Everyone was once gathered around the billboard with the sketch onto it.
"Okay, so we got the cement, and the clothes appear to fit each and every one of us," Lisa informed, crossing out some of the items off the list. "Now in order to give this place a nice, aesthetic look, we need some color. Y'all know a place here in Fierro that sell paint?"
"I know this Hardware store over at the Badlands that sell paint and the tools we need to use," Ryder replied. "It's called Powertool Paradise, over at Angel Pine. That way, we could cross two items off the list at once."
"Great thinking, Lance," Lisa answered, right before she was shocked of what she said. "Wait! Did those words just come right out of my mouth?!"
"Oooh – she throwing shades at you, Ryder," CJ said. He and the rest of them started laughing, with Ryder just standing there glaring at them.
"Man enough of this bullshit!" Ryder shouted, cutting them off. "We gonna get the paint and tools or what?"
"He's right, holmes," Cesar added. "Let's go to the hardware store, eh."
So Ryder, Cesar, and LB headed out of the garage door, but not before Lisa cut them off.
"Hey, boys!" Lisa called to them. They turned around to face her. "Be careful out there! Please don't get into any trouble!"
"You heard her, boys!" Kendl added. "Just get the stuff and come straight back!"
"No problem, girls!" CJ called back. "We just gonna grab the paint and be outta here!"
Lisa and Kendl watched as the foursome walked out of the garage door.
"You know, Kendl," Lisa sighed. "Sometimes, I worry about those guys. They really do care, but they always get themselves into some precarious bullshit!"
"I know, Lisa," Kendl agreed. "But they still our family. And we counting on them to make it work."
"You're right," Lisa replied. "I hope Sean is still okay in there."
"He'll be fine," Kendl said. "We trying real hard to bail his ass out of there."
As the four friends headed outside, they hopped into a parked Washington. CJ started the engine and drove onto the road.
"Man, this is serious business," CJ said.
"Damn straight!" LB added. "I can't wait to start working on this shit. It's gonna be a helluva job well done!"
"I'll say," Cesar said. "I'm looking forward on the designing."
"I thought I'd come up with a name for the newly-designed garage," Ryder replied as CJ drove onto the freeway up ahead. "I was thinking about something like "The Grove Getaway Garage".
"Naw, too plain," LB said. "Maybe something like "The Horror Depot".
"We're designing a garage, holmes," Cesar told him, "not a horror house. How about "La Casa del Coche"?
"Nigga, that's just a plain name in Spanish," Ryder told him. "You gotta be more creative than that."
"A'ight, listen, fellas," CJ told them as he reached the end of the freeway and made it to Whetstone. "We got the whole month to come up with a good name for the garage. Right now, let's just think about getting the material to design the place."
"A'ight then," Ryder agreed. "But if we don't come up with something good, we just gonna stick to my idea."
CJ continued driving through Whetstone and turned right onto the bridge up ahead. He drove straight across and came across a few hairpin turns when driving through the mountainsides. The place looked rather colorful and vivid, as the sky was now beaming with orange and red colors. The leaves that fell from most of the trees inundated around the roads. The vehicles driving through them crunched the leaves as they rode.
When CJ finally made it all the way to Angel Pine, he parked in front of Powertool Paradise.
"This the spot," Ryder announced. "That's where they sell the tools and paint."
"Cool," CJ replied. "Now let's head inside and grab the shit inside."
CJ and the other three exited the car and walked inside.
"So what colors do y'all think we need?" CJ asked his friends.
"I guess we could add a mixture of green and blue to give it more of that Grove Street vibe to it," Ryder suggested.
"Yeah," Cesar agreed. "It also the same color of my gang as well, holmes."
"Okay, so it's settled," CJ announced. "Let's also pick up some red to go for the outside."
They started shopping for the paint and bought a plethora of hardware tools. They paid for so much tools that they had to come in four separate bags. As soon as they walked outside, they caught a glimpse of a bear right next to the vehicle.
"Oh shit!" CJ cried out. "Where the fuck that bear come from?!"
"Let's hope that bear didn't shit right next to the car!" LB yelled as the bear stood on its two feet and let out a roar. It prepared to charge to the friends.
"It's heading straight for us!" Cesar shouted as the bear came dashing to the friends.
CJ, Cesar, and LB quickly dodged out of the way to avoid the raging animal, but Ryder stood right in front of the animal armed with a shotgun.
"You want a piece of me, you punk ass grizz?!" Ryder shouted at the charging animal.
"Ryder!" CJ shouted. "What the fuck you doing?! Get out the way before it mauls you!"
"That grizzly can't stop me!" Ryder shouted. He pulled out the shotgun, aimed for the bear, and fired. The firing bullet hit the bear in front of the chest, and it fell dead to the ground. "What I tell ya?!" Ryder yelled. "Ain't no grizzly a match for a Grove OG!"
"Ryder, where the fuck did you get that shotgun?!" CJ asked.
"Emmet still got us covered even after we left LS," Ryder responded.
"Damn!" Cesar replied. "One less animal to worry about. You'd make a killer hunter, Ryder."
"Yeah," LB added. "Cold-blooded killer! True gangster shit!"
CJ just laughed like a lunatic.
"You a crazy ass nigga, Ryder!" CJ shouted in laughter. "Come on! There ain't no time for no Thanksgiving feast. We gotta take all this stuff back to the garage."
So CJ and his three friends took all the bags and paint cans and stored them in the back of the trunk of their vehicle. Before they had a chance to get into the car though, they were all of a sudden surrounded by the police around Angel Pine.
"Stay where you are!" one of the policemen shouted through a megaphone. "This is the police! Don't move a fucking muscle!"
"Ah shit!" CJ shouted. "What the fuck they trying to arrest us for?!"
"Apparently, shooting a vicious fucking animal in the fucking forest is against the goddamn law!" LB shouted getting into the driver's seat of the car. "Get in, fools!"
Ryder, CJ, and Cesar hopped inside as LB sped through the police. The cops cars followed them around, and CJ, Ryder, and Cesar shot at them as they blew up one by one.
"Damn it, LB!" CJ shouted. "Can't you go any fucking faster?!"
"This ain't no racecar, nigga!" LB replied. "I'm going as fast as I can!"
"These cops are fucking intense, holmes!" Cesar yelled. "We can't let them destroy the paint cans in the trunk!"
"I don't know what one-time so pissed off of!" Ryder shouted as he, CJ, and Cesar shot at the chasing police cars. "All I did was blasted a wild fucking animal out of self-defense."
"Well, let's focus on blasting these damn police cars to keep them off our fucking back!" CJ shouted. "We gotta return all the tools and paint cans back to the garage!"
"Hang on, guys!" LB said, making a sharp turn into the forest. They had lost the cops at this point. "Man, we gotta lose those assholes!"
"Ah shit!" CJ said, looking back to find more cops on motorbikes chasing them now. "How the fuck we gonna explain all this to Lisa?!"
"We ain't, motherfucker!" Ryder told him as he, CJ, and Cesar continued shooting at the cops on the bikes. "Because she ain't gonna find out at all!"
"She will once the cops chase us all the way to San Fierro!" CJ warned.
"Which is why we ain't driving there yet!" LB told him. "We driving around this forest until we shake the 5-0 off our tail!"
"Watch out for the trees, LB!" Cesar warned as the car drove past the forest.
LB drove past the trees, as several of the other cops on the bikes slammed into the trees. As LB finally drove downhill, more policemen on bikes rode down along them.
"Talk about painting the town red!" Ryder shouted as he and the other two shot at the police. "We painting the whole forest red – with 5-0's blood!"
"Look at them fall!" Cesar shouted. "They're all dropping like roaches, eh!"
By then, there was no one chasing them. Then CJ had an idea.
"Yo, LB!" CJ said. "Make a right turn over here in Red County!"
"A'ight, nigga!" LB said, and complied to CJ's order.
"Go as fast as you can!" CJ barked.
LB didn't say another word. He just stomped hard on the gas pedal and sped straight down the rode.
"Faster, LB, faster!" CJ chanted.
"The puto cops are back, hombre!" Cesar announced as the police were shown behind them.
"They ain't gonna stop us!" Ryder shouted.
"Just go up that ramp right ahead, LB!" CJ yelled. "JUMP!"
"A'ight!" LB agreed. "Hold on, boys!"
As LB kept his speed, he used the broken bridge as a ramp and made a huge leap on the other side of the road. All the policemen who hopped the bridge weren't so lucky, as they all fell off and plunged the river down below. CJ and his friends laughed heartedly.
"Great plan, CJ!" LB said.
"Si," Cesar replied. "How'd you know they all fall off, CJ?"
"This is the same jump me and Catalina took when we went out robbing here!" CJ told him. "So that's when it all hit me!"
"You must've had a real fun time with my cousin, eh," Cesar told him.
"Believe me, I'd like to use the word "fun" loosely," CJ told Cesar.
"Well one-time ain't gonna bother us, anymore!" Ryder said. "So take us back to the garage, LB!"
"Sure thing," LB responded, and he entered the road of the Montgomery Intersection and drove back to San Fierro.
The four friends finally made it back to the garage. As they exited the vehicle, then opened the trunk and pulled out the paint cans and tools.
"We got the paint cans, ladies," Cesar announced as he and the other three arrived inside the garage to meet up with Kendl and Lisa.
"And the tools," Ryder added. They all set the material down on the floor against the wall.
"Nice job, fellas," Kendl said. "Thanks for bringing them back in one piece!"
"No problem, sis," CJ told her. "We men like to work hard to help out."
"Yeah, great job getting the material, boys," Lisa replied. "You guys sure took a long time to get back here though. Was there anything going on over at Angel Pine or something?"
"Naw, not at all," Ryder said. "It was just packed in that hardware store."
Lisa stepped closer to Ryder. "You're telling the truth, right Lance?" she asked him. "Y'all didn't get into trouble with any police or gangs or any of that shit?"
"Jeah," Ryder responded. "It just took a while for us to get this shit back to the garage, that's all."
"You ain't lying?" Lisa asked.
"Naw, Lisa, I promise," Ryder said.
Lisa just stared at Ryder hard. Since he was the troublemaker of the crew, Lisa always suspected her brother whenever the group would be in a pickle. Ryder wasn't too nervous. He knew how to feign a serious expression to cover up his own troubles – which is why he always wore sunglasses.
After a few seconds, Lisa then backed off.
"Okay then," Lisa answered. "Just remember, there's a difference between being hard-working men and assholes who do petty shit in order to reach their goal by sordid means. Stay out of trouble, Lance! That goes to the rest of you guys!"
"Yes, ma'am!" they all said. They knew that Lisa was being serious about not getting her involved in illegal activities. So they had to keep all the random nonsense they went through to gain the material to design the garage a secret from her.
"Good," Kendl added. "We're trying to run a business, not become crime lords. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go buy a non-alcoholic drink." She walked out of the garage.
"So I'll be inside the office to see what else we should get," Lisa said, walking back into the office. "You guys, just take five until I come back out."
CJ watched as Lisa started walking to the office. He surreptitiously stared at her round, shapely behind again as her hips swayed back and forth while she was walking. He felt another erection coming in. He did his best to keep his mouth shut to not only keep from Lisa finding out, but to keep from the others finding out.
"Ha!" LB whispered in CJ's ear as Lisa walked into the office. "I saw you staring at her ass again!"
"I wasn't," CJ denied in a whispering tone of voice. "I-I-I was staring at the-the-the wall."
"Come on, CJ," Cesar whispered in his other ear. "Just admit that you want to get with her. I think you two would look sweet together."
"Yo anybody hungry?" Ryder asked randomly, standing distantly from the other three.
