Grand Theft Auto: Mayhem

by Its Rice Man

Leaving prison, a Yakuza hitman is sent to Los Santos by his family boss to protect him from enemy gangs. Once there he is given complete autonomy and begins building his own criminal enterprise and makes a name for himself in the San Andreas underworld.

5. Ken's Response

So I've decided to change Officer Lopez's name to Cortez because I thought it sounded a lot better and I've also decided to rename the Irish mob since the name didn't sound good at all and I hope you'll be pleased who will be in the group when they show up in later chapters. On another note when referring to members of Ken or Arthur's gangs they'll simply be called ''Morimitsu-kai member'' or ''SAMLOS member'' to make things easier. I hope you all enjoy this long episode as well.

Location: Rising Sun

Time: 12:30 AM

Chapter 5: Ken's Response

She had responded to dispatch about a shooting that had taken place at the Rising Sun restaurant just ten minutes ago and now she was on her way there. Even though Officer Cortez had confidence in herself she was still slightly nervous in having to deal with organized crime as her first assignment.

''This is unit 24 en route to the Rising Sun ETA 5 minutes.''

She continued her drive toward the Rising Sun and soon enough she found herself in the Little Tokyo district. Due to being one of those districts with small streets she had to be careful and despite that inhabitants being asleep for the night she saw a few bystanders standing around and she knew they knew she was here responding to the cartel's recent drive-by at the Rising Sun. After taking her time being careful driving through the streets she reached the restaurant which was in the center of the district meaning there was plenty of enough room to drive at a moderate pace. She saw several bystanders on the sidewalk looking at the establishment. She decided to drive around to the back side and when she approached the side door she saw something she instantly recognized. The sound and flashing of her sirens catching the attention of the group of talking men.

Arthur Morgan and John Marston along with Teller and Big Mitch talking with three Japanese men and a GSF member. The presence of a GSF member made her raise her eyebrow and when she parked in front of the group off the curb Ken just so happened to walk out at the same time. Knowing that leaving the scene with a cop present would make trouble for the Sons and CJ they all stood as they watched Cortez leave her vehicle.

''Alright people, there's nothing to see here please clear the area!" Cortez ordered and the pedestrians did what they were told without incident.

Ken took a step standing in front of the group.

''Relax, let me do the talking with this cop.'' He instructed before turning back to face Cortez.

Though he despised law enforcement, Officer Cortez was very attractive even in Ken's eyes. She stood about 5'5'' in height and had D-sized breasts and a very nice curvy figure. The amount of pleasure he'd give a petite Latina like that made him inwardly grin but he had to keep his cool and he doubt she could take a 6 foot muscular Japanese guy like him.

''Utsukushī josei.'' (Beautiful lady)

Cortez could see the bullet holes in the wall and the dumpster where the men took cover when the cartel opened fire on them. She then approaches Ken and took in his appearance. He had medium length hair that was combed left parted and his light skin compared to her tan look made him pretty handsome. The fact that she could see he took off his shades to reveal his slanted and brown eyes made her grin inwardly herself as she could seduce him for information if that need ever rose.

"Más guapo que los hombres latino.'' (More handsome than Latin men)

''Are you the owner of this restaurant?'' She asked.

''Yes I am officer.'' Ken replied with a sad tone, in reality it was an act.

''I got a call about a drive-by shooting and I can see there's bullet holes here and there, any reason why your restaurant would be shot at? Were you or anyone hurt?''

''I don't know I'll just assume it was a bunch of street thugs doing their usual street thug things. I know this city has a high crime rate but I couldn't resist the beauty of it.''

She was playing a game by being the clueless cop but she knew that if she was up and front about why she really came to the Rising Sun her chances of uncovering a Yakuza presence in Los Santos would be blown and she'd probably lose her badge for something stupid as being as honest as that.

''Alright then, is everyone here okay? No one hurt?''

Ken shook his head.

She then turned her head to ask the Sons, CJ, Shigeru and Shirase. ''What about you guys?'' She then takes out a small notebook from her pocket and a pen. ''Could you please describe the vehicle or any individuals who were involved?''

''Sadly none of us could provide a description officer, we were inside playing Poker when the shots started happening and as soon as we heard your sirens we came running out for your help. Afraid there would be no security camera footage either since they're all set up in the front end and the back in the restaurant.'' Ken explained.

''Yeah, we ain't seen shit Officer.'' CJ said.

''We only just showed up to see what the commotion was about ma'am.'' Arthur said.

She knew there was something up with that statement and had a feeling this man was lying but decided not to say anything.

''Oh, well that's unfortunate now that I can't provide more assistance for you mister...?''

Ken smiled at Cortez.

''It's Ken Officer...''

She pointed at her name tape.

''It's Officer Cortez.''

''Ah well it's no problem Officer Cortez, this is Los Santos anyway so drive-by shootings are the norm around here. Thank you for your help though and if anything comes up we'll give you a call.''

Both the cop and mob boss nodded to each other before turning around to head their separate ways. Cortez however, turned around to say a few more things.

''Hey.''

This prompted Ken to turn around to face the cop, he does the action saying no words.

''I hear Japanese food is pretty good and I saw on eyefind that it's got lots of five star ratings, I just might come by again and grab lunch or breakfast tomorrow.'' Cortez said.

The butcher faked a smile. ''Well it would certainly be nice to serve the Los Santos Police Department's finest, you and your fellow officers are welcome here anytime.

He and the rest of the men walked back into the restaurant as Cortez did the same by going to her police cruiser and entering it. She then drove off to head back to the police station. She didn't get any useful information whatsoever but she was getting real suspicious. Considering that she saw Arthur and his Sons and that one Grove Street gang member plus several Japanese men in suits she knew something was definitely going on at the restaurant. She recalled the dispatch radioing that four bikers were shot at, she assumed it was Arthur and his Sons and how they she assumed came to the Rising Sun after she was shot it meant that there was definitely a war that was beginning. However, she could absolutely not act against Ken without proper evidence because even his calm demeanor made her suspicious about him. For now, she would let Tenpenny and the Chief know about what's possibly going on.

''That guy is weird, how can he be so calm when his place was just shot at. Why does he have a Grove Street member and Arthur and his Sons at his establishment? There's no way this guy is some random restaurant owner he's is definitely something more than that.'' She thought as she continued driving. ''There weren't even any spent shells on the ground and it smelt a bit like bleach, what were they cleaning?''

She continued driving away from the restaurant until she turned a corner and was no longer in sight of the men.

-Rising Sun-

''Man fuck the pigs they always nosy.'' CJ said as they all walked toward the meeting room.

''Thank god we hid the body, picked up the cartridges and mopped the blood up because that lady would've suspected something was up.'' Shigeru added.

''These cartel boys are really getting on my nerves now, how dare they shoot at me and my Sons.'' Arthur growled.

Ken however, remained silent as they walked through the hallway and he stopped at the door before the meeting room and looked inside to see his dead soldier resting on the table in the room. Several more Morimitsu-kai members were seen looking over their fallen brother and this sight made the butcher sad as he had seen too much of it back home in Tokyo. He did not personally know the man but he was like family to him. Without saying words he motioned for his comrades to head into the meeting room with him and when they all entered it he shut the door and locked it shut. He took his walkie and whispered something into it before turning his attention to his colleagues.

''Take a seat everyone.''

Arthur and his Sons, Shigeru, Shirase and CJ took seats at the meeting table and watched as Ken walked back and forth before taking his seat. They all sat there in silence and they only watched Ken sit there and the position in which he was sitting was just him placing his elbows on the table with interlocked fingers and resting his chin atop his hands. Shirase knew that look all too well and that meant he was thinking on how he can respond to the cartel's shooting.

''What are you thinking Ken?'' Shirase questioned.

''Yeah ototo, you're making us uneasy saying nothing.'' Shigeru said.

''...''

''Ken boy say something.'' Arthur said.

''...''

''We will retaliate, but we need to plan accordingly and do it without attracting the attention of the law..'' Ken said, almost in a whisper like voice. ''The moment the law comes in, it's all over.''

Arthur was about to chime in but Ken raised a hand silencing the club President.

''Before you say anything Arthur, I want to know what your club has, what kind of weapons are you carrying exactly?''

The President only sighed.

''Well Ken my boy, as I've said before we don't have any type of gun running business so we really only have each individual member's personal stock. Now if we are getting into a war with the cartel I should warn you those Mexicans are armed to the teeth since some of their members were former soldiers in the Mexican army. However, what SAMLOS may lack in firepower we make up for with being better with a gun since we have some members who served in the military, us four included.'' Explained Arthur. ''Mostly we have pistols, some submachine guns and I've seen members own some ARs and AK-47s.''

John, Teller and Big Mitch nodded at Ken and the butcher was impressed.

''So you're all military veterans?'' Ken asked.

''That's right, what we learned in training we taught some of the members of SAMLOS because I thought it would be pretty useful. I myself served in special forces so I know what I'm doing when using a gun.'' continued Arthur. ''Teller however, served in the army as an explosives expert so he can be our bomb maker if this war calls for it. Big Mitch served in Iraq and Marston was an artilleryman stationed in South Korea.''

Ken was even more impressed with SAMLOS now knowing that they could make bombs with Teller's knowledge from the army.

''Now I'm definitely glad we have this partnership. You mean Arthur is telling me that you can build bombs from scratch?'' Ken questioned.

Teller simply nodded.

''He can, he was an explosive ordnance disposal specialist serving in Afghanistan. He's our go to guy in a war if bombs are sought after.''

''This should be something to look forward to. Now I've already spoken to CJ before about how armed his gang is Grove Street only has pistols and baseball bats if I recall CJ?'' Ken said looking at the gangbanger.

''Yeah, sorry we can't help you out against the cartel homie, if the Vagos are allied with the cartel then we ain't got no problem dealing with them yellow wearing niggas while you and the SAMLOS fight the cartel. I bet yo ass if we messed with them or them Mayan niggas we fucked so they're all yours dude.''

''And for your help you and your gang will be rewarded greatly. So now, does anyone have any suggested plans we can implement against the cartel? All ideas are welcomed.''

Shigeru, despite being more apprehensive compared to his brother raised his hand first.

''Well, wouldn't it be a quick fight if we take out the cartel boss? I mean I don't know where he lives but we can track him down and kill him.''

By tradition if one crime family took out the boss of another it would end the war in very short notice. However, Ken wanted to deal damage in other ways to the cartel to show that he isn't one to be messed with and to let any other potential enemies know he's a menace.

''We can't just win by taking him out alone, a guy like that is going to have a lot of protection and considering that they may be allied with the Mayans MC and the Vagos street gang makes it a bit more of a challenge to take him out. Arthur.''

''Hm? What is it boy?''

''Didn't you say you're enemies with these Mayans?'' Ken questioned.

''That's right, what of it though?''

''Who is the President of them? He's going to be a prime target too if he's allied with Los Sonora.'' said Ken.

''The President of the Mayans Motorcycle Club Blaine County chapter is a man named Javier Escuela, that guy is an old colleague of ours and in recent years he has been acting aggressive toward SAMLOS so we cut all ties with him. However, there's no doubt in my mind that he may have formed an alliance with the cartel and helping them distribute cocaine into the city with the Vagos, or that's what I thought until I caught a drug dealer selling that crap near our clubhouse and when we gave him a beating he revealed to us that he was given the crack from the Mayans to distribute and they never dabbed in that silly matter.'' Arthur explained, ''So I guess that gives us enough of the reason to believe the two are in cahoots with one another. SAMLOS as a whole believe the cartel may be arming the Mayans and Vagos in exchange for the drug distribution.''

''Then it's settled with the Mayans, what about these Vagos CJ? It's possible all the Mexicans are working together on some level.'' Ken said.

''I can't say so homie, but I probably have the GSF homies watch out for them too since they sell that crack near our hoods so I would say they helping the cartel like them Mayans.'' CJ said.

''It's common practice for people of the same race or ethnicity to work together so we'll target all three. CJ, you and your Grove Streets will deal with the Vagos but try and get the Cambodian gang in this too since they have rivalry with them. Morimitsu-kai and SAMLOS will handle the Los Sonora and Mayans MC. If we plan accordingly we can win this fight and whatever businesses these groups have will be our reward to share and the rewards I'm talking about are this; Los Sonora's cocaine distribution will be taken by Morimitsu-kai, SAMLOS will gain everything the Mayans have and all Vagos territory will be claimed by Grove Street and the Cambodian gang if they join the fight.'' Ken concluded.

''That sounds fair to me boy but I wanted to ask this too, what kind of guns are you packing for this fight?'' Arthur questioned curiously.

''To my knowledge, my old family boss sent with all the men I have here with several weapons that are professional military hardware. We have rifles, pistols, shotguns, submachine guns with a few grenades so if we combine our stockpile with SAMLOS then we can make this an even fight. If anything we can rob local gun stores.'' Ken explained.

''But how would we go about a fight with the cartel and Mayans without getting the LSPD involved? This is going to be difficult since we're in the second largest city in America ototo.'' Shigeru said out of curiosity, ''Public shootings or anything like that is sure to get the police on us, maybe even the National Guard and that would be the last thing we'd need.''

Arthur, John, Teller, Mitch and CJ all nodded in agreement. Surely there was a way Ken could fight back without making it way too obvious on who the perpetrator is or getting public attention to a turf war. Since Arthur had revealed the identity of the Mayan MC President Ken just had to find out who the drug baron for Los Sonora was. Once he found out he can figure out a way to eliminate the leadership and hopefully this would cause the cartel and Mayans to back down and see reason and if not, then total annihilation of the enemy was his last resort.

''Don't worry, I have ways of doing this. So this Javier Escuela is the Mayan President, come on men we have to have some kind of name for the big boss of the cartel.''

Arthur chuckled, for a long time he had wanted Martin Madrazo, the drug baron for the cartel named after him dead and the reason? Martin was known back in Mexico as a ruthless murderer and no one was safe from his wrath, especially women and children who were his favorite targets and someone like that was a no go and never to be trusted in his book. Sure SAMLOS is involved in organized crime but the President has morals.

''The drug lord of the cartel is a man named Martin Madrazo, the biggest drug lord to ever come out of Mexico. We've heard rumors about him living up at this huge ranch up Senora road but it's just a rumor.'' Arthur began. ''It's a huge farm and I would guess that is where their main base of operations is so maybe we can attack that place, kill Martin and get this done quick then move on to the Mayans and have Grove Street and the Cambodians get the Vagos.''

''There we go, we got a name. Shigeru you were a drug dealer for them until I showed up so can you confirm this?'' Ken questioned.

''I heard the name being spoken before with Jose but I didn't think he was the boss so I've never met the man personally because whenever a shipment of cocaine was prepared for us to deal with we'd just meet them at that lot under Del Perro. Are you planning on attacking that ranch if it's confirmed Martin lives there brother?''

''No, I have other plans, we're going to inflict a retaliatory strike against the cartel to show that they are not invincible. I mean, come on I've already killed eight of them, including a lieutenant in one night so I'm sure killing more of their members would be easy.'' Ken countered, before realizing he was sounding way too confident, ''Sorry about that gentlemen, as I was saying I don't think we should retaliate back with a direct shooting, I think we'll try to draw some more lieutenants out so we can reduce their big shots until this Martin is the only one left.'' explained the butcher before he turned to Arthur. ''Does Los Santos have any hotels that are abandoned or any kind of place we can meet with some more lieutenants away from public eye?''

Arthur looked at his Sons. ''Isn't that hotel up in Chumash due for demolition later this month?''

Teller nodded. ''Yeah, maybe we can get Martin to send some lieutenants there for a meeting.''

''I think that'll work since it's the perfect place to take some of his command out.'' Mitch added.

''What's the hotel's name?'' Ken interrupted.

''It's called the Chumash Manor and it overlooks the Great Ocean Highway off of the west side of Los Santos so you can't miss it.'' John said.

Nodding, Ken turned to Shirase and got up from the table to walk over to him and he whispered something in his adviser's ear. With a simple nod Shirase exited the meeting room while Ken walked back to the table.

''In the case of Law Enforcement, I know a way to get them off our backs as we grow this alliance.'' Ken said.

''There's no way you can do that boy, unless you plan on putting them on your payroll.'' chuckled Arthur.

''Not at all, I'm not wasting money on the police, that Latina police officer that came an hour ago, I think I can convince her and make her a corrupt cop working with organized crime.''

Arthur whistled and let out a short burst of laughter.

''You're planning on banging that hot and spicy Latin ass? Damn Ken my boy you are my favorite person right now who knew you had good taste.''

''Never tried Latin ass, so here's my shot and I hope it's as good, if not better than my dead Vietnamese and French girlfriends' pussies. Okay men, I've gotten the information necessary to initiate a sit down with the Madrazo cartel. However, I ask you Arthur to accompany me at this sit down since you and the others were shot at too. You'll also have to let the rest of your club know we're going to war with Los Sonora and possibly the Mayans and Vagos. This meeting is done everyone.'' Ken said dismissing everyone else from the room minus his brother, CJ and Arthur.

''You guys wait by the bikes, I'll see what Ken needs.''

''Sure Pres.'' John said as he and the other two left the room and the building altogether.

''I'm going to try and scope this ranch out or maybe find the cartel distributing their cocaine in Los Santos so could you get any more info on the Mayans business?''

Arthur scoffed at Ken's request, however it wasn't a scoff meant to show hostility, it was more of a ''boy you're trying to get me killed'' kind of scoff.

''That's if the Mayans don't shoot at me first and I'd have to ride all the way to Blaine county.'' Said the President.

''Alright then, guess we'll just shoot Mayans. See you Morgan.''

Arthur and Ken shook hands before the SAMLOS President took his leave and that left only CJ as the other ally in the room.

''Sup homie?''

''Could you reach out to the Cambodian gang and see if they want to become part of this alliance?''

''Fo' sho dog, what if they don't though?''

''Then that's on them, however if they end up fighting for the cartel I'll take them out.''

''A'ight, I'm your trusty shot caller.''

CJ then called for a taxi to take him home for the night finally leaving Shigeru and Ken alone.

''Now for you.''

''Hai, what do you need or want me to do ototo?''

''Look around because I'm having a feeling the cartel has a place where they normally distribute drugs, you find a drug dealer, bring them back to the basement here and request them to come to our sit down through peaceful request, make them think we are backing down.'' Ken explained.

''I understand, when do you want me to do this?''

''Start tomorrow, while doing that I want you to also scout targets for sokaiya and begin loan sharking operations to bring in more money for us okay?''

Shigeru bowed to his brother.

''Okay, I will head back home now so I'll see you there unless you end up sleeping here.''

With his brother leaving the room he was finally alone and exiting the meeting room he walked straight to his office and ordered several men who were in the hallway to keep their eyes peeled for any trouble and to shoot at the first sign of cartel aggression. Heading into his office he sits down at his desk and gets his computer running. With the desktop on he heads straight to eyefind and looks up 'Known organized crime and street gang leaders San Andreas' in the search box and comes across a PDF made by the entirety of San Andrea's Law Enforcement Agencies and happily clicks on it.

He was brought to a list of organized crime groups and street gang leaders, like before it listed all major organized criminal elements and street gangs within the San Andreas area and first he started with the street gangs. There it listed the following; Grove Street Families, Ruthless Cambodian Boyz, East Side Vagos, One-Niners under Los Santos with the Puerto Rican Zetas and Marabunta Grande 13 under the Blaine county list. He clicked on each individual gang and noted their name and appearance from their mugshots and he saw that CJ was listed as a shot caller for GSF and the mugshot of him was from his teenage years and he was arrested for vandalism and assault. The known member listed for RCB was a Cambodian man known only by his street name ''Player 1'' who was arrested for murder of a Vagos gang member a few years ago. The Vagos had a known leader named Big Poppa arrested for cocaine distribution and is believed to be in league with the Mayans with connections to powerful drug cartels. Since the Zetas and MG13 weren't priority and were well away from Los Santos he decided to let them be for now. He looked into the One-Niners and their most influential member was a man named Laroy Wayne previously arrested for a drive-by shooting of several Grove Street and RCB members from a few years ago.

With the known gang members from each individual gang noted he moved on to the organized crime portion of the PDF. First he looked through the Los Santos portion and of course he saw SAMLOS listed as well as the local Russian and Italian mafia families as well as the cartel. He clicked on SAMLOS and chuckled at seeing Arthur's mugshot when he was an enforcer for the club from seven years ago of him being arrested for assault and battery of a Vagos shot caller as well as Marston when he was a Prospect arrested for attempted murder of a Mayan Prospect. Moving on to the Russian mafia the local family was called the Kruschevskeya Bratva and the local Italian crime family was the Capone crime family. However, since they weren't any trouble to him he still decided to note their leadership and the one for the Kruschevskeya was a man named Nicolai Itchenko who was a former Spetsnaz special forces soldier and the Italians had the Capone crime family in Los Santos who controlled a majority of the criminal vices within the city and neighboring areas and a man named Alan Capone was the boss.

''Alan Capone, grandson of the most notorious mob boss in American history, Al Capone of the Chicago Outfit. Boss of the Capone crime family. That's very interesting, I've heard of this Al Capone and to know he has a descendant running his own crew. However, for now the enemy is the cartel so these two groups will have to wait.''

He then moved on to Blaine county and saw that another Motorcycle Club was listed and they were called the Lost MC and were believed to be distributing heroin into Sandy Shores who were at war with a gun dealer named Trevor Philips and his crew.

''What an ugly deranged looking man.''

Moving on to Santa Ladrones he found information on the leadership for the Ku Klux Klan and the Angels of Death MC, the KKK was led by a man named Micah Bell previously arrested for various hate crimes as well as murder and mutilation of black, Hispanic and Asian residents in the city and was at war with the Angels led by a man named Dutch Van der Linde.

''Now that's really interesting, hope I can get to kill some hooded racist rats. This Micah Bell would look good as a beheaded burning corpse hanging off of a bridge.''

He then scrolled down to the San Fierro to conclude his little research and found that the northern city had the 18K Triads and the O'Driscoll gang operating within it's limits. Now, back in Tokyo he knew of the powerful 18K Triad that operated alongside the Otomo-gumi within countries such as the Philippines and Vietnam and even he knew that they were not to be messed with but a partnership in the countries they operate in stopped a war from happening. He wondered if the 18K that operates here would ally with his offshoot group since it can prove good for business and add to their numbers. He clicked on the 18K Triad and saw that the leader of the San Fierro crew was a blind man named Wu Zi Mu or Woozie as he was called by his gang. He was believed by the San Fierro Police Department to be heavily involved in prostitution of local women, weapons trafficking as well as fencing. Moving on to the final group he clicked on the O'Driscoll gang and saw that their leader was a man by the name of Colm O'Driscoll who had a long history of crime ranging from bid rigging, running a sawmill business within the area between San Fierro and Los Santos and receiving high-powered guns from the Irish Republican Army ranging from military grade rifles to light machine guns as well as crude nail bombs.

''This is exactly what I'm looking for, this Colm doesn't look friendly at all and eliminating him and his crew will leave the IRA no chance but to arm Morimitsu-kai.''

Feeling tired, he decided to just close his monitor and laid back on his chair to think about what he wanted to do to make sure the LSPD was off his ass when shit hits the fan with the cartel.

''Officer Cortez of the Los Santos Police Department. I have to admit she's quite sexy and the way her ass bounces when she walks. Maybe I can get her to see my actions as justified and get her in on the money we're making because money makes the world go round. Hope she will let Morimitsu-kai run our criminal enterprise.''

He closed his eyes and soon he felt asleep.

-Ganton, South Central Los Santos, Johnson Family House-

''CJ you're a crazy and stupid motherfucker.'' A large portly black man said

When he came home to his hood he and his fellow shot callers, Melvin ''Big Smoke'' Harris and Lance ''Ryder'' Wilson began playing a game of poker while smoking weed. Big Smoke was surprised to know what his fellow GSF member had been up to recently in forming the alliance with SAMLOS and Morimitsu-kai, same with Ryder but he thought CJ was just doing it for the free cocaine they might get.

''Seriously CJ you fucking crazy ass nigga, what the fuck.'' a man who resembled CJ said shaking his head. ''Getting us involved with the mafia?''

''I'm telling you nigga you is crazy, making deals with some mafia group and them biker niggas.'' Ryder said taking a puff.

''I trust Ken, that nigga my homie and he's Geru's bro dude so I think it's all good, promise you niggas that.'' CJ reassured. ''He ain't lying either I know this for a fact, Vagos have been beefing with us GSF for too long and I think it's time to bring the beef to an end and I hope RCB is down to light em up.''

''Yeah? He gave you that scar and took your forty-five nigga, some homie.'' Ryder snickered.

''Shit was my fault aight? Just keep it cool and spread the word to the gang and try to reach Kicker too see what he thinks.'' CJ said. ''Whoo! Looks like I win again nigga!"

''Man fuck this shit I'mma go and get my burger shot. You three want anything? Ya'll gotta eat to keep your strength up man.''

CJ picked up his blunt and took a puff out of it.

''Ay I'll have a number nine fat boy.''

''Give me a number nine just like his.'' Ryder said.

''Uh let me get a number six with extra dip.'' Sweet added.

''So I take it that the order will be two number nines, a number nine large, a number six with extra dip, a number seven, two number forty-fives, one with cheese and a large soda?'' Smoke said.

Ryder only shook his head.

''Smoke you wide I mean wide!''

''And that's why you all love me baby! I'll be back with the food homies.''

Ryder yawned and got up from his chair. ''Ay I'm tired niggas, see ya'll tomorrow I gotta go find my water.''

Ryder bid his fellow shot callers a farewell leaving the two brothers alone knowing that Sweet and CJ needed to talk about the current situation.

''Ay bruh, I wouldn't have made this choice if I didn't think GSF would benefit from it, plus you already know my boy Geru and his brother meant what he said, if we fight them Vagos niggas we be the biggest gang in Los Santos. I know we haven't been beefing as much but this is a chance to settle the score with them bean eating niggas bro.'' CJ said.

''I don't care nigga, this is still a dangerous choice for the gang to make and I know I don't bang anymore and you're the big guy in GSF so I guess I'll leave the choice to you bro. Just don't get my ass involved I ain't tryna get killed or thrown in the joint. Seriously, I don't want anything to do with this shit I got a bitch and a lil nigga to raise.'' Sweet said before heading into his room to join his baby momma in bed.

''Sweet, you always been a good leader to the gang but times is changing, we gotta make the connections if we wanna be the biggest and baddest gang in Los Santos. Man Ken you my new homie I trust you dog and don't worry Sweet, I got this shit.'' CJ thought to himself before laying down on the couch.

He closed his eyes and soon he fell asleep knowing he would be heading to the Rising Sun in the late morning to talk more with Ken and the Sons. He hopes that Ken and Arthur could help his gang and the RCB wipe out the Vagos for good for all those years of racial abuse from the Mexican gangbangers.

-East Los Santos, La Mesa-

''This part of Los Santos has a high concentration of Mexicans compared to the rest of the city so there's no doubt we'd find a member of the cartel in. If not let's find ourselves a Vagos member or some drug dealer, kidnap him and torture him since maybe they know where the cartel keeps cocaine.'' Shirase explained.

Following their little talk with SAMLOS and CJ last night Ken had decided to have his brother Shigeru accompany his adviser to look around for anyone who might know where the leadership for the Los Sonora drug cartel was located for confirmation since there was not a sure fire way to know if the ranch that was mentioned was really the stronghold for the cartel and Madrazo. Since the Vagos were put on Ken's shit list for being enemies of the GSF and having a past conflict with SAMLOS he had Shirase and his brother drive around East Los Santos armed in case they were shot at by the Mexican street gang. Shirase was more than eager to waste any potential enemy for his boss but Shigeru was still apprehensive on killing their enemies due to being the more soft sibling.

Right now they were driving around a street that smelled like drugs and as they were moving around they saw some Vagos members hanging out in groups and thanks to the windows on Shirase's black Karin Asterope being darkened the Vagos weren't able to identify them if they suspected something.

''So these Vagos indeed control the eastern area of Los Santos, wonder if the Mayans have any turf in this city?'' Shirase questioned.

''I've only heard some sicarios mention the Mayans being more north in Blaine county and I have seen some Mayans making deals with the cartel before when I started selling drugs for them but I haven't seen them since and that was years ago so we can't really say for sure they are still in an alliance of their own. The Vagos I've seen plenty of times. I think if we're really gonna succeed in finding out more info we'd have to find some drug dealer and get him because they deal with the lieutenants, the Vagos don't they're just given the drugs from regular cartel members.'' Shigeru explained.

''Then that's what we'll be looking for.''

The two of them continued to drive around the district and all they saw were Vagos members just hanging out before they decided to take a break from their searching. They drove into the parking of a nearest Burger Shot, the reason? Shirase wanted to try the stereotypical fat American food he heard so much back in Japan and being more of the traditional Yakuza gangster he stuck with his own country's cuisine.

''Fast food is really bad for you Shirase, but then again it tastes so good so I think one burger is good for you.'' Shigeru explained.

''I'm only thirty years old and still fit so I doubt one burger will put my health down Shigeru.'' Shirase chuckled before looking toward the sidewalk and noticing something.

He pats Shigeru on the shoulder to get his attention and points toward the street and saw what he believed was a drug dealer dressed in a red hoodie handing over a bag of white stuff to some female junkie. They observed the junkie handing the male a large sum of money before they both go their separate ways and they watched the male turn into an alleyway.

''Is that a drug deal going on?'' Shirase questioned. ''Get the car ready, I'll follow this guy.''

The two men followed the drug dealer into the alley and thank the heavens it was away from public view Shirase could beat him into unconsciousness and abduct him. Shigeru was handed the keys to the Asterope and got the car ready and parked it in front of the entry to the alley so they could make a quick getaway and waited for Shirase to do his work. He had been told from Ken that Shirase, despite being an adviser was also really good at kidnapping targets for the Otomo-gumi and this was a chance to see how this man operated aside from his brother.

Shirase was carefully making his way through the alley as he was following the drug dealer and he had walked by a few homeless people in sleeping bags next to a dumpster before he finally caught up with the drug dealer and saw that he was talking to someone and handing them the sum of money. The drug dealer was revealed to be African and the man he was handing money to was Mexican. Shirase had a hunch that this was a cartel member collecting the monetary tribute from people they had given cocaine to sell on their behalf. Hiding himself behind several trash cans he waited until the two men parted way for the drug dealer to come back the way he had came and when he had made his way toward the cans Shirase was hiding amongst he jumped out and grabbed the man from behind and put him into a chokehold. The dealer struggled for several minutes before he was unconscious he dragged the body away until he was at the entrance to the alley and he moved as fast as he could to get to Shigeru and his car. Shigeru quickly hopped out the driver seat and assisted the adviser in placing the unconscious dealer into the trunk of the car and before they knew it they sped off back toward the Rising Sun.

As Shigeru was driving them back Shirase took out his iFruit and phoned Ken to tell him of their find.

''Rīdo ga arimasu.'' (There is a lead) Shirase said over the phone before he and Ken hung up.

-Morgan & Marston Autos, SAMLOS clubhouse-

''Damn, how is the club gonna take the news that we're gonna end up going to war with the Los Sonora? Hopefully a majority support my decision.'' Arthur thought nervously to himself as his chapter of the club had assembled for the meeting he had called for. At least thirty-seven members in SAMLOS.

He watched as the members gathered among him with Marston, Teller and Mitch by his side and when everyone settled down he grabbed a microphone and began to speak to his club.

''Welcome Sons, how's everyone doing?''

His fellow Sons erupted in applause and cheers and he smiled at their enthusiasm.

''I called you all here today because I got something really important to announce, but also something bad to tell you to so please bear the news well for me okay?''

The members of SAMLOS talked among themselves and were wondering what the President wanted to talk about and the tone in his voice showed that he was serious, yet ready for something coming and when they quiet down Arthur continued.

''I don't know if any of you know this, but a few nights ago me and the Road Captain, Sergeant-at-arms and Vice President were shot at by the cartel on our way back from that new restaurant that opened up near Downtown.'' Arthur explained causing his club to discuss among itself again and when he told them to quiet down they still talked over him and this caused John to get annoyed at the disrespect given to his President.

''All of you shut the fuck up and let the President talk!" Marston shouted at the top of his lungs.

His loud and raspy voice got everyone to shut up and the V.P. nodded to the President to continued.

''That isn't the end of our problem though, you all remember the murder of the cartel members under the Del Perro freeway last week and how the cartel blamed it on us? Well, it turns out that the real perpetrator is the owner of that restaurant that opened up. He's not just some regular Japanese guy who wants to share Japanese cuisine with Los Santos, turns out the boy is a member of the most powerful Japanese mafia gang in existence and he came here to spread his gang's influence in San Andreas. However, that won't interfere with our auto shop and tattoo parlor. Long story short he had offered a coalition with the Sons of Anarchy in battling the cartel and quite possibly the Mayans. The cartel shot at the restaurant and killed one of his guys, they shot at us and that gives us a reason to go to war with Madrazo and I know this news is so sudden so if there is any objection to my decision go take your dicks and beat it off at home. When we win this battle our Japanese partner in crime will give the Mayan's turf to us as well as a cut in the cartel's cocaine business once we wipe them out and our club will only grow stronger.'' Arthur concluded.

The whole club remained silent as they took in the speech and while SAMLOS has been in a gang war before with the Mayans in the late 80s a few dozen members saw war with the cartel no different from one with a rival motorcycle club and soon they all nodded to each other and pumped their fists upward.

''Sons are gonna end those Mayans once and for all!'' a member shouted.

''I trust the President's decisions. Mister Morgan is the best President we've had since Hosea.'' said another unnamed Son.

''Wow, that went a lot better than expected..'' Arthur thought in shock.

''We got your back on this Pres, SAMLOS is going to show those cartel goons what's coming for shooting at the big guys!''

''Well damn, these bastards sure seem excited for a fight, ah can't blame them it's been years since we fought anyone so it's expected.'' Mitch thought with a smirk.

''Hope they don't mind we literally formed an alliance with a Japanese crime family who is obviously more powerful than us. If it helps us take the Mayans out guess I can accept that.'' Teller said to himself.

John was inwardly laughing at the riled up crowd and despite having restrained somewhat from criminal activities SAMLOS was still a strong force in the San Andreas underworld with their Hong Kong connections in San Fierro.

''Bunch of riled up greasy bikers, shit.''

*1 hour later*

With the meeting coming to an end Arthur was seen in the auto shop checking on his bike alone when he heard footsteps coming from behind him.

''You are one crazy son of a bitch Mister Morgan, making a decision like that before bringing it to the club what are you thinking?'' A raspy-ish female voice spoke.

Arthur recognized that voice and turned around to see a beautiful blonde woman standing before him with her hands on her hips. She was a very attractive woman at about 5'6'' in height and had long blonde hair and a southern twang whenever she spoke.

''Mrs. Sadie Morgan, finally back from your parents?'' Arthur said mischievously.

''Yep, I heard the news from John, what is really going on? Can you even trust this Ken guy?'' Sadie questioned as she gave Arthur a kiss on the lips.

''That bastard VP speaking of club business, listen Sadie, the cartel blamed us for the loss of their men under the freeway, shot at us and killed one of my affiliate's men and he's the one who took the cartel members out so SAMLOS has the right to fight back, shooting at an MC President? They need to get the message.''

''Not until I give you a message I've been waiting to deliver Mr. Morgan.''

Sadie then kissed Arthur passionately on the lips and the two soon found themselves engaged in a heated make out session. Arthur closed the garage doors and locked them and the two continued their heated kissing before there was a ringing sound and Sadie groaned in annoyance at having her moment with her husband interrupted.

''Fuck! Who in the hell would that be?'' Sadie growled.

Arthur took his iFruit out of his pocket and saw that it was Ken calling from the Rising Sun and knew he had to take this.

''Sorry Sadie I have to take this, hello?''

Sadie watched Arthur as he turned his back to her and heard him say a few things.

''Really? Uh uh, okay me the guys will be there.'' Arthur said before hanging up.

''Who was that?'' Sadie asked.

''It's strictly business Sadie, sorry but I gotta go with the guys, it's really important.'' Arthur said grabbing his helmet and dialing his VP, Sergeant-at-arms and Road Captain via their group chat on LifeInvader. ''Let's go boys, we got to see Ken he's got a lead.''

He hops onto his Zombie chopper and starts the bike, the signature sound of it's engine roaring to life before he opens the automatic garage doors and takes off in the direction of the Rising Sun and a few minutes later, Teller, Mitch and Marston's bike rode off to join the President.

''They're headed to the Rising Sun huh? Must be this Japanese man he mentioned during the meeting.'' Sadie thought.

She took out her iFruit and used the maps app to find the exact address of the restaurant so she can see the place for herself what her husband and the boys are up to.

''Fresh cuisine from the Land of The Rising Sun brought to American soil, what a silly motto. Located in the center of Little Tokyo huh? I oughta see this for myself.''

-Rising Sun-

It was another good day for the Rising Sun restaurant in the Little Tokyo district of Los Santos and just like the night before business was booming and the revenue the Morimitsu-kai was making exceeded the amount they had made yesterday. Following the drive-by shooting the night before from the Los Sonora cartel Ken had several dozen of his men guard the restaurant by pretending to be customers to blend in among the usual ones as well as some men he had posing as tourists around the district and streets of Little Tokyo and if anything was out of the ordinary they were to relay any info back via walkie talkie right away. Though the customers which consisted of average families were well enjoying their meals they were completely unaware of what was about to happen in the basement of the restaurant.

The drug dealer that Shirase had taken from the east side of Los Santos couldn't remember much of what happened the past couple of hours but what he did recall was being choked out by some asshole who snuck up on him after making his last deal for the day for the cartel. He stirred awake and slowly blinked to focus his eyes and realized that he was in a dimly lit room and that he was tied to a chair in such a way that he couldn't wriggle himself free, even his neck was bound to the chair.

''Yo what the fuck is going on?!'' The African man growled.

Several footsteps were heard and looking forward he saw several men emerge from the darkness, the men were revealed to be Shirase, Shigeru along with Arthur and CJ.

''Who the fuck is you niggas? Let me fucking go you punk ass bitches!"

The men continued to stare at the man and it would be Shirase who answered.

''No, we might have a use for you my friend.''

The door to the room opened and in walked Ken and the other men turned to face him.

''Can't wait to see what you're made of Ken my boy.'' Arthur said as the butcher walked over to join the other.

He walks up to the bound dealer and gets on one knee in front of him and the the facial expression he had on was one of kindness and generosity. Unknown to Arthur, Shigeru and CJ, Ken had a habit of torturing rival gang members that contributed to other gangs fearing him in Japan's criminal underworld and Shirase hoped that the others would be prepared for the pain he was going to put this man through to get the information he wanted as Yakuza gangs, particularly the Otomo-gumi were notorious for their merciless and highly brutal torture methods upon enemies and namely traitors.

''Hi there, I just have a few questions to ask you and I promise I'll let you go home and I'll just be straight forward. I heard you sell drugs and I was wondering if you sold cocaine? I'd sure like to try some of that white stuff?'' Ken questioned.

''The hell is it to you nigga? Why you wanna know that? Bitch you is dressed in a business suit you a goody two shoes nigga.'' The man spat.

''Uncooperative people just have it so much worse with me. You know what? I know you're selling drugs for the cartel and Martin Madrazo. So I want you to tell me about any hotspots where I can That's all I want off of you my friend and I'm asking very nicely.'' Ken said.

The dealer only glared at Ken in silence and grew incredibly belligerent and was wondering why the hell this guy would even ask about his drug dealing for the Los Sonora. He knew that if the cartel of Madrazo knew the he or anyone who was drug dealing for him would be eliminated in the most inhumane way possible so there's no way he was gonna tell this suited Japanese dude about what he does. Not to mention he saw the Sons whom he knew were an outlaw motorcycle club but there wasn't any beef he knew of between them and the Los Sonora.

''Man fuck you nigga, you fucking suit wearing ass punk bitch.'' The dealer spat.

Ken only smiled and looked at Shirase and nodded. The adviser acknowledged the gesture and walked over to a table that contained several tools. A hammer, a pair of pliers, a blow torch as well as a wakizashi. Ken points toward the hammer and Shirase retrieves the tool and gives it to the butcher. Ken whistles as he sizes the hammer up and makes his way toward the bound drug dealer who despite the hammer being presented and what might happened he remained defiant.

''Whatchu gonna do with that nigga? Build a house?''

Ken only responded by ordering Shirase to grab a roll of duct tape to seal the man's mouth shut for he did not want anyone to hear the man's cries of agonizing suffering and pain from what he was about to do.

''Ay nigga getcho hands off me! Mmmf!"

With the man's mouth taped shut Ken then wound up for a swing with his hammer and struck the man so hard on the left knee cap that a visible cracking sound filled the air. The sound of the metal impacting the flesh made the other inhabitants of the room wince in displeasure, particularly the Sons and Shigeru as they had not seen anything like this up close before.

''Damn Ken my boy, you really don't play around.'' Arthur thought with a slight shake of the head.

Ken smiled at the man's cries of pain and missed the sounds of someone in pain because of him it was really good to hear such sounds. After the man's cries died down a bit Ken could see that he appeared to still be defiant but regardless, he reached for the duct tape over his mouth and roughly peeled it off.

''Are you going to tell me what I want to know now my friend?'' Ken asked nicely.

The drug dealer only spat at Ken and growled in anger.

''The fuck you wanna know anyway nigga?''

The butcher only smiled at the dealer and placed the tape back over his mouth.

''Mmmf!"

The dealer struggled to try and break free from his bounds but it was no use and he could only watch as Ken took the hammer and went in for another swing with the tool and went straight for the dealer's other knee. He hit the knee much harder than he did the other knee and completely smashed it to bits causing massive pain for the dealer who shrieked in pain at losing his last good knee. Ken didn't care if this man was spared after the interrogation, should he choose to do so he'd be happy to know that he is wheelchair bound for the rest of life as a reminder to never be defiant in his presence again. Reaching for the duct tape Ken peeled it off his mouth after he had stopped crying in pain.

''Man fuck you!" He cried.

''Will you be cooperative and tell me where Madrazo's cocaine factories are? Is that ranch on Senora road where he lives?'' Ken asked.

The dealer only spat at Ken again and this was the final straw for the butcher since he had little time since the cartel might strike again soon so looking back toward Shirase he pointed at the pair of pliers and his adviser handed the tool to him while taking the hammer back and placing it on the table once more.

Ken got the pliers ready and got a grip on the man's canine. The man could only cry out hysterically at what Ken was about to do.

''Ay whatchu doing mm!"

Ken began to violently wriggle the pliers and the pain of having his tooth maneuvered in such ways. The butcher twisted the tool around to make sure to cause some extra pain for the man as blood began to seep out from the gums where the tooth was positioned and soon he gave a hard and forceful yank finally pulling the tooth out. The dealer bleeding profusely from the extraction crying in pain and the motion of pulling the tooth out caused a fair amount of blood to fly onto the floor with a splat much to the amazement of Arthur and the Sons and the shock of Shigeru and CJ who had never witnessed a torture before. Shirase on the other hand was inwardly grinning at seeing his colleague at work like the old days.

''Ah, the sounds of Yakuza torture advocates makes me happy.''

Knowing that the man would just be more defiant than before Ken did not hesitate to get a grip on another one of the man's teeth and like before proceeded to violently yank the molar out making the dealer lose some more teeth. With the tooth held by the pliers Ken tossed it aside and stepped back to allow the man to breath properly and catch his breath from the pain he had just caused him.

''You is crazy nigga fuck!" The man said spitting out a glob of blood.

''Tell me something I don't know. Now are you going to cooperate now or what?'' Ken said sternly.

''Ay man fuck you!"

Deep down he did not want to cause someone a huge amount of pain but this man was just prompting Ken to act the way he was toward him so he looked to Shirase and pointed toward the blow torch. Shirase nodded and grabbed the tool and walked to Ken who got the flame going. The sound and sight of the tool coming to life cause the man to cry hysterically in fear at the pain that was coming this way and he watched as Ken slowly shifted the torch toward his forehead and this was what caused him to break.

''Okay nigga okay! There's a phone in my jacket's pocket just take that shit it has info I'm sure you'd want.''

Ken turned the blowtorch off and smiled at the man's cooperation. He ordered Shigeru to reach into the man's pocket and pulled out an iFruit phone. Shigeru handed it to Ken and the butcher saw that it required a fingerprint unlock so he grabbed the dealer's hand and placed the thumb on the home button and the device was unlocked and there were several dozen text messages that were unread and Ken assumed that these were sent between the time when Shirase and Shigeru kidnapped him and the beginning of his torture and interrogation of the dealer. Clicking on the text messages Ken read them out loud.

[Where are you pendejo? Hurry up and get here with our tribute!]

''I swear if you do not answer these texts Los Sonora will have to hunt you down puto. ANSWER NOW!''

There was a silence in the room aside from the dealer crying softly from the torture.

''My Spanish is complete shit.''

Ken chuckled and this alone confirmed this guy was a Los Sonora drug dealer and had to pay tribute like his brother before.

''Where do you normally meet them?''

''I normally meet these niggas behind the Kortz Center to give them their tribute...fuck that's all I can tell you nigga I ain't know anything else.''

Ken turned to look at Shigeru and Arthur.

''Where is this place?''

''It's located in the Pacific Bluffs area near Del Perro beach on the west side of the city, you can't miss it.'' Arthur replied.

''Yeah, there is an empty area behind the spot where they might be waiting for him right now.'' Shigeru added.

''Perfect.'' Ken said before turning to face the drug dealer. ''You sure there's not more you can tell me?''

''I don't know that Madrazo nigga personally I never met him because he never personally meets his drug dealers, he has his lieutenants hand out the drugs and collect the money and then they return the cash to him, that's all I know man.''

Ken knew the dealer was telling the truth, however since he had seen all their faces and if they released him to meet cartel sicarios for his tribute he might be a snitch and tell them a physical description of Ken himself so this man had already met his end the moment he got out of consciousness. There was nothing left for Ken to do now but..

''I really did some work on your knees there so for being cooperative so what do you say I take you to a hospital? You'd better tell them you got jumped and not tortured.''

''Fuck nigga fine! Just let me go home please!''

The butcher walked behind the drug dealer giving the dealer false hope that he was going to get away from this hell soon but..

He never saw it, but Ken had taken a plastic bag and quickly encased the dealer's head in it and began to suffocate him to death. The dealer struggled vainly against the Butcher's grasp but soon enough he ceased to struggle and finally gave in to his demise, he was still as Ken gently lowered him to the floor.

''Well goddamn Ken.'' Arthur said trying to hold in his shock.

''Oh come on man, that guy told you want you wanted to know!'' Mitch interjected.

Ken said nothing to the Sons and dusted himself off.

''I mean, I messed up his knee caps and even if I didn't I'm not risking this bastard telling the cartel about some Asian dude torturing him and with them already knowing about this place that's just going to make things even worse for us.'' Ken explained before ordering Shirase to have some members get rid of the body.

''Let's get ready to head our to the Kortz Center, Shigeru you're driving us there. Arthur I'd like for you to keep us company if it's okay with you."

''Hey, the cartel shot at us all so we're going, we'll lead you to the center.'' The President said.

Ken left, followed by a shocked Shigeru, then the Sons but CJ was frozen in fear at what he had just witnessed. He watched as Shirase walkied members to dispose the corpse. He was a gangbanger for sure and he had seen some fucked up shit from people getting shanked in the middle of the street but having witnessed a mob related torture method he was glad Ken was on his side.

''Ken my nigga you a crazy mothafucka.'' He thought before leaving the room himself as two Morimitsu-kai members came to get the body.

Heading up the stairs Ken and Shirase headed into the gun locker at the end of the main back hallway and got some pistols which the butcher handed Shigeru one so he can defend himself, the younger sibling took the Glock albeit apprehensively. With them lock and loaded they exited through the back and got into Shigeru's Karin Sultan while the Sons hopped onto their bikes and took off first with Shigeru, Shirase and Ken following suit in the Sultan. They drove around for a bit until Ken got bored just hearing the sounds of the city and the roaring of the Sons' bikes in front of them so he wanted to try the radio to lighten the mood.

''Are there any good stations in this city?'' He asked. ''Let me see what kind of music the stations here play.''

He took out his iFruit and used eyefind to search radio stations in San Andreas and saw a list of the following; Headbanger Nation which played Heavy, Death and Thrash Metal, Radio Los Santos which played 90's Gangsta rap and hip hop, K-Wave 194.5 which played Korean pop music, K-ROSE which housed country music, Salon De Baile which featured Reggaeton, bachata and salsa music popular among Puerto Ricans, Non-stop 80's which featured all music genres from that particular decade, K-DST which played classic rock from way back in the day, The Laboratory which specialized in dance, dubstep and techno and finally SATR or San Andreas Talk Radio.

''Very interesting, quite a diverse list here. What do you personally listen to brother?''

''I listen to a variety of the stations but I mostly enjoy Radio Los Santos and Headbanger Nation the most.''

''Thrash metal..is it like rock music? I've listened to Led Zeppelin and Van Halen before and I quite enjoy it.''

Shirase chuckled at his colleague as it would make sense he did not listen to metal before so it would be amusing to see Ken exposed to new music.

''Headbanger Nation has some really good music on it, especially the 'Big 4' thrash metal bands of the 80s.'' Shigeru said.

''Oh yeah? Let's give this Headbanger Nation a shot then.'' Ken said pressing the button play the radio station.

"And that folks was Blackened by Metallica of their album And Justice or All which in my opinion is one of their best songs since the band's inception in 1981 right up there with Master of Puppets. This is Headbanger Nation I'm Elena Siegman your host and this next song is the leading track off of Slayer's best album Reign In Blood. This is Angel of Death.''

*Slayer - Angel of Death begins playing*

Ken was caught off guard by the sudden burst of noise from the song as it begun to play but as it progressed he found he liked thrash metal and soon began bopping his head up and down in beat with Angel of Death.

''Ooh I like this song, sounds so evil.''

Despite the seriousness of their upcoming gang war with Los Sonora and possibly the Mayans Shirase and Shigeru were glad Ken was at least lighting up the mood with his new appreciation for thrash metal and they inwardly grinned as they watched him bop his head in sync with Slayer.

Even through the roaring of their bikes the Sons heard Angel of Death playing and saw Ken doing some minor headbanging and Arthur thought it looked funny.

''Boy he needs to listen to some Kreator.''

Location: Kortz Center

Time: 4:00 PM

It was a Sunday afternoon, the usual meeting day where they went to collect their tribute from this particular drug dealer for the cartel named B-dup and here we see a few cartel sicarios smoking a cigarette, all of them armed with Uzis while their teniente was sitting in a black Mesa Grande wondering where this B-dup was with their tribute and he was only a couple of hours late. He was a very patient man but he was growing very annoyed as this was the first time the dealer was late to pay the Los Sonora tribute. As usual they waited for their dealer to show up behind the center well away from public view but the man not showing up was really getting on their nerves.

''Escuché que los sicarios de José dispararon contra ese restaurante japonés y mataron a uno de ellos.'' (I hear that Jose's hitmen shot at that Japanese restaurant and killed one of them).

"Perdimos ocho, así que al menos obtuvimos uno". (We lost eight, so at least we got one).

Then, the sound of the Sons' bikes echoing in the distance and that immediately caught their attention as they knew their fellow sicarios shot at the Sons as well and they recognized the sound of choppers.

The teniente looked up and saw the Sons plus the Karin sultan pulling up to their location and he stepped out of the vehicle while his men held onto their Uzis ready to shoot but he told them to hold up.

The Sons and the Karin Sultan parked across from where the Mexicans were and the teniente walked up in front of his men as he watched the Sons get off their bike and the occupants of the Sultan exit the car. Three Japanese men in business attire and he knew this had to involve their drive-by shooting of the Rising Sun and the Sons the night before so he had a reason to be alert.

He watched the Sons and Japanese walk over to him and he prompted him and his men to do the same.

''What do you want Morgan?'' The teniente asked.

''Say, aren't you another one of Madrazo's lieutenants? What was your name again? Miguel Galindo or something like that?''

''At least you're smart enough to remember names gringo, what the hell do you and these guys want? I'm surprised you don't just shoot us right away after Jose's guys attacked you.'' Miguel said.

Arthur scoffed. ''Well it's not really about what I want, you Mexicans attacked us so I'm just warning you to tell Madrazo he's got the Sons to worry about now. Now, this fine gentleman right here, the one with the shades is the one who wanted to come out here to make a proposal. Oh Ken my boy?'' he said motioning for the butcher to stand beside him.

''Who are you?'' Miguel asked.

''The owner of the fine Japanese restaurant your men shot at and they managed to kill one of my men. I'm also the man who killed those eight members of the cartel under the Del Perro freeway and Senora road.''

Miguel felt rage building up inside him but remained calm. Seeing that Ken seemed to come here with peaceful intent he had to do the same.

''So you're the cabron? Mister Madrazo would be happy to know your name. Also, how the hell do you even know where to find us anyway?''

Ken reached into his pocket and took out the dealer's iFruit and tossed it onto the ground in front of Miguel to show what happened.

''My men found your little drug dealer and we kidnapped him and tortured him to reveal his tribute location and that's where we're here, to make a request to avoid further bloodshed. Sorry about the dealer he was a dead man anyway.'' Ken explained.

''That black pendejo was unreliable anyway..alright then. I can see that you're not here to have a fight and we're outnumbered anyway. What do you want then?'' Miguel asked.

Ken took a few steps so that he was face to face with Miguel and the two men stared each other down sensing the hostility the men on both sides prepared for anything that may happen.

After a few moments of silence Ken spoke.

''Tell Madrazo that I request a meeting to settle any hostilities that may arise between the Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club, Los Sonora and my group, the Morimitsu-kai. I mean this in the most honest and respectful way possible to avoid a turf war erupting. Ten deaths already is too much and we're both criminals who want our operations to flourish and don't want the law to be involved. Tell your drug lord that we will meet at the abandoned hotel, the Chumash Manor tomorrow at 5 PM. Ken Mortimitsu, my brother Shigeru Morimitsu and the big four of SAMLOS will meet with Madrazo if he wishes to make an appearance at the Manor. We will meet in the management office.''

Miguel laughed at Ken's proposal and how foolish it was for him to just give out names like that.

''Sorry pendejo Mister Madrazo doesn't attend meetings like this, you're going to have to tell me what you want to say to Mister Madrazo so I can tell him after the sit down you understand?''

''He's too cowardly? Well that's fine since you're a lieutenant that means you have a say in cartel matters to an extent. Bring some more lieutenants as witnesses to our sit down. You can honestly bring as many men as you want my men and SAMLOS will come unarmed. Do we have a sit down tomorrow?''

Miguel turned to his men and translated what Ken said for them and they nodded in agreement and told Miguel that they will accompany him with the remaining tenientes under Madrazo. Despite not having the power in numbers like the Capone family Los Sonora still had firepower that even the balance of power with the Italians and Russians and having new competition with the Morimitsu-kai he knew that he had a chance to at least encourage Mister Madrazo to make peace so everyone can get on with their lives like they did with the other crime groups. Plus, he could tell Ken was being honest about having a peaceful sit down and he was the most level-headed teniente so why not?

''Alright then, since you came here with no hostile intent I will let Mister Madrazo know that we will have a sit down. However, if we cannot agree to an ultimatum Los Sonora will seriously go to war with you and the Sons.'' Miguel explained.

Ken nodded his head.

''Good, let's hope we can make peace I don't want war at all and I'm sure you do too. Until then.''

Ken turned to head to the Karin Sultan with his brother and adviser following suit. Arthur looked at Miguel and sneered at him.

''Goddamn cartel, you're lucky Ken wants to try to make peace.''

''Damn bastards.'' John said under his breath

''I guess we'll see you tomorrow amigos.'' Teller said mockingly.

Mitch didn't say anything and his only response was to spit onto the ground before they all walked and got on their bikes. The cartel members only watched them drive away and soon they were left alone in the area. Miguel looked down and picked up B-dup's phone and looked at it to see blood on it. This really only confirmed that B-dup was dead and he had no doubt that Ken killed their dealer.

''Voy a matar a esa perra por el señor Madrazo.'' (I'm going to kill that bitch for Mister Madrazo).

As they drove away from the cartel members Feeling his iFruit and took it out to see a text from CJ.

[Some RCB got into a huge brawl with the Vagos.]

Ken smiled and put the phone away.

''Another potential ally.''

-Chumash Manor, Chumash-

Ken, Shigeru, Shirase and the Sons pulled up on the parking lot of the Chumash Manor and saw that there were a few vehicles already parked there before them which told them that Miguel and several cartel members were already inside waiting for them.

''Looks like they're here already.'' Shigeru said as he parks the Sultan.

Arthur and his Sons park around the Sultan and they all get off to look at the hotel and the surrounding areas. The Manor was situated on a hill that overlooked the Great Ocean Highway and the town of the said name famous for it's fishing spots. It was a beautiful scene but it may be the scene of spilled blood if the meeting between Morimitsu-kai, SAMLOS and the Los Sonora didn't go as planned.

''Let's head inside men, wouldn't want to keep the Mexicans waiting for us.'' said Ken.

The group then made their way into the building and soon made their way down the main hall where the management office was situated. After making their way toward where the hallway ended they saw the sicarios who were with Miguel yesterday waiting for them, four more were there that they guessed Miguel had brought to try to bolster his numbers during the sit down but that didn't bother them the least and they appeared to be unarmed as well.

One of the sicarios stepped up in front of his guys to talk to Ken.

''Miguel and the other lieutenants are already inside waiting for you. Before you go in we have to check you all for weapons.'' He spoke with an accent.

Ken only nodded as he, Shigeru and Arthur stepped up to be frisked before they were allowed to proceed. When the three went into the office Shirase, Mitch, Teller and John were frisked as well and when that was completed they all stood and stared each other down. Despite there being only four of them against six sicarios right in front of them that didn't faze them one bit.

''I have to use the restroom, didn't you complain about having to take a shit too John?'' Shirase questioned.

John was confused to what Shirase was asking but saw that he did a small nod and quickly agreed to what he said and followed Shirase to the bathroom.

''The heck was that?'' Teller asked.

''Beats me.'' said Mitch.

Shirase and John made their way to the bathroom and when they entered it Shirase pointed to the toilet seat cover dispenser and John reached into it to pull out a black grocery bag that was stuffed underneath it and peeked into it. He saw a two Glocks, a tanto blade and a Desert Eagle in the bag and was baffled at how slick Ken and his men were.

''No way when did you guys put these here?'' John asked.

''Ask later, grab em and let's back to the others.'' Shirase said.

-Management Office-

Ken, Shigeru and Arthur stood at the entrance to the office and saw Miguel sitting at a large table and noticed that he was accompanied by three more men. They were all dressed casually for the sit down except Miguel who was in dress clothes and he pointed at the seats in front of him and his men for Ken and company to sit in.

The three of them walked over to join the cartel lieutenants at the table and when they sat down they only eyed each other in complete silence. Neither side not wanting to say anything at the moment until..

''Tēburu no shita ni.'' (Under the table).

Shigeru did what he was told and felt underneath the table in front of him and almost went wide-eyed at what he felt. Ken turned to Arthur and looked downward to show Arthur what to do. Doing what he was told the SAMLOS President felt under the table where he was and he almost smiled at the reason Ken told him to feel underneath.

Taped underneath the table Shigeru and Arthur could feel two pistols for them each and they now knew why he had Shirase come to the hotel the day before.

''Hoken wa ī.'' (Insurance is good).
