Dance With The Devil

12) Initiation

Three Months Later/ N.Y. ClubHouse

Thomas- We are surrounded by the family...all of us in the Brotherhood and Sisterhood.

Abel- I look between the couple. "Ghost, your three month probation period is up and as you have stayed out of trouble in that time...you are off the hook, though be warned don't do anything so stupid again!"

Brian- (Nods Understandingly) "Yes Raven."

Abel- (Nods) "Now Sally Retro...raise your right hand."

Sal- I raise my right hand.

Abel- "Do you Salvatore Anthony Vulcano vow to uphold our Law?"

Sal- "I do."

Abel- "Do you Salvatore Anthony Vulcano know what the Law is?"

Sal- "I do."

Abel- "Recite it word for word."

Sal- "1) Respect.

2) Honor.

3) Loyalty.

4) No Brother or Sister gets left behind.

5) Brothers and Sisters are *Encouraged* to share their influence with others.

6) Brothers and Sister are *Not* to speak ill of each other to anybody.

Abel- "Do you Salvatore Anthony Vulcano vow to keep our secrets and give up your life for family?"

Sal- "I do."

Abel- "Do you Salvatore Anthony Vulcano know our code?"

Sal- "I do."

Abel- "Tell me it, word for word."

Sal- "Make no mistake.
I will defend my Brothers and Sisters.
I will defend the weak.
I will defend our way of life.
I will bring the fight to your home to keep you out of mine.
I will pursue relentlessly all who threaten my people.
I will sacrifice so that others may live.
I am a citizen. I am an American.
I am a soldier. I am a sheepdog.
If you strike me or those like me-
You will lay upon the earth
Until you are buried in it."

Abel- (Smiles Proudly) "You may lower your hand."

Sal- I lower my hand.

Thomas- I hand Sally Retro a black leather SOA vest.

Sal- I take the offered vest.

Abel- "Congratulations new initiate, welcome to the Brotherhood. Wear that vest proudly."

Sal- I quickly slide the vest on. (Smiles) Everyone claps and cheers.

Brian- I wrap my arms around Sal's waist. "Congratulations babe." I lean slightly giving him a kiss.

Sal- (Hums) "Thanks." It's official, I'm not just a family member. I'm now a member of the Brotherhood.
