La Nostra Famiglia

[Kjaer]

 A Fruitful New Chapter

"Un Nuovo Capitolo Fruttuoso"

New opportunities, old relationships ; Nuove opportunità, vecchie relazioni

When Swarles "Barker" Barkley first came to the city he quickly discovered the drug trade in San Andreas, and being the entrepreneurial criminal he is, saw a space and demand that needed to be met for marijuana plant distribution. The way he saw things was that if you have a large operation, collecting plants was far too time consuming and attracts risk as you become directly linked with the precursor product, however people should pay good money to have the precursor delivered to them. No trace, no contact, it lowers their risk and increases his profit, win win. And he was right. He quickly creates new relations with multiple labs and operations, one such lab operator being [REDACTED] & associates, quickly grossing over $100,000 dollars a month in precursor sales across his contracts.

Fast forward years later even without his original business model or customers in place or in contact, Barker was still very well involved in the world of drug manufacturing and distribution, he rose through the shadowy ladder of the business, from precursor supplier to mule, to small time cook to running a laboratory of his own of 20+ tables. But that's not all that had changed, Barker had also become a made man of the La Nostra Famiglia and was eager to prove himself to the family.

That day seemed like any other regular San Andreas winter day to Barker; cold, harsh and unrelenting. However, unbeknownst it was also a day of opportunity.

*vrm vrm* ...... *vrm vrm* ..... *vrm vrm*

The number, unknown but familiar and then revealed to later be [REDACTED], a name that hadn't crossed Swarles "Barker" Barkley's mind in quite some time had contacted him. [REDACTED] had left the city for years however was back in town and ready to get right back to making money. It couldn't have been better timing as this is exactly what Barker needed to prove himself as a made man to the family, and it's exactly the connection that [REDACTED] was looking for. [REDACTED] explains that he is back in the city and has set up a new..... brokerage of sorts; but for the more illicitly inclined. Barker set up a meet with [REDACTED] immediately for the two to speak terms, quantities, frequencies and prices, wanting to be as transparent as possible Barker suggests the two mutually visit the black market pharmacists to get a quick read on price, purity, and demand across the city.

"Okay, here's the base of what I propose; we're going to buy an agreed amount product from you each week at a fixed price. Cash up front in a secure location. Trusted buy, virtually zero risk. I have to run it through my Madrina, but this should be a done deal"
"Sounds good, but.."
"but?"
"We're also in need of new equipment and hardware as our operations are just now being reinitialized, any ideas?"
"Not a problem, I think I have a solution that will work for all of us, I happen to have some equipment I can spare. We will substitute the tables for cash at the current going rate, no need to wait on the cartel to fly in, so no downtime for productivity."
"We have a deal, when do we meet?"
"Tomorrow, 22:00"

Less money his Capo needs to pay, means more profit for the family means a job well done. Barker is a part of something bigger than himself now, he knows that and he needs to show his family that they were not wrong in accepting him into the books, nothing can mess this deal up now.

Meeting Day ; Giorno Della Riunione

*ring ring* .... *ring ring* .... *ring ring* *ri- click*
"Pronto!"
"Barker, we good for 22:00 still?"
"Sì your hardware is right here, cash is with my Capo. Product is packed?"
"Packed and ready, location?"
"Behind eclipse towers, 10 minutes"

[REDACTED] arrives promptly, checks his hardware and once everything is to his liking nods to the bag on the ground beside him, inside 30kg of crack sits packed neatly in 5kg blocks. Barker gives a nod to his Madrina and Capo who in turn place a bag on the ground which contains numerous stacks of $100 bills. Barker quickly formally introduces the group to one another and once hands are shaken and relationships formed, the trio quickly disperses not wanting to gather any undue attention. Back in the safety of his car, deal done and product secured, Barker finally lets out a sigh and as he does so he feels a vibration from his pocket. He takes out his phone from and reads a text from his Capo.

"Job well done"

Barkley smiles as he texts back a message before slipping the phone into his jacket and driving off.

Vendetta Ricercata ; Revenge Sought After

 

It was a pretty casual day for Barker, a few stores hit, a few cars chopped. He had spent most the day riding around with some prospective like minded individuals to conduct business with, mentoring, assessing. Unfortunately that day the city was quiet, not many solid chances to take on the street and eventually the sunny opportunistic landscape of Los Santos ran dry; everyone having prior engagements and other business said their dues and dispersed. Hence, leaving Swarles "Barker" Barkley to his own devices.

The thing about Barker is that he may be able to move kilos of drugs, and he may be able to shoot, but he prefers that the public sees him as a simple car thief. A car thief isn't hiding an Obey 2021 8F Drafter in his apartment, you're chasing the car thief in the streets, not going after his books or properties and besides, lets face it, he loves the thrill. Being as quiet as it was, Barker decides to move to pier and picks his target, an Imponte Ruiner;

No dazzling target by any means but it fits his criteria of being an unattended car with a good amount of inconspicuousness to it. Barker may be a car thief but he's no stupid criminal, he plans, he waits, sets his timing and he strikes when busy looky lous are gawking elsewhere. But no plan is perfect, you see this Ruiner previously had been picked by an individual with no reaction to anyone in the meager crowd on the pier, so Barker sets out to do his work but unbeknownst to him, that individual had simply been taking the piss out of his mate, the Ruiner's owner who lies just across the pier.
*THWACK*
The owner of the Ruiner had come up and suckered Barker right in the face, Barker withdrew from his efforts after some quick words of street etiquette (however two faced they may have been in the situation) and leaves the scene, except the now three individuals thought this wasn't enough. They found Barker down at the High End vehicle marker only moments later and assaulted him with shattered bottles, leaving him in the dirt to die.

Barker is thankfully recovered by an off duty DCC employee who radios in for urgent aid, a med-e vac in the form of a DCC SUV pulls swiftly into High End and the would-be car thief is taken to Central MD for evaluation and treatment and after some stitches to his arm and abdomen Barker makes a quick recovery and taxis home to his apartment where he cleans up, and showers but that doesn't means he's taken his near death experience well.

"Those fucking Coglione's are going to get what's fucking coming to them, leaving me in the fucking dirt? Ti sei rincoglionito?! I will come back and bust their balls those pezzo di merda!"

Barker breaks out some wine he has stashed away and quickly finishes it, not bothering to savour it but more inclined to use the alcohol to dim the effect of pain on his body, however it didn't quite cut it. Being how angry he was, and still with this throbbing pain in his arm and gut Barker breaks out some cocaine and quickly snorts a few keybumps. Numbed out and aggro-ed up, Barker sets out on a mission for revenge with wine bottles in hand and a pack of cocaine in his coat.

He locates 2 of his 3 targets on the pier, resuming their day as if they hadn't just attempted to kill a made man and a Caporale of La Nostra Familigia. He located them midday, and simply watched, waited, drank and slowly let his anger build and fester for these two clueless figlio di puttana.

He watches them all day, fishing, shooting the shit, while Barker lurks in his burrito stockpile of liquor and coke on hand. Suddenly one of the pair is run over by a disgruntled Post Op worker and is sent to Mount Zonah for treatment, Barker sees his opportunity and quickly tries to set convincing scene along Hollywood, where one of the two was seen speeding towards the hospital to recover his friend. As Barker pulls his burrito to horizontally block the alley and bring the duo to a halt, the pair scoot by, still blissfully unaware of the fate they just narrowly avoided. Now even more frustrated, angry and fiending for another coke hit Barker loops through pier once again making sure his prey is still settled before railing two lines off of his hand and deciding he has to escalate the situation and lure them away from pier.

Barker whips around, pulls up to his original target, this pezzo di merda Ruiner making sure the view is blocked to the direct owner and begins to simply stand there knowing the owner will come investigate. Before he can see if Barker is, or isnt doing anything, the Caporale jumps into his burrito and drives away as the owner approaches. He repeats this process a few more times until his target is adequately frustrated. Finally Barker spits on his vehicle, peels out and gives some antagonizing honking, and what do you know, the fools are falling right into his hands and follow him.

Barker pulls into a side alley, positioning his Burrito in a blocking position and quickly withdraws his handgun, the target follows in closely and Barker lets off a single shot: *BAM* Glass shatters as the Ruiner comes to a crawl and its' driver slumps forward.  Barker approaches his driver seat and finishes him off in the vehicle when suddenly he's forced to roll backward as his secondary target slams into the Ruiner, attempting to kill Barker.

Barker quickly dispatches the second target after his failed attempt to crush Barker into the now seemingly ironically named Ruiner, however not quickly enough as he managed to phone the police before he can be finished off. Barker runs to his Burrito jumps in and backs out of the opposite exit and flees to his apartment where he can shower, clean up, lie low and plan his next steps.....he can't afford to be caught right now when there is still a third target out there, waiting to learn a new meaning of terror.

Hard work pays off. ; Il duro lavoro paga.

With Christopher finding out the recent news of FSO disbanding and Ling telling Christopher their presence in Little Seoul was soon to be non-existent Christopher promised Ling he would not let the people of Little Seoul be defenseless After La Nostra Famiglia's long, close relationship with FSO Christopher made it his goal to not only establish a dominating presence in the area but to also protect and defend the people like they were his own. "FSO or Not. Family is Family."

Christopher had spoken with a few representatives in the area and found out that the Irish had been taking care of the locals in FSO's absence. So he had made a few texts and calls and scheduled a meeting. This had been Christopher's first time doing something like this on his own but he felt he was more then ready to make the moves needed to help progress and expand the family. After a brief conversation on the phone with Lola. They set up a meeting at one of Christopher's properties in the city. Stephen and Lola arrived and Christopher greeted them with a hopeful smile across his face. The subject of the meeting was to ask if La Nostra Famiglia could potentially lessen the weight on Irish's shoulders by taking control of some of the turfs in Little Seoul Christopher explained his reasoning being that Irish had control of a good chunk of the city already and it would make sense for LNF to hold something so close to La Puerta, somewhere the family planned on operating out of from the beginning. Christopher Also asked to potentially hold down forum drive but Stephen explained brief the sentimental value of forum drive for the Irish meaning they weren't willing to let it go, However Stephen did offer something else instead of Forum Dr. A man who will be willing to take all of Christopher's product off his hands and was close by to La Puerta. Christopher couldn't refuse the offer and with a few nods and thankful words the Families new Objective had been set. Take control of the given opportunities in Little Seoul and move on from there.

So it had been set, Christopher gave the word to his guys and they got to work. The next few days consisted of some of the hardest grinding Christopher had ever done in the city but it was for sure going to be worth it. Christopher knew if was going to take a drug turf he was going to need help. With this said Chris called the best chef he knew. Leo Falcone, Christopher made the call and explained the situation telling Leo that if they worked hard they can take the turf fast and make heaps of cash doing so. With all that said Leo was in, they started by obtaining the equipment necessary to manufacture the amount of narcotics needed to take a turf swiftly and they got to work the same evening. After a mere 6 hours of hard work the two gents had produced nearly 700 LSD as they chuckled looking at the amount they made there was still much more to come. 

After they had sorted out the satisfaction of their new dealer Christopher was eager to start working on the new connection they had in the Korean Plaza. a Business man who was willing to exchange dirty money for clean money. Christopher had contacted other family members he knew would be down to help move the amount of dirty money necessary to make their presence known in at Korean Plaza. So some calls were made to Barker and Luca. He came to them with the plan to rob stores and obtain a serious load of cash in quick time. he laid out the plan and everything was set. They had successfully hit around 3 stores in the span of an hour or so. But the influx of police activity near the stores it was something they did not want to risk taking. So they took their packed money and secured their profits collecting around $45,000 in the brief time they spent hitting stores Christopher had been extremely exhausted after such a long stretch of days running drugs and laundering money he decided it was time for a break. After everything great progress had been made so Christopher went home relaxed and poured himself a glass of wine and relaxed waiting for tomorrow to come and his next task to approach him.

LEWIS ESPOSITO

Lewis Esposito was born in Naples on 29 June 2000 in a poor family and in a very infamous neighborhood of "Secondigliano". Since he was a kid it was a hobby for him to get in trouble or attempt to do his first crimes like stealing a pack of chips from the grocery and run away from the employees of that shop. 

At the age of 15, he introduced to himself a new world, The world of drugs and their production. For a year or so Lewis continuously cooked drugs and made enough money to make his dream come true. His dream was to move to the big and shiny city of Los Santos in which he thought could change his life and become a rich person.

After a couple of months of planning and getting some extra money for the journey and on November 1st he was in the airport waiting for his gate to open up and finally take a sit in the plane that would've brought him to his dream place. 

10 MINUTES BEFORE DEPARTURE:

Phone Call: BZZ BZZ 

Lewis: Ciao! Who is this?

Caller: Lewis, Uagliu! this is Vito from Secondigliano

Lewis: Oh! How are you doing Amico? I'm about to 

depart man, I will call you when I'm there ok? 

Say hi to my mum!

Caller: Buon Viaggio (have a nice flight!)  Lewis!

CALL ENDED.

At that point, there was no coming back. 

After a long 14 hours of flight, he finally landed in Los Santos and was in pure shock because he finally achieved something he wanted for a long time now and something he worked for and dedicated himself to even if his job wasn't legal. 

After he arrived at his motel in La Puerta he started a never-ending search for a job. 

2 months later he was starting to give up on his job search since he couldn't find anything good and the money wasn't infinite,

And the only thing he was already experienced in was cooking drugs... he then went to Paleto and tried his luck in cooking at a very dangerous place in which people end up murdered by other criminals, But what if Lewis wanted to be a criminal? 

Well once after a short session of cooking he went to Paleto High-End vehicles to check for his dream cars that he thought one day he will be able to buy. 

Suddenly a purple-colored NOVAK pulled up to the place and a good-looking man with a clean white and black suit got out of the car.

THE ENCOUNTER WITH LEO:

*Door closing sound*

Lewis: Nice car man!

Leo: Hey man thanks.

Lewis: Wow you sound so Italian!

Leo: I know, I am Italian

Lewis: My name is Lewis nice to meet you.

Leo: Leo Falcone.

After a small introduction, Leo gave a ride to the city to Lewis. In the car, he talked about a Family that Lewis was really interested in after Leo talked good about it and he didn't hesitate to tell Leo that he wanted to join the family and meet some new people since he was really lonely. Leo looked at him and whispered something on the radio. He pointed at my cloth and grinned.

Leo: Hey man, if you want to present yourself in a good way

you'll have to change your clothes. *laughs*

Lewis: Sure man but I don't think I have enough money to buy me some...

Leo then went to a clothing store and bought Lewis a clean Smoking suit that he never even wore before.

Lewis was shocked how a small interaction got him to meet a lot of new people and maybe even joining a family.

After that Lewis and Leo made their way to a place he called "La Spada".

But that is another story...

[Carl Daquarius]

Carl Daquarius

From Red Hook, Brooklyn, Carl was a smart and calculated kid. He liked math's, science, but school was never his strong suit. He was always trading and selling. It could have been his lunch or some stupid playing cards, although he always got what he wanted. If someone was to mess with him and try to scam him, he would bring them to the school bathroom where he would stick their head in a toilet bowl. All to teach them a lesson of messing with him and his business. At the age of 13 his Father Mr.Daquarius, a member of the Gambino family in New York City, let young Carl shoot his first Gun. The Fabbrica d’Armi Pietro Beretta .22 long Rifle, which when he shot it knocked his ass back a couple of feet. That's when he wasn't so concerned with school anymore. At the age of 17, He joins his Father in the Gambino Family, but weeks later Police, the CIA, and the FBI catch the Gambino Family with wiretaps and a member with a wire. The FBI, CIA had tons of evidence of the Family's doings, and Carl's father was to go down. His father was looking at the death penalty. Someone confessed to some of his murdering's. The previous murders in which he was proved innocent were voided because of a rat in the family who confessed to the feds for his own benefit. His Father was set to die in 2 weeks. There was nothing Carl could do, he thought about doing something several times, but he knew better than to go in hot and heavy. He knew if he tried something he’d be next. So that's when he found the rat, putting a .22 bullet into his left temple with his father’s .22 long rifle Beretta. Being smart the next step for him was to move away. So the day after his father's death he booked a flight heading from New York-bound to Los Santos. 

 

When he arrived in Los Santos, he was welcomed by his long-unseen cousin Vinny. Vinny was telling him about another Italian Family right here in the City of Los Santos, although at first Carl wasn't interested. He only had a couple of dollars to his name at the time, and asked Vinny “What work do you have for me?” Vinny responds “alright Carl we're gonna hit a store”, “Sounds good to me”. The robbery goes terribly wrong with 4 police cruisers pulling up to the front doors. This was the first time Carl had ever gone to prison. Although his time there wasn't for nothing. He made connections and new friends. When he got out he headed for the bank where he would meet someone. He meets with a person Named Joseph “Big Joe” Maxwell, who tells him a little something about an Italian mafia that he’s a part of. With Carl's recent time in jail and bank account empty, he attempted to ask Joe if he could somehow be a part of the Family. And Big Joe's answer to that was “let’s just say you already have, I’ll be in contact”. 

 

Days after his contact with Big Joe, he gets a call from Big Joe, saying “Hey, It’s time, where are you? I’ll come and pick you up” where I respond, “Alright, Los Santos Bank”. After that we headed to a lovely restaurant called La Spada where I met with Christopher Luciano a Caporegime. He asked me questions about myself and my reasoning to why I’d Like to join the LNF family. 

Shortly after, Carl started his first ever job with LNF hitting up chop shops with Chris, Big Joe, Sophia, and Barker. LNF pulled up to the chop shop near the garbage job, which was called garage chop, where Carl got into his first ever gun fight. Carl was riding with Barker another Caporegime when someone chopping at the garage chop started shooting at Carl, and him. Barker pulled up hot and heavy in his speedo when he got out to shoot the masked men. Carl was sitting in the passenger seat where he got shot multiple times cause he had no cover. Being shot Carl wasn't moving very well and then he saw someone on a flank, and focused what he could to shoot the guy. Carl would get hit once more putting him out of action, although his call outs helped Barker relay to Chris that there was a guy wrapping around from the back. From what Carl had heard Chris used three bullets and the guy on flank was dead. Carl then was brought to the Hospital by Sophia where he got a surgery to remove the bullets. After his surgery Sophia was there waiting for him. He would get out and go straight to another chop shop called butchers where the family was finishing the chop on some cars from the guy they just killed. Carl was overjoyed in the fact that he could help out and save Barker from a guy who was sneakily running up on him from the side. From there on out Carl ran the chops protecting them with everything he had.

LA NOSTRA FAMIGLIA

Story of Byrese Randle

 

It was a gloomy day in the city of Los Santos, three months has now passed since Byrese stepped down from his leading position. As time has passed he began to miss the feeling of having a family around him and people he could actually trust without worrying about getting stabbed in the back. Being so close with one of the Italian higher ups Christopher Luciano, he always remembered Chris saying to him how close of a family he is running, as well as how professional they always kept things. Those two things caught the interest of Byrese, eventually he had reached out to Christopher looking for a new beginning and a new journey in the city of Los Santos. Byrese met Christopher with another member at their HQ La Spada for a sit down meeting to discuss the potential future with the family. After a few questions and understanding of things, Byrese was initiated into a Prospettiva where he would have to prove himself capable of the lifestyle the mafia live.   

 Becoming a member of the family was not an easy task though, Byrese would spend multiple weeks doing tasks for the family and proving his worth as a Prospettiva. Between stealing cars, cooking drugs, stealing medical supplies, and helping with orders from the Cartel, Byrese experienced a new thrill in the city for himself and began to love the everyday life of being a member of the Italian mafia. Putting in an immense amount of work for the family, Byrese Randle successfully earned his stripes and was promoted to a Soldato and became official in the field. Byrese now is motivated to show his family his dedication and love for the family. Being a part of this family has met a a lot to Byrese and has put him in good position to be a successful man in  the city of Los Santos.

Never Betray Family ; Non Tradire Mai La Famiglia

As the Famiglia began to grow more and more Christopher knew with the amount of new recruits there was the possibility of a rat trying to sneak their way into the organization. Little did he know or think the rat would be someone who he thought was going to potentially be one of the most trusted members of the organization. Christopher had received a call from Barker informing him of the intel received from a command member in a different organization Gerry Korpov was the name mentioned on the phone call. The news at first was shocking and Christopher couldn’t believe it and honestly didn’t want to believe it. After settling down from the shock and thinking over how he was going to dispose of this pest his plan was set and he got to work. Christopher got to work first contacting the man closest to the rat seeing if he was aware of the betrayal to come. Dylan Greenwood. Dylan was unaware of Gerry’s efforts to snake the family but was determined to find the motive and make him pay for the planning of wrongdoing to the family. Dylan started by acting as if he was done with the organization and was ready to leave and join Gerry in the sneak attack on the family. This gave Gerry the sense of trust to let Dylan in on all the plans and moves he was going to make on the family. Dylan's first plan was to get as close as he could and hit Gerry where it hurts the most, his stash house. So Dylan began working “Bro once they get onto us they're gonna hit my house you think I could stay in yours?” After a few asks Dylan got into the stash house and Gerry’s neediness to flex his assets showed Dylan just what he was looking for. Upwards of 10 plus heavy weapons and a few pistols stashed in the safes. “I know where his safes are, what should I do?” Dylan asked Chris. “We could beat the codes out of him or we could sneak in late at night and guess codes till that baby clicks and we sneak out with all the gear whilst they’re sleeping.” Dylan and Christopher decided to go with the quiet route because they knew they could get more out of the situation if they played their cards right.

 This would prove to be true very soon when Dylan notified Chris that Gerry was onto them and it was time to officially dispose of him. So they made a plan. Dylan was going to “set up a house raid on Christopher” and bring Gerry and his goons in the house and walk Chris right into their palms. This all sounded good on paper to Gerry but little did he know about the pleasant surprise waiting inside the apartment for them. So the plan had been set. Dylan was to bring in the guys and have them wait and go pick up Christopher. Once Gerry and company were locked into the house Dylan gave the word to Christopher “Gas em’.” and So Christopher did it. Hiding in the bathroom with a gas mask, weed table, some ingredients, and some water. Christopher started making the finest Cocaine in Los Santos creating a god awful gas to breath. The panic in Gerry's voice was something to hear as he and his goons realized their soon to be fate as dead men with no clean air to breath. After a matter of 3 minutes breathing the gas the disappointed voices had gone completely silent so Christopher went to check what they had brought him. The sight he saw would be traumatizing to some but beautiful to him, a sheepish smile came across his face seeing the work of what a well coordinated and well executed plan can come to. After securing the merchandise from the bodies Christopher disposed of them at an undisclosed location. He then went back to his apartment, grabbed a drink and called Dylan to congratulate him and thank him for the hard work and impressive work he’d done for the family.

After sitting down and reflecting on the day Christopher thought about everything he's been through and the hardships he's faced in his life. After each thought he finds himself thinking what would he do had he not been in the position he is in today All that he has gained and all the moments he has cherished have been provided by the love and bonds shared between Family. This is what fueled the fire for Christopher. He would do anything for his Family and he truly mean it. Christopher ended his day on the pier with Dylan. Christopher set his hand on Dylan's shoulder. Dylan turned towards him with a serious look. Christopher softly smiled and said quietly "Never Betray Family." Dylan's nod and soft smile clearly communicated his understanding as they both turned back towards the water and resumed fishing.
