Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
Days Later
A few days of tit-for-tat warfare in Saints Row had reached a breaking point. The winning faction is the Saints thanks to the main contributions of two of its newest street soldiers.
The first was Kate who's gotten the nickname 'Playa' lately, doing some impressive work down the Harrowgate neighborhood that was supposed to be Westside Rollerz control. She turned it into a shooting range for anyone wearing blue, making it an impossible place to do business, especially in regards to pimping, where every Rollerz-affiliated street pimp was now either dead or pushed out - leaving only a few like Will to be left to operate on their turf.
Then there was the second soldier who had cleaned out another neighborhood -Athos Bay
Somehow, the neighborhood that was only a block size of Harrowgate had more dead gang members in the past few days than anywhere else in the Row, with foot soldiers and lieutenants, burned cars and ambulances, Athos Bay went through a cleanup from Los Carnales influence in a way that not even Troy was expecting.
Speaking of Troy, he was walking down the streets of the recently retaken territory of Athos Bay, which yet had to be full of purple-wearing people, given the bay had first responders all over the place.
The vans of the coroner's and police patrol units were at the abandoned liquor store, still pulling out body bags from the building with stretchers.
He took a drag from his cigarette as he walked down an alley that looked empty except for a rusty Cavallaro parked there.
The ride's lights turned on, causing Troy to shield his eyes for a moment so as not to get blinded.
"Hey, Troy."
"Jesus, man, trying to blind me?" Troy complained, not in the mood, "Turn it off before I write it as an assault."
The headlights were turned off before Troy walked up to the passenger's seat opened the door and proceeded to sit in the seat. The driver was a tanned-skinned person who was wearing baggy black pants with a lot of pockets, a black hoodie covering his head, and some white/black sneakers.
"Alright, good to see you've made it."
"Yeah yeah, but could've you gotten a better spot to meet up?" The driver said waving his hand over his nose. "The smell…"
"Huh? I thought you smoked?"
"Not the cigarette, I mean the fucking corpses, man." The driver clarified what stench he was referring to, "Shit, did they just discover the damn bodies? I can smell them from here."
"They have actually, someone from the neighborhood happened to walk inside the place and called the cops only a few hours ago," Troy answered.
"So this is normal for Stilwater?"
"Given we are outgunned, outmanned, budget cuts and a crooked Chief of Police, it could be worse," Troy explained before turning to the driver, "But that's not what I pay my informant for, what you got?"
"Whatever, Officer Bradshaw."
Revealing now, one of the Third Street Saints top lieutenants was a cop, and not just some cop - an undercover one, like one who's full deep - and given he managed to get himself into the inner circle of Stilwater's 4th largest gang in the city. It would be considered a success that many cops wish they could have.
"Alright man, first, I haven't been your informant in years now, second, what made you drag me back to this city?" The hoodie person asked, "I haven't been in this city for years now…"
"I'll keep it short, I need some info." Troy said pulling out a picture, and handing it over to him, "Can you dig up something on this guy?"
The picture the driver was given - was of Naruto Uzumaki.
"Wait…I know him."
"You do?" Troy asked, "Like what?"
"He's a Stilwater native like the both of us, but I cannot tell much now," The driver said taking the picture and examining it before it disappeared into his pocket, "I've seen him at the recruitment office a couple of years back so I might have a file on him."
"Alright, I appreciate it." Troy said about to get out of the car, "I'll stay in touch."
"Troy."
The undercover cop turned back, "What?"
"If this is the guy, you can consider your gang to be lucky…"
"Why so?"
"He's got stories following him…"
Meanwhile
The Projects
Shivington, one of the roughest neighborhoods that were in the Projects District was home to several high-rises, dirty streets, and a lot of poor housing. It was also home to many gang members, mainly from the Vice Kings with Sunnyvale Gardens only a few blocks away.
Yet not all gang members from Shivington were VK's, not in Naruto's case who was a native of this neighborhood and was seen walking down the streets, wearing not his colors but still a change of clothes that he needed. That included some jeans and orange sneakers with a brown jacket with a white shirt underneath it with the final touch being a black-and-orange headband he wore.
There must've been a good reason why a newly canonized Saint like him was walking down the streets of VK territory, with that being the bar he was stopping in front of - one that lay in the center of Shivington - a bar called Angelo's Place.
Opening the door, Naruto walked inside to see the place was packed with people. Mainly locals used this bar as their social hangout, bringing their dates or just coming with friends for the good drinks. It also was the spot for a different type of crowd, the type that came here for business.
And that was what Naruto was here for as he sat down at an empty table on his own with a waiter already making his way to him.
"Hello sir, can I take your order?"
"Just a water." Naruto ordered whilst grabbing for the table's newspaper he started to open it, "Oh, and something else please."
"Of course, what is it?"
"Tell Marcel I wish to speak to him - he'll know who it is."
The request that the young waiter got caused him to give a confused look before he walked into the back of the bar, Naruto saw him talk to the bartender, informing him of what he was told and walking back into the back kitchen.
Knowing it would take a while, Naruto read the first page to pass some time and found himself nothing much to read but the usual local news like gang violence, police, the decay of the city, and the upcoming mayoral election between incumbent Marshall Winslow and his opponent Alderman Hughes.
"Welcome home."
Lowering down the paper, Naruto was approached by an African American young man with dark hair with shaved side swipes wearing a pair of black rimless glasses, and a light brown collared leather jacket under a dark brown collared shirt. Who with a bottle of beer in one hand and a glass of water in another, but with a full-on smirk on his face.
"Naruto…"
"Marcel, you've grown."
…
Half an hour in, the two were sitting at the table and started their little unplanned reunion, with the younger bar owner more than happy to talk about a variety of subjects.
"Man, you do not know how happy I am seeing you back in Stilwater, Naruto." Marcel said not holding back while finishing his drink, "The others also would be glad to see you."
"Oh, like who?" Naruto asked while having himself getting served some ramen in a bowl, "I've been gone for a long while ever since I signed up for Uncle Sam."
"Everyone from the neighborhood, of course." Marcel said beginning to name a few, "Sam you might remember, Rico, Dennis, Reno, Tyrell, Miguel, and Jen…"
"I heard about Miguel, is it true?" Naruto brought up that one name, looking serious as he asked, "About that cop…"
Marcel could only confirm it with a nod, "Punk cop caught him and broke his spine up in multiple spots…"
"And he now…"
"The only thing he's driving is his automatic wheelchair." Marcel told him with an assuring tone, "That cop however continues to drive a patrol car across VK territory now these days. With no punishment, of course."
Typical, there was a reason why this city's crime problem looked out of control and it wasn't just the poverty rate for example - the fault also lay with the Stilwater Police Department which had a reputation of its own with its police brutality, the death rate among officers in firefights against local gangs and the massive allegations of corruption that reached even to the Police Commissioner himself - Chief Monroe.
"That cop most likely is working for Monroe's posse that is in cahoots with the Vice Kings, no doubt." Marcel mentioned while taking another sip from his drink, "That asshole commissioner can claim he's fighting gangs all he wants, but everyone in this city with half a brain knows he's getting dirty money."
Naruto agreed to that and just happened to notice that the entrance door opened, with three men and one woman, all wearing brown and yellow clothing with some wearing gang bandanas, entered the bar and spotted the blond at the table.
At that moment a short moment was experienced where the Vice Kings were staring at the Saint, with them looking between each other and whispering in silence.
Unknown what both parties were about to do, those inside the bar who were neutral began to stand up in fear a confrontation would be started…
"Waiter." It was Naruto who raised his hand and began the word. "Whatever they order, I'll pay. It's on me."
…
"..Thanks…" The leading VK, a big black guy with a brown jacket and a yellow bandana around his neck said and nodded off.
Naruto gave a simple nod as the group began making their way through the bar, with some giving the blond a few glances before they went off to the far end, easing the tension in the room.
"Must be people from the Projects."
"Shivington, to be exact. They know you," Marcel stated while observing the gang members before turning back to his friend, "Everyone heard about what you did overseas…"
"I did just what I had to…" Naruto replied humbled and then asked, "You mentioned Miguel and the others, they still in Stilwater?"
"They are, Reno and Rico running clubs, Sam trying to start up his own thing." Marcel mentioned what they were up to, "Tyrell is organizing races across town with Libby and Lorenzo…"
"Ah, little Lorenzo, cannot forget about him," Naruto beamed knowing the nervous guy, "He still not ready to come out of the closet?"
"He's still afraid, I can understand him." Marcel said before mentioning, "For the girls…well, not girls anymore, they are ladies."
"You mentioned Libby and Jen," Naruto noted while grabbing his drink, "What about the others?"
"Word on the street is you and Little Kate reunited?" Marcel cited what he heard, "By joining the 3rd Street Saints…"
Naruto stopped drinking from his glass and slowly put it on the table, staring at his friend.
"So you know…"
"That was the first thing everyone in this bar heard, and those Kings who walked in also knew, that's the reason why they were hesitant at seeing you." Marcel told him and then leaned forward, "We also heard what you did to the Carnales in Athos Bay, it was not a pretty sight."
"Well, you know me - I never like the Carnales to begin with," Naruto leaned in forward and also started, "Anyway, I need a favor, Marcel."
"Go on…"
"I need some firepower…
Next Morning
Saint's Row
Waiting at the church's parking lot, Kate was by herself. Seen in her new getup that she wore now, which was simple but more colorful.
A white and purple sneakers and some socks that were white with purple stripes, however, those could not be seen by the long blue baggy pants she wore and the purple and black jacket that hid her curves looking body as she had her red ginger hair in a single ponytail.
Why was she wearing so much? Well even when she was doing so, she was still nervous about being part of this gang life, having even considered shutting up entirely given she was still trying to fit in, standing alone with these colors made her nervous on the inside.
She felt more confident with him around…
"Kate."
As she turned and smiled in relief, she saw Naruto approaching her. He was wearing a simple white T-shirt, an open gray jacket, and a purple bandana hanging off his pants, with cargo pants and boots, and approached the little sister's figure with a waving hand.
"M-Morning Naruto." Kate slurred her words, seeing the shirt was hugging Naruto's torso, she was glad she learned to hide her blush as she asked, "Where were you? You didn't come home last night…"
"I was at a friend's place, don't worry about it." Naruto told her and noticed her getup and smiled, "Nice clothing, where did you buy it?"
"Oh, this? Sloppy Seconds just outside the Row," Kate mentioned before asking, "Say, did Julius call you in too? Something about finishing this all."
"Perhaps it got to do with the work we've been putting in the last few days, it has gotten hectic." Naruto brought up, bringing them up to her, "Speaking of which, I heard that you've been bleeding Harrowgate dry."
"Oh, you mean me working with Will?"
"Yes, apparently you pushed all the Rollerz-affiliated pimps and foot soldiers out."
Naruto said, quietly impressed by her performance, "You've only been in this gang thing for less than a week and you already building up a reputation."
"Oh that was nothing, just shooting assholes and bringing girls to Will," Kate said humbly before she then pulled out from her pocket, "I didn't however expect the money…"
Holding a full money clip with cash, it must've been around five hundred she was holding. More than she ever thought she could make it in a normal job, it was still a surprise to the girl.
"I got around two thousand dollars in total, including what I stole from those assholes I took out," Kate told him while showing him the cash, "I decided to buy some new clothes and do some house payments, you know…"
It was then that Julius and Troy were seen coming out of the Church.
Naruto noted to her, "Here they come."
Troy was the first to reach them and told them right there, "I got a tip that there's a turf war going on right now. If we crash their party, we can take all those sons of bitches out at once."
All then made their way to an SUV Aqua that was parked across the street, all four crossed the street with Naruto not hesitating to ask questions.
"Mind giving more details on what we're getting ourselves into?" Naruto went for the shotgun seat with Kate being given the keys, "Better be prepared beforehand, don't you think?"
"Agreed, but this is Troy's intel, so he'll inform you about it while we're on our way." Julius said while preparing his pistol and giving the word, "Troy, tell."
The SUV's engine started with Kate driving towards Harrowgate by going through an underpass, all while the details of this gang war were being told by Julius' Lieutenant.
"From what I know the remaining Rollerz who weren't killed or left Harrowgate tried to regroup at the docks after they got their assess kicked by the kid who was driving, but the LC survivors of Athos Bay also had that plan, and the location."
"Okay…what a coincidence," Kate commented, "who else?"
"I also got word Vice Kings threw themselves into the fight, but for why I don't know." Troy mentioned, "Mostly they are low-ranking lieutenants with foot soldiers trying to prove themselves, so don't expect heavy guns there."
"Do we know how many?"
"I'd guess from a few dozen to around fifty, that's why we got some of the others of my crew going there already, keeping them busy until we come in to clean it all up." Troy's numbers of guessing were high, "I ain't gonna lie to you, when we go in there it's gonna get rough…"
"Hope you're strapped, playa, 'cause we're about to go in hard." Julius didn't give them any illusions. "This is going to be messy."
*Click!*
The two Saints in the back heard that loud sound and saw it come from Naruto's lap, and to their surprise, they saw him assembling a rifle out of nowhere.
"Hold up, that's an-"
"AR-40 with an extended magazine," Naruto said while he was putting the butt of the rifle in, "I wanted the GAL 43, but my man gave it as a surprise."
"Julius, you sure it's cool we take them instead of Johnny?"
"Troy, you worry too much, the kids will be fine."
The journey to the docks passed without further conversation, and the moment they arrived at Harrowgate, shots were heard from where they were.
The sound of relentless gunfire became louder the more the car got closer to the docks, with civilians seen running away from the area, and a few Saints seen running towards the fight.
Then the car entered through one of the entrances of the Harrowgate docks, where a gunfight was ensuing between a few Carneles who were firing back against a bunch of Rollerz, not paying attention to the arriving third party
"We're there," Naruto said pulling out a NR4 out from underneath his jacket, "Kate, take this."
"Thanks."
The four got out of the car as they still were not noticed, Julius took the lead by stepping up forward just then when a couple of Saints foot soldiers happened to join up with them.
"Don't worry playas, you stick with Troy and me you'll be fine." Julius told them and patted Naruto on the back, "You take these two, Troy and I will go with Kate here…"
"Alright, let's go!"
The two groups split up fast with gunfire erupting now from the third party, catching both the Rollerz and Carnales off guard as they now were forced to exchange gunfire with the Third Street Saints.
The first couple of Rollerz dropped dead to the ground by the immense amount of bullets unleashed on them, with the Carnales seen covering behind the empty crates and blue cars that getting shot up pretty quickly.
"Fire at the engines!" Naruto shouted, firing rapidly at the cars' engines and windows to keep them pinned down, "give them no breathing room!"
The two Saint foot soldiers tagging along with Naruto did so and fired their pistols sideways at the cars, pinning down the Carnales to where they couldn't stand up, with enough to keep them down for Naruto to maneuver around them and catch them.
"Shit, run-"
Naruto spared none after he caught three Carnales in his sight, putting the three red-wearing gang bangers down in mere seconds before they could react properly thus resulting in their quick deaths.
"Kid's a natural!"
Kate wasn't doing bad either as she went just in the fight with guns blazing, shooting two Rollerz to the ground while shooting another LC in the back who tried to retreat, with this dock cleaned up quickly.
"Run!" One LC member was running down towards the pass, "The Saints are here!"
"Kate, on me!" Naruto shouted while going in with his rifle aimed forward, "Cover my back!"
"On it!" Kate yelled back while catching up to her big brother figure, all while the other Saints watched in amazement.
Troy began, "Jules, I'm glad we found them…"
"Yeah, they don't fuck around." Julius agreed and noticed they were getting further without them, "Let's catch up with them before they drop all them muthafuckas for themselves."
Both Naruto and Kate continued to chase after the Carnales, dropping a few on their way with the surviving few seen covering behind some crates.
"Let's get them!"
Then a car pulled up from the Carnales' side, a red sedan La Fuerza that was coming towards the two Saints with the driver seen shooting from the seat.
Naruto went on the offensive and went tactical by firing down the windscreen, hood, and wheels, taking out the incoming ride that was taking fire fast, catching the driver off guard who took a quick turn to the right and crashed into a few boxes.
"Run! Run!"
The Carnales run scared with Kate tailing behind them with no hesitation, dropping even more people on her path.
Naruto on the other hand went over to the sedan and checked out the driver, who was covered in blood that was leaking from the head, looking fazed out because of the impact of the crash.
"What the fuck…"
*POP!
The Carnales' body fell down the seat with a bullet going through his head with the Vice 9 pistol he picked up from the ground that belonged to the driver.
"No survivors, Playa?"
Naruto turned around to see Julius approach him with the others and Troy running past them to try to join Kate, with the leader of the Saints coming up to him.
"End it quick and painless, better that than dying from blood loss." Naruto responded while putting the pistol away, "I've seen enough people dying in horrible ways when I was overseas."
"So you have?" Julius asked, questioning him, "You got a problem with killing?"
"I know my boundaries, and I try to keep them." Naruto said before grabbing for his rifle again and turning to the ensuing gunfire, "If you'd excuse me, I got to get to Kate."
Julius stayed behind and watched the blond with interest for a brief moment, having mentally taken a decision that might need some time to process before he proceeded to join the fight.
Meanwhile
In his office was Benjamin King as he was keeping tabs on the situation that was developing in Saint's Row, listening to Anthony 'Big Tony' Green's first reports through the intercom phone.
"So you sure about it?" King asked for certain, "We got no foothold in the Row anymore?"
'Sorry Mr. King, I am afraid that is not possible anymore. The crews who went in got either killed or wounded, Carnales, Rollerz, or them Third Streets. Last of my boys who went down the docks are losing numbers fast.'
"Warren's not going to be happy…" King stated and sighed, knowing those who went in were mainly his numbers' guys people who wanted to get some action, "What do you suggest?"
'Call back any guys who are nearby and lock our shit up, no need to lose more soldiers for the Row, we got our own turf to protect.'
"Agreed," King said standing by his right-hand man's idea, "Let us recoup our losses and observe our enemies, I'll see you later Anthony."
"Later, Mr. King."
The call ended just when a door slammed open, with one angry-looking yellow suit light-skinned black man entering, looking to start a rant, but also with him walked in a woman of also light skin and was wearing a revealing expensive lingerie with stockings and heels.
Both look angry with the two of them being the former rapper and now numbers guy Warren Williams, and the woman being Tanya who was the newly promoted lieutenant, and Tony's girlfriend who ran some of the illicit business down in the Red Light District.
"Warren, Tanya."
"Mr. King, why are my people dying in Saint's Row? And not in small numbers either!" Warren started angrily at his boss, "I just got word that these purple-wearing punks are dropping my people faster than they should've been-"
"That's because you didn't prepare them better, Warren. That's your stupid decision to make," Mr. King glared back at Warren, "What did you think that a couple of shooters and fast cars is all it takes to up against Julius Little?"
The wannabe third-rate gangster who was also a failed rapper, Warren was one of King's main causes of headaches. This man was is trying to prove himself to everyone in the Vice Kings, the neighborhood leaders, the lieutenants, and Mr. King himself.
He however failed multiple times and only found himself useful to Mr. King by acting as his legal front in the music business, like Kingdom Come Records, or running the sports betting games, something he was good at making money with.
"..."
"Well? No response? I didn't think so" Mr. King said, taking Warren's silence for an answer, "Besides that, your crew volunteered to go in, alongside some of Tanya's people from Prawn Court and Rebadeaux."
"Of whom I also came to talk about, like I lost contact with them?" Tanya took her turn to complain about the losses, "I called them just this morning and suddenly now they are all dead?"
"That's the life of being a gangster, Tanya," King responded calmly but sternly to the female lieutenant. "Just like I told Warren it is not easy to go up against Julius Little, not now he's got himself some new muscle."
"New Muscle?" Warren asked confused, "What are you talking about?"
"Someone who might be Anthony's level…"
Harrowgate Docks
At the last part of the docks, on the rooftops of one building stood a Saint, one of Johnny's people to be exact given he was carrying an RPG with him - and fired one rocket down to the parking lot.
*BOOM!*
One of the VK rides that just arrived was the unfortunate target that got obliterated by that shot, with only a few remaining Rollerz left on the rampage of the Saints, they too decided to make their last stance-
*Rapid gunfire!*
Those guys from the suburbs stood much of a chance neither with all three falling to the ground also, mowed down by Naruto's rifle that was now down to the last mag.
Then the sound of police sirens could be heard, meaning it was their time to bail.
"The cops are commin' man, we gotta lose 'em…"
"That's just the first units, they won't be dumb, Troy," Kate said, not lowering her weapon until she spotted a bright yellow Zomkhah, "Julius?"
"You drive, we cover." Julius said as he walks over to the car and ordered, "Troy, get in the damn car."
"Right."
"Playa, you too."
Naruto kept his rifle aimed down the area where the fallen gang members were, with only him standing there as the other Saints already bailed out on foot.
"Playa!"
Naruto jerked his head around and slowly made his way towards the car as he kept his aim down to the road, just as he entered the backseat just when a cop car arrived on the scene.
"Hit the gas!"
The Zomkah drove off just as the two cops got out of the car both cops were unable to stop them. Leaving the Harrowgate Docks as a warzone for the uniformed cops to find.
The moment the cops were out of their sight, Troy called it in.
"Alright, we lost 'em...Drop me and Julius off at the church…"
The drive to the church was silent as multiple cop cars and ambulances were seen going past them to try and get to the docks, causing Naruto to stare at them briefly with his rifle.
"Take it easy, kid." Troy tried to reason, "They ain't going for this car now…"
Naruto took the word and lowered his guard, just then when the drive came to an end as they pulled up to the parking lot of the abandoned church, Kate parked in there with Julius having the final say.
"We did it, playa. Saint's Row is ours again. Don't think I'm finished with you yet, though. I'm holding a meeting at the church. Swing by when you can."
Hours later
The Church
With word getting out quickly about the turf war in the Harrowgate Docks, the result was inadequate for everybody involved in it - all except for the Third Street Saints. With the last remaining pockets of resistance squeezed out of the Row, Harrowgate got under the Saints' control, with all the hustlers in that area either now paying direct a cut to the gang or being put out of business and getting out - meaning the whole of Saint's Row was now claiming purple.
The biggest contributors to that victory were Kate and Naruto, with both of them getting their moments of fame from the other gang members who were swarming them with props.
"Congrats man," Johnny dabbed hands with Naruto, unable to stop smiling at his friend, "I heard what you did in Athos Bay, but what you did in the docks - nice."
Naruto chuckled as he accepted his friend's compliments, "It was nothing. Glad I could help."
"I heard you brought an AR-40 with you, that true?" Dex asked coming into the conversation, wanting to know, "That's like a bit of overkill if you ask me."
"Hmm, I don't know, sounds right with me," Johnny said, thinking more, "I'd say I would use a machine pistol more."
Kate however was getting a bit cramped by the others who were complimenting her, as she found herself a bit shy, she got taps on the back and compliments by the guys who stood taller than her.
"You did good, kid." Troy came up to her and fist-bumped, "Nice driving and shooting."
"Thanks, Troy," Kate smiled at him, "I guess I'm just trying to do my part."
"And you did," Naruto said taking Kate under his shoulder and laughing a bit, "I'm glad you still know how to hotwire."
"What can I say?" Kate smiled at Naruto, "I learned from the best."
"Listen up, people. I got some serious shit to discuss."
Everyone in the church turned their heads to the front, hearing Julius out as he addressed them.
"Yeah, we cleared out the Row. You think for a second that's gonna stop 'em? Unless we wipe all these muthafuckas out, they're gonna keep comin', and they ain't gonna be happy. It ain't gonna be settled until the Carnales, the Rollerz, and the Vice Kings ain't nothin' but a memory."
Now that idea was put forward, the strategy sounded like they were going on the offensive - something that was worth listening to from Naruto's perspective.
"Dex, you got the Carnales. Ever since they hooked up with the Colombians, it's like they own this town, and with that drug money rolling in, we can't compete. Be smart how you move against 'em. The Lopez family been runnin' that gang for thirty years. There's a reason they still around."
"Got it," Dex simply replied to his orders.
"Troy," Julius pointed out, "you're dealing with the Vice Kings."
"Not a chance…" Troy replied while smoking.
Julius snapped, "Fuck you say?"
Not budging down, Troy repeated, "Anyone but them."
"You scared of going against Benjamin King?" Julius asked him, invoking that name.
"Man, fuck that," Johnny walked up the center, volunteering for the job, "I'll take King out."
That cocky attitude however didn't sit well with Julius. "Johnny, it's not that simple."
"Bullets still kill muthafucka's, right?" Johnny asked while smiling at the prospect of going against King, "Doesn't get much simpler than that."
Naruto looked at Kate who couldn't keep a straight face, seeing how Johnny was a fun guy, this he could see did little to convince Julius fully with that responsibility as the man turned to Troy and Dex to tell them something."
"Keep an eye on ya boy."
Johnny didn't like it, "I don't need a fucking babysitter Julius."
"Keep an eye on ya boy…" Julius made it clear to the other two lieutenants, with a frown visible on his face without even facing Gat.
To then break the tension, Dex asked. "Who's got the Rollerz?
"I do."
This answer echoed through the church as a woman answered this question, an Asian woman with fair skin that could identify her as Japanese or Chinese, she walked through the crowd to the altar wearing blue track pants and a black halter that hugged her chest, she had dark hair tied in a bun and held by sticks.
"Lin?" Johnny asked surprised at her outfit, "The fuck you wearin' blue for?"
"I asked Lin to hook up with the Rollerz. We don't know much about these fuckas," Julius explained to them the plan, "so I wanted one of us on the inside."
Hearing this, a frown grew on Naruto's face, visible enough for Kate to look at him in confusion as she was about to ask him.
"I didn't think the Rollerz pimped hos…" One Saint with ginger hair and a goatee joked, laughing at it-
POW!*
That joke didn't go well with him receiving a nasty right hook from Lin who knocked the loudmouth out cold to the ground, earning a mixed reaction of groans, surprises, and laughter from the rest of the gang members.
"Any other comments?" Lin dared out for anyone else to speak. Nobody dared at first.
"Yeah, when you punched," Johnny began with some advice, "don't throw your shoulder so much."
"Shut up, Johnny," Lin told him off.
Johnny replied smiling, "Hey, I'm just sayin'."
Naruto then happened to walk out of the group and made his way to where Lin was, causing some to look at him.
Naruto kneeled to the unconscious ginger Saint member and checked on him, getting a groan in response.
"How is he?" Lin asked.
"He'll be okay," Naruto said standing back up and commenting, "but one thing I cannot say."
Lin narrowed her eyes, "And that is?"
"If your hook was powerful enough to slap the stupid out of him," Naruto responded to her question with a chuckle and complimented her, "By the way, good hook."
"Thanks."
"Once we're done here go talk to one of these guys. They'll have something for you to do."
everyone turned back to Julius who had the final word to end this meeting.
"It's our time now. Let's get this shit started."
That is all folks. Hope you all like it and I see you all next time.
