Payday doesn't usually look so good, but for the Brotherhood it was the wind down to a successful day. Today's venture was a combined effort of producing and selling drugs while robbing small convenience stores. The president and the treasurer had the arduous task of staying and looking after a significant growing operation of marijuana along with procured supplies to make harder substances. With both the location and product a tempting target they took an unusual approach, instead of arriving armed and ready to fight they appeared unarmed. Bringing non essentials to limit loss in cause something were to happen during the long cooking hours. Quietly growing and managing tables with the occasional trip to resupply. Thankfully tonight's troubles was only in the form of some joyriders who had stolen a police cruiser. Making their way down to the operation with full lights and megaphone it was truly a testament to previous interactions and Brotherhood protocols to switch to a new potentially more secure frequency. Once the excitement passed and it was realized to be a false alarm the Brotherhood quickly reconvened to continue the night. This boded well with the secondary crew of the night which consisted of a few other High ranking and various other members throughout the day and night. Having the excellent idea to fully utilize available manpower and began to rob convenience stores throughout the day. Ensuring that while the plantations may be full, cash registers and wallets are not. It was a sporadic and chaotic spree. Sure to go to varied locations and taking the proper precautions with setup and getaway plans. It was a smooth operation until later in the evening, throughout the day and particularly into the night police presence in Los Santos picked up significantly. Never one to be deterred the Brotherhood continued the spree, nearly having a few close calls and near misses. Still we made it until the very late into the night, taking our chances with a store on the outskirts of town we began taking the cash. It was a tense but comfortable few minutes of familiar action... All until a police cruiser was seen driving by, at first dismissive of the cop. After all, what cop would continue driving past a robbery in progress? We were proven wrong when less than a minute later the cop came back around. Quickly realizing the situation, the members inside all attempted to flee to the bikes hidden behind the store. Sadly 2 members were tazed and taken down in the escape. Unable to save our friends from incarceration, it was a bitter pill to swallow. Leaving The rest of the crew to finish fleeing from the cops and make the drop to our contact to rid ourselves of the packed cash. Fortunately there seemed to be little excitement after words as one of the remaining trio flew out for the night. Leaving the final two to quietly made their way to our contacts, who was more than happy to assist the two with laundering the acquired money from the day. After some time discussing future plans and spending some times with friends it was time for the Brotherhood to convene for the night. The remaining members including the president and other high ranking officials all meet at the bank to pool the funds and make our splits. It was a good night, filled with profits and expectations for the future. Tempered with somber reality that not every time can be as carefree and promising, evident with 2 brothers behind bars. As Dawn slowly breaks over the city, it brings a bright future for The Brotherhood.
