Chapter 39: The Saints and the Damned
Los Santos
Monday
The quartet were back in their headquarters after all having lunch together while chatting over plans. Isaribi was pleased to know that Naruto got a potential member for her new MC already in Paleto Bay. Nora's voice came on over the intercom.
"You have visitors." Nora said. "Requesting Naruto and Isaribi."
"Duty calls." Isaribi said as she and Naruto went out to the front.
The two were surprised to see Jase and Alex there, moreso to hear they wanted to join Tidal Fox.
"Might I ask why?" Naruto asked.
"I can't help you indirectly like Matt…I realized I'd be putting my family at risk. There's safety in numbers, plus it's easier to get a babysitter." Jase said as José was eating the remaining macaroons while sitting on the nearby chairs. "Pretty sure you can justify babysitting as a duty for any of your members to do as a job to get paid for. Aside from that, I have my qualifications as I was on the advisory board…and I have spent time as a soldier, captain, and briefly as an underboss."
"Well I can't deny your qualifications. We need a direct hacker, and Shikamaru's speciality is more intel gathering and making plans. No offense, Naruto." Isaribi said as Naruto nodded in understanding.
"Plus, there's another detail. I believe in a yakuza, there's the rank of So-honbucho or headquarters chief. This would mean I serve directly under the bosses' orders. It would put me directly under your Saiko-Komon." Jase said.
"Ok, you know your shit. I'll give you that." Isaribi said as Naruto looked sheepishly. "What's wrong?"
"It's just you put a lot of thought into it, and it kinda made me feel dumb for not thinking about those details." Naruto said as Jase shrugged.
"Don't fret about it. That's why you have a team." Jase said. "As for my fianceé, I can argue for her to easily be a Komon or a Kyodai. She's well-versed in CQC and firearms…having a good teacher to train some of your less experienced members would be beneficial to your organization."
"Ok, one second." Naruto said as Isaribi and him went to the office. "Ok, what do you think about this? I think they'd be good additions."
"They came prepared. Jase is exactly like Matt hyped him up to be…and we have no need to question loyalty. We all want the same thing…Cashlin out of power and preferably with a bullet in her skull. But do we put Alex as a kyodai or a komon?" Isaribi mused.
"Kyodai. We only have three after all." Naruto said. "And I do think everyone on the team should be able to throw hands."
"That I agree with…so let's look over our hierarchy." Isaribi said, pulling it up. "Oh, seeing that Tricia's joining my MC, I think we can bump her up to Komon."
Naruto nodded in agreement as they looked over the new listing.

The two returned to Alex and Jase to welcome them to Tidal Fox. That's when the pair realized they were automatically being put into a mission.
[LS Saints - Shootout and Saviors]
[Cues: The Seatbelts - Road to the West]
"Good, because we got something that'll put the hurt on the Saints and get Cashlin to have some problems with her organization. I'll explain on the way, but we need to get to the Paleto Bay first. I've got an old contact who can help." Jase said as someone else arrived at headquarters.
Olivia van der Meer had come only this time out of her usual black dress and in black tactical wear and fatigues.
"Mrs. van der Meer, what do we owe the pleasure?" Naruto asked.
"I need your help. We can talk about my husband's poor showing later, my daughter's being ambushed at the airport…and I also have to rescue my mother." Olivia groaned. "Because it's not just the Saints, because of my mother…the Professionals are there as well."
"Ok, looks like we're splitting up. I'll go with Olivia." Naruto said as Isaribi rolled her eyes.
Isaribi went to the lounge to see it was just Jakob, Olga, Vanessa, and Jabari playing video games while Elio, Ella, and Anna watched.
"Anna, where's the rest of your squad?" Isaribi asked. "And where's the other members?"
"Up to Paleto, Miss Oyabun." Anna said. "I don't know about the others."
"Ella, I need you for a job. Let's go." Isaribi said as Ella tossed her empty soda in the trash.
The two left back to the front.
"Alex, there will be a motorcycle in the front waiting for you. Time for you to put your money where your mouth is." Isaribi said. "Jase, we're going. Nora, think you can play babysitter for a bit for extra pay?"
"Why of course, Miss Umi." Nora said as Isaribi tossed her twenty thousand.
"José, be good to the nice guy looking after you. Mom and Dad are going out to work." Alex said, ruffling her kid's hair.
Isaribi's group took their leave as Yara and Tomoko came out of the meeting room, pissed they started without them.
"One of you can still catch up with Isaribi, but I need one of you with me." Naruto said as Yara went ahead. "All right, then. I'll get a crew ready."
Naruto went to the break room.
"Anna, I need you. I got a job I need you on." Naruto said as Anna followed him out.
"So what are you we doi-"
Anna saw Olivia and wanted to complain. However, she held her tongue as they left.
[Music Ends]
Naruto ordered three armored Cogscenettis for each of them to take as they drove away. Tomoko ordered her own. Naruto called up Maritza asking where she was.
"We are about to go up near headquarters."
"Well turn around…because I need you both. Time to see if you can prove yourselves." Naruto said as he honked his horn before hanging up.
The duo caught up to them on their bikes as Naruto got on the communication lines.
"Ok, Olivia. Fill us in on our secondary task, I have a feeling that's going to be more troublesome." Naruto asked.
"My mother's a self-serving asshole. She's likely coming to me for a handout because I'm the only one she could reach. I don't know why she did this…but depending on what it is, I may just put the bullet in her head for them." Olivia remarked. "What? Any of you have mother issues?"
"Nope, had a loving pair of parents." Tomoko responded.
"Same." Naruto said.
"I had them…until they died." Anna said blankly.
"My condolences." Olivia said.
~TWG~
Isaribi led the charge on her Hellfury Custom as everyone else was on bikes riding convoy style on the freeway.
"Ok, Jase…what exactly are we in for?" Isaribi asked.
"I got my hands on one of Cashlin's gaming handhelds. A PSP. Now in the PSP's golden years, there was a whole network set up to send and receive stuff. Emulators, movies, the whole shebang. Now us hacker folk saw the potential to use it for communication that the cops couldn't easily pick up. PSP's OS isn't something I'm a master in, but I know someone who is…she lives out in Paleto Bay." Jase explained.
"She?" Alex asked. "Another girl?"
"I didn't really tell anyone…but before I ended up in LS…Paleto Bay was my home and I had a friend there. Girl next door type shit…as she lived next door to where I lived with my grandparents before they retired to Vice. I ended up in LS with my 'rents…until I got my own place and they opted to 'retire' out to the town of Bayside." Jase said. "Point being I called them and they unintentionally gave me some information I really needed. Cashlin's mom is on her way back to LS…being escorted by Saints. Even better, one of their major heads is leading it. We take him and her mom out, major blows all around."
"Ok, but what about that PSP?" Yara asked.
"Long story short, it's got information that could get Cashlin's dad to force Cashlin out of control of the family funds." Alex said, cutting Jase off.
"Thank you for being concise." Ella said with a sigh.
~TWG~
Team Naruto arrived at the airport to see an utter shitshow. Bullets flew, people were on the ground either bleeding out or ducking shells, and people were firing at each other.
"Split up. Olivia, Anna. You're with me on finding Victoria. Tomoko, go find Olivia's mother with Maritza and Flaca." Naruto said as they got all out.
"My mother's got slightly better tits…you'll know her when you see her." Olivia said as they split up.
Naruto's minimap would point him in the right direction as Saints descended on them. Anna popped off two Saints in the head with her golden deagle.
"Look at that, empty heads do make the most noise." Anna snarked as Olivia snatched up a pump shotgun and fired upon the Saints. "Not a bad shot, Miss Moneybags."
Naruto got out his special carbine and unloaded on a few Saints and even a Professional trying a glory kill as they pressed ahead. Following the radar led them to the bathrooms where they found Victoria cowering in the bathroom.
"Aw, bitch I thought you were gangsta."
"Fuck off, Coldstone!" Victoria snapped.
"Victoria. Just stop, we found you like this…you're not cut out for this. Now get your bags and let's go." Olivia said right as Naruto's phone buzzed with a text.
"Looks like we're getting more company soon, so we need to get Victoria out of here." Naruto said. "Listen Olivia, once you get back in the car with Victoria. I need to stash the car in the Mirror Park Tavern parking lot, I'll pick you both up after I help Tomoko. GO!"
Victoria begrudgingly handed over her golden deagle to Anna saying that she was going to need it more than her. Olivia hauled ass with Victoria as Naruto and Anna went on ahead in the airport to aid Tomoko. Tomoko had found the target, Vivian Dickinson but she, Maritza, and Flaca were putting up with her complaining.
"Flaca, get down!" Naruto said as Flaca ducked as Naruto blew off the head of an incoming Professional with his sawed-off shotgun. "The other target has been secured, let's go!"
"Aren't you a hand-"
"Not the fucking time." Naruto said icily.
~TWG~
Team Isaribi arrived at Paleto with Jase leading the way to a house on Procopio Drive, a detached two story house with a garage.
"This is where she lives?" Bella asked.
"No, this is where my early days were made. She's next door…" Jase said, getting off his black and silver Hexer Custom. "I just wanted to park the bikes here so we don't give her a panic attack. I actually haven't seen her in a long while…"
"Bella, I can trust you to go get Tricia and any needed backup. I'll deal with Riley." Isaribi said as Bella took off on her 'Prince Charming'.
Jase, Alex, and Isaribi walked over to the house next door, which was a humble one storey house. Before he could go towards the door, his phone rang to which he answered it only to his grandmother's voice.
"I'm kind of bu-"
"I heard you might be starting a family."
"Yes, but…" Jase sputtered.
"That's splendid. It's about time given all that time you spent tinkering."
Jase wanted to point out he was barely 21, but then she said something got him to shut up.
"That's why I sent you the keys to the old house…they should be in the mailbox. Me and your grandfather are perfectly content to live out our lives in Vice. You're a man now and you need to lead your household. Personally, I wonder what kind of person just raises another man's kid."
"She's a widow." Jase clarified. "The kid…never knew his dad. Died after he was born."
"Oh…never mind then. Sorry, it's just things are not how they used to be, but you clearly know what you're doing. I can accept a step grandson…just let that girl know that she never breaks your heart, I'll rip hers out with my combat knife. Bye sweetie."
She hung up as Jase turned to Alex.
"So my grandmother just threatened to disembowel you…if you 'broke my heart'." Jase said, putting his phone away. "But she just gave me the house. So I guess we are getting out of LS."
Alex just chuckled as he got out a spare key to unlock the door.
"Funny thing is my grandmother forgot that Kara's parents gave her the spare key…and I ended up taking it with me by accident when I moved to LS." Jase said. "So just wait outside, all right?"
He went ahead inside being hit with old memories of his past before all of this. Simpler times. He glanced at a photo of his and her families together…all of Kara's sisters. He snapped out of his remembering to get going to where he needed to be…the basement. What he found was a total mess…and no Kara. He looked elsewhere only to find Kara in the laundry room…naked. Both just froze. Kara still had that long shoulder length hair with choppy bangs framing her almond shaped head. She was rather petite and lanky with pouty lips, freckles, and a thin and wispy mound of pubic hair that trailed a bit. That smell she had was something that brought memories of it's own.
"Well this is awkward…" Jase said as Kara cleared her throat.
"We haven't seen each in nearly two decades." Kara said awkwardly. "And how did you get in?"
"Spare key." He said.
"But hey we can 'catch' up…it's been-"
"I'm going to have to stop you…I have someone in my life already. A woman I'm soon to marry once some unfortunate issues are over." Jase said gently as Kara looked a bit down. "But I came to you for help."
He explained everything before giving her the device.
"Ok, I can get to work on this…I'll call you if I find anything." Kara said as he left.
"I'm an idiot." Jase said facepalming.
"But you're my idiot." Alex ribbed as Jase snickered.
"All right, let's get the gang together." Isaribi remarked.
~TWG~
Naruto arrived at the tavern parking lot with the others, all rather tired. Victoria had walked off into the nearby coffee shop across the street for a drink. Olivia was kinda glad Tomoko dragged Vivian out.
"I don't know who you pissed off, but you better start talking." Tomoko said, fuming.
"I don't have to tell you anything, you're being-"
Olivia grabbed her mother by the collar glaring hotly at her as she told her to start talking before shoving her.
"No respect at all, Livy. I raised you better." Vivian said as Oliva had a hollow laugh.
"Bullshit. You raised me like shit, now tell me why the Professionals were after you." Olivia said as Vivian rolled her eyes.
"Fine, so I might have ripped off someone from the Epsilon Program." Vivian said as Naruto pistol whipped her.
Vivian was out cold as he shoved the woman in the trunk of Tomoko's car.
"Tomoko, take her to the Epsilon Building. Let them handle it. I'm not dealing with going against him." Naruto said as Tomoko got back in the car. "Sorry Olivia, but…"
"No, I get it. Good riddance. I wouldn't want to cross those weirdos either." Oliva said plainly.
[Cues: GTA V OST - Epsilon Theme]
Naruto could hear it…the droning theme once again. His cell rang before he answered to hear it was a member of Epsilon warning him about Vivian.
"A bit too late. However, I got her stuffed in the trunk of a car being delivered to your building." Naruto said.
"Oh, well…this is most appreciated. Do not fret about the Professionals, we can pin blame on the Saints. Your organization will be compensated for this. But expect a call soon."
CLICK!
[Music Ends]
Naruto took a deep sigh of relief hearing that theme was over as Victoria came out with a coffee.
"What the hell did I miss?" Victoria said only for Anna to glare at her. "Never mind."
"Let's get you two home." Naruto said.
~TWG~
Isaribi looked upon the gathered group and it seemed only Nani had a bit of trouble handling a motorcycle.
"Nigga, you handle cars likes a beast." Riley chided.
"Yeah, but I've never really rode a motorcycle before. At least I had a scooter when I used to deliver pizzas." Nani admitted before thinking 'I guess the jacket's skill doesn't translate to bikes.'
"Anyway, Tricia…I'm pleased to meet you…and your friends. Do well and you can find yourselves sisters of my soon to be MC, the Blue Banekos." Isaribi said as Jase got off the phone. "Any update from your friend?"
"No, that was Mandy. She came through with a tip for me. Diya's on her way with her entourage. If we get them before they cross the bridge, we might be able to make it look like someone else attacked them. But we can't leave anyone alive." Jase remarked. "Meaning we have to hit fast and hard."
"I got an idea." Isaribi remarked as they all moved out. "But I need to know where they are exactly."
"Angel Pine. They're asking around for a gas station…and there's one on the SF highway, we'll need to get there. So…how about we drop the hammer?" Jase said as Isaribi grinned.
"Can you handle yourself, big man?" Beatrix snipped.
"This Hexer is a bit on the custom side. A 2032cc twin cam engine and 6 speed transmission with a final chain drive. Most Hexers have a 5 speed transmission." Jase said before revving. "So eat dust."
Jase raced ahead as Beatrix tried to catch up. Isaribi could not help but feel nostalgic for simpler times. The race was a brief breather for them with Isaribi taking the victory with Jase coming in second as the others came up.
"Ok, they're not here yet. So get into position!" Isaribi said.
Once they were out of sight, they did not have to wait for the Saints convoy to arrive. Out Diya came looking irritated.
"Look, I'm going to go use the bathroom…in the woods." Diya said as Kevin asked if he wanted someone to go with her. "It's the woods. Who's going to be there to kill me? Bigfoot? No, just fill up the cars by the time I get back."
"What about the nearby bar?" A Saint asked.
"I'm not pissing in a bar bathroom….that's disgusting." Diya said before walking off into the woods.
Isaribi nodded at Yara who slipped off to follow her as Isaribi motioned for everyone to get their piece out and take aim. Diya trudged in the woods…only to get cracked in the back of the head with Yara's bat. Crumpled on the ground, Diya was in and out of consciousness…emptying her bladder in a pathetic display.
BANG! A single shot from Yara's deagle ended her life leaving a bloody mess as there was an item with a faint glow to it for Yara to collect. She smashed a Molotov on the body before leaving. As she walked back only to hear an explosion. Yara ran back expecting there was a fight, but there wasn't. Before a bullet could be fired…Kevin was trying to get his bong lit up. He slipped in some oil accidentally flinging them at the gas pump causing the explosion. All his partners…were incinerated.
"Shit! My car! I have my drugs in it…"
People from the bar were coming out seeing the utter destruction and saw a panicked Kevin trying to flee. Of course, Isaribi sniped him in the leg causing him to fall onto the road. As angry patrons jumped him, Team Isaribi slipped away.
"That was far too easy." Isaribi said as Jase's phone rang.
He answered it to hear Kara going on what she found before he ended the call.
"Ok, looks like Kara's found what I needed for Amon, meaning we need to play escort. C'mon, I'll take you to them." Jase said, taking the lead.
~TWG~
Victoria was glad to be home as she came out to Lupelli taking her bags inside. Olivia took off her sunglasses and simply looked relieved.
"Victoria, I think you have something you need to say." Olivia said, crossing her arms as Victoria pouted.
"Thank you for rescuing me." Victoria said formally.
"Was that so hard?" Anna joked.
Victoria flipped her off before going inside.
"Thank you for your aid. I'll have payment delivered for this, I assume I can get this set up through your secretary." Olivia said as Naruto gave her the number. "Thank you, once again. Don't be a stranger."
Olivia went inside as Naruto and company left the house.
"Oi, Naruto. You mind if I keep the car?" Anna asked. "I always wanted a bulletproof car."
"Sure, consider it a bonus." Naruto said as Anna took off with it. "I…didn't…screw it, she's done her part."
Naruto heard it again, the droning theme…only this time it was coming from his cell phone. They were calling him and he answered.
"Isaribi's going to be in danger. There's a hit squad of Saints being sent up the highway to the north side of the State by your common enemy. They can not make it across the bridge." Marnie said before hanging up.
Naruto saw a timer start up and immediately called his garage mechanic to deliver his Shotaro which he did in a few moments.
"JJ, here." Naruto said, tossing him keys. "Take that Cogscenetti and store it in the garage to sell."
"All right, saves me the trouble."
Naruto rode off with Tomoko, Maritza, and Marisol in tow.
"Fuu, where are you?" Naruto said after calling her.
"Hanging out with Tiana and Charlotte, we cruising in her retro car. Why?" Fu asked.
"I need all three of you, I was warned that the Saints hit squad is on the way to attack our friends." Naruto said, telling them to meet us in Pacific Bluffs before hanging up. "Ok, Maritza and Flaca, you two are dismissed. After that shitshow, you both need to rest."
"Yeah, go back to headquarters and check out the break room." Tomoko said as Maritza and Marisol split off.
Naruto and Tomoko would find Fuu, Charlotte, and Tiana in a red and white Albany Roosevelt Valor.
"Can that thing even run?" Naruto said as Charlotte revved the engine.
"You bet your ass it can…my own handiwork." Charlotte said as she followed Naruto and Tomoko to the highway.
~TWG~
"Fuck!" Jase spat getting off the phone.
"What's wrong?" Amon said worriedly.
"Looks like Cashlin's got wind of your location." Jase said worriedly. "I got an insider in the Saints…and Cashlin got hired a bunch to cross over here."
"Then we don't mess around." Isaribi said calling up for Merryweather services.
Given Amon had a girlfriend and a daughter, she did not want to take chances as a Maverick came down. Isaribi came up to the pilot to give some instructions as everyone helped to load the family's things onto the helicopter before Amon, Sophia, and Amandee got on. The pilot took off with them as Isaribi revved her bike…all leaving in a convoy.
"I told him to drop them off in Harmony. They'll be fine, and I'll call Naruto to deal with that." Isaribi said as she called Naruto.
Only to hear Naruto was fighting that battalion already and hung up.
"Well then, I guess we're going to back them up." Isaribi said.
~TWG~
Naruto had to admit that the old-fashioned car had its perks, namely allowing Tiana and Fuu to hang off the sides firing their tommy guns. Naruto swerved between two Saints in their Comets before throwing sticky bombs in their faces before wheelieing away to hit the detonator. The highway was in utter chaos but Naruto could hear the roar of motorcycles and bullets. Isaribi and her group had arrived to clean out the rest, making it rain metal on any Saint there. Before the last one could even get their phone out, Yara shot it out of their hand before Tomoko put the Saint down.
"Ok, everyone's dismissed." Isaribi said. "I think it's time the bosses handled the rest. Ladies, let me say that I'll deal with the club house's opening as soon as this job is done. I'll see you all in Paleto."
Everyone split up with the quartet heading for Harmony, finding the family safe and secure, opting to stay at the Eastern Motel. With what Yara collected off Diya handed over to Amon, he could compile all the evidence he needed.
"Thank you for this. And don't worry, I actually happen to know some of the locals here…I just didn't want this to be the first place they'd look." Amon said, shaking their hands.
As she went inside, the world went gray.
[Mission Complete! +$525,0000 , +5000 RP]
The world returned to normal as Naruto's phone rang with a call from Nora. When he answered, Nora informed him that Olivia pulled through sending payments to everyone to take part and words of thanks before hanging up. Naruto and Yara got texts that the cars were sold and the money was being transferred.
"Well I'm heading to the nearest safehouse. I need a snack and a nap." Yara said before riding away.
"I do need you to opening the clubhouse, Naruto." Isaribi said as Naruto nodded.
"I'll be heading home." Tomoko said before riding away.
~TWG~
Kara had done as instructed after Jase's last call in securing Cashlin's device and making sure it was off. She sighed remembering his words of having someone in his life. She had liked him, but her own anxiety and insecurity left it buried. She was outside going for a bit of a walk with her headphones in trying to cope with the loss, missing Isaribi and Naruto riding by. Sure, her clothes were fresh out the drier…but it was already hot out.
"We're here. So this is 68 Paleto Boulevard." Naruto said as he and Isaribi pulled up at the place. "It's better on the inside probably."
"Better be." Isaribi said getting off her bike.
She opened the door up as they went inside. They ended up in the garage area as they were guided up the stairs where they found the bar area where there was someone from Isaribi's past.
"Malc?" Isaribi said as Malc turned.
"Holy shit. If it ain't Isaribi! You're all grown up! I should have recognized this artwork was your handiwork." Malc said as she hugged him. "Don't get emotional on me now."
"Oh shut up." Isaribi said breaking it. "I'm just happy to see someone from my old biker days that I can stand."
"Yeah. yeah. Look, I wanted to apologize for…"
"No need. Just let me introduce you to my partner and the VP for this MC, Naruto." Isaribi said as Naruto and Malc shook hands.
"Now with that out of the way, let me run you through the place. Here, you got all the recreational activities you need. Darts, juke, working bar, whatever…whatever. Your barmaid is in the bathroom...you can meet her later." Malc said before going through the hierarchy stuff.
That was mostly for Naruto, Isaribi was fully aware of how to run an MC. At least…how not to utterly screw it up given what she had experienced. The System filled them in on a few other things however. Malc went on about the jobs on the board they could take. Then he gestured downstairs.
"Now the bike shop's there if you need work done. Zach's charging for this work, but you get easy convenience. And your office is set up with your gun locker and a laptop connected to an anonymity network to connect with cats who got business offers with no feds involved. Aside from that, you're free to run it as you see him. I'll however serve as overseer for any of that club work you do, so we'll be in touch. You still got my number." Malc said before going downstairs. "Ey, what are you guys calling yours?"
"The Blue Banekos." Isaribi said as Malc chuckled.
"Only you, Isaribi." Malc joked before he left.
The rev of a Double-T Custom could be heard as he was out of the clubhouse. A woman came up the stairs and cleared her throat to get their attention. She was a white lady in the midst of middle age with long wavy brown hair that had lighter brown colored streaks and brown eyes. She was clearly a woman hardened by the road given her firm body and steely glazed. She wore a patched leather halter vest under a wine red tank top, black ribbed leather pants, black low heeled boots, two faded silver wedding bands, and red lipsticks.
"So you two are the ones running this clubhouse…well I've heard a lot about you, Lady Liberty. A real maverick…I just hope you ain't into the feminist bullshit like that other Asian cunt. Name's Sindy." Sindy said.
"For one, that's not feminism, but a mockery of it. No, I…no we were literally responsible for shredding the Buffalo Girls to pieces…this morning." Isaribi said before thinking, 'Damn I really got a lot done today.'
Sindy raised an eyebrow.
"That was you guys?! Well then, I take it back. I got nothing to worry about." Sindy said, pouring them a shot. "Here. My way of saying thanks."
"So tell us about you." Naruto said downing his drink.
"I lived life on the open road. Been married twice…they were twin brothers in a biker gang out in the Midwest. First one due to a drunk driver. Second one…to a driver that was high off painkillers. At least he was able to raise the kids with me before that happened. With the kids grown and off on their own, I moved out West and here I am working the bar like I've done before, enjoying a low key retirement." Sindy said as Isaribi finished off her drink. "So about new members…"
"Already texting them to come." Naruto said as Isaribi checked out her MC office.
She was prompted by the System to choose an MC Style. She was modern on most things, but classic on several things. For this, it was for this reason went classic with the Patched Member style making sure the jacket color was black. With that set, she was motioned to the closet to get her Chapter President jacket. She got it out of there and smirked as she put it on.
The leather jacket had a studded collar and the club's symbol on the back aside from the patches. Thanks to System, she could pull up the list of patches and wings appearing like achievements with it even having little explanations for most of them. Some of there were the basic stuff, the personal stuff, and then the achievements.
[Isaribi Umi's Current Patches]
President - You lead this chapter.
Ghost of Liberty - (Exclusive) A living legend being Liberty's phantasm.
Suiko - Foxes and cats run together.
San Andreas - Your home turf
Finally Found - You were a former member of the Lost.
Feud - You're a friend of the Families
Isaribi was pleased to see that the patch was a ghostly version of the Statue of Happiness, and thought the Suiko patch was cute. The Finally Found patch got a laugh out of her given it's image of was of a shattered Lost symbol with the word found painted on in red.
White Wings - You banged a virgin.

Blue Wings - You gave a cop oral.
Golden Wings - You (accidentally) got a golden shower.

Isaribi thought back on her antics in the in-between years but noticed she lacked a Skull patch, to which she figured she technically had not killed for the club yet.
"Wait, there's a Black Wings patch?!" Isaribi thought.

She smirked as she used the wardrobe to change after buying several things online. She came out in a Nagasaki t-shirt, a pair of oxblood padded leather pants with a black belt, black calf boots, her fingerless gloves, a skull wrist chain on right wrist, her Datejust watch on her left hand, a gray Ace of Spades bandana tied around her head, and a pair of dusk colored urban ski goggles. She cackled with glee as she got her Chapter President jacket on.
"I missed this so much." Isaribi thought before leaving the office.
"Damn girl, going all out?" Naruto said as Isaribi slipped off the goggles to let it hang around her neck.
"Yes I am." Isaribi said before going to the member board. "As should you, Vice President."
She got Naruto marked as the Vice President as Naruto got a prompt from the System that he received his Vice President jacket. Isaribi let him use her wardrobe to change. Naruto changed to an orange tank top, a pair of black padded leather pants with an orange belt, black laceup boots, and his orange urban ski goggles. His fingerless gloves and his watch remained as he looked upon his new Vice President jacket. He looked at the list of patches that he had.
[Naruto Uzumaki's Current Patches]
Vice President - You are second in command.
Suiko - Foxes and cats run together.
San Andreas - Your home turf
Feud - You're a friend of the Families.
Whirlpool - (Exclusive) Heir to the Uzumaki Clan
White Wings - You banged a virgin.
Golden Wings - You (accidentally) got a golden shower.
Green Wings - You banged a diseased woman. (What's wrong with you?)
Ace of Spades - You've killed on contract.
Rising Sun - (Exclusive) For you and your fellow Japanese to show your pride.
13 - You smoke that good weed.
Naruto balked at the wings…at least the golden one. He shook off that old memory as he put on the jacket. Both Naruto and Isaribi's Interaction Menus had updated slightly…and they were all for it with the new features. Naruto's picture was in the Vice President slot.
"I'm going to make some calls…think you go find Tricia and her friends?" Isaribi asked him.
Naruto went downstairs to find the President's parking spots where all her bikeswere and extra space. The area for VP netted him three slots which were filled by his personal bikes. He also noticed a wine red Avarus on one end of the place and a silver Shitzu Defiler near the bike repair kiosk. Zach came out of the bike repair kiosk.
"Yo, I'm Zach. Zach Nelson, your MC's personal mechanic." Zack said, shaking Naruto's hand.
"Good grip, and I like the ink." Naruto said.
"I actually wanted to tell you that I connected with an old friend and I offer a service exclusive to Hexers. I can make them a Hexer Custom adding another chain drive and major improvements." Zach mused. "All for a quarter mil."
Naruto tossed him the money before getting on his Shotaro.
"I'll take it. You can put it back when you're gone, I got club business to handle." Naruto said before riding out of the place.
Finding Tricia was not too hard with the minimap showing her location which took him out of town to the nearby Procopio Beach and by extension, its truck stop. He parked and got out to check out the place, seeing an old Up-n-Atom Burger place. He went in, deciding to get a double-double. As he sat at the counter, he noticed Tricia with the other girls at a nearby table chatting.
"I'm telling…I can't use my vibrator without…thinking of the actual thing." Tricia groaned as she sipped her shake.
"Congratulations…pretty sure you had a bi awakening." Beatrix joked.
"You've never done it before him?" Fia asked. "You said…"
"I've sucked several, but never went all the way with full-on sex." Tricia clarified.
"Oh yeah, that's kinda natural. After the first time, you'll crave more strongly for a short time. Think of it like a high that'll fade over time." Eva said as Naruto got his food and came over.
"Ladies." Naruto said, coming up. "I got some good news. The Blue Banekos are in business."
All four grinned at the news because Beatrix noticed the wings on the jacket and snickered.
"What?" Fia asked.
"It's the colored wings…you don't know what they mean?" Beatrix said as Fia and Tricia shook their heads. "Oh my god…Amaghara…you absolute fuckwit."
"The colored winged are achievements of sorts for us bikers. White wings means you banged a virgin. Black Wings is if you fucked a black person. Golden wings mean you drank piss or got a golden shower. Red Wings mean you banged a woman on her period. Blue Wings is you giving a cop oral or alternatively you got a cop to give you oral. Brown Wings is basically doing oral-anal…or just giving a rimjob. Purple Wings are from banging a pregnant woman. The green wings is…"
She noticed Naruto had that, only to remember Tricia.
"Ugh, you have to fuck a person who's diseased. Technically, Tricia counted…so he has them. But to get those wings, you have to do them…and have it be witnessed by another member." Beatrix said as Fia looked mortified. "That's the life you signed on for. I'm telling you the far nicer version than it used to be. Purple and gold wings' objectives were far worse. You really should know your patch culture."
"I know the others…just not the wings. So where are we basing out exactly?" Tricia said eagerly.
"68 Paleto Boulevard. There's the area in the back where you can stash your RVs." Naruto said before scarfing down the burger.
"Do we have to get new jackets…and is there a preferred color?" Tricia asked.
"Yes, and it's black." Naruto said. "I'll order them and have them delivered. My way of thanking you for your help giving our enemies a good black eye."
"We're like that." Fia said politely.
~TWG~
Palesa and Eli sat around as Cashlin did nothing but scream her head off at them for this recent failure. She had even come all the way to their HQ which was the church in Strawberry. Of course, she came with help. Palesa was the most bothered by Kevin's detainment.
[Cues: Unaverage Gang - Underground (slowed)]
"So not only is my father still alive, but you FUCKS got my mom killed. So do we even have any idea who did this?" Cashlin asked before fuming in anger. "It's yours. Word is a friend blew up a gas station with a bong. My mother? She burned to death. But it wasn't hard to get rid of Kevin…we can have him snitching."
"You killed him?!" Neenah asked. "Why could you-"
"Because he's useless to me. I don't need a drug-addled gook fuck." Cashlin said icily.
Eli tried to placate, but Palesa shoved Eli out of the way to get in Cashlin's face.
"Fuck you, you overweight entitled-"
SLINK!
Palesa coughed blood as she looked down to see a Judas knife in her gut.
"I swear you black women are always so argumentative and can't learn to shut the fuck up." Cashlin said darkly before twisting it and pulling it out.
Palesa fell to the ground as Cashlin looked to Eli, who pulled out a gun.
"Nothing personal P, it's just business. You just wouldn't listen to my advice." Eli said before shooting Palesa dead.
[Music Ends]
Cashlin smirked.
"Good riddance to bad rubbish. Now about Neenah?" Cashlin said as they heard footsteps moving away. "What was that?"
As the group went out to look around, the witness slipped away hastily getting her phone out to make a call.
"Lindsay…it's Heather, can I crash with you for a bit?"

(A/N: Yes, the LS Saints are coming to an end next. I realized that Cashlin would not have patience to deal with Palesa at all. As for Eli betraying the group, I always had plans for that, but…who he was going to betray Palesa for was going to be very different initially. Regardless, the next chapter is going to deal with that and it's about to be our 40th chapter! As for Kara Eklund, she's actually an OC from an artist I've enjoyed following: Hitsujigoods. In fact, Kara's encounter is actually a reference to one of her pieces which I'll share on the Ao3 version. Go support her and her game: NEET Girl Date Night)
