they waited for a reply, all of them knowing there would be no need for time to think about the question being presented. Everyone knew The_XX would jump at the opportunity making Chicago proud.

I stood two paces behind Gaston's right shoulder as he and the other Chicago big wigs chundered through the current affairs of the underworld and what was made of the events that had transpired across the country. He listened with one ear as he already knew most of the situation. The other ear was open to one of the Capo's from his own family catching him up on the new members of The Charming Men. 

As he heard his name mentioned, he waved away _OM_ from his ear and took a step forward into the circle. Orange looked up from his drink to see what was happening but quickly looked back to it. 

Ladies and gents I have worked with you all for a great deal of time now. Before Chicago when we still lived on The Strip I served you and since moving North to 'Cago I have enjoyed every minute of working with you and getting to know you far better than our ancestors ever did although Im almost certain they were aware of each other. There is nothing that could give me greater pleasure than to step up among you and take control of the North Side. 

Its been an honor serving Gaston. A charmer till the end and my god what a stunning man. I'd like him to be the first to come visit me in the North Side so I can welcome him to my new HQ....The Island. 

He placed his hand on Gaston's shoulder and took half a pace back from the group. 

Everyone started mumbling and whispering to each other. bobbi shot a big smile in the way of The_XX. This was lovely news for all of Chicago. North Side could get no one better to guide them for what hopefully was a very long future.

"- Lovely news indeed. Do us proud and well deserved! Lets celebrate..."

bobbi take a bottle of champagne and opened it accidentally shooting it in LawnMovers direction who had to duck behind the nearest chair. This morning was time for celebration. The announcement would be made later on. 

In the ever changing world, a sweet wind had caressed Chicago. As Dolph stood admits the crowd, engulfed in cheers of glee for their Chicago brethren The_XX.

_{I believe it were you that extended your hand after the fall of my beautiful family. I thank you for ushering me into a home that I feel most befitting of myself with the Most Charming of Men. I can say not only am I proud to see your hard work honored but also proud to know that you are Most deserving.} 

Dolph brandishes a champagne glass as to partake of the glorious celebration.

_{I say CHEERS mate, my charming fellow, and an ode to the bright future under your guidance. May the Gods bless Chicago forever.}
