Several Varrios were relaxing on the Santa Maria Beach. There was rarely trouble between the Varrios and Grove Street. But that was probably just because CJ and Cesar were such good friends. Sweet had begun to accept Cesar, thus ending lots of hatred in the families. Several Ballas could be found in the ruins of their former drug empire's territory. They were called 'retirees' because of how they were no longer real Ballas. (Imagine a Ballas with torn up clothes as the model for Balla retirees.) The Vagos were also hanging by a small thread. They were able to halt Grove and Varrio invasions of East Los Santos, Los Colinas, and northern Los Flores. The Ballas and Vagos had only a few fanatical members left that were slowly decreasing in number.

One of Cesar's closest friends, Hazer, fresh out of the hospital, was there with them. They could all relax and have fun. With him were 30 other Varrios. Hazer looked from behind sunglasses he was wearing.He saw a black blur on the horizon. It was growing bigger.

"Probably a dolphin." Hazer said in his Mexican voice. He began to hear his men speak about it in shocked voices. He looked out from behind his shades again. "Hey, what are you guys so. . ." Hazer said looking at them. He noticed the blur was taking shape. It was no longer a blur, but 7 boats armed with 2 to 4 men clad in red and black. "Worried about." Hazer finished. He then saw miniguns attached to each boat. They all pointed at the beach. The fight fo Los Santos was about to begin.

Meanwhile, at Sweet's house on Grove Street. . .

Cesar and CJ were playing poker. Cesar had already won 3 out of 5 games. CJ kept changing the amount of wins needed to win all of them.

"Come on, holmes," Cesar said, "Just give up. I beat you every time."

"Just hold on." CJ said. "Best 4 out of 7."

"No way, ese." Cesar said. "Can't you just admit that I beat you?"

"I'll raise you my AK-47." CJ said.

"Alright." Cesar said. "But this is getting childish."

"Come on Carl, you can beat him." Sweet said. He didn't really believe Carl could. He was laughing a little inside at Carl.

"No way Carl can beat Cesar." Kendl said. "He never loses. I've seen him get best in everything, especially racing, lowrider contest and anything else you can think of."

"You turnin' your back on your bro?" Sweet said. "Besides, what would a woman like you know." Sweet said playfully. Kendl didn't find it funny and slapped Sweet across the face.

"A woman like me knows how to kick a gangbangers ass!" Kendl said.

"Yeah, but a woman has no strength." Sweet said.

"You wanna bet?" Kendl said. "I'll arm wrestle you."

"You're on girl!" Sweet said. He and Kendl sat down at a table and immediately started. Cesar and Carl laughed.

"Oh boy." Carl said. "They probably won't stop fighting til' one of us wins."

"You're probaly right, holmes." Cesar said. "Oh, and don't try to cheat." He noticed Carl moving five cards from his sleeve.

"Damnit! I was hoping you would'nt see that!" Cesar said.

A few minutes later, Cesar won.

"And that's why no one screws with me!" Cesar said getting up.

"Man, that was hard to get." CJ said. Cesar's cell phone rang.

"Hang on a sec, ese." Cesar said answering it. "Who is this? Oh, hello Hazer. How's your vacation going?" Cesar said. Suddenly, Cesar's face turned grim. "What? You're kidding me!"

"What's going on?" CJ asked.

"Here, listen to him." Cesar said pressing the speaker phone button.

"And these guys are shooting up our eses!" Hazer's nervous voice said. "They are attacking us all over the Santa Maria. We're sitting ducks! I've gotta go! One's coming." They heard the sound of the phone drop on the ground and the cocking of a gun. "Eat this you white mother. . ." was all they heard before the phone was crushed. CJ quickly rushed out to Sweet's Greenwood with Sweet, Cesar, and Kendl. Kendl said she didn't want to sit back and let her man get killed. Everyone except Kendl packed a gun. Cesar loaned CJ back his AK-47, Cesar carried a silenced pistol, and Sweet had an SMG. Carl drove off fast as possible for the beach. While these events took place, another city was also under siege.
