It’s time lost... three years of it thrown to the wind. While the ranks closed in, a part was missing in the Kovali’s well-oiled machine. The eldest son sat behind bars, one disastrous evening costing both freedom and reputations with a single fell swoop. That all changed... Rafal Kovali wasn’t a sentimental man, compassion coming with strings attached and a bigger picture painted. When the idea rolled into his head, it offered potential.
(ONE) Good Graces: Welcome home your fallen son, bring him into the fold and quell any possible doubts with a homecoming that rivaled anything the city had seen. He was, after all, your flesh and blood. And loyalty was demanded of those that carried your name.
(TWO) An Olive Branch: It’s not something Chicago was used to, an open invitation, as if it was a peace offering extended in a sealed envelope. The remainder of the five families, the reporters that ran your name through the mud... let them see your family rise from the ashes like it always did. In full force, in full strength. Maybe in close proximity, those bold enough to call themselves the faction will be reminded of just who you are. The influence and power you possessed.
The plans moved into motion, a familiar setting hosting the most unlikely gathering. All that was left was setting off the spark for fires forged...
