"What strings did that prick pull to turn this parking lot into a one way deathtrap?" 
- Romeo cussed as he kicked a few bullet casings off the rooftop of the apartment complex.
"It's only a matter of time before this cop is going to become a problem, I like to have a backup in place before that happens, I'll hit you up in a bit" Tyrone replied. 

Tyrone climbed down the roof and drove off in his Issi Sport. 

About 40 minutes later Romeo's phone rang, it showed Unknown Caller ID. 
Romeo answered the phone: "Tyrone, got an update for me?" 
"Found a place, the group that used to occupy it has permanently vacated it. I'll text you the address" Tyrone replied.
"Brilliant, i'll meet you in about 30 minutes." Romeo said before hanging up the phone.  

As Romeo arrived, Tyrone flicked his cigarette away. "Welcome home" he jokingly said.
Romeo laughed as Tyrone started to show him around. "Alright, fuck it.. Let's go. Tell the boys to pull up and we move all the shit over today.."

With Christmas well underway, many members had taken this time to book flights to go visit family members. Some members managed to get jobs as mechanics, laying low and ensuring vehicles were fixed within the community. Although things were slow this didn’t stop them from keeping on top of the territory and supplying the city with drugs and guns as well.

*Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year*

Chief Pharmacist

“Here’s the list of ingredients, prices and the cooking times you requested” Stevie said as he presented the note on Danny’s desk. “Thank you Stevie, i’ll run the numbers and get these back to you. I want to streamline our process when cooking” “Streamlining the process, that’s music to my ears Danny Boy… I have some ideas of my own in thisregard” Stevie replied. “You mind if I share them with you?” He continued. “Not at all, go ahead” Danny shut the lid of his laptop and gestured Stevie to take a seat on the other side of the desk. “Alright, thank you so: I have been thinking of doing a centralized organization of materials when cooking. One person only works the tables and depending on the lab, people bring in materials, I make sure it gets cooked, and depending on the manpower we could have a few runners siphoning the product out to a safe deposit location.” Danny nodded and replied: “This sounds great, I want big organized holds to be just that: Organized” “Now that you made this suggestion, would you want to take up the responsibility to make it a reality, Stevie?” Danny asked. Stevie paused for a moment, he expected a bit more resistance on the idea. Before he could answer though, Danny continued: “I wont need an answer right now, I will present this proposal to the board and we’ll finetune the details. But, since you brought up the change I would like to offer you the opportunity to step up to the plate.” “Personally I feel the role would fit you naturally. If you accept I will also make sure our contacts with the cartel are aware that you will be ordering ingredients on behalf of the Empire.” Stevie couldn’t help but smile after hearing this.Danny must’ve noticed the smile because he continued:“Right then, let me know whenever you’re ready, if there’s nothing else I shall return to my spreadsheets…” “I appreciate the opportunity” Stevie said as he lifted himself from the chair. Danny opened his laptop back up and looked over to Stevie and asked: “It is decided then?” “Fuck yeah, let’s do it!” Stevie said.Danny nodded and said “Allright then, Chief Pharmacist”

Valued stakeholder of Empire Global,

Firstly, we wish you all a happy Newyear!
And we hope this message finds you well.
2024 has come to a close and 2025 is looking to shape up to be an eventful year.

This message is mainly an update in policy, following the events on the night of January 12th 2025. 
We implore all affiliated members of the Empire corporation to lay low.
There was a significant development in one of the operations of Empire Ordnance Distribution.
The Operation was successful despite the attempted intervention from law enforcement. 
Our preparations ensured the product was secure, however in the chase that followed from the deal that took place,
some members did inadvertently get arrested.

Because the situation isn’t entirely clear at this point in time, and we’re unaware of the extent of [REDACTED]’s involvement
with law enforcement, we implore anyone affiliated with the corporation to lay low until further notice. 

Kind regards, Romeo Knight, CEO
R.K.

After a successful operation in which The Empire managed to acquire nearly a million dollars worth of guns, it was decided that the team needed to lay low for a little while in order to keep the police off their backs. As the sun shone over the city of Los Santos, the family took to the roads to show off their new cars and spend some quality time together. With everyone sat on the bonnets of their cars, they all laughed and reminisced about the times they had shared together. Some of them had spent years away in prison to protect the big lick they had acquired, so to see everyone smiling and back together again cruising around the city was a perfect way to show the people of Los Santos that they were back and stronger than ever. As the group made their way into the HQ, they saw that the car park was littered with blue quadbikes. “Yo, Empire!” a voice droned from the garage. The door slowly opened, and [REDACTED] made his way out towards them. “We want a meeting with you lot, you already know what this is about”. The Empire had already been not only close allies, but friends with all of the members of the new group that had formed and was stood before them. After a successful meeting discussing business and their future alliance, it was decided they would all go and hold [REDACTED] together.

Valued partners in the Cartel, this message is regarding a formal Inquiry for custom import.

 

Over the past weeks members of our Ordnance Distribution Division have been approached multiple times, with requests to purchase [REDACTED].

Thus far, our organisation has not been able to meet the requests of these customers directly and there’s considerable delays in the supply chain when we go through our business partners. This has been addressed in our latest board meeting and the idea was brought up to start manufacturing our own.

Our plan is as follows:

 

We believe we have much of the logistics up and running. We have a network of individuals who provide us with a steady supply of [REDACTED]. 

 

Members from our Automotive Division have a steady supply of [REDACTED], especially the [REDACTED], which our [REDACTED] could [REDACTED], and use them as the [REDACTED].

We would require the necessary tools to [REDACTED].

 

If this proposal interests you, we would like to organise a meeting to further discuss details on this business opportunity.

Kind regards,

"Romeo, I have an idea. I think Scarlett will especially love this." Surgio said with excitement in his voice. "We've been raking in stacks of cash by selling drugs these past weeks. But I realised we have this entire untapped legal market, ripe for the picking"

• he continued.

"Hold on, let me ring Danny. He needs to hear this."

• Romeo said as he took his phone out of his pocket and turned it back on.

Romeo typed a text message reading: 'come to the club.' Danny must've been close because it wasn't more than a few minutes later he entered the office. He stepped in with a cheerful "yo yoo" and asked what was happening. Romeo gestured to Surgio an said "go ahead, it's your idea" Surgio was happily surprised his input was valued an the idea got the attention from the higherups. "So" Surgio started off.. "We've been making good money on the illegal front. But I would like to expand our legal side. The legals of this city are swimming in cash, and do not know what or when to spend it... Why don't we solve that problem for them, and provide them with some entertainment" A smile formed on Danny's face "go on, you got my attention" "I want to take over the entertainment scene in this city. I want everyone to think of the Empire as the company with the sickest events. Every two weeks, we'll bring something different, raffles, comedy shows, games, races, car shows, the ideas are endless. I want to sell exclusive media rights to Weazel News. I want everyone to associate us with the entertainment, so that our illegal endeavors can stay under the radar" Danny nodded and replied: "When we founded the Empire, we wanted ties in every facet of the city. This idea will fall neatly into place with that vision, thank you Surgio" Danny grabbed his tablet, tapped the screen a few times. looked up and said: "here, you got all the funds you need to make this a reallity. I'll cover the legal side and put it under the licenses of the Avalon.” “Thank you for this!"

Romeo received a call. - Unknown Caller ID.
He picked up anyway 
“Meet us in five minutes at the parking lotbehind Wax Haven and Vinewood Tours.” 
The voice said. 
“Make sure you have your Board Members there. We’ll have a chat and discuss the future.”
The Caller hang up.

Romeo put his phone away and told Tyrone and Matei: “That was Cartel, we meet them in five. Ty, you call Ryan. Matei if you could get Danny. I will go pick up Scarlett.
We meet at the parking behind Wax Haven”

The three dropped what they were doing and each went their own way to gather
the rest of the board members. They all arrived shortly after at the secluded lot.
There was a noticeable tension in the air as they all waited for cartel to show up. 
A Blacked-out supercar pulled into one of the parking bays. Two men step out.

“Hello Empire friends” one of them spoke as they walked over to the group.
“You’ve been putting in work” The [REDACTED 1] spoke. 
“Apart from a few minor hiccups it’s overwhelmingly good work too” - [REDACTED 2] added.
“That’s why we want to give you guys the opportunity to impress us. This property here, it’s been vacant for a while... and you’re a Business Organisation. So, I’m going to hand you the keys. And you do what you do best. Flip it, turn it profitable and bring some life back to this part of the Boulevard.”

“We expect you will not disappoint us... And if you do, we'll just take back what’s ours.”
“Don’t worry, We won’t disappoint you, Ryan will know just what to do with it.” - Romeo Replied.

“Well... That’s what we’re hoping for too. And as a further expansion of our partnership. We’re going to let you guys import these from us from now on.” [REDACTED 2] walked over to the back of his car, popped open the trunk Picked up an AP pistol and an SMG. He handed the SMG to Matei and gave the AP pistol to Scarlett, I’m sure you guys can put these to good use.”

“Yes! Very much so, thank you!” Scarlett said with excitement in her voice.

“Oh, one more thing” - [REDACTED 1] said as he reached back into the trunk. “Tyrone, What do you think of this?” The man took out a Combat MG, the thing must have barely fit into the trunk of the car.“Whoa?! What do I think?!” Tyrone replied. “I think I want to put it to use!” His voice was full of excitement. “Are you serious?” He asked.

“The cartel doesn’t joke around. All of  this is a sign of trust.
Break that trust and it goes away...  Your actions decide
where this partnership goes, keep up the good work!”

[REDACTED 1] and [REDACTED 2] handed Romeo the key to the Wax Haven and stepped back into their car, “We will be in touch” [REDACTED 1] said. As they drove off Danny slapped Romeo on the back and said:

“A great start to the next chapter my friend!”

1. "Right, I've secured us another deal. Everyone gear up, we'll hold down the fort, cook a fat batch and we can order whatever we want, import prices." Romeo saw the excitement in everyone's eyes. Things had been looking up lately. Back to back to back cooking sessions without any major hickups, sure there was the occasional gang that thought they could push us out of position, but they were swiftly dealt with. After the short ride over to their favorite cooking spot, all the boys knew what to do. The queue was established and everyone got into their positions. It's like they were all a piece to the puzzle and it was falling in place perfectly. Each and every one of them Romeo could trust. They all knew their role, and there was plenty of banter over the radio. Until Pablo called out: "guys, I think I see someone swimming" Everyone went quiet. "Yes, someone swimming round back, We're getting pushed" Everyone locked in. Felarx spoke over radio not long after: "Yup, they're shouting that we need to come out with our hands up get ready for a fight guys!" "I see three people on the hill" SK said. Quickly followed by Anthon saying: "SHOTS!" "Killed one, Killed one!" Eddy replied. "Pushing front, Pushing front" Romeo called out. "Need help round back, I think they shot Frank!" Rocky said.
2. Romeo gave his shotgun to Myles as he took his .50 from under his belt. He ran over to where he knew Matei would be. Rolled round the corner, shot three times: One round to the chest, two to the head. The guy dropped to the floor like a sack of spuds. Frank was holding his hands over his stomach laying in a pool of blood. "It's not looking too good, Romes" He mumbled. "You'll be fine, keep pressure, MOLLY! He shouted over radio, GET OVER HERE OR FRANKS DONE FOR! You have to help him. We're clear here!" The rest of the men had dealt with the others and the shooting had stopped. "Anthon get your car ready and get frank to the hospital!" The orders were a second nature by now. Romeo was sure Frank would be alright. The area was secured. Anthon and Molly took Frank to the hospital and the others got back in positition in case another group would try their luck. Elijah took over the cook and after another hour or so it was all finished. Everyone met up at HQ where Molly, Anthon and Frank were chatting. Frank was smoking a cigarette, when he saw Romeo he shouted: "Best job I ever had!"

“It’s finally finished” - Ryan’s message read.
Ever since he’d gotten the keys he’d been
spending every waking moment to decorating
that place. Everyone flocked to witness the grand reveal. 
Ryan, smiling from ear to ear, said: 
“We’re ready for business!”

Ryan’s attention to detail is unmatched.
All areas of the theater had the same level
of care put into them.

That much was clear when he surprised
everyone with a full-blown music studio
and lounge in the staff area.

1. Ryan had gathered everyone inside the Wax Haven Theatre. “Right, now that the place is fully decorated, let's brainstorm on an event, to get people inside and make some money!” “Alright, lets go!” Scarlett added. Everyone started spitting out ideas building off one another. When they were interrupted by a very loud and shitty hiphop beat coming from outside. They all ran out to see what was going on there, the Boulevard was bustling with people. A grey car with people hanging out the windows, all dressed in gray shouting the wildest profanities at a guy on a CitiBee was swerving across the street. Suddenly Scarlett exclaimed: “I GOT IT!” “We should do a Weakest Link gameshow!” The group erupted in a collective “YES” It was decided, The Weakest Link would be their next show event!

Right, Danny I have found a place!I found a shop that sells that high quality grade paper you were looking for.
there’s a little... fact that complicates the matter... It’s out of business... but i can see it, I can see it laying right there on the shelf..Alright, I’ll stop right by and we’ll devise a plan.

“Yup... that’s the paper I was looking for...” Danny said, with slight dissapointment in his voice.“What’s so special about this paper anyway? Looks like regular paper to me...”  Romeo asked.“This paper, It’s just nice paper for business cards, and in this city no shop seems to have nice paper in stock, apart from this closed down one anyway...” Danny replied.

“STEP ASIDE” Will suddenly screamed.
Romeo and Danny Both jumped out the way of an airborne Verus flyling in their direction.
The sound of broken glass hitting the pavement and a Verus revving inside the store.
“Job done boss!” Will smirked as he jumped through the windowframe and snatched the
stack of the paper Danny was looking for.

“Right, off to the printers, I know a nice place up north that can make stuff look real good.” Danny said.

“I got the designs ready, just need to plug in this USB and: Voila!”The printers started churning out small
purple rectangular cards, thousands of them.

Danny took a sheet, brought it to the cutting machine and cuts them to size, hands one over to Romeo, reading:

It was a normal day in Los Santos for Romeo, he sat in his Casino penthouse, counting the money that he had made today, he sat and listened over radio, as the core members of Empire grafted. Things was going great- Romeo had not a worry in the world .. until his phone started to ring. 

It was a number that Romeo did not recognize. Romeo answered the phone, remaining silent, waiting for the Unknown caller to make his first move... 

''Hello Mr Knight, this is Messiah Young from PD, Lets make this simply and come down to mission row for a talk''. Romeo instantly ended the call, he had a choice to make - Would he turn himself in? or live the life he has built, but have to stay in the shadows his whole life?

Empire members was very confused, as no one knew what or why Romeo was wanted. 0After a small debate with Scarlett and Sonny, they knew the best option was to go down to Misson Row and talk.

Messiah question Romeo for a while, asking him , 'Who is Regiment' and 'Who is 14k'. These are two gangs that Romeo is not fond of, but knows he will never fold. ''No comment' Romeo replied.

''Why are your fingerprints on a pump shotgun , found on a Regiment members person? Do you sell guns ROMEO?''

''No comment'' Romeo insisted.

Messiah grew more anger every time Romeo would not snitch, and ultimately told Romeo that he will be under heavy investigation and will be charged with possession of the said Shotgun. 'This is your LAST CHANCE TO COME CLEAN'' Shouted Messiah.

Romeo looked up from the desk, ' No, Fu*****, Comment'

Romeo was then escorted to DOC, where he spent 2 years. This should show Messiah and the whole PD force that questioning Romeo is a waste of time, as no matter the relationship, no matter the history, Empire stand on what they believe in, and will never fold.

There was another event ending at Wax Theatre when Scarlett walked up to Ruther
saying "Yo Ruther could you handle bit of the studio stuff?"
"For sure, I know you doing too much already ill figure out something" Ruther replied

Ruther sat in the studio figuring out how will he make it profitable business.
He thought maybe The Lost MC would like some variation in their music and he drove straight to stab.
At stab he was greeted by JD "what's up" "Yo JD, I came here to ask you if you would like to buy a rap song made about Lost MC?"
"That's not a bad idea Ruther" he replied. They struck a deal about it and shook hands.

Ruther knew he cant fuck up this one so he called Rob Reaper. They meet up at the studio and go over the details of the song.
"this is going to be sick" Ruther said motivating Rob. Rob agrees while being calm as a rock. They parted ways knowing both of them will handle their part of the job.

Finally the recording day is up. Empire and Lost MC gathered to meet at the studio. First things first, Rob recorded the song Lost MC and Empire members were so thrilled
they were dancing around everyone knowing rob will drop mad tunes. After the serious work was done it was time for fun!
Ruther had invited King Quan to the studio and the night led to Rob Reaper and King Quan battle rapping each other.
After all the rapping Leo from Lost MC whispered "can you put me in the booth?" Ruther says of course and Leo gets in the booth and does his song.
When he gets out of the booth its clear that everyone his clapping, this was not expected. JD and Ruther looked at each others and shook hands once again.
"this song is more than enough for the money we paying for this" JD said.

It was getting quite late, but work for the day wasn’t done yet.
Danny and Ruther were just finishing up a meeting in the studio. While Matei  and Pablo
were on a beach somewhere, securing a cache of weapons dropped off by cartel.
Ryan was busy updating all the admin while a handful of men were sorting ammo, guns
and body armours into crates.

Scarlett called Danny into Romeo’s office. “Another order just came through. It’s a big one”
she turned the laptop towards him, his eyes started flickering.  “Yeah, I know right?”
Scarlett said “There’s one thing though… we’re starting to reach the weight capacity of what
the cartel can provide us…”

“Indeed,” Danny replied, "we need to figure something out, I have noticed our delivery times
have been getting slightly longer each day.” Romeo turned his phone on and said:
“I think I know of a group we can come to a mutually beneficial agreement with”
He quickly sent a text and turned his phone back off.
“There, now we wait for a bit..  Let’s focus on getting these orders out and do
what we do best”

After a few hours of crates being loaded and unloaded Romeo briefly turned his phone
back on. “I have a reply, we will meet them at 3:00 AM. Can you inform the rest of the board?”

02:54 AM - The board was all present.
“Right,” Romeo said. “We’re about to have a meeting. It's pretty simple.
We want their cartel capacity for Toluene,Lysergic and Muriatic acid.
In return, I’m going to offer them a very reasonable price on our firearms.”
Everyone nodded in agreement.

Danny looked up from his laptop and said: “I ran the numbers on how much capacity
this deal would free up on our end. Also I would like to hear your opinion on the percentage
we will offer in return. This could be a great first step in a fruitful alliance.”

“Alright then, let’s make some friends then” Scarlett said as their guests were
being escorted into the meeting room.

"A Pit Stop with Purpose"

What started as a casual chat outside one of our spots quickly shifted gears when a member from Off-Grid pulled up. He claimed he just wanted to get a feel for who we are, but with Ryan, Danny, Matei, and Sonny and a few other Empire members already there, things naturally turned into a more official sit-down.

They didn’t waste time. A few more of their people showed up, this time with packed cash in hand meant to supply our street dealers and show they were coming correct. They were clear about their intentions: Off-Grid is a racing crew looking to build presence in the city, and they knew exactly who they needed to speak to if they wanted to be taken seriously.

They spoke on their goals, building up the underground street racing scene, hosting events, creating noise, and no doubt drawing attention from cops in the process. The energy was familiar. A few of us remember when another gang used to run the racing scene right, and hearing Off-Grid talk about reviving that sparked a bit of nostalgia.

Sonny lit up at the mention of regular races, but he wasn’t the only one. Truth is, most of us miss the kind of action that brings the streets alive. There’s potential there but potential doesn’t mean trust. They know they’ve got work to do if they want to earn a place at the table.

For now, we’ve let them talk. Time will show if their engines are louder than their presence.

[Romeo Knight]

Quote

Tensions was high between Empire and OTF, after several weeks of failed meetings and blood shed, they sat down for a 3rd time to talk as command. This was the first of the meetings where both Romeo and Jimmy could both attend, after previous meeting ended on bad terms, Romeo and Scarlett was unsure what to expect. 

OTF made it clear their true intensions, with both parties agreeing to a new page in the book, a new formed alliance. The business and the streets. A partnership that has potential to benefit both parties greatly.
