Sean-McLoughlin

Business is Business The first couple weeks of Sean being in White Rose have been a good change of pace compared to his previous environment. The organization fits well into Sean’s mindset of keeping the cards close to their chest while making as much money as possible not just for the future plans in the works but also to ensure there is enough money in the treasury and enough equipment and product stock-piled incase of an emergency. Danny, Blagi and Jack along with the other brokers have made Sean and the others who came with him from the sinking ship feel extremely welcome and have put them all to work in areas where their clear strengths lie. After noticing Sean’s talents with dealing with the logistics and production of narcotics along with his connections to Daichead Gadaí that he had gotten through the sales of cocaine for a number of weeks, both Blagi and Danny pulled Sean aside for a small meeting to offer him a chance at a bit more responsibility. They decided they would place him in charge of keeping track of the new account they were opening up with the Ballas. As this is what Sean is proficient at there was no hesitation to take the offer to get his name out there and to continue making more money not just for himself but for White Rose also. 30 minutes after this small meeting Blagi informed everyone that White Rose were to have their first meeting with the Ballas to talk business and to get to know each-other. Everyone who was available met up at the pub to head down together as the time approached Blagi received a call to come down. Sean stepped into his 8F Drafter with Amelia in the passenger seat and started his engine and drove out into the convoy slightly nervous as this was a different style of gang/organization he was used to working with. Those nerves rose as the convoy turned onto Grove Street to see a group of 20 or 30 people all in different colours, some purple, some blue and some yellow surrounding multiple police cruisers. The call came out over the radio to continue down into the cul de sac, park and wait for the Ballas to approach. While the other gangs seem to be keeping the LSPD occupied, 3 individuals wearing purple left the group and approached the White Rose brokers. Blagi introduced Sean and the other brokers to the individuals letting them know that these men were the Ballas high command. The meeting was relatively short because of the heavy police presence but even with that the meeting was very positive and ended with the guarantee of 2 lysergic shipments arriving later in that day. All the information the Ballers needed to know about White Rose and what the organization is about was also discussed, along with insuring them that White Rose is a business that can provide valuable services to their gang with the main phrase being uttered by the directors to anyone that they were having meetings with “Business is Business”. After enjoying watching LSPD struggle to control their situation Sean and the other brokers loaded up in the cars and headed back to the pub to debrief after the meeting. A couple days pass and it seems like a normal day down at the pub. A few things of note happened, like Damien and Emma coming down to properly introduce themselves to the rest of the brokers in the pub parking lot. An LSPD unit on the usual patrol route stopped in front of the entrance to the parking lot. The officer then came onto the private property telling director Blagi and broker Majik to remove their masks. When the officer was informed that this was private property he ignored it and repeated his demand, then he got the same response. Without saying anything he retreated to his cruiser only to return 20 minutes later with an additional officer to make the same demand, to remove their masks. At this point the situation had grabbed the attention of Danny who with his law degree tried to educate the officer but he didn’t have much luck. The officer then seemed to give up even though he had made threats that both Majik and Blagi would see jail time for not complying. Sean and the other brokers along with two of the directors felt that the harassment by this officer should be brought to the notice of his higher-ups so they went to make a complaint. After making the complaint they returned back to the pub parking lot to continue chatting and enjoying some drinks in the great weather, assuming the earlier situation with LSPD had been put to bed. Little did they know what was awaiting them on the way back down the road to the pub. The firstofficer that had shown up earlier that day showed up again, followed by multiple detective units and not long after that the swat unit arrived The brokers, including Sean, couldn’t believe their eyes with what is happening as many of them started breaking out into laughter with jokes going throughout the group such as “didn’t realise swat needed to be called for wearing a mask” “you swear we just robbed a fucking bank” the detectives first tried to enforce what the officer was demanding for Blagi and Majik to remove their mask but hearing this Danny stepped forward with all his employees standing behind him smirking and smiling. He then proceeded to reiterate that this was his private property, even offering to show documentation of his ownership along with everyone in the parking lot being under his employ. Sean could notice that some officers and detectives were whispering, looking a bit confused on whether they should press the mask issue or not but in the end officers began to leave one by one because at this point they had attracted the attention of weazel news reporter who started recording the encounter. As the last detective left the pub Danny turned back to everyone smirking and said “White Rose 1, LSPD 0”. An extremely productive week for Sean and White Rose was topped off by a day of promising meetings with Ballas and The Lost Motorcycle Club. Sean, Blagi and Jack headed down to Grove Street to discuss selling product and a weapon shipment that had been compromised. Daichead Gadaí showed up to the drop as well, thinking it was another gangs shipment. When realising that it was in fact White Rose picking up the shipment they left them to work and load up. The meeting with Ballas was abruptly interrupted by a gang that had been materialising over the week; they drove matte black cars and wore all black clothing with red masks that look Asian in origin. They introduced themselves as a subdivision of the black hand triads to the Ballas and to the brokers and began to give information about themselves and their short term plans, Sean thought to himself that they were a bit disrespectful with how they came in and overtook a meeting. He also definitely felt some tension in the air as the different organizations were talking. Sean leaned over to Blagi and Jack and whispered “these guys are new but they are going to try to be our competition for now, we can not let them bring in more product than us” both Blagi and Jack nodded to Sean. As all the business that was needed to be discussed was talked about, the brokers and directors got into their cars and headed back to the pub to regroup for their meeting with The Lost Motorcycle Club. Everyone met up at the pub where Danny was waiting. Before loading up, Sean and few others caught Danny up with how the meeting went and the information about this new gang, and that they were calling themselves a sub division of the Black Hand Triads but they assured Danny that they were nothing to be concerned about as of yet. Everyone loaded up into 2 Kamachos and headed up to Stab City to meet with The Lost Motorcycle Club to reassure the long standing connection the two groups have after a bit of reshuffling of their high commands. This meeting went as good as every other recent meeting with Danny leading the way introducing Sean and everyone to the motorcycle club. After the introduction the President of the club invited the brokers into the clubhouse out of the sun, something that was appreciated by the directors and brokers as they were all wearing formal wear. While inside, everyone was given a tour of the clubhouse with some grabbing some drinks at the bar. Sean had a look around and he was impressed by the professionalism of the biker gang as it was not something he was expecting to experience. The meeting came to a close, adding another successful venture to the books. This bought a couple days time to hammer home the prices for shipments of lysergic and weapons but it would be something that the directors and high command would need more time to discuss. long On another note, the phrase “business is business” was quickly becoming a motto of White Rose. The brokers then loaded up and headed back to the pub to relax for a few hours before ultimately getting back to work and doing what they do best, make money.
