With The Gentlemen's Club having a few minor set backs in the previous weeks. It was now time to put their heads down and work for what they wanted to see. They knew they had a fair few jobs to get done in order to get back to where they were previously. But with a little grit and determination it wasn't in any doubt that they could reach their goal. With Cyril packing up and selling the previously owned property for full market value, they original investors put that money back into apartments and other means to begin shipping and moving product for the organisation. With Reggie working toward creating a large grow operation and Zak and Alex making Ricky work to repay his loans and debts it was all coming together. Reggie and Trigger were moving at some pace now to get their cook operation back up and running, with a stack of tables and an apartment purchased it was full steam ahead for the pair. With Charlie not too attached to the previous drugs lab other than through monetary assets his side of the business was relatively unharmed. His contacts within the gun running community were growing and the sun was still shining. Moving forward he was looking to create bigger contacts with some of the people higher up within other organisations and syndicates. With aims to get their name out there as a key player in the city of LS. Times were looking good for The Gentlemen's Club. (Cyril admiring the new view from his apartment)

Cyril Blount, Cyril is a haulage firm owner from the midlands England. Heavy set and weathered Cyril has dealt with the well to do, and the down right scandalous wile running his no questions asked haulage firm, which has made him a shrewd businessman with a no bullshit attitude. He will move anything for anyone as long as the price is right and takes personal responsibility for clients product not shy of bringing a few Gentleman with him to make sure the job gets done. Moving to Los Santos after being put in charge of developing Dong's Empire and to grow the Gentleman's club over seas. Cyril first set to gathering man power to pump and ship oil to generate some spending power, while the other seated networked and got the lay of the land. He now sits at head of table, and the Gentleman's Club is growing steadily. A wry grin grows on his face as he thinks about the things to come.

Charlie Dong, The Nephew of the great Uncle Dong, Heir to The Gentlemen's Club UK fortunes, a man with a smooth tongue. Charlie has been sent over with Cyril and the others to over see goings on within the expansion process of The Club and feedback to his uncle with how things are coming along. Charlie was raised in the back hand dealings of the casino so knows the who's who and what's what of the criminal underground. Growing up Charlie only knew his mother. A small Chinese woman who never took no for an answer, as to what happened to his father that is a question that still remains unanswered. When Charlie was 10 he was brought into the "Dong Family Empire" a ring of Casinos and gambling dens in and around London. Charlie was originally tasked with eavesdropping into high up business conversations going on around and feeding them back to his Uncle. In turn he would be paid and looked after. Upon finding out about Cyrils plans to move over to Los Santos Charlie knew that this would be his next big break in the world. After 6 months of convincing Uncle Dong to send him over with Cyril it was all put in place, Charlie would have 1 year in America to make the club a successful venture and worth while. Upon arrival Charlie instantly went to work meeting the locals from down the pier to the far northern town of Paleto Bay. Charlie was relishing in the possibilities and work that was still to come his way.

It was standard morning for Charlie Dong, he rose into the city around 7am and decided it seemed like the perfect day for a quick spot of fishing up near the Los Santos dam. As he arrived to the top of the dam, the sparrows whistled overhead, the low hum of the street racers in the city echoed through the hills. Life was blissful. Charlie was ready today was the day he could finally earn the respect of his Uncle Dong. It was time for his monthly report. As a bright pink Futo RS pulled up to Charlies right a loud boom was heard echoing out from the city. As it raced of the tower skyscrapers of Downtown it hit a crescendo of the side of the dam, shaking the windows of Charlies car. This was no normal backfiring engine, this was something more. Instantly Charlie was on The Club radio "Tell me that wasn't any of ours" a moments hesitation before he heard Arthur respond "No Charlie, I have just cooled our tables and headed down the pier" A sigh of relief was let out and Charlie resumed his day....BOOM BOOM BOOM....three more loud bangs rang clear through Charlies spine, knocking him off his feet this time he knew. This could only be one thing. "Tell me that wasn't ours Arthur" Charlie rang across the radio "Charlie mate, there's cops and the fire department outside" Arthur responded Charlie decided it was best not to reply. He feared not for his own life but for those of Ricky and Arthurs. They had just destroyed The Chefs $700,000 cook operation. This was something that he thought not even he would be able to get them out of. Ricky was quick to reach Charlie at the dam asking him "How do I fix this" Charlie at the time could only think of one thing. Ricky needed a loan and he needed it now. Ricky headed out to find a loan whilst Arthur decided to flea to the north in order to avoid any chances of bumping into any law enforcement or worse, Reggie in a bad mood. Later in the day. Ricky and Arthur met up to discuss together what they were going to do moving forward. In a private location Arthur told Ricky he wanted out, he couldn't do it anymore. He would offer The Club what was left in his account and he would part ways hopefully peacefully. The Seated accepted the money, but you don't just walk away from The Gentlemen's Club. You are all in or you are out. This is what comes with the territory. The Kumar brothers meet with Arthur at the bank, claim the money and inform Arthur that Cyril would like to meet with him. Arthur gets into the passenger side of the vehicle. Little did he know this would be his last journey walking the earth as he knows it. The brothers took Arthur into a remote riverside location where Reggie was waiting for them. Cyril had given the thumbs up, it was time for Arthur to go. After a brief word, Reggie asked Arthur if he had anything final to say. Any message to pass on to any loved ones or family. Arthur took it in his stride and took the knee. Slowly Reggie grabbed his pistol from his left hip, cocked back the trigger and squeezed. Arthur had fallen. The three left his body there. Now it was time to deal with Ricky....

With the expanding business and future ventures already being put into place. Cyril and The Seated held a meeting to discuss expansion, with Ryan mentioning the 2 lads that he had met down the pier being high quality candidates. Cyril decided to take Ryan for his word and held a meeting with the two Gents up near the Los Santos Dam. After and extensive interview and briefing on the current position of The Club. The two new men were brought into the fold. Ready and eager to work, Arthur and Ricky were ready to begin wherever they were needed. (Arthur and Ricky) With plans moving forward and the expansion of The Club, it was time to work forward into the illegal markets of Los Santos. With previous experience in cooking Reggie was tasked with collecting his RV and The Club gathered the resources to cook on the move. To begin with the RV was worthwhile, however The Club quickly outgrew the RV and decided to collect their funds together each donating 50,000$ into the gang treasury and working towards buying a small property in the city. After a couple of days searching The Club had its budget set to 500,000 dollars and were able to pick up a small house on the South East side of the city. With the house secure and the new furniture in place it was all systems go. Trigger was set with the task of finding someone to buy the new items that were being manufactured within the home. This however proved to be simple for Trigger and found 2 buyers within the next day. It was time to mass produce. (The Chef) It was a somewhat standard night for The Club, after a busy day in the kitchens The Gentlemen's Club made their way down to the pier. Whilst discussing their schedules over the coming day, a man dressed all in white approached them shouting Cyril's name. "The Man In White" had been through an ordeal and was now requesting the help of the Gentlemen's Club to retrieve his stolen items and teach those that did him wrong to think twice before attacking. Before "The Man In White" could even finish speaking The Club were in their vehicles and the pursuit began. It wasn't long before Cyril had caught wind of the stolen Drop Top Windsor, and so the chase began. Reggie picked "The Man In White" up and pursued the vehicle to the local butchers where a gun fight ensued, however as everyone is soon to learn, Reggie is not someone you want to cross once he has seen red. Once the vehicle had been retrieved and "The Man In White" was happy with the work completed he approached Cyril with a business opportunity that seemed to good to turn down. The next day turned out to be rather eventful for The Club. During Cyril's meeting with "The Man In White" it was brought forward that "The Man In White" wanted to invest into what they were building, offering forward a second location under his name along with anything that they may need to cook and earn from within. (Cyril meets with "The Man In White") During the meeting "The Man In White" brought forward plenty of possible opportunities to help The Club moving forward. With "The Man In White" being a citizen for a little while longer than some of the members within The Club, he had a few more connections. Including car dealership owners, Property investors and many more. He was offering a way into The Club a way for The Club to move forward. However this was a move that Cyril would need to run past The Seated so he thanked "The Man In White" and took the information into a table meeting with The Seated. This was a sign of brighter things to come. With organisation and expansion, comes separation and tough decisions. On the eve of the 18th of March it was time for The Gentlemen's Club to bid farewell to one of their own... First we need to roll our timeline back a few days, The Gentlemen's Club had branched out drastically in their first week, and were now in the business of growing, cooking and shipping. The Seated had pulled their funds together and were ready to purchase a house along with tables and all the equipment needed for the chef to start his process (see above) Money was coming in thick and fast, the gang bank was being cushioned nicely The Seated were earning more money than they knew what to do with. Driving nice cars, attending the biggest events, it was all finally starting to come together and look positive for The Club. The Sun was shining fully upon The Gentlemen's Club...for now. Upon expansion and business matters now becoming the forefront of their attentions. The Seated approached Cyril with the prospect of bringing in Ricky and Arthur (See "Business Expansions") Cyril agreed it was time to bring them into the fold and use them as runners for The Club to speed up the process. They would pay them for the products brought in, and in return get access to The Clubs benefits and connections within the community. Little did Cyril or any of The Seated know that this partnership would bring all their walls crumbling down around them. On the days leading up to "The Incident" everything was running smoother than anyone could imagine. The product was flowing in and out the door, the new boys were proving to be quite the addition to the operation. At this point in time all the funds made from the house were going back out The Club Bank Account. This was creating the ability to further the clubs abilities within the city, develop, grow and expand. As days passed business was booming. Nothing could stop The Gentlemen's Club from reaching their final goals. After a week or so had passed it The Seated held a meeting, it was time to give The Boys their first proper promotion into The Club. Reggie had approached The Seated with the proposal of allowing Ricky and Arthur the chance to cook in "The Kitchen" for a small price. $10,000 per day per person. That was the price. Based on what the rest of The Club was making through this income, this amount seemed fairly feasible. Ricky and Arthur were quick to accept this and promised The Seated that they were ready for the responsibility that came with it. With this move The Seated were able to focus on other forms of income. Charlie and Zak met up with a quiet gentlemen up at the bank promising them great things from crates of what he called "Water Pistols" this was a straight forward question for the pair. It was time to start shipping in illegal weaponry. Upon beginning operations within "The Kitchen" Reggie showed the two young men the ropes within the kitchen. Exactly how he liked it done, exactly how it should be done. No mistakes. The Boys were now on their own. A day or so passed before any hiccups came, however this speedbump was a little larger than what they thought it would be. Ricky requested a meeting with Cyril. As the new boy this was a big deal, the only reason you call on "The Head Of The Table" is if what you need to discuss is of immediate concern. Everyone was all ears. Ricky stepped into the room and informed The Seated and Cyril that he would not be able to provide the $10,000 per day due to commitments that he had made to further his business within the world and bettering his surroundings. After some careful consideration, it was decided that "The Kitchen" would become a free-house. Free for any of The Clubs members that wanted to cook, or for any of the members that wanted a safe storage. Times were changing. The Seated although disappointed in Ricky and Arthur. Saw this as chance to really start earning once again. Trigger and Reggie especially would be cooking in the house 12 hours a day. Whilst Charlie expanded the weapons industry within the club, The Kumar brothers were quietly making fortunes for themselves along with Ryan up in the deserts oil fields. The Sun shone once again upon The Gentlemen's Club, nothing could stop the momentum that they were gaining.

With The Gentlemen's Club getting themselves established onto the Governments website. It was time for The Seated to sit down and discuss what was next. The Seated met at an apartment to discuss how everyone's branches had been coming along, Zak and Alex brought up business opportunities that they had discovered whilst up on the oil fields to the north. Whilst Trigger had been busy meeting contacts down at the poker tables of Taqui-la-la's, Ryan and Charlie had both been busy creating contacts over on the pier. With their name getting out there, Cyril and Reggie have started to move into the illegal industries of the cities. Collecting tables and ventilators, it was time for "The Chef" to start cooking and the boys to start moving. The Seated decided to start the operations at a manageable size, not to expand too quick or too fast. And so it began, with Reggie cooking and Cyril and Trigger finding potential buyers. It was time to gain the profit of the hard work put in over the past few weeks of work. Whilst this is happening Ryan and Charlie try to make contact with 2 friends they had recently met by the names of Arthur, Ricky and Lee. Ryan brought this up in the meeting about the possibility of using these three as runners for product, having them pay into the Club would bring possibility of covering costs for the expansions. Cyril is set to have a meeting within the coming days with the three of them. This is just the start. Regards, Charlie Dong

The name The Gentleman's Club is a Crime Syndicate that has come from Charlie Dong's uncle who has an already thriving chain of clubs and poker dens in London England among other businesses and properties, which the group intend to extend into Los Santos. Continuing a similar structure of legitimate businesses masking other forms of revenue, from drugs to eventually importing and transportation for clients. The Gentleman's club's founding members met in London at Dong's Casino run by Charlies Uncle. Reggie and Ryan worked the doors, while Trigger lost and won his life saving at cards every weekend. Cyril owned a private haulage company that supplied the Casino with raw goods and transported anything the owner needed no questions asked. With the success of his private haulage firm Cyril Approached Dong with an offer to move and extend his business and Cyril's haulage firm over the pond to become international. After much persuasion and Cyril's word he would build it from the ground up, with no hand outs other than to bare the companies name Dong agreed. He gave Cyril his pick of men to take over seas with him, sending Charlie over too, to watch proceedings and lay some ground work by networking the locals. After landing in Los Santos the group headed straight to the docks dropping off Archie and Charlie at what looked like local hot spots to begin their work mingling with the locals. On the docks Cyril bumped into two Englishmen hard at work loading goods wagons which he later found out where owned privately by the brothers Zack and Alex Kumar. Zack and Alex Kumar are from a rough upbringing in Moss Side, Manchester. Abandoned by their parents when they were thirteen, they where left with no choice but to learn how to survive. Raised by Manchester's underbelly. Years went by and the brothers became involved with illegal bookmaking. This led to a huge score giving them more money than they had ever seen before, allowing them to leave behind their past and gain a small foothold over in Los Santos and purchase the haulage vehicles. These where exactly the kind of people Cyril needed to begin gaining revenue for the club. Now the game is afoot. The Club must gather as many contacts as they can while trying to remain a neutral party and hopefully become a respected and established firm. Now that the club has established it's foothold within the communities, its next aim is to become a recognised Syndicate. Creating the opportunity to import and sell illegal and legal good into Los Santos. Looking forward the club hopes to create a strong property portfolio and rent out within its local neighbourhood of Del Perro. With the take over of the local neighbourhood completed, The Gentlemen will aim to raise the fund to purchase a legal nightclub in order to front the illegal activities that they will be running. Along with the Nightclub the aim is to host events and mixers for those within the higher society of life. Where people can come and complete business transaction with the knowledge that they are not going to be interfered with or disturbed.
