Chapter 9: Purple and Green Make Black Power

Mark and the Kkangpae or The Korean Mob

Martin

Rockford

The sun had yet to rise on this new day as Martin found himself lying awake with a smile on his face and enjoying the silent night with his wife slumbering in his arms. That silence was quickly interrupted by the sound of his cellphone ringing causing him to reach over to the night stand by his bed and grab the device before answering it.

"Hello." he said, his stirring causing Tamika to awake and turn to him and notice the worried look on his face.

"Alright I'll be right there." Martin said before rising from his bed.

"What's going on?" Tamika asked while watching Martin put on a pair of blue jean pants. He didn't want to have her worry or start another fight with her so he decided to lie.

"One of my trucks got into a collision, that was Dex he said that the drivers in critical condition. They say he's being flown to Central Los." he stated earning wide eyes from the woman.

"Jesus." she said with wide eyes while watching the eldest Roman throw on a black t-shirt.

"I'm gonna go check on him, but I'll be back for breakfast." he said before moving to her and giving her a quick kiss on the lips.

"Be safe." she said before watching as Martin walked out of the room and made his way out of his house and into his car where he sent a text message to the youngest Roman.

Central Los Santos Medical Center

The drive to the hospital wasn't long for an agitated Marcus, who was angry about cutting his time with Maggie short, as he walked into the Central Los dressed in an all white t-shirt, under a black jacket with a white dragon on the back, black pants, a white hat, and his white shoes.

"Boss." said Trip as he approached the man.

"What'd you call me here for brother?" asked Mark as he slapped hands with Trip.

"This might interest you." said Trip as he turned his head for Mark to see four dead bodies on their way to the Morgue.

"That is interesting." said Mark before he folded his arms over his chest.

"You know those CGF guys?" Trip asked earning a nod from the youngest Roman.

"Yeah one was called Bones, the other guy was CGF but he must have been new because I can't remember him." stated Mark as Martin and Dex approached him and Trip.

"What's going on?" he asked while taking a stand beside his younger brother.

"Bones is dead along with another Family member." said Mark earning wide eyes from Martin.

"Dex go see who it was." said Martin as he turned to Dex who was wearing a white v-neck shirt and green shorts with slippers.

"You got it." he replied before running off.

"Aside from them there was also two other guys from the East Side Ballas that got clipped. Word is a Vago's female walked up to your boys car while they were parked at a Burger Shot drive thru in Strawberry. She shot them dead and the woman at the window while two Vagos walked into the Burger Shot and executed the Ballas. None of them saw it coming." said Trip earning a nod from Mark.

"Where's B-Rock?" asked Martin.

"You must mean that other guy that came in with the bullet in his shoulder. I guess she must have thought she hit him in the head, because he's fine...well by someone who's been shot standards." Trip stated.

"Well where is he?" Martin asked with a serious tone.

"He's in a room in the Trauma Ward, but I don't advice going in there. The feds have it on lock because the Vagos who shot your boys and those Ballas is in there as well. Seems like after they did the shooting they left in such a hurry that they ended up wrapping their car around a tree. They in critical to and maybe in need of surgery." said Trip earning a nod from Martin before the auburn haired man turned to the youngest Roman.

"Link's here and so is the Gang Task Force." he said earning a raised eyebrow from the Samoan.

"We're supposed to be meeting him tonight for drinks." said Mark earning a nod from Trip.

"He's gonna wanna reason why we're here." said Trip earning a nod from Mark.

"I got an excuse." said Mark earning a raised eyebrow from Martin before he led them into the Trauma Ward.

"Get me some anesthetics." said Dr. Ling as she walked out of a room while taking off her gloves.

"Need a hand?" asked Mark as Ling smiled at the youngest Roman.

"There's not really much to do this time like the last." she replied while Trip directed Martin to B-Rock's room where he noticed a blonde haired man and a bald man wearing suits standing in the room.

"Martin what are you doing here, I thought the Families was in your rearview mirrors?" asked Weaver while Martin approached B-Rock.

"They are but me and this man go way back, to not come and see him would be a dick move." said Martin earning a nod from the man.

"I understand, but maybe you can tell your friend to talk to me about what happened." said Weaver.

"I ain't gotta tell you shit you know what happened and it ain't illegal to get shot by some crazy bitch." yelled B-Rock.

"It's not illegal but if it was a gang shooting things are different, for you remember that." said Weaver as Link sent a look out the door and noticed Mark talking with Dr. Ling causing him to rise from his chair and walk out of the room.

"Well look who's here." said Mark as he smiled at the blonde haired man, that he figured would approach him upon seeing him.

"Yeah I'm here a lot why are you here?" asked Link as he slapped hands with the youngest Roman.

"My older brothers here to see a friend and I decided to see Dr. Ling here." said Mark as Link sent looks to the young doctor.

"Sup brother." said Trip earning a smile from Link who then slapped hands with him.

"Wow I haven't felt this at home in a long time." said Link as he smiled at the group.

"You really know a lot of characters." said Dr. Ling earning a chuckle from Mark.

"Yeah being homeless will do that I'm glad to see the milestone we've all made these last couple of years." said Mark as he smiled at the doctor who returned it just as Weaver approached them.

"Detective." said Mark as he eyed the man.

"Sergeant, may I ask why are you here?" he asked with a smile.

"My brothers here to check on a friend, so I decided to see to some of my own." said Mark as Weaver sent a look to Link, Trip, and Dr. Ling.

"So you and Martin hang out with each other?" he asked.

"We just reconnected last week, hell I just learned he had kid." said Mark earning a nod from Weaver while Dex entered the room with Martin and B-Rock.

"The other dead homie is Deon. He was one of the younger ones." said Dex earning a nod from Martin.

"Man I'm gonna kill that bitch for what you did to Bones." said B-Rock.

"Get in line because the feds are eating her out now before the doctors slice her open." said Mark as he entered the room.

"So what are we gonna do let this shit slide?" asked B-Rock.

"No I think I just found something we can trade with the Ballas for." said Mark to the groups surprise before Weaver entered the room.

"I think this room is a little overcapacity." he said earning a nod from Martin.

"You're right I better get going I promised my wife I'd be home for breakfast." said Martin earning a nod from the youngest Roman.

"Alright since you're fine I'm gonna go back home...and eat some pussy because that's what you dragged me away from." said Mark earning a chuckle from Dex and a roll of the eyes from Martin before the trio made their way out of the hospital.

"We're leaving." said Mark.

"Alright I'll catch y'all later tonight." said Trip as he slapped hands with the youngest Roman before they turned to Link.

"We still meeting for drinks?" asked Mark earning a nod from Link before he turned to Dr. Ling.

"And I guess I'll be seeing you later." said Mark as he took Dr. Ling's hand in his own earning a smile and a blush from the woman.

"Yeah just make it a little sooner." said Dr. Ling earning a chuckle from Mark before he walked away from the woman with Martin and Dex in tow.

"Who's she and why she look familiar?" asked Martin.

"You remember Mr. Kim ran the corner store up the street, that's his daughter." said Mark earning a surprised look from Martin and Dex.

"Damn she grew into herself." said Dex.

"So what's that plan of yours?" asked Martin earning a smile from Mark.

"Alright the Ballas are gonna want payback for their fallen, they can't get to those guys because they'll be in jail but we can." said Mark to Martin's surprise.

"What do you mean?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Don't worry about how it gets done, just know that it will get done." said Mark earning a slow nod from Dex.

"So you kill them as tribute to the Ballas but they're gonna want more." stated Dex.

"I'm thinking on that but I'll come up with something." said Mark as the trio walked out of the hospital and noticed the sun starting to rise.

"I'll catch y'all later today." said Mark as he walked away from Martin and Dex as the two men slid into Martin's car while Mark climbed onto his motorcycle just as his cellphone rang.

"Hello." he answered before a familiar voice filled his ear.

"Alright we'll be there...Najung-e bwa." he finished before hanging up his phone then starting up his motorcycle and riding off.

Trevor

Lester's House

The drive to Los Santos wasn't long for Trevor but it was aggravating as he drove through the streets in the city that he thought was filled with more false truths then D.C. whether they were fake breast or fake individuals living fake lives... they were in Los Santos. As he drove through El Burro Heights he instantly noticed the change in scenery from the nicely clean neighborhoods of Rockford Hills to the ghettos of East Los Santos before he parked his car in front of Lesters home before stepping out then entering the house.

"This better be good Sugar Tits." said Trevor as he entered the house and noticed Michael and Franklin standing over Lester.

"It is trust me." Michael replied with his eyes hidden behind his black sunglasses and wearing his usual gray suit with a white button-up shirt underneath.

"Lester show him what you got." Michael said before turning to Lester who as usual was sitting at his computer.

"Well as you already know the Feds have drained your accounts. Who was responsible is still a mystery to me so to replenish our lost wages I found a heist that would bring us in a good score." said Lester before he rose from his chair and walked over to a board where the trio noticed pictures taped to it.

"This is the Four Dragons Casino in Las Venturas. It is a luxury casino/ hotel on Las Venturas Strip and has a very East Asian theme to it-." started Lester before Trevor interrupted him.

"Skip the bullshit and get down to the heist." he said.

"The Four Dragons brings in a revenue of well over a million dollars and we're gonna steal it." said Lester earning a smile from Trevor, Michael, and Franklin.

"There are two ways to enter it subtle. Which would involve going in dressed as high rollers and security and sneaking into the vault." said Lester earning a chuckle from Michael.

"You mean like that movie?" he asked earning a nod from Lester.

"The other is the more obvious approach and the fastest." stated Lester earning a smile from Trevor.

"Go in hard and loud." he said earning a nod from the cripple.

"You guys lead a team inside take out the guards, blow the vault open, and use a driver to walk out with the money." said Lester.

"Well I'm liking that Subtle approach-." started Michael before Trevor stopped him.

"No you don't Mikey you picked out the operation for the UD job, so I'm picking out this one and I'm going in loud." said Trevor.

"Any protest?" asked Lester as all eyes fell on Franklin.

"Whatever gets me paid faster." he replied.

"Then it's settled we're going in loud." said Trevor with a chuckle.

"Alright since you're going in loud your gonna need a team two other guys to go inside with you. a driver to the money away from the cops." said Lester earning a nod from the group.

"Gustavo has been our go to guy from the beginning we might as well stick with him." said Franklin earning a nod from Michael.

"Packie's proven himself to be great in a firefight." said Michael.

"And I guess we'll go with Eddie as a driver." said Franklin.

"I hate to break it to you but I haven't been able to get a hold of Eddy. It seems he dropped off the grid after the UD job and hasn't been heard from since." said Trevor earning a confused look from Michael.

"Alright then we'll go with Taliana she did alright in the UD heist." said Michael earning a nod from the group.

"Alright then Michael you and Trevor will be going in with McReary and Gustavo while Franklin you'll be on getaway for them." said Lester earning nods from the group.

"This heist is sounding good." said Michael earning a nod from Lester.

"I'll call the crew while I expect you guys to get everything needed for the score." said Lester earning nods from the trio before they made their way out of the house.

Mark

Little Seoul

The morning seemed to be in full swing as Mark sat on his parked bike watching people go by while a few took some time to stare at him and make sly remarks.

"Only in Little Seoul will people act like they never seen a black person before." he muttered before turning his head and watching as a black and white Sultan pulled up before him.

"About time." he said watching as Lee stepped out of the car wearing a blue collared shirt, black pants, and white shoes.

"Sorry bro Megan was nagging me this morning and I had to pick up the kid." Lee replied as Mark watched Tweener step out of the car wearing baggy blue jean pants and a white t-shirt.

"We babysitting today?" asked Mark with a chuckle.

"Whatever I can handle my sizself." Tweener replied trying to talk in Ebonics to Mark's dismay.

"Hey stall that shit, we're in the wrong place for it." said Mark earning a nod from Tweener before the trio made their way down the street pass the numerous Korean people eyeing them.

"So how are things with you and Megan?" asked Mark earning a chuckle from Lee.

"The sex is great, but she's still riding my ass about finding a bigger place to live." Lee replied.

"Any place in mind?" Mark asked.

"Well she keep saying she's getting tired of East Beach, but we ain't making enough money for Vinewood or Rockford." he stated.

"Well maybe after this job you can afford a place." said Mark before he led Lee and Tweener into a karaoke bar where they took a seat at the bar and watched people perform...horribly.

"So what are we doing here again?" asked Tweener before a Korean woman with long black hair and wearing a black dress approached the table.

"Marcus glad you could make it." she said earning a smile from the youngest Roman who took her hand in his own and planted a kiss on the top.

"Hangsang dangsin-eul wihae."

"Always For you." he replied in a deep voice earning a raised eyebrow from Tweener and a roll of the eyes from Lee before they watched the woman pull Mark away from the table.

"Don't stare." said Lee before he elbowed Tweener in the said earning his attention.

"Is Mark cheating on Maggie?" he asked earning a low chuckle from the Chinese American.

"No and that'll probably never happen." Lee replied.

"Then who is that woman?" Tweener asked.

"I forget sometimes that you weren't here in the beginning and that you were locked up when Mark came back." said Lee earning a confused look from Tweener.

"Well as you already know me, Mark, Maggie, Mercy, Trip, and a few others were apart of the United Nations Crew of the Five Points Gang. Well were based here in Little Seoul, our clubhouse was this old rundown building on the far end." said Lee earning a nod from Tweener.

"Originally the Korean people weren't to accepting of us, after the 92's riots in all, so for protection we hooked up with the Kkangpae or the Korean Mob. They kept us safe while we paid a small tribute to them and everything worked out until we moved to East Beach and severed ties with them, but they did call on us for favors." said Lee.

"We grew further apart until a few years ago. That woman, Tracy Bak, her husbands Johnny Bak was the leader of the Korean Mob in Little Seoul. He was running the group well but behind his wifes back he was seeing this Japanese woman, which in their culture is a big no no. When she found out she wanted to rip everything away from him, but she needed help...outside help." he continued.

"She came to you guys?" asked Tweener asked earning a nod from Lee.

"Aye but she didn't want us to kill him...she wanted to take everything he built from under him. So she hired us to do damage to his business and we did that and when his gang was about to turn on him she gave him up to the police and seized control and if guys got out of line...she'd give us a call and that line would be straightened out." Lee finished earning a nod from Tweener while Mark entered a Bak office with Ms. Bak.

"Dangsin-eun oneul joh-a boinda."

"You look good today." Mark said before watching the woman chuckle before taking a seat on the top of her desk.

"Your Korean has gotten better, but this is America Marcus so I'd appreciate it if you talked in English." she said while smiling at him.

"As you wish." he said before smiling at her.

"What would you have me do?" asked Mark.

"Business as usual don't you want pleasure first?" she asked.

"Your presence is pleasure enough." he replied earning a nod from the woman.

"Flattery gets you nowhere, but I do have a very important job I need you and your men to see to." she said earning a nod from Mark.

"What is it?" he asked.

"My cheating husband was released from prison this morning and with everything we've been through I fear he's plotting my death and with the news spreading to my men they're defecting from my side and joining his." she said earning a nod from Mark.

"What would you have me do?" he asked earning a smile from the woman.

"I want you to kill the defectors and my husband, but I want you to call me when you kill him. I want to hear him scream." she said with a sadistic tone earning a nod from the youngest Roman.

"Consider it done." he replied.

"I'll call you when my men have his location, after that I know you'll handle yourself." she said earning a nod from Mark as he went to walk out the door before she stopped him.

"Oh and Mark...who is this woman I've been hearing you've seen seen with?" she asked earning a chuckle from Mark.

"That's Maggie, she got discharged a few days ago." Mark replied earning a smile from the woman.

"Just remember Marcus Roman you can date and fuck whoever you want, but at the end of the day...your ass belongs to me." she said earning a chuckle from Mark.

"Wouldn't have it any other way." said Mark before he walked out of the room and approached Lee and Tweener causing them to follow him out the door.

"What did she want?" asked Lee.

"Long story short...Johnny Bak's getting out of prison, he's putting a crew together, and she want us wants us to kill her husband." said Mark earning a nod from Lee.

"Doesn't sound to hard, I think me and you can handle that." stated Lee earning a nod from Mark.

"Hey I want in to." said Tweener.

"I'll see depends on where he is. If we're going loud I'll bring you but if it's stealth-." started Mark.

"I'm the stealthiest one of all." said Tweener earning chuckles from Mark and Lee before the group arrived at their vehicles and drove away.

Martin

Roman Trucking

The sun was still looming high over Roman's Trucking as Martin sat under his garage watching as, Trigger and Mercy sat on the truck bed of Mercy's truck talking while Franklin sat on the hood of his Buffalo before Maggie approached him.

"Have you heard from Mark yet?" he asked earning a shake of the head from the woman.

"No but he's on his way." she replied.

"You sound sure." he said earning a chuckle from the eldest Roman.

"You're having doubts?" she asked earning a deep sigh from Martin.

"I know I'm just meeting him again and really learning about him, and sometimes I still think he's that same little kid I abandoned at home with our drugged out brother." said Martin.

"He is still little but he hasn't been a kid since he was eight." said Maggie earning Martin's attention.

"He's always been looking out for us, since we were young. If he had it and we didn't he made sure we had it even if it meant he didn't." she stated.

"What about his friends I mean I met you, Lee, and Trip but what can you tell me about them?" asked Martin earning a chuckle from Maggie.

"Well the first person in our little group Mark met was Lee. They met on a weekend where Mark decided to take a bus to San Fierra and meet other homeless kids. Mark met Lee and the two of them became instantly inseparable. We like to call them the mix ups because if you haven't noticed Mark is practically an Asian and we believe in a past life Lee was a country ass black dude. Mark can speak and understand Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean, and Vietnamese as well as Spanish and Russian. Lee talks like a black dude, dresses like a black dude, eats like a black dude, and he's even with a black girl." said Maggie earning a chuckle from Martin.

"Lee says black women are a godsend while Mark likes anything but as you can tell he prefers the color yellow." said Maggie with a chuckle before she turned to Mercy.

"Mercy and Trip are brothers but Mercy looks Hispanic and Trip looks white but their mother is a black woman from Belize. Even though their mother was black they were picked on by the Ballas in Davis and when they tried to join the Families. They were rejected because they aren't black so they were on their own in school until their mother died and they hooked up with Mark and they've been here sense." said she continued before turning to Trigger.

"Trigger's another one. His dad was black and his mom was Filipino but he looks like a Central American so he too was picked on by the gangs and that's what made him come to us. He always likes guns." said Maggie earning a raised eyebrow from the eldest Roman.

"Wait is everyone in your gang mixed?" asked Martin with a raised eyebrow.

"We are, in a sense, but most of the white boys in our group aren't mixed. We also aren't a gang, we're just a group of once homeless kids who looked out for each other doing the same now. Even though back then we were numbered in the fifties while now it's barely ten." said Maggie earning a nod from Martin before the group watched as Mark and Lee pulled their vehicles into the parking lot and parked beside them.

"Where the hell were you?" asked Martin as he eyed Mark with Maggie standing beside him with her arms folded over her chest.

"Sorry I got a call from a business partner I needed to see." he replied earning a nod from Martin.

"Oh and the Ballas are here." said Mark as the group turned their heads and watched as two Purple Emperors and watched as three Ballas stepped out of the two cars while Mark, Martin, and Franklin eyed the group as a bald African American man wearing a white do-rag, a boars jacket over a white t-shirt, black jeans, and white shoes approached them.

"You must be Reggie, I'm Martin Roman." he said extending his hand to the man only for it to go untouched.

"Let's just get this shit over with." he said with venom in his tone before Martin pointed to a small wooden table in the garage before four of the Ballas made their way inside with Martin, Mark, and Franklin in tow as the group began to take their seats.

"As you know I'm Martin, this Franklin, and Marcus." he said earning silence from Reggie before the man next to him spoke. He was a tall muscular African American man with a shaved head and wearing a black t-shirt over a purple undershirt, blue jean pants, and a purple Panics hat on his head.

"Dudes call me Twister I'm from Original Covenant, Reggie here from the Grove, Stash here from the Brogue and Lemon from East Coast." the man said earning a nod from Franklin.

"Alright I'll cut to the chase. I know there's been a lot of bloodshed between our two gangs these last couple days and I know that's reopening old wounds, but I want to close the wounds and see if I can remake that truce between our two gangs." said Martin earning a chuckle from the Balla identified as Lemon. His name seemed to fit because his short Afro was dyed gold and he was wearing a purple t-shirt, black jeans, white shoes, and had two gold teeth as Mark noticed the letters FK, for Family Killer, tattooed on his right hand.

"We had a truce with you CGF bitches but this nigga here blew it by kidnapping D." he said turning to Franklin who eyed him angrily.

"Okay y'all been giving me shit for that for the longest and it's true we did snatch D, but we let the nigga go. You niggas the ones that came into the warehouse blasting." replied Franklin with venom in his tone.

"After you bitches shot D." said the man identified as Stash. He hand short black hair hidden under a backwards black cap and was wearing a black jacket, black pants, and a purple bandanna hanging from his back pocket.

"Stretch shot D, did he tell you that?" asked Franklin earning an angry look from Stash.

"Look that shit was in the past let's talk about the shit that's happening now." said Martin earning a chuckle from Reggie.

"Talk about the shit that's happening now how about we talk about your brother running down my old lady, does that sound familiar?" he asked.

"What Marrick did was unnecessary and unforgivable, but your attack on Chamberlain Hills as just as unforgivable. A lot of people innpocent and young died in your attack-." started Martin before Lemon interrupted him.

"An attack that you CGF and Forum bitches brought on yourselves." he yelled.

"We ain't bring shit-." yelled Franklin as Lemon, Stash, and Reggie rose to their feet before Twister stopped them.

"Wait-." he said earning the trio's attention before he looked at Mark then looked around.

"If we pop off ain't none of us leaving this garage alive, they got the advantage." he said earning confused looks from the three Ballas.

"This short nigga right here is ex military." he stated earning surprised looks from everyone except Mark.

"And he ain't the only one." Twister added before his eyes fell on Lee, Maggie, Mercy, Trigger, and Tweener.

"How can you tell?" asked Lemon.

"He's got the same fucked up look in his eyes like guys who've seen the desert." Twister replied before turning back to Mark.

"Tell me who you are, your rank, what branch were you in, and where you served soldier?" he asked earning a smile from Mark.

"First Sergeant Marcus Roman Marine Corp and I served in Iraq and Afghanistan, you." Mark replied with a raised eyebrow.

"Staff Sergeant James Bracken U.S. Army, I knew who you were because I recognized you. You and that unit of butchers you ran came into our camp one day gloating about cutting a man's head off." he said earning a smile from Mark.

"CGF ain't no diverse group, so I'm assuming those Asians, that Mexican, and the white boy are either veterans or guys you've trained. I can also assume that there's a Sniper watching us right now." he stated earning a chuckle from Mark while Trip layed on the top of an apartment building looking out the scope of his Sniper Rifle at the group below.

"Right on the money." said Mark with a chuckle.

"Your last names Roman, so you obviously CGF-." he started before Mark interrupted.

"No I'm just the guy who's wants the bloodshed between black gangs to end... or continue as long as I get to kill something." he replied while licking his lips.

"Well then what are you offering us?" Twister asked while turning to Martin.

"We know that last night the Vagos killed two of your guys, they also killed two of ours, and we can get to everyone involved while they're in the hospital. We're willing to avenge your homies if you agree to this." said Martin.

"Is that it, Marrick has killed a lot more of our homies then any barrio rat these last couple of weeks?" asked Lemon.

"We're gonna need more." said Stash with venom in his tone as Martin mentally cursed himself.

"What about two and a half pounds of weed, straight from our friends up north." said Mark to everyone's surprise before they watched him reach into his pocket and pull out a bag of weed before tossing it to Twister.

"I'm offering weed but if that's not what you want I can you Ecstasy, Xanax, and a number of other scripts even Viagra if you want it.' said Mark earning a nod from Twister.

"Two and half pounds and two hundred tabs of Xanax." said Twister earning a nod from Mark.

"Done anything else?" asked Mark.

"Yeah, to solidify this union we want you to help us with a job." said Twister earning a raised eyebrow from Mark.

"And what might that be?" he asked.

"We want you to help us hit Taco Flats, and I don't just mean a drive-by or spray-and-pray. I want to burn that bitch to the ground and I need guys who are skilled at that to help me with it." stated Twister earning a smile from Mark as Martin went to stop him before the youngest Roman interrupted.

"Done, but I'm coming up with the plan. Taco Flats is a gang hood but it's still filled with people who don't bang and we don't kill the innocent," said Mark earning a nod from Twister.

"Well then we have a deal." said Twister as he rose from his seat and extended his hand to Mark who quickly shook it then Martin and Franklin who held mixed looks.

"We'll be in touch." he said before leading his Ballas away from the garage while Martin and Franklin turned to Mark.

"The hell Mark we're putting a lot of risk in this attack." said Martin.

"No you're not, I'll go and my guys will follow but I'm not asking any Family members to come with me on this job. I don't want neither CGF nor Forum to take the risk." stated Mark earning a few seconds of silence from the duo.

"You think you can handle going up against a full hood?" asked Franklin earning a chuckle from Mark.

"Brother I walked two weeks ago in East Beach I walked into the heart of East End Vago territory on my own and turned that bitch into a killing field. A few months ago I walked into Azteca territory and dropped a house on their members, I think I can handle this." said Mark with a smile that left Franklin and Martin intimated.

"Man I gotta keep it G, you are on pace to being the number one dude that creeps me out." said Franklin earning a chuckle from Mark.

"I get that a lot." he replied.

"Mark I gotta ask where are you gonna get all those drugs you promised them?" asked Martin.

"While I was growing up in Little Seoul I git connected with Korean Gangster. When I moved to East Beach I connected with Cambodian, Vietnamese, and Hmong Gangs. After I was discharged from the military my old connections connected me with Chinese Triads in San Fierra and unlike the black gangs these guys are more organized and interconnected. There could be a Triad here San Andreas that's connected with other Triads in China, Canada, and Europe. Over the years I've worked for a lot of these Asian Organized Crime Syndicates and I've earned a few favors so I can get my hands on just about anything." stated Mark earning wide eyes from the group.

"Anything else about you we don't know, because today I learned you speak six different languages?" asked Martin before Mark rubbed his chin.

"I've never had sex with anyone other then Maggie. I've never had any form of sex with a black, white, Samoan, or Hispanic woman. I've never met or worked for Martin Madraza or any Drug Cartel. I never worked for any prison organizations nor have I never seen the inside of a jail or prison. Unlike most black men from Chamberlain Hills I have never been arrested. I've killed well over three hundred people but with statues of limitations that probably two fifty. I had a relationship with an International Escort, that was never called off so don't tell Maggie. I shoved a Shotgun up a porn directors ass once. Oh and I ate a dog and let me tell you it was the best piece of barbeque I ever had." said Mark with a chuckle earning wide eyes from the duo.

"WHAT THE FUCK-." started Franklin before Mark's phone chimed from a text message.

"Sorry bro I gotta go, I'll get Trippy to take care of those Vago's at the hospital for you." said Mark before he walked away.

"He's does know there's no statue of limitations for murder right?" asked Franklin earning silence from Franklin.

"Lee Tweener with me." he said earning the duo's attention.

"Where are you going?" asked Maggie as she eyed the trio.

"To take care of something, we'll meet you at the bar." said Mark before he planted a kiss on the top of the woman's head before she watched them hop in their vehicles before driving off while Maggie turned to a stunned Martin and Franklin.

"So how did the meeting go?" she asked.

"We'll get to that, what do any of you know about Mark eating a dog?" asked Martin earning chuckles from the group.

"Oh that was the best piece of barbeque ever, even better then pork." stated Mercy earning a nod from Trip.

"What the fuck did you all the dog?" asked Martin.

"Hey when you get stuck in the Senora Desert for two days straight you gotta eat something, and the dog was there." said Trigger with a chuckle earning disgusted looks from the group.

The day was beginning to come to an end for Link as he stood in front of his locker after changing into a blue shirt and a pair of khaki pants.

"Lincoln you got a second?" asked Weaver as he stood behind the man.

"Yes sir?" he asked after turning to face the man.

"I want to talk to you about your connection with Marcus like how you know him?" he asked after taking a seat on the couch.

"Me and Mark we kinda grow up together almost like he's my brother. I grew up in Morningwood and you would think I had the ideal life but I didn't. My mom was a teacher and my dad was a construction worker and when you looked at us we were normal at first glance, but if you got to know us you'd notice the bruises on my mom, the smell of booze on my dad, and that I was sorta...broken inside." he said.

"One day I came home from school and noticed that my mom was lying motionless on the bathroom floor with a bottle of pills layed by her and things weren't the same afterwards. My dad was more of a drunk then a father so one day I ran away." said Link with a smile while eyeing a surprised Weaver.

"My mom warned me about how dangerous it was in LS, but to me it was more dangerous at home then on the streets. One day I ran into Mark and a couple of other homeless kids and they took me in...made me one of their own. They helped me survive on the streets, heal the scars of home, and become a man in my own way." said Link earning a nod from Weaver.

"Yes I know he's the son of Michael Roman, one of the founders of the Families, and yes I know who his brothers are. He's always had a lot of respect for his brothers but he despises his other brother along with the Families, Ballas, Vagos, Aztecas, and Mara Bunta but he knows that he'll be gone long before any of them are so he can tolerate the members but the gangs themselves he has no love for." said Link earning a nod from Weaver.

"So aside from his family lineage you believe Mark isn't associated with any gang?" asked Weaver earning a nod from Link.

"Aye sir, if he was I wouldn't be hanging around with him. I know where my loyalties lie." Link replied earning a few seconds of silence from his partner before he nodded his head.

Vinewood Hills

The sun was beginning to set over the wealthy neighborhood of Vinewood as expensive cars drove down the streets while inside of a large two story house on the hill with six Korean men walking around it while a Korean man with short black hair and wearing a gray suit was sitting in a chair while a Japanese woman with long black, black eyes, and wearing only a white bra and thong stood behind him rubbing his shoulders.

"Do you really need all the extra security?" she asked while continuing to rub his shoulders as one of the Korean men outside was caught by surprise as a hand snaked his way around his neck before a cracking sound was heard.

"I have a feeling my ex-wife might try something." he replied just as another guard found a hand wrapped around his mouth followed by the blade of a knife being plunged into his neck.

"Am I in danger?" she asked while another man quickly had his throat cut and another man was pulled into the bushes.

"I will always protect you Yuki." he said earning a smile from the woman as Tweener looked down at the man who's throat he cut just as another Korean man turned the corner and spotted him but before he could speak a knife quickly cut through the air before the blade was embedded itself in the center of the man's throat as Mark stepped from behind him and quickly pulled his knife from the man's wound.

"Let's go." he said before leading the group to the back of the house while Yuki stood over the former Korean Mob boss with a smile on her face before dropping down to her knees then moving to his pants but before she could get them a loose the duo were interrupted by a loud crashing sound as Mark kicked open the door before rushing in a similar way to his days in the remain and using his M9 to clear out any guards inside as one man tried to lift his gun he was quickly shot once in the throat by the youngest Roman who watched the man's blood spray from his now open jugular vein and stain the walls before rushing into the room with Johnny and Yuki.

"Sit down." yelled Mark before he threw a punch at Johnny just as the man tried to stand up and instantly knocking the man back down while Lee and Tweener pulled Yuki away.

"Who the fuck are you?" asked Johnny earning a smile from the ex-soldier who quickly pulled a pair of handcuffs from his back before snapping them on Johnny's wrist.

"Your grim reaper." said Mark before he pulled out his cellphone and dialed a number.

"I got him." he said before putting his phone on speaker mode then putting it to Johnny's ear.

"Looks like I win again." said Ms. Bak from the other end of the phone and earning an angry grunt from Johnny.

"You fucking bitch." he replied earning a kick to the gut from Mark just as Lee approached him.

"Don't act surprised, you taught me to strike before my enemy made his move. So you can only blame yourself for it," she stated with venom in her tone.

"Marcus do me a favor and come back to me tomorrow morning with my beloved husbands gallbladder in a jar." she said earning a smile from Mark.

"Yes mam." Mark replied while licking his lips.

"No No NOOOO." Johnny screamed as Lee grabbed his legs and held him down while Mark drew his knife and kneeled before him.

"Blame yourself." said Mark before he sliced into Johnny's stomach earning a loud scream from the man while Tweener stood by watching with a disgusted look as Mark reached into Johnny's abdomen and pulling out an organ connected to the man liver as he smiled as the blood from the organs dripped onto Johnny who was beginning to go into shock.

"I got your organ and a liver as a gift." said Mark earning a chuckle from Ms. Bak.

"Goodbye you can finish him now and that house is yours, just remember... no survivors." she said as Mark and Lee looked in the next room and noticing a scared Yuki cowering in the corner.

"Handle that and I don't advise firing a gun." said Mark to Lee's confusion.

"Why not?" he asked while watching Mark walk away from him.

"Because you're gonna catch hell cleaning up all the blood in your new home, might not want to add bullet holes with it." said Mark to Lee's surprise before he drew his knife and approached Yuki who was still cowering in fear with tears in her eyes then kneeling down before her.

"Feel lucky I'm not going to hurt you, because I KNOW you aren't gonna say anything about what happened here." said Mark to Lee and Tweener's surprise as they watched him rise back up to his full height...of only five-foot-two then resheathing his knife.

"Then what am I supposed to do?" she asked.

"Don't know." he replied while looking away from Yuki.

"Where am I supposed to go?" she continued.

"Don't know don't care." he said before turning away from her just as she grabbed his hand and caught his attention.

"Please, Johnny always took care of me and I can't go anywhere else. I have no money or family so please help me." she said with tears beginning to fall from her eyes as Mark let out a loud sigh before looking down at her.

"Come on, I know a place to take you." he replied earning shocked looks from both Lee and Tweener's surprise as they watched him remove his jacket before handing it to Yuki who slowly put it on before moving away from Mark.

"Jesus boss what was that?" asked Tweener.

"I've spilled enough blood today." said Mark before the trio heard a chuckle and turned their heads to notice Maggie standing behind them.

"You did good today...aside from killing a few guys." she said before approaching Mark then kissing him on the cheek.

"Come on Link's on his way." she said before leading the trio out of the house.

Martin

Rockford Hills

The drive back home wasn't long for Martin as he stepped into his home and made his way into the kitchen where he noticed his wife and daughter sitting at the table.

"How's your worker?" Tamika asked earning a smile from Martin.

"He's gonna be fine, just layed up for a few months." he replied earning a nod from Tamika.

"Well at least he's alive." she replied.

"I made your favorites for dinner." she said earning a smile from Martin.

"What's the occasion?" he asked with a chuckle as Tamika approached him.

"For reminding me that me and your daughter come first in your life and not your past." she said while wrapping her arms around his neck before sharing a quick kiss with the eldest Roman without knowing that his head was filled with the guilt of lying to her and their daughter.

East Beach

"I can't believe you asked me that?" stated Link with a chuckle as he sat across from the youngest Roman with Maggie, Lee, Mercy, Trip, Trigger, Tweener, and Jericho sitting around them in their large booth at one of the many bars in East Beach.

"Hey I want to know, you work for LSPD you'll have a reputation for beating suspects and using unnecessary force." said Mercy earning a chuckle from Link.

"Yeah maybe some of it is unnecessary, but you gotta remember...this is LS." he replied as Mark gave a low chuckle before he felt Maggie elbow his side and give him a look.

"Yo brother." said Mark earning Link's attention.

"This night has been fun and it's good to see everyone together, but there's more to this get together then just this." said Mark earning a confused look from Link.

"Why what's-." he started before looking around and noticing the serious looks on everyone's faces.

"We got a job, one of our kind of jobs, that we need help with." Mark said earning a confused look from Link.

"Mark...I'm a cop." he replied.

"I understand and we know you aren't making a lot of cash being a cop, but help with this and you'll make you're years salary in an hour. It was risk coming to you but none of us were hesitant about coming to you because at the end of the day we know who you are...and who your family is." said Mark earning silence from Link.

"So are you in?" he asked as Link continued to give him the silent treatment before rising from his seat and walking away from the booth.

"Can we trust that he won't say anything?" asked Lee earning a nod from Mark.

"We can trust that he won't say anything and it won't be long before he comes to ask saying he wants to be on board." stated Mark before he took a sip of his drink while watching Link walk out the door.

Authors Note: And this seems like a good place to stop, this chapters taken a lot of me. I spent a weekend on my college campus for orientation. When I left this story only had thirty two views but after I got back that number sky-rocketed to a hundred and fifty five views and...someone favoriting my story.

I gotta say I thought this story wasn't gonna take get popular but now I'm hoping these numbers continue to grow, and I want to thank the-new-kid30 for being the first to favorite this story. You brought a smile to my face.

This chapter wasn't as bloody as some of my others but it did tell us about Franklin, Michael, and Trevor's heist while at the same time give us more insight to Mark's heist.

We also introduced two other characters in this story Tracy Bak the leader of the Korean Mob and Yuki. The term Kkangpae is actually Korean for the "Thug" and is the main name for the organization while different factions take on different names like the Russian Mafia it's a name but not one group. The Kkangpae is one of the gangs in Grand Theft Auto V, and can be found on Ginger Street in Little Seoul, but wasn't apart of the plot in the story while online they make small appearances in the Fleeca Job-Kuruma and the Prison Break-Station.

In the game they appear more like a street gang, while in this story they're more organized. Their leader Tracy Bak's appearance comes from actor Jane Park Smith and her role in this story as gang leader is actually based on her role in the TV Gang Related, which was canceled before its time, as the leader of the Kkangpae.

Yuki is a new character and her appearance is based off Tao Okamoto who played Mariko in The Wolverine. She will receive more appearances then Tracy as now being an associate to Mark's group.

Stick around because next chapter The Ballas and Mark's UN Crew make their move against the Taco Flats Vagos. Also some of you ask me about why I call them Taco Flats and what is that.

Taco Flats Vagos is based off Compton Varrio Tortilla Flats. They're one of the largest Hispanic gangs in Compton and over the past couple of years has held long standing rivalries with both Blood and Crip gangs in Compton and Inglewood. It's also no secret that they carry out attacks on African Americans in the area which has led to growing tensions between the two gangs.

So like I said stick around thank you for reading please review.
