Hi everyone! I actually kept to my promise of uploading one chapter a week. Don't know if it will last, but I'll try to remain consistant. Once again, shoutout to LynGuerra for the non-stop motivation to keep writing. Please read and review!


After stealing a pair of purple cargo pants and white tank top, Mei walked into TeeNay feeling like the world had come to an end. "The Saints are gone….the only family I've ever know….gone…this doesn't seem real…." She thought to herself as she drank her beer. Mei could feel nothing but pure hatred for Dex and Troy, who had played major roles in destroying the Saints. While his constant questions had always rubbed her the wrong way, in her heart she had believed that Troy was a guy she could trust, almost like a responsible older brother who look out for her and all the other younger recruits. But for him turn out to be an undercover cop, it made every gesture of kindness he offered seem like entrapment. How many secrets had the Saints confided in Troy that were later used to throw them in prison? How many orders had loyal soldiers been given that were ultimately setups for the cops to swoop in an arrest them? How many personal tragedies and emotionally traumatic experiences had Saints members shared with Troy, only for him to use that information to manipulate them into giving him information about the Saints? Mei's thoughts suddenly brought her back to her conversations with Troy. "Did he tell his cop friends my secrets? Did he tell his superiors about how I was an orphan living on the streets for most of my childhood? About having to sell my body just to survive?" An even colder thought crossed her mind "Did he tell them about my feelings for Lin? About how I fell in love with Lin from the moment I laid eyes on her when she walked through the church? Did he manipulate these feeling I had for her, and did this manipulation lead to me being shot and Lin ending up dead?"

Although she had never told the other saints, she had always found herself attracted to both sexes, though Mei had a preference for women. And in her eyes, Lin was the most incredible woman she had ever met, and one of the most badass to boot. She was beautiful, smart, resourceful, and above all else, always kept her cool. There were even things she told Lin that nobody else knew. So when that sick bastard Sharp shot Lin in front of her , it set off a wave of emotions for Mei. And now the idea that something she may have passed along to Troy could have gotten her killed only further filled her heart with anguish and hatred. When troy passed along information on the crew, what's to say some "honest cop" didn't turn around and sell that information to Sharp. It would also explain how some of their plans seemed to have been leaked in the weeks leading up to Lin's Death. "I'll just add Troy to the list of people who are gonna die slowly. When I'm done with that fucking narc, I'll make what I did to William Sharp seem like mild S&M gone wrong." Mei thought cruelly. And then there was also the matter of Dex 's sudden disappearance. Did he get picked up in a similar manner like Julius, or was it voluntary? Could it have been some dispute with the Columbians or possibly a grudge let over from their takeover of Stilwater? The rumor was "guys in suits" came for Dex, so maybe they were Feds trying to shake down the gang? Or Maybe in criminals from some other organization who wanted a piece of their drug operation? And then there was Julius, who seemed to have fallen off the face of the Earth after being busted. Was he even still alive, and assuming he was, why would he allow the Saints to fall apart like this? With Gat on death row, and all the other Lieutenants either dead or missing, it was no surprise that the gang fell apart without any real leadership.

As Mei sat their alone drinking a beer, she couldn't help but think about Johnny Gat; arguably one of the toughest and most loyal Saints there was. They had been the best of friends since day one, mainly because they both appreciated a good killing spree in the same most people enjoyed watching football or playing video games. She helped Gat improve his already legendary shooting skills, while he taught Mei new methods for using her knife wielding skills in close quarter combat. They two had bonded over putting in work for the Saints; the raid at the docks, saving Aisha's sister from the Vice Kings, saving her life from Anthony Green, her rescuing him later from Anthony Green, torturing William Sharp for Lin's death, even blowing up Kingdom Come records and helping Aisha fake her death. Gat was a true partner in crime in both a figurative and literal sense of the word. Suddenly, Mei's thoughts were broken by the breaking news broadcast that flashed. "I'm Jane Valderamma from Channel Six News reporting live outside the courthouse" Mei looked up and to see Valderamma on the screen with two photos; one of Johnny Gat and the other of Troy Bradshaw. It was strange seeing them both.

"It's said by some to be the trail of the century." Jane Continued "A notorious member of a gang once known as "The Third Street Saints", Johnny Gat was arrested last year in an assassination attempt against then decorated officer Troy Bradshaw. In the resulting trial, Gat was convicted of one count attempted murder, and a staggering three hundred eighty-seven counts of murder, promptly sending him to death row. Over the past year, Gat's legal team has filed appeal after ap- " "Hey Barry turn that shit off!" yelled a customer who took a seat next to Mei. She turned to face him "Hey, I was watching that!" the customer sneered at her "Well I guess you aren't anymore, are ya..you dumb bitch!" Mei in one swift motion, grabs the knife behind the bar slashes his throat open. "Hey, could you turn the TV back on Barry?" she asked. Barry switches the TV back on while showing no concern for the bar patron bleeding out on the floor. "With this final appeal, we will find out if Johnny Gat goes home a happy man…or a dead one." "No rest for the wicked I guess. I gotta rescue GAT!" she quickly ran out of TeeNay and carjacked a couple in a red bootlegger. She drove at full speed, running over pedestrians as went. Even if she couldn't get back her other friends, there was no way she was letting them execute Gat…..not if she had anything to say about it.


In the court room, Johnny Gat stood there listening to the Judge drone on about the seriousness of his crimes, but Gat mind was more concerned about other things, such as Aisha and what would happen to her once he was gone. "If these cocksuckers are gonna fry me, at least I should've gotten to kill that fucking narc, Troy." He thought to himself "I wonder if you really thing that this appeal is going to work after being convicted of over 300 counts of first degree murder" the judge inquired smugly "I figure with the statute of limitations, it really oughta be more around 250" the judge was disgusted "There's no statute of limitations for murder!" "Why the fuck not?" he asked "What yourself Mr. Gat" she warned. Gat just shrugged "Or what? You'll hold me in contempt of court? I already know your planning on giving me the chair! You think I give shit? Fuck off!" Gat had already made his peace what awaited him, but he certainly wasn't going to give someone the satisfaction of making him beg and grovel for his life. "I'm curious if you can keep that cavalier attitude with 2000 volts running through your body?" Gat was unfazed "And I wonder if you can keep acting like a bitchy douchebag once I shove the gavel up your ass?" Legal Lee took this time to interrupt "My client would like that stricken from the record…..". Before anyone could continue, the sound of gunshots came from outside the courtroom. "What was that?" the judge asked. As a court officer drew he pistol approached the doors, they were kicked in by Mei with such force that the door came off its hinges and slammed into the officer, knocking him out cold. Everyone in the courtroom went silent, unable to comprehend what they were seeing. The criminal known as Mei, a.k.a "The Archangel of Saints Row" stood before them in the courtroom despite the fact not only was this homicidal criminal supposed to be comatose, but she was comatose in a prison infirmary in a facility surrounded by the ocean! The second court officer tried to creep around the judge's bench, only meet the barrel of a gun "Drop it" she ordered. The officer compiled too quickly, and dropped the gun instantly, discharging a shot the ricocheted off the walls in the courtroom. Legal Lee poked his head up from underneath a desk "Anyone hit….need a lawyer" . "Its about time your burnt ass work up"

Gat looked different from how Mei remembered him. He seemed more muscular and built, probably attributed to his time locked up. She was glad to see that awful dye job was gone from his hair. She walked to the officer still standing and took his handcuff keys. "How you been Gat?" she asked as she tossed him the keys "Other than almost being sent to the fucking chair, I'm doing swell" He gave her a long glance, "You do something to your hair?" she laughed "Wasn't really concerned with that when I was in a coma. Though I'm glad to see you got rid of that "honey badger" look you had going." She noticed him staring intently at her "Gat, what's up?!" Gat shook himself out of his daze "My bad, seems like your boobs got bigger. You might actually be fuckable enough to someone who's really desperate." "Screw you Gat! Anyways lets get out of here" Gat made his way over and picked up the gun off the knocked out officer.

They made their way through the courthouse, gunning down anyone dumb enough to try and stop them. What shocked the responding officers, was that despite their being only two of them, they seemed to be taking them out with ease. After shooting their way through the courthouse, they were about to exit, only to find it blocked by five officers. "I got this, cover me" Mei stepped around the corner a shot four of the officers in the head with rapid succession. She made a running sprint and tackled the last officer before he could draw his weapon. She had him on his back and mounted him with her hands around his throat. "Too bad I don't have time to make you suffer...BYE BYE!" After hearing the familiar sounds on a neck being snapped, Gat came from around the corner. "Wow…Glad to see you haven't lost a step". They got outside and carjacked another bootlegger, then sped off as SWAT vechiles zoomed past from the opposite making their way towards the carnage they left . "Good to have you back Gat" Mei left the happiest she had been since waking up. "No prob. Thanks for busting me out" Gat replied "Eesh would've killed me if I got executed" Mei couldn't help but laugh "You and Aisha still together". He smiled "Yeah. Sure things were tough with her faking her death and me being on death row, but we found a way to make it work". Mei decided it was time to get the rundown "So what happened while I was laid out?" Johnny shook his head "Everything really went to shit! First, Troy tuned out to be a fucking Narc. Julius is missing, has been since you got blown up. And Dex…..don't even get me started on Dex. Anyway, Troy is now Chief of Police, his reward for "cleaning up Stilwater". And he's been trying to figure out what happened during your little yacht ride with the Alderman." Mei pressed him "Tell me….what happened to Dex?" Gat took a deep breath "He dropped his flags. Some guys from Ultor came by the church and offered him a job. The asshole didn't even look back" Mei was stunned at the News. Dex, had sometimes been a bit of a grouch, but had always seemed like a smart and decent guy. "Can't believe this, also can't believe Troy was a fucking narc" Gat nodded in agreement "I know what you mean. When I first got inside, things were pretty rough. I even had the shit-eating guards taking bets on how long I would last. All of that changed when Troy became the chief, guess he's more forgiving than me." Mei thought for a moment on all of this. Troy not only made sure nobody pulled the plug on her, but he made sure nothing happened to Gat while he was locked up. "Maybe he was more of a Saint then he thought" Gat laughed "I highly doubt that. Anyway, so what's the plan?" Mei smiled "We rebuild the Saints. We get a crew together and we retake our fucking city!
