A/N Last chapter about The Boss and Gat for now. (The Boss's name is revealed this chapter!). I'm thinking about writing a couple chapters about Shaundi's life and history. Then I will move on to Carlos, and last and definitely least, I will move onto Pierce (Because nobody gives a fuck about Pierce). I'd like to give a shout-out to Tha Man 187 for being the first person to post a review for this fanfiction, thank you, I really appreciate it. Chapter 3 takes place where chapter two left off.

Gat stared at The Boss in absolute shock. He felt terrible for him. Sure the dying woman was Gat's mom too, but he didn't know her, hadn't been raised by her. He didn't have any type of relationship with her, but The Boss did, and it was clearly taking it's toll on him. Gat understood why The Boss was telling him everything now, until this very moment there had been something present that was now gone . That something was time, The Boss had told Gat that the cancer was progressing quickly and would consume their mother's body within a year. Time was now of the essence, Gat realized that meeting his mother had become a dire situation.

It was time for Gat to meet his parents, but he didn't know if he was ready. The Boss and Gat were standing outside of a run down house. The paint was peeling off of the sides of the house and the windows were badly broken in some places. But Gat didn't care about the sad condition of the house, he cared only about the people the house sheltered.

Gat became anxious and considered leaving but when he was about to, the door to the house opened. An Asian man standing at about 6'4 stood in the doorway, he had the same strange blue eyes as The Boss, and the same exact eyeshape that Gat himself had. The man grinned when he saw The Boss, and he approached him without hesitation.

"Raider! The fuck took you so long?" The Boss cringed, and Gat realized what the man that he assumed was his and The Boss's father had done. He'd accidentally given Gat The Boss's real name. People had been trying to get it out of him for ten years, and then in a flash someone randomly gave it up. Gat knew that he shouldn't, but he couldn't resist taunting The Boss with the new revelation.

"Raider? Really? That's the name that you were too ashamed to tell anyone about?" Raidon's blue eyes turned hard extremely fast, and Gat knew that he'd went too far. Raider didn't hesitate, he just went off on Gat.

"Shut the fuck up Gat! You don't know what that hell your talking about. You don't realize that I never told people my name to fucking protect you!" Gat didn't understand what Raider was referring to, but the absolute fury written across his brother's face was palpable, so Gat didn't push him. Gat had learned his lesson earlier when Raider's hands had closed around his throat. Gat suppressed a shiver thinking about it. Raider and Gat's father glanced in Gat's direction then, his face changed from joy to shock in a matter of seconds. He looked like he was seeing a ghost from his past, and in a way, he was. He was actually seeing a grown up, tatted up, tall and muscular version of the baby he and his young wife had put up for adoption thirty years before. He didn't know how he knew that the grown man standing in front of him was his son, but it was obvious to the emotional father that this was his boy.

Gat tensed under the scrutiny of his dad. He felt wound up, but he wanted to know his dad, needed to know his dad, so Gat was the first of the two to speak.

"Hey, dad." Gat realized how weak the statement was, but it was all that he could manage. It was enough for his father though, and an instant later Gat was being one arm hugged by the man who had given him up. Gat, not really being the hugging type of person, stood there ackwardly. Gat's father noticed his reaction and released him, he raised his closed fist for Gat to bump. Gat hit his fist against his dad's and laughed. For the first time in his entire life, Gat's father spoke to him.

"Well Johnny, I don't know whether or not you want to call me your father considering our fucked circumstances, so in case you don't, my name is Draydon Brent." Gat nodded and and chuckled darkly. Draydon looked at his son, but said nothing. He waited for Gat to explain what was on his mind. When Gat finally did, Draydon listened carefully.

"Well Draydon Brent, I will be calling you dad from now on because my adoptive father and I no longer have a healthy relationship. He couldn't deal with being a part of the life that I've chosen to live, so I left home." Draydon stood there momentarily lost in his thoughts, he wasn't criticizing Gat for joining a gang, the son that he'd raised had joined the same gang years later. Draydon knew why Raider had joined The Saints, but not why Gat had. He decided that it wasn't the right time to ask personal questions, especially questions that would force Gat to explain himself.

But it was time for Gat to finally meet his mother.

A/N Like I mentioned in my first author's note, I'm going to be doing Shaundi chapters next . The way that it's going to work will be me posting three to four chapters about Gat specifically, Raider specifically, or both of them together. Then I will do a chapter or two about one of the other lieutenants, then the story will loop back to wherever the last Raider/Gat chapter ended and pick up there. It'll be sort of like a story within a story. So the next chapter or two will be in Shaundi's perspective.

{To clarify, here are the two new names in the story and who they belong to, The Boss will rarely be called by his usual title after this point}

Raider Brent- Leader of Third Street Saints

Draydon Brent- Father of Raider and Gat
