The Cormac Twins

Chapter 1: And The Cradle Will Rock

It had been eighteen years since David took down the Triads, he had since been married to his older wife Stephanie Ross Cormac. Stephanie had her baby or rather babies, Claude and Joy Cormac. Known to the San Fierro underground as "The Twins". Claude had a normal upbringing, he was an active baby. He could never stay in one place unless he was eating or sleeping, he was also smart. At age three he already knew his alphabet and was already spelling words with his alphabet blocks. David retired from the police force after his children were born, he and Stephanie lived off her massive amount of wealth. David and Stephanie spoiled their two children with material possessions and love. This didn't affect Claude, he grew up to respect people, meanwhile Joy was a mean brat. When Claude and Joy were eight years old, their parents taught them how to defend themselves. David taught his children the ancient martial arts his grandfather taught him, and he taught them the basics of shooting. Stephanie honed their shooting skills into excellent marksmanship. He, unlike his sister, was friendly and polite. He made tons of friends at school, but he also had a fuse. He didn't take crap from bullies or rude people, going off on anyone who dared cross him. Joy was a bully in school. She took after her grandfather Trevor Philips inheriting his insanity. She ruled the school with an iron fist until she was expelled at 13. Joy was an exceptional singer and guitar player, and after she got expelled she started a rock back called Joy & Despair. She fell into drugs, which ended her career before it started.

Claude loved to explore the city, he became friends with a few members of The Lost MC. The two Lost members Zeke and Seth taught Claude how to work on bikes and cars, they employed him at their shop for awhile as a mechanic. They soon started using Claude to run drugs throughout the city. Meanwhile Joy was using her promiscuous nature to sleep around with different boys. Claude was 15 when he opened his own shop, he mainly worked on speeder bikes and did tune ups for hoopty cars. He still ran drugs for The Lost and even ran numbers for the Donello family. Joy had gotten pregnant at 15, her parents were furious, nonetheless David and Stephanie agreed to help raise the baby until Joy was of age. Joy had her son, she named him after David hoping to gain his favor. The twins were 18 they went directions, only to end up back together. Claude started doing hits for the Donellos, Joy got kicked out of the house. She went to work as a stripper to feed her three year old son, after killing a patron who touched her inappropriately Joey Donello noticed her. The Don's son hired Joy as a hitman as well, she met Claude at a sit down where the Don nicknamed them the twins.

At Cormac's motor repair, Claude was wrenching on a clunker. The radio was tuned into San Fierro Classic Rock. "And The Cradle Will Rock" by Van Halen played through the speakers while Claude wad taking the manifold off the old junk Declasse Tornado. Joy walked in the garage, she stood 5'11" and weighed 136 pounds, her skin was slightly tan and she had a dancer's body with D cup breasts, she wore a black tank, skin tight blue jeans, heeled boots and a black leather jacket. Her brown hair was down to her shoulders, she had inherited her mothers looks exactly. Claude looked like David, except he had his mother's hair color. Claude stood 6'3" and weighed 189 pounds, with dark brown hair and blue eyes. His skin was slightly tan, his build was average but muscular, he wore a dirty black/brownish leather jacket, dark blue jeans, white t shirt, white socks, and black and white canvas sneakers. She looked at her brother who was working on the car. "Hey grease monkey." She said with a smile. Claude looked up at his sister, she smiled seeing her brother and she approached him. "Nice tune." She remarked as Van Halen played. "What's up?" He asked her. "This isn't work related, figured I'd have a beer with my only brother." Joy replied. She was mean to Claude when they were little, but grew to respect him as they got older. Claude opened the fridge and grabbed two bottles of ice cold Pisswasser, he opened them up and handed one to his younger twin. She looked around at his projects as she drank, Claude had a lot of things to keep him busy.

His parents funded the opening of his garage, he used his ill gotten gains to pay them back. Now he used his money made from hits and drug running to keep his garage funded and beer in his fridge. Joy still stripped for money to make her look like a legitimate working girl, she used the ,money made from her job to pay her bills and feed her son, and the money she made from her job as a contract killer she used for drugs. Claude started selling drugs out of his garage, which was one of the reasons Joy stopped over, he took her upstairs into his apartment above the garage. They sat at the table where Claude had two lines of coke on a mirror sitting on his table, he snorted a line with a fifty dollar bill and handed it to Joy. She snorted the line and sat the mirror down, Claude looked at his sister and smiled. "Premium stuff, it's 150 a gram." He told her. "Why so high?" She asked him. "Because it's more potent than the stuff you'll find anywhere in the city, I got it personally from a Columbian warehouse." Claude replied. Joy handed him the money, Claude gave her two grams and they walked back downstairs. Claude's phone rang and he answered it. "Yeah?" Claude asked into the phone. "We got a job, it's a big one. Bring that firecracker sister of yours and get over to the restaurant." The voice replied before hanging up the phone. Claude looked at Joy and nodded, knowing what was up the got into Claude's Vapid Dominator. Claude started the car, he put it in first and sped out of the garage down the streets of San Fierro.
