Brody King

All Roads Collide The Aces had been “repairing” a few cars in the shop when Brody got a text from Travis Reggal asking if the shop was open. Over the last month, Brody and Travis had started to slowly build back some trust between GBK and The Aces. The two would work together to “repair” a few cars on occasion. This, in turn, led to some larger business ideas. The Aces had their problems with the Dragons but so did GBK so Brody came up with a plan. Knowing that if he was to open the shop that the Dragons would be there instantly, he used it to his advantage. Brody and Deandre got together after the bank escape and started to talk about some of the ideas he had. One plan was for The Aces to open their shop and GBK would bring cars in all day. It would be their day, they then decided on a time and date. “How about tomorrow at 6pm?” The two agreed then let their members know about the plans. The plan started off smoothly, GBK had brought in about three cars, everything was going to plan. The Aces were quickly dismantling them and putting the parts in crates, they then waited for GBK to come back with some new cars and, in turn, grab the crates. A call out over comms came through. “One red bike looks like a Dragon scout.” The Aces sat inside the garage waiting for GBK to come back with some more cars, or atleast come back for their parts. Either way they knew that GBK was going to have their back during the attack. “HERE THEY COME!” About 10-12 members of the Dragons pulled up, instantly they started to bolt cut in. Brody, Emily, and Ronnie stood inside the shop not knowing what to do. Tony, Scarlette, and Alex were outside the shop, the Dragons had circled Scarlett and it put Tony in a bad spot, he didn't want to see her hurt. At that time, an officer pulled by the shop and saw what was happening. He arrested one of the Dragon members and then went on his way. The chaos had gotten the best of the Aces at this point, their only hope was that GBK would show up… They tried to stay calm and come up with a plan but there were no other options. Brody grabbed the cars that were in the shop and began to block the doors. At that time, one of the Dragon members cut through the lock. The Aces tried to hold the door closed but the Dragons overpowered them. Again Brody had to drop to his knees in defeat, Ronnie and Emily followed. The Dragons were in and out with what they wanted. Brody was in shock, “where was GBK!?!?” The Aces didn't even have time to process what just happened when a swarm of cops showed up. Brody thought they were there for the Dragons so he began to explain what had just happened. While he was explaining everything to the cop, the cop looked up and asked. “Does that work?”, while pointing at the camera. “Yeah it does,” Brody replied. Then he asked to see the footage…. Brody must have rewound the footage too far, the cop started to ask some questions about people bringing in cars. He then saw Brody accept a car and pull it into the shop. They instantly started to accuse Brody of running an illegal chop shop and put him in cuffs. “This is a legal mechanic shop! How is it illegal for us to have parts laying around!” It was like they forgot they were there to look for what happened with the Dragons. They then walked out the front door. It was a scene, the cops had barricaded the entire road off. His members were shouting at the cops on scene wondering why Brody was being arrested. The cops wouldn't let anyone go past the barriers, Brody looked in front of his shop and saw a motorcycle laying on the ground. “That bike was owned by one of the people that just robbed us!” The statement fell on deaf ears as they already had their minds made up. The Dragon that left his bike had come back to the scene at that point, and was standing by the barricade. He asked if he could get his bike and to Brody's surprise, the cops moved to the side and let him walk through. Brody was fuming at this point, “THIS IS THE MOST CORRUPT FORCE IVE EVER SEEN! “ The cops then started going through the entire shop, unlocking every safe along the way. Inside the shop was full of parts and tools like any mechanic shop would be. Every shelf had parts, and every locker was filled with either wrenches or screwdrivers. The cops collected every car part and tool and put it into evidence. At that time Brody overheard a cop and one of the commissioners talking; it was a statement that changed everything. “You know we can seize this shop now right!?”

Diplomacy The Dragons were still breathing down The Aces neck after failing to get the chop shop the first time. After the “Formal Meeting”, [REDACTED] had given The Aces 24 hours to decide what they wanted to do. The Aces knew that they couldn't out gun the Dragons so they decided to try diplomacy, first offering $125,000 for them to leave the shop alone. Surprisingly, [REDACTED] responded and asked to meet up again. Brody, Jack, Mike, and Ryan showed up with a bag full of cash and paid them with hopes nothing else would come from it. Later that evening, Mike and Alex decided to head to the labs and make a little cash. After farming for about thirty minutes, a motorcycle pulled up and asked who they were. They identified themselves and let him know they were with The Aces, then the guy on the motorcycle drove off. An hour later, the same bike pulls up, this time in different clothing though. He started yelling “Hands or die!” then stated he was with the Dragons. Mike and Alex came back to the shop with empty hands and a story to tell Brody. “So I guess diplomacy did not work…..”

Working Together The evening after Brody got a call from Deandre King(leader of GBK), he was asking if the Aces meant what they said at the meeting and if they were willing to help out with a bank robbery. The plan was for Brody to get the cops’ attention and make a scene so GBK would have time to hit the bank with no worries. The Aces are pretty good when it comes to evading so that's just what they did. Brody rushed to his Issi and started to fly around the city trying to get the cops attention. A few minutes passed when all of a sudden blue lights came up behind him. Quickly he pulled over and sent a text to Deandre. ”I’ve got a cop, give me 10 mins and I'll have the whole force after me.” Brody waited for the officer to approach his car. Once he was close, Brody slowly took off. He looked in the rear view and only had the one cop on him, Brian Dox. He continued to go pretty slow at first, not wanting to lose the officer. Suddenly another cop arrived for backup, then another. Next thing, the whole police force was speeding through the city trying to catch him. Brody was constantly making circles, not trying to lose the cops but to make sure he had all the cops he could manage on him. Once he was pretty sure he had everyone, he took off again through the city. The chase continued for 35 minutes before Brody hit a light pole and stalled his car. At that point, the chase was over and everyone came to a screeching halt. Quickly, 4 cars had him blocked and Brody had nothing left to do but smile and put his hands up. He knew he had given them enough time to pull off what they needed to do, plus Deandre had offered to pay any fine that came from the chase. Brody served his time then gave Deandre a call, he explained the fines were about $10,000. Next thing Brody got a ping on his cellphone, “$20,000 has been transferred to you from Deandre King”. This seemed like the start of a new friendship.

Inner City Meeting Brody had begun spreading the word about their “formal meeting” with the Dragons. The entire city has been having constant problems with the Dragons, it seemed, so Naomi (leader of UG) rallied most of the clubs in the city to have a meeting and discuss everyone’s problems. There were seven organizations that were invited to the meeting; Aces, Irish, Underground, Salvation, GBK, Lost, and Saints. The meeting was planned for the Kortz building and a full team of scouts was sent to patrol the area. Once the area was locked down, High Command from every club was able to pull in. Quickly, Macc stepped up and stated the meeting spot had some issues, to which Brody replied stating he was having some PTSD from the slaying of his men that had just happened there the day prior. The clubs decided it would be best to move to a new location so they quickly decided on the dirt loop near Fort Zancudo. Brody hopped into Jack's Issi and they started heading to the spot. On arrival, they saw two green Jugulars parked up and a bike. They parked the Issi and hopped out. As they were walking up to the Irish, a PD cruiser pulled in. Two of the Irish members called the officer by name. Instantly tensions rose and guns were drawn. Jack and Brody rushed back to the Issi as everyone took off. Jack looked in his rear view mirror and saw how close the cops were. In front of him, the Irish had just made a left. Jack swerved to the right. The officer now had to make a choice and due to the Irish pulling the gun, they decided to follow them. Brody and Jack got back on the comms and tried to find out where to go. Some members of the meeting were setting up for an ambush on the cops while the rest were heading to the original meeting spot at the Overlook. Once everyone was able to get back to the Overlook, the meeting started. Everyone took turns explaining what had happened between them and the Dragons and the reasons that no one trusted doing business with them. After everyone shared their stories, the clubs began to talk about a peace between all the clubs that were attending. All the parties agreed then gave out their phone number so they could do some business together.

If you go to the furniture store and look at Wall 39 there is no image. I knew what wall it should be because I'm using Half Wall 39 and the long wall that matches. I tried to place Wall 39 and all my HUD disappeared. I noticed it wasn't in my inventory anymore so I clicked use on the other Wall 39 I had bought. It done the same thing but when I checked my inventory the original one I tried to place was now returned. I tried to logout and see if that would fix it, it didn't. I then made a Report 2 about it and Phillop answered. He also was having the same issue and told me to make a report on here. Link to video

Amazing idea! This could be something that legal factions could provide, like burnout who does a lot with cars. Simple car wash items like a rag and soap could be bought from a store but you would need to talk to a legal faction, LSC, Bayview, Burnout, or even the LSMC and buy a pressure washer first for them to work. Say a rag and soap takes 10 minutes to clean your car, kind of like taking a tool chest down, but if you buy the pressure washer the time is cut in half.

+1 Owning a car wash IC'ly and not being able to wash a car really limits every aspect of RP for owning a car wash.
