"When stalking one's prey, it is best to take one's time. Say nothing, and as sure as eggs he will become curious and emerge." - Harper Lee Dean Donovan, Police Officer II of The Los Santos Police Department. Also, the man responsible for revoking multiple Rook gun licenses. After spotting Dean and his vehicle multiple times throughout the day, Al and a few Rooks decided to stalk Dean and see where he went next. Around 2 hours later, Dean finally had left the club and he was on his own. The Rooks immediately surrounded him, throwing a mask and bag over his head and stuffed him in the back of the contender. But there was one problem, there was one civilian nearby who had witnessed everything. The Rooks immediately were forced to throw that Civilian in the back seat as well. They then continued to an undisclosed location. After bringing the Civilian and Dean Donovan to the undisclosed location, The Rooks began to attempt to pry information out of Officer Donovan. After not getting the information they wanted out of Dean, they decided to through with a different plan that involved the civilian. After The Rooks failed to pry information, they began to torture the Civilian. Al Romano took out his gun and pressed it against the Civilians leg, whilst at the same time there was an AK-47 pointed at Dean. Seeing a civilian get tortured began to enrage Dean. All the information the Rooks wanted was discovered immediately in the hopes of saving the Civilians life. After Dean's rage had built up, they had tackled and began to resist. Events occurred which allowed the Civilian to flee, but in the end both Dean and the Civilian were both apprehended by both Zion and Al. Moments later, the Civilian made a secretive phone call to the cops, which forced them to switch locations. It was time to start the second phase of the operation. The whole time the Civilian was Al Romano's brother, Bo Romano. They had told Bo to pretend as if he's a Civilian and to do whatever it is necessary to ensure Dean believes he's a random Civilian. So that's what happened, after bringing Dean and Bo to the second location they had started to plan for the second phase.. Part 2 - Coming soon..

The Return of Al Romano Upon leaving the Triads, Al Romano looked to find his place back home in The Rooks. He exited his plane after taking a day trip out of the city to work on future business deals with whoever he was going to join up with next. Upon his return to the city, Al was welcomed off the plane by a few Rooks. From that point he had strongly considered going back.. After arriving back in the city from his trip, he made his way to the Triads Noodle Shop to try and see if anyone was around. He wanted to ensure that he was still in good standings after leaving their organization. After talking with a few of the members inside they ensured he would be fine. Once he made sure he was on good standings with the Triads, he had considered rejoining The Rooks. So he made his way over there, and met up with the Underboss Rose Mcgarden. She filled him in on the current status of The Rooks, and he briefly mentioned that he wanted to come back. So she told him to speak with Dmitri, but she was fine with it. So Al entered the Restaurant and was welcomed in by Dmitri. They got straight to business and Dmitri ultimately ended up letting Al back in and giving him the rank of Enforcer. He then decided he wanted to set up a meeting with a few of The Rooks. Upon arriving at the meeting, Al met a few new recruits and met up with some familiar faces. He went over what he planed to do with The Rooks, and the changes he'd hope to make. Many of the members were happy for his return. But he had a surprise that they were unaware of... Al decided to buy out the Vanilla Unicorn for a day as a thanks for The Rooks allowing him to return. The members of The Rooks were treated to a nice dinner and some entertainment at the Vanilla Unicorn. After the day was over he mentioned that there would be some major events happening in the next coming of days.

Even if so, Criminals should have to be working legal jobs to make good money. They should be able to make an extremely good amount of money from drug dealing, and selling.

Official factions already have this, it's called a treasury.

Currently in the server there is really no point to during criminal actives, hence why you see criminals getting legal jobs. In order to fix this a few things could be done. 1. Increase Risk for Reward As of right now if you're doing drug labs, it's not worth spending hours upon end to make less money then you would working at LSC for an hour or two. Drugs should either sell at a higher rate as most of the time if you're cooking at any lab besides LSD you cook with more then 2 people most of the time. After spending several hours at the lab, you really make only 15k each if you have three people. Compared to a legal job that really isn't worth it. 2. More profitable robberies As of right now all you can is rob general stores, another way for criminals to make money could be robberies such as Robbing a Jewelry store. As of right now there is no use for the jewelry store. One is located at this position on the map. The Jewelry store already has an interior, as shown below. How it could work: First off in order to execute the robbery it should take a minimum of 3-5 different people, and an X amount of police. It would also only be able to take place at times when stores are normally closed. So from 22:00 - 8:00. Inside the store should be one NPC Security guard. One person would need to have a gun on him at all times, the moment a gun would be pointed off of him is when the police/SWAT would be alerted. While one person has their gun on the security guard. The second person would be in the office hacking the computer, taking down all of the cameras, etc. A mini game would be present similar to this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYpLW2JUOu4 (Don't know if that's possible.) If the person on the computer messes up 3 times the police would be alerted and the criminals would be forced to leave. In the case that someone does not hack the computer there would be a 5:00 timer and if someone does not start the hack on the computer in that amount of time the police would be alerted. The third person would be tasked with actually stealing the jewelry from the cases. Each case could be worth anywhere from 10-25k each but each time the glass would be broken there would be a 10% chance the police would be alerted. That person would need to have an empty bag on them and instead of the jewelry going into your pockets, it would go directly into that empty bag. Each bag should be able to carry roughly 10 pieces of jewelry. Hence why you would want more people robbing with you so you can double that. Finally, upon completion your team would leave the jewelry store going to a drop off point where they would make the money, once they leave the store the police would immediately get notified about the robbery. The drop off point should be at a far location away from the city possibly either in Sandy shores or Paleto bay. Note that is just an idea of how the Jewelry store robbery could work, and in order to steal everything in the store it would take at least three people at the minimum but more realistically if you wanted to be successful 5 people. 3. Add a reason for Non-Official gangs to buy a laptop. Instead of the laptop just being for imports, add a section where civilians can chat with members of official factions to buy guns. Not only does this give more profit to criminals, but at the same time it adds more stuff to do. To make this work though, the prices of laptops would need to be dropped to around ~25k. Every time a message is sent to a gang member on the laptop, there could be a small chance for the police to intercept that message. Note: I tried making it fair for both the Criminals and Police.
