Chapter 1
Broken
C.J. lie in bed with his girlfriend Denise. Its been a week since his brother's death and he hasn't slept since. Not having the courage to see his dead brother, he failed to arrive at his brother's funeral which was two days ago. Not feeling the need to stay in bed, he got up and put on his clothes.
"C.J. where are you going?" Asked Denise. The sound of him getting out of bed woke her up.
"Im going out. Don't wait up on me."Answered C.J.
"Don't worry. I never do." Snapped Denise.
C.J. reached over to Denise and gave her an intimate kiss.
"Im sorry. I just got a lot of shit to take care of. You know how it is."Denise nodded In agreement. C.J. took a large wad of cash from his pocket and put it on the drawer next to the bed.
"I'll be back in two days alright?"
"Ok.". Said Denise
C.J. buttoned up his shirt and left out the house. Carl wanted to find the people responsible for his brother's death, but with no leads, there was no possible way. C.J. entered in his car, a black Super GT, and headed deeper into Los Santos. While Stopping at a red light, his cell phone rang.
"Hello? Carl its Woozie. I have information on the people responsible for the shooting."
"Who! Who is it.?" Yelled C.J.
"Come to Chinatown In San Fierro, and ill give you the details. Later C.J."
Hanging up the phone, C.J. stepped on the gas of his car, drove past the red light, and sped off.
Later that day...
"It's the Leone Family. They're the ones behind the whole shooting. I received a letter today from their leader saying that I, along with the Mountain Cloud boys, were soon going to be extinct. They've come back from Liberty City and reclaimed the Caligula's Casino." Said Woozie
"What? I thought that Salvatore was dead. It was reported on the news some time ago that he had been assassinated in Liberty City."Said C.J.
"In the cartel, when a person dies or retires, the heir, or second in command takes that persons place. So that must mean that Salvatore has a son or someone to take his place as leader." Said Woozie.
"So that must mean...Joey! That son of a bitch." Said C.J. slamming his fist on the table.
"You know him?"Asked Woozie.
"Yeah. I used to work for him when I was back in Liberty." Said C.J.
"Oh and C.J., the letter also said that my little black friend was dead as well. Im assuming that it is you that he was talking about."
Carl clenched his fist and broke his drinking glass. "Now that I know who killed my brother, Im gonna head over to Las Venturas and rip his fuckin heart out" Said C.J. angrily.
"Don't be stupid C.J. If we're going to handle this, we're gonna have to do this the right way. I suggest that you get your sister on a flight out of San Andreas as soon as possible." Said Woozie.
"You're right. I can't lose her. She's all the family I have left." Carl took his cell phone and dialed Caesar's number. After a couple of rings, he finally picked up.
"Hello?" Asked Caesar.
"Caesar its Carl. Where's Kendl?"
. "She's here At the house with me. Is there something wrong?" Asked Caesar. To show his love and commitment to Kendl, Caesar gave up his position with his gang, the Vagos, and moved to San Fierro. There, they got engaged, and Kendl got pregnant. C.J. gives him much respect, and treats him as if he was his own brother.
"Yeah. Its important that I talk to her. Im coming over." C.J. hung up his cell phone. "Alright Woozie thanks for the info. Ill see you later."
"Alright then. I'll see...I mean ill speak to you later." Said Woozie.
C.J. left out of Woozie's building and entered in his car. When he was inside the driver's seat, he started punching the steering wheel out of anger. "That stupid son of a bitch. When I get my hands on him Im gonna rip out his throat." C.J. started the engine to his vehicle and headed to Caesar house.
After several minutes of driving, C.J. finally reaches Caesar and Kendl's house. Even though Caesar gave up being in a gang, he still did jobs along with C.J. Their work isn't honest but it pays the bills. Carl went to the front door and rang the doorbell. Caesar immediately opened the door.
"Come in." Said Caesar.
Walking inside, he immediately saw Kendl.
"C.J. hey its good to see you. Come and sit down." Said Kendl.
The inside of the house was well decorated with vases and statues. They even had a large pool in their backyard.Carl sat at a couch in front of where Caesar and Kendl sat at.
"I came here because I need for you to do something Kendl. You may not want to but its for the best." Said Carl
"What is it Carl?" Asked Kendl.
"Im gonna have to ask you to pack up your things and leave San Andreas."
Both Kendl and Caesar had the same look as if they had seen a ghost. "What! What are you talking about C.J.?"Asked Kendl.
"You're in danger and if you don't leave soon, you'll be dead by the end of the week."
"No! No! Im not going anywhere! San Andreas is my home. Im finally getting the life that I want to live and you're telling me that I have to leave it all? Fuck you!" Screamed Kendl
Kendl rose up out of the couch and walked off, but C.J. quickly followed her.
"Kendl, do you understand what I just said? People want us dead Kendl. They want us dead! Do you want to end up like Sweet huh! Our brother is lying up in his grave with bullet holes in his chest.! Do you want that for yourself? Do you want that for your baby huh!" Yelled C.J.
C.J. grabbed Kendl by the arms and shook her. Kendl pushed him away.
"When I finally want something good for myself, I have to leave it all?"
Kendl ran down her hallway and into one of the other rooms. C.J. could hear her loud sobs.
Caesar came up from his seat and walked to C.J. "Let me go and try to speak to her."
Caesar walked down the hallway and into the room where Kendl ran into. C.J. could hear Kendl screaming and yelling while Caesar kept a low tone. After a couple of minutes Caesar walked out rubbing his face. He had a huge red bruise that had the shape of a hand print.
"She understands." Said Caesar.
"Good." Said C.J.
"I also told her that Im staying here and that she'll have to go alone." Said Caesar.
"Why'd you say that? Asked C.J.
"Because im going to help you kill the people responsible. No one is going to put my woman in danger." Said Caesar.
"Thanks man. I appreciate it. I think I ought to leave you two alone. C.J. walked out of the house and into his car.
"I may have lost almost everyone in my family, but I won't lose Kendl. I swear it." C.J. started up his engine and drove off.
Meanwhile
Dan opened his eyes and saw a bright light. Waking up, he found himself lying inside a medical bed with an oxygen mask on his face and an IV strapped to his arm. He couldn't move around too much, because he was very weak. It didn't take long for him to notice that he was in a hospital. Looking around the room, he saw balloons and flowers with cards saying get well soon. Also in the room was one of his friends sitting in a chair fast asleep.
"Ray." He whispered. No answer. Dan took off the oxygen mask and spoke a little louder "Ray". His friend opened his eyes and quickly got up.
"Dan, are you okay? Man I thought you were a goner." Said Ray.
"What's going on? Where am I and where is Sylvia?" Asked Dan.
Dan could see the tears welling up in Ray's eyes.
"You don't remember?"Asked Ray
"Remember what?"
"There was a big shootout in Las Venturas near the Four Dragons Casino. I got a call saying that you and your wife were shot. They bought you to the hospital in critical condition.When Sylvia was bought in she was labeled as DOA."
Dan started to remember. He remembered walking with his wife to go to Shopping in Las Venturas.. He remembered see some men dressed in black with guns. Loud gunfire erupted from all around him and his wife. He remembered getting hit and falling next to Sylvia.
"Where is she! Where is Sylvia!" He shouted.
"She didn't make it Dan. Neither did her baby. Her parents requested that they send her body back to her home in Liberty. I heard that her funeral was yesterday."
"No No!"
Dan sat up and removed the machines that were hooked to him. He pulled the breather out of his nose and yanked out the IV needle in his arm. Next, he tried to move himself out of the hospital bed. Ray ran and held him down.
"No Dan. You're still in intensive care." Said Ray.
Dan continued to struggle and get up.
"I need help! Somebody help!" Shouted Ray.
3 doctors came in to help keep Dan in the bed. One doctor took a syringe filled with a sedative and injected it into his arm. "Im sorry Dan." Said Ray. Sedated, Dan relaxed and fell asleep.
6 hours later...
Dan woke up in the hospital bed and this time it was dark and empty inside the room.
"Good. Now its time to get the fuck out of here."
Dan once again removed all the medical equipment and slowly got up. Once his feet touched the floor he lifted himself out of the bed only to end up on the floor. He regained his balance and steadily stood up. Getting back on his feet was extremely painful, but he wouldn't give up.
He slowly crept out of the room and walked down the hallway. Creeping around the corner, He spotted a male doctor go into the bathroom. He slowly and silently followed him. Opening the door, Dan could see the man using one of the stalls. He quietly waited until he was finished , and when the doctor walked out the stall, Dan knocked him out with a left hook to his face. Dan took his clothes and the car keys out of his pocket and headed towards the exit out of the hospital.
