The Lau Family Thread

If not a grave...opportunity.

The plane had barely landed when Chi had zipped off towards her apartment. Well moreso the apartment she had shared. It was however the place that felt home. Her brain was racing with thoughts and questions. The past months had sped past her. Meetings, tense discussions, training, business dealings had all been mashed in at a ridiculous speed.

She had arrived in China months previously to talk to her superior, Lin but she had left the day before with advice from her now equal, Lin. At first, Chi was sure she was going to see the end of a gun barrel but was surprised. Her superiors were impressed with her work, the families reunited, the opium trading opened into the city, etc had proven her worth amongst the elders. Her sworn family, handpicked for their honor, had also become known to them. The Lau name held some weight. Expecting a grave, Chi was instead given the gift of opportunity.

For years all activity of the Four Seas Order had been under Lin Sihai (and the rest of the Sihai family). A council had been called and a new family had been added to the list of possible elder families. Probationary, of course. A chance to prove itself however - great things were expected of the Lau Family to earn its place. The assignment: to go back and prove why the Lau's deserved this chance in the first place.

The plane was wrought with doubt and deep thoughts. When she had left the Lau Family was less than...at its strongest. Lau had taken a break from the family to focus on other things, Jin.. would he even be interested in taking part in such a thing. Jamal was as always vibin. Jonny, Tommy, William… their status’ was unknown. What would she be coming back home to? What would she be able to bring together. Given great opportunity also brought great responsibility...and consequences should they not deliver on their good faith.

Driving around she reacquainted herself with the city, checking her stashes to ensure they were intact, checking the labs to see who had been doing business with her contacts there, and trying to get a feel for the pulse of the city. She was surprised… the city felt a little less...like home. That would have to be fixed overtime. Sitting at the Noodle House roof she called to see if she could get a hold of Jin. Unfortunately her timing was not great and instead sent off a message his way..

Everything would have to be on hold until she could coordinate a family meeting. The options were wide open for everyone. The elders didn’t care whether through legal business, sly moves, ventures, or less “official” measures success was attained. Just that excellence and success were attained. Honor came with hard work. Success was success. The Lau Family would have to talk about these developments and what they wanted to do -if anything in response.
