The Bridge Street Brotherhood

[Not The Glizzy]

  

Acquiring a Task

As the day went on JJ and Jay were hanging out around the docks meeting members of the brotherhood getting numbers and just helping out around the place. When Chris and Barker called them inside a building to handle something for them. Before they could get down to business they noticed that there was some water on the floor. As the group looked around the corner to see water leaking out the sink. Quickly thinking JJ and Jay start working on fixing the issue. Finding out that it was clogged. JJ and Jay understood the task and put some gloves on and started moving dishes from the sink to the table so they could reach the bottom of the sink, and digging out all of the trash. With that done they moved on to the task at hand. As Chris starts typing away on the computer he would hand JJ and Jay 4 flash drives with information on them about chop shops and parts that are in need around town. Chris would let them both know that they need parts for their warehouse. After receiving his task JJ and the crew realized they are going to need a truck to do these runs. So, what better for the job than a Kamacho. As the crew hops into their whips quickly driving to get the truck for the task at hand. Stacking up three deep they would pull into CITY SCRAPYARD. Jay quickly got to work looking around for any parts he could find laying around. When he came across a sealed box that looked like it might have some nice parts inside of the box. Jay grabbed his knife off his waistband. Slicing open the straps he would be amazed that he would find two catalytic converters that would be in mint condition. Moving the two catalytic converters into a bag that he would place in the back of the Kamacho. Whilst Jay did that JJ and Smokes were taking note of different vehicles around the scrap and inspecting them to see if they can find any parts that could be taken off with some tools. Not coming completely prepared they had an idea to go to the carpet factory in the back of the SCRAP YARD.

Acquiring Parts & Dropping Off   

After looking around for a bit JJ would find someone who looked like a mechanic where he would ask if he “may have any tools for sale”. The man quickly replied with “I have anything you need if you have the cash for it.” JJ brought some parts that the guy would say cost 500$. JJ would quickly look in his wallet realizing that he has 1000$ in his wallet. Knowing that this man is that well off working at a SCRAP YARD JJ decided to give the man an extra 500$ to help the man. With the new tools he got JJ and Smokes took some time going back around to the cars they inspected taking some of the rims and drum brakes. When JJ would spot six tires that didn't look too bad. JJ and the crew loaded all the parts they have not loaded in yet and left the SCRAP YARD quickly. As they could hear bike engines all round them and the trunk was basically full. Once they met up with Chris out near the bus station in a warehouse. They would meet up with someone who seems to be a friend of Chris named Pablo. He didn’t talk much but seemed pretty good at his job, moving parts from the truck and putting them where they needed to go. As JJ took stock of what they put into the warehouse.

Chris would be happy with what they brought back to him, but he needed more parts. So the crew went to a second location known as Juans or Alley chop. After the scrap yard the crew was hungry so before they went there they went to a small taco business and got some taco to fill them up before getting into anymore work and moving heavy items.

Drop Off Pt. 2

After they were done eating they decided no time better than now to go in and look around as no one was coming in and out as they were watching across the street. The crew pulls in and starts to check all the boxes around for parts. They would have very good luck with one of the boxes having some very high quality parts in it. When JJ went around back and found a Tire. Smokes would Jokingly call JJ “The Tire King” because of the 7 tires he had found. It took all three men's strength to move all the parts to the trunk of the Kamacho. After they loaded up the Kamacho they drove back to the warehouse where Chris would help them move the heavy box. Once everything was moved everyone got into their vehicles and they saw a postal truck. The postal truck had someone who looked like he hadn't got new clothes in years and didn't smell too good. With Chris and the crew seeing they know that he isn't paid well they paid him 1000$ for just 2 boxes just to help the man get off the streets.

The crew, feeling good about helping the man, would go to get a drink with JJ taking one for the team and not drinking. JJ would drop off everyone before making his way home for the night tired and ready to sleep after kicking off his sneakers he had deemed the day a success.

Cooling Off

After returning to Los Santos and weeks of constant surveillance and unrelenting pursuit by the police, things had finally begun to quiet down. PD had started spending more of their time investigating other organizations and no longer saw the purpose in devoting resources to continue investigations on the Brotherhood. Organizations like Rooks and Royals were acting more carelessly then they ever had before, gaining the focus of police during the process. PD executed Multiple raids and busts during a short span of a few weeks. The Brotherhood saw this opportunity and took the time to rebuild, becoming stronger than ever before, all while in the shadows.

The Cue

Christopher sat inside the new building he claimed as his "Temporary HQ" anxiously thinking to himself "When will it be time?" Moments after that thought, a vibration from his pocket caught his attention. He shot up from his chair and busted out the door, tuning into his radio with urgency, he alerted everyone on the frequency come to HQ. "It's time." After everyone arrived, the news was announced "We are going home!" Every member smiled and looked at each other all with the same devilish look. They knew what the future was going to hold. Everyone loaded into cars and headed to Mirror Park, where they were filled in on future plans for the organization as well as familiarizing themselves with the newest operations.

The Hearty Taco

Needless to say, The Brotherhood lacked a business they owned and operated legally. During the downtime of BSB, Jay Valentino acquired the business property where they can do legal business along with giving back to those in need. Whilst opening other revenue streams for illegal activities upstairs covered by both of the legitimate operations downstairs. All operations were in the interests of BSB. As Christopher twisted the key on the door, it popped open and everyone filled into the building. Christopher said with a smirk on his face. "This is our new legal front, Tacos won't be the only thing we cook and sell out of here." Everyone smiled and laughed before exploring the building and familiarizing themselves with its layout.

WELCOME HOME!

The day had come, it was time for the return to Bridge Street. They hoped this would be the last time, they were here to stay. Christopher rolled the grill down to the bottom of the driveway. Other members moved the couch moved down onto the infamous sidewalk. As the seconds ticked away, the time for the block party came closer and closer with more and more guests arriving, greeting the Brotherhood with smiles on their faces. "Good to have you boys back." After some delicious food, drinks, plenty of laughs and memories shared, the group moved the crowd of guests towards the Hearty Taco to introduce the grand opening of the new front. Once the music quieted down, the grill shut down, and guests slowly departed one by one, eventually everyone cleared from the block leaving only the members of the Brotherhood. They gathered around and shared a moment, a feeling of success, but also the acknowledgement of their presence. Everyone shared the same thought.

"We're here and nothing will ever get rid of us"

Brain Storming

Christopher and Harry sat down inside the meeting room inside their HQ discussing future plans and activities for the Brotherhood with their return to Bridge Street. They wanted to do something they couldn't do whilst in the shadows. Something that may bring them unwanted attention, but something that was going to make a difference. They had been brain storming for quite some time on what they wanted to do. They came to a decision they wanted to do a massive cash give away, except their means of getting the cash was going to be very unique. The next meeting where everyone was present Harry climbed on top of the lounge table and made the announcement. "Everyone get your bikes and get ready for some grocery shopping in Del Perro, Rockford Hills & Vinewood Hills."

 

Grocery Shopping

The Brotherhood gathered at Bridge Street. Harry spoke briefly and encouraged his family before starting their operation...

A soft soft but menacing hum could be heard as 20+ bikes flew into the wealthy part of town, approaching the stores. A violent kick to the doors followed as their bells rung and the brotherhood flooded the store with weapons drawn "PUT YOUR FUCKING HANDS UP, UNLOAD THE REGISTER INTO THE BAGS NOW!!!" One by one, The Brotherhood hit every single store in every wealthy district in town, yelling "FOR THE PEOPLE" as they exited each store with thousands of dollars packed into their bags. After every few stores, they met at multiple rendezvous points and threw the thousands into the back of a Kamacho hauling it to their warehouse for storage until they were ready to launder it.
 

Laundering The Cash

Jay Valentino whipped out his cell phone calling Christopher with a smirk on his face he asked. "Is our new guy at The Laundromat ready to receive our dirty clothes?" "Yes, meet me there in 20, Bring every load of laundry we got! This is our first deal and we are going to make a hell of a first impression." Christopher hung up his phone before calling his new connect confirming the laundry was capable of receiving such a massive volume of "Dirty Clothes." Christopher & Jay pulled up and hopped out greeting the new contact after removing their skull masks, then nodding before simply flinging open the back of the Kamacho, duffle bags almost bursting out from the trunk being so full. Christopher asked "So, this volume you can handle?" The contact laughed and said "You know who I work with don't you? Give me a few days and these bills will be as clean as bleach!" Christopher & Jay smirked and nodded before helping the men load the duffels into the back of the laundromat. Christopher slides his mask back onto his face "Ight, Jay lets go. We will see you boys in a few days. Call us if you need anything."

Planning The Storm

After a few days, the connect called Christopher and they returned to the laundry to collect their cleaned cash and pay the connect their cut... 10% of the totaled amount of $160,000. Christopher tossed the men 20,000 and said to keep the rest as a thanks from The Brotherhood. Immediately after leaving the laundry Christopher drove down to Weazel News to make an advert. "Massive Cash Giveaway This Sunday. 10pm It will be Raining Money at City Hall"

 

Complications In The Plan

The Brotherhood had planned on giving out the money from the stores at City Hall making it rain on government property. Making a statement and making a difference in the community. Unfortunately due to recent complications, The Government heard of the plans of the event and completely shut down all ads being ran and threatened arrests on anyone who was giving away money on government property. Christopher took a deep breath filled with anger. Yet again the rich and corrupt trying to impede something as simple a charitable event, giving away cash to those in need purely out of hate and disrespect for the cause. "Naw fuck these guys, They think they can stop us? They can't!" Christopher flew down to Weazel and demanded his ads be edited and re-worded correctly to follow the "Policy" also to change the location of where they were going to throw money. "Bridge Street will be the location. Let them press me for throwing money on my own property."

 

The Perfect Storm

Christopher sighed with relief as he parked his car onto Bridge Street just minutes before the start of the event. Things were starting to look up for the group as the advertisements were running and the street began to fill up immensely quick. Civilians, other organizations took part in grabbing the cash as it fell from the sky. The Brotherhood thought they were about to have a massive success with zero hitches, Then suddenly PD swarmed in mass, S.W.A.T. present all to ruin the charity event anyway they could, enforcing sidewalk laws for the first time ever in their life. Threatening arrests for people walking across the street or dancing on a sidewalk. It was apparent their business was not to protect nor serve, but to be a nuisance and hindrance to the charitable event held by The Brotherhood. After the PD cleared the scene the event continued on and a total of $150,000 fell from the sky onto Bridge Street for those who needed it. As the music quieted down and the money shower slowed eventually coming dry, everyone gathered for a photo with smiles on their faces. They knew a difference was being made.
