mills Posted August 20, 2021 Report Share Posted August 20, 2021 (edited) "There will come a time when you believe everything is finished...That is when a new chapter begins." Love.. It’s what makes the world go round, doesn’t it? At least, Id like to think it does. You meet someone, you fall in love, and they become your world. And sometimes, their world lures you from the light and into the darkness. I was just a medic. I would go on shift everyday and say the same phrase at the beginning of every shift: “EMT Garden is beginning service under E-95 and will be 10-8 from Pillbox MD” I saved lives for a living – until I met the man who took them for a living – Yousef. We had a very organic meeting at the bank. He was actually trying to flirt up some girl that was behind my pink comet for fun, and I thought he was HELLA cute but I had no idea who he was. How could a girl like me get this man to introduce himself to me without it being obvious I don’t know him? I said “Yo” and he was like “Hey!”. I told him “I think I know you actually, do you mind taking off your mask for me? You seem really familiar” (I had no idea who this man was, I just thought he was hot and wanted to check out his face some more ) He takes off his mask, and I was just like yup, love at first sight. He's beautiful. To play it off though, I jump out of my car and walk towards the black Komoda that was 2x occupied, not counting Yousef. I asked the others to also take off their masks because I “thought I knew them” (I didn’t.) Long story short, I decided to go talk to a friend across the street and left those 3 mysterious guys at the bank in their all-black clothing and all black Komoda. Then, I began driving home to Eclipse towers. …Until I looked up at my mirror and realized they were following me. “What the fuck” I whispered to myself. “Are they following me?” I park my pink comet at eclipse towers and walk with confidence to the black Komoda sitting outside of the apartment building. “Are you guys following me?” I say with sass. “No, we live here.” The 3 passengers proceeded to say, which it was obvious to me they didn’t live here. I thought to myself for a second – they made the effort to drive all the way from the bank to eclipse towers after me when there are speed cameras everywhere on that road, I might as well just see what they want from me. I sucked in my breath and opened the door of the passenger seat and decided to sit inside with them. It turns out, those 3 males happened to be… Yousef. Hector. Shawn…. Members of ‘The Rooks’. Hector began driving away the second I hopped into the car with Shawn and Yousef. I peek over at him through my side-eye and try not to make it obvious that I’m a little nervous, as I've just jumped into the car with complete strangers. It turns out, he has a gun in his hand as he drives. I panic. I start checking to see if there is a child lock on my door, which there wasn’t. I think to myself “Maybe I’m not being kidnapped.” Just in case though, I text my friend Majik from White Rose to let him know what is going on.. in case he doesn’t hear from me again. We finally make it to our destination. A club. We get inside and everyone chills on the sofa and I just stand there awkwardly. “So… who are you guys?” The guys sitting before me just look at each other and whisper amongst themselves. I wasn’t an idiot. I knew gangs existed in the city because I’ve always been a curious medic who asks too many questions. People called me “detective”. Finally, Yousef speaks up and tells me that they’re members of The Rooks. I gasp slightly to myself, as I’ve never actually met a rook before considering they’re extremely hard to find in the city. I play it cool and start giggling nervously and begin to ask if I could hold any cool heavy weaponry they may have. Yousef leaves briefly and comes back with a fully loaded AK-47 and body armor. I don’t even hesitate before I put it on, and that’s when I notice… Shawn had been recording the whole time, which can easily be sent to the chief of EMS – Nicole Crawford. That would’ve gotten me fired for sure. I instantly take it off and begin to quietly beg Shawn not to do anything with that footage of me. I could easily be blackmailed because I was stupid and decided to trust these strangers. He assures me he won’t do anything with it, so long as I don’t snitch on where they live, who they are, or what they do. I nod to them all and decide to leave the club. We head towards Mors so that Yousef can take out his comet retro after it had been chopped. The others (Shawn and Hector) decide to go to sleep, so I stay with Yousef for a bit. I was nervous but feeling confident. I know I’m a pretty girl with a great personality, so it had to be easy. We drove around for a bit, and he ended up asking for my number. I giggled to myself and proceeded to play hard to get slightly, until I finally gave in and handed him my phone number. For the days proceeding, we talked a lot and hung out a lot. Then one day, he asked me: “Have you ever thought of cooking together? It’s a great way to make money and it would help out my family a lot.” I think to myself “Ohhh shit, last time I was in a lab, it went kaboom. But maybe its worth a shot, especially because I already care about this guy.” I finally speak up and say, “Id be more than happy to help…Just please be in charge of the watering.” I giggle and he proceeds to laugh and nod. ….. Time goes by. ..... My R1. After holding down labs with The Rooks and helping them out in various ways just as Yousef’s girlfriend, Harley and Shawn suggested that I join the family. I was hesitant at first, but then I found myself standing by the edge of a cliff. I guess I chose to give it a shot – being a prospect. “Fly or die” they say… and they fucking mean it. Everyone stands before me….waiting for their chance to either vote yes or no on my behalf, based on my performance as a prospect… Charlie, Yousef, Harley, Shawn, Johnnie, Suken, Lele, Andrew, and Dante. I’m up. I walk towards the edge and turn to face The Rooks. I gulp and stand there looking as confident as I can. Charlie: Yes Yousef: Could not vote because I’m his girlfriend. (But, Yes of course) Harley: Yes Shawn: Yes Suken: Yes Lele: Yes Andrew: Yes Dante: Yes Johnnie: Yes I smile WIDE. Although it hadn’t been official yet, they were my family at heart. I grew to love every single one of them, and now I’m finally officially part of the family. Anneliese Garden – a Rook. Who would’ve thought? Guess what? Fly or die huh… I fucking flew.

HeyRavyn Posted August 25, 2021 Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 (edited) "There is no force equal to a woman determined to rise" - W.E.B. Dubois Even with business picking up decorating, Ravyn has made time to work on reinventing Club Corruption. A lot had to be reorganized, an entire new staff as well as paperwork. The hustle is relentless on top of trying to have a social life. Networking has been paying off so the long days have been worth it so far. The first event was a nightmare to get together, tracking down employees, hiring new ones on the spot, but it went as well as you could imagine. There was a loss from her pocket, but to know it was done and people showed up showed promise. Putting more focus on the club left her with a million ideas running through her head and she needed to get them out and done. Her main idea went back to giving power to the women in the city. Everyday she witnesses the shit they go through, the names they are called and sees the will power dwindling slowly but surely. Ravyn wanted to give them their power back, the sexuality, the pure carnal force all of these women have that they don't seem to understand they have. With the amazing women she has befriended as well as has hired, she wanted to showcase the raw beauty from them. With the help of Urban she was able to gather a decent amount of women to help make a video as well hire a few more beautiful women for the club.

ShawnsBeard Posted August 31, 2021 Report Share Posted August 31, 2021 (edited) M&M'S Chocolate covered goodness that melts in your mouth, and a phrase that would remind most of a delightfully sweet snack. However, to Shawn Morningstar, M&M's meant something completely different. "Meetings & Meetings" was all that Shawn could think anytime he spotted the colorful candy at a store or on the television. Ever since he joined The Rooks, the meetings have been seemingly endless. With the continuous cycle of varying gangs occupying the streets of Los Santos, The Rooks have had to constantly build and maintain relations and business operations with other criminal organizations. To top it all off, there was also a steady flow of inner family politics that needed to be occasionally ironed out. At times, Shawn had certainly felt exhausted by the constant need to go over the same business model to dozens of different criminal groups. However, at the end of the day, only two things are certain - death and taxes. Shawn wasn't planning on dying anytime soon, so he figured he'd focus on the taxes portion of life. Thankfully, the endless cycle of meetings helped him solve this 'issue'. You know what is much harder to track and tax than a check or wire transfer? Cold hard cash. Two of The Rooks primary lines of criminal business are done through money laundering and gun sales. One major benefit of having business deals with other criminal organizations is the mutual supply chain between groups. You scratch my back, I scratch yours. Over the years, The Rooks have been able to build these sort of relationships with other groups. They supply us with cash to launder through our businesses throughout Del Perro, and we supply them with weapons for their protection. These mutual understandings are the backbone of the criminal underworld of Los Santos. Edited August 31, 2021 by ShawnsBeard 17 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
