I left out mission details from this chapter including some dialogue. The chapter was really long and didn't want to make it any longer
Chapter 14: Grove Street
Stephanie didn't find Franklin at his house in Vinewood Hills, she drove to Forum Drive in Strawberry. Franklin's car was parked across the street from his aunt's house with him in it, Steph got out of her car and approached his. "Damn baby you looking fine." Franklin said getting out of his car, she wore a black halter top and, black booty shorts with Sexy written on the ass, thigh high black socks, and her black converse sneakers. They kissed and walked hand in hand to his aunt Denise's, she was gardening in the yard when she saw Franklin. "Don't you dare step foot in this yard." She told him. "Why? It's half my house too." Franklin replied. "Nuh uh, I'm gonna call the police." Denise told Franklin. "For what?" He asked in response. "Disloyalty boy." She replied. "Disloyalty, what is you talking about?" Franklin asked. "Don't act like you don't know what it is, homeboy." Lamar Davis's voice said from the front door. Lamar stood in the doorway of Franklin's aunt's, he had his Rottweiler Chop on a leash. "You ain't been on the set, you ain't been to none of the meetings." Lamar told Franklin. "So I'm getting a lecture about not being a good enough gangbanger?" Franklin asked Lamar. "Gangs is positive, that's all we got my nigga." Lamar replied.
Denise looked at Franklin and Stephanie, she stepped forward a bit and opened her mouth to speak. "You always was a stubborn boy, I say left you say right. I say become a doctor, you become a patient. I see." Before she could finish her sentence Chop started barking. "Who is that?" She asked spotting Trevor walking in the yard. "Well Franklin, you never told me you had a sister." Trevor said looking at Denise. "That's my aunt, my mom's dried up ass sister." Franklin replied. "Shut the fuck up boy!" She shouted. "Yeah shut the fuck up!" Trevor added in. "Here darling, go buy yourself something nice." Trevor told Denise handing her some money. "Why thank you." She said counting the money. "This is…this is seven dollars." She said hatefully." I said something nice, not expensive. You wanna be a greedy fucking cow hub? Now get the fuck out of my face." Trevor told her. "You men are all the aame." Denise said before turning around and walking in the house.
Trevor looked at Franklin and Steph, he eyed up her perfect figure. "So what are you kids up to?" He asked Franklin. "Me and my girl here were gonna get out freak on and rest. Then this fool and my aunt turned up. "Franklin replied. "Man I was gonna holler at you about this thing man." Lamar told Franklin. "Man I said I'm tired dog." Franklin replied. "What thing?" Trevor asked. "Nobody's talking to you homie." Lamar told Trevor with his hand in Trevor's face. "Hey, let's do something about this thing." Trevor told Lamar. "What thing?" Franklin asked. "That little Stretch thing homie." Lamar replied. "Great it's a gangbang, come on let's go." Trevor told the group before walking to Lamar's van. "Who da fuck is this nigga? Where he from man?" Lamar whispered to Franklin. "Just come on, fuck." Stephanie replied in an annoyed tone. They followed Trevor and got in the van, Lamar and Franklin got up front with Franklin behind the wheel, Steph, Trevor, and Chop got in the back.
Franklin started the van, he drove down Forum to the stop sign. "Where we going?" Franklin asked Lamar. "Grove Street, we buying some blow. Stretch set this up." Lamar replied. "Oh great." Franklin said sarcastically. "Hey, since we're out here banging. Any of you got any dust for me and my girl back here?" Trevor asked Franklin and Lamar. "Fool wanna get butt-naked?" Lamar asked in response. "I'll get where ever it takes me homeboy." Trevor replied with a smile. "Homie's crazy man." Lamar told Franklin. "Yeah so I hear." Franklin replied. "Stephanie caught Trevor staring at her legs, he gave her a creepy look that made her feel uneasy. "Do you mind not staring at me?" She asked Trevor. "What's wrong, dirty old men creep you out?" He asked her in response. "Only when they are rumored to eat my corpse." Stephanie replied. "That's just vicious rumors girlfriend, I ain't gonna hurt you. Now why don't you pull down them shorts and lay spread eagle for Uncle Trevor?" Trevor said with a creepy smile. "Rain check." She replied calmly.
Franklin made it to Grove Street, it used to be Families' turf in the 90's, before the leaders moved off to Vinewood. "Did you all hear about that MC Clip fashion shoot that's supposed to happen around here?" Lamar asked the group. "I didn't think you cared about that." Franklin replied. "I don't care, shit. I was just saying, I don't care about nothing." Lamar said in response. They pulled up in the cul de sac and parked the van, the posse got out of the van and walked up to one of the houses. Lamar carried a duffel bag and led the group to the front door, Stephanie and Franklin were behind Trevor who was beside Lamar. "Yo, be on point. This fool janky." Lamar told everyone. Lamar knocked on the door, a bald black man in purple answered, he was one of the Ballas. "Courier service, package to collect." Lamar told the man. "Got the grip?" He asked Lamar. Lamar opened the bag, it was full of money, he showed it to the dealer. "Present and accounted for." Lamar replied. The dealer opened the door, in his hand was a white brick. "Sample?" He asked Lamar. "Now you talking." Lamar replied. The dealer pulled out a knife and cut into the brick, he handed Lamar the knife, on the blade was some cocaine for Lamar to bump. Lamar snorted the bump, he felt a small rush from the drug. "Oohh, my throat getting numb already." Lamar said excitingly. "So we good right?"" Franklin asked. "Yeah." Lamar replied. "Come on, let's go." Stephanie told Lamar.
Trevor stepped up to the door, he had a look of distrust in his eyes. "How about a taste.?" He asked calmly. "No, we're leaving." Stephanie said firmly. "I want a taste from the other side of the brick." Trevor told the dealer. "Nah you heard what she said, you leaving." The dealer replied. Trevor grabbed the brick, he struggled with the dealer for a minute trying to pull it out if his hands. "Gimme this, gimme that back." He grunted. The brick broke in two, Trevor and the dealer both had half. Trevor grabbed the ounce of blow and showed it to the dealer, Lamar knew immediately what happened. "Did we ask for a key? Or a fucking ounce!?" Trevor asked angrily. "Man that's motherfucking drywall!" Lamar yelled before drawing his pistol. "Hey we got some buyer's remorse out here!" The dealer yelled before shutting the door. "You can't fucking hustle a hustler!" Trevor yelled through the door. The group were engaged in a giant gunfight against the Ballas, the four made quick work of the Ballas on Grove Street, one of the Ballas had a grenade launcher and sbot it at Lamar's van. The van exploded leaving them stranded on Grove Street, Chop ran back to Forum Drive under Franklin's command.
The four fought their way to the end of Grove Street, some cops showed up blocking their path. Lamar bolted down an alleyway, the rest followed him. "This way!" He shouted. They followed him into the river, they spotted a camera crew, some jet skis and MC Clip. "Look it's MC Clip, that's the fashion shoot. MC Clip!" Lamar shouted. They ran up to the jet skis, Stephanie took her shotgun and hit MC Clip across the face breaking his neck. "Hey I wanted his autograph." Lamar told Steph. Lamar, Trevor, and Franklin each got on a jet ski, Steph got on Franklin's and held onto him. They made a hasty exit, they fled the cops and exited the river. "Hey we need to split up." Lamar told them. Trevor left the group and headed east, Lamar, Franklin, and Stephanie headed west towards land. They docked on a small beach and worked their way uphill, Franklin hotwired a Canis Mesa that was parked on the side of the road. He dropped Lamar off at his place on Forum, Lamar got out of the car. "That was a hell of a situation homie." Lamar told Franklin. "Yeah, some bullshit is what it was." Franklin replied. "Ah hell homie, it's just another Tuesday for me. Later." He told Franklin. Stephanie got up front and rode with Franklin, he drove to Rockford Hills. "You wanna crash with me tonight?" He asked her. "Yeah, it'll be nice to have some alone time." Stephanie replied. Franklin headed up Whispymound Drive to his house, he parked in his driveway and got out along with Steph, they walked hand in hand inside the house and shut the door.
