Hello everybody my name is TheAwoken54321 and welcome back to "The Blonde Criminal."
Quick reminder to all of you that I have officially closed the poll for anymore votes. I would have closed it a few chapters later in this story but apparently so many of you guys voted 'Yes' that there was no way for the people who voted 'no' could catch up. I was really surprised when I saw the yes's out voted those of you who said 'no'.
Anyway, I'm sorry to those of you who didn't want to see a harem and hope that you will at least put up with this story or wait for another story story that doesn't have a harem which might be posted by someone else or myself.
Jaykid1 :3
To those of you guy's who wanted a harem, these are the women that I figured could be part of it.
Harem:
Tracey (Obviously, she's the main girl.)
Cheetah
Chastity
Nikki
FuFu
Sapphire
Natalia Zvervona
Molly Schultz
Ursula
Debra (Floyd was to much of a bitch to deserve her. I don't understand why Debra chose Floyd as her fiance, she could do so much better.)
If you wish for me to remove any of these girls then just ask, but I will only remove that woman if a lot of people want it removed.
I might add one or two more girls depending if I can find anything that can suit my 'tastes' as well as your guy's. Feel free to recommend one though.
These are also some girls that have been recommended but I don't know if you guys would want any of them to be in. If so then leave your opinion in a review if you would like them to be added.
The girls are:
Antonia Bottino
Lacey Jonas
Saeeda Kadam
I will not add Amanda though, I have reasons why I wouldn't add her but they're not anything important. I plan to fix her marriage with Michael though, I can tell you that.
Oh, and I'm also probably gonna look for a Beta Reader to read and correct anything I have wrong on "The Blonde Criminal" and "The Void". You can Beta read both of them or just one of them, it doesn't matter.
That's all I pretty much have to say to you guys.
Now without a further a do...
Let the story continue
Enjoy... Or not, your choice.
The smell of strawberry's filled his nose as he started to awake from his slumber. Stirring a little bit, he slowly opened his eyes only to see the place where the scent of strawberry's was coming from. Her hair, Tracey's hair.
Once Naruto was fully awake, he looked around the room clueless on where he was. Giving out a sigh, he lied his head back onto Tracey's pillow and pulled her a little closer towards him. "That's right, I slept with Tracey in her room last night." He mumbled softly.
He blinked a few times before he turned his head and looked out of the window. From outside, he saw that the sun was starting to rise over the horizon. Apparently, feeling the light of the sun started to wake Tracey up as it was shining on her face.
Naruto smiled as he watched Tracey squirm in her sleep, she was just so adorable when she was like this. It didn't last long though until her eyes started to flutter open.
As soon as Tracey woke up from her slumber she felt someone under her that was giving her warmth, slowly looking up she saw the man who she fell in love with back when they were teenagers. She smiled before she leaned up and kissed him right on his forehead. First, it was just one kiss on his head, then he returned it, then it was another on his cheek, then he returned it again, the next thing you knew they were starting a full blown make out session as there tongues explored one another. She let out a slight 'eep' as he grabbed her body and flipped her over so he was the one on top. She apparently started to get turned on through these sudden events causing her to lean up to him as their crotches started to grind against each other through their clothes.
As they kept kissing, Naruto slipped his hands under her her shirt and started to massage her breasts earning a moan of pleasure from his fellow 'blonde'.
Tracey grabbed her shirt, their lips still locked to each other, and started to slowly remove it so her bare skin can be shown. They didn't get much further than that once they were interrupted by her door opening.
"Hey, Tracey. Have you seen Narut- WOAH!" Jimmy quickly shut the door, leaving behind his very furious sister who was blushing a little for being caught.
"Jimmy, you asshole!" Tracey yelled as she grabbed her pillow and threw it at her door.
Naruto chuckled as he got off of Tracey and sat on her bed. He should also be as mad as Tracey right now, but knowing Jimmy since they were young, he knew something like this was bound to happen. He was just happy it wasn't Michael or Amanda that walked in. If they had then they would have probably get all protective of Tracey despite knowing each other for a long time. "Hey, it could have been worse."
Tracey got up from her bed and went toward her drawer in order to get a new pair of underwear, she then went over to her closet and got herself a short shirt and a pair of jeans before she started to head out of her room.
"Where are you going?" Naruto watched her grab a towel before she looked back at him.
"I'm just gonna go take a shower in order to cool myself from what Jimmy so happened to walk into." Tracey yelled the final seven words downstairs. She looked back toward's Naruto who just so happen to get up from her bed and walk towards her.
"Alright, I'll be at the back if you need me."
Tracey smiled as the two shared another kiss again. "How about, we go enjoy ourselves in the pool later."
"We'll see, till then I'll keep that offer in mind." Naruto smiled before they broke apart.
Tracey smiled before she turned and started to head for their bathroom as Naruto stared at her. She jumped a bit as she felt Naruto smack her ass, causing her to start swaying her hips all the way until she reached the bathroom.
Turning around, she saw Naruto was still looking at her, so she decided to tease him a bit. Tracey took off her shirt allowing Naruto to see her bra before she started to unclip it from her chest. As soon as she unclipped her bra she let it fall to the floor as she closed the door to the bathroom before Naruto can see her breasts.
Naruto was leaning against the railing as he looking at the closed door that led towards the bathroom. He had to admit, he was turned on from what Tracey did but it wasn't enough to get himself stiff. "Oh the things I would do to break you Trace, just you wait." Naruto smiled, he then turned and started to walk downstairs where Amanda will eventually be at.
As soon as he got downstairs he saw Amanda in the kitchen washing some dishes as she hummed to herself. Taking a closer look, he saw that she was in her sports outfit, specifically her tennis outfit. It seems like she was gonna go play tennis somewhere soon, but where?
"Hey Amanda, have you seen Jim?" Naruto asked as he grabbed an apple from the table before taking a bite.
Looking back, Amanda saw the person that will probably help her out in some family problems. "Oh, Hello Naruto. Unfortunately, I haven't seen Jimmy in a while. The last time I saw him was when he rushed down stairs and out the door. I asked him where he was going but he only told me that he was going to sell something by the beach, saying he needed some money or something along those lines."
"Oh, I see. That's fine then." Naruto took a seat at the table as he kept munching on his fruit.
"Do you need him for something?" Amanda spoke curiously before she turned serious. "Did he do something wrong?"
"Well, he did kind of barge into Tracey's room uninvited." Naruto said, leaving out the part when Jimmy saw Tracey and him about to take each other on her bed.
*Scoff* "I can't believe that boy, even though I told him multiple times not to go into her room without permission, he still does it anyway. What am I gonna do with him?" Amanda turned off the water from the faucet before she grabbed a towel and wiped her hands.
"There's nothing you can do for him anymore other than support what he wants to do, though sometimes you won't like it. He's a grown man now Amanda, he can do whatever he wishes in his age that no kid can do. On the way he'll experience situations where he'll have to put up with more shit than what Michael or anyone of you guys gave him. Even though he might be a lazy 'kid' right now, he'll eventually realize that the world isn't going to help him change his life unless he has the will to change it. He has the right to make his own choices since he's an adult, he's what now... 22 years old?"
"23." Amanda corrected, she turned around and faced Naruto as she leaned on the counter. "You know Naruto, through what you just told me. It seems like you have a specialty on becoming a therapist or something. Maybe you can help my family as well as Michael sometime. You know, like one of those family meetings where we talk about our problems with each other or someone else."
"We'll see Amanda, we'll see."
Amanda smiled and was about to head to the back yard but before she could, she saw her husband lying their in one of those poolside chairs as he was talking to some man she has never met at all. From here she could tell that the man was black and seemed to dress like those other people south of Los Santos. Her family and herself try to avoid that area of Lost Santos plenty of times, knowing that only bad things can happen there at random moments.
This man her husband was talking to was Franklin.
"Who's that?" Amanda asked out loud drawing Naruto's attention to what she was looking at.
Getting up from his seat, Naruto walked next to Amanda and looked at where she was looking only to see what of his friends down south talking to his 'former' criminal colleague. "Since when did Franklin get here?"
Amanda looked at Naruto confusingly on who he was talking to.
"It's his name, look I'll talk to you later Amanda. I'm gonna see what he wants." Naruto opened the door to the back yard and started to walk over to the other two, leaving behind a very curious Amanda who just shrugged before walking away to do whatever she needed to do.
As he came closer upon the two, Michael eventually noticed his presence, where he then got up from his seat. "Naruto! Hey, why don't you come join me and my new companion here. We were just about to head out to get a beer at some bar I like not to far away from here."
Franklin looked behind him, as he was sitting down, only to raise his eyebrows at seeing someone he knew with Michael. "Ruto? What are you doing here, man?"
"I should be asking the same thing to you, Franklin." Naruto spoke as he crossed his arms together.
"Wait, so you two know each other already." Michael pointed between the two.
"Yup, I met Franklin a while back before he went to prison for a while." Naruto explained.
Looking at Franklin, Michael couldn't help but smirk. "Ahh, so you are a little experience in criminal work." He crossed his arms as he looked at Franklin. "So, what did you do to end up in the big house?"
Franklin glared at Naruto for revealing part of his past to someone he didn't fully know yet giving an annoyed sigh, he turned to Michael. "Shit, I didn't do much. I just sold drugs here and there for some fuckin drug dealer named Marcus, whom I killed later on."
"That's great, at least you've had your first kill. How'd it feel for you? Usually the first kill put's the person into shock for a while." Michael asked him, wanting to know a bit more about him.
"Honestly, man. I didn't feel nothin but anger once I killed that dude. I guess I'm not like most killers." Franklin leaned forward as he set his hands on his knees.
Michael gave a nod understandingly, there wasn't a lot of people in the world who can witness their first kill and not be shocked about what they've done. It's just the matter of how you do it and how you take it.
Looking towards Michael, Franklin wanted to know how he knew Naruto. "How about you?"
"What about me?"
"You know. How did you first meet Naruto?" Franklin looked between the two.
"Well, I first met the kid back in North Yankton, when my daughter Tracey brought him over from her high school. At first I didn't like him for being around my daughter so much since he was a Senior and my daughter was a Sophmore. She became very nice to him and cared for him more than she cared for her own family. It was like she'll take his side than ours anytime, anywhere, anyplace." Michael looked at Naruto smiling a bit. "Months have passed since we first met Naruto and pretty soon we all loved and cared for him as if he was one of our own. Soon, I took him under my wing and showed him everything he needed to know in order to be a successful criminal in life. Even though my family protested on this idea, we did it anyway with or without their consent. The two of us, as well as another criminal colleague, have done many heists together since then and became much more better in our lives."
"So why not continue doing more heists?" Franklin looked confusingly at him.
"I wish it was that easy kid, but I already told you. I'm a retired criminal, besides it will be really difficult to continue killing and robbing since our nine years of separation from each other?" Michael lied down on one of his poolside chairs as he place his hands behind his head.
"Why were you guys separated for nine years?"
Looking at Franklin, Michael started to get a little annoyed. "You know you ask to many questions."
"Shit, sorry man. I'm just trying to know what happened."
"Yeah, well keep this up with the wrong people and the next thing you'll know you'll find yourself killed. Besides you're asking the wrong person for that question." Michael let out a sigh.
Looking towards each other confusingly, Franklin and Naruto shrugged their shoulders at one another.
Getting up from his seat, Michael spoke. "You know what, enough of this chit chat. Let's go get that drink " He stretched his limbs out causing them to pop a bit before he started to make his way towards the front yard of the house, soon followed by Naruto and Franklin. "We're taking my wife's car."
"Sure, I don't got a problem with that." Franklin spoke walking beside Naruto.
As soon as they reached Amanda's car, Michael went into the drivers seat, Naruto went into the passenger seat, and Franklin hopped into the back seat. As soon as Michael turned on the car he received a call from his son, Jimmy. Looking at the caller for a sec, Michael then answered his phone before raising it towards his ear. "Hey Jim. I'm going for a drink w..."
"Dad, shit! I'm in our boat going down the Western Highway. It's, it's been stolen." Jimmy interrupted his father.
"What?! The yacht's been stolen?!" Michael spoke furiously causing Naruto and Franklin to look at him with raised eyebrows.
"I-I was trying to sell it. I know you didn't want it sold, but I needed the money and they don't wanna buy it, they just wanna take it. I'm hiding in the head."
"You're insane!" Michael yelled furiously. "Alright, I'm coming. For my boat." He then hung up his phone before he stomped on the gas pedal and proceeded his way towards the Western Highway.
"Alrighty then. Change of plans, my darling boy is in trouble."
"Ey, don't worry man. We'll help you out. If Ruto knows yo ass then I can at least help you with somethin like this." Franklin spoke, earning a nod from Naruto.
"Yeah, Jimmy's still family to me. Even though I can see he has his ups and downs." Naruto leaned his arm out of Amanda's car.
"Yeah, I can tell. Even though this might be a little late, I can at least tell you something on how to become successful in this world." Michael made a sharp turn towards the highway. "Lesson number one: don't ever have kids."
Franklin lightly scoffed at this. "Hey man look, if I ever have kids. I don't think no parenting issues would arise over who had boat privileges and who don't."
"Yeah, same here, but I at least want to have a family one day. It's just something I've kept in my mind for the past years." Naruto agreed.
"Alright kid, but when you're life becomes as fucked up as mine then don't come running back to me asking for advice or shit. You're just gonna receive an 'I told you so' and then you're on your own." Michael frowned a bit.
"Trust me, that shit's not gonna happen to me. I'm already learning from your mistakes." Naruto smiled a bit as they neared the highway.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Never mind, forget what you just heard."
Deciding to take this conversation elsewhere, Franklin decided to speak up. "Hey man, that boat you were talking about earlier. Where the boat at?"
"My boat, ha, she's been hijacked. They're somewhere on the western highway." Michael informed.
"Man ain't you worried." Franklin spoke trying to refer to Michael's son.
"About my boat? Yeah, I am. She was fucking expensive to buy but it was pretty worth it."
"But you can always buy another boat." This caused Naruto to agree to what Franklin was saying, but he know boats aren't cheap. It's gonna be a while until he can buy another one.
"Yeah, tell my accountant that. I don't think he would agree on me buying another one."
"Man, you can always get credit for one."
"And have you come repo it? No thank you."
Franklin shut his mouth after that. If he continued he would have angered Michael to a point where it will surely fuck him over.
Naruto looked at Michael for a while knowing that everything in his life and his family's lives have just become fucking horrible with one another. Everyone in the family has problems with each other, he wasn't used to this sudden separation between everyone. He gave out a long sigh before turning his head onto the road. "How am I going to fix this."
As soon as they came upon the highway, they saw a truck rushing by honking it's horn for people to get out of the way as it carried a boat behind it.
"Oh! There! There! There it is! That's my boat!" Michael yelled, he pushed the gas medal and started to chase the speeding truck that was carrying his boat.
As they came closer, they saw that the truck was cutting between lanes and sometimes ramming against civilian vehicles just to get them out of the way. Michael had to dodge a few cars that the truck rammed just so he wouldn't get slowed down.
"Your boat is in a fuckin' hurry man!" Franklin held on to Naruto's seat as they dodged vehicles left and right.
"Yeah, well, we'll catch 'em." Michael said as he put a little more pressure on the gas.
"We got a plan?" Franklin spoke as they were nearing the rear of the boat.
"Sure, once I get us up close..." He paused a bit once he saw the truck ram another vehicle out of the way. "... you two are the boarding party."
"Got it." Naruto said as he started to climb up onto the hood of Amanda's car.
"Shit, I can't believe we're doing this." Franklin said as he got ready for his turn.
"You'll be fine, just follow Naruto's lead. He's done this plenty of times before. If things get to hot, I got a piece in the glove box, I'll cover you two with it."
"Oh, yeah, man. Fine, just fucking fine. So you thought of everything right?"
"Franklin! You pretty much agreed to help with this shit. Stop bitching and grow some fuckin balls. You wanted to know the old ways of doing things, well this is the old way." Naruto yelled out as he balanced himself on the hood of the car. He then jumped on the rear end of the boat before he looked back and waited for Franklin to jump as well.
"Ey, I didn't know you guys done this shit back then. This is just crazy." Franklin climbed on top of the hood before balancing himself out. "Shit fuck me man, fuck my life." He muttered to himself. He took a deep breath before jumping on the boat, barely latching his arms on the rear as well as one of his legs.
"Yes!" Michael smiled seeing that both of them were now on the boat.
Naruto came and helped Franklin up onto the boat before he can slip and fall to his death.
"Hey be careful with my boat! I want that thing in one piece. Make sure to help my son out of their as well!" Michael yelled out.
"You got it." Naruto then turned behind him just in time to see someone coming out from inside of the boat.
"You guys are so dead!" The man spoke as he made his way towards them in order to kick them off the yacht. That however failed once Naruto pushed his leg to the side before punching him straight in the balls. The man gave a painful scream before he was grabbed and tossed off the boat. He probably would have lived if he hadn't been run over by Amanda's car. Sadly he did though.
"Hey kid! Don't throw people at the car! You have four lanes you can push them off of." Michael yelled. The reason for this was because he almost lost control of the vehicle when Naruto threw the man on the lane he was on.
"My bad Mikey." Naruto laughed a bit. He remembered how serious he could get at moments like this. Ah, Good old memories.
Before Franklin and Naruto can move any further up the boat, a Hispanic man came out of the boat in order kill the two intruders. But unlike the previous person. This one brought a pistol with him.
The two were taken by surprise on having someone pointing a weapon towards them.
"Que paso mi amigo. Aren't you a little afraid from being so close to death." The Hispanic man chuckled as he still aimed his pistol at the two.
"Shit!" Michael mumbled as he saw what was happening. He quickly opened the glove box and pulled out the pistol before aiming at the man with the gun. But their was one problem, he couldn't shoot the man if Naruto and Franklin were in the way.
"Shit Ruto, what are we gonna do man!" Franklin yelled a little panicked on having a gun pointed at him.
"Hehe, your black friend seems to know fear when he's near one. What about you Asian puto." The man spat as he pointed the gun at Naruto as he waited for a response, but the response never came. "Not gonna answer. Hmm, well. You're gonna die then."
"Franklin, duck." Naruto told his friend seeing how serious this man in front of him was.
"Huh?"
The Hispanic man then cocked his pistol signaling he was about to shoot them.
"Duck!" With that said. Naruto and Franklin both hit the floor just in time for a bullet to pass over their heads and into the Hispanic mans arm.
"Arggh! Fuck me!" The Hispanic man dropped his gun and held his arm in pain. Before he can fully process what happened, he was lifted up into the air and got punch in the gut.
Naruto leaned his face close towards the man before whispering. "Now, you listen and you listen good. I know fear. I know how it looks, how it smells, and how it tastes. Someone like you, a rookie, a nobody hasn't got a feeling of what real fear looks like and probably never will. To prove might point, I'll show you that you don't look anything like fear." As soon as he was done saying that, Naruto punched the man in the stomach before he tossed him off the boat. Killing him from the speed he was tumbling on once he hit the road.
"Holy shit!" Franklin exclaimed surprised to see what had just happen. It took him off guard at seeing something like this display in front of him, and to top it all, it was hosted by his own friend. Maybe there's more to Naruto than he thought.
"So, he still got his crazed self in him." Michael mumbled to himself after watching what Naruto did. "At least he can control it."
"Ok, now go find Jimmy!" Michael yelled from his car.
"Dad?! Is that you!" Naruto and Franklin heard the familiar voice of Michaels son.
"Not just your dad Jim. I'm also here." Naruto replied before he went over and opened the hatch jimmy was hiding from.
"Big Bro Naruto! Man, am I glad to see you!" Jimmy smiled as he got out of the hatch. He then noticed that he wasn't alone and saw the same person he saw back in Simeon's Dealership. "Wait? You're that guy from the dealership! Why are you even here?"
"Yup! And it's a long story bro!" Franklin replied.
Before they can take this conversation even further, the truck hit a bump causing the sail pole to turn towards the three. Franklin and Naruto were lucky enough to duck under it before it could hit them, but the same thing couldn't be said about Jimmy.
"Oh Shit!" Jimmy yelled in panic as he barely managed to hold on to the pole. He looked under him and saw the road moving fast under him causing his face to turn pale at wondering what would happen if he let go right now. "Arrghh! Dad! Help! Help! Help!"
"Son of a bitch!" Michael cursed at seeing what was happening, it didn't help either as he saw two more hijackers come out of his boat and started to duke it out with Naruto and Franklin.
"Michael! Hurry up and get your son! You know Amanda will be on your ass if something happens to him!" Naruto yelled as he pried a hijacker off him before quickly throwing him off the boat. He then went to go assist Franklin from his fight.
"Yeah! Yeah! I'm working on it!" Michael waited for the perfect opportunity to get under Jimmy without any cars halting him from moving forward. A few seconds passed by until he finally found that right moment to get the vehicle under Jimmy.
"Ahh, I'm slipping! Somebody help me, I'm gonna die!" Jimmy pleaded as tears started to come out of his eyes.
"Don't worry Jim! I'm here! All I need you to do now is let go!" Michael spoke from under him.
"Are you crazy! There's no way I'm gonna do that!"
"Well it's our only option Jim! You better make your decision fast because I'm running out of time!" Michael reasoned, the reason for this was because he saw cars closing up on him in the distance.
"Isn't their any other way!"
"No, there isn't. The only two options you have are letting go and me saving your life. Or you becoming road chum! Which one is it gonna be!" Michael yelled at him. He soon saw the cars were almost upon them, giving him little to no time. "Jimmy! Pick now! We're out of time!"
"Oh mother of Jesus, I hate my life." Jimmy closed his eyes, not wanting to look down, before he let go of the sail. "Fuck me!"
He plunged down onto the back seat of his mom's car before he then quickly sat up and hung on to the side of the vehicle. As soon as Michael caught his son, he slowed down enough for him to pull the vehicle right behind the truck. He was lucky he made it in time otherwise he would have crashed into another vehicle, ruining his chance on getting his boat as well as losing Franklin and Naruto.
"The fuck is wrong with you, kid?!" Michael yelled furiously at his son.
"Dad?!"
"Don't "Dad" me, you little shit. You better hope she's still seaworthy!" Michael spoke annoyingly, referring to his boat. Once he said that, he turned his attention back to his companions that were still aboard his boat before honking to them. "Hey, come on back here. We'll shoot the lock from the behind the truck, it'll detach itself from my boat!"
Hearing this, Franklin and Naruto nodded before they slowly started to walk to the rear of the boat.
"Aight then! First get the car closer! I ain't jumpin from here!" Franklin yelled as he grabbed a bar for support. As soon as the car was close enough, Franklin took a deep breath before he jumped off the boat and onto the hood of the car. "Shit!"
"Remind me not to come to you for parenting advice!" Franklin yelled from the hood of the car.
Michael chuckled a bit at this. "Hurry it up, kid. We still have one more person on the boat!" Michael informed Franklin.
"Yeah, yeah. I know." Franklin muttered as he got over the windshield and onto the passenger seat of the car, he then hopped from their toward the back seat sitting right next to Jimmy.
"Alright kid. Your turn." Michael yelled at Naruto.
Naruto only gave him a nod before he took a big jump and landed right in the passenger seat of the car.
"Ten out of ten!" Michael smiled a bit as Naruto adjusted himself onto the seat. "That everyone? Alright, time to get my boat back."
"This is getting really weird, pop." Jimmy spoke not liking the idea. Before anybody could give a response, they heard a nasty sound coming under the hood of the vehicle. "Ohhh, now that doesn't sound good.
"Damn, that's the engine, man. We ain't chasing shit in this thing." Franklin informed, apparently Michael didn't like the idea.
"No, no, no!" Michael muttered as he saw his boat getting further and further away from him to the point where he couldn't see it anymore. "Ahhh, my fucking boat."
Naruto was about to say something but Jimmy beat him to it.
"Hey... It's just a thing! At least you still got a son..." Jimmy reasoned but was afraid of how his father would act right now.
"My boat!"
"It's just a thing!"
"My boat!"
"Please stop doing that... Listen... I fucked up okay... I'm not going to lie. That was... a really bad judgement call... but... shit, Dad. I nearly died, and all you give a shit about is this fucking boat!" Jimmy yelled slightly heartbroken at how his father is acting. Sure he may not like his dad a lot, but it hurts to see a relative not giving a shit about you even if you guys don't get along.
Naruto would have said something to the both of them, but he couldn't find the right words as of now.
"No... It's not that... It's"
"All we do is scream at each other..." Jimmy interrupted. "... no wonder I can't get a job... it's all your fucking fault. Or, it's not.. but It's partly your fault. I... I mean. I just want to impress you."
"By selling my boat to some gangbangers?"
"I know it sounds dumb when you put it like that... but all you do id day dream and get angry."
"Look, I love you, Jimmy, but you're an asshole, and right now, with my boat disappearing over the horizon, that's all I could see..."
With that done and said, Michael officially ended this conversation/argument with his son. Franklin looked at the two not knowing what to say, he doesn't know the relationship between Michael and his family, but he's not exactly at the position to ask him. Naruto could only sit back and hear this argument happening between Father and Son, he would have said something a long time before this argument happened. But what would he say? What would he do? He doesn't know how far distant Michael and his family became. Just by this very moment, this very second, he could tell that they indeed changed more than he knew them nine years ago. The only question remaining in his head was, 'Can he fix it?'
"Hey, there's a chop shop back there, dawg. You drive us there, we can get the ride fixed." Franklin stated referring to the Los Santos Customs, luckily Michael knew what Franklin was saying and started to head towards there.
"Franklin, Naruto, would you two do me a favor and give this kid a ride home after they've fixed this thing? I want to headbutt the road in peace."
"We'll get it done, dawg. No problem." Franklin replied
"Thank's kid. Hey do me a favor and call me a taxi. Will you?"
"No problem." Franklin pulled out his phone and started to dial the number while Naruto and Michael had a conversation of their own.
"So, Michael. Is this really how you guys turned out."
"Yeah, kid. I hate to admit it but this is us. The real us right now. Ever since that day, that very day, had changed us."
"But you guys can still change back to the way you used to, right?"
Michael gave a long sigh before he wiped his face. "I don't know kid, I don't know."
"Hey, this the place up here. Me and Naruto know this dude, man. His name is Hao. He goin' look after us until the ride is fixed.
"Alright, take what's in my pocket - a couple thousand bucks. That'll cover it, right?" Michael reached in his pocket and gave the money he had on him to Naruto
"Yeah, I think that'll cover it." Naruto spoke once he grabbed the money.
"Good." Michael spoke a little relieved. He then went and parked right outside of the gate before getting out of Amanda's car. "Are you sure you guys are fine."
"Yeah, don't worry Michael. I've been doing this for quite a while." Naruto spoke confidently as he scooted to the driver side while Franklin hopped over to the passenger side.
"Alright, just checking."
"Hey, Michael. I'll drop this off at your house once we get the car fixed alright. Go take this time to enjoy yourself for the moment." Naruto reasoned, he then saw Michael wave his hand passed him which he had to presume it was the taxi Franklin called up.
"Alright, listen thanks for today Naruto, you too kid I appreciate it. If you guys like, stop back out to the house and we'll talk." Michael then turned and walked to the taxi that pulled up behind Amanda's car.
"Fo sho' man. Hey, sorry we didn't get yo boat." Franklin yelled towards Michael as he entered the taxi, Michael responded to him by waving his hand to him before he entered the cab and have it drive off to who knows where.
"Yeah, alright. Let's trick this whip, homie!" Jimmy grew excited that he might actually get to help tune up a vehicle.
"Yeah, not gonna happen Jimmy. This is your moms car so we're not gonna change it into anything she doesn't want." Naruto laughed a bit as he started the car and drove towards the Lost Santo's garage entrance
"Aw come one Naruto. This'll be fun." Jimmy whined a bit
"Maybe some other time." With that done and said, Naruto beeped the horn letting the people inside know that there are customers outside waiting for them to open the garage. once the garage opened, Naruto drove Amanda's car into LS Customs where they then spotted their other asian friend, Hao.
"Hao, my nigga. Ey how ya been?" Franklin spoke as he got out of the car and walked over to him.
"I'm doin good Frank." Hao smiled as they both clapped their hands against each other. He then heard someone else come out of the vehicle that was in his shop, turning towards the person who just got out, he couldn't help but smile as he saw one of his other friends that was recently gone for a while. 'Naruto! It's so good to see you again brutha!"
Naruto widened his arms apart as he and Hao hugged and patted each others back. "You too Hao. Sorry I didn't notify any of you guys that I would be gone for a while."
"Nah, it's all good man. Shit, I would have probably done the same thing too." Hao and Naruto laughed at this. "So, I'm guessing you guys didn't come all the way here just to say hello."
"Yeah that's right, dawg. We just came here to see if you can fix the engine in this ride here." Franklin pointed toward the vehicle Jimmy was stlll sitting at.
Noticing the other person in his shop that he was not familiar with he started to raise suspicion. "Hey, who's the kid?"
"I'm not a kid, man. I'm 23 years old for christ sake." Jimmy spoke a little offended on being called a child.
"You're still a kid to me with that bloated belly of yours. Including your clothes man. They ain't to bad but they are surely not my taste in style."
Hearing this, Jimmy looked down toward himself. "What's wrong with the way I dress?"
"Alright enough, Hao. We didn't come here to start some unwanted scene. Can you just see if you can fix the engine?" Naruto stepped in just in case things started to go down south with Hao and Jimmy.
"Yeah, no problem. Pop the hood up, let me take a look." Hao stated. Once he heard the hood pop open he lifted it up only to be greeted by smoke that just suddenly blew from the engine. Naruto, Hao, and Franklin coughed a bit on breathing in some of the smoke. Soon eventually, the smoke cleared off leaving the three to re-breath some fresh air. "Man.." *Cough* "You guys really fucked up the engine. What did you two do to it that suddenly did this sort of damage."
Hao leaned on the vehicle as he looked over the engine.
"Ha, we were helping one of Naruto's old friends on taking back his hijacked boat. We couldn't reclaim it though once the engine blew out, man." Franklin responded to the question.
"So you think you can fix it?" Naruto asked
"Think I can fix it?" Hao, chuckled a bit. "I don't think I can fix it. I know I can, or if you guys like I could give you a new one instead. I just had the same type of engine like this shipped to me last week."
Naruto looked at Franklin wondering if what he should do.
"Don't look at me, dawg. It's your friends ride." Franklin raised his hand at Naruto's questioning gaze.
Naruto thought about it for a second before he coming to a conclusion. "You know what. Yeah. Replace the engine man. In my opinion, it's best to get a new engine when you get the chance rather than repairing one that might break down again."
"Haha, that's true Ruto." Hao spoke as he got his tools assembled. "Oh, and that'll be $2,000 dollars." He smiled a bit as he went and grabbed his engine hoist and started to drag it toward the area the new engine will be located at.
"Cash or check!?" Naruto yelled as he watch Hao disappear around the corner.
"Cash!" He heard him yell back.
Naruto smiled before he turned and headed to where Jimmy was at. He soon spotted him outside LS Customs as he was playing on his phone. "Jimmy!"
"Naruto!?" Jimmy slightly yelled as he jumped a bit from Naruto's unexpected arrival. "What are you doing here? I thought you were still with your two other buddys."
"Nah, Jimmy. Hao just started to fix your moms car and Franklin looks like he's gonna help Hao." Naruto leaned against a wall next to him.
"But, that doesn't explain why you're still here." Jimmy again asked.
Naruto gave a long sigh before continuing "Well, you know that time when you and your old man were arguing a moment ago?" He leaned his head up so his eyes were looking at the sky as well as placing a foot on the wall.
"Yeah. What about it?
"What was that all about. I know you guys don't get along like you used to, that includes your entire family."
Jimmy gave a sigh before he started to explain. "I honestly don't know Naruto. Ever since we thought you were dead, things have never been the same. Sure we all mourned your 'death' together when we went to your funeral, but ever since then my family and I started to get into constant arguments and fights with each other all the time. Since that day, things have took a sudden turn for us that I wasn't... that we weren't prepared for. I don't know. We've been holding grudges against each other and we still do, but... I don't know man."
Naruto gave a loud sigh before he patted Jimmy's back. "It's alright, none of you guys are at fault for this. It was just an unexpected event, that's all. One day, you'll guys will eventually go back to the way you used to be."
Jimmy smiled at Naruto's declaration. "The way we used to be? Huh. You know that's actually not a bad idea. I would do anything to go back to the way my family used to be."
"Sure you do Jim, sure you do." Naruto smiled before he started to walk away. Before he was completely gone he stopped in his tracks. "Oh yeah, before I forget, here, catch!"
"Hmm?" Jimmy turned just in time to catch a stack of cash that flew in his way. He stared at the stack of money in his hands as he began to count it. "Woah, Naruto where did you get this?"
"I'm rich Jimmy. I have a lot of money that I don't use anyway so I usually give it to those in need." Naruto smiled at Jimmy's utter surprise. "Oh, and give this back to your old man too."
Jimmy suddenly caught another stack of cash that was thrown to him, looking the stack he received, h knew this wasn't Naruto's money, it was Michael's money. He knew it was Michael's money because his dad is the only person he knows that would put a mark on his cash, and this stack had that very same mark. "W-Why are you giving this to me? Why not my dad?"
"Because, I think it's best you give this to him. Who knows, maybe it might just help begin fixing your relationship with him.." With that said, Naruto turned and started to walk away from Jimmy.
Jimmy stared at Naruto before he then whispered to himself as he smiled. "Naruto, thank you."
"Alright, that should do it." Hao closed the hood, letting the others know he was done with the vehicle "She's ready to go back onto the streets again boys."
Naruto, Franklin and Jimmy entered the vehicle before Hao tossed Naruto the keys for the car. As soon as Naruto caught the keys, he inserted it before twisting it allowing the car to be revived with a new engine.
"Nice." Jimmy spoke loving the sound his mom's car made once it turned on.
"Thanks Hao. Appreciate it." Naruto tossed the cash toward his friend before he started to exit the shop with the vehicle.
"No problem Ruto. What are friends for?" Hao replied as he watched them exit his shop.
"Hey see you later, dawg! Thanks for the help!" Franklin turned and yelled to Hao before they were back on the streets. The last thing Franklin saw was Hao waving at them before he turned and went back into his shop.
"So, what now?" Jimmy asked from the back of the car.
"Well, me and Ruto are just gonna drop yourself and the ride back at yo house, man." Franklin responded before Naruto could.
"Oh... Franklin was it?" Jimmy spoke trying to start a conversation.
"Yeah, Franklin. Or the credit fraud guy, the home invader, you know what call me what you like, man."
"Hey, in my defense I didn't say you were a home invader."
"Yeah, but you were thinking it weren't you."
"Yeah... sorry." Jimmy laughed awkwardly, looking a little nervous.
"Nah, it's alright. Jimmy, ain't it? Or James?" Franklin spoke trying to ease up Jimmy's nervousness. He might not know him, but his friend sure does. So it might not be to bad to know a few people that his friend knows.
"Uh huh, Jimmy. Or just like... Jizzle?" Jimmy spoke not knowing what he was talking about.
Naruto and Franklin both laughed at this, catching on to what Jimmy just called himself. It might be amusing to them, but to Franklin, well, Jimmy just scored a few points with him.
"Nah man, I'll just stick with Jimmy, homie. It suits you." Franklin spoke as he still was laughing a bit.
"So, uhh, what's the deal man." Jimmy said, trying to change the subject. "You and my old man. I see you at the dealership. Then someone steals my whip. And Pop is all like, he's been down there to talk to you guys." Jimmy spoke trying to sound all tight and gangsta like.
"Yo pops did more than talk." Franklin spoke as he recalled what Michael did to Simeon and his dealership.
"What he do?" Jimmy stared at him confusingly. His dad didn't tell him much on what happened to his SUV, but he knew there was more to it. And Franklin here knew exactly what happened.
"Look man, if he ain't tell you. I ain't gonna tell you. But I lost my fuckin' job and I thought maybe he could help me find a new one."
"Dude, my dad is retired. Like, fully. His only marketable skills are watching TV and daytime drinking."
*Sigh* "Man, look, I dunno homie, he seems okay to me. Shit he saved yo ass." Franklin spoke knowing that there was more to Michael than there is to it.
"You and Naruto saved my ass." Jimmy said wanting to give credit to the both of them.
"Nah, nah, man. Well. Well, maybe us three are good together. Like, maybe we can get shit done we couldn't do separately." Franklin thought if Naruto, Michael, and himself started to work with one another then maybe they can pull something off. Shit, they almost had the boat, they would have had it too if the engine didn't fuck with them.
"If it keeps him calm and relaxed, then that's cool by me."
Naruto smiled at this as he kept driving, it just shows that Jimmy still has hope for his dad. Hope for reuniting into the people they once were. They just need a push in the right direction, at the same exact time. The same goes for Tracey and Amanda.
"Yeah, well, we'll see." Franklin continued
Jimmy all of a sudden started to look a little guilty. "Look, man. I'm sorry my dad lost you your job. It's hard out there. Tough. I mean I'm employmentally challenged at the moment."
"Oh, you got fired dude? Damn, that's rough." Franklin said knowing where he was coming from.
"Wait, you had a job?' Naruto asked confusingly.
"No, no, I didn't get fired as such. I didn't get a job."
"I've been there, homie. You been putting them resumes out there, but no one is hiring, huh?" Franklin interrupted.
"No, I didn't get a job. I never had a job." Jimmy responded.
"Excuse me?" Naruto raised his eyebrow.
"I-it just feels like hard work, life. The days just kind of disappear, you know. Hey, you guys play righteous slaughter?"
"Nah, not since the first couple." Franklin replied, crushing Jimmy's spirits a bit.
"I still have copy's of them but I never played them anymore. If you like I could give them to you when I come over again." Naruto stated.
"Wow, really? Thanks Naruto. You're the best." Jimmy spoke happily as he thought about one of his favorite games out there.
After a few more minutes of driving, Naruto finally arrived back at the De Santa residence.
"Hey, so since we're both like, unemployed, we could run together, you know." Jimmy spoke to Franklin a little excited as they got out the car.
"Pssh, I don't know man, I'll think about." Franklin and Naruto looked at each other before looking back at Jimmy.
"Yo, or, we could just, like, chop it, y'know? Play darts or get our drink on? Strip Clubs?" Jimmy spoke throwing out all these random ideas a lot of adults in Los Santos do in these days. "Come on man I get real crazy. We could even invite Naruto over. Right Naruto?" Jimmy looked at his blonde friend since he was a kid.
"Ha, yeah. Maybe one day." Naruto sat on the trunk of Amanda's car. Jimmy pumped his fists in success once he heard this.
"Yeah, I got your number should I need it, man. Hey-hey, you know what? Man, go easy on yo pops, dawg, alright?"
"Alright, church." Jimmy suggested thinking Franklin meant taking him to church or something like that.
"Pfft, exactly man" With that said, Jimmy walked into his house as Franklin went up to Naruto. "Hey yo, I'll catch you tomorrow, man. Today was just crazy."
Naruto and Franklin clapped each others hands before patting each others backs. "Yeah, I get it. See you tomorrow, man."
Franklin nodded before he exited the De Santa residence, entered his white buffalo, and drove off.
Naruto looked back at Michael's house wondering what he should do right now. Shrugging his shoulders he turned and started to walk away from the house before entering his Zentorno. He never noticed Tracey smiling at him from the window as she watched him drive off.
Turning around she looked at a picture she never thought she would put in her room again. It was a picture of a younger Naruto and herself smiling at each other as she rested her head upon his shoulder.
And done.
Love it? Hate it? Leave a review down below.
Feedback would be nice.
I would have added more in this chapter, like one more mission, but it was pretty much getting too long so I stopped it here.
I have to say, at first I kind of regretted posting this story because I didn't know if I could balance the two story's on when one should be updated, but then I soon loved this choice I made.
Anyway, I don't really have anything to say other than your opinions on the girls. If I get asked multiple times by multiple people on removing anyone of these girls, then I will set up a poll so you guys can go and vote.
Anyway, thank you all for reading
And as always,
I will see you...
In the next chapter.
BUH-BYE
