Chapter 1
To Live or Die in LS

The plane began to descend into the sparkling city of Los Santos. Aleksander looked across his partner and out the window, his eyes sparkling as he gazed down upon the city of dreams. As he inspected the skyline, the plane shuddered from turbulence causing him to fall roughly on his girlfriend, Madeleine. She awoke with a start, swearing as she adjusted in her seat.

"What the fuck Alek?" she demanded angrily as he pushed himself off her and back into his seat. He laughed and kissed her forehead as he pointed out the window. Turning around she looked down at the city and smiled, twisting in her seat to try and see the rest of the city.

"We will be landing in just a few minutes babe, and then we will go to the hotel." commented Alek as he started packing away his stuff and sliding his bag under the seat. With a jolt, a hiss and sudden stillness, the plane landed and taxied to gate A113. Alek got up out of his seat quickly to grab the rest of his and Madeleine's bags before exiting the plane before anyone could stop them. Alek whistled a taxi and loaded all the bags in. Getting in, he asked the driver where they could find a good hotel at a reasonable price.

"I can take you guys around to the Vinewood hills unless that's a little much. There is a nice place near the Maze Bank that might work out for you." Alek agreed to go to the hotel near the Maze Bank, and after unloading all of the luggage, both of them walked in the lobby. The lobby was simply breathtaking, both the floors and the pillars were white marble and the tables were made of mahogany. After they got a room, and moved their luggage in, they both collapsed on the bed, too tired to do anything but take off their shoes and shirts and slip under the blankets.

The next morning at roughly 7 AM, several gunshots rang out on the street below, bringing Alek back to Earth with a heart stopping shock. Running to the window, he looked out to see several people crouching behind cars with guns pointed at another crew, all wearing the same color of green with a star splashed across their cars. Squinting, he was able to notice a peculiar insignia on their jackets, something that looked like six straight lines forming some kind of a three sided hexagon. Closing the blinds just enough that he had to peek out between them, he watched the two gangs duke it out on the street below. After what seemed like half an hour, though it was probably only three or four minutes, the police arrived and both crews scattered, leaving tire marks and dead cops in their wake.

Chuckling quietly to himself, Alek went back to Madeleine who looked quite calm after the shootout. Wrapping her in his arms, he planted a kiss on her cheek before closing his eyes and going back to sleep. Madeleine lay awake in his arms for a few minutes thinking about what had just happened on the street below before throwing back the covers and going to take a bath. Madeleine watched the water fill the tub, before throwing off her clothing and sliding into the warm water with a contented sigh.

Madeleine soaked in her bubble bath for about an hour, before drying herself off and going to get her boyfriend. She sat down cross-legged on the bed in her bra and some jean shorts and watched Alek sleep, trying to decide how to wake him. Finally she leaned over and pinched her fingers over his nose, causing him to wake suddenly, gasping for air and staring around. Madeleine laughed and jumped off the bed before he could get her and threw on a pink plaid button-down shirt and slipping into some short heels. Alek crawled out of bed and into the shower. After showering and ruffling up his hair, he threw on a pair of khaki cargo shorts with a white belt and a purple and silver checked shit. Reaching into their one piece of checked luggage, Alek pulled out two pistols and tossed one to Madeleine before sliding his into his belt. Madeleine stowed hers carefully in the front of her shorts, careful to have the shirt cover the handle of this pistol.

Laughing and walking downstairs, they passed through the front doors and out into the sunny June morning. Walking two blocks, Alek noticed a nice Vapid Dominator parked in a garage off the street. Nudging his girlfriend, Alek smirked at the car, before vaulting the wall and walking slowly to the car, glancing around he pulled a thin retractable metal pointer and slide it in through the open window and unlocked the car. Quickly, they both got in and Alek hot-wired the car. Driving quickly to the nearest LS Customs, they sold the car for about $4,000 cash and asked where they might find more work in this area of expertise. The mechanic rented them a Gauntlet and told them about Simeon.

"He is a slimy foreign motherfucker, but he is a good way for people to get their foot in the door her in LS. Be careful though, he knows how to rope people in and not all of his contracts are ever finished." Alek sighed heavily.

"Thanks for the tip man. Is there anyway we could also do some work for you? Getting you cars and shit like that?"

"Yeah, give me your number and I will hit you up if we ever need new cars. We don't deal in specifics, just cars that we can sell again and quickly." Alek gave the man his number and the two set off for Simeon's dealership. Arriving, they pulled around back to find two more people, waiting to talk to Simeon themselves. Both parties tensed when they saw each other and didn't relax until Simeon came out the door. Madeleine and Alek stood back while the two men talked to the dealership owner. One of them was wearing a pair of purple chinos with a lime green buttoned shirt, while the other wore blue jeans with a red vest over a cobalt shirt. Alek's eyes widened when he noticed a familiar sign on the back shoulder of the younger kid in the vest. An inverted Y formed with six thick black lines. As the other two got into their car and left, Alek stared after them, somewhat hopefully that he would find a crew for the two of them who would take them in.

He came abruptly back to Earth when Madeleine nudged him and nodded at Simeon who had started walking to them.

"Welcome! How can I be of service to two beautiful young people such as yourself? Alek cleared his throat and said.

"Hello, my name is Aleksander and this, here, is Madeleine. We are here to find work for the pair of us in Los Santos. We just flew in yesterday, and we need to get on our feet and get some money. However, due to some unfavorable decisions on my part mostly, neither of us are able to find 100% honest work anymore."

"Ah ha, my dear boy, you and your charming girl have come to the right man. I have just the job to start you two off on the path to riches. I need you two to to go up to the wealthy neighborhoods and repossess two cars that a wealthy man has been unable to pay for over the past two months. Do this for me and I can get you two started on your way to big money and big dreams. As an added bonus, if both cars are returned to me in perfect condition, I will sell you both a car at a reduced price. How does that sound my boy?"

"We have to get started somewhere" replied Madeleine after sharing a quick glance with Alek. "What's the address? We will get them back to you today before evening."

Hailing a taxi, Madeleine and Alex rode up to Richman and got out two blocks uphill from the mansion. After a quick walk, they reached the gate. Alek, who was fairly good with computers, quickly hacked the keypad and both of them ran to a car and drove as fast as they could back to Simeon's. They made it with both cars in perfect condition and without meeting a single cop along the way. Simeon walked out, open mouthed as he saw the two cars the new criminals were leaning against.

"My god, you two are some of the greatest prodigies I have ever come to know in this shit hole of a town. Here you are, for $9000, I can get you, my boy, a white and purple Vapid Dominator, and for you my lady, a black and pink Wenny Issi."

"Thank you Simeon, we will be in touch if we need anymore work." replied Alek. "By the way, those two who were here before us, do you think we might be able to meet them? We need a crew to watch our backs."

"I will see what I can do my boy. Leave it to your uncle Simeon!" Alek watched Simeon walk back into the dealership and scoffed behind his hand. 'Uncle Simeon' my ass, he thought as they took the Gauntlet back to the mechanic they have rented it from, before returning to their hotel room. Both were extremely happy at their work, and just couldn't contain themselves. Alek stripped off his shirt and shorts before tossing Madeleine on the bed and kissing her neck and ears. This is going to be where we make it big baby, he allowed himself to think before Madeleine forced herself on him for the rest of the night.
