With STAG and the Syndicate in Steelport, our lives weren't getting any better. It was definitely something that I began to stress over. It seemed as if everything was turning upside down. I began to feel depressed and not up to do anything anymore, which really had Boss questioning again.

I walked into the penthouse with a fake smile on my face to see everyone loading guns. I frowned.

"What's going on?" I asked.

"We're forming a convoy." Johnny replied, a slight smirk on his face. I put my hand on my hip.

"So, what am I doing?" I asked.

"You're staying here with Kinzie and Viola." Boss replied, not bothering to look back at me.

"Well, won't this be joyous?" Viola asked, sitting next to Kinzie, who was typing away on her computer. Gat, Pierce, Boss, and Oleg made their way out of the penthouse and into the streets of Steelport. I sighed before going over to sit on the couch next to the two new lieutenants. Now, I don't usually make friends that are girls. Ever since I joined the Saints, I've been hanging out with more boys than girls. I sat next to Kinzie, keeping my distance. I could already tell I was being overly awkward. I was playing with my fingers while sitting straight up and looking down at my lap. That couldn't get more awkward. I looked over at Kinzie who was still typing on her computer. Then I looked over at Viola who was reading the newspaper. I didn't know what to do except be awkward.

"So, uh, Shaundi," Viola started to say, "what did you do before you joined the Saints?" Both me and Kinzie looked up at her. "What? I'm just trying to make small talk."

"I know what she did." Kinzie said.

"You do?" I asked, feeling a bit scared.

"Yeah. You went to Stilwater University and never learned anything. All you did was smoke pot and drugs that the Sons Of Samedi made. You graduated there when you were still dating DJ Veteran Child. After you two, you know, had a little fun, you got pissed when Veteran Child ripped you off on drugs." She smiled. I could feel myself blush from being embarrassed.

"Wow. What about you Kinzie?" Viola asked.

"Why do you need to know?" Kinzie asked, getting defensive.

"I was just asking."

"Well, I think it's safer if you don't know."

"How?"

"It's just safer."

"Okay?"

"Anyway, what did you do before you joined the Syndicate?" I asked Viola. It wasn't like I really cared. She wanted to know what me and Kinzie did, so why didn't we learn what she did.

"Well, for starters, my sister and I were ranked best students in all of out grades in school." She was just bragging. "We did all the extra curricular activities and still had our grades be straight A's." Kinzie looked at her.

"Then, you graduated and got a masters in economics alongside your sister in Harvard Business School." She finished off.

"You researched me, didn't you?" She asked.

"Yeah. That's how I get everyone's information. I even researched Boss."

"Really?" I asked.

"Yeah. I know everything about her."

"That's really disturbing." I said. Kinzie rolled her eyes and went back to typing away on her computer.


A/N: I hope you guys liked this chapter. I'm REALLY sorry if the chapters are scattered or if you can't pin the timeline right, it's just I've been in a depressed state lately and I don't really pay attention to the timeline, so I'm sorry if you get confused or if it sucks. .-.
