Gonna tell it straight how I see it. You can tell me I know nothing, cause I don't know anything.
It sounds like you want to be able to RP it out with E having an active criminal role, a sizeable one at that. To put it away, it seems like, means E isn't the character she's developed into for you. Also, it's not fun for you if she does give it up. Yet, at the moment you can't because there's no one RPing with E being the underlings, posse, etc.
I think you made that first step to what I was going to suggest which is just spend the time OOC to build E's syndicate since it seems a little hard to try and do it ICly. Maybe someone's willing to double cross their old group because E pays more... or she's more ruthless than their old boss... or she proves to be more competent than the old one etc.
