A/N: Been very busy with work so its been a while since I updated this story. I'm gonna try and post every week (hopefully those words dont come back to haunt me! LOL). Special shout out to HunnybadgerV and save the sharks for motivating me write again. Also a special shoutout to LynGuerra and Dominikki644 whose own amazing works inspired me to get back to writing mine. As mentioned before I don't own anything other than my original characters, etc, etc.


The guards left Mai alone in the prison infirmary to ponder her current situation. Mei lay there trying to figure out here next move. "First thing I'm going do when I get out of here is pay that prison guard a fucking home visit. You don't fuck with the Saints and walk away to talk about it." she thought darkly. But now that she thought about it, why had the Saints not come to spring here from Jail. And more importantly, who the fuck set her up? There's no way Alderman Hughes was involved, what with being dead an all. And it couldn't have been someone in the crew, the Saints were like a family to her and they would never betray each other like that. Most likely some greedy cop or a jilted lover with a score to settle was involved. It didn't matter to Mei, she would round up the Saints and bring hell done on whoever was responsible." Make way, we got another one coming in!" She heard someone yell from outside the infirmary. Suddenly, a prison guard and a doctor came through the door pushing a gurney with a young Latin male. They lifted the prisoner into the bed next to Mei; they were following closely by another older female doctor. "What happened?" the female doctor inquired. "stab wound, apparently this little wannabe banger tried to start some in the chow hall and paid for it". Said the prison guard stated cockily as the two doctor treated his injuries. "He seems stable for the time being. We'll keep him here for observation.", Stated the other male doctor "Fortunately it doesn't seem too bad. He's very lucky". "Lucky. Sure. We should have let the other inmate kill the piece of shit banger" the guard declared venomously "I'll the right outside if you need me". With that, the guard took a position outside the infirmary door. "Good. Samuels, let's review the psych reports for next month's parolees. Have to make sure we don't let any unstable psychopaths loose" She chimed while casting a catty gaze upon Mei. While to the doctors went to their adjacent office to review psych evaluations, the new patient turned to face her. He was a young Hispanic male, probably in his late teens to earlier twenties he had a light complexion for his ethnicity, almost making him seem more European. He had light brown eyes, had a decent physique despite his height, Mei was about 5'1, while the young man probably had only about two inches on her. But the most distinguishable feature he possessed was the purple bean bag cap he wore on his head. "Hi, I know you, your the Archangel of Saints Row Right?" he asked with enthusiasm of a little child "My name is Carlos. I got stabbed so that I could meet with you. I assume your going to need some help busting out?". Mei just stared at the young man with dumbfound fascination "I'm pretty sure I can get out on my own. And I pretty sure I dont need help from some idiot who get himself stabbed just so he can meet me, despite how flattering that is." Mei replied "Besides, I got the Saint backing me up. Once I get out of here, it going to be business as usual. With Some recreational violence and carnage in between trips to Freckle Bitches of course." Carlos gave her a very solemn look "I hate to tell you this, But there aren't any more Saints. A lot has changed in the five years you were gone.". Mei looked like she had just been hit in the stomach. "I can't believe I was out cold for five fucking years, and now to hear that the Saints, the only family I have is gone. That's too much to bear." she thought to herself. The idea of having a people who look out for you just for the sake of it seemed like a foreign concept to her. All that changed when she met the Saints. Julius, Troy, Dex, Johnny, and Lin had welcomed her to the gang, although in varying degrees. Julius saw a loyal soldier, Troy and Lin saw a little sister to take care of, Dex always seemed a bit distant though. But Johnny Gat? It was like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid anytime the two of them were together. Whether it was admiring their handiwork when they blew Kingdom Come Records to smithereens, Gunning down Westside Rollerz, or just kicking back at Frickle Bitches. And now they were gone, the only family she ever had.

"Yo, chica? You still there?" Carlos asked. She was snapped out of her thoughts and she looked over at Carlos. Until she could track down the rest of the crew, she would rely on this "wannabe banger" to bring her up to speed. "Yeah. I'm still here. And I think I'll take you up on that offer just one thing." She lean over to Carlos and got as close as handcuff restraints would let her. "You ever call me "chica" again, I'll rape you with you own cock while its still attached. Comprendae?" The look of confidence on face at the threat seemed to relax Mei for some reason. Leaning over in turn as closely as he could, Carlos her piercing gaze and replied, "Sure thing Boss. Now let's get you out of here."

After undoing her restraints and knocking out the guards, Carlos led the way to their escape route. "It's a closed off section of the prison" he said cheerfully "there won't be any guards…" as the opened the fire escape door, there stood three prison guards, dumbstruck by their presence there. "Freeze! Don't make a move!" screamed a tall, yet pudgy guard. The other two guards remained motionless, almost petrified where they stood. Mei reasoned that they were most likely new hires to the prison. "Too bad, if you only you hadn't crossed my path" Mei giggled sadistically "I guess there no way I can convince you gentlemen to walk away for all your own sakes?" she asked with a mock innocence in her voice. " Not a chance, and seeing as how I have you two dead to rights, you're not going anywh…." The guard never finished his sentence as him and the other two guards found surgical scalpels lodged in their heads. Mei had thrown them with such speed and accuracy, that Carlos never saw her move. "HOLY SHIT!" he exclaimed "How did you do that?" Carlos heard the stores heard the stories about how "The Archangel of Saints" how skills you only saw in video games, but there was three dead guards with surgical instruments imbedded in their skulls. "Let's just say I had a….unique childhood and leave it at that. Besides, we should probably get moving before someone realizes we're missing. Grab the shotgun, I got the pistols." Carlos took the lead, determined to prove himself, "Right, we can get out through the ventilation system, although we're going to have to do a bit of climbing." Mei smiled "Fine by me, let's get moving Carlos". "So tell me, do you remember my brother? He was in the Saints." Carlos asked hopefully. "He was the one who wore purple right?" Carlos said sheepishly "Sorry, I guess it wasn't possible to know everyone in the crew." After another five minutes of moving through the ventilation system, Mei and Carlos found themselves on the building rooftop. "Look over there" Carlos indicated towards the docks. Mei followed where he was pointing to see a patrol boat tied to the docks. "The rooftops are interconnected, but there are guard towers, so we have to be careful with how we approach. They've got guard towers all over the place" Mei couldn't help but admire the young man's tone of voice, which despite his age, carried the tone of a commander giving his platoon instructions. "He's a cutie, by not what I usually go for. I'll make sure to put in a good word with him once we link up with the Saints." She thought solemnly. "Here's the plan, there to many to take in a straight up shoot out, and if we get bogged down, we're as good as dead. I suggest running and gunning until we make it to the boat. It's got a mounted machine gun that should take care of anyone coming after us." Mei instructed. She pulled out the two pistols taken off the guards as Carlos readied the shotgun he was carrying. "Let's raise some hell Boss". As they ran for the first gate, Mei couldn't help be feel her chest swell at being called "Boss". Sure she had taken the reigns when the cops grabbed Julius, but she always saw herself as a placeholder, rather than a leader. "But who knows? Maybe I will be if Julius steps down, he'll pick me to lead, assuming that Julius doesn't go with the more obvious choices of either Troy or Dex to lead the Saints." She thought to herself. She quickly snapped out of here fantasy and brought her mind back to the task at hand. "Escape the shithole first, find the Saints, THEN fantasize about being the "Boss" in both name and respect, not just Julius's stand-in." As they neared the gate she gunned down both guards with two quick headshots, much to the surprise of Carlos. "Wow, she's amazing!" he thought to himself in awe as he watched her gunning down several guards that responded to the gunshots. He could now hear the alarms ringing throughout the and knew their time was running out. Looking ahead, all he could see was the bodies of dead prison guards. "I didn't even get to fire a shot" he thought to himself sadly. The last thing he wanted to do was look like dead weight or worse yet, have her think he was soft. "Carlos! Are you coming or what?" she exclaimed in a tone reminiscent of a little girl on her way to the candy store. She had cleared the 300 yards and some fifty something guards single handedly and he hadn't done anything. "Good job getting out here!' she complimented "I hope you don't mind that I took care of all the killing this time. I felt a bit rusty being copped up in that infirmary. And seeing as how you got stabbed in order to bust me out, I wanted to make sure I pulled my weight" she explained a matter-of-factly voice. "N-No problem Boss, I'm just happy to help!" Carlos replied in a very sheepish voice "I was worried I hadn't proven myself'. Mei responded to this with a laugh and flashed a smile that could put most super models to shame, "Not at all Carlos, I'll make sure to put in a good word with you to the other Saints". At these words, Carlos' face fell, but before he could respond, the air was filled with the sound of sirens. They turned around to see a fleet of patrol boats approaching them with a helicopter flying overhead. "Sorry Carlos, we gotta put this 'Golden Girls' moment on hold for latter" She said while disengaging the safety for the machine gun "You drive and I'll shoot, make for the shore. You get us there in one piece, and I'll get you a blowjob to end all blowjobs" She couldn't help but notice how red in the face Carlos became at these words.

20 minutes later...

"I can't believe you can shoot like that! It was like being in a fucking John Woo Movie!" Carlos shouted as they sped down the shoreline in the prison patrol boat they stole. He had heard the stories of this legendary gangbanger. He heard the tales of how the Archangel had once gone into Los Carnales territory and killed every LC within a 4 mile radius. And then there were story about the Lawyer, William Sharp that says that she castrated him, set him on fire, and then roasted smores over burning body while he was still alive. And while Carlos knew that not all the stories he heard were true, there was no denying that her reputation as a ruthless killer didn't do her justice. After breaking out of the infirmary, Mei shot her way through dozens of the prison guards while killing almost all of them with a single shot apiece. "There are only two things the get me off...getting off and offing motherfuckers who don't know their place" Mei declared with a look of ecstasy on her, "Unless your offering to help get me off". Carlos stood there completely taken aback. The Boss is a very attractive woman, she was easily a B-Cup with a perfectly shaped ass to boot. Seeing the look on Carlos', Mei broke into fit of giggles "Don't worry Carlos, I'm just messing with you. But the offer stands if you ever change your mind". Carlos breathed a shy of relief at this statement. While the Boss was beautiful, she was extremely intimidating woman.

"So Carlos, fill me in here. Where can I find the other Saints?" Mei asked "I've got to find the other Saints! Maybe Julius has just been laying low." She thought to herself, then a horrible realization crossed her mind. "Those cocksucker guards said 'Chief Bradshaw', I wonder if they have any relation to Troy. Hate to reach out to the berries, but maybe he got a connection we can use for tracking down who did this to me." Her mind then wandered to thoughts of her old friends, "I wonder what happened to Julius? Did they ever let him go? Was he on the boat with me when it blew up? Hopefully with Troy, Dex, and Gat holding things down the Saints are still running strong! I wonder how long I was laid up? Can't have been more than a couple of weeks at best, just got to links up with the rest of the crew". As the they disembarked from the boat, Carlos turned to her with the face of a sad puppy "What other Saint?" Mei felt her heart drop "What do you mean?" Carlos began explaining "Do you know how long you were in a coma?" Mei shook her head "A couple of weeks" Carlos shook his head, "Try five years! With you in a coma and Julius missing, there was no one to lead the gang. Then The Ronin, The Sons of Samedi, and the Brotherhood moved in, all the were either killed or dropped their flags." Mei felt all the blood in her body run cold. Not only was Julius missing, but the Saints…..the only family she had ever truly had….was gone. Something wasn't right here, even without her and Julius, the other Saints lieutenants should have been able to hold things together. "Carlos, that doesn't make any sense to me whatsoever. What happened to Troy, Dex, and Johnny…..were they…?" She couldn't bring herself to finish the sentence. The idea of all her friends being gone was too much to process. It had been difficult enough losing Lin, let alone the idea of losing the others. Carlos was still looking at her with those sad eyes, but continued on. "First, you remember Troy, who was Julius' right hand man?" Mei nodded "Turns out Troy was an undercover cop. A lot of the gang got collared because of him and it eventually led to him becoming Chief of police." Mei stood their dumbfounded, trying to comprehend what Carlos had told her. Suddenly, a lot of things about Troy were starting to make sense, his constant question asking, the way he always abided by the traffic laws, even the raid on the police station, where he suggestion another approach with less 'collateral damage'. Thinking back on it, how could they have missed he was a cop? How the Julius make narc his number two and not even realize it. The Saints were doomed from the beginning, with a cop listening in on all the top level dealings, no wonder things fell apart. But this again raised more questions than answers "Ok, Troy was fucking narc…" she gritted her teeth "What about Dex and Gat?". "Gat got busted." Carlos said "After word got out that Troy was a Cop, Gat went after him singlehanded. But it didn't go off so well and he got arrested. And not sure what happened to Dex. Heard some rumors that some guys in business suit came one day to the Church, and offered him a job. He dropped his flags right then and there" from the look on Carlos' face, it was just as difficult for him to tell Mei what happened to the Saints as it was for her to hear it. He continued on "With the Saints gone, Ultor came along and transformed the row and put up that fucking eyesore" he pointed to the large structure off in the distance emanating from Saints Row. It easily dwarfed the size of the surrounding buildings. "Wait Ultor…the clothing company" she asked "Yeah. Ultor's got the hands in a lot of things including real estate" Carlos replied "You've been gone a long time. I know you didn't ask for it, but I my advice? Go grab a beer and soak up as much information as you can" Mei deiced that it wasn't a bad idea. "Thanks Carlos, I think I'll do just that. I'm gonna rebuild the Saints even if I gotta do it by myself. You In?" Carlos' face lit up instantly "Sure! After all, there's still that blowjob you promised." Mei, without missing a step replied "if you really got have your jimmy waxed, there's an alleyway right across the street we can use" A these words, Carlos turned as red as a tomato. "Th-That's ok! Maybe an-another time" He stuttered as he took off down the street in the opposite direction. "Well….guess I'll go grab that beer…."
