Respect, Loyalty and Honour

[Leprechaun]

Prologue

 

It is 1992. The place is Los Angeles. Cedric Jamison a.k.a CJ, a medium sized African-American man who had brown hair and brown eyes was a bit dazed. He was wearing a white t-shirt and blue jeans. He surprisingly remembered being picked-up at LAX airport by three police officers who were all wearing their police uniforms. Officer Fred Tyler was a tall African-American man who had black hair and green eyes while Officer Edward Powell was a stocky Caucasian-American man who had brown hair and blue eyes. On the other hand, the unnamed police officer was a very skinny Englishman who had black hair and brown eyes. After Cedric was cuffed by the unnamed police officer, his money was taken off him and given to Officer Fred Tyler.

As a result Cedric Jamison replied by saying “that’s my money”.

“This is drug money” said Officer Fred Tyler.

“My money, man” replied Cedric.

“Don’t worry about it, I’ll fill it out later” said Officer Edward Powell.

“Anyway, welcome home Cedric. Glad to be back? You haven’t forgotten about us, have you boy?” asked Officer Fred Tyler.

“Hell no, Officer Tyler. I was just wondering what took you so long” replied Cedric.

“Get in the car” said Officer Fred Tyler.

“Ease up, man” replied Cedric.

“Watch your head” said Officer Fred Tyler.

As Officer Fred Tyler puts Cedric in the squad car he bangs Cedric’s head on the roof.

“Oh! My bad” replied Officer Fred Tyler sarcastically.

Officer Edward Powell then gets Cedric’s suitcase and chucks it to the side of the road.

“My bag. Hey man, my bag!” said Cedric desperately.

The three cops then took started to take Cedric on a slight detour.

“How you been, Cedric? How’s your wonderful family?” said Officer Fred Tyler bitterly.

To reply to that insult, Cedric said “I’m here to bury my folks. You know that”.

“Yeah, I guess I do. So what have you been doing in your spare time, Cedric?” asked Officer Fred Tyler.

“Nothing illegal. I’m clean as a whistle” replied Cedric.

“No, you never been clean, Cedric” said Officer Fred Tyler.

“Well what’ve we got here?” asked Officer Edward Powell while picking up a silenced pistol and staring at it.

“This is a weapon, Officer Powell that was used to gun down a police detective not ten minutes ago. Detective Isaiah Reed. A fine man, I might add. You work fast, Cedric” said Officer Fred Tyler.

“You know I just got off a plane!” protested Cedric.

“It’s a good thing we found you and retrieved the murder weapon” said Officer Edward Powell.

“That isn’t my gun” replied Cedric.

“Don’t lie to me, Cedric” said Officer Fred Tyler.

“Yeah, don’t lie to him, Cedric” said Officer Edward Powell.

“What do you want from me this time?” asked Cedric.

“When we want you, we’ll find you. In the meantime, try not to gun down any more officers of the law” replied Officer Fred Tyler.

Officer Edward Powell stopped the police cruiser to allow his superior Officer Fred Tyler throw Cedric out of their police cruiser onto the pavement. When Cedric got up, he realised he was beside Cesar’s Autoservice which was on the border of East Los Angeles which was Crips territory. The Crips and Cedric’s former gang, the Bloods hate each other.

“You can’t leave me here. This is gang territory” protested Cedric.

“I thought you said you was innocent, Cedric? That you aren’t a gangster?” said Officer Fred Tyler.

Officer Edward Powell then spoke into the police radio: “This is car 13… WHAT?!”.

“See you around like a doughnut, Cedric” said Officer Fred Tyler.

Officer Edward Powell continued to talk into his radio: “Detective Isaiah Reed’s down? We’ll be right over”.

Officer Edward Powell started up the police cruiser and started to drive away from the pavement were they dumped Cedric.

As Cedric saw the police cruiser speed down the road he said to himself “Yikes, here we go again. Crips Country. Worst place in America. I haven’t represented the Bloods in five years but the Crips won’t care”.

Cedric thought to himself: if he didn’t get away from this establishment soon, he would be surely spotted by some nearby Crips. To make his escape he would need some transportation. Luckily, a mountain bike was leaning on the wall beside the back entrance’s delivery gate. Cedric hopped on it and started to pedal as fast as he could. On the way to his parents’ house in Compton, Cedric encountered a red Chevrolet. Unfortunately the occupants of the vehicle identified him and swerved their Chevrolet to give chase. Luckily Cedric had the advantage since he was driving a more manoeuvrable vehicle than the chasing Crips. Cedric decided that the only way to lose them was down a small alley where they could get stuck. While pedalling past the Twister tourist attraction in Jefferson Park, he saw the opportunity. Beside it was a small alley which a car like a Chevrolet could get stuck in. Cedric swerved quickly and started to pedal down the small alley. Surprisingly, the Crips did not notice that they were driving straight into a trap. After a few metres into the alley, the Chevrolet and its occupants could not pursue their target anymore. Halfway down the alley, Cedric looked back at the Crips and laughed at them because they could not get out of their vehicle. Cedric remembered that he needed to get home to attend his parents’ funeral. Fortunately, Cedric did not encounter any more distractions on his journey back to his parents’ house. As Cedric was approaching his old neighbourhood, he said to himself “home, sweet, home”. Cedric swerved over to the path leading up to the Jamison Residence. Cedric dismounted from the mountain bike and started to approach his childhood home.

 

Melvin

 

Cedric entered the Jamison Residence. He looked around and saw that the place where he grew up in hadn’t changed. Cedric went over to the mantelpiece above the fireplace and grabbed a picture of his mother and father. Automatically, Cedric started to shift through memories of his young life with his parents. Suddenly, someone entered the house from the backdoor. Cedric turned round to be confronted by a bald and overweight African-American man who had green eyes. He was wearing a blue sweatsuit and was armed with a baseball bat.

“You picked the wrong house, fool!” said the bald and overweight African-American man.

“Melvin Harris! It’s me Cedric” replied Cedric.

The bald and overweight African-American man suddenly embraced Cedric.

“Welcome home” said the bald and overweight African-American man referred to as Melvin Harris.

“Where’s Gary and Lance?” asked Cedric.

“Your brother Gary and your homie Lance are at the cemetery waiting for me to start the funeral. Come on, I’ll take you there. They’ll be so happy to see you” replied Melvin.

Melvin and Cedric left the empty house and entered Melvin’s blue SUV. They both got in and made there way to the cemetery which was situated in Hollywood.

 

Gary & Lance

 

Half an hour later, Cedric and Melvin arrived at the cemetery in Hollywood. They approached Gary Jamison and Lance Wilson who were both standing on one side of the grave. Both men were African-American men. They were both wearing a red shirt, red hoody and blue jeans. Gary Jamison was a tall African-American man who had blond hair and blue eyes while Lance Wilson was a small African-American man who had black hair and green eyes.

“You guys look who I found” shouted Melvin.

Both men looked up and gazed at Cedric.

“Cedric, I should have known” said Lance Wilson.

“I can’t believe there all both gone” said Cedric.

“That’s another funeral you ran away from, fool. Just like Kendal’s” said Gary Jamison.

“Hey they were my parents too” said Cedric.

“This place will be closing soon, we better leave” said Melvin.

“Right you, are” replied Lance.

As the gang of OGs was about to cross the road, a red Chevrolet cruised by and did a drive-by on Melvin’s blue SUV. Suddenly, the blue SUV caught fire from the bullets and blew up. The gang then retreated back into the cemetery to find some cover and shoot at the red Chevrolet. Unfortunately, Cedric had no gun on him so he asked Gary for one. Gary took a silenced pistol out of his leg holster and gave it to Cedric. The gang all found reasonable cover and waited for the red Chevrolet to drive into the cemetery so they could ambush it. Instead of the red Chevrolet, the occupants of it, a quartet of Crips all wearing their gang outfit: blue bandannas and blue clothing armed with MAC-10s ran into the cemetery searching for the gang of OGs. Amazingly, the quartet of Crips ran straight into the ambush. When all four OGs had the quartet of Crips in their sight, they opened fire. The Crips had no time to react meaning they dropped in seconds. After the great ambush, the gang of OGs left the cemetery to get back to their old neighborhood. The only vehicle in sight was the red Chevrolet. The gang decided they would drive down in it until they got to the border of their territory, were they would abandon it and steal an unoccupied Bentley and drive back to the Jamison Residence. Fifteen minutes later, the gang abandoned the red Chevrolet and hijacked an unoccupied green Bentley. Another fifteen minutes later, the gang arrived back outside the Jamison Residence. After Melvin and Lance left to go to their homes, Gary asked “So when you leaving, Cedric?”.

“I’m not sure. Thought I might stay. Things are really messed up” said Cedric.

“Well, the last thing we need is your help” said Gary.

“Blimey man, I won't let you down, I swear” said Cedric.

Both Jamison brothers then went to the local drive-thru to get a takeaway.

 

Cleaning the Hood

 

The next day early in the evening, Cedric visited Gary at his house. Along with Gary there was Melvin and Lance. Cedric suddenly overheard Melvin mentioned something about the power of the drug industry. Cedric butted in and asked if there was a problem. Lance then said “It seems the Crips drug dealers have started to expand into our territory. Nearly half of the gang is now on crack cocaine”.

Suddenly Gary ordered Cedric to wipe out the local drug dealers in the old neighborhood to show the Crips the Bloods mean business. Cedric did as he was told. He left Gary’s house and headed down the street in Gary’s green Bentley. Half an hour later, Cedric arrived outside a house. The house belonged to his childhood friend, Larry Ramirez. Cedric then hopped out of the green Bentley and rang the doorbell. Suddenly, a tall muscular Colombian man answered the door. The tall muscular Colombian man had blond hair and green eyes. He was wearing a brown collared shirt and black pants.

“Larry Ramirez, my man” said Cedric.

“CJ, I’m very glad to see you” said the tall muscular Colombian man referred to as Larry Ramirez.

“It’s mutual. Anyway can you, come with me and eliminate the local drug dealers who are roaming the neighborhood?” asked Cedric.

“I can come definitely” said Larry.

Cedric and Larry then left the house and walked across the street to the house directly opposite Larry’s. The house belonged to Mark, a Blood OG. Cedric and Larry approached the door. Larry rang the doorbell. Suddenly, a junkie answered the door.

“Who are you two?” asked the junkie.

“That doesn’t matter, where is Mark?” asked Cedric.

“Leave me alone” said the junkie.

Larry grabbed hold of the junkie.

“Where’s Mark?” asked Larry.

“He died due to an overdose of drugs” said the junkie.

“You’re lucky” said Larry.

Larry let go of the junkie.

Cedric and Larry then left the junkie’s apartment disappointed but also more motivated to stop the drug dealers. Both men got into the car and started to cruise the neighborhood for a drug dealer. Larry suddenly spotted one standing outside the retail shop. The drug dealer was wearing a black t-shirt and blue jeans. He was also armed with a baseball bat. Cedric pulled over the green Bentley and got out of it along with Cedric. They approached the dealer and started to punch and kick him. When the drug dealer lay dead on the ground, Larry said “CJ, this dude you just killed, is an ex-member of the Crips. He lives beside the dancing club which is in Echo Park”.

Quickly, Larry grabbed the baseball bat and hopped back into the green Bentley along with Cedric. Fifteen minutes later, Cedric and Larry arrived outside the dead drug dealer’s den in Echo Park. When they both entered the dead drug dealer’s den, Cedric and Larry looked around. Bodies of overdosed Crips lay scattered around the dead drug dealer’s den living room. Suddenly, another drug dealer entered the living room from the bedroom. Before leaving the dead drug dealer’s den to go back to their homes, Cedric and Larry killed the other drug dealer and all the overdosed Crips. As Cedric was driving him home, Larry said “Now that crack cocaine is stopped being distributed, maybe the rest of the gang will be ready to deal with the Crips”.

“I hope so” said Cedric.

“Later, hombre” said Larry.

Cedric then dropped Larry outside his house and started his journey round the old neighborhood.

 

Emmett

 

The next day late in the afternoon, Cedric entered Gary’s house to see Melvin playing poker with Gary.

“So, what kind of guns are we working with now?” asked Cedric.

“Cops came through, raided the spot. We haven’t got anything now” said Gary.

“Well what you going to do if the Crips come charging, throw shoes at them? Say, what happened to Emmett?” asked Cedric.

“Emmett? Blimey, gangbangers these days have got Tec-9s etc. Emmett, on the other hand hasn’t got anything” said Gary.

“Well, until we get a new source of weapons, we got to deal with a man that always been there for us” said Cedric.

“I'll take you to see him. Get ourselves some guns. Come on, man” said Melvin.

Both OGs then left Gary alone and headed on their way to Emmett’s gun shop which was located in Willowbrook. En route to Emmett’s gun shop in Willowbrook, Cedric asked Melvin how his parents died. Melvin commented by saying that witnesses saw a red Chevrolet leaving the scene of the drive-by that killed them. Half an hour later after the conversation, Melvin and Cedric arrived outside Emmett’s gun shop. Melvin and Cedric went round to the back of the shop to see a small African-American man who had black hair and blue eyes reloading a MAC-10. The small African-American man was wearing an old army uniform.

“Emmett!” shouted Melvin.

The small African-American man turned round and also shouted “Melvin”.

“Emmett, you know CJ, well anyway Gary would like you to supply him and the gang with some serious firepower so that they can eliminate the Crips” said Melvin.

“Before I supply you with anything, have a look at my stock” said Emmett.

Emmett then pointed over to the trunk of an empty car. Melvin and Cedric approached the car trunk and opened it to see Emmett’s arsenal. Emmett’s arsenal consisted of silenced pistols, shotguns and Tec-9s. Both OGs whispered to each other for a few minutes.

Melvin then said “we’ll take it all”.

“OK, I’ll deliver it to the gang’s old storage warehouse in San Pedro this afternoon” said Emmett.

“Thanks” said Melvin.

Before they left to go back to the old neighborhood, Cedric bought a Tec-9 from Emmett. Half an hour later, Melvin and Cedric arrived back at in Compton. Both of them then went their separate ways home.

 

Drive-By

 

The next day at noon, Cedric visited Gary at his house. Upon arriving he saw Gary, Melvin and Lance leaving the house. As Cedric approached the trio of men, he overhead what Lance was saying.

“I can drive as well as CJ, man, I'm telling you” said Lance.

“Hey, what you saying about me fool?” asked Cedric.

“I'm saying that the East Coast made you drive like an idiot, fool! Man, you always crashing cars. And for some reason, now you back, all it is, is 'CJ drive here, CJ drive there'. Blimey!” said Lance.

“Man, why don't you take it easy” said Gary.

“No disrespect, man, but you can't drive at all!” said Lance.

“Thanks, man. No, no, no, say what you really mean” said Cedric.

“You are such a good gunman, homie, you get to ride shotgun. Show CJ what's going down” said Gary.

“Hey, you know something, you're right. Yeah, CJ, you can drive homie” said Lance.

All four men get into Gary’s green Bentley. Cedric was then ordered by Gary to go over into Echo Park which was Crips territory. Upon entering Echo Park, Gary asked Melvin and Lance “Yeah - Crips territory. You guys ready?”.

“For sure, homie” said Melvin.

“Anything for the gang” said Lance.

Gary, Melvin and Lance then performed various drive-bys on several gangs of Crips. After the numerous drive-bys, Cedric got the car re-sprayed. He then took his brother and his two companions back to the house.

“You're down with the Bloods and the Crips know it, so watch yourself from now on, CJ” said Gary.

“Yeah for sure, you know that. I'll see you all later” said Gary.

While Gary, Melvin and Lance went into the Jamison Residence to watch baseball, Cedric listened to the news: “Gang trouble is on the rise again in Los Angeles. Sources believe it is linked to the rising drugs trade. Also customs officials report a huge influx of Russian mobsters and cheap weapons since the fall of the wall”.

 

Mansion Massacre

 

The next day early in the evening, Cedric got a phone call from Officer Tyler. He ordered Cedric to get to the donut shop in Los Feliz, pronto. Quickly, Cedric hailed a taxi and told the taxi driver to get to the donut shop, immediately. Forty minutes later, Cedric arrived outside the donut shop in Los Feliz. As Cedric was about to enter it, a police cruiser pulled up. All three C.R.A.S.H. got out of it.

“Cedric, let me introduce you to our new recruit, Jeff Holmes” said Officer Powell.

Officer Powell was referring to the other police officer. Cedric and the police officer referred to as Jeff Holmes greeted each other. Officer Fred Tyler then called Cedric over.

“I like the status quo, Cedric. I like having all you junkies doing my job for me - blowing each other's guts all over the sidewalk” said Officer Fred Tyler.

“Junkies?” asked Cedric.

“Now, if it's brought to my attention that one tribe gets an unfair advantage over another that truly troubles me, Cedric” said Officer Fred Tyler.

“So what you saying, man?” asked Cedric.

“I'm saying the Crips have brains, Cedric, they watch the news. I'm saying they're making friends, cutting deals and tooling up for more than drive-bys. Lots of cheap guns coming into America since the fall of the wall, Cedric” said Officer Fred Tyler.

“Man, cut the chitchat, Tyler. Just say what you mean, man” said Cedric.

“Go check out the only villa in Hollywood Hills and you'll see what I mean, Cedric” said Officer Fred Tyler.

“Yeah, OK” said Cedric.

Officer Jeff Holmes then gave Cedric a silenced pistol and a knife.

“Use these items to bypass certain obstacles” said Officer Jeff Holmes.

Cedric then left the three cops standing outside the donut shop and started to make his way to the only villa in Hollywood Hills. An hour later, after being driven to his destination in a taxi, Cedric finally arrived at the villa. He looked at the mansion’s main entrance. It was too heavily guarded and too secure. Cedric decided to do a recon of the mansion perimeter to see if there was any way to get into the grounds unnoticed. Fifteen minutes later, Cedric found what he was looking for. There was a small wooden door at the back of the villa. Cedric suspected it must be for the kitchen staff. Cedric tried the door and amazingly it was unlocked. Cedric decided to proceed with caution from now on or else he might alert the compound guards. After sneaking through the compound grounds for about ten minutes, Cedric was finally approaching the villa itself. Cedric thought security seemed to be a bit lax. Unfortunately, Cedric thought wrong as he was about to sneak past the garage, he heard footsteps approaching. Cedric quickly got out his silenced pistol and loaded it. Suddenly, the garage door opened and a guard stepped out. Cedric took aim at the guard and shot him with his silenced pistol. Cedric then hid the dead body in the parked Rolls Royce which was in the garage. He then continued on with his journey to the villa. After silencing several guards, Cedric managed to sneak into the villa. Fifteen minutes later, after subduing several guards Cedric entered a room on the upper floor of the villa which had a balcony overlooking the meeting place. Cedric sneaked over to the balcony and started to look down. Down in the room were the meeting was taken place was a delegation of Crips and the Russian arms dealer along with two of his personal bodyguards. The delegation of Crips was all armed with MAC-10s while the arms dealer’s two personal bodyguards were armed with pump action shotguns. The Russian arms dealer along with his two personal bodyguards were all wearing white suits. Suddenly, as the meeting was about to start, Cedric got out his Tec-9 and stood up. Cedric took aim at the meeting attendees and fired. Before anyone guarding the meeting room came to investigate the shooting Cedric had fled the scene of the crime. After dodging the alerted guards, Cedric managed to escape from the villa and its grounds onto the main road. Quickly, Cedric hailed a taxi and told the driver to take him to Compton. En route, he listened to the news: “Police still have no leads in the tragic murder of Detective Isaiah Reed whose body was found recently. Reed worked for Internal Affairs and it was believed he was close to uncovering a huge corruption ring within the LAPD”.

 

Catalyst

 

An hour later, Cedric arrived back in Compton. After checking Gary was in which he wasn’t, Cedric went next door to see Lance. Upon entering Lance’s house, Cedric saw Lance ironing some clothes.

“Hey, Lance? Why are you ironing clothes?” asked Cedric.

“Because they are wrinkled with creases” said Lance.

Suddenly Officers Fred Tyler and Edward Powell appeared from behind Cedric.

“Morning, boys” said Officer Fred Tyler.

“Man, who you calling a boy, fool?” asked Lance.

“What should we call you then? Midget?” asked Officer Edward Powell.

“That’s fine by me” said Lance.

“Anyway, there's a train going to make an unscheduled stop just down in Playa del Rey. It's got some weapons on board for you boys” said Officer Fred Tyler.

“Catch you later, homeboys” said Officer Edward Powell.

“Bigmouth” said Lance.

“Oh Cedric, try not to kill any more respected police officers. Please?” asked Officer Fred Tyler.

“Crime has certainly gone up since you have got back, kid” said Officer Edward Powell.

“Just doing my part for the community” said Cedric.

Both corrupt cops then headed back to the police precinct while Cedric and Lance went down to the train track in Playa del Rey via Lance’s removal van. Half an hour later, Cedric and Lance found the train that made an unscheduled stop. It seemed the train had stopped because right that minute National Guardsmen were battling with a squad of Crips. After parking the removal van, Cedric and Lance got out of it and headed over to the hijacked train. After finding reasonable cover, both OGs started to pick off either a National Guardsman or a Blood. After fifteen minutes of intense shooting, Cedric and Lance appeared victorious. Lance then went and got his removal van and parked it beside the hijacked train. Cedric then loaded caches of weapons from the train to the removal van. Cedric and Lance then headed over to his own personal lockup in Pershing Square and stored the removal van in it. Both men then parted ways. Lance went home while Cedric went to visit Melvin who was living in Inglewood.

 

Running Dog

 

An hour later, Cedric arrived outside Melvin’s house in Inglewood. Upon arriving, Cedric saw Melvin polishing his brand new silver Mitsubishi.

“Hey, Melvin” said Cedric.

“CJ, just the man I wanted to see. Look, I have to attend a meeting with two members of the Surenos. They owe me something” said Melvin.

“Alright then, come on” said Cedric.

Cedric then drove Melvin to the meeting point in Santa Monica. Forty minutes later, Cedric and Melvin arrived at the meeting point.

“Here, pull up here, let me do the talking” said Melvin.

Cedric pulled up beside two Surenos. Both were wearing maroon clothing. One was old, the other was young.

“Man, I should have known” said Cedric.

“Hey, my name is Melvin and I want the goods? Capiche?” asked Melvin to the two Surenos.

“Go away” said the older Mexican man.

“What?” asked Cedric.

“Now that isn't nice. Cough up the goods before I blow your brains out all over the patio” said Melvin.

“No way” said the younger Mexican man.

Both Surenos started to walk away to their yellow Saturn.

“Man, let me handle this” said Cedric.

Before exiting the silver Mitsubishi, Cedric was given a baseball bat by Melvin. Cedric then sneaked out of the car and crept up on the older Mexican man. He hit him over the head. The younger Mexican man forgot about the yellow Saturn and started to make a run for it. Cedric then got back into the silver Mitsubishi and did a U-turn. Melvin immediately equipped himself with his Tec-9 and leaned out of the passenger window and fired at the escaping dealer. Luckily some bullets embedded themselves into the body of the young dealer causing him to fall to the ground dead. Cedric then drove Melvin home. Before entering his house, Melvin said to Cedric “Hey, you better clear out, CJ. I don't want those C.R.A.S.H. fools trying to get you into trouble!”.

Cedric replied by saying “Alright, homie”.

Both OGs parted ways. While Melvin entered his house, Cedric headed back to Compton to see if his brother was in.

 

Causing Chaos at the Cemetery

 

Fifteen minutes later, Cedric arrived back at Gary’s house to see him filling his Bentley trunk with weapons.

“Gary, what is happening?” asked Cedric.

“CJ, get this. Tyler just came round and said there is a funeral taking place for one of the Crips we killed the other day. Also he said Kane, a Crip OG would be attending” said Gary.

“So what’s the plan?” asked Cedric.

“The plan is to assassinate him. We need to do something real big. Put the Bloods on the map for good!” said Gary.

“I’ll come along and help you” said Cedric.

“The more the merrier” said Gary.

Gary and Cedric then got into the green Bentley and made their way to the cemetery in Hollywood. On the way to the cemetery, Gary explained to Cedric the plan in full detail. Another half an hour later, the pair of OGs had arrived at the back of the cemetery. Quickly, Gary opened his Toyota trunk to allow Cedric to pick a weapon from his arsenal. After picking their weapons, Cedric and Gary got into place. Fifteen minutes later, a purple Chevrolet drove into the cemetery parking lot. Slowly, Kane the Crip OG got out of it. Kane was a muscular African-American man who had black hair and blue eyes. He was wearing a blue hoody, a blue t-shirt and blue jeans. When Kane and his three bodyguards were crowded around the grave they were visiting, Gary and Cedric made their move. Both Jamison brothers gunned down the trio of bodyguards. Kane then tried to make his escape. Unfortunately for Kane, he tripped over and smashed his head on a burial tomb. Kane then died of blood loss. After the surprising attack on Kane, the pair of OGs headed back to Compton.

“Man, we were a force back there. Keep a low profile and remember we haven't seen each other all day, copy? I'll catch you later, Cedric” Gary.

Both Jamison brothers went their separate ways. While Gary went to visit his girlfriend, Cedric headed to the local newsagent’s.

 

The Red Chevrolet

 

The next day late in the afternoon, Cedric entered Gary’s house to see Gary giving a very emotional speech to his lieutenants who were wearing the Bloods gang’s outfit: red bandannas and red clothing.

“The time has come to teach the Crips a lesson they’ll never forget. Remember the Bloods are king” said Gary.

Gary’s lieutenants then shouted “THE BLOODS ARE KING!”.

“Get armed and meet me in the abandoned lot in Long Beach. It’s time we destroy the Crips once and for all” said Gary.

Gary and Cedric then exited the house to make their own way to the abandoned lot. Halfway en route to the abandoned lot, Larry phoned Cedric and told him to get to the train station’s car park in El Sereno, pronto. Cedric quickly changed direction and headed towards the train station in El Sereno. Half an hour later, Cedric drove into the train station’s car park and saw Larry crouched behind a brown Low-rider. Cedric quietly parked his blue Bentley and quickly approached Cedric by also crouching.

“What’s so important that couldn’t wait, Larry?” asked Cedric.

“This” said Larry.

Larry then pointed over towards a garage opposite the train station’s car park. Cedric looked across the road. Suddenly, a pair of Crips slowly slinked out of the garage’s side entrance. After the two Crips came out Melvin and Lance. Both of them approached the garage’s door and pushed it up. When the garage door was completely open it revealed Officer Fred Tyler and a red Chevrolet.

“That’s the red Chevrolet involved in my parents’ killing” said Cedric astonished.

Both men didn’t speak for several seconds.

Cedric then said to himself “Melvin, Lance… what is C.R.A.S.H. making you two sell us out for!”.

“Sorry, CJ I heard a rumor and poked around. I didn’t believe it myself…” said Larry.

“No, no you did the right thing. I owe you, Larry. I’ve to tell Gary – yikes! Gary! Look get out of the city for a few days!” said Cedric.

“What are you thinking?” asked Larry.

“It’s Gary, I think him and his lieutenants are walking into a trap! Just go!” replied Cedric.

Cedric then quickly left Larry hiding on his own and headed to the ambush in the abandoned lot. An hour later, Cedric arrived at the ambush to see the Bloods battling fiercely with the Crips. Cedric abandoned his blue Bentley and rushed to Gary who was reloading frantically. As Cedric approached Gary, Gary took a bullet and dropped. Cedric quickly said to Gary “How are you?”.

Gary replied by saying “CJ, where you been?”.

Cedric replied by saying “Larry called, showed me something. It’s Melvin and Lance there in deep with C.R.A.S.H. and the Crips! They sold us out!”.

“That doesn’t matter, CJ. You better disappear. The cops will be here any second” said Gary.

Cedric replied by saying “I’m not abandoning you. Crips prepare to die!”.

Cedric quickly grabbed Gary’s AK-47 and started to attack the incoming waves of Crips. Fifteen minutes later, the police showed up. Gary was carted off in a police ambulance while Cedric was arrested by none other than Officers Tyler and Powell. Both officers then drove Cedric out of town to their destination point: San Francisco. En route, they listened to the news: “The street wars between the Crips and the Bloods came to a head recently when several senior Blood OGs were killed while others were incarcerated”.

 

A break from Los Angeles

 

During the drive to San Francisco, Cedric asked “where are we going?”.

Office Tyler replied “Outskirts of San Francisco”.

“Idiotic Melvin! Oh, Gary!” said Cedric.

“Gary is alive. Alive and inside a prison hospital being treated for gunshot wounds while awaiting trial” said Officer Tyler.

“Yeah. Somehow nobody’s caught you yet” said Officer Powell.

“Oh yeah, you should be glad, Cedric. Your moron brother’s alive. You are street trash, soon to be disposed of. Things are going pretty well for you, Cedric. So behave” said Officer Tyler.

“I can’t believe Melvin sold me out” said Cedric.

“Melvin? Melvin does exactly what he’s told. He learned that lesson a long time ago” said Officer Powell.

“Homies for life? Street loyalty? That's all garbage, Cedric. Didn't you learn that when they ran you out of town just because you let Kendal die? Huh? Edward, I can't deal with this guy. He's an idiot!” said Officer Tyler.

“Let me kill him” said Officer Powell.

Officer Powell shoved a gun in Cedric’s face.

“No way, Officer. For once, let's let the kid do something good with his useless life. He's going to help us with the fight against crime. Right, Cedric?” said Officer Tyler.

“Yeah. By any means necessary” said Officer Powell.

“Now you stay away from Melvin and stay away from us. Otherwise Gary is going to find himself on a Crips block getting in touch with his feminine side” said Officer Tyler.

“Get your hands off me” said Cedric to Officer Powell.

Both officers then dumped Cedric outside an abandoned junkyard in San Francisco which was located on the border of the city limits.

First Date

 

After being dumped by the two corrupt cops, Cedric started to head into the centre of San Francisco. An hour later, Cedric entered a diner to get something to eat and drink. After having one drink, Cedric met a tall skinny Colombian woman. She had brown hair and green eyes. She was wearing a white t-shirt which was showing off some tattoos and blue jeans.

“I’m Calita Ramirez” said the tall skinny Colombian woman who called herself Calita Ramirez. “I’m Cedric Jamison” said Cedric.

Cedric enquired if he could stay at her place since he was new in town. Calita agreed. Both man and woman then got drunk and staggered back to Calita’s apartment which was located in Pacific Heights. While drunk, they had sex with each other.

 

Love & Money

 

An hour later, Cedric woke up beside Calita with only his boxers on.

“What happened?” asked Cedric.

Calita then woke up.

“We made love” said Calita.

“I’ll remember now” replied Cedric.

Both man and woman then got dressed.

“I think I love you-” said Calita.

“Cedric” answered Cedric.

“I’m not attracted to you. It was just a one night stand” said Cedric.

Calita then opened her bedside drawer and pulled out a silenced pistol. She pointed it at Cedric’s forehead.

“Hey Calita, baby. It's me, Cedric Jamison. Hey baby, I'm sorry we got off on the wrong foot. I've had a rough time, baby. You know, maybe I was a little harsh. Please forgive me. Come on, baby don't be mad, baby please! Baby, without you, there is no Cedric Jamison” said Cedric.

“Good apology” said Calita.

Calita then lowered her silenced pistol.

“Now let’s go and rob banks” said Calita.

“OK” said Cedric.

Calita and Cedric then left the apartment and headed to the nearby bank in the Financial District. Upon entering the bank, Calita shot the two security guards. She then rounded up the bank manager and the three cashiers while Cedric safe cracked the safe. After loading the safe money into a sports bag given to him by Calita, Cedric got more money off the hostages. Suddenly the bank manager hid behind one of the counters and set off the bank alarm. In the nearby police station, four policemen rushed out of the bank and entered their separate vehicles. Cedric and Calita then made their escape via the back entrance. While heading down the back alley, Cedric and Calita fought off the four policemen who were hiding in alcoves waiting for both of them. Cedric and Calita then hijacked a nearby police cruiser and drove quickly back to their hideout.

“You impress me, Cedric Jamison! Here's your cut, big man” said Calita.

Cedric then left the apartment and headed to the nearby off license were he purchased a bottle of champagne. Cedric then headed back to the apartment. Upon entering he was lured into one of the bedrooms by Calita. Calita then got Cedric drunk. Both man and woman then had sex again.

“Not again” said Cedric.

Calita ignored Cedric and started to have sex with him.

“Ow! Eh! Ooh! Aw! Ouch! Yikes! Blimey!” said Cedric. “Yes! Faster! Harder! Deeper! Oh yes! Yes! Yes!” said Calita.

After having sex, both lovers fell asleep. An hour later, Cedric woke up and got dressed quietly. Silently he left Calita who was still in bed wearing her bra and headed over to the local hospital to get checked out. After learning he hadn’t contracted any sexual transmitted diseases by Calita, Cedric started his journey to San Francisco.

 

King in Exile

 

As Cedric was driving into San Francisco, he got a phone call from Gary. He mentioned to Cedric he was just checking up on him. Gary then hung up. Cedric then got another phone call but it was from Larry. He said to meet at the Xoomer garage in Doherty, pronto. Larry then hung up. Cedric suddenly hijacked a red parked motorbike and made his way to the Xoomer garage. Ten minutes later, Cedric arrived at the Xoomer garage in Doherty. As Cedric was parking the recently hijacked red motorbike, Larry appeared.

“Cedric, welcome to my garage” said Larry.

“What’s so important, Larry?” asked Cedric.

“It’s about the situation back in the old neighborhood” replied Larry.

“What about it?” asked Cedric.

“You know Lance and Melvin are friends with the Crips” said Larry.

“Yes, so?” asked Cedric.

“It seems they use them as muscle for their drug transactions” said Larry.

“Drug transactions?” replied Cedric surprisingly.

“Word on the street is twice a week, they send a car up here and the trunk comes back full of crack cocaine” said Larry.

“I thought Melvin was totally loyal to the gang” said Cedric.

“It seems we all got caught up in a ring of deception” said Larry.

“It seems so” said Cedric.

Cedric then left Larry and headed towards a nearby motel so he could rent a room for the week.

 

Misappropriation

 

The next day early in the evening, Cedric got picked up by Officers Tyler and Powell.

“Hello again, Cedric” said Officer Powell.

“What do you want this time?” asked Cedric.

“We just want you to crash a secret meeting between a courier and the local D.A. and kill them. Also we want you to burn a dossier the D.A. is planning to hand over to the courier” said Officer Tyler.

“Just curiosity where is the meeting taking place?” asked Cedric.

“It takes place inside the art gallery” replied Officer Tyler.

“To help with this errand take this sniper rifle” said Officer Powell.

Officer Powell then gave Cedric a sniper rifle which was concealed inside a leather suitcase. After getting dropped off, Cedric hailed a taxi and told the driver to take him to the art gallery which was situated in Haight-Ashburry. After paying the taxi driver, Cedric rushed into the art gallery to prepare himself for the daring task ahead. After finding a good secretive vantage point for sniping, Cedric opened up the steel-reinforced briefcase and started to construct the sniper rifle concealed inside it. Half an hour later, the courier arrived. After the courier’s arrival, the D.A. arrived flanked by a squad of FBI agents. After both meeting attendees greeted each other the meeting started. Before the D.A. had a chance to hand over the dossier to the courier, Cedric shot both men with two bullets each. After the double assassination, Cedric pulled out his Tec-9 and started to gun down the squad of astonished FBI agents. Seconds later, all of the FBI agents were dead. After abandoning his post, Cedric rushed down to the body of the late D.A. and retrieved the dossier Officers Tyler and Powell wanted burned so badly. In order to burn the dossier, Cedric searched the nearby corpses for a cigarette lighter. Luckily Cedric found a cigarette lighter on the body of the late courier. After checking it was working, Cedric activated the cigarette lighter and put in on top of the dossier making the dossier starting to burn slowly but efficiently. After leaving the art gallery, Cedric decided to do on a jog round the nearby city park.

 

Photo Opportunity

 

The next day late in the afternoon, Cedric headed back towards Larry’s Xoomer garage in Doherty. On the way there, Cedric got a call from Larry. Larry said “Hey, my cousin just called me. He gave me a tip about a Crips emissary going to San Francisco to buy some crack cocaine” said Larry.

“Blimey, we have to find out who’s supplying them” said Cedric.

“I read your mind, hombre so I picked them up at the intersection and I’m trailing them now” said Larry.

“OK, I’m coming to meet you” said Cedric.

“Better make it fast, hombre, this boy isn’t hanging around” said Larry.

Larry then hung up. As Cedric headed to the outskirts of San Francisco he got another phone call from Larry.

“I’ve got car trouble. I’m a mile from San Francisco” said Larry.

“I’ll pick you up” said Cedric.

Cedric then went and picked up Larry.

“Where are we going?” asked Cedric.

“Abandoned construction site in Santa Flora” said Larry.

Cedric then speeded into San Francisco and took the quickest route to Santa Flora.

Ten minutes later, Cedric arrived opposite the abandoned construction site where Larry said the big drug deal was supposed to take place. Both OGs exited the vehicle and approached the abandoned construction site with caution.

“We can identify the drug supplier by taking a picture of him” said Larry. “Picture?” asked Cedric.

Larry suddenly gave Cedric a camera.

“Use this so we can take the drug supplier’s photograph which will allow my friend to give us the name of the drug supplier” said Larry.

“Good idea” replied Cedric.

Quickly, Cedric and Larry got into position. Cedric loaded the camera with film ready to take the drug supplier’s photograph. They noticed a white pickup truck, a black Mercedes and a gold limousine were parked.

“Quite a mixed meeting down there. These guys look organized" said Cedric.

Suddenly, a very muscular Colombian man who had brown hair and brown eyes exited the white pickup truck. The very muscular Colombian man was wearing a striped t-shirt and beige trousers.

“Who’s this guy?” asked Cedric while taking the mystery man’s photograph.

“He’s Rafael Escobar. He is the leader of the Colombian Cartel” said Larry.

Minutes later, a red Bentley drove into the abandoned junkyard and parked beside an empty office. Lance then exited his red Bentley with a silver steel reinforced briefcase.

“Here is our Crips emissary” said Larry.

Lance then exited his red Bentley with a silver steel reinforced briefcase.

“It’s Lance! Oh man, it’s true, the Crips rule over the Bloods” said Cedric.

“This business is bigger than any gang. Someone else is attending!" said Larry.

Suddenly, a slim Caucasian-American man who had brown hair and green eyes exited the black Mercedes. The slim Caucasian-American man was wearing a black suit.

“Who’s he?” asked Cedric while taking the second mystery man’s photograph.

“Don’t know but he’s keeping very quiet. Maybe he is just a bodyguard but I don’t like the look of him” replied Larry.

“Now who’s this guy, I wonder?” asked Cedric.

Suddenly a very plump Eastern European man who had ginger hair and blue eyes exited the gold limousine via the passenger door. The very plump Eastern European man was wearing a pimp suit.

“I know a pimp when I see one” said Cedric while taking the third mystery man’s photograph.

“I agree with you there” replied Larry.

Suddenly, all three mystery men along with Lance walked into one of the two empty offices.

“Let’s go before we’re spotted” said Cedric.

“Good idea” said Larry.

Cedric and Larry got down from their photographing position and exited the abandoned junkyard via the back gate. Larry took the camera from Cedric and headed to get the photographs developed while Cedric headed back to his motel room to get some sleep.

 

Mystery Men Unmasked

 

The next day at noon, Cedric visited Larry at his Xoomer garage in Doherty. When Cedric entered Larry’s office he saw Larry talking to a very slim Chinese man. The very slim Chinese man had black hair and blue eyes. He was wearing a cream suit.

“Larry” said Cedric.

Larry turned and greeted Cedric.

“Cedric, let me introduce you to my friend, Jimmy Wu. Jimmy, here is a very influential businessman with ties to organized crime” said Larry.

Cedric greeted the very slim Chinese man referred to as Jimmy Wu.

“Glad to meet you too” said Jimmy Wu.

“With the introductions out of the way, let me proceed. It seems them three mystery men are all members of a drug-smuggling syndicate called the Jade Syndicate” said Larry.

“What are the names of the three mystery men?” asked Cedric.

“That is where Jimmy comes in. He politely identified the three mystery men for me” said Larry.

Larry took a step sideways and pointed to the three mystery men’s photographs which were all stuck up on the office bulletin board. Larry pointed to the photograph of the slim Caucasian-American man who had brown hair and green eyes.

“Jimmy doesn’t know his name but he knows he is the syndicate’s leader” replied Larry.

Larry then pointed to the photograph of the very muscular Colombian man who had brown hair and brown eyes.

“His name is Rafael Escobar. He’s the syndicate’s muscle” replied Larry.

Larry finally pointed to the photograph of the very plump Eastern European man who had ginger hair and blue eyes.

“Who’s that guy?” asked Cedric.

“That’s Levi. He’s the biggest pimp in town. He helps set up the deals for the syndicate” replied Larry.

“Hey, then he’s my way in. Where can I find him?” asked Cedric.

Jimmy butted in by saying “Levi can be found at his bordello in Juniper Hollow. It is called the Pleasure Dome”.

“Thanks” said Cedric.

Cedric quickly left Larry and Jimmy standing in Larry’s office and made his way to Levi’s bordello.

 

Levi

 

Half an hour later, Cedric arrived at Levi’s bordello in Juniper Hollow. After entering the bordello, Cedric asked the bartender were he could find Levi. The bartender pointed to a door on the far wall beside the stage. Cedric thanked the bartender and approached the door. Cedric knocked and waited for a signal to come it. Suddenly, on the other side of the door a voice said “come in”. Cedric obeyed and walked through the door to a nicely furnished office. Sitting behind a table on a chair was the man from the photograph who was identified as Levi the pimp. He was wearing the same clothes from the big drug deal. There were two things different about Levi, he was smoking a cigar and was guarded by two guards in white suits.

“Hello, can I help you?” asked Levi.

“Yes, I’m looking for a job and a friend of mine mentioned you could do with some extra helpers” said Cedric nicely.

“As a matter of fact, I do need a couple of extra helpers. For me to trust you, you must take out a rival pimp who’s operating in Chinatown. After you complete that task, phone me” said Levi.

“OK” replied Cedric.

“Before you go, what is your name?” asked Levi.

“My name is Cedric” replied Cedric.

Quickly, Cedric left Levi smoking his cigar in his office and exited the Pleasure Dome. Cedric hijacked a passing black Range Rover and headed off to complete his task for Levi. Half an hour later, after finding the rival pimp and killing him, Cedric phoned Levi to report his progress. Levi then gave Cedric another task to do. He wanted two abusive punters in Russian Hill taken out. Ten minutes later, after finding the two abusive punters and killing them, Cedric phoned Levi to report his progress. Levi then gave Cedric another task to do. He wanted a local evangelist assassinated during his preach at a charity event in Palisades. Five minutes later, after finding the evangelist and assassinating him, Cedric phoned Levi to report his progress. Levi thanked Cedric and told him to come back to the bordello tomorrow. After Levi hung up, Cedric headed back to his motel room to get some sleep.

 

Rafael Escobar

 

The next day late in the afternoon, Cedric arrived at Levi’s bordello in Juniper Hollow. He entered Levi’s office to overhear Levi having a lively discussion about percentages to the man identified from the big drug deal as Rafael Escobar. He was wearing the same clothes from the big drug deal. When Cedric shut the office door, Levi said to Rafael Escobar “this is the guy I was talking about. Cedric – Rafael Escobar and in reverse”.

“How are you?” asked Cedric.

“Well, hombre” replied Rafael Escobar.

“Don’t mind him we go way back” said Levi.

“Hey Levi, don’t be such a liability” said Rafael.

“Liability? Liability for what? Now, there are 3 of us and me getting 20%. What type of math is that? That’s fool’s math, my friend! You and Martin. I’d sell my soul to you guys and that’s what it’s going to come down to, huh? I’m losing 13%!” said Levi.

Rafael replied by saying “You knew the deal. You agreed. Besides, we could have said 5% and what would you…?”.

“And what? Cat got your tongue? You’re as bad at talking as you are at maths?” said Levi.

“Hey, you want to make this conversation personal, hombre?” said Rafael.

Suddenly his mobile started to ring. He answered it.

“Hello. Yeah what? Yikes! Hey, my friend I have to go” said Rafael.

Rafael then hung up.

“Oh no, you don’t! I invented that trick. What do you mean the shipment been ambushed? We can’t just go out there my friend, it could be a DEA trap!” said Levi.

Rafael got up and said to Cedric “come on”.

Cedric followed Rafael he exited the office then the bordello itself. Quickly Cedric got into the passenger seat of Rafael’s white pickup truck while Rafael got into the driver’s seat. En route to the ambush point, Cedric had a very intellectual conversation with Rafael. Fifteen minutes later; both men arrived at the ambush point in King’s to see two hippies approaching the van holding the ambushed shipment. Cedric and Rafael quickly hopped out of the white pickup truck and approached the two occupied hippies.

“What’re you two doing?” asked Rafael.

Immediately, the two hippies stopped what they were doing and turned round to face Cedric and Rafael. Before they had a chance to whip out any weapons, they were instantly killed by Rafael who was armed with an AK-47.

“Good shot” said Cedric amazingly.

“Thanks” replied Rafael.

“Cedric, you check those guys are dead while I’ll phone for backup” said Rafael.

Cedric obeyed and approached the bodies of the two dead hippies. After making sure the dead hippies were permanently silenced, Cedric witnessed a blue Chrysler arrive at the ambushed point. The driver of the Chrysler got out of his vehicle and approached Rafael. As he approached Rafael, Cedric overheard a conversation between Rafael and the driver of the Chrysler.

Rafael was saying “drive the van back to the factory”.

Suddenly, the driver of the Chrysler hopped into the van holding the ambushed shipment and drove away. Quickly after the van’s departure, Rafael hopped into his white pickup truck and drove away leaving Cedric stranded alone at the ambush point with the only means of transportation: a hippie van. Cedric decided to use the hippie van to get back to his motel room so he could get some sleep.

 

Martin Taggart

 

The next day at noon, Cedric arrived at Levi’s bordello in Juniper Hollow. He entered Levi’s office to see Levi say to Rafael “My friend, take a chill pill”.

Rafael replied by saying “Hey, Levi, open your eyes. Can’t you see we’re getting messed with here?”.

Levi then noticed Cedric. “Hey, partner! My friend, look its Cedric. Now he’s a real hero out there. See? We’re still good” said Levi.

“Are you stupid? Someone’s onto us. We need to go back and rethink” said Rafael.

Cedric butted in by saying “I think they were just trying their luck”.

Suddenly, Rafael’s mobile started to ring. He answered it. “Martin? Martin! I’ve been trying to contact you. What? Oh man. Where are you?” asked Rafael. Rafael then hung up. “Hey, Levi, Martin’s in trouble. Let’s go” ordered Rafael.

“What trouble? Also who is Martin?” asked Cedric.

“Martin’s our boss” replied Levi.

Cedric and Rafael exited Levi’s office then the bordello itself. Quickly Cedric got into the passenger seat of Rafael’s white pickup truck while Rafael got into the driver’s seat. En route to the kidnapping point, Cedric turned on the radio and listened to some music. Fifteen minutes later, both men arrived at the kidnapping point in Battery Point to see the kidnappers’ vehicle speeding away to its destination. Rafael started up his white pickup truck again and gave chase. After a few twists and turns, the kidnappers’ vehicle accidentally turned into a dead end. Suddenly, Cedric and Rafael hopped out of the white pickup truck and rushed towards the kidnappers’ vehicle van. Both men simultaneously yanked out the hijacker and his accomplice out of the kidnappers’ vehicle and killed them. Rafael then opened the back door of the kidnappers’ vehicle to let the slim Caucasian-American man from the big drug deal who had brown hair and green eyes hop out. He was wearing the same clothes from the big drug deal.

“Mr. Taggart, Martin!” said Rafael.

“About time, my friend. Who is he?” asked the slim Caucasian-American man who had brown hair and green eyes while pointing to Cedric.

“Hey, that’s Levi’s new handyman” said Rafael.

“I’m Martin Taggart” said the slim Caucasian-American man.

“Whatever but our first priority is to take the van back to the factory” said Martin Taggart.

Rafael obeyed by hopping into his white pickup truck and reversing it back into a side alley. He then abandoned it and took control of the kidnappers’ vehicle.

“You take the white pickup truck and follow us to the factory” said Martin.

“Yes, sir” said Cedric.

Martin then got into the passenger seat of the kidnappers’ vehicle. Quickly, Cedric hopped into Rafael’s white pickup truck and started its engine. Seconds later, the kidnappers’ vehicle reversed past the side alley and straightened up on the main road. Cedric started to follow the kidnappers’ vehicle to the factory. Half an hour later, Cedric followed the kidnappers’ vehicle to Hunters Point. They then went into a high-walled compound. Martin exited the kidnappers’ vehicle and said to Cedric “stay away from me and my associates for a couple of days”.

Cedric obeyed and walked out of the high-walled compound. As he walked out of the high-walled compound, a gate started to slide close which Cedric guessed was used to keep intruders out. After hailing down a taxi, Cedric decided to head towards the local drive-thru to get a takeaway.

 

Outrider

 

The next day early in the evening, Levi phoned Cedric telling him to meet his associates at the car showroom in Ocean Beach. Levi then hung up. Fifteen minutes later, Cedric met Martin and Rafael outside the car showroom in Ocean Beach.

“What’s happening” asked Cedric.

“We have to go meet this shipment. We're late as it is. Let's go!” said Martin.

Rafael then drove Cedric and Martin to the warehouse were the shipment van was supposedly parked.

“Get out and grab a bike. This shipment has to get to the factory. You make sure it does, we make it worth your while. We're watching you, kid” said Martin.

Cedric then headed over to the motorbike parked beside the shipment van. After acquiring the rocket launcher that was placed nearby for him, Carl got on the bike and headed out of the warehouse’s compound. En route to the factory, Cedric had to blow up several roadblocks. After escorting the shipment van into the factory’s compound, Cedric headed to the local gym to improve his physique.

 

Pump Action Pimp

 

Two days later late in the afternoon, Jimmy Wu phoned Cedric to tell him a meeting between the Jade Syndicate and Lance was supposed to be taking place later that day at a designated spot in the city. Jimmy also mentioned that Levi the guy who setups the deals for the Jade Syndicate would know the designated meeting point. Jimmy then hung up. Quickly, Cedric commandeered a passing red Mercedes and proceeded towards Levi’s bordello. Fifteen minutes later, Cedric arrived at Levi’s bordello which was situated in Juniper Hollow. He was about to enter the bordello when the doorman said “invitation only, sir”.

Suddenly, Cedric got out his silenced pistol and shot the rude doorman. Before entering the bordello itself, Cedric took the pump action shotgun from the late doorman. When he entered the bordello itself, Cedric was instantly attacked by multiple waves of security guards. After fending off those unexpected attacks, Cedric kicked down the door to Levi’s office and killed Levi’s two personal bodyguards. Cedric then approached Levi and pointed the barrel of the shotgun into Levi’s face.

“What do you want, Cedric?” asked a frightened Levi.

“I want to know the location of the meeting between your associates and the Crips” replied Cedric.

“The meeting is taking place at Pier 69 in Fisherman’s Wharf” answered a still frightened Levi.

Cedric lowered his pump action shotgun and aimed at Levi’s heart. Seconds later, Cedric killed Levi with two blasts from his pump action shotgun. Quickly, Cedric exited the bordello and made his way to Pier 69. En route to the meeting place, Cedric phoned Larry and told him to meet him at Pier 69.

 

Pier 69

 

Forty minutes later, Cedric parked his red Mercedes opposite Pier 69 in Fisherman’s Wharf. Suddenly, Cedric heard a familiar voice say “CJ, I’m up here”. Cedric got out of his red Mercedes and saw Larry waving at him from the roof of a building which was built directly opposite Pier 69. Quickly, Cedric went up the stairs connected to the roof of the building and met Larry.

“Hey man” said Cedric.

Larry suddenly passed Cedric a sniper rifle.

“So, what’s up with Levi?” asked Larry.

“Dead. So, what’s the plan?” replied Cedric.

“Rafael’s security got here real early. He has got men on the roofs watching the pier” said Larry.

Suddenly his mobile started to ring. He answered it.

“Eh. OK, yeah, I see you” said Larry.

Larry then turned off his mobile.

“That was Jimmy, his men are in place. Look down at the side entrance” said Larry.

Cedric looked down at the pier’s side entrance and saw Jimmy’s henchmen armed with M4 Carbines heading up onto the roof.

“Yikes, they’re heading up to the roof!” said Cedric.

“Yikes! We’ll have to take out Rafael’s security on the rooftops before this whole ambush blows wide open!” said Larry.

Cedric loaded his sniper rifle and started to snipe the pier’s rooftop sentries.

“Here is Rafael” said Larry.

Suddenly down at the waterfront, Rafael arrived in his white pickup truck along with two green Chryslers full of Colombian Cartel commandos. The Colombian Cartel commandos got out of the two green Chryslers. All of the Colombian Cartel commandos were wearing khaki outfits.

“And here’s that snake Lance” said Cedric.

After Rafael’s arrival, Lance arrived with an entourage of Crips at the meeting place.

“Look at Lance the fool, hanging out with the Crips like they was life long pals. Something isn’t right. Where’s Taggart?” said Cedric.

“Chopper inbound!” said Larry.

“That has to be Taggart. Yikes, he’ll see the bodies on the rooftops!” said Cedric.

“Too late, man, he’s escaping” replied Larry.

Suddenly, the chopper stopped its descent to ground level and hovered in mid air for a few minutes. Suddenly, the occupants of the chopper dropped tear gas canisters before flying away from the pier.

“Smoke grenades! So much for a surprise, we have to take these fools out now!” said Cedric.

Both OGs abandoned their sniping position and started their descent to ground level. When they reached ground level, Cedric and Larry started to run across to the entrance to Pier 69. Five minutes after weaving in and out of a traffic jam, Cedric and Larry arrived at the entrance to Pier 69 to see Jimmy’s henchmen decimating the Colombian Cartel commandos. As they reached the waterfront, Cedric and Larry saw Rafael commit suicide. Both OGs then watched as Lance got into a speedboat which was docked at the pier’s jetty and drove away no doubt, back to Los Angeles. After thanking Jimmy’s henchmen for their help, Cedric and Larry decided to do to the local snooker hall to play some snooker.

 

Cremating Taggart and His Chopper

 

The next day early in the evening, Jimmy phoned Cedric and said “CJ, it’s Jimmy, I’ve got some information for you about Martin Taggart”.

Quickly, after learning Martin was planning to escape from the authorities via chopper, Cedric commandeered a passing blue motorcycle and preceded to the helipad in Embarcadero which Jimmy said were the chopper was located. Twenty minutes later, Cedric arrived at the helipad in Embarcadero to see a chopper preparing to takeoff. Immediately, Cedric dismounted from his blue motorcycle and dashed for the steps leading up to the helipad. After killing a pair of heavy armed guards, Cedric finally reached the helipad to see the chopper takeoff and head off in the direction of the freeway. Quickly, Cedric grabbed a rocket launcher from one of the two late heavily armed guards and aimed it at the escaping chopper. After two precise hits, the chopper exploded in mid air sending the remaining debris into the bay.

“Excellent! Taggart couldn’t have survived that fireball” said Cedric.

Cedric decided to head to the local betting shop to bet on some racehorses.

 

Factory Fire

 

The next day late in the afternoon, Cedric decided to visit Larry at his garage. Upon his arrival at the garage, Cedric found Larry talking to Jimmy. Larry stopped talking to Jimmy and said to Cedric “you’re a hero back home”.

“Not in my neighborhood. Things are messed up. Man, I’ve got friends I used to play with that turn their back on me, over crack cocaine” replied Cedric.

“Yeah, well what are you going to do, huh?” asked Larry.

“Silly Lance man! That was my friend and I’ve killed him” said Cedric.

“He deserved it ever since he tried to kill me. Did you know that?” asked Larry.

“No. For real? Yikes. Maybe you’re right, then man. But…” said Cedric.

“Cheer up. You’re going soft on me, man. You did something good, eh?” replied Larry.

Jimmy butted in.

“Yes, you did. But this isn’t over yet” said Jimmy.

“What do you mean?” asked Cedric.

“Well, your former friends have a factory down in Hunters Point. The way I see it, if you take that out you will put them out of business for good” replied Jimmy.

Quickly, Cedric left Larry and Jimmy to continue talking again to each other. After getting outside, Cedric hijacked a black dirt bike which was leaning against the wall beside Larry’s garage main entrance. Half an hour later, Cedric arrived outside the perimeter of the high-walled compound which no doubt had the factory inside it premises. After waiting for about five minutes, the gate into the factory compound opened to let a green van drive out. Cedric saw this as a perfect opportunity to drive into the factory compound. After entering the high-walled compound and gunning down a pair of sentries, Cedric started to make his way to the factory which he guessed was at the back of the compound. As he approached the factory itself, some of the Colombian Cartel commandos which were protecting the factory started to fire at Cedric. Immediately, Cedric dismounted from his black dirt bike and equipped his pump action shotgun. Quickly, Cedric gunned down the Colombian Cartel commandos. He then made a dash for the main entrance to the factory. After bursting through the factory’s main entrance double doors, Cedric started to pick off the numerous workers which were all scattered across the factory interior. After the last worker dropped, Cedric quickly examined the factory before substantial reinforcements arrive. After a good look round the factory interior, Cedric found some explosives. He carefully placed the explosives on a pair of red explosive barrels which were stacked beside the factory’s chemical containers. After setting the timer for 40 seconds, Cedric quickly sprinted out of the factory to a safe distance. Suddenly, the factory exploded causing a massive fire to start. Cedric advised himself to get out of the compound before the emergency services arrive and question him on what had happened. After reclaiming his black dirt bike, Cedric set a course for the factory compound’s gate. As Cedric drove up to the gate, an orange Chrysler drove into the factory compound. Quickly, Cedric performed a drive-by on the orange Chrysler which allowed him to escape onto the main road. Immediately after his escape from the factory compound, Cedric got a phone call from Jimmy telling him to come to the betting shop in Reno, pronto. With nothing else to do in San Francisco, Cedric headed to the airport to board a plan for Reno. En route, he listened to the news: “Police are celebrating the removal of a major crack-cocaine ring by undercover police that has virtually stopped the flow of drugs into Los Angeles”.

 

To Be Continued

 

[Leprechaun]

Purple Dragons

 

An hour later, Cedric arrived outside the betting shop which was located in the Sparks District, Reno. He dismounted from his black dirt bike and entered the betting shop. Upon entering he was guided to the manager’s office. Inside the manager’s office, there was Jimmy Wu and another Chinese man. The other Chinese man was muscular. He had black hair and green eyes. He was wearing a cream suit.

“Jimmy!” said Cedric.

“Hello, Cedric” said Jimmy.

“Hey, what's happening Jimmy?” asked Cedric.

“Straight to the facts; I can't use your help unless I'm open with you about who I am and what I do. Let me re-introduce myself. I am Jimmy Wu, the leader of the Purple Dragons” said Jimmy.

“Nice to meet you” said Cedric.

“Likewise. Why don't you sit down? As Dai Lo of the Triad, it is my responsibility to see that disputes are settled without damaging important business” said Jimmy.

“Where I come in at?” asked Cedric.

“We shall see. I'm about to drop in on a local Triad that failed to show face at the last Triad meeting. Come with me, and you'll see how we Triads settle things without recourse to unnecessary violence” said Jimmy.

“Alright, I'll ride with you. But answer my question first” said Cedric.

“What question is that?” asked Jimmy.

“Who is he?” asked Cedric referring to the muscular Chinese man.

“That is Feng, my assistant” replied Jimmy.

Cedric and Jimmy then exited the manager’s office then the betting shop itself. Cedric and Jimmy then got into Jimmy’s green Toyota. Cedric then drove Jimmy to the storehouse which was located in the Northwest Reno District. Half an hour later after parking the car, Cedric and Jimmy went round to the main entrance of the storehouse. After passing through a security gate, Cedric and Jimmy stumbled upon a bloodbath. Lying on the ground were numerous dead Triads.

“The Golden Grasshoppers have been wiped out!” said Jimmy astonished.

Suddenly an unhurt Triad appeared from behind a dumpster.

“Dai Lo! Forgive me, I was too scared to fight, so I hid” said the Triad.

“Enough! What happened here?” asked Jimmy.

“Local biker gang called the Hells Angels surprised us, cut us all down. Yikes, here they come again!” said the Triad.

Cedric and Jimmy turned round and saw two Harleys appear. Two bikers each were on the two separate Harleys. All four bikers were wearing black leather jackets, tattered blue jeans and helmets. The four bikers then equipped themselves with silenced pistols. Before the four bikers had a chance to fire off a round, the unhurt Triad killed them with his MAC-10. Cedric, Jimmy and the unhurt Triad then got into Jimmy’s green Toyota. Upon arriving outside the betting shop, the unhurt Triad protected Jimmy as he walked over to the betting shop. Cedric then headed to the local motel to rent himself a room for a few days.

 

Mr. Wong and His Withdrawal

 

The next day at noon, Cedric arrived outside the betting shop. After entering the betting shop, Cedric immediately headed to the manager’s office. Upon entering Cedric saw Jimmy had a visitor. The visitor was a very plump Chinese man who had black hair and green eyes. The very plump Chinese man was wearing a cream suit.

“Hey, Jimmy, my man, what's going down?” asked Cedric.

“Hey CJ. Let me introduce you to Mr. Wong. He heads the Triads in Chinatown, New York” said Jimmy.

“How are you doing?” asked Cedric.

The very plump Chinese man referred to as Mr. Wong just grunted.

“An associate has sent bad news from California” said Jimmy.

“Bad news?” asked Cedric.

“It seems a biker gang called Hells Angels is preparing to move to Reno. This may explain the cowardly attack on the Golden Grasshoppers” said Jimmy.

Mr. Wong grunted again.

“There may be some trouble ahead” said Jimmy.

Suddenly a Triad rushed into the office.

“Sir, I have terrible news. The Hells Angels are watching the shop. I think they are planning to attempt an assassination on Mr. Wong” said the Triad.

“Hey, what's the big deal? Why don't you cruise on out of here lead them to a place quiet and kill them hooligans - no offence” said Cedric.

“None taken” said Jimmy.

“Look, as long as they think Mr. Wong here is in the back, they will follow me wherever. After a while, you can come out safely – simple” said Cedric.

“Brilliant idea” said Jimmy.

Cedric then exited the manager’s office and went to the garage adjacent to the shop via a door in the shop. Cedric then got into Mr. Wong’s yellow Toyota. After getting the garage mechanic to open the garage door, Cedric drove off with the bikers in pursuit. After leading the bikers out to the Spanish Springs District, Cedric pulled into the nearby gas station and phoned the betting shop. After learning Mr. Wong had gotten out of Reno safely, Cedric hung up. Suddenly one of the bikers pulled up to the yellow Toyota and looked inside.

“It’s a decoy. Return to the betting shop!” said the biker.

The bikers then headed back to the betting shop. As the bikers did that, Cedric went to his hideout to have a meal. En route, he listened to the news: “Gang trouble in Reno is on the rise with problems developing between the Triads and the bikers”.

 

Cougar and Zeppelin

 

The next day early in the evening, Cedric got ambushed on the way to the betting shop by bikers from Hells Angels. They took him to a warehouse which was located in the Downtown District. There Cedric met the two head bikers. One of the senior bikers was a tall muscular Caucasian-American man who had blond hair, blue eyes and a blond beard while the other was a small stout Caucasian-American man who had brown hair, black eyes and a brown beard. Both senior bikers were wearing a biker’s outfit.

“What’s happening?” asked Cedric.

“Relax. This isn't a parade, pal. But, you know, we got to be careful. My name is Cougar and this is Zeppelin. How you doing?” asked the biker who had blond hair, blue eyes and a blond beard.

“Why was I kidnapped?” asked Cedric.

“Listen, out here we like to race. We want you to race us. If we win you tell your Chinese associates to move out but if you win my gang will go back to California” said the other biker who had brown hair, black eyes and a brown beard.

“OK, you’ve got yourself a deal” said Cedric.

Cedric, Cougar and Zeppelin then went outside. A checkpoint race had been set up. All three men got on Harleys. Five minutes later, the race began. After doing three laps of the checkpoint race the quickest, Cedric managed to win. After Cedric had won, Cougar and Zeppelin approached him.

“You ride with style and we never mind losing to a guy who's willing to push himself right to the edge. As for us, we are men who honor their bets” said Cougar the biker.

“Listen, its best if we clear the hell out of here as soon as possible because, for some reason, the local police don't appreciate our noble sport” said Zeppelin the biker.

All three men went their separate ways. In order to get back to his motel room, Cedric managed to keep and use the Harley he rode in the checkpoint race.

 

Farewell My Love…

 

The next day late in the afternoon, Cedric got a phone call from Calita. She requested to race with him down at the old racetrack. After hanging up, Cedric headed over to the old racetrack. Upon arriving, Cedric witnessed Calita kissing a tall muscular Caucasian-American man who had black hair and blue eyes. The tall muscular Caucasian-American man was wearing a brown leather jacket, a blue t-shirt and blue jeans. After getting out of his car, Cedric saw Calita stomp over and hit his car with a crowbar.

“Why did you do that?” asked Cedric.

“I did it as payback for leaving me. You prefer riding a Harley than lying in bed with me. Don’t deny it. I know about the checkpoint race” said Calita.

“Leave my car alone. Can’t we work this out?” lied Cedric.

“No, it is too late. I have a new lover” said Calita.

“Then why did you have to hit the car?” asked Cedric.

“I cannot keep my passions holed, they need a release. That was a good release, like hitting a man with a frying pan while he sleeps. CEDRIC, THIS is my new man” said Calita.

Calita pointed over to the man she kissed earlier.

“His name is Carl Silverman. Are you jealous? Will you fight for me?” asked Calita.

“No, no, I can take rejection” said Cedric.

“You are jealous and a coward. Let’s race” said Calita.

Cedric then raced Calita’s new lover, Carl Silverman. Cedric won due to brilliant driving maneuvers.

“You had the unfair advantage!” said Calita.

“Being a better driver isn't any unfair advantage” said Cedric.

“You think you're clever, but it is you who is missing the point! Not only was he racing, but he was satisfying me, fully! What are you going to say about that?” asked Calita.

“The advantage of a stick shift, I guess. Yeah whatever, anyway, man, what is it, cash?” asked Cedric.

“There you go!” said Calita.

Calita handed Cedric a slip of paper.

“Goodbye Cedric, I will NOT be missing you!” said Calita.

“Hey, wait a minute! What is this?” asked Cedric.

“The deed to a garage in town. My lover needs his car so we can go to New York” said Calita.

“New York? Yeah, whatever have a good time” said Cedric.

“I will” said Calita.

“Go, I won't be missing you” said Cedric.

Calita and Carl Silverman then headed off on their journey to New York. Meanwhile Cedric headed over to his newly-acquired garage which was situated down at the docks. Cedric entered the garage to find it was a complete dump.

“Blimey! That snake without a tongue! Gave me this dump instead of cash? I must be the biggest idiot in the whole world!” said Cedric to himself.

Cedric then got a phone call from his old college roommate, Sean Wilson telling him to come to the amusement park down at the beach. After Sean had hung up, Cedric headed down to the amusement park which was located down at the beach.

 

Chico’s Rhyme Book

 

Half an hour later, Cedric pulled up beside the amusement park. Upon his arrival, Sean Wilson who was a fat African-American man and who had black hair and blue eyes appeared. He was wearing a blue hoody, a blue t-shirt and blue jeans.

“Hey, what's happening, Sean?” asked Cedric.

“Hey, Cedric. What’s up, man?” asked Sean Wilson.

“Nothing much” said Cedric.

“Anyway I going to join the music industry as a rapper” said Sean Wilson.

“Hey, dude - you ever thought about getting a writer to help you out with your songs?” asked Cedric.

“Yeah, I did. But who, homie, who?” asked Sean Wilson.

“Blimey, I’m not in the rap game, you know, that isn't my thing. But we'll have to think about something, man” said Cedric.

“How about if I get somebody to write something for me, only they know about it?” asked Sean Wilson.

“What?” asked Cedric.

“I think I just might have found a writer. I'll become the singer, 24-7! Chico's rhyme book! From his home in the hills!” said Sean Wilson.

“Chico's rhyme book?” asked Cedric.

“Man, you said you'd help, Cedric. Come on, man” said Sean Wilson.

“I'll do anything for you homie. I swear that. OK?” said Cedric.

Cedric then left the amusement park and headed up to Chico’s mansion. After sneaking into the mansion and subduing the patrolling guards, Cedric nabbed Chico’s rhyme book. Cedric then headed back to the amusement park.

“Hey Sean, I got what you wanted” said Cedric.

Cedric then gave Sean Wilson, Chico’s rhyme book.

“Tyler, you ice cold, dude!” said Sean Wilson.

“Hey, I'll catch you later” said Cedric.

“Peace, homie!” said Sean Wilson.

Cedric then left the amusement park and headed to the local drive-thru to get something to eat.

 

Management Issues

 

The next day at noon, Cedric arrived at the amusement park. Upon his arrival, Cedric was met by Sean Wilson.

“What’s up, Sean?” asked Cedric.

“CJ. What's up, homie? Hey, my bladder is so tight right now, it's about to bust!” said Sean Wilson.

“So you happy now, homie?” asked Cedric.

“Happy? Man, hell, no. I can't take this for much longer. Man, I'm an artist! I'd rather be inside! Man, I can't get a deal for nothing. White supremacists always want to keep a black man down and Chico’s manager is putting it on me real heavy, man. He is cramping my style for real” said Sean Wilson.

“Heavy? Man, he's five foot three” said Cedric.

“But that fool strong. Man, we got to take him out. He has gone and blackmailed me, man. I can't get in the game no way. I told you I'm an artist, a communicator and nobody can even hear my message. He's going around, telling everybody I'm on marijuana” said Sean Wilson.

“Well, he obviously hasn't heard your new songs. Those songs are outrageous” said Cedric.

“That's what I'm talking about, man. Down, with a frown, on the town, a sad clown” said Sean Wilson.

“Alright, so what you want me to do?” asked Cedric

“I want you to take that white supremacist out!” said Sean Wilson.

“Where?” asked Cedric.

“At an awards ceremony he’s attending and that's the only time he leaves Chico's side” said Sean Wilson.

Cedric then left the amusement park and headed over to the awards ceremony. Fifteen minutes later, Cedric parked across the street from the awards ceremony. Cedric then got out of his vehicle and climbed up a nearby fire escape to the roof of the building opposite the awards ceremony. Forty minutes later, Chico’s manager exited the awards ceremony with an entourage of bodyguards. Cedric equipped himself with his sniper rifle and took aim. As Chico’s manager stopped to have a cigarette, Cedric fired two times at the head of Chico’s manager. Immediately after the two bodies got embedded in his body, Chico’s manager collapsed to the ground dead. Cedric then made his quick escape back to the amusement park. Upon arriving, Cedric was greeted by Sean Wilson.

“I took care of Chico’s manager” said Cedric.

“Good. Now I’m on the road to stardom” said Sean Wilson.

“I hope you fulfill your ambition” said Cedric.

“Me too” said Sean Wilson.

Both friends said their goodbyes and parted. After watching Sean Wilson depart, Cedric got a phone call from a mysterious man who was requesting his presence at a farm outside Tucson, pronto. The mysterious man commented he had information for Cedric about Gary, his brother. With nothing else to do in Reno, Cedric exited the rundown garage and headed to the airport to board a plane for Tucson. En route, he listened to the news: “Manager of the rapper Chico had been found murdered! The brutal murder remains unsolved. Police suspect foul play”.

 

Highjack

 

An hour later, Cedric arrived outside the farm which was located on the outskirts of Tucson. He dismounted from his black dirt bike and entered the farmhouse. As Cedric entered the lobby, out of the shadow came a supposedly dead person: Martin Taggart.

“Hey, Cedric” said Martin.

“Hey, what the heck! Hey, Taggart I told you my bad, man. What the hell can I say? I screwed you over” said Cedric.

“Calm down, kid” said Martin.

“Just go ahead and kill me then” said Cedric.

“Calm down!” ordered Martin.

“Man, you aren’t nothing but a drug dealer anyway, Taggart” said Cedric.

“Shut up and sit down! What, you think I'm a drug dealer? You think you're a crusader for good? Do you have any idea what's going on? Any idea whatsoever? Do you? DO YOU?” asked Martin.

“No. I pay as little attention to things as possible” said Cedric.

“Do not be a smart-ass with me. I work for the CIA. It is not important which one. I will try not to confuse you. Yes, when we last met, I was involved in battling threats in Latin America, BY ANY MEANS NECCESSARY. That does not make me a drug dealer. Now, the money that we raised, the friends that we won over, have helped us immeasurably in our overseas interests” said Martin.

“Government agency?” asked Cedric.

“Kids like you. You expect heroes. We're fighting a war out there. I'll be a hero and I'll lose and what'll we have? Communism in Ohio. People sharing. Nobody buying stuff. That kind of thing. So relax and listen” said Martin.

“Alright, alright, I'm listening” said Cedric.

“I know what kind of a guy you are. I need a guy like you. To do things I can't get caught doing” said Martin.

“Like what?” asked Cedric.

“I need you to commandeer a truck down at the docks. A rival agency with a confused social agenda. They got things that we need. Remember, I'll be watching you” said Martin.

Cedric then left the farmhouse and headed down to the docks in Tucson. As he entered the docks, Cedric noticed there were government agents patrolling the area. Cedric took some cover and took out his sniper rifle. He sniped the patrolling government agents. He then commandeered the truck and drove it back to Martin’s farm. Upon entering the farm, a security guard took over for Cedric and drove it into a nearby warehouse. Cedric then entered the farmhouse.

 

Interdiction

 

Cedric entered the office in the farmhouse and saw Martin sitting on a sofa. “Hey. With you being a government agent what do you know about my brother?” asked Cedric.

“Relax. He's in prison up state, D Wing. Cell 13. To the left I got a child killer who wants to rip his throat out. To the right of him I got a white supremacist who wants to eat his heart to be precise. Now don't worry. Tyler and Powell are really relatively benign. Unless of course you're a family member of Detective Marcus Reed whom they shot when he threatened to expose them. But you do know all about that, right?” asked Martin.

“Blimey. Hey, man, how do you know all this stuff, man and why don't you stop it?” asked Cedric.

“You just don't understand, do you kid. It's all white knights and heroes. We have to make decisions, kid. You know, I try to set bad people on other bad people. And sometimes, I let good guys die. He's your brother, but to me he's just collateral. It's a very delicate decision. Over here, you got all the wiseguys inside the country and over here; you got all the wiseguys outside the country. And me and my colleagues. We're the pivot. Keep the government in work. Which reminds me I need you to head over to Phoenix and collect my precious package” said Martin.

“Hey, hold up. What about my brother? And all that stuff you was talking about?” asked Cedric.

“Don't worry, Gary's just fine. He gets touched; a prison guard goes home and finds that his wife and kids have been murdered. Everything's under control. We'll talk later. Now, come on, get out of here” said Martin.

Cedric then left the farmhouse and headed over to Phoenix. As he entered the meeting area, Cedric noticed there were government agents patrolling the area. Cedric took some cover and took out his silenced pistol. He gunned down the patrolling government agents. He then met the courier and retrieved Martin’s precious package. He then commandeered a passing dune buggy and drove back to Martin’s farm. Upon entering the farm, a security guard retrieved the package from Cedric. Cedric then entered the farmhouse.

 

Terminating the Traitors

 

Cedric entered the office in the farmhouse to see Martin reading a book on the sofa. “What's up now, Taggart?” asked Cedric.

Martin stopped reading.

“This history. It's all lies. It says Hitler killed himself and that we nuked Japan. And people believe this stuff. Blimey. Well, if it makes them sleep better at night, I guess” said Martin.

“Hey man, now what? Are you going to free my brother?” asked Cedric.

“No. Not now. And here's a little newsflash - I said that to get you to do something for me” said Martin.

“Man, you really messed up” said Cedric.

“But the shocker is we are going to look after him. Because I need him alive as much as you do” said Martin.

“Oh, thanks” said Cedric.

“You know, after what you've done for me, it's like you're a pro now. I got double agents in Panama who want to put a price on your head. A Russian spy - a little fat, Boris looking guy - he's asking for clearance to interrogate you, Russian style. Caterpillars on the genitals. Feels good, you'd like it” said Martin.

“That isn’t cool, man! Just leave me alone. You're bad news!” said Cedric.

“Don't worry about it. The Russians got bigger things to worry about than your genitals, believe me. The whole country went to the dogs. We tried hard to put a lid on it but that idiot Gorbachev with the little strawberry on his forehead; he gave away the crown jewels. Still, they got their, you know boy in the White House. That was nice” said Martin but was cut off by Cedric.

“So? What you want me to do?” asked Cedric.

“Listen, Cedric. We've got a problem. Some traitors from another department think they can help the 'overseas situation' by financing militaristic dictators in exchange for arms contacts” said Martin.

“Hey, isn't that exactly what you do?” asked Cedric.

“Well, kind of, but we get to pick our dictators. Degenerates that we can control. We try to stay the hell away from these guys with principles, because that just - muddies the waters” said Martin.

“Yeah, OK” said Cedric.

“OK, so, of course these idiots have stolen a consignment of land mines and they plan to offload them in the Middle East and cause a little ruckus. Cedric, do you like maiming people?” asked Martin.

“Maiming? Some people” said Cedric.

“Anyway, the point is - you and me, Cedric we're the same. Now yeah, it's a dirty job but somebody's got to do it. But if you screw this up, it will cause a tinder box situation all over Latin America and the Middle East. Now look, I spoke to the big man. You've got clearance to eliminate these traitors. How's that?” asked Martin.

“Kill more government agents?” asked Cedric.

“Kill, dispose of. Come on; don't look at it that way, will you? Think of it as pest control. It works for me. All right, come on” said Martin.

Cedric then left the farmhouse and headed over to the airstrip. Upon arriving, he witnessed government agents loading crates into a private jet. Cedric took out his AK-47 and gunned down the preoccupied government agents. He then headed back to the farm. Upon entering the office in the farmhouse, Cedric noticed Martin was no way in sight. Cedric then got a phone call from Jimmy who was requesting his presence at the Imperial Palace Casino in Las Vegas, pronto. With nothing else to do in Tucson, Cedric exited the farmhouse and headed to the airport and boarded a plane for Las Vegas.

 

To Be Continued

[Leprechaun]

Messing With the Mafia

 

An hour later, Cedric arrived outside the Imperial Palace Casino which was located in Las Vegas. He dismounted from his black dirt bike and entered the casino. After being taken to the casino manager’s office, Cedric met Jimmy. He was wearing the same clothes from their first introduction. “CJ, glad you could make it” said Jimmy.

“So this is what you’ve been doing” said Cedric.

“Yeah, it’s been a complete nightmare. You want a stomach ulcer, try opening a Chinese-run casino in a Mafia-run town” said Jimmy.

“The mob trying to squeeze you?” asked Cedric.

“Yeah – the corporations are moving in and everybody’s feeling the squeeze. I’ve had slot machines busted up, workmen scared off, etc” said Jimmy.

“So who’s behind this?” asked Cedric.

“Well, there are these three mob families operating here, and each of them has a stake in Caesar’s Palace Casino and some whacked-out lawyer’s running it for them. It could be any one of them or all of them” said Jimmy.

“Can’t you just give them a little something?” asked Cedric.

“No. In addition to the usual authorities that need bribing, each one would want a slice and I’m not about to hand over all our profits to some wiseguys!” said Jimmy.

“Our profit?” asked Cedric.

“That’s right, you heard me. I want to offer you a share in our casino, in exchange for some help setting it up. How does that sound partner?” said Jimmy.

“Sounds like we got a deal then!” said Cedric.

Suddenly, Feng sprinted into Jimmy’s office.

“Sir, the boys found an Italian trying to smash one of the deliveries. We have caught one of them!” said Feng.

“Get rid of him” said Jimmy.

Cedric then said to Feng “Hey, wait. Whoever’s behind the casino problems need to know that they’re dealing with fully-fledged psychos. Tie him to the front of one of your cars, let him sweat it out a little and I’ll be out there in a little while.

“That’s my CJ!” said Jimmy.

“Yes, sir” said Feng.

Quickly, Cedric walked out of Jimmy’s office and headed down to the casino’s garage. The captured Italian man was tied onto the car’s bonnet. The captured Italian man had brown hair and blue eyes. Cedric decided he would take a fast ride round the town in an attempt to make the thug reveal who he was waiting for. Half an hour later, before falling into a shock-induced coma, the captured Italian man told Cedric his name was John Scalice. Before dumping the unconscious John Scalice at the hospital, Cedric phoned Jimmy and told him which mafia family was behind the casino’s worker problems. After dumping the unconscious John Scalice at the hospital, Cedric headed towards a nearby motel to rent a room for a week.

 

The Meeting

 

The next day early in the evening, Cedric visited Jimmy at his office inside the Imperial Palace Casino. Upon entering the office, Cedric saw Jimmy looking over sponsor forms. As Cedric shut the office door, Jimmy looked up.

“So the Scalice Family was behind the attempts to sabotage our venture. I wonder why it's only them and not the others?” asked Jimmy.

“Probably isn't just them. Rule of the streets; don't snitch. What we need... is to hit the Mafia casino. Yeah, go jack the place” said Cedric.

“Hey, hitting a casino isn't like gangbanging - it's a whole different league!” said Jimmy.

“Yeah, you're right, it'll take some planning, but I'm down. Blimey,

I always wanted to pull a heist” said Cedric.

“Listen, you're going to need a crew and some special equipment” said Cedric.

“I’ll get it all sorted” said Jimmy.

“Also we need explosives. Can’t do a heist without explosives” said Cedric.

Cedric then left Jimmy in his office to go and get drunk.

 

The Plan

 

The next day late in the afternoon, Cedric visited Jimmy at his office inside the Imperial Palace Casino. Upon entering the office, Cedric saw Jimmy looking over some blueprints.

“This is the layout of the casino?” asked Cedric.

“Yes, it is” said Jimmy.

“So what's the prognosis? Is this just going to be extremely difficult, or next-to-impossible?” asked Cedric.

“Hear me out on this, partner. Alright, the cash room is on the bottom level. There's a bunch of rooms and a tunnel under the whole building with access to the casino floors at either end of the complex. Alright? Now, security consists of CCTV, a key code access and in some places, a swipe card reader” said Jimmy.

Feng entered the room carrying a swipe card and a security card reader.

“Blimey, now he’s seen the plans” said Cedric.

“It is OK, he’s part of the team” said Jimmy.

“Good” said Cedric.

“Boss, I’ve retrieved the specific equipment even the key code” said Feng.

“Brilliant work! Now we got a swipe card to allow us into the restricted areas of the casino” said Jimmy.

“Question, how does the Mafia normally move it cash out of the casino?” asked Cedric.

“They use an armored truck and two police motorbikes as outriders” replied Jimmy.

Cedric and Jimmy then started to play poker with each other.

 

You’ve had Your Chips

 

The next day at noon, Cedric visited Jimmy at his office inside the Imperial Palace Casino. Upon entering the office, Cedric saw Jimmy hanging up on someone via telephone.

“Jimmy, how are you?” asked Cedric.

“Not bad” replied Jimmy.

Suddenly, Feng sprinted again into Jimmy’s office.

“What’s wrong now, Feng?” asked Jimmy.

“Sir, it seems somebody been playing counterfeit chips here in the casino” said Feng.

“It’s obvious where these chips coming from! The Scalice Family owns a plastics factory in the Las Vegas Boulevard. I’m going over there to teach them a lesson!” said Jimmy.

“Jimmy, don’t worry I’ll take care of the plastics factory” replied Cedric.

Quickly, Cedric left the office then the casino itself and proceeded towards the plastics factory in the Las Vegas Boulevard via his blue Lotus. Fifteen minutes later, upon entering the interior of the plastics factory, Cedric was targeted by the factory guards. After wiping out the factory guards, Cedric focused on destroying the 10 injection molding machines. Five minutes later, after the factory total destruction, a carload of reinforcements arrived to kill Cedric. Unfortunately for them, when they arrived Cedric threw a Molotov cocktail at the car sending the reinforcements up in flames. Fifteen minutes later, en route back to his motel room were he planned to watch TV; Cedric phoned Jimmy and told him about the plastics factory total destruction.

 

Don Peyote

 

The next day early in the evening, Cedric was going by the Casino Royale when he spotted a tall Englishman urinating. The tall Englishman had brown hair and blue eyes. He was wearing a red t-shirt and jeans. Cedric pulled over and approached him.

“Why are you doing that?” asked Cedric.

“I just arrived back from a peyote safari just now. I was dying to pee” said the tall Englishman.

There were a few moments of silence.

“Anyway, could you help me?” asked the tall Englishman.

“With what?” asked Cedric.

“I need a lift to Caesar’s Palace Casino to see my friend, Ken Robinson” said the tall Englishman.

“OK, I’ll take you there” said Cedric.

“Thanks. By the way, my name is Gareth Northcott” said the tall Englishman.

Both two men got into the blue Jaguar. Ten minutes later, after parking the blue Jaguar Cedric and his new friend entered the interior of Caesar’s Palace Casino. Cedric then asked one of the security men to take them to Ken Robinson. After being left outside the Managerial Suites, Cedric and his new friend entered it to see a stocky Englishman who had brown hair and blue eyes. The stocky Englishman was wearing a red shirt and cream trousers. When the stocky Englishman saw Cedric and his friend, he stopped moaning and got up.

“My despair is complete” said the stocky Englishman.

“Ken Robinson! How are you?” asked Gareth Northcott.

“I pray that one day I can escape my perpetual torment and retire in peace and comfort a million miles away from anyone I've ever known, instead, I get this” said the stocky Englishman.

“Come on, it's me, Gareth!” said Gareth.

“Well, hello, again, what a pleasant surprise. Who the hell is this guy?” asked Ken Robinson.

“This is-” said Gareth but was cut off by Cedric.

“My name is Cedric” said Cedric.

“His name is Cedric” said Gareth.

Ken started to get stressed.

“What’s wrong?” asked Cedric.

“What’s wrong is every Mafia gorilla from Los Angeles to New York is breathing down my neck” said Ken.

Cedric then left the Managerial Suites to allow Ken some time on his own. After exiting the Managerial Suites, Cedric phoned Jimmy.

“Hey Jimmy. I think I found a way to scope the casino without causing too much suspicion. We can talk later” said Cedric.

Cedric then hung up. Fifteen minutes later, Ken phoned Cedric and told him to come back and see him, pronto.

 

Intensive Care

 

Cedric entered the Managerial Suites.

“Where’s Gareth?” asked Cedric.

“He’s away to a record signing” said Ken.

Cedric then noticed Ken was depressed.

“What’s wrong, Ken?” asked Cedric.

“What’s wrong is that I’m being hassled by the Mafia” replied Ken.

“What do you mean?” asked Cedric.

Ken then said “I threw it all away. OK, I had the power, the money, the ladies but I couldn’t say off the alcohol so I went into rehab. And everything went to the dogs, but so what? So when I came out I started representing the mob, again and that’s how I ended up here. But, none of the families would trust each other to run the casino so I was put forth as a neutral party. So now I spend my days waiting for one family to kill me and blame the other one”.

“You’ll have to break the situation down real quick for me to come up with a plan” said Cedric.

“OK, the Scalice Family are on the warpath because something terrible has happened to John, their Underboss. I mean he’s in a shock-induced coma at the hospital here in the Las Vegas Boulevard. Now the Falcone Family will take this opportunity to rub him out. Now if any hit between the families succeed on my turf, I will get executed” said Ken.

“OK, relax. I’ll go over to the hospital and pick up Mr. Scalice” said Cedric.

Cedric quickly left the Managerial Suites then the casino itself. Ten minutes later, Cedric arrived at the hospital in and told the receptionist he was here to pickup John Scalice.

The receptionist replied to Cedric by saying “There must be a mistake because Mr. Scalice was just taken away in an ambulance to the intensive care clinic which is located on the Strip, just a few moments ago”.

Cedric thanked the receptionist then rushed out of the hospital and got into his blue Lotus. Cedric thought about what the receptionist just told him. Suddenly, he came to the conclusion that the ambulance that took John Scalice away a few moments ago must be driven by hitmen working for the Falcone Family. Cedric quickly started his blue Lotus and speeded out of the hospital car park. En route to the intensive care clinic, Cedric encountered an ambulance with a red Ferrari as an escort. Cedric decided that must be the ambulance transporting John Scalice because why else would an ambulance have a Ferrari as an escort. After Cedric had rammed the red Ferrari off the road, the ambulance started to drive erratically. After chasing the erratically-driven ambulance and ramming it a few times, finally two hitmen who were wearing green pinstriped suits and armed with Colt .45s jumped out of the ambulance and made a dash for Cedric’s blue Lotus. Unfortunately for the pair of armed hitmen, Cedric got out of his blue Lotus and gunned them both down with his pump action shotgun. Immediately, Cedric hopped into the ambulance which no doubt held John Scalice. Immediately Cedric phoned Ken and told him about the current situation. Cedric then asked Ken where he would take John to. Ken then ordered Cedric to take John to the meat factory on the edge of the Las Vegas Boulevard. Five minutes later, Cedric dropped John Scalice off at the meat factory were he was taken inside by two Scalice Family mobsters who were both wearing brown pinstriped suits. En route back to his motel room, Cedric dumped the ambulance for a nearby golden Saab.

 

The Meat Business

 

The next day late in the afternoon, Cedric arrived back at Caesar’s Palace Casino. Upon entering the Managerial Suites, Cedric saw that Ken was looking a bit happier than before. “CJ, I’m off the alcohol for sure” said Ken.

“So everything’s straight now?” asked Cedric.

“No! Absolutely not! I’m still screwed! Absolutely screwed but at least now I’m in the right frame of mind. What are we going to do? Any minute now, some Mafia hitman is going to burst in and splatter my brains all over the wall!” said Ken.

“Look, man, relax, get a grip” said Cedric.

“Yeah, you’re right, I need to get a grip!” said Ken.

“Take control” said Cedric.

“Yes, grab the bull by the horns!” said Ken.

“Show everybody who’s boss” said Cedric.

“I’m the boss! I-am-the-boss!” said Ken.

“Alright then!” said Cedric.

“Alright! Let’s tear this town apart!” said Ken.

“That’s what I’m saying! So, where are we going?” said Cedric.

“The Scalice Family’s meat factory” said Ken.

Quickly, Cedric followed Ken out of his office then out of the casino itself. Ten minutes later, Cedric entered the meat factory along with Ken. But before doing that, Cedric silenced the two Scalice Family mobsters who were standing guard outside the meat factory’s main entrance. Halfway en route to meeting with the Scalice Family emissary, Cedric said to Ken “No, you go on. I’m going to wait here”.

Ken then said “Look, I need you at the meeting as reassurance I can do it”.

“I’ll come! Just remember you’re the boss” said Cedric.

“I’m the boss! I’m the boss! I’m the boss” repeated Ken.

Cedric and Ken continued to walk to the place of the peace meeting. Upon Ken’s and Cedric’s arrival at the peace meeting, John Scalice came out of a nearby room in a wheelchair wearing a brown pinstriped suit. Behind him was a Scalice Family mobster. John then asked Ken “How are you doing?”.

Ken replied by saying “Pretty good and you?”.

“Ah, still got a little bit of the night terrors, touch of diarrhea but I’ll get through it” said John.

“Huh, diarrhea, cool!” said Ken.

“Who’s this?” asked John.

Cedric stepped forward.

“How are you doing, Mr. Scalice?” asked Cedric.

John looked at Cedric.

“It’s him, it’s him! Ah! My heart!” said John.

Suddenly, John fell to the ground wheezing and clutching his chest. John then died.

“Yikes!” said Cedric.

Immediately, all the Scalice Family mobsters in the meat factory opened fire on Ken and Cedric. When the massive shootout began, Ken hid inside the late John Scalice’s office while Cedric started to fend off multiple waves of attackers. After clearing out the main room, Cedric started to clear out the side rooms so no witnesses could identify him or Ken. Fifteen minutes later, after quickly dropping Ken off at the entrance to Caesar’s Palace Casino via a blue Saab, Cedric decided to head to the local drive-thru to get a takeaway. En route, he listened to the news: “Police are investigating the murder of members of the Scalice Family, a New York mob family. The dead members were found in a meat factory in Las Vegas. Could this be the start of a Mafia war?”.

 

Midtown’s Bistro

 

The next day at noon, Cedric got a phone call from Ken who sounded frantic. He mentioned something to Cedric about the head of the Lombardo Family, Salvatore Lombardo arriving at Caesar’s Palace Casino and planning to take it over. Ken then hung up. Cedric didn’t believe Ken but decided to head over to Caesar’s Palace Casino to check it out. Half an hour later, upon entering the Managerial Suites, Cedric saw that Ken was telling the truth. Sitting down on the sofa drinking champagne was none other than Salvatore Lombardo, the head of the Lombardo Family. Salvatore Lombardo was a tall Italian man who had grey hair and green eyes. He was wearing a black pinstriped suit. When Cedric closed the office door, Don Salvatore Lombardo was talking to a tall waitress who had blonde hair and blue eyes. The waitress was wearing a white dress.

“Hello” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“Here’s your sandwich” said the waitress while putting the sandwich which was on a plate on the office table.

“Who are you, you pretty thing?” asked Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“I don't usually do this kind of thing you know” said the waitress.

“I like you. What’s your name?” asked Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“Carmella and the service is not included” said the waitress who called herself Carmella.

Don Salvatore Lombardo paid Carmella the waitress.

“Are you kidding me? See you later guys” said Carmella the waitress.

Carmella the waitress exited. Don Salvatore Lombardo turned to Cedric.

“Who are you?” asked Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“The name’s Cedric Jamison, sir. Before working for Mr. Robinson here, I had the pleasure of doing business with your son, Joe back in New York” said Cedric.

“You know Joe? I like that. So, kid what can I do for you?” asked Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“I’m looking for work” said Cedric.

“Can you kill?” asked Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“Well, Ken will vouch for me, I’m a straight killer” said Cedric.

“Oh, he’s a one man army. Real dependable. Total full-fledged psycho too” said Ken.

“Good, I arrived yesterday at the airport. The Falcone Family sent a group of hitmen to kill me. My men managed to decimate them. Anyway I want you to retaliate by killing Giorgio Falcone, the Underboss of the Falcone Family! How would you like to do it?” asked Don Salvatore Lombardo.

“A hit for the mob? Cool but I going to need I think Ken as backup” said Cedric.

“Take him” said Don Salvatore Lombardo.

After leaving the Managerial Suites along with Ken, Cedric hijacked a blue Lotus from a Lombardo Family mobster armed with a Colt .45. Both men got in and drove away quickly to the airport. Upon their arrival at the airport, Cedric persuaded Ken to flee Las Vegas and go somewhere abroad away from the mob. Ken obeyed and headed off into the airport terminal. Cedric then headed over to the airport. There he boarded a plane destined for New York. After arriving in New York and hailing a taxi, Cedric told the driver to take him to Midtown’s Bistro. Half an hour later, the taxi pulled up outside the entrance to Midtown’s Bistro. After getting out of the taxi and paying the driver, Cedric entered the interior of Midtown’s Bistro. Upon his arrival, a doorman who was wearing a red shirt, brown pants and a white jacket said to Cedric “invitation only, sir”.

After stabbing the rude doorman, Cedric’s presence was alerted to the rest of the bistro’s occupants. Quickly, Cedric jumped over the reservation desk to provide him cover as he fought off two Falcone Family mobsters. Both men were armed with Colt .45s. After both men’s decimation, Cedric headed out to the back of the bistro were he saw Giorgio, the Underboss of the Falcone Family cowering. Giorgio Falcone was a tall plump Italian man who had brown hair and green eyes. He was wearing a green pinstriped suit. Cedric then left Midtown’s Bistro and headed back to the airport via a brown Toyota. Upon flying to Las Vegas and arriving back at his motel room, Cedric got a phone call from Don Salvatore Lombardo. Don Salvatore Lombardo thanked Cedric for the marvelous job he performed at Midtown’s Bistro. Cedric then fooled Don Salvatore Lombardo into thinking Ken was dead by saying he was shot by the waiter. Don Salvatore Lombardo then told Cedric to keep a low profile. He then hung up. Cedric then listened to the news: “Los Angeles police officers Fred Tyler and Edward Powell are being sought by government officials in order to stand trial for the murder of Detective Isaiah Reed. The pair, whom prosecutors claim have masterminded a huge criminal organization, have disappeared”.

 

Fish in a Barrel

 

The next day early in the evening, Cedric visited Jimmy at the Imperial Palace Casino. Upon entering the office, Cedric was greeted by Jimmy.

“CJ, just the man I wanted to see” said Jimmy.

“Why what’s up?” asked Cedric.

“Mr. Wong is arriving in Las Vegas in ten minutes” said Jimmy.

“So, what’s the problem?” asked Cedric.

“This is the first time a senior Triad representative has ever been to Las Vegas!” said Jimmy.

“Yeah, I’ve got a bad feeling about this” said Cedric.

“Which is why you’re going to be watching over the proceedings” said Jimmy.

“Let’s me guess, you think the Mafia is going to ambush Mr. Wong and whack him” said Cedric.

“Precisely” said Jimmy.

Cedric then left the Imperial Palace Casino and headed towards the airport. Ten minutes later, Cedric waited inside the airport terminal for Mr. Wong to arrive. Suddenly Mr. Wong and eight Triads appeared. Cedric escorted Mr. Wong outside. The eight Triads split into two groups and got into two green Hummers while Cedric and Mr. Wong got into a bulletproof red Porsche. The two green Hummers then formed a motorcade, one at the front of the Porsche and one at the back. The motorcade then set up. Halfway en route back to the Imperial Palace Casino, the motorcade got ambushed by four blue Lotuses. Two Lombardo Family mobsters appeared out of each Lotus. Suddenly a fierce firefight broke out between the eight Lombardo Family mobsters and Mr. Wong’s eight Triads. Suddenly the head of the security detail rushed up to the red Porsche and said to Cedric “Get Mr. Wong to the casino at all costs. Use any means necessary”.

Cedric then reversed the red Porsche a bit and then speeded back to the Imperial Palace Casino. Cedric then escorted Mr. Wong into Jimmy’s office. Upon entering the office, Jimmy greeted Cedric and his superior.

“CJ, what took you guys so long?” asked Jimmy.

“We ran into a little welcoming committee. The Lombardo Family has made its move. We can handle those wiseguys now we’re up and running” said Cedric.

Jimmy produced a contract.

“Anyway, gentlemen can I have your signatures?” asked Jimmy.

Cedric and Mr. Wong signed the contract.

“Gentlemen or shall I say partners” said Jimmy.

“Oh, I’ll drink to that!” said Cedric.

Mr. Wong grunted.

All three men celebrated their partnership together in the casino by drinking champagne. They then listened to the news: “The FBI is investigating possible links between the slaying of Scalice Family mobsters and the massacre of Falcone Family mobsters”.

 

Breaking The Bank at Caesar’s

 

The next day late in the afternoon, Cedric visited Jimmy at his office inside the Imperial Palace Casino. Upon entering the office, Cedric saw Jimmy memorizing notes. When Cedric closed the office door, Jimmy looked up.

“We’re all set to go” said Jimmy.

“Alright, let’s go and meet the team” said Cedric.

Jimmy then took Cedric out of his office to the casino’s docking bay were the team of robbers and armored van were waiting. Cedric noticed Feng and a casino bodyguard get into the back of the armored van. Another casino bodyguard closed its backdoors. He then got into the driver’s seat.

“It seems we’re all set. So I’ll see you at the docking bay. Let’s move out” said Cedric.

Before leaving, Cedric got an electronic earpiece, a croupier’s outfit, a pair of gas grenades, a pair of night vision goggles, a swipe card and a key code from Jimmy. Cedric left and headed to the staff changing rooms were he put on the croupier’s outfit and the electronic earpiece, He hid the rest of his equipment underneath the jacket. Cedric then headed over to Caesar’s Palace Casino. Upon entering, Cedric immediately headed for the staff entrance. After swiping the swipe card, Cedric sauntered past the armed bouncer standing guard outside the main security office. Cedric casually walked into the nearby generator room. After walking over to the ventilation grills, Cedric threw the two gas grenades he was given by Jimmy. Seconds later, the two armed bouncers guarding the casino’s vault were knocked out by breathing in too much gas. Cedric immediately switched on his electronic earpiece to speak to Feng who was at the other end.

“I’ve threw the gas grenades down the ventilation grills but we won't know if they have worked until we get down there!” said Cedric.

“Yeah, well, don't worry about it. Right now we got a schedule to stick to! Head to the security door and use the swipe card!” said Feng.

Cedric then walked out of the generator room over to the security door. After Cedric had swiped the swipe card through, immediately the casino’s power generator blew shrouding the casino in darkness. Cedric then went down to the casino’s docking bay were he used a forklift to open the roller door. After the roller door was open high enough, the armored van containing Jimmy, Feng and the two bodyguards drove in. The bodyguard driving did a U-turn so they would be ready for their escape.

“Well done, Cedric. Now it's time for us to do our part! Try to stay close! OK, team, I've gone over the layout to this place so I know it back to front. Everybody follow me!” said Jimmy.

“I’ll stay behind to guard the van” said Feng.

“OK” said Cedric.

Cedric and the two bodyguards followed Jimmy to the vault room were they saw the two armed bouncers who were usually guarding the casino’s vault were knocked out. Jimmy then blew the vault. While that happened one of the bodyguards blew up the casino’s backup power generators. The bodyguard then returned to help his comrades carry the vault money. Instead of carrying the vault money, Cedric got out his AK-47 and provided protection for his three fellow robbers. En route back to the docking bay, Cedric had to eliminate a team of heavily armed Lombardo Family mobsters. After fending off the team of angry mobsters, Cedric helped his team carry the vault money into the docking bay were Feng had the two police motorbikes unloaded. The two bodyguards put on their police uniforms and then hopped on their separate motorbikes. Feng then helped Cedric and Jimmy load the vault money into the back of the van. Feng then got into the driver’s seat while Jimmy got into the passenger’s seat. The occupants of the three vehicles then drove away. Cedric then exited the docking bay and headed up to the casino’s roof. From the top of the roof, Cedric noticed three police cruisers, a SWAT van and two news vans were parked outside the casino’s main entrance. Cedric watched as a SWAT team burst into the casino’s foyer. Cedric then went onto the casino’s helipad and boarded a chopper. Cedric flew the chopper over to a warehouse owned by Jimmy. After setting down behind the warehouse, Cedric entered the warehouse were he saw Jimmy, Feng and the two bodyguards counting the money. Jimmy noticed Cedric.

“Good work, CJ” said Jimmy.

Feng and the two bodyguards gave Cedric a pat on the back each. After counting the money, the team of robbers headed back to the casino where they celebrated. En route back to the casino, Cedric got a phone call from Don Salvatore Lombardo. After being accused of robbing the casino, Cedric admitted it. Don Salvatore Lombardo was astonished. Cedric hung up on him and listened to the news: “A casino called Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas war forced to admit that it was recently robbed. It's the first major heist carried out on a casino in Las Vegas in thirty years. Government officials are not ruling out foul play”.

 

High Noon

 

The next day at noon, Officer Tyler phoned Cedric and told him to get to the harbor, pronto. He then hung up. Half an hour later, Cedric entered the harbor and pulled up beside the customs office. As Cedric was exiting his golden Saab, a police cruiser pulled up with Officers Tyler, Powell and Holmes inside it. All three police officers then exited their vehicle.

“CJ! Hope, we didn’t keep you waiting!” said Officer Powell.

“No, I just arrived” said Cedric.

As Officers Powell and Holmes greeted Cedric, Officer Holmes was slammed over the head with a shovel by Officer Tyler. He then shouted “YOU SOLD US OUT! Time to dig, CJ”.

Officer Tyler then gave the shovel to Cedric. Cedric obeyed and started to dig. Officer Tyler then said Officer Powell “you take care of things”.

“What – where are you going?” asked Officer Powell.

“I’m going to go gambling – you got a problem with that, Edward?” asked Officer Tyler.

“No, Leo, relax” said Officer Powell.

“Good. I’ll see you back at the precinct and I’ll see you Cedric in the next life” said Officer Tyler.

Officer Tyler then left the harbor via the police cruiser. Whilst Cedric was digging, Officer Powell said “That’s good – big enough for two”.

“Edward, Tyler’s just using you, he’s using all of us. You’re the next one he’s going to silence, man” said Cedric.

“You be quiet and its Officer Powell to you!” said Officer Powell.

Suddenly, Officer Powell took out his silenced pistol and pointed it at Cedric’s head. Before Officer Powell had a chance to shoot Cedric, Officer Holmes stood up and tried to shoot his corrupt partner. Officer Powell quickly reacted and shot Officer Holmes in the head. As the late Officer Holmes fell to the down, his silenced pistol fell into Cedric’s hands. Before he had a chance to react, Officer Powell was shot dead by Cedric. After the police shooting, Jimmy phoned Cedric and mentioned he had an intriguing proposition for him involving Los Angeles. After Jimmy hung up, Cedric decided to visit Jimmy and see what he meant.

 

A Home in the Hills

 

Forty minutes later, Cedric entered Jimmy’s office to see Jimmy talking to a very slim Chinese woman who had black hair and blue eyes. The very slim Chinese woman was wearing a cream dress. When Cedric closed the office door, Jimmy said to Cedric “Hey CJ. Let me introduce you to Jade Li. She is my associate from California”.

“How are you doing?” asked Cedric.

“Well” said the very slim woman.

“My associate has a problem which I think you could handle” said Jimmy.

“What is it?” asked Cedric.

“I recently bought a mansion in your hometown. When I came to inspect the renovations were all correct, I discovered the mansion had been seized” said Jade Li.

“IRS?” asked Cedric.

“No, not exactly” said Jade.

“Who?” asked Cedric.

“Nobody” said Jade.

“Who Jade?” asked Cedric.

“A guy called Lance” said Jade.

“Lance!” said Cedric.

“You know him?” asked Jimmy.

“He’s an ex-friend of mine” said Cedric.

“Jimmy tell your best men along with Feng to meet me at the airport. I’m going to repossess your associate’s mansion” said Cedric.

Cedric then started to get mad and muttered “the mansion belongs in better hands”.

Cedric then left Jimmy and Jade in the office together and headed off towards the airport to meet Feng and his friends. Ten minutes later, after meeting Feng and company and laying out the plan, the gang boarded two choppers which they were going to use to land on the mansion’s helipad. Three hours later, Cedric’s chopper and Feng’s chopper started their descent onto the mansion’s helipad. Five minutes later, after landing the choppers and unloading their weapons, Cedric and company came immediately under fire from a gang of Crips. After dealing with the gang of Crips, Cedric and company proceeded into the mansion itself. After proceeding with caution down a corridor, Cedric and company entered the mansion’s inner sanctum to come immediately under fire from a battalion of Crips. Five minutes later, after eliminating the battalion of Crips Cedric and company came face-to-face with Lance and three of his bodyguards.

“Can’t catch me, Cedric” said Lance.

Suddenly, Lance started to run down an unsearched corridor. Before Lance’s three bodyguards had a chance to kill some of the gang, they were instantly killed by Feng who was armed with a baseball bat. Quickly, Cedric left Feng and his friends in the mansion’s inner sanctum and started to run after Lance. Fifteen minutes later, Cedric caught up with Lance who was in the mansion’s swimming pool.

“You’ve got a lot faster from the last time I saw you” said Lance.

“Why did you do it?” asked Cedric.

“What, you mean betray the Bloods?” asked Lance.

“Yes, I mean that” said Cedric.

“I did it because there was no way we were going to wipe out the Crips” said Lance.

“Anyway, prepare to die” said Lance.

Suddenly, a serious gunfight ensued between Cedric and Lance. Fifteen minutes later, the serious gunfight stopped because Lance had died of lead poisoning from Cedric’s weapon. After checking that Lance was dead for sure, Cedric regrouped with Feng and company inside the mansion’s inner sanctum. Cedric then told Feng to phone Jimmy and Jade to report their success.

 

Home Coming

 

The next day early in the evening while driving around town, Cedric got a phone call from Martin. “I’ve managed to get Gary out of prison” said Martin. He then hung up. Immediately, Cedric turned round his blue Toyota and proceeded towards the police precinct which was located in Griffith Park. Half an hour later, Cedric arrived outside the police precinct in Griffith Park. Upon exiting his blue Toyota, Cedric saw Gary exiting the police precinct.

“Hey, Gary” said Cedric.

“Hey to you too” said Gary.

“I’ll take you back to my friend’s mansion. While you’ve been in jail I took down a drug-smuggling syndicate in San Francisco. Also I became part owner of a casino in Las Vegas.” said Cedric.

“You never did it, did you, CJ? I need to check on the old neighborhood. That’s the problem, you’re a perpetrator” said Gary.

“Hey, the old neighborhood isn’t what it used to be” said Cedric.

“I don’t believe you, take me there now” said Gary.

“OK” said Cedric.

Both Jamison brothers got into Cedric’s blue Toyota and started their journey back to the Jamison Residence in Compton. Upon parking outside the Jamison Residence, Cedric and Gary saw that the neighborhood was overrun with drug dealers and overdosed junkies. Both Jamison brothers decided to take the neighborhood back from the drug dealers and the overdosed junkies. After equipping themselves with some firearms, both brothers started to beat up the drug dealers and the overdosed junkies inhabiting Compton. Fifteen minutes later, both brothers had retaken their parents’ neighborhood back from the drug dealers and the overdosed junkies. Both brothers then decided to visit the local bar to celebrate their victory.

 

Crashing In On Cesar

 

The next day late in the afternoon, Cedric visited Gary at his house to see a hooker trying to persuade Gary to get on crack cocaine. Immediately, Cedric approached the hooker and slapped her and asked who had sent her.

She replied by saying “Cesar sent me”.

The hooker then left Gary’s house.

“Cesar?” asked Cedric.

“Word on the street, he’s selling crack cocaine for Melvin” said Gary.

“If we visit him, he might be able to give us the location of Melvin’s drug factory” said Cedric.

“Good idea” said Gary.

Cedric and Gary then left the house and headed to the nearby snooker hall Fifteen minutes later, Cedric and Gary arrived outside the local snooker hall which was located in Willowbrook. Suddenly, a small muscular African-American man who had brown hair and green eyes approached Cedric and Gary. The small muscular African-American man was wearing red clothing.

“Barry, how are you?” asked Gary.

“Not bad” said the small muscular African-American man.

“Anyway, I guess this isn’t a social visit” said Barry.

“We’re hoping you know the whereabouts of a guy called Cesar?” asked Cedric.

“He can be found at his base of operations: Cesar’s Autoservice” said Barry.

“Thanks for the information” said Cedric.

“Happy to be of service” said Barry.

Both Jamison brothers then proceeded towards Cesar’s Autoservice which was situated in East Los Angeles. Half an hour later, Cedric parked his brother’s green Bentley inside a lay-by which was opposite Cesar’s Autoservice. Both Jamison brothers equipped themselves with firearms and exited the green Bentley. After crossing the road, Cedric and Gary approached Cesar’s Autoservice. Suddenly a quartet of armed thugs armed with Uzis walked out of the main entrance. Before they were spotted, both Jamison brothers gunned down a pair of armed thugs each. Gary stood guard outside while Cedric entered Cesar’s Autoservice were he found a small muscular Mexican man who had blond hair and brown eyes cowering in a corner. The small muscular Mexican man was wearing maroon clothing.

“Are you Cesar?” asked Cedric.

“Yes, I am so what?” asked the small muscular Mexican man.

“I would like to know the location of Melvin’s drug factory” said Cedric.

“You know the rules, hombre, I can’t tell you where it is!” said the small muscular Mexican man who answered to the name of Cesar.

Cedric kicked Cesar in the shins.

“Oh man! Hell, he’s holed up in an old apartment block over in Bel-Air. It’s easy enough to spot. They have got the whole block under control. No one gets in or out without Melvin’s say so! Blimey! I’m going to make sure Melvin knows your coming” replied Cesar.

“Thank you for your co-operation” said Cedric.

Cedric then left Cesar cowering in the corner and exited Cesar’s Autoservice.

“The drug factory is in Bel-Air” said Cedric.

“Good work” said Gary.

Both Jamison brothers got back to the Bentley and headed back to the snooker hall in Willowbrook were they met Barry and had an illegal street race with him.

 

Riot

 

The next day at noon, Cedric visited Gary at his house to see him watching the news.

“What are they talking about?” asked Cedric.

“They are talking about Tyler’s and Powell’s trial” replied Gary.

Cedric sat down beside his brother on the sofa and listened in on the report of the trial. A female reporter said “Officers Fred Tyler and Edward Powell, both hard working members of a community policing unit have been charged with racketeering, corruption, narcotics and sexual assault”.

“They brought it on themselves” said Gary.

The reporter started to speak again: “…conspired to kill Detective Isaiah Reed who threatened to turn state’s evidence and who was then found shot dead in a supposedly unrelated gang incident…”

“I say that’s about 20 years” said Cedric.

“Try 5 years. Cops always get off easy” said Gary.

“Yeah, I heard that” said Cedric.

The reporter continued with the news on the trial: “…retracted witness statements and now the disappearance of fellow officer Jeff Holmes and Officer Powell himself, believed to be on the run”.

An hour later, the reporter spoke again: “Oh, wait they’re exiting the courtroom now!”

“That coward Powell will probably turn up dead just like the rest of them” said Gary.

Suddenly, Tyler’s lawyer started to get interviewed: “...of the lack of evidence against my client, the D.A.’s office has seen fit to drop all charges…”

“What?!” said Gary.

“That’s rigged” said Cedric.

The reporter started to speak again: “…surprise decision is wholly unprecedented…”

“There’s seems there’s no justice in this state” said Gary.

“I agree” said Cedric.

The reporter spoke for the last time: “Los Angeles will burn tonight”

“There will be nobody rioting in my neighborhood!” said Gary.

Cedric made Gary look outside.

“I don’t know about that, my brother. The whole city is burning up. People all really angry about this” said Cedric.

“Let’s get out there and lockdown the neighborhood” said Gary.

“OK” said Cedric.

Gary then switched off his television. Both Jamison brothers left the house and planned to block off the neighborhood.

 

The Grand Finale

 

The next day early in the evening, both Jamison brothers decided it was time to visit Melvin and kill him as revenge for betraying the gang. Half an hour later, Cedric parked his brother’s Bentley down the street from Melvin’s drug factory which was situated in Bel-Air. Both Jamison brothers exited the Bentley. Gary opened his trunk to reveal his arsenal of updated weapons. It consisted of a silenced pistol, a sniper rifle, an AK-47 and a pump action shotgun. Cedric took the silenced pistol, the sniper rifle and the AK-47.

“I want to go in there alone” said Cedric.

“What?” asked Gary.

“Melvin and Tyler played me” said Cedric.

“They played us all” said Gary.

“Yeah, but you’re right. I was a coward when my family needed me most. Hey, I let Kendal die, man. This one’s for Mom, Dad and you” said Cedric.

“Hey, if you need me, you know where I’ll be” said Gary.

“For sure. You’re always been there for me, homie” said Cedric.

Cedric left Gary and approached the drug factory’s main entrance. After kicking down the double doors Cedric immediately came under fire from a posse of Crips. After the posse’s decimation, Cedric entered the first floor of the drug factory: the security area. After walking up a flight of stairs and silencing a stationary guard, Cedric walked through a set of double doors into a big storage room. Immediately Cedric started to snipe the guards at the other end of the room. After clearing the room, Cedric walked through another set of double doors which led him to the drug factory’s second floor: the drug lab. After walking up another flight of stairs and silencing another stationary guard, Cedric walked through another set of double doors into the drug factory’s processing lab. After entering the drug factory’s processing lab, Cedric came immediately under fire from the various workers scattered across the room. After clearing the room, Cedric walked through another set of double doors which led him to the drug factory’s third floor: the dealers’ lounge. After walking up a third flight of stairs and silencing another stationary guard, Cedric walked through a third set of double doors into the dealers’ lounge. After silencing the numerous dealers in their sleep, Cedric entered a long corridor which had a statue of Melvin at the end. Crowded round the statue was a pair of Crips. After picking off the pair of Crips from a distance, Cedric picked up a pump action shotgun from one of the carcasses and continued his journey. Finally after leaving the third floor of the drug factory, Cedric finally reached the top floor: the penthouse suite. Upon entering the penthouse suite Cedric saw that Melvin was playing a videogame.

Cedric shouted to Melvin “Hey, Melvin!”

“I knew you would be here soon” said Melvin.

“How'd you know it was me?” asked Cedric.

“Knew it was my old dog CJ. Knew you were coming and I don't give care” said Melvin.

“I'm here to take care of your fat ass then I'm going to take care of your friends in the police department. Where they at?” asked Cedric.

“Man, I don’t know” said Melvin.

Melvin stopped playing the videogame and smoked some crack cocaine.

Cedric started to talk about Officer Fred Tyler.

“I don’t care about Tyler or his American lap dog. I hate the law, man. All those old amendments. Look at you; you’ve got the whole world. I haven't got any regrets, man” said Melvin.

Cedric starts to talk again but is cut off.

“I made it, CJ! I'm a success. I can't be touched! I don't give care anymore” said Melvin.

“What happened to you?” asked Cedric.

“What do you care? Guess we better do this then” said Melvin.

Suddenly Melvin grabbed his Tec-9 and started to fire at Cedric. Cedric did the same but with his AK-47. After fifteen minutes later, Melvin fell to the ground bleeding. Cedric approached him.

“What made you flip out? Was it the crack cocaine or what?” asked Cedric.

“I got caught up in all the money, the power and the respect. I don’t care. Blimey, man…” replied Melvin.

“Why you just didn't quit, man? We were like family, homie” said Cedric.

“I had no choice. I had to do it. I just saw the opportunity. When I'm gone, everyone is going to remember my name!” said Melvin.

Suddenly Melvin died.

“Blimey, what a waste” said Cedric.

While checking if Melvin was officially dead, Cedric heard someone walk up behind him. Cedric turned round to come face-to-face with Officer Fred Tyler who was armed with a pump action shotgun.

“Cedric Jamison, my man. I need you to do me a favor. You killed Officer Powell and now this guy. There’s no stopping you! Drop the assault rifle” said Officer Tyler.

Cedric dropped his AK-47.

“You aren't leaving here alive, man” said Cedric.

“Where's your brother?” asked Officer Fred Tyler.

“Why you just didn't shoot me in the back? Feeling exposed?” asked Cedric.

Officer Tyler then gave Cedric a gym bag.

“Shut up and fill the bag” said Officer Fred Tyler.

“So what it's like, Tyler? Alone, nobody’s got your back? Suck?” asked Cedric.

Cedric started to fill the gym bag full of money from Melvin’s safe.

“Why you think I'm alone? I got a couple of rookies outside. But I’ve got to open their eyes slowly, you know - a little truth here, a little truth there... Alright that's enough. Chuck it over, I've got a plane to catch” said Officer Fred Tyler.

Cedric chucked over the gym bag, Officer Fred Tyler picked it up and slung it round his shoulder.

“You're crazy man, you've lost it” said Cedric.

“Before I forget, time to die!” shouted Officer Tyler.

To distract Officer Fred Tyler, Cedric shouted “Gary!”.

Officer Tyler turned round and realized he was tricked. He turned round the other way and fired at Cedric but luckily Cedric missed the AK-47’s bullets by diving behind a nearby sofa.

“It isn’t over yet, Cedric!” shouted Officer Tyler.

Officer Tyler turned round and ran out of the penthouse suite. Cedric got up and gave pursuit. Upon reaching the second floor, Cedric saw Officer Tyler set off an explosion. Suddenly, the drug factory shook. Officer Tyler then made his escape from the exploding second floor. Quickly, Cedric dodged some falling pieces of rubble and escaped out to the flight of stairs leading to the first floor. While navigating through the first floor, Cedric had to dodge more falling pieces of rubble. Cedric sprinted out of the crumbling and exploding drug factory via its main entrance. There he came face-to-face with Officer Fred Tyler again. Before Officer Fred Tyler had a chance to fire at Cedric, Cedric rugby tackled him. Suddenly, a big chunk of the crumbling and exploding drug factory came off and started to plummet towards where Cedric and Officer Fred Tyler were positioned. Before running down the side of the road to take shelter, Cedric retrieved the bag filled of money from a dazed and stumbling Officer Fred Tyler. Still dazed and stumbling by the powerful rugby tackle, Officer Fred Tyler only managed to mutter “Come on, gangbangers. I'll take you all. You're mine! Mine! I run this town! Hey, over here! Hey! Officer down! Come on! HEY! Idiots! You never understood what I did! Fifty of me and this town would be OK”.

Officer Fred Tyler suddenly recovered from the powerful rugby tackle and looked up. When he saw the plummeting large piece of rubble, Officer Fred Tyler froze. Disgustingly, the big chunk of rubble plummeting to the ground crashed on Officer Fred Tyler scattering his body parts. Cedric couldn’t stand the sight so he looked away and saw Gary pull up beside him in his green Bentley. After driving a few blocks away from the drug factory, Cedric and Gary heard a big explosion which they guessed signaled the drug factory’s total destruction. Gary then took Cedric back home so that they could celebrate their victory over Melvin, C.R.A.S.H. and the Crips. As both Jamison brothers celebrated their victory by counting the drug money, they listened to the news: “Recently-cleared police office Fred Tyler has been found dead. His body was found in the aftermath of the recent riot set off by his acquittal”.

Suddenly, the front door opened. Both Jamison brothers pulled out a gun. Ken Robinson and Sean Wilson entered.

“I come in peace with Mr. Wilson here who has an announcement to make” said Ken Robinson.

“My, I mean OUR first gold record” said Sean Wilson.

Cedric and Gary cheered. Cedric then headed for the front door.

“Cedric, where are you off to now?” asked Gary.

“I’m going to walk around the neighborhood to see what's happening” said Cedric.

Cedric then exited the Jamison Residence and started his walk around Compton.

WHAT THE HELL. WHY THE HECK DID YOU DO THIS. WHY COULDN'T YOU JUST DIVIDE THIS INTO CHAPTERS AND POST IT INTO THE SAME THREAD. WAS IT REALLY NESSASRY TO POST FOUR THREADS FOR ONE STORY?!

 

CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL

[TonyZimmzy]

I'd like to see the man who would sit here and read the entire San Andreas storyline re-written with different characters and locations. Also what Cubanwhip said, you jackass. You just clogged the absolute f*ck out of Writer's Discussion with about eight topics for one story when there's a reply button. You f*cking...f*cking...f*ck.

[Vive La France]

Christ, EDIT the original post, try not to double post, but 4 topics? Jesus!

[TubbyJ]

What the hell?! One topic will suffice! Jesus f*cking Christ!

[Ryunday]

f*cking hell I’m tired of this sh*t. Just make one topic and add to that.

[poikly]

For f*ck sake, I know I am the latest post of 5 topics but dude, STOP. IT. NOW.

 

EDIT: Are you an alt of Bluenothing65, TC?

Everyone originally posted those things because he made several different threads to post different parts of the story. And that dose matter.

[IntheEnd]

It's still a hell of a lot of work. Respect it. Honestly, I don't understand whats goin on, but I respect his work. I do think 4 threads is alittle too much, being the former admin of a major gaming site a few years back, I definately know that thats a little bit extreme (?) in a way, but yeah.

[poikly]

What do you all mean?

There is only one thread. This one.

[Chickstick]

There is only one thread. This one.

From what I've gathered, Leprechaun made a new topic for each new chapter instead of just replying to the original. Mods must have moved them all in here.

 

Sadly I missed this peice of drama. Maybe someone who was on here at the time can tell you more.

I'm sorry but...WHAT THEF*CK MAN!RE-ACTING THE WHOLE STORY OF SAN ANDREAS AND THEN JUST ADDING DIFFERENT NAMES!!!NO!BAD DOGGIE LOCK THIS THREAD AS IT'S JUST THE OPPISITE OF WHAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE!

 

[Canofceleri]

It's really hard for me to attempt to read anything that isn't well formatted. Try constructing paragraphs and separating them.

Yeah pretty much. The topic starter also posted same other stories as well at the same time.

 

@grim reaper22 did you even read the story, or did you just read TonyZimmzy’s post. Maybe this was supposed to be a San Andreas remake.

[Stefan.]

I can't be bothered reading one chapter of that.

 

Why don't you make something a tad more original? Like perhaps from the Ballas' perspective? And it's so long...

 

A San Andreas remake? Give me a break.
