Chapter 36: The Ultimatum and the Hunt For Allies
New Arcadia (3 Weeks Earlier)
The cool winter air seemed to blowing on this night in the 17th Ward of New Arcadia as five members of the Ballas found themselves kicking back at the corner of Rethink Blvd and De Soto when an all-black Glendale pulled up in front of them and caught them all by surprise.
"The fuck is this?" asked one Balla who looked to have been about seventeen years old. He was an African American with short black hair and wearing a white t-shirt with purple writing on it, baggy black jeans, and white shoes.
"Be cool son!" replied the older man of the group who looked to be in his mid 30's. He was a dark skinned African American man of obvious Haitian Descent with dark brown hair shaved into a crew cut, a trimmed beard, beady black eyes, and wearing a black jacket over a purple t-shirt, black jeans, and black and purple shoes.
As the doors of the Glendale opened the group watched as a light skinned African American man with his hair cut into cornrows stepped out of the Glendale with two other African American men.
"What this about Scooter?" he asked while the man eyed him closely.
"Nothing, just cleaning up you ball-sacks shit with the Dixies Rico." The Midwestern Gangster shot back while eyeing the Balla angrily.
"We keep telling you niggas that shit wasn't us. We didn't hit them white boys and we don't know who did." He replied.
"Well they seem to think otherwise and we're starting to feel the same way." Lil Scooter with a slight chuckle. "And like we said before you can move their shit on our turf, it just means you gotta kick up a bigger tax for it." He added.
"Bullshit!" the young Balla member yelled out.
"Easy Stanley." Rico ordered without taking his eyes off Scooter. "What makes you think we gonna pay you at all?" he asked.
"Because Mark and that little crew of fuck-ups he roll with ain't here to watch your ass no more and you don't want beef with us because we'll roll right over you and take what you got." He shot back while Rico eyed him angrily.
"Ballas don't roll over." Rico shot back before throwing a hard-right hook that connected with the side of Scooters head leaving him stumbling before returning with a punch of his own that hit Rico clean in the nose. He then pressed his attack by slamming shoulder tackling the New Arcadia Balla and slamming him on the ground.
As the duo fought another scuffle seemed to break out as the Balla and Gangster Apostle Soldiers decided not be spectators and followed their OG's into battle.
The cracking sound fist connecting with bodies seemed to fill the air as a Balla member punched an Apostle several times in the chest before hitting him in the mouth only for the Midwest Gangster to come back with an uppercut that hit the man in the chin and left him reeling for a few seconds before returning the shot with much more force.
Stanley was the youngest Balla in the group and his inexperience in fighting was showing as he was punched twice in the face and sent reeling by an Apostle just as another jumped in the fight and started to rat pack him.
The Ballas lacked in numbers but they seemed to be holding their own as one tall dark-skinned man with 17 tattooed on the side of his neck two-pieced a GA member in the nose and sent him falling back before moving to another man and hitting him twice in the chest just as another one jumped on his back and tried to choke him.
Along with this Rico had finally gotten the upper hand on Scooter as he rolled over and forced the man onto his back while he was on top of him. The Balla OG then proceeded to pound into the face of the Kin Nation supporter until blood shot from his mouth.
"POKE HIM!" Scooter yelled out to Rico's confusion before he felt a sharp pain in his side and gave a loud shriek of pain before looking down and noticing a switch blade sticking out of his side with a GA member holding it. The Balla responded by backhanding the GA member with enough force to bloody both of his lips and send him falling back while Rico attempted to pull the blade out of his side.
"Piece of-!" Scooter started before the sound of three gunshots caught the attention of everyone and caused them to turn their heads and notice Stanley standing over the body of one of the GA members who was rat-packing him with a Glock 21 in his hands. The young Balla member in his rage had shot that man three times at point blank range in the chest with the Midwestern Gangsters own gun.
Then with blood still leaking from his mouth, nose, and an eye that was already blackened turned the gun on the other man who raised his hands in the air and went to plead for his life only to be silenced as Stanley squeezed the trigger on the gun and hit the man once in the throat causing him to fall-down while clutching the wound.
The Southern Gangster then turned the gun on Scooter who eyed him angrily as he yelled to the man "Leave now!"
"This shit ain't over bitch." Scooter yelled out as he and the remaining GA members hopped in their cars and drove away from the scene leaving their two fallen behind while Stanley stood tall and bloody with Rico looking up at him with a mixed expression.
He was glad the BG had saved his life but he knew what he just unleashed by doing so and he doubted that any of them were ready for it.
Present
The sun was rising on this day in New Arcadia but the air was still cold as can be to Alison who found herself doing her morning jog in a pink long-sleeved running jacket and black yoga pants. She had gotten up a little earlier to do her jogging since it was supposed to get a little colder later.
She had to admit she liked the cold having grown up in Waston but she hated the wind that seemed to be constantly blowing in New Arcadia. It was strong enough to take her breath away and leave her freezing in her jacket. It was almost hard to believe that she was in the South and not the North.
As she turned a corner and started to run down it she couldn't help but to keep a watchful eye on her surroundings. She was remaining vigilant just incase one of those people from the other night tried to come after her. She'd been having bad dreams about that night and just wished they would stop, but that seemed easier said then done.
As she turned another corner she noticed a dark gray Bravado Gresley parked on the corner with tinted windows as she started to approach the vehicle she couldn't help but to reach in her back waistband and grab the handle of her Sig Sauer P226 just for precaution.
To her surprise those as the tinted windows rolled down on the vehicle she noticed a familiar BSU member sitting in the drivers seat with a smile on her face.
"You gotta loosen up a bit." Link greeted causing Alison to let out a sigh of relief.
"Don't scare me like that." She shot back with a smile.
"Sorry, it's still too hot for us to be seen in New Arcadia so we gotta move around incognito." He replied while Alison nodded her head. "Have you found out anything on this Boone guy?" he asked earning a shake of the head from the FIB Agent.
"Nothing yet, you'd be surprised how many people in the south are named Boone." He replied.
"Maybe you should check records from the Midwest, because that guy didn't have a Southern accent." Link replied earning a slight nod from Alison.
"Widening my search could take longer." She shot back. "But it seems worth looking into." She retorted while Link nodded his head.
"At a girl." He said before reaching down and pulling out a piece of paper and passing it to her.
"What's this?" she asked with a raised brow.
"The address of our new hideout in New Arcadia. It's still on the down-low but if you want to find us we'll be there." He replied.
"I thought you said it was too dangerous for you here?" she asked.
"It is, but we can't stay hiding forever." He replied. "Oh that reminds me Jimmy and Manfred came back last night." He added to Alison's surprise and joy.
"Thank god for that, where are they now?" she asked with glee in her tone.
"They're handling something out in Red Stick, but they said they'll stop by to see you later." He replied with a smile.
"Is Lee with them?" she asked.
"No he's still on the East Coast, but he still makes calls to us." He shot back.
"Well the next time he calls you be sure to give the phone to me." She shot back while Lee Link nodded his head.
"Consider it done, have a nice day at work." He shot back before driving away from the woman who couldn't help but to focus her mind on the Chinese man and what he was doing at the moment.
Elsewhere
Things seemed calm in the 17th Ward for Rico as he, Stanley, and six other Balla members found themselves at a restaurant that was just a few blocks from their main neighborhood of Holly Park.
These last few days there had been a tit-for-tat game going on between the Ballas and the Gangster Apostles with bodies being dropped on both sides. Despite bodies being dropped on both sides and the Voodoo Park Ballas being the hometown gang they seemed to be taking the most losses. To those that knew about the war it could be best described like a scoreboard Apostles 3 Ballas 1.
His stab wound had healed well these last few days since he wasn't hit in any vital areas, but it still gave him problems. Despite that though last night he "Went Out For Food" and ended up killing two Apostles and injuring two more in a drive-by shooting. He didn't care just how trained or well-organized those GA assholes were, if they stepped to the Ballas they were gonna be in for a fight.
"You Rico you good man?" asked a Balla member with gold teeth.
"Yeah, shit don't hurt that much just being hurt since last night." He replied while Stanley chuckled at his response.
"That AK do that shit to you." The younger man yelled out causing Rico to silence him anger. He was grateful the young Balla had saved his life, but at the end of the day he was one of their black sheep. He was hot-headed, impatient, and trigger-happy which in his experience leads to men like himself and those around him getting arrested.
"Quiet yourself, we got enough problems with the GA. We don't need too many niggas in the street knowing shit." Rico shot back while the older members nodded their head.
"Why, we should be flaunting that shit. Mark and his fucking rainbow niggas ain't here no more so we gotta stand up on our own and if dropping bodies do that then let's-." Stanley started before he was interrupted by a loud gunshot followed by a bullet punching through the wall and striking him clean in the neck.
"Shit!" said Rico as he and the others watched as Stanley grabbed his throat and tried to keep pressure on his own wound just as a barrage of bullets came flying through the walls and striking more Balla members including Rico who was hit once in the side and once in the arm.
"Motherfucker!" he yelled out while falling to the ground then looking up and watching as a Balla member with a skull-cap was shot twice in the head while another was hit in the chest and blew onto the table while his blood oozed onto the floor.
As Rico moved to crawl to cover he was taken by surprise as he looked at the body of Stanley and noticed the men still trying to cling to life as the gunfire stopped and the sound of shouts and footsteps filled the air.
"Stanley hang on man." Rico yelled out while trying to reach for his gun only to let out a violent yell as something came crashing down and crushed his hand under its weight.
As he looked up Rico was taken by surprise to see an African American woman standing over him with an Assault Rifle in her hands.
"There's no fighting back for you." She let out as Rico watched as a bald light-skinned African American man walked into the restaurant carrying an AA-12 Shotgun and looked down at the body of Stanley with an emotionless look in his eyes.
"No!" Rico yelled out before watching as Doom pointed the gun at the man's head before squeezing the trigger once and blowing off the side of his head.
"Bag him, we'll use him to send a message." The former Green Beret ordered before watching as Queen smiled at Doom before striking him in the side of the head with the butt of her gun and successfully knocking him out cold.
Dockington City
On the East Coast of the United States there stood a city so much like New Arcadia. It was another city with a rich history, great legacy, and what seemed to be endless crime. It was this city that the BSU orphans got their start and it was this city where they first retreated.
Just outside of the city limits though the song The Warriors by Price of Punishment filled the air along with the sound of a buffer going against metal as three members of the Heathens Motorcycle club found themselves standing in a warehouse that doubled as one of their chop shops.
Along with Motorcycle Gang were five members of another so called gang that many had once thought were defunct. The five gang members were Caucasian and looked to be in the early to late twenties and dressing mostly similar but their biggest thing that kept them looking the same was their denim jackets with a shark stitched on the back.
The sound of a horn honking seemed to get their attention though as they watched a moving truck drive into the warehouse with a Heathens member who looked to be in his late 30's riding on the side before jumping off as the truck came to a complete stop.
"Frankie and the boys are unloading the trailer." He said while looking to the Shark members. "Break this down for parts." He ordered before moving to the passenger door of the truck, opening the door, and then pulling out the body of a Cuban American man who had been visibly beaten to death.
The Heathens member then started to go through the man's pocket before finally pulling out his wallet and then exploring the contents of it.
"Take care of this." He said while pulling money from the wallet then watching as two Shark members grab the man by his arms and legs then started to carry him away.
As they walked away from the truck another Heathens member with a pressure washer started to make his way to the truck and begin to hose the blood out of the seats and off the window.
While he was doing that he was wearing headphones with music that was loudly blaring so he was unable to hear the screams, shouts, and five Shotgun blast that went off in the distance until one shot from the went hit a Sharks member in the chest and caused his blood to mist out his back and stain the side of the truck.
The sight of the blood seemed to shock and confuse the man who slowly turned his head and noticed a Chinese man with blood covering his face approaching him with a Mossberg 500 with a ten-round drum magazine attached to it.
"Wait-!" the man started to plead only to be taken by surprise as Lee lifted the Shotgun and fired a slug into the man's chest blowing out his heart, lungs, and rib cage and sending him flying backwards into the truck. Lee then quickly pulled out his Walkie Talkie and went to speak on it.
"I've secured the truck, you're a go." He stated while walking to the back of the truck and opening the trailer to see that it was filled with crates.
As Lee went through the crates six Heathens MC members on their way to the warehouse. The man leading the charge was Craig "Spawn" Johnsons. He was a Caucasian man in his late 40's with short graying hair, dark green eyes, and wearing the usual clothes of a biker while riding on a black Zombie.
He was the presidents of the Heathens within Maryland and ran much of their operations with his Sgt. At Arms and younger brother Tony "Hell Spawn" Johnson. Tony was the heavier man and was much younger than his older brother but he was also the dumber of the two.
As the two brothers lead their convoy of Heathens down the freeway they failed to notice an all-black Gauntlet pulling up behind them with a Dominican American man with short black hair, dark black eyes, and wearing a black leather jacket, black jeans, and black and white shoes behind the drivers seat.
"Time to clip some road hogs." He said with a slight chuckle before slamming on the gas petal of his car and sending it rocketing forward and plowing into the back of the convoy of Heathens sending three members flying off their bikes and over the car while two one man was thrown from his bike.
At the last second though both Johnson brothers, could maneuver out of the way of the car as it sped past them with a bike under its rim.
"Shit!" Tony yelled before looking to his brother and turning to drive away while the Dominican man pulled his car to a halt and watched as the two Heathens member rode in the other direction. He debated going after them but he wouldn't catch up to them fast enough with one of the Heathens bike jammed under the front of his car.
"Damn another day." He said while watching the duo ride off with anger in his eyes.
New Arcadia
After her jog Alison found herself getting a call from Steve saying that they needed to go the New Arcadia Police Station. This came to her as a shock because it mostly meant that they would more than likely be seeing Locke and she was wondering on what he had to say.
As she walked through the front door of the station she was taken by surprise to see Locke talking with not only Steve but Sawyer, Regina, and another man. This man was an elderly Caucasian man with short white hair, a heavy build, and was wearing the uniform of a police officer but wore the strips of a lieutenant.
"Ah she's here." Said Locke as he smiled at Alison while Regina quickly gave her a hug and Sawyer just nodded his head.
"What's this about?" she asked while looking to Locke and the Lieutenant.
"We needed you here to discuss something." Locke replied before leading the group into an office room where they all quickly took seats at a long table.
"If you haven't met him yet this man is Lieutenant Stonehart and he's got some news for all of us." He replied while looking to the man.
"Now I know you FIB Agents have been working hard on catching the New Arcadia Butcher, especially with all the things he's done to torture you." He stated while looking to Alison and Steve.
"Just get to the point." Steve ordered.
"Well he's been quiet these last couple of months and we believe he isn't in New Arcadia and the city can't possibly afford to keep giving you funding for a chasing someone whose in the wind." He stated to Alison's shock.
"So you're getting rid of us?" she asked with fear and worry in her voice.
"No the case is still open, we're just asking that you switch focus to a more pressing matter in the meantime." He replied earning confused looks from the duo.
"What pressing matter?" Steve asked before watching as Locke slammed a folder down on a table in front of the group.
"Over the pass few weeks we've had what officers are calling Massive Gang-On-Gang Overkill worse than we've seen." Locke stated while the group looked at the photos and noticed pictures of men riddled with bullets. "Last night the Ballas took a hit sixteen dead, hit by guys with guns that could eat through walls and bulletproof vest and keep going." He replied to the groups shock.
"A couple of days ago they took another hit and lost twelve guy and a few weeks before that the Dixie Mafia took a hit matching all these MO's." he added.
"Jesus are you sure this a gang war and that these guys haven't pissed off a paramilitary group?" asked Sawyer.
"When we looked at the case we thought instantly that this had to be Marcus Roman and his crew." Regina added earning Alison's attention.
"Marcus Roman?" Steve asked with a raised brow while Locke gave him a confused look.
"Marcus Roman, is a player in New Arcadia and a mystery to some. His father and his brother are gang leaders and he ran the 17th Ward." Regina started before walking over to a board and pulling down the tarp over it showing a picture gallery of the Roman Crime Family. "We don't know how or where he got it but Marcus Roman is a one man army. He doesn't have a military background but he had the training, knowledge, firepower to fight his way to earning control of the 17th Ward. Mark was going into gangsters own turf and taking them out with military precision. A few years ago some Ballas came to Mark's house in an attempt to kill him, but when we got there we nineteen dead Ballas." She stated while Sawyer and Locke sent looks to Mark.
"We were trying build a case against them, but a few months ago he and his family just disappeared vanished off the face of the Earth." Locke replied.
"I say he's dead." Sawyer shouted out causing Alison to look his way.
"A lot of people are saying that, and a lot more people are saying he's coming back. In my opinion though I think he's back and he's targeting everyone that crossed him. He went after the Dixie's as a favor to his father for that murder they did a few months ago of a young boy in the 3rd Ward and they hit the Ballas because rumors on the street is that the Ballas set them up to be killed." Regina stated to Alison's confusion.
"Which is why before they do too much damage we want you to make a move against them." Stonehart stated to the group's confusion. "We want to merge you into the case and ask for your help on bringing them down. With your resources we should be able to find them in no time." He added while looking to Steve.
"I'll talk to my superiors but if you ask me I'd help. These guys seem like they need to be taken off the streets immediately." He replied while Alison stayed silent.
"You do that." Stonehart replied before walking out of the room while Locke eyed the group closely.
"We putting the band back together Locke?" Sawyer asked with a smile.
"Seems that way, come on I need to talk to you and Alison." He replied while Steve and Regina gave the man a confused look before watching them walk out of the room and make their way to Locke's office.
"What's that about?" Steve asked while looking to Regina.
"I don't know, but I want to know." She replied as Locke closed the door to his office.
"Okay I already know you two are having problems with this case because I already know you know it's not the Roman's that are doing this." He stated.
"Of course we already know the GA are here and they're moving in on Mark's territory and doing Joe's dirty work." Sawyer replied.
"Exactly, but the DA thinks that the GA is just another street gang trying to seek power with nothing up their sleeves. I want you to find proof of that Alison." He stated while she gave him a confused look.
"How am I supposed to do that?" she asked with a confused expression.
"You're gonna have to find a way because if you don't Mark's gonna be found and arrested and I know you don't want to see that." He pointed out while Alison gave a sharp nod before heading out of the room.
Metra, Lincoln Parish
With the war between the black gangs in New Arcadia over, things in Metra had finally started to slow down for the Azteca's as Miguel found himself cruising through the streets of Metra in his dark blue Tornado with Felix and Adahy in the backseats.
As he looked down the streets he couldn't help but to feel a ping of anger in his heart. The war with the gangs in New Arcadia or more so BSU had left the Azteca with a loss of over sixty percent of their original numbers. Not only them but the Vagos were also on the fence with them losing more than half of their numbers and their territory in the Rose District.
Despite joining in the war late Marabunta was almost thrown under the bus. The arrest of their member's years prior already left them under manned but this war left them holding on by a very thin piece of thread.
They fought hard but at the end of the day they all had mixed feelings about the war. Ernesto saw it as a win because they had earned their respect from the New Arcadia gangs. Miguel felt entirely different on the matter though. They had lost many Soldados to prison, deportation, and a hot bullet, they had lost territory, and at the end of it all Mark, Joe, and many other New Arcadia gangsters are breathing while they're licking their wounds.
What seemed to hurt him more so though was the fact that not only could they not hold out against the New Arcadia gangs, but they had to call in backup all the way from Los Santos and Arizona to do it. Most of the damage done in New Arcadia was a result of Neto, he saw the man as his carnale, but at the end of the day he was an outsider who had to come states over just to bail them out a massacre.
When he first came to New Arcadia he thought the war was going to be one-sided with his father leading the charge, but instead almost every battle they fought against Mark, Lee, or his brothers turned into a loss where they only survived because they ran fast enough or because he showed leniency.
With that thought in mind Miguel gave a low groan as he remembered the feeling of being strung up by Lee and beaten with a broomstick. His groan seemed to earn the attention of Adahy and Felix who turned to face him and noticed the angry expression on his face.
"Que you okay mano?" Felix asked while Miguel turned to him.
"Yeah I'm fine." He replied before making a turn and pulling his car into a liquor store before stepping out and making his way inside the store while Felix sent a look to Adahy.
"What's bothering him?" he asked.
"Everything." Adahy shot back to Felix's confusion. "If you look at the way this war ended we lost. Mark, Joe, and all those New Arcadia leaders are still breathing while we lost two leaders, a territory, most of our soldiers, and to top it off Ernesto's lost face with Onda. This war was a lost." He finished.
"If it's a loss for us look at them now." The man of Quechan descent shot back while Miguel walked out of the store and quickly was taken aback by the sight of three men of Mexican descent standing outside of the store selling drugs to the junkies as they came by.
After watching them do so the man quickly walked over to the trio with an angry expression on his face as he yelled out to them. "You know where you are Cabron?"
As he got into an argument with the group Felix and Adahy stepped out of the car and approached the group.
"You're on Azteca turf ese." He shouted out while the trio chuckled.
"Tell someone who cares Pinche Chavala." The lead man said as he got in Miguel's face while raising up his shirt and revealing that he had a pistol tucked in his waistband.
"Think that makes you a man, I'm an Ondero." He shot back while Adahy and Felix took up sides beside him.
"That shit may mean something in New Austin but not here. So step off my turf bitch." He replied while reaching for his gun while Felix grabbed Miguel by the arm and proceeded to pull him away.
"This shit ain't over puto, you're gonna see me again." He shot back while the man chuckled.
"Look forward to it motherfucker." He replied while watching Miguel slide into his car and drive away in a huff.
Dockington City
The site of the city skyline seemed to bring back a great deal of memories for Lee as he found himself sitting on the balcony of a luxury hotel in Downtown Dockington watching as the sun hovered set high above the high buildings.
Much of the city had changed since he was last here. He never remembered as many whites living on the East Side as they're now. It had been almost nine years since he last been back in this city, and he doubted anyone would recognize him but he wasn't taking any chances so he chose to avoid the West and East sides where he knew the BGA influence was strong.
"The view hasn't changed much since you left it." Came a familiar voice to the Chinese man who turned his head and noticed a woman of Cuban descent walk into the room. She was much older then him probably in her late 30's or early 40's with long black hair, dark brown eyes, and almond colored skin while wearing a white button up shirt, dark khaki pants, and brown boots.
"Yeah not much is being done to improve cities these days." Lee shot back while looking at the window before turning his attention back to the woman. Her name was Luna Diaz, and she was one of the groups close associates while living in Dockington City and in the past assigned them to numerous jobs.
"Tell me this, how does a Cuban Smuggler like yourself find yourself in a war between Bikers and their…wannabes?" he asked while smiling at the woman as she took a seat on the couch next to a sofa. "I mean I understand wars with Spanish Lords, Dominicans, Yardies, and even Russians but how Bikers?"
"I don't do the smuggling anymore idiota." She replied while Lee smiled at her.
"You're just waiting for the opportunity to get back on a boat." He shot back while Luna sent a slight smile.
In the past she and her three brothers were smuggler for a crime family out in Cuba. They would steal things in the United States then ship them back to Cuba to be sold on the black market. Along with that they would smuggle drugs into the US from Cuba. These drugs would be sold to street gangs in Vice and across the Northeast.
"It started a few years ago, the Bikers in Vice were patched into the Lost Motorcycle Club and the Lost made a stronghold in the state. My brothers set up a deal with them, they mule our coka across the Northeast and into Liberty City to be sold to our clients we give them a cut of our money." She replied while Lee nodded his head.
"I seem to remember that." He replied.
"After the bosses in Liberty thought it was smart to move to Los Santos it caused a vacuum effect within the Lost MC. A new leader stepped up and decided that he wasn't going to be moving our coka anymore but selling it himself. He set up a chapter in Virginia and later that chapter found itself in a war with the Heathens, Angels of Death, and Huns and at the end of it the Heathens stood tall." she stated to Lee nodded his head.
"And they made you pay for your relationship with the Lost." He replied earning a nod from Luna.
"With the Lost gone we've had to start back transporting our own trucks to Liberty, and the Heathens have been hitting and hijacking them. They want to be the only one's bringing coke in to be sold in Liberty." she replied while Lee nodded his head.
"You know they're bikers right. They have big fucking houses with their names on them that should be targets for where to hit them." Lee replied before being interrupted as a familiar Dominican man walked into the room and eyed him closely.
"Heathens are different mano, they don't have clubhouses and they don't display what state they're from so they're a lot harder to track…until now." He stated while Lee and Luna gave him confused looks. "We caught one of those putos with his pants down and he gave up a location." He finished while Lee nodded his head.
"Put together a crew then Robbie and have them on standby. We're gonna sit on the place before we hit it." Lee replied earning a slight nod from the man.
"Sounds good." He said before walking out of the room while Luna sent a chuckle to Lee.
"You've been here a week and already you're taking charge of my Soldados." She stated while Lee gave a chuckle.
"You forget Robbie was one of us back in Sunbelt so it's only instinct for him to follow us." Lee retorted.
"And he's been a fine addition to my operation, but I have to ask are you here for him?" she asked causing Lee to give her a confused expression. "You risked coming all this way from New Arcadia for something and I don't think it's me." She added while Lee walked over to her and stood directly before her causing her to lift her head to stare into his eyes.
"Actually I came here all for you." He said while eyeing her closely.
"You couldn't handle me." She replied.
"We'll see about that when I get back." He replied before walking away from her and grabbing his Shotgun as he headed for the door.
Sunbelt City
The smell of the dry air and the warm sun beaming down on his face seemed to be two of the things Ernesto seemed to miss the most about being back in Sunbelt. He never thought he'd miss such things before. San Andreas and New Austin seemed to have the same type of weather but Louisiana was different. The air was moist and the temperature was humid.
What he missed though was the fact that he wasn't being attacked by mosquitos right now as he sat at a table outside one of his favorite restaurants in the city. He loved the place because they made authentic Mexican cuisines. The type of food Americans think they know about but have never had the time of day to try because of the time it takes to make it.
After a few moments of sitting though, he watched as a man of Mexican-American descent with a shaved head, handlebar mustache, and wearing a black button up shirt that was tucked into his khaki pants, a black Boater hat, and dress shoes walked into the restaurant. To some this man's name was Jose Flores but to many others he was known as El Hermano Grande, the Big Brother. Like Ernesto he was an old school Ondero in New Austin that had the luxury of being outside of the prisons.
As he approached Ernesto the old school gangster quickly rose to his feet and greeted the man with a hug and a handshake that Flores returned with a brotherly smile.
("Me alegra que lo hicieras mano.")
"Glad you could make it brother." Ernesto stated while Flores gave a chuckle at his greeting.
("Difícil no cuando escoger mi familia restaurante.")
"Hard not to when you choose to eat at my family owned restaurant." He replied before taking a seat across from Ernesto just as a Mexican woman walked over and took their orders.
"So how have you been carnale how's your family?" he asked just as the woman walked away.
"They're doing well. Carmen is a doctor in Louisiana but she's trying to come back to the states." He replied earning a nod from Flores.
"Nina, she always had two things going for her. Her mother's smile and her father's commitment for success." He declared earning a chuckle from Ernesto.
"Lupe moved back down to Mexico and has a farm out there and Angela will be graduating from College in Liberty City later this year-." He started before being cut off by Flores.
"Que Pasa Miguel, he still the same old hot-head?" he asked with a serious look in his eyes.
"He is and I'm still doing my hardest to mold that boy into something better." He replied.
"You want my opinion Carnale, you failed that task when you let him get down with the Carnales." He retorted knowing well his statement may hurt the man's feelings but also wanting to be straight with him.
"You know when I was locked up I always hoped that all my kids wouldn't follow the same path as me, because I had already lost one son to it. I tried my hardest to steer them clear of it, but Miguel...he got a taste of the Varrio and like me fell under the same addiction." he stated while Flores eyed him closely. "I tell myself every day that I'm going to be there to protect him, but in the back of my head I know what's going to happen to him."
"The Hospital, the Prison, or the Cemetery. La Vida Loca, the Crazy life." Flores stated while showing Ernesto the palm of his hands that had the three dots to represent the statement. "The life we chose to live and never walk away from." He added.
He didn't want to say it out loud or even think about it, but he knew that if Miguel continued the path he was going there was going to be no prison or hospitals for him because he'd more than likely continue his ways within the two. He once made a joke that if he was in a wheelchair he'd be cooking his dope from the wheelchair. It was funny to younger homies but Ernesto knew that's not the life he wanted his son to live.
"How are we here within the Life?" he asked while eyeing Flores closely.
"Well if you haven't heard already you're out bad in San Andreas, but your connections with us kept you and Miguel safe from a greenlight." He replied while Ernesto nodded his head.
"But why, the sole reason we're in New Arcadia in the first place is to avenge what happened to the Carnales cousin." He replied while Flores nodded his head.
"I understand that mano, a lot of us do, but at the end of the day we've lost too much there." He replied to Ernesto's confusion. "South siders have always had a hard time operating in New Arcadia or Louisiana as a whole and when they went to prison almost all bets of them being safe were off, but your war made it a lot harder for them live and it made la raza a target." He added while eyeing Ernesto closely.
"Is the man dead?" he asked while Ernesto went silent.
"No!" he retorted.
"This man took you on, took on a man like Santa Muerte, and is still alive walking around to talk about it and not only that he's put a bunch of us in the ground there while you did what?" he asked.
"At the end of the day we aren't going to be taking New Arcadia soon. So right now you should be focusing on protecting what's yours and making money not war." He replied while eyeing the man closely.
"But what if war comes knocking?" he asked.
"Then you have to step up and handle it. I know you're older now, but you know first-hand the strength of a barrio relies solely on the people in it. Not by who their allies are and who's coming to help the fastest but by who's willing to throw down the hardest." He replied while Ernesto remained silent.
"You have power here carnale, but it's not going to be the same in everywhere." He added just as the woman came back with their food. Ernesto had ordered Pechuga adobada which was basically a Chicken Breast in salsa of with a side of chayote, mushrooms, corn and chili peppers. Flores had ordered an enchilada with beef but the restaurant had also given him some limes on the side.
"In the meantime if you want to regain the respect of the other Carnales there's something you can do for them." He replied earning a nod from Ernesto. "I'll tell you after we finish eating, I don't like to discuss business over food. It has a way of making it sour." He replied while Ernesto gave a slight chuckle while knowing the truth in his statement.
New Arcadia
On the docks of the 17th Ward and bordered by two large warehouses there was a small store that sold fishing gear, equipment, and bait. This place was called Mackey's Fishing. If one were to go inside, one would see that the store was fully stocked yet void of people. That's because this place was one of many fronts that the BSU members used to launder the money they gained from street taxes and heist. So on paper the place was making a profit but in reality it wasn't.
Above the store there was a small office with it's own apartment section. This apartment was now the knew main office for the BSU gang and the store itself was their headquarters in the 17th Ward. It was small, but they're on the defensive now and have to start back from scratch of where they once where if they want to rise back to the top.
As Manfred made his way up the stairs to the office and went to knock on the door he was taken off-guard as the door to the office opened and six African American men stepped out with mixed facial expressions before walking out of the upstairs section.
"Fucking politics." Link said as he fell back in his chair behind the office desk and took a big sigh.
"Who were they?" the Indian man asked while walking up to the desk.
"Those are our muscle." He replied to Manfred's confusion. "Andre said there are still a few guys in the 17th Ward that don't like the way the GA are running things. So I've been calling them here to talk and hoping that they'll stick with us when the war starts." He finished.
"And how is that going?" he asked.
"They always come with the same questions?" he replied with a chuckle.
"Where's Mark, where's Lee, when will they be back, how can they help us now, and all that bullshit." Link shot back. "I'm telling you though it's getting annoying."
"They need a leader with a body count and with mine at zero and yours at five that's kinda small." He replied causing Link to eye him confusingly.
"Five, since we've known each other you've never seen or heard about me killing anybody what makes you think I've killed before?" he asked.
"Have you met your brothers?" he asked earning a slight chuckle from Link.
"Still even if they get a leader he won't be leading much. A lot of these guys are pissed Mark left, a lot of them are tired of them leaving, and some will cheer us on as we fight but won't lift a finger to help us." He replied while Manfred nodded his head before the group heard a knock at the door and watched as a familiar redheaded woman walked inside the office.
"There's our big sis." Manfred replied as Alison walked over to him with a smile and gave him a big hug that he gratefully returned.
"The next time you boys leave for so long I'm gonna put out an APB." She said earning a chuckle from the Indian man.
"So how do you like the new clubhouse?" Link asked while Alison gave him a confused look.
"It seems small." She replied.
"It's a work in progress." Manfred replied.
"Jimmy says that if we're gonna gain the support of other gangs we need to have an operation in our main district of control and well here we are." He replied while Alison looked around the place.
"Makes sense, but you guys seem a little undermanned and out in the open." She shot back.
"We lack protection, but we're not too underexposed." Came a familiar voice that caused Alison to whip her head around with a smile and notice Jimmy standing behind her with Buck, Davey, and Eddy. Her smile quickly faded though as she took in the noticeable scar on the side of Jimmy's face.
"Don't worry it just looks bad but it doesn't hurt." He replied with a half-smile that quickly faded as Alison brought him in for a tight hug that he returned.
"I'm just glad you're okay." She said while Jimmy nodded his head.
"Gonna take a lot more than some lightweight with a knife to kill me." He replied earning a slight smile from the woman who gave a low chuckle before pulling away from the man with visible tears in her eyes as she looked them all over.
"You're all back in one piece…well most you." She said with a slight chuckle.
"Don't worry once Lee finishes up his mission he'll be back here with us and Mark…you know he keeps his leash short." Jimmy stated while Alison nodded her head.
"Right, there's a reason why I'm here." She said to the boys confusion. "The DA is looking to bring you down and Mark's entire family." She stated to their shock.
"They want us to help the New Arcadia Police Department with their case and they believe that you guys and Mark and behind all the violence that's been going on these last few days." She added.
"Bullshit, they GA are taking out anyone that's resisting them and the Ballas are at the top of that list." Davey declared.
"They think it's you because of the tactics and weapons these guys have." She let out.
"Our weapons are a cake walk you saw that fucking Rocket Launcher with me." Link let out.
"I know but I can't just come out and say the GA are behind this violence when I don't have any proof of this." she replied.
"We can prove that." Said Jimmy to the woman's confusion as she looked to the young man who turned to Link who held a shocked look on his face. "Might as well put some use to him." He stated before making his way out of the office with Alison and the others following him as he walked out of the store.
"if you have a faint heart I suggest you look away." He stated before moving to open the doors on the warehouse to the left of the store.
Once the door was open the group looked inside and instantly recoiled in shock and disgust at the sight before them. Sitting in the middle of the room was a naked African American man who couldn't have been no older than twenty-three tied to a chair. Upon looking at the man one could tell he had been beaten, burned, cut up, in a long torture session.
As Alison looked him over she noticed that the man was covered head to toe in blood and bruises but his most prominent scars was a nasty looking cut on the right side of his chest where someone must have taken a piece of his flesh. The man's right hand was also missing and he various scrapes and scratches across his blood covered face.
"Oh god!" said Alison as she ran away from the group and ran to the edge of the pier where the group watched her throw up her breakfast and lunch into the murky waters.
"Maybe we shouldn't have shown her him all at once." Stated Eddy as the group watched as Link and Jimmy approached the woman who seemed frozen in place.
"I know what we did is hard to look at but hopefully you can understand where my anger is coming from." Stated Jimmy as he watched Alison continue to bend over the pier and spit out the remainder of her vomit. "These assholes came all the way down from the Midwest to fight us when we've done nothing to them. They went after you, Ana, Link, and damn near put Mark in the group. They burned down my house, they killed some of the people I killed friends in the 17th, and they're going to keep doing it if we don't stop them. And we're gonna stop them, even if we have to take this war to depths none of us have ever seen before." He finished while eyeing Alison closely and watching as she turned to her with an unreadable facial expression.
"How much does he knows and how is he gonna help us?" she asked with a raised brow.
"Like this." Jimmy said before walking away from her and making her way over to the man and giving him a firm slap on the face that awoke him.
"Hey wake up there is no sleeping." He said causing the GA member to shake under his touch as he looked at the red headed man with fear in his eyes. "Now if you want to live you're gonna do something for us." He said before looking over to Alison.
"You see that pretty woman right there, she's a cop and she's gonna take you to a hospital and they're gonna fix you up. Do you want that?" he asked while watching as the man slowly nodded his head while trying to keep from fading. "In return though she and a couple of others are gonna ask you some questions about your GA friends and you're gonna tell them everything you told me because if you leave out one little detail I'm gonna find you and I'm gonna take your other hand and an organ." He finished before walking away from the man.
"Davey, Eddy go with her and bring a towel we don't want him to bleed on her seats." He ordered earning nods from the duo who walked over to the man and started to untie him.
"Were you going to let him live if I hadn't come along." She asked while looking at Link closely.
"Honestly we were planning on keeping him a while longer, but eventually he was gonna die." He replied while Alison shook her head in confusion before making her way to her car just as Link's cellphone rang out and he quickly went to answer it.
Dockington City
Things seemed to be going slow in Dockington as Lee found himself sitting in the passenger seat of Robbie's Gauntlet watching the streets that he once called his old stomping ground by as the car drove by.
"So, how are things since I left?" Robbie asked causing Lee to let out a chuckle.
"Well we broke away from the Sunbelt Chapter after Mark walked in on Ryan fucking Tasha." He stated.
"Ouch!" Robbie shot back while Lee nodded his head.
"We moved to back down to New Arcadia, established ourselves amongst the gangs there, took over a district, fought a couple of wars, lost some brothers along the way, you know that kinda thing." He replied causing Robbie eye him closely.
"Who'd you lose?" he asked.
"Miller and Viktor." He replied.
"Shit, I wasn't all that close to Viktor but me and Miller were tight as hell since grade school." He replied with a chuckle. Robbie was another BSU member from Sunbelt like Mark and the others. He grew a close bond with the Mark, Lee, and the others because he himself had a love for stealing things from the back of a trucks so he often went along with them for heist and later murders.
"What about the others Link, Davey, Eddy, Jimmy, Felix, and you said Buck was there." He replied causing Lee to give a low growl of anger.
"Felix, that motherfucker walked out on us and decided he wanted to be an Azteca." He declared to Robbie's shock.
"Felix walking out on you guys I can believe, he always was the type to take things too personally and I wonder why he got into this life to begin with. Joining the Azteca's though, that's a shock we grew up near each other around the Southwest Vagos and he saw the war between them up close and personal. I still remember him swearing to not join a gang, but now he's in one. The fuck kinda backwards shit you got going on down there mano?" he asked earning a chuckle from Lee.
"It's a whole nother world." He replied as the duo finally arrived on the outskirts of Dockington to a bar that was onside of the main road where they noticed nine members of the Heathers Motorcycles standing outside while a line of bikes were present twelve in total.
"Looks like this maybe the place." Said Lee as he reached into the back of the car and grabbed his Shotgun.
"Alright I'm gonna call the others up." He replied while Lee shook his head.
"Nah I got this." He said to Robbie's shock as he watched the Chinese man step out of the car and tucked his M4A1 Pistol in the back of his pant and his Shotgun in his jacket while walking over to the front of the club.
"The fuck is this?" asked a Caucasian man with a long beard and tattoo covered arms as he noticed Lee approaching the group.
"You lost boy?" another Heathens member with a confederate flag bandanna tied over his forehead yelled out.
"No I'm exactly where I need to be." Lee replied while continuing to approach the group.
"Boy you take another step here you're gonna be picking your teeth up you hear me-." Another Biker started only to interrupted as something hard and heavy struck him in the center of the nose breaking it and sending blood streaming down his face.
"You piece of shit!" he yelled out before looking down and noticing that it was a Hand Grenade that Lee struck him in the face with.
"BOOM!" the Chinese man said as the Grenade went up in violent fiery explosion that blew away all the Heathens members, broke open the doors to the bar, and left all their bikes in flames.
"Damn Lee!" said Robbie as he reached into the backseat of the car and pulled out a Tec-9 Submachine Gun.
As Robbie ran towards the bar Lee found himself already starting to clean house as he fired a Shotgun blast that struck one Heathens members in the chest and sent him flying backwards and crashing on top of a table, shattering all the beer bottles on top of it in the process.
"Kill the fucking Gook." Yelled a Heathens member with a Sawn-Off Double Barrel Shotgun as he fired a slug in the direction of the Chinese who rolled his eyes at the man's statement.
"Hey asshole you know the literal meaning of Gook only applies to people from the Phillipines, Korea, and Vietnam right." He shouted out.
"I don't give a fuck all you slanty eyed little dicked mother fuckers are all the same to me and most of the world." The Heathens member shouted out from his position behind the bar causing Lee to get an idea of where his location is.
"Well then after today they won't be able to tell you apart from a the blackest of Africans." He replied to the man's confusion only for him to duck his head as Lee fired two shots from his Shotgun and blew away several glasses of hard wine and sent the content of it pouring onto the floor.
"Say goodnight." Lee replied before tossing his lighter behind the bar and igniting the alcohol that covered the man and sending him rolling around as the flames danced across his flesh.
"Talk about some sick shit." Lee called just as a Heathens member ran at him with his Pistol drawn but before he could fire a shot at the Chinese man, he was cutdown by Robbie who fired a barrage of rounds and struck him twice in the right leg and four more times in the back.
"You know over the years of you being in a hostile city I thought you would have learned you can't just walk into a place like this guns blazing with no plan." He declared while Lee chuckled.
"Only for when I know when guys cant fuck with me and a bunch of methed out bikers can't fuck with me. Besides I heard from a little birder these bikers caused our guys in the Northeast some problems so I want to return the favor." He finished and no sooner had he done that ten more bikes and a van had pulled up outside of the bar with both Spawn brothers leading the charge. As they went to head inside of the bar though four red and blue cars filled with Cuban men pulled up and their occupants quickly ran out and started shooting at the group.
"Talk about the war welcome." Lee before he heard a loud grunt and turned his head to notice a Heathens member brandishing a knife a charging at him while a woman with bright blue hair that he guessed was "Property" of the Club charged at Robbie and jumped on his back and tried to choke him out.
"Pathetic." Lee said before sidestepping the man with the knife then forcibly grabbing his hand with the knife and forcing it backwards so that the knife was pointing at the man's chest.
"Stop Stabbing Yourself, stop stabbing yourself-." Lee started in a sing song like manner as he forced the man to stab himself six times in the chest stomach and chest before tossing him across the room.
"Hey you could help me." Robbie yelled out to Lee as the girl slammed her fist on the top of his head causing Lee to walk over and forcibly pull the girl off the Dominican man.
"AHHH!" Lee yelled out as the girl forcibly bit down on his arm causing him to give a low growl of anger before grabbing the woman by the back of her head and slamming her face first onto a pool table with enough force to break her nose and knock five teeth out her mouth.
"Damn don't you think that was too brutal?" Robbie asked while Lee shrugged his shoulders.
"She breathing, maybe missing a few teeth but the meth's gonna knock the rest out so she'll be alright." Lee retorted before grabbing his Shotgun and watching as the Heathens members traded shots with the Cuban gangsters. The Cubans seemed to be have the upper hand with many of their members pulling out heavy Assault Weapons from the trunks of their cars while the Heathens members tried to pull guns from the van that seemed to be getting the brunt of the damage.
"Here take these-." A Sharks member yelled out from the back of the van as he went to hand two M16's to two Heathens member but before he could hand the weapons over he was taken off-guard by a Shotgun blast striking him clean in the chest and sending him flying backwards while the Heathens members turned their heads and noticed Lee and Robbie running out of the bar firing at the them.
"Hold your ground." Craig yelled out from his position behind his Zombie just as Robbie shot a Heathens member six times in the chest and send him falling over his bike and knocking it to the ground.
"Shit we can't stay here for long brother." Tony shot back a she pumped his Remington 870 Shotgun one time and fired a shot that hit one Cuban man in the top of his head and blew his brains over the face of another man who took a few seconds to wipe his eyes.
The man then moved to grab his older brother by the arm and lead him away from the battlefield but before he could do so he was stopped by a Shotgun blast striking him in his right leg and causing him to fall to the ground.
"Sorry but you're not going anywhere." Stated Lee as Craig went to draw his Pistol on the Chinese man but before he could squeeze the trigger he was stopped by a burning sensation in his hand that caused him to look down and notice that somewhat had shot a whole clean through his hand.
"Who-?" he asked before turning his hand and noticing a Cuban woman walking over to him with a smoking Revolver in her hands.
"Mr. Hell Spawn we need to talk." Luna said causing the man to go silent in anger while the Cuban woman looked to Lee and Robbie and ordered. "Check the bar, make sure they don't have anything else of ours."
The duo then made their way inside and quickly started to search the building upon entering the kitchen though Lee was taken by surprise with what they saw inside.
"Holy shit!" Lee said as he looked down and noticed an animal cage in the corner of the room. Inside the cage lay an adult Rottweiler that looked as though it had been in a dog fight. The animal had one of its ears ribbed off, it's lips were bloody, there were scratches covering its body, and it was lying on the floor taking shallow breaths while a puppy lay near it.
"Shit!" said Robbie as he watched Lee walk over to the cage and open it before walking over to the two animals and gently grabbing the puppy and taking it out of the cage.
"What's taking so-." Luna started as she walked into the kitchen before stopping midsentence as she watched Lee step out of the cage with the puppy before handing it over to Robbie who took it with a confused look.
"She's in pain." He said with little emotion in his tone as he drew his pistol and started to walk over to the cage while Robbie walked out of the kitchen. "Come here girl." He said before pulling the head of the dog into his lap and giving it a quick hug before saying I'm sorry and then pressing his gun to the side of the animal's head and squeezing the trigger.
New Arcadia
The drive to Andre's house wasn't long for Link as he stepped out of his car with Jimmy and Buck. As they approached the man's house the group was taken by surprise to see a group of three Ballas sitting outside the house with mixed looks on their faces that soon turned to angry expressions as they eyed the three white boys approaching the house.
"Move." Came a familiar voice as they noticed Keegan walk out of the house wearing a black wife-beater, blue jean pants, and white shoes. His orders seemed to be met as Link and the others watched the purple wearing gangsters step aside so that the three white boys could enter the house where they noticed several more Ballas inside of the house.
"What's going on?" asked Link.
"Fucking Apostles came by and snatched up Rico." Stated Andre.
"Those motherfuckers say they gonna take him out to the swamp and work him over. Then they gonna bring him back to us as a fucking message about getting out of line." Stated Stanley with venom in his tone.
"Well then who's up for a rescue mission?" asked Jimmy as everyone watched him pull out his M9A1 and cock it.
Metra, Lincoln Parish
The sun was finally starting to set on this day as Felix found himself taking shallow breaths while sitting in the backseat of stolen white van while he and Adahy say in the front. The trio were supposed to be heading for Cruz's place but he knew they were out hunting for the men they saw earlier.
Miguel was convinced that the group had disrespected the Azteca's by slinging on their turf and he was right. It seemed like through hell or high water nothing was gonna keep them from finding these guys because they had already been hunting for almost two hours up and down the different neighborhoods of the city.
"Where are these putos?" Miguel asked as he cruised down another street while Felix found himself clutching his pistol ever tighter while the sound of his heartbeat seemed to fill his ears.
"There." Said Adahy causing Felix to return to reality as he noticed five men sitting on the curve in front of a house shooting dice with each other.
"Alright let's let these motherfuckers know they don't fuck with the Azteca's." Miguel said as he started to pull the van up in front of the group while Felix pulled back on the slide.
As the van came to a halt the three men quickly stepped out of the car and raised their pistols high.
"VARRIO LOS AZTECA's BITCH!" Miguel yelled out as he, Felix, and Adahy unloaded on the five men striking them each with rounds to the chest, arms, stomach, legs, and face before watching them hit the ground hard.
"Who the bitch now punk?" Miguel asked before approaching the man who was talking the shit earlier and then shooting him once in the head before heading back to his car with Adahy in tow.
"Felix let's go." The Creek Warrior shouted out while Felix stood back and looked at the men he just shot. It was still dark so he was unable to see all their faces but he could tell from what he could see that two of them weren't guys that were at the liquor store but were dressed similar like them in white t-shirt and black jeans.
"We hit the wrong people." He said under his breath before Miguel honked the horn of the van causing Felix to break his trance and hop in the vehicle as it started to drive off.
Meanwhile
The sterile smell of the hospital seemed to fil the nose of Alison as she found herself sitting in the waiting room. She had been here to the point where the sun had long since set on this day. At first glance she thought that the GA member would need extensive treatment from all the damage the BSU members had put him through but aside from his missing hand his wounds were superficial.
After a few more moments of sitting Alison then watched as the door leading into the waiting area opened and she noticed Locke leading Regina, Steve, and Sawyer walking into the room with mixed looks on their faces.
"Ali you okay?" asked Steve as he quickly approached the woman.
"Yes, but I've found someone who's willing to talk to us about everything?" she replied to the group's surprise.
"What who?" asked Steve who gave the woman a confused look.
"I didn't ask he was in pretty bad shape when I found him, but the doctors says he can talk." She said to the groups shock before she led them into the hospital. "I found him wandering the streets in the 17th, he was in rough shape so I brought him back here." She added just as they arrived at the man's room.
"How rough?" asked Regina as Alison opened the door and allowed the group to see the GA member inside and recoil at the sight of the bandaged man who snapped his head to look at them.
"Jesus Christ." Said Steve as the group eyed the man closely while Locke and Sawyer sent looks to Alison who only looked away from them.
"No use just staring at him, might as well get down to the questions." Sawyer let out before approaching the man and then asking. "What's your name and who are you?"
"Travis Jones, I was with the GA before they threw me away." He let out to the groups surprise.
"GA, Gangster Apostles, we've been hearing a lot about you these last few weeks." Regina stated as he approached the man with Steve.
"You wanted proof." She whispered while looking to Locke who nodded his head.
"Yeah but I wasn't expecting you to bring us someone your boys had worked over." He shot back.
"Well at least we know he's gonna give us some truth." Alison retorted while the man continued to talk to the group.
Dockington City
The sun had finally set on this day on the East Coast as Lee found himself sitting on the bed of his hotel room loading the money he had brought with him from Los Santos into a brown paper bag while a black backpack with a skull was sitting next to him. The sound of his door opening is what caused him to jump up though as he drew his Pistol and aimed it in the direction of the door where he was taken by surprise to see a familiar Cuban woman standing in the doorway.
"Glad to see your guard is always up." She said while watching Lee set the weapon down.
"In this city I've got no choice but to be." He replied as Luna approached him and stood over him before looking at the objects in his hands.
"I'm guessing one of those is for me and the other is for your old amigos. Mind telling me which is mine?" she asked while watching as he picked up the bag of money and handed it to her. "What's this for?" she asked while looking him over.
"A package from your connects down in Cuba." He replied causing her to let out a half chuckle.
"I thought you and your brothers were keeping your hands away from drugs Chino?" she asked while Lee chuckled.
"We are, but we have partners in New Arcadia whose entire business revolves around moving drugs and if we're gonna make it on our own we need to be self-sufficient." He replied while Luna nodded her head.
"I'll talk to my brothers down in Vice, but we'll need to about shipping and handling." She replied.
"It's just a few miles west of Vice, closer than Liberty City, and we can handle the handling of it on our own." He declared while the woman nodded her head with a chuckle.
"Are you okay?" she asked.
"Yeah, I didn't take any bullets in that attack." He replied.
"I meant up here." She corrected while pointing to his head. "That incident with the dog shut you up all the way here."
"When we were kids here we had a dog just like that one. We called him Lucky and he was a rescue dog." He stated with a chuckle. "Lucky went everywhere with us, until the BGA decide that when they wanted to take us out that meant everything related us." he finished with a low growl while Luna eyed him closely.
"You may think I'm weak for getting this worked up over a dog, but he was good one." He said with a slight smile that quickly faded as he watched Luna take a stand before him.
"What?" he asked before watching as she quickly grabbed the sides of his head and forced his lips onto hers catching him by surprise but after a few seconds he fell into it. This woman, this beautiful woman wanted him and he's wanted her since he was a teenager. He was going to mess this up or deny it.
With that in mind Lee started to run his hands up her shirt while she ran her hands over his bare chest. The Chinese BSU member was shirtless when she came into the room which allowed for easier access as she bit down on his shoulder blade leaving a hickey and then sucking the wound.
This wasn't Lee's first time but this was his first time with a woman that was much older than him and he was somewhat looking forward to it. One thing he envied about Mark with his relationship with Ana was that he was with an older woman. There was a thing or two older woman could do and were more willing to do then women his own age and he really wanted to find out what he meant by that.
"You're a good kisser." She said earning a chuckle from the Chinese man.
"Years of practice." He replied before watching as she started to undo her shirt.
"Alright then let's see if you can put that mouth of yours to better use." She replied before ripping off her shirt and revealing her dark blue bra that showed off a lot of her lengthy cleavage that formed from her D-Cup breast.
"Yes mam!" Lee replied before moving to suck on the top of her breast causing Luna to throw her head back with a deep moan as she forced Lee's head deeper into her chest while he Lee his tongue down her cleavage and tried to part it while kneading her fabric covered breast. The Chinese man then moved his hands to back and tried to undo her bra while she ran her hands over his bare back.
After undoing the straps of her bra Lee finally pulled it away and watched as her breast dropped out in the most seductive way possible. Her breast were rather large but in her old age they had started to sag but to Lee it didn't matter if they setup right or were the perkiest set in the city. They were perfect cushions and in his excitement Lee found himself rubbing his face in between the woman's breast while she chuckled.
"To say you have years of practice, you're acting like a virgin." She let out while Lee returned to reality and looked up at her.
"Sorry, you just don't know how long I've waited to get this far." He replied with a half-smile.
"Oh really." She said before trailing her fingers down Lee's chest before moving her right hand down his pants and instantly grabbing his semi erect member and starting to stroke it. "You've been thinking about me since you were young?" she asked while rolling her fingers over his helmet while Lee gave a low moan.
"If you turn out a little better than I think, I just might let you stick your dick between them." She replied causing Lee's heart to skip a beat as he looked at the woman with a lust filled smile.
"Well then I guess." He said before moving to swirl his tongue clockwise around her right nipple. "I guess I better pull out all the stops." He said before moving his tongue counterclockwise causing the woman to let out a low moan as she continued to stroke Lee off while he moved to her other nipple.
"Keep going papi." She let out while Lee gave both her breast a kiss before running his tongue down her stomach and planting a series of wet kisses down her abdomen. "What you gonna do now baby?" she asked as Lee stopped his kissing just at her panty line before moving to massage her thighs and butt.
"My favorite part of the game." He replied with a toothy smile before moving to capture the bottom of Luna's panties with his teeth before forcing them down her legs in a seductive manner that had the woman blushing and getting wetter as she felt the hem of underwear descend her thighs.
"Now that was sexy." She said while Lee grabbed her left leg and threw it over his right shoulder.
"It only gets better from this point on." He replied before kissing the bottom of her foot then planting several others on her toned leg before moving his mouth between her thighs and giving her lips a big kiss that caused the woman to let out a loud lust filled moan as Lee ran his tongue over her stiffened clit before using it to probe her insides.
The Chinese BSU member then forced her legs further apart so that he could get a better angle in eating the Cuban woman out as she continued to moan while feeling Lee hum against her thighs. Then in a move that surprised Lee she wrapped her leg that was on his shoulder around the back of his neck and forced him deeper into her causing Lee to give a low grunt as Luna lost her footing and put almost her full weight on his face.
Thankfully Lee was able to righten himself and he figured the woman must have done it on purpose because she seemed to be smiling down at him from her standing position. So he decided to return the favor as he slapped the woman on her supple behind causing her to let out another loud moan and curse him in Spanish.
"Fucking Puto-." She started before trailing off as she felt her body being invaded from another spot and looked back to notice Lee slowly sliding his middle finger in and out of her butthole. It felt uncomfortable to her at first, but she then found herself enjoying the feeling and taking it in stride as she felt Lee insert his tongue back inside of her moist pussy giving her another euphoric feeling as she was penetrated from both wholes.
"Oh fuck I'm cumming." She let out and with those words Lee found himself deciding to pick up the pace and increase the speed of his licking, fingering, kissing, and touching of the woman until she started to pant uncontrollably like a fish out of water.
"OH GOD!" she yelled out with a loud scream as she let out a violent rough climax that left her weak at the knees and squirting from her pussy. Lee made sure that a drop didn't hit the floor though as he put his mouth up against her pussy and took every bit of her juices into his mouth before swallowing them all.
"Shit!" Luna let out before falling backwards onto Lee's bad and taking several deep breaths while Lee continued to plant kisses up and down her shaved pussy.
After a few seconds Luna found herself getting tired of the Chinese man and looked down at him to notice the smug look on his face as he looked up at her and asked. "So about that titty fuck though?" His question seemed to make her let out a half-smile as she forced Lee onto the bed and watched as he started to remove his pants and expose to her his erect member.
When it came down to Asian men it was said that they weren't the biggest men in the world and Lee was no diamond in the rough. He didn't have the biggest dick Luna had ever seen, but he was bigger then what she was expecting an Asian male to have. He was also shaved and as Luna rubbed her hands against it she found that he was almost extra sensitive to touch.
"You're bigger than I thought you'd be." She said while running her tongue along the sides of his erect member and causing a trickle of pre-cum to ooze from his tip.
"I get that a lot-." He started before letting out a loud moan as Luna slowly took his head into her mouth before moving to take in about half of his erection before taking it out of her mouth. She then repeated the process five more times before completely taking him out of her mouth.
"What gives?" he asked before watching as the woman cleared her throat before slowly taking his member back into her mouth but this time going all the way down until his entire member was in her mouth and his tip was moving down her throat.
"Goddamn!" he said while Luna kept him in her mouth while moving to massage his testicles with her hands and causing the Chinese man to shudder from her touch.
He finally see's what Mark meant when he talked about fucking an older woman, because in his lifetime and out of all the women he's fucked none of them have ever been able to take him his entire member in their mouth and hold it in their as long as this beautiful cougar before him.
Luna had held Lee's member down her throat for what must have been half a minute and she was at the point where her mouth was foaming and her eyes were watering making it all the hotter to the Chinese man who fought to keep himself from forcibly fucking her face while she was in this position.
Then in a turtle like motion she slid him out of her mouth with Lee taking in the sight of his member almost glistening from her saliva.
"How was that?" she asked with a rough cough while stroking his member almost like she was polishing a trophy. Then in a move that caught her off-guard Lee rushed forward and gave her a big kiss that seemed to leave her shocked and stunned as she felt his tongue invade her mouth similar to his member and dance with her own almost like two lovers doing the tango.
"Down chico." She said while pushing Lee back down onto the bed. "You've been doing well, so I guess you can get your reward." She said while Lee's eyes almost lit up like stars at her statement.
Luna then kneeled down with her cleavage almost level with his dick grabbed a hold of the undersides of her breasts and shook them in front of Lee who couldn't help but to move his head and eyes as he tried to follow every direction they went.
Then within minutes, her luscious double D's surrounded his hardened member. If it could Lee's penis would have been singing choir music for the joy it felt. The unimaginable warm feeling of her breast made him lose all other bodily functions except breath and even that was shallow. As her chest melons wrapped completely around his dick on all sides, leaving no space uncovered, Lee felt almost all the blood run to his head as he started to blush.
Luna then pressed them together with her hands slowly started to slide her boobs up and down his shift, encasing it on the soft wonderland that was her bosom.
"I still don't see why you men like this so much." She let out but in truth Lee couldn't hear her. Everything in existence as fat as he was concerned banished as his penis was gently squeezed by Luna's soft mounds and was warmed up by her tender almond colored skin.
Lee could do no more than moan as his eyes slightly glossed over in lust. He merely sat there on the edge of the bed idly feeling the pleasant sensation as his penis rubbed against the vastness of Luna's warm, soft breast. With every movement he felt his body surge in primal ecstasy, she was so soft, warm, firm, and her skin so smooth like a model. It was this sensation that caused Lee to no longer remain still.
As she started speed up he groaned as she lightly thrust his penis into her rack. He was thankful he was laying down because he probably would have fallen because his body had transformed into a terrain of goosebumps and sexually charged twitching.
Smiling so sexily at seeing the fruit of her labors effect on Lee and the wetness she was feeling because of it Luna continued to slowly slide and bob his manhood up and down the skin of her bosom and complimented her actions by kissing or licking the tip of his penis whenever it popped out of her breast. It was almost like a game of whack-a-mole, whenever it popped out she whacked it with either her tongue or lips. But even after just giving him a thorough blowjob, she still craved his taste.
Knowing the Chinese man would like this, the Cuban woman then took the top half of his member into his mouth and started to slowly suck him off while continuing to move her breast up and down his shaft.
With this new feeling Lee found himself unable to contain himself as he felt her swirl her tongue around his member. He didn't know how the woman would react to him cumming in her mouth so he quickly grabbed her by the back of her head and pulled himself out of her mouth. Causing her to let out a wicked smile as she looked up at him.
"Almost lost yourself there?" she asked while Lee took a few deep breaths.
"A little, but I want to save myself for the main course." He replied causing the woman to let out a low chuckle.
"Smart nino." She said before standing up in front of the Chinese man then turning around so that he could get a full view of her behind as she swayed it from left to right before turning back around and rubbing her pussy in front of him. "You ready?" she asked in a low moan before watching as Lee nodded his head before falling back as she climbed on top of him and gave him a quick kiss.
"Show me what you got papi." She let out causing Lee to let out a low groan before he slowly slid himself into her warm moist cunt and caused them both to shutter at the feeling of each other. Then after getting used to the feeling of the woman Lee started to slowly drive his member in and out of her causing her to let out a few ecstasies filled moans as she felt his member actually managing to hit her G-Spot.
To add more satisfaction the Chinese man started to massage her breast in a manner that was similar to kneeding dough before taking her right boob in his mouth and starting to forcibly suck on it
"That's right, right there." She let out in a low tone while Lee moved his hands to her bare back while she dug her nails into his arms and bit down on the side of his neck. Then just for the heck of it Lee slapped her on her supple behind and caused her to quiver from his touch before deciding to take control and beginning to bounce up and down on his member.
"OH GOD!" she yelled out before climaxing and literally gushing on Lee's dick causing him to let out a low moan of his own as Luna collapsed on top of him and started to breath heavily.
"Am I turning out better then you expected?" he asked while massaging her butt.
"For now, but I'm about to change that." She replied before crawling off top of Lee and standing up before turning around and bending over so that he could get a good look at her butt.
"You like what you see?" she asked while looking back and noticing the Chinese man in a trance. "I thought so." She said before leaning down and sitting on his causing Lee to let out a low moan as he felt his member rubbing against her wet pussy.
"Now we're about to see how well you can hold out." She replied before sliding him back inside of her and then falling forward so that she could mount him. Then to Lee's shock and surprise the Cuban woman started to bounce her butt up and down on her on his erection at a pace he wasn't prepared for and Luna knew it so she couldn't to do it until Lee forced himself out of her.
"There is no tapping out." She said before forcing Lee back inside of her and continuing to bounce her butt on his member while Lee grabbed her cheeks and massaged them as she started to move back and forth. "I knew you couldn't handle it." She let out but her words only seemed to get Lee more aroused as he lifted himself up and got behind the woman and proceeded to fuck her doggy style.
"We'll see about that." Lee shot back with sweat dripping from his face as he pounded deep into the woman's moist cunt and slapped her on the behind with enough force to cause her to let out a loud gasp as she sucked on her bottom lip.
"Damn it I'm almost there." He said while continuing to pound into the woman then at the last. "Shit!" he yelled out before moving to pull himself out of the woman so that he could fire his load on her butt to his surprise she quickly spun around and took Lee's erection into her mouth so causing him to let out a loud moan as he fired his load into her mouth and felt an intense almost vacuum like feeling as she swallowed his load without spilling a drop or choking on the warm salty liquid.
"Holy shit!" Lee let out before falling back on the bed panting heavily while watching as Luna licked her lips clean before making her way into the bathroom to get cleaned up while looking back and noticing that Lee had passed out on his bed.
"Lightweight." She said with a sick chuckle.
Outside of New Arcadia
Things in the swamp seemed more lively on this dark night in November as Lonzo and several members of the Gangster Apostles found themselves standing over Rico who was lying on the mud-covered ground tied up and taking a beating from three other Apostles.
The group had put him through hell almost the entire day with their senseless beating that seemed to be on the hour every hour. Doom and Lonzo had even put him through some tortures of their own that stemmed from them removing the bullets that had struck him in the ambush and then shooting him again in either the arm or leg to prevent him from fighting back or running away.
In the end Lonzo was gonna oversee his execution, since he was the groups executioner and Doom and Queen were busy. Amongst him though was Scooter who seemed to be taking great pleasure in watching the Balla OG struggle to remain conscious as the three GA members layed a beating on him.
"Alright cut it out homies." Lonzo yelled out before watching as the three GA members stepped aside allowing him to approach Rico who was trying to pick himself up off the ground while Scooter approached him.
"I told you motherfuckers there was consequences for not falling in line." He stated only for Rico to respond by spitting blood on the man's all-white shoes, forever staining them, and sending the Army Veteran in a rage as he sent several kicks to the gut of the man followed by a punch to the side of his head.
"You know I like it when bitches try they best to fight back. You just lucky I ain't about to be the niggas that's about to put you down." He declared while eyeing Rico closely. "It was Scooter Homies your nigga clapped so he get to clap you since Doom clapped him." He stated before watching as Scooter drew a Glock 23 from his pants before approaching Rico with a smile on his face.
"I told you I was gonna see you again homie." He said before aiming his gun at the man's head but before he could squeeze the trigger he was stopped by the loud bang of a gunshot followed by a sharp pain in his stomach that caused him to look down and notice blood leaking from a hole in his shirt.
"Oh shit-!" he said before being forever silenced as another gunshot struck him in the center of the head and blew a hole all the way through his skull.
"SHIT SNIPER-!" Lonzo yelled before he himself was struck in the stomach by another gunshot that sent him flying backwards.
Lucky for him he had on his vest but many of the other GA members didn't and soon they found themselves being cutdown by a hail of gunfire as nine purple wearing gangsters emerged from the treeline firing everything from Pistols to Assault Rifles into the group of Gangster Apostles.
"Fuck Ball-Sacks!" yelled a GA member as he drew his Micro SMG and fired a barrage of rounds at a duo Ballas who took cover behind a tree.
"Don't stop move!" yelled Jimmy as he ran past the duo with his MK14 Assault Rifle strapped to his back while two Glock 19's were in each hands. Unlike the Ballas who were wearing purple Jimmy and the other BSU members that were in the gunfight, Buck, Davey, and Eddy were all wearing black including mask.
As Jimmy broke from cover he fired off three shots from one gun that struck one man in the chest before turning his other pistol on a GA member and shooting him once in the head and watching as he hit the ground hard while Buck, Davey, and Eddy brome from cover firing off Pistols and Shotguns at the GA members who tried to fight back.
"Shit!" said Lonzo as he ran away from the group while Jimmy noticed him running to a black Tornado and acted.
"Davey Eddy runner take him out." He yelled as the duo lifted their M9A1 Pistols and started walking to the car and firing off rounds that struck the back and side windows, trunk, and doors but only managing to hit Lonzo twice as he finally got the car started and drove away while everyone turned their guns on the fleeing car.
"Fucking coward." Jimmy let out with anger in his tone before watching as the Balla members ran over to Rico and quickly picked him up and carried him to Andre's car.
"We got it from here." He said while Jimmy nodded his head.
"Alright we'll be in touch." The redheaded man retorted while watching as they sped out of the swamps in search of a hospital while the BSU members stood by before noticing one of the GA members still moving.
"You motherfuckers are dead all of you, you hear me Fam?" he yelled out while watching as Jimmy approached him with a smile on his face before kneeling before him.
"Glad to hear it." He retorted before pulling out his switchblade and causing the man to look at him fearfully before letting out a violent shriek of pain.
Elsewhere
The hour was late and Alison and Steve were finally returning home after a lengthy interrogation of the Apostles member who had been tortured by the BSU members. Alison didn't approve of their methods but she had to admit they seemed to have done the trick.
The man wasn't a goldmine of information because he didn't give them any names but he did know enough information to show that the GA members weren't just moving in on the territory of BSU and the Roman Boyz but that they were a part of a hostile takeover and were involved in enough crimes that would warrant the attention of everyone.
"Can you believe it?" Steve asked while stepping into their bedroom and noticing the woman starting to change out of her work outfit.
"A gang with military veterans running them and trying to take control of a city." Alison retorted as she took off her button up shirt and revealed the white bra she wore underneath it. "It's similar to what I saw the last time I was here. That time it was only one person with a military background not three." She added.
"Yeah, but the fact that these joined the military solely to receive training that they can teach on to other gang members on the streets is almost unheard of." He replied while taking off his shirt and throwing it to the side of the room.
Alison didn't want to say it out loud because it may hurt the man's good mood but sending guys to the military to get training isn't a new concept. The Italian and Irish Mob have recruited people in their ranks who fought in both wars, white supremacist gangs are increasingly joining the military to get training, and more importantly Mark and Lee were trained by gangsters who were once a part of a special operations unit in Kuwait, while Jimmy is in the Army Reserved. It wasn't unheard of or new it was becoming increasingly common.
"And the fact that these guys are trafficking in military weapons stolen from a base in the Midwest is the big icing on the cake." He said with an ecstatic smile before looking over and noticing Alison bending over to slide off her pants and revealing her bright pink underwear to the male FIB Agent. "And we wouldn't know none of this without you." He said before approaching the woman and wrapping her in his arms from behind while Alison fell back in his arms.
"Steve wait-." She started while Steve moved to plant several kisses on the side of her neck.
"Thanksgiving is in a few days, I got quite a few things to be thankful for." He said with a laugh while Alison gave a low chuckle.
She had forgotten all about Thanksgiving she was always so busy they she never had an off day on it to really celebrate it. Honestly she was hoping of spending Thanksgiving with the BSU members or Turkey Day as many of them would refer to it.
According to Mark, most black people didn't call it Thanksgiving because there wasn't much people should be thankful for. The holiday basically celebrates the genocide of those indigenous to the Americas and those same people that wiped out the Natives were the same that enslaved the Africans. They also didn't celebrate Black Friday because it was created as the day after Thanksgiving where slave masters would sell their slaves on discounts.
He and the other BSU members didn't fast like some people, but they also didn't go out to eat or say Thanksgiving instead they say Turkey Day. Most black people would still get and eat a Turkey because there is always a holiday sale on Turkey's that went on until after Thanksgiving and everyone wants a "Cheap Bird" as Mark would put it.
Still she didn't care what she ate or did on Thanksgiving, just as long as she was with people she cared about and they were safe.
In her absent mindedness she'd completely forgotten that Steve was basically dry humping her from behind. She wasn't in the mood nor did she really want to be with the man right now, but the duo hadn't had sex in a while and she could tell he was physically starving from it.
"Wait!" she said causing Steve to stop before watching as the woman got down on her knees in front of him and proceeded to suck him off while doing her best to keep the thought of Mark and the others out of her mind.
Sunbelt City
It must have been two in the morning, but time didn't mean much for Ernesto as he found himself sitting in his car that was parked across the street from a house just on the otherside of Gulfton Heights. He was far from Azteca territory but he knew nobody would take a shot at him.
One thing he liked best about New Austin than Louisiana was that here, he was a somebody and you can't just walk up and start spraying on a somebody. The gangsters in New Arcadia were different though they didn't care if you were a somebody because at the end of the day you were all dead people on a timer and at any time somebody could come up and snatch your life.
Here though he had power more than he could have there and if anyone wanted to test that power, they were going to be in for a bloody ending.
After a few moments of watching the house party Ernesto watched as a Tejano with long black hair tied into a ponytail and wearing a black wife-beater that showed off his tattoo covered arms, black jeans, and white shoes stepped out of the house with a woman on his arms. As Ernesto looked him over he immediately spotted the New Austin Onda tattoo etched on the man's arm.
It look freshly done, but the thing that made it off was that it was an old design of tattoo. The same that the original New Austin Onderos like himself wore, but more modern members often wore another one that was meant to conceal their membership to Onda hidden and just by looking at this guy anyone could easily see he was no old school Ondero. He looked close to Miguel's age and the way he was acting gave off the image of a child instead of an Ondero.
The man was noticeably drunk and so was the girl he was with who was a blonde haired blue eyed white girl who looked like she came from Plantation Ridge or Rockford Hills. This guy was breaking all the rules and so Ernesto had no reason to hold back with him.
As he stepped out of his car and quickly approached the drunk man who had the girl pressed against the side of the house and was feeling her up while she was kissing the side of his neck.
"Buenos Noches!" Ernesto yelled out causing the man to slowly turn his head around and notice Ernesto standing behind him and upon seeing him the man went wide eyed and tried to whip himself back around but the New Austin Onda member was took quick and drew his .44 Magnum with almost blinding speed and fired a single shot that hit the man in the side of the head and blew his brains across the body of the white girl causing her to let out a fear filled scream as she looked over herself.
After watching the man's body hit the ground Ernesto quickly turned him over and got a look of the Onda tattoo on the man's arm. He then aimed his gun at the tattoo and fired off three shots into the artwork that made it unreadable and tore off a huge chunk of flesh from the man's arm.
He died a bitch, but he wouldn't be identified by the police as Onda or buried with them.
Ernesto then turned his gun on the scared young woman and watched as she pressed her back against the wall with fear in her tear-filled eyes as she looked back at him.
"What did you see?" he asked while the woman struggled to speak only to finally find her voice as she watched him pull back the hammer on his gun.
"Nothing I saw nothing, I swear to god please don't kill me." She let out while Ernesto looked her over before lowering his gun and walking away. He couldn't find the heart to pull the trigger, the girl was young probably no older than his daughter Angela.
If Neto saw him now he'd probably call him weak for not being able to pull the trigger, but he probably wouldn't care. He wasn't no psychopath like him, and he was getting older, tired, and worn out. Neto was a man who could never understand him. He's a man whose lost everything and has nothing to lose, but if he had kids he'd find himself in the same position as himself. Finding hard to look at your kids when you've just killed someone who probably didn't deserve it or maybe was friends with your kids in your youth.
It was a hard life, but it was a life he lived and would live until his final breath.
Dockington City
The sun was finally starting to rise on this day in the city and activity was already starting to take shape as people found themselves going about their morning routines.
On this morning, though in West Dockington an African American man who stood about six foot three with short black hair and wearing a black t-shirt, black jeans, and white shoes known to many Popeye found himself lying under his all red Baller working to change out the wheels of the car with some knew wheels that had 24' inch rims.
Popeye was a shotcaller in the city of Dockington and once a former member of the Ballas, but what many didn't know about him was that he was a full member of the BGA and had been since he was twenty years old when he went through his first stint in prison. Upon release he was one the gangs main hitman in the city of Dockington and carried out many hits for the gang.
His biggest hit that turned into his biggest failure was the hit on Marcus Roman. For he was one of the Balla members instructed on taking Mark out to the woods for a heist, but instead were sent to kill him. The group had tried to shoot him but ended up firing all their bullets in the hunt for him and had to resort to stabbing him.
Needless to say, Mark didn't die but he wasn't too angry with it because he still got his man in killing off their brother Sebastian and leaving him as a popsicle under a bridge in the city. He wished he could have gotten the Concrete Soldier himself but as a conciliation prize he got a piece of the territory Mark had control of in West Dockington and that was enough for him.
As Popeye finally got the car jacked and the wheel off he went to roll underneath the car so that he could also do a quick oil change but after going under he was caught by surprise as he noticed another pair of feet approaching him.
"You Dough what up-." He started before rolling from under the car but instead of seeing an African American man he was surprised to see a Chinese man.
"Yo Popeye, you remember me?" Lee asked while eyeing the man with a serious look in his eyes and noticing sweat beginning to fall from the man's face as he looked at him with terror in his eyes.
"Yeah, you're the Chink!" he said causing Lee to chuckle and smile.
"Good, remember that in the next life." Lee replied before forcibly kicking the jack from underneath the car and causing the vehicle to fall on top of Popeye who was instantly killed by the weight of the vehicle that crushed him underneath tons of steel.
"Piece of shit!" he said before kicking the motionless man in the leg while noticing a pool of blood starting to pool out from under the car.
As Lee walked from under the garage he made his way down the street where a familiar car pulled up and he hopped inside of it.
"Do you feel better now?" Luna asked while Lee nodded his head.
"A little, I'd feel more better if I could kill them all though." He replied while the woman nodded her head before driving away.
"The rest are in prison so they're lucky you aren't coming to see them." She replied while Lee looked out the window and watched as the building and people went by.
"So I talked to my brothers." She let out earning the attention of the Chinese man who turned to face her.
"Oh yeah and what did they say?" he asked with a quizzical look.
"They'll supply you with Cocaine but the need for shipping won't be needed." She replied to Lee's confusion.
"But how are we gonna get it shipped to New Arcadia from Vice?" he asked with a raised brow.
"It won't be going to Vice, it'll be coming straight into New Arcadia from Cuba and I'll be the bringing it in." she stated to his continued confusion. "Madre de dios, I'm moving my operation into New Arcadia." She declared to Lee's shock and confusion.
"What how?" he asked.
"I talked to my brothers and it seems they want to change our operation of transporting the coke from Vice to Liberty by road. Rumor is they've got their hands on a pilot who can move it by air from Vice into the airports in Liberty so there's no use for a Dockington site." She replied to Lee's shock.
"So that leaves you-?" he started before she cut him off.
"In need of new business and New Arcadia seems like a city I can work with. Open waters, deep swamps and marshes, yeah a good place to start." She stated while Lee continued to look at her quizzically. "A lot of my men won't be looking to taking up the change of scenery though so I'll be in need of people who can help me." She added while looking to Lee who took her hand in his own and replied.
"You can count on me."
"Don't think of this as a full-time thing Lee. I'm not your girlfriend or your wife. I don't care what you did today, tomorrow, the next day, or how was work I just want you to show up whenever I need some dick." She shot back while Lee chuckled at her response.
"Done!" he replied with a smile. "Is Robbie coming along?" he asked.
"He needs a home so I don't see why not, but don't look to us to help you fight whatever war you're fighting down there." She replied while Lee nodded his head.
"Done and Done." He finished with a smile while the woman drove them out of the neighborhood.
Algonquin
The sun was just starting to rise on this morning in a housing project in Algonquin as several Marabunta members found themselves standing outside the project with their guards up. Rumors had come in across the Northeast of hits being done against the Russians and PPL at the hands of the Dominicans and their Italian Allies.
Marabunta had been in on their attack and they knew a retaliation was coming their way, but it didn't matter because they were armed and prepared for whatever that was coming.
"Excuse me." Came a voice that caused the Marabunta members to whip their heads around and notice a Caucasian man in glasses standing just behind them.
The man came as a shock to the group just appearing out of nowhere and having gotten past the groups sentries almost rather easily.
"Who the fuck are you?" asked a Marabunta member as he turned his gun on Patrick causing the man to lift his hands in the air at the sight of the weapon.
"The new building manager." He replied causing the group to give him confused looks.
"We don't need no fucking manager." A female gangster of Mexican descent shot back while pointing a M9A1 at Patrick's head.
"Now you're gonna tell us how you got here Gringo." The first man let out while just a street over Marco found himself pulling his knife out of the throat of a Marabunta member who was watching the streets as a Sentry for the others.
"Time to go!" Marco said over his Walkie Talkie before looking back at Charlie as the duo climbed into a bright blue Glendale and started the vehicle up before speeding towards the apartment complex. "Antonio we're ready to move." He said before watching as four other cars pulled up behind his own and followed him to the apartment complex.
"Dominican't coming up the street." Yelled a Marabunta member who came running down the street before he was struck several times in the back by a Charlie who was leaning out the window of Marco's car firing his MP5 Submachine Gun.
"Shit!" yelled the Marabunta member who had his gun trained on Patrick as he knocked the man to the side before turning it on Marco as he pulled his car to halt and climbed out with Charlie and started laying down fire on the Marabunta members with his ACR Assault Rifle.
His first salvo of rounds struck one man three times in the chest and another twice in the neck and face before he had to duck down behind his car as two Marabunta members armed with a M16A2 started firing on him from the fourth floor of the building.
"Marco!" Charlie yelled out as he shot down the female Marabunta member with six rounds that her in between her tits and sent her falling backwards.
"Taking care of it." Marco called out as he loaded a Grenade into his Launcher before firing the explosive round at the 4th floor of the building and watching as a loud explosion echoed through the building catching everyone by surprise as they watched one of the two men fall from a massive hole in the building and hit the pavement hard enough to make a sickening snapping sound upon impact.
"The fuck, these motherfuckers don't care if they got families in the building." Yelled another female Marabunta member before Marco shot her down with three shots that hit her in the chest, shoulder, and face.
In truth, the Afro-Dominican man didn't care if there were innocent families living in the building. If they were smart they'd leave now, they were concentrating their attack to the front of the building so they could go out the back but if they chose to stay that was on them because by the end of the day this building would be nothing but a pile of ash.
As Marco fired another Grenade at a duo of Marabunta members firing from the sixth floor a total of three cars pulled up in front of the apartment complex along side them. Three belonged to members of the Dominican Trinities and the other three belonged to hitmen for Charlies Family of the Italian Mafia.
Soon what started out as just two attackers turned into twenty as the Marabunta members outside of the building found themselves being overrun and moving to run inside of the housing projects, but as they tried to shut the heavy metal doors of the building they were stopped as Marco fired another Grenade from his Launcher that blew the doors wide open and killed three Marabunta members in the process.
"Take um out!" Marco yelled out before watching as the two sides stormed inside of the building and started to shoot down any Marabunta member that got in their way.
"Kill those fucking spics." Yelled an Italian Mafioso with a Remington 870 Shotgun as he racked the weapon down the hall and shot a Marabunta member of maybe Honduran descent with a Pistol in the chest and sent him flying backwards through a wooden door.
The Italian man didn't have a chance to fire off another shot as he was taken out with three shots to the chest courtesy of a Marabunta female with a Desert Eagle.
"Motherfuckers!" she yelled out before blindly firing again from down the hall and then moving to reload.
"Well aren't you a pretty little Chica." Came a cold new voice that caused the woman to turn her head and notice a Caucasian man with glasses and a sinister smile standing over. "You'll do perfectly." He said before reaching out and grabbing her by her hair and then striking her over the head with a closed fist.
"Can't have you fighting me on this." Patrick let out before drawing his knife and stabbing the woman in the stomach. The Serial killer then sliced down her stomach and left a big open wound in her stomach all the while he chuckled while doing it.
While Patrick seemed to be cutting through the young woman Marco and Charlie found themselves heading for the stairs of the building but as they went to climb them they were taken off-guard by the sight of a Mexican family trying to run down the stairs but stopping in their tracks at the sight of the armed men.
"MOVE!" Marco yelled causing them to step aside and allow them to make their way up the stairs.
"Look out!" Charlie said as Marco looked to his left where he noticed a Marabunta member armed with a Machete charging him from the second floor of the building.
As he took a swing at Marco the former Marine managed to sidestep him and then in a quick move draw his own Machete and slide the leg of the gangster and cause him to fall to the floor.
"Shit!" he said with anger in his tone as Marco swung his blade again and lobbed off his hand causing him to scream out in pain before Charlie grabbed him from behind and tossed him over the railway and falling three stories down.
"That's gonna hurt." The Italian man let out before he and Charlie continued to make their way up the stairs.
"Damnit, what the hell is going on down there?" asked a Mexican man who looked to be in his mid-30's with a shaved head and mustache as he sat in his apartment on the top floor guarded by several other Marabunta members while looking out the window and noticing families rushing out of the front of the building to avoid stray rounds.
"Call another cliqua tell them that we need-." Started a Marabunta that was quickly silenced by the door of the apartment being blown open by a loud explosion that knocked everyone off their feet.
'Shit!" the man said as he tried to pick himself up while noticing an Afro-Dominican man approaching him slowly while shooting the survivors of the explosion in the head as he went along.
"You gonna give me a fighting chance?" he asked while Marco only chuckled before drawing his Machete before bringing it down on top of the man's head.
New Arcadia
The morning seemed to be going slow for Task as he found himself riding to New Arcadia with Adahy and Felix. It had been a while since he'd been in the city mostly because he didn't want to be shot by some gangster who recognized him from working with the Azteca's and Vagos.
He didn't feel all that safe here but Cruz had called him and Adahy to meet him at his home in Irish Point where he needed to speak with them. While they were driving though the Lakota couldn't take his eyes off Felix who had been silent through the entire drive and he couldn't figure out why.
As the group pulled up at Cruz's home they quickly noticed Loka, Dede, Angel, Miguel, and several other Azteca and Vagos members sitting out front of the house.
"What's all this?" Task asked while stepping out of the car with Adahy and Felix.
As the group approached the group approached the house they watched as Cruz stepped outside with an angry expression on his face.
"What's happening?" asked Felix.
"Fucking 4th Ward bitches, they think just because they got the GA watching they back they can step to us." He stated while eyeing the group closely.
"They say New Arcadia is there and we need to leave or risk war with them." Stated Dede.
"Well then, who do we shoot first?" asked Felix as he eyed the group closely.
Authors Note: And there you have it for this chapter everyone I know I churned it out a lot faster than normal but I've had a lot of free time on my hand.
If you noticed the chapter focused a little more on Lee and Felix then last chapter did, while still having Alison and the others in the background. But we didn't see much of Task, but next chapter will sorta be his big chapter.
The Balla and the GA fighting their way is sorta a fallout to what happened with the Dixie's getting their drugs stolen and that shooting the GA pulled off on the Ballas was based off that scene of Daredevil where the Punisher took down the Irish Mob in the first episode.
If you follow Onkwehonwe stories you should know that the Heathens MC is based off the Pagans MC. My reason for including the Sharks as working for them is because I wanted to bring in an old gang that we haven't seen a while and give them a side story to them. Later you will see more of the Sharks as they not only try to make a name for themselves working for the Heathens but also in the Hardcore Industry.
The characters Robbie and Luna are more characters I've been wanting to introduce into this story with Robbie being another member of Mark's faction of BSU. He is visually based off actor GabrielLuna who played Robbie Reyes Ghost Rider on Agents of Shield. While Luna on the other hand is based of Paulina Gaitan who plays Pablo Escobar's wife Tata on Narcos. She was another character I've been looking to introduce in New Arcadia but being that I'm trying to push for Mark creating new rackets in the city and creating his own organization opposite the New Rising Council now seems like the best time to do it.
The scene of Lee shooting down the Heathens members after they stole one of the Cubans trucks is based on another scene from Daredevil where the Punisher killed off the members of the Dogs of Hell Motorcycle Club. And the scene of Lee crushing the BGA members head was based off a scene from Quarry. I couldn't just feature Lee in Dockington City without showing him getting at least some payback on the BGA.
BSU's new headquarters on the water is based on Vito's headquarters in River Row on Mafia 3 because I've recently found out River Row in Mafia 3 is based off locations put within the upper 17th, 16th, and 15thWard in New Orleans. Where as Delray Hollow is based off much of Uptown which accompanies most of the lower west bank.
Ernesto carrying out the job for New Austin in Onda was more or less meant for him to regain face with them. Onkewhonwe is planning on showing him doing another job for them that I think I've said too much about already so he will be in Sunbelt for a while but while he's there the Vagos and Azteca's in New Arcadia will find themselves trying to hold their own against the 4thWard.
Stick around for next chapter that will mostly follow Task and Adahy as they look to moving in a shipment of guns into New Arcadia to supply the Vagos and Azteca's. Lee returns to New Arcadia in response to a number of violent attacks against the Asian Community and Roman returns to New Arcadia as well (and no it's not Mark), and another tragedy shakes the city to the core.
Thank you all for reading have a nice day.
