[b]Akron - The Consortium of Ohio.
[/b]

Bernardo sat near a restaurant in Akron, looking over the destroyed streets of the city. It had been centuries since the great war but the memories were still there. He grew up in this city the smell of pure air in the morning still ringed in his brain he began his career of crime, here first by just some childhood thefts, and then he grew poverty was hard so he stole, killed, contraband, and created his own gang, and then the bombs fell when the memory hit him he took a sigh, and once again saw the cracked streets he survived and lived for 200 years he soon took a cigar from the pockets of his suit.

As he sat on his chair soon approached a waiter, another ghoul just like him, he then said “anything you wish Mr. Bernado?” Bernardo then said “nothing, I am just here in business” “business?” He cut, almost immediately, gunshots could be heard on the other side of the street, Bernardo then gestured for him to get inside the Ghoul then rushed inside as the shots ringed Bernardo lighted up the cigar.

Looking over the building where the shooting was happening he then saw someone leave the front door and begin running taking a puff of smoke out he quickly pulled an N99 10mm Pistol quickly pointing towards the men and opening fire as the men soon collapsed as the barrel smoked he laid the gun on the table and took another puff of smoke from the cigar as the shots finally stopped he raised from his chair grabbing the gun and hiding away beneath his coat leaving a few caps by the table and walked towards the building.

As he approached several men with Tommy guns came out, pulling someone out and throwing him to the floor Bernardo then said “the others are dead?” the man gave nods with a sigh he then said. “fucking hell Robert have you gone out of your mind?” He extinguished the cigar, crushing it with his hand and the man remained silent.

Bernardo then said “you know the rules never sell advanced weapons to possible threats to the Consortium and you ignored it even to the point of planning my own demise” the man stood still in silence Bernardo sighed and said “shooting him already” a man quickly pulled a revolver and opened fire as Bernado looked he then said as the group began to leave “I wished dealing with rebellious garrisons would be less of a hassle” as he walked with his man as he got close to the end of the broken road he saw a car sitting in a dirt road.

Beside the vehicle, there was a man as Bernardo approached he then said “any news from Cleveland? and my project? the man then said, opening the door. “Well Rosemarie has called the council.” Bernardo entered the car sitting in the passenger seat. He then said “great reform is coming… and the project with House Ziermeman and Bruno? the men then said entering the driver seat “both launched the expedition northeast if we are lucky the area of New England and Ronto turns out to be very profitable once the trade area is set”

Bruno gave a nod and pondered what Rosemarie planned. She has been in charge for a year and now she wants to start something big as the car begins its bumpy ride north back to Cleveland as the car drove Bruno sighed. He knew what most likely would be the reason for the call.
