As the black Cadillac drives up to the club Gene finishes his glass of bourbon before seating himself in the booth. Loading his favorite pistol, he sets it down on the table. As his goon walks in White Mask walks behind. “Please sit down, we have much to discuss.” Noticing his goon bloodied and beaten he walks up to him and asks him if he’s alright. He whispers something to his second hand man and then they walk off with the hurt man. ”Sorry about the extra security. People grow anxious at a face they can’t see. People gain comfort and satisfaction when they are able to identify a criminal. Your mysterious and outgoing, I enjoy that.” The calm piano music playing softly in the background with the smoke filled room acting as a seductive counter to Gene’s voice.

As Gene fixes his tie he looks to the camera and smiles. The LED screen within the car would be taken over momentarily while they were driving. ”Hello, I’m going to be upfront and straight forward. I’m Gene Smith and I’ve been keeping an eye on you. Well.. the passenger that is. See when you’re like me you take interest in people who can make an impact. You are now on my radar White Mask, come to the Chairman. I’d love to have a chat. And don’t think about running when you reach your destination, my boys are waiting for you.”

I’m just being a dink.

That raises even more of a problem. Why ban one type of weapon and leave every other weapon available. That’s like cutting yourself a slice of cake but then eating the rest of it. It’s more useful to ban all gun, and even then people would revolt.

You spelled sticks wrong.

@Norway174 The corruption they seem to keep referring to is when I was departing from Identity and before I left I opened up a criminal organization. I came back and retracted the idea stating that it wasn't what I wanted to do. Yet @BrianHamilton and @FrancePourLaVie set out to "expose me" Now while Brian apologized and left it in the past this person continues with attempting to slander me. When I told Frank Luprano I was happy that such an old organization was still here they pounced on me. And then for some reason they still see me as completely corrupt. Sure I've had opportunities to become corrupt but I never took them. I'm sorry for causing an even bigger argument in your thread Norway. I'm gonna leave it be now, regardless of what's said by the all righteous France.

"In one ear and out the other" eh? Is that your new campaign slogan too? "FrancePourLaVie, I won't listen to anything you have to say. But I'll expect you to listen to every word I say." You're extremely unfit to do anything let alone become a political figure. That's absolutely absurd that you try and slander everybody you absolute hypocrite.

He also went and accused me multiple times. Just a Fire looking for air so it can spread. Just leave him to making conspiracy theories that nobody cares about.

As Martin was dragged out of the his club Gene heard something coming from the TV. As he looks over it's a man in a White Mask and another man driving in a car. "What are you watching?" "Oh! Sorry sir, I just wanted to see what happened next." "It's alright, what are you watching?" "Uh, he calls himself The White Mask, he's sort of a vigilante kinda guy I guess." Gene looks at the man, smiling he turns to his worker. "I'd like to meet him. Send some boys over to the other end of the island. Make sure he doesn't get away. Oh and Charlie, try and get someone who can disrupt the show, I want to make myself known." Gene takes a swig of his bourban before walking into his office. As he sits down he realizes that the link has already been established. "How wonderful, technology really has advanced."

For some reason they have a problem with everybody. France and Brian are some of the worst people I've ever seen on this site. And France for your information I was in the discord but left because of spam and people like yourself. And before you say "Because I expose people like you." It's because I don't like you. I won't like you and never have liked you. You have been nothing but a constant reminder as to why we don't vote for people like you. Why we will never support you. And you are the reason people don't like coming on the site because you are annoying and judgmental about absolutely everything. Keep Brian in check while you're at it. I know you two are friends.

Are you referring to me or the others?

"I think that if we ban automatic rifles, pistols, and shot guns I do really think we will have a safer society" Now Mr. Hetch I'm so glad you decided to come back. But banning guns won't change anything. Gun aren't the problem, it's the people who carry them. Banning guns only gives people the incentive to find new ways to kill. Take away a mans eating utensils he'll resort to using his hands.

What it is Lucious, is my plan as governor.

That's for me to know and you to find out Lucious

The thrill of crime comes from evading the police. Without laws to stop crime it wouldn't be crime. Just frowned upon activities.

Crime is what people do when they have no other option. I don't enact Justice that's for the police to do. But crime is like a weed, you kill one and it grows back. But cut of its source of life it dies off.

It's all about the process of elimination.

You can if you do it right

Ah damn, I could've used that couldn't I have. I was in the heat of the moment and that's all I could think of.

Extreme measure leads to extreme outcomes. When you take a gun away from a shooter he doesn't stop killing. He looks for the next best weapon. Crime is something I've been focused on for most of my campaign. No disrespect but your plan is trying to put a dent in crime, not stop it.

Absolutely not. I encourage you to say things like that. It gives me a better understanding of what you think of me so I can better explain my intentions. I took no offense to any of what you said. And ideas are plentiful in my head. Just finding a good way to execute them is the hard part.

As much as it pains me to say this. But there are much better ways to rid a criminal organization than to befriend them. Perhaps make laws pertaining to what crimes they commit or simply have them be a top priority. Politics and Crime go together as well as mint gun and cold water. It does nothing but hurt the innocent.

Oh but of course. I have to rely simply on the basis of trust. In this case that's all I have. But wannabe is far from what I'd call myself.

To @ThomasHetch, of course you're not a communist. Mainly something I said in a flurry of passion. But I don't doubt that debates will be some of the most thrilling now that you're back. And to the members of The Luprano Family. I've known Frank for as long as I've been on these forums. He and I have a mutual agreement of understandings. No disrespect was meant towards any of you, and we've already discussed things in a private format. Thank you everybody for your time.

Good to have you back on the forum. I'm excited to see you return to your character.
