After a busy few days, Julian has to get back to the business of running his businesses. Ideas to pitch and people to meet, after all. Today's appointment with Carolyn Fisk was a long time in coming. They'd spoken briefly at a few charity events and other happenings in New York, which was where Julian had first become intrigued in the idea of working with her. She came from a wealthy family and he was also scouting out her potential for another venture down the line.

He arrived for their dinner meeting wearing his finest Black Armani suit, his metallic cane in hand and waited at their table in the most private room Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse had to offer. The wine would arrive only minutes after she does, and Julian reads a bit of the stock reports while he waits for Carolyn to make her entrance.

Christmas. Yule. Saturnalia. Dies Natalis Solis Invicti. Many cultures have celebrated and still celebrate a winter festival. There have been many names for it over the millennia. No matter the name it is a time to come together and celebrate with feasts and gifts with friends and loved ones.

Each culture has a legendary figure who would deliver gifts to children during this time. In Russia and some Slavic cultures he is known as Ded Moroz, Grandfather Frost, and comes not on Christmas but on New Year’s along with his granddaughter Snegurochka, or ‘”Snow Maiden”. In the United Kingdom and other parts of Europe he is known as Father Christmas. In the Netherlands and Belgium he is known as Saint Nicholas or “Sinterklaas” and in France he is known as Père Noël. In the United States we know him as Santa Claus.

No matter the name or who is delivering gifts, it is the season of peace, joy and togetherness. It is the season for thinking about loved ones, friends and those less fortunate. It is a time to witness the goodness and generosity the human race is capable of. It is a time for peace on Earth and goodwill toward man.

After all the work she had done to take over her rightful place as the queen of crime in New York City from her grandfather she had a lot of work to do to make sure it stay that way then start expanding out and hopefully take over the continent or the world.

In New York City now she had all of the organized crime under her heel and most of the semi organized crime given time she would have that completely under her control too. She had also taken over Fisk Industries and played the part of the grieving granddaughter perfectly. She had been looking into expanding parts of her legitimate business too, maybe into some new areas but those plans still needed more looking into.

In her more criminal enterprises she had been hiring some new people and dealing with her grandfather’s old crew some of which she kept and others she had told to run. One person of particular note was the Profiler. She didn’t particularly trust him not that she trusted anyone too much but with the information he could provide her she could plan to even great levels than before.

The building where the Kingpin currently was, was quiet.  But too quiet as to seem like something was off. Most of the lights on the lower floors of the build were out and all of the doors were unlocked. Even more strange was something was jamming communication in the building.
