Another chapter, review this one, seriously…

Not joking.

This chapter is a little first person view of what goes on in the eyes of the main character, This is mainly talking, not much action.

Chapter 3: Another Day in the life of Dwayne Banks

1987 North Point, Vice City

I couldn't believe it's been another week since I've taken over. Even though I usually despised stuff like this I had to admit I enjoyed the life we were living now. After all today was a great day, and for the first time in a long time I found myself shopping in the north point mall, well this time I had enough money to buy stupid shit I'd never use, like a Katana, who the hell needs one of those?

My feet dragged along the nice smooth floors of the wall as I looked around for something to do, but ever since I had taken over little Haiti, I could never be alone. At this moment I was closely guarded by Gino, Vaca, and two other black Sharks named Ref, and Baby boy. Eyes fell on our group as we walked through the packed mall and made our way to the sports section, we all split up and acted like kids in a candy store. We grabbed shirts, pants, footballs, and every possible kind of sports apparel. Seemed like everyone was having fun that is except for Gino, as usual. He waved over to me just as I picked up a chrome baseball bat.

"Dwayne, I've been to talk to you lately, I got an idea"

"Yeah? So come on man, jus say it."

"No there's too many people here, and I have a feeling we're being followed" He nodded his head towards the entrance to the section at a group of young men all sporting black leather jackets with rolled up sleeves, and one in the center wearing a tight white tank top and a pair of faded blue jeans.

"Yeah I noticed too Gino, but we ain't got no probs here, they wouldn't dear fuck with us, the North Point Hoodz are nothing compared to us." I casually waved the baseball bat at their crew and they instantly dispersed into the crowds of shoppers.

I turned to face Gino but he was already heading into the cell phone section which was practically abandoned. I mean come on, cell phones? They would never become popular. I picked up the smallest one I could find and watched Gino's expressions as he spoke. He was worried…

" I have some connections out of town, there's gonna be a lot of trouble coming into town by next year, the liberty city mobs are coming down for a piece of action. It explains why the Vercetti family has been letting us get away with the turf wars. The Liberty Families will be causing a lot of problems down here man, so we have a year to get on with my plan; we have to take over every operation in Vice City and the rest of Florida. If we run things here, they'll have to go through us to set anything up, but this might mean going to war against the Cubans, Vercetti, and those new guys, the Brits."

He tweaked his eye brows up and waited for my reaction. After an almost a minute of silence, I spoke up.

"Why are you telling this to me? We're the same in the Sharks, I run Haiti and you run Downtown. Why aint't you just goin to Danny?"

"See this is the problem, one of the Liberty families just happens to be headed by Don Castello, the man who murdered your parents" He took a deep breath and continued. "In a couple weeks Daniel will find out about this and he'll only want to kill and kill until there's nothing left but the police."

"What the fuck makes you think I would go along with this bullshit, what makes you think I don't want him dead" I was furious and practically drooling at the mouth, my hand clenched against the cell phone and stared dead into Gino's eyes.

"Because, you can think well than him, you know that we can use the families to our advantage, in a couple years we will be running the whole east coast, not as a street gang, but as a cartel man, think about it. We can set something up in México and Colombia, and then we can take out Castello."

"I guess, but there's a lot you're not telling me is there, for one he did not kill my parents, my dad isn't dead.

"There's a lot you don't know"

"Well then tell me, like for one how the fuck you know all this shit man?"

"Because Castello murdered my father, and for the last 5 years of my life I've been trying to escape my family, but now my Uncle wants me to join the family."

"What family, who the fuck are you Gino?"

"Let's finish this later, I have stuff to do"

"Yeah you know wha fuck you, let's just get out of here"

I went to the cashier and bought a couple cell phones, then Gino and I met up with the rest of the gang. Light hit my face as I stepped out into the blazing heat of Vice City.

Footsteps clicked behind us, I found my hand reaching behind my back and feeling the cold steal of my handgun.
