Jesse Reed/3.0/Jesse's Story

This page is outdated. Updates are currently being worked on. 
==Season 1: A New Dawn ==
====== Jesse's First Day in Los Santos ======
Jesse Reed is a soft-spoken, smooth-talking southern man who shows the promise of a sharp and loyal shot, all whilst having a heart of gold. His first day in Los Santos led him to Irwin Dundee and Channing Turner of the Bondi Boys MC. Dundee posted a yellow page ad requesting for new criminals to call him, and Reed did, similar to how Dundee first met James Skinner. Dundee and Chain tested Jesse's shooting skills, introduced him to Boe, showed him important spots in the city, and taught him how to run oxy. 
While showing Jesse the ropes of oxy, he and Dundee attempted to rob an oxy runner. This oxy runner turned out to be Steven Stone III, another hangaround for the BBMC. The three later robbed a 24/7 convenience store when Stone acquired a safe cracking tool. Jesse performed the negotiations with the police, and with Dundee's driving, they got away without issue. 
After the day with Dundee, Jesse told him that he isn't going to go another day without him, expressing his loyalty. 
======Jesse Gets His Hat Stolen======
On his second day in the city, Jesse was passenger in the car with Dundee as he ran a red light. In classic Dundee fashion, this resulted in a near city-wide chase, and ended in a shootout with the police on the streets of Vespucci. Collin, Barry, Dundee, Olivia, and Stevie managed to escape after gunning down the cops, however Jesse was apprehended before he was able to shoot by Jack Ripley, his K-9 Zero, and Tessa Lamb. 
When his items were seized before his very first trip to Bolingbroke, Jesse was unable to get his prized hat back, vowing to get revenge on Ripley next time he saw him. 
======Bikes on Vespucci Beach======
Alongside Prospect Olivia and fellow Hangaround Stevie, Jesse tried to learn how to corner meth around Vespucci. Whilst riding a bicycle around the BBMC's turf, Jesse got stuck inside of the skate bowl, and after multiple tries and falls, had to call Olivia to help him out. He says that was the most embarrassing call of his life. When Olivia arrived, she rode the bike out of the bowl on her first try. 
Olivia and Jesse spent the rest of the night hanging out; ditching a rave in the crypt, throwing molotovs at gas stations, chopping cars, and overlooking Vespucci from Dean World. They became fast, close friends. 
====== Alta Street Shootout ======
After Dundee lost AJ Hunter in a chase in less than a minute, he messaged 311 that it was embarrassing for them, especially since Hunter was in his interceptor. Shortly after, AJ responded and said that it was embarrassing to be a Bondi Boy. Dundee, Chain, Jesse, and La Flare armoured up in the club's Duneloader, and were ready to teach Hunter that nobody disrespects the patch. 
The four found AJ Hunter and Pat Downing outside of the Alta Street Apartments, and put up a good fight before things went south; they disabled three police CVPIs before Chain and Jesse fell off the back of the Duneloader. Dundee, La Flare, and Chain went down fast, and Jesse managed to carry Chain's body into the Red Garage. He laid low in the garage alongside Chain until the police cleared out, hesitant to do much else due to being so new to the city. He managed to lockpick a car, and took Chain to Grandma's to get him back onto his feet. Dundee and La Flare were apprehended. 
======Under the Sea======
After a day of pushing Olivia's buttons asking for lockpicks, ten pings to one location, and poking fun in their sibling-esque rivalry, she finally got her revenge. Whilst standing at the end of Dean World Pier with Mari Mckay, Tallie Marks, and Olivia carried Jesse and threw him off the edge of the pier into the water for being a "little shit". He did say he could swim before she did so, but unfortunately that wasn't the case; Jesse hit his head on the sea floor, causing his head to bleed, and swallowed a sizable amount of water. Olivia and Mari dove in and searched for Jesse, who was unconscious. Olivia found him, called EMS, and sat beside him on the boardwalk while he was treated. Jesse was taken to Pillbox for the very first time with a mild concussion. She gave him a lockpick to make it up to him.
OOC: Jesse’s perma-death condition is drowning 3 times due to an accident (ocean-dumpings excluded). This was the first time.
====== Going Down Fighting ======
Whilst trying to boost the BBMC's first B Class car, Collin, Dundee, Barry, and Jesse were spotted on the street by AJ Hunter in his interceptor. With Dundee's instruction to bust, the four of them coordinated their exit from the vehicle and shot the trooper and his passenger before driving away. A chase ensued after polices were alerted to the 13As. Shortly, the four shooters ran out on foot and took a vantage point above the oncoming police. They took out many police officers in the fray, before Trooper Jack Ripley flanked their position and took them out with his shotgun. Jesse was processed by Ripley, and convinced him to let him keep his prized axe from Olivia. Jesse holds a respect for Ripley for his act of kindness, and enjoys their talks together despite the circumstances they are under. However, Jesse still holds his 3-1 record against police with a cocky grin.
====== Jesse Meets the Vagos ======
Jesse had orders to protect Olivia, and he takes orders seriously. While watching over Olivia on an oxy run with Tallie, Vagos prospects Bodhi, Frankie, Reggie and Raymond rolled up on Olivia and Tallie and tried to rob them at gunpoint, despite Olivia's attempts to deescalate, since she was in her kuttes. Jesse, who was out of sight of the robbers, shot all four of them down with an uzi on his own. In the fray, Olivia was shot by the Vagos. The three BBMC members did not rob the downed Vagos, and instead immediately took Olivia to Grandma's. 
======Fishing for Friendship======
Olivia and Mari decided to kidnap Jesse at gunpoint and force him to go fishing. The two women dressed in their fishing clothes (Hawaiian shirts, shorts, and sunglasses) and made Jesse change as well. He sported a monochrome Hawaiian shirt, heart covered boxers, and dark shades. He believed this to be torture, but eventually came around after a few laughs with them (as well as a pinkie-promise to boost cars afterwards). Jesse really dislike the fishing outfit. 
====== Jesse Robs a Bank (Or Three) ======
After Dundee flew through the windshield of the vehicle he and Jesse were travelling in after a boosting job, Jesse took him to the hospital, and they came across Dundee’s friend Hunter "Wingman" Skye in the lobby. As the two were leaving, Wingman chased down their car and immediately told them that he wanted to do something and join them, since he needed money.
Dundee called Jay Que and asked him to join the crew as a hacker, for the chance at robbing a bank. They assembled and upgraded a local Stratum with the plan to ‘send it’, in classic Dundee fashion.
Jesse remained calm and collected, as he always does when he has a job that needs to be done.
They took a hostage from Harmony Repairs, and took the short drive to the Harmony Fleeca Bank across the street. Jesse took care of the hostage and made conversation. The crew decided to use Russian accents, and both Jesse and Wingman showcased that they could speak Russian.  
Senior Deputy Daisy Dukakis handled the negotiations; they exchanged the hostages’ life for free passage and no spike strips, and negotiated no Air One in exchange for no motorcycles, no off-roading and no tunnels. The Los Santos special. A fair chase. (They also requested for all of the police officers to use Russian accents).
The crew were chased by two interceptors along with CVPIs, but they were no match for Dundee’s driving. The four got away without a hitch. Of course, in that ‘send it’ fashion, they didn’t stop at one bank. For extra flare, they even added NOS to their upgraded Stratum.
The crew went on to rob the Fleeca on Great Ocean, requesting for all officers to use Australian accents. They almost left Jesse behind at the bank because Dundee drove away whilst Jesse got stuck in-between the bank doors, but after picking him back up, they outdrove the police yet again.
It didn’t end there. The crew then robbed the Fleeca at the Pink Cage. No police responded.
This experience, on only his third day in the city, was an information overload for Jesse. Jay Que was especially kind, teaching Jesse about the beginnings of hacking, and also offering his advice on how to navigate the city in his early weeks. He tried to take it all in as best as he could. 
====== The Treasure Goblin ======
Jesse was at Hayes, speaking with Pez and Shaneo about selling the materials he had collected through chopping cars. Pez took him aside, and told him that he would be receiving a ping to meet someone. Pez shortly after disappeared. Later into the night, Jesse received a spam of pings, pings similar to those told in the stories of the 16 Treasure Goblins of Los Santos. The ping led him below a bridge, and behold! The Fire Safety Treasure Goblin. She gifted Jesse an advanced lockpick, an 8ct gold necklace, and a 6ct gold chain. The goblin told Jesse multiple legends surrounding the gifts, as well as the legend of The Golden Treasure Goblin, and told him if he were to ever meet him, he would get one million dollars. Jesse left the encounter remembering to look upon the Treasure Goblins favourably. 
====== The Overly Excited For Christmas Goblin ======
Jesse and Jordan also met the Overly Excited for Christmas Goblin, who gave them 5 phones, a hat, and two pistols after they were robbed of their guns, all in the spirit of Christmas. 
====== A Midnight Talk with Mari ======
Freddy was extremely upset that Mari had been spending time with Jesse. The two had a falling out, and Mari ended up getting blind drunk to help her process her feelings. Jesse took care of her whilst she was drunk and sick, listened to her, and offered her advice on the situation from an outside point of view. He thinks that Mari deserves Freddy's trust, after all the trust she has given him.
The two talked through the entire night, sitting on the racecourse next to the Casino. Usually calm and not one to reveal his emotions, Jesse opened up somewhat to Mari that he was stressed seeing her like this. He revealed that he can’t have emotional attachments in his line of work and that he has to avoid being dependant on someone, lest something like this happens to him; he cannot be like her. Jesse reminded Mari that he is her friend, and that’s why he was there helping her. He told her that he cares very much for her, since that’s what Liv would want.
Mari asked Jesse to promise her to not hurt Freddy. He said he would do it for Liv. He continued to comfort her, remind her of her worth, and tell her that the place that she is in is not a healthy one.
“You’d rather deal with this and not find happiness elsewhere.”
He told her that she needs to stick up for herself more. He told her that she is better than just drinking her problems away.
“Everything’s gonna be fine. I really think you should take my advice; the next time you talk to him, put your foot down please. Don’t be bossed around like this. Don’t take getting yelled at. It’s not worth it. You wouldn’t accept it if you did it to him. You’ve gotta treat yourself with a little respect. I’ll always be here for you. I believe in you.”
The sun rose, and Mari felt better.
======A Fashionably Late Date and the Deadeye Club======
Jesse and Liv dressed to the tens and they cleaned up quite nicely. The two sat and talked in the garage of the Billabong. They talked about Freddy and Mari, and chased Pez around the billabong when he hid behind a wall and started to sing ‘Can you feel the love tonight?’. 
They spoke about Jesse’s place in the BBMC, and he opened up about his recent feelings. He felt as though he didn’t protect the BBMC well enough when he heard about the Vagos tagging up the Billabong. He asked if he fit in, and what he should work on to fit in more. He told her that he felt like he couldn’t be carried around by just Liv and Jordan.
Liv told Jesse stories about times she had messed with people, tortured, or killed them, and Jesse told her about his encounters with the goblins. He complimented her a lot. He also told her about his gun repair shop and gun range dream with Jordan.
And then, it happened. The spammed anonymous pings, the calling card of the 16 Treasure Goblins of Los Santos. It led them to a bridge off of Great Ocean Highway. Instead, they met Keith Kyle, the Kiwi intern/assistant to the Fashionably Late Goblin. Kyle gave Jesse a Gameboy and a pair of Rayban sunglasses before they both decided to rob him. He didn’t have anything of interest on him. He then gave them 4 lockpicks “for lockpicking activities”. One of them was broken. 
Liv misplaced a love potion in Kyle’s pockets, and he drank it. He then gave Jesse a VIP lanyard with the date of the 4th of May. He said when that day comes round, something special will happen.
“Be gone now, look upon me favourably. Beware of the Tennis Goblin. He watches all. He likes tennis activities and tennis related conversations. Sometimes he will disguise himself as a non-tennis activity related goblin. If you see him, he will probably kill you.”
Sasha, Olivia’s car, needed to be repaired, so Jesse paid for it for her. Liv then decided to blow up a gas station. She gave Jesse a Unichonk plushie to sit in his pockets as a good luck charm. 
Liv spoke to Jesse about her family before she got into the city, and then Pez arrived to speak to Jesse about his dream gun store. Jesse told Pez that he likes Olivia very much. The three of them went to a local gun range that they knew they could use for Jesse and Jordan's business idea. Pez agreed to join the deal alongside Jesse and Jordan, and planned for Jesse and Jordan to be the Founders, and have Pez as the Owner. They decided to call it the Deadeye Club, and continued to discus other ideas on what the club could do, such as customising guns, having memberships and leader boards, and how it could benefit the BBMC.
Afterwards, the two told each other that they had a nice time, and Jesse said there would be a part two to their date in the future. The date was coming to an end, however, not before Liv cracked him over the back of the head with a crowbar and he was incapacitated. After a hospital visit, the night was ended with a kiss. 
======The Attempted Assassination of Peach Chee======
Jesse was contracted by Pez Speedwagon to assassinate Peach Chee, his enemy in the mayoral election. Jesse, alongside Chain, and Pez disguised as his alias Bonfire, set out to kidnap Peach, torture her, and throw her into the ocean. Instead of being paid for the hit, Jesse asked Pez if he could give the payment to Chain in order to clear his debt.
The two dressed as businessmen, wanting to meet with Peach to discuss her campaign plans and offer to invest in return for her support. They dressed in white suits, wearing Anubis masks to represent ‘Anubis Enterprises’.
While preparing their plan, they happened to run into Peach at the Apartments. Thrown into their plan, they managed to talk to Peach and convince her into a meeting. It was almost too easy. 
After telling her about 'Anubis Enterprises' and their idea to get 'military equipment' into the city in exchange for the company giving her 1 million dollars to support her campaign, she jumped for the idea to meet the company’s leader ‘Bonfire’.
Jesse and Chain, under the names of Coffee and Tea, took Peach to Chumash Pier, and revealed their ruse by holding her at gunpoint. Peach was terrified. The two led her to Pez, who was waiting at the end of the pier on a yacht. 
Jesse was the one to stab Peach, and cut off her tongue. He left a note in her pocket stating “Abdul sends his regards”, and Chain dropped her body into the ocean. Pez told Jesse that he was proud of him for the job well done.
Jesse was soon called by Edbert, who saw an EMS on Chumash Beach giving a woman matching Peach’s description CPR while he was chopping a vehicle. The three were left wondering how Peach was found, how she survived, and what would happen next. 
====== A Brush with Death ======
Jesse, on a hiking and biking tour with the Blaine County Mountain Rescue, was pushed from a mountain by Pez. Jesse and Teddy fell into a river below, and Jesse’s body tumbled down the rapids. Teddy managed to survive the fall, swimming in the river attempting to find him. Shaneo jumped from the cliff in an attempt to save them both, and pulled Jesse’s body from the water.
Jesse was able to talk for some time, before he fell unconscious. A wound to his head was bleeding heavily. Once checked, Jesse’s pulse had stopped. Shaneo, with Liv by his side, rushed to give Jesse CPR. His pulse did not return. Shaneo begged for Jesse to come back, and Liv asked for him to wake up.
Alongside his head injury, Jesse’s leg was broken. EMS arrived via a rescue helicopter, and immediately tended to Jesse. After wrapping his wounds and two rounds of CPR, they managed to return his pulse. He was placed in the EMS rescue helicopter and taken to Pillbox Medical. Liv made it by his side. After being looked at by doctors, Jesse was given crutches for his broken leg.
Jesse felt as though it was too close of a call, and lingering memories of water echoed in his mind.
OOC: Jesse’s perma-death condition is drowning 3 times due to an accident (ocean-dumpings excluded). This was the second time.
====== Ketamine ======
After developing his friendship with the lifer Coffee, and the DOC Michael, Coffee decided to trust Jesse with the underbelly secrets of the prison; the creation of burner phones and ketamine. This is a drug that is unheard of in the city according to Jesse and the BBMC. This offer from Coffee was a goldmine ready to happen, and Jesse immediately wanted to use it to benefit the club. 
After learning more from Coffee, Jesse thought of what ways he would be able to smuggle the drug and other contriband out of prison. A day later, Michael was suspended from his work as a DOC due to a member of the HOA snitching on him for something that he didn't do. Frustrated that Fontaine did not hear out his side of the story, Jesse enticed Michael into a deal. He would pay Michael GNE to create a direct supply line. Jesse would give what Coffee wanted in return, things such as burgers, music, toys, alcohol, and other things he can't get in prison, to Michael, Michael would give it to Coffee and vice versa. They settled on the price of 25 GNE for 5 5g baggies of the drug, once per week. 
This connection was set out to cement Jesse's place in the BBMC, and give the BBMC a position in the city that no one else has. However, later that evening, Michael called Jesse seeing red. He told him he had quit his job as a DOC officer, and now aims to be a criminal. He wants to pursue racing and boosting, and gun down any DOC that he sees, especially Fontaine, since she was the reason for his downfall. Fontaine told him that he was under investigation, and she would never listen to what he had to say; Michael felt as though he was “guilty until proven innocent”. Despite Jesse trying to talk Michael out of the decision, he was stubborn in his choice. This left Jesse wondering on what to do next, and how to keep the connection to the prison afloat. 
As an ultimatum, Jesse asked for Michael to keep his job and go through with the deal, and in return, Jesse offered the BBMC as a family for him to fall back on if things go south, and a job at Hayes. Michael said that he could imagine that working, if not for Irwin Dundee’s reputation of shooting and hating all police officers and DOC. The deal was put on pause until Jesse could speak to his Prime Minister.
Dundee informed Jesse that if he were to get Ketamine into the hands of the BBMC, that he would recieve his jacket. This instilled even more determination in him. He worked for many days establishing a pipeline from the prison to Los Santos. Coffee delivered burner phones via a launcher over the prison walls in the meantime. 
On the 4th of September, 2021, Jesse called Dundee to the lifeguard tower behind the Billabong. He, alongside Stevie and Jordan, were waiting. When Dundee arrived, Jesse opened his trunk to reveal a bag of Ketamine. The first, in his knowledge, to reach outside of the prison walls, and it was thanks to his hard work and connections. Jesse had completed his mission, and hoped to soon be rewarded with a place in the ranks of the Bondi Boys and Babes.
=== On the 5th of September, 2021, Jesse was prospected into the Bondi Boys and Babes Motor Club. ===
== Season 2: High Noon ==
====== Ketamine, cont. ======
Less than a week after Jesse’s prospect ceremony, Michael was reinstated in his role as a DOC officer after Fontaine’s resignation. Securing Michael’s position, and with Fontaine’s position being filled by Richards, Michael’s friend, ensured that Jesse’s connection and supply line was cemented.
Michael is even looking at a promotion on the horizon. Michael complimented Jesse on his life in Los Santos thus far and his achievements.
Michael is working to create more opportunities for the lifers, including paintball events; which is an additional opportunity to smuggle items and contraband in and out of the prison.
Jesse asked Michael if he could speak to Coffee to compile a list of things he wants to push out of the prison, and things he wants to go back in. Jesse agreed with Michael to call the Special K “tim tams” as a code word. Michael also offered to get molotovs out of the prison for Jesse, which Jesse can use in his deal to trade molotovs for pistol suppressors. The prison can also provide shivs.
The two planned to use crates, burner phones, and anonymous pings for dead drops, and settled on the price of 2 GNE per bag of ketamine due to the rise in the market, and 70 bags a week.  
A day later, Coffee called Jesse for a quick update. He told him about his list of things, which included Pixel cards. Coffee is looking to take over the prison commissary truck, so he could potentially get out of the prison more often. Jesse told Coffee that he is only getting Special K as a personal tool, and not for investment or profit.
After Coffee's supply was heavily impacted by multiple raids during prison riots, Jesse, Michael and Coffee agreed that Ketamine could be stored in Michael's DOC locker, and then transferred to the outside via the prison's commissary truck, twice a week. Personal drops by Michael were to be limited unless Jesse had an emergency. 
The operation was now more difficult, as Ketamine was now illegal and monitored by the police. Jesse had a suspicion that the leak was Dundee's fault, however Olivia convinced him otherwise. Jesse stated that he felt like he was becoming dependant on Special K when fighting against police. 
Jesse paided for the Ketamine through mundane goods that Coffee was not able to get in prison, such as burgers, toys, and other knick knacks. One of the first things Jesse gave to Coffee was a limited-edition magazine from the opening of the Tuner Shop. 
Coffee's ketamine strain is "Shiba". 
With the laws against Ketamine closely on the rise, the entire city of Los Santos was buying the substance while they could legally. Jesse reached out to Michael, and tried to convince him to get as much of it as possible, since people were currently offering $10,000 per bag. Michael said he could do what he could, however no lifers were currently awake. 
====== Dodge Demon ======
With the opening of the Tuner Shop, the whole Los Santos population raced to see if their dream car could now become reality. However, an expensive reality. Jesse’s dream is the Dodge Demon.
After talking to Chad Brodie and Chip Wheeler, he was informed that you can only buy cars after a pitching and interviewing process. The salesmen of the Tuner Shop pick the 2 candidates of those interested that best fit the vehicle based on personality and who would own the car for a long term.
Jesse was told that he needed to make a plan and presentation detailing why the Dodge Demon is deserved to be his more than the other candidates. He asked Cindy for her marketing assistance with the interview and presentation. He decided on a few slogans to use, such as “a cowboy is nothing without his stallion”, and “born to tame a demon”. 
With the assistance of Shane Powers and Chip Wheeler, Jesse test drove the Demon and his decision was made, despite the price of the vehicle looming over him; 3760 GNE and $1,155,000. He determined that if he were to get a loan, it would be $134,000 a week for 15 weeks, with an additional ~$100,000 asset fee per fortnight. 
With his eyes on a target and ready to shoot, Jesse was determined and driven to earn as much GNE and money as possible. Through racing, he was able to accumulate the GNE needed, however after loaning the BBMC $100,000, and with a loan to pay on his Dominator, he still has a long way to go in terms of money. 
After multiple interviews, it did not seem like Jesse was going to be chosen as the person to purchase the demon. However, he could still give his presentation. 
AP was approved for his Demon; one half of the dream to be the demon bros. Jesse gave his presentation to Chip Wheeler, Mary Mushkin, Tommy Cruizer and Eddie Marshall; owners and sales reps of the tuner shop. He spoke about his journey in the B Class racing scene, his role as an Enforcer, and his reputation. 
The interviewees asked him about the cars that he owns, his passion for muscle, and how he first got into racing. He then started his presentation (not without accidently kicking Chip out of his chair). Jesse was blunt in his passion about the Demon, keeping it short and sweet. Mary was very pleased with the slideshow that was put together, and even said that she wanted to make her own.
After his presentation, the salesmen and owners of the store liked that a member of the BBMC wanted to buy a race car. However, they are struggling to approve Jesse when Mando Thompson also wants to have a Demon of his own. Eddie wanted to look into Jesse’s reputation in the racing scene. Chip vouched for Jesse’s dedication, passion and effort. In comparison, Jesse put in far more effort than Mando did, and the Tuner employees agreed with that. They spoke with each other about how hard Jesse has worked for it, and then discussed on whether Jesse can pay for it or not. They confirmed he has the resources. They did not come to a hard decision, however expressed they were impressed with Jesse. They wanted to speak to Mando before cementing Jesse’s position.
Chip voted yes for Jesse to get the vehicle, as did Mary. AP and Mayumi vouched for Jesse, also. 
On the 23rd of September, 2021, Jesse was approved for the Demon, and purchased it.
====== War: BBMC vs Marabunta Grande ======
Jesse’s first war. The Marabunta Grande started antagonising the BBMC via tagging up the Billabong and the use of social media after Wingman informed them that the Bondi Boys were selling meth on their turf, Fudge Lane.
BBMC, of course, would never let their home be attacked or disrespected in that way, especially without retaliation. There were multiple attacks between the club and the rival gang, in the Billabong, in Fudge Lane, and in other areas of Los Santos.
One of the first attacks on the Billabong, Jesse was there to defend. He stayed overwatching the Billabong and easily took down three Marabunta Grande attackers single-handedly. However, Jesse informed the higher-ups that that wouldn’t have happened without the help and communication from Olivia, Cindy, and Junior.
While Jesse was sleeping, the Billabong was attacked again. Olivia suffered a bullet wound to the head, and lost a large amount of blood. She was put into the ICU. Upon hearing this news, Jesse saw only vengeance and red. He swore to do horrible things to Azul, the member of the Marabunta Grande that harmed her. The usually controlled man told Olivia that he would not be able to contain himself. He felt that the war was now more than a war; it was personal.
More altercations happened whilst Jesse was asleep, with both victories and loses for the BBMC. He was informed by his superiors of how to organise the war, how to prepare, and to only hunt for the Marabunta while in a group of four. He agreed. However, once his superiors were asleep, Jesse was hungry to attack. This resulted in Jesse going against Barry’s direct orders; with his anger and his confidence in his abilities as his follies. He wanted to hunt the Marabunta alone. Olivia couldn’t allow a fellow jacketed member, let alone her boyfriend, do this, and went with him. They staked out an oxy spot after being told by Finn and Lizzie that the Marabunta were running a job. Unfortunately, they were outnumbered, and both Olivia and Jesse went down.
Upon finding this out, Barry, Pez, and Dundee were furious. Barry stated, "We don't need heroes, we need club members." Jesse, when confronted, agreed to take full responsibility for his mistake, and knew it was reckless. He was somber. He told Pez that he was trying to become used to having to deal with emotions during times that he would usually be calm. Olivia was angry, but she, Pez and Jesse spoke their feelings to eachother. Olivia reminded Jesse that his fuck ups are her fuck ups. The conversation ended with them all stating together that they are family.
A few days passed. Just moments after Jesse purchased his Challenger Demon, he recieved a phone call from Collin telling him that he did not care about anything that he was doing, he needed to drop it. Chain had been kidnapped by the Marabunta from Hayes, and they needed to gear up to get him back. Jesse met with Collin and Jordan, and they began scouting the Sandy and Paleto, as the only clue they had was that the Marabunta were headed North. They spotted two Marabunta members at the Paleto Farmers Market, and immediately shot them both down. They kidnapped them and took them to a secluded area to get information about what they did to Chain. Collin and Jordan snapped, removing one of the Marabunta's fingers; the second Marabunta told them where Chain was, in exchange for them to stop. Jordan and Jesse drove to the location; the downed Marabunta (he later told him his name is Machete) telling them where to go. They found him, and immediately rushed him to Pillbox. Jesse stayed by his side.
Jesse took a small of time recooperating in his apartment (OOC: IDDQD took a break), and returned to the city awaiting more news on the war. Olivia told him about the multiple attempts on her life, and her kidnapping. Jesse told her about a text message he recieved while sleeping from Barry, stating that there was a sign left on the BBMC's warehouse that read: 'I want Jesse's head or it will never end'. Jesse took that as a challenge, and encouraged whoever did it to bring it on.
Whilst running Oxy with Morgan and Teddy, Jesse received an urgent phone call from Pez, saying that Edbert had been kidnapped by the Marabunta Grande. Jesse dropped everything in order to assist him, however was stopped in his preparations by an additional phonecall from Pez to tell him that Edbert was just pulling a prank.
Doing something so careless during a time of war led to Jesse and the rest of the club to be extremely angry at Edbert. Jesse upon finding out that the hangaround had made a joke out of something that his girlfriend had been through, knew that it would cost Edbert the jacket that he was very close to getting.
Jesse had a long talk with Dundee about the role of hangarounds in the club, especially in the war. He was tired of his friends being walking targets to the Marabunta Grande. With his blessing, Jesse was allowed to instruct the hangarounds that they could defend themselves.
Later that night, after seeing Raul of the Marabunta Grande calling Edbert out on twatter, Jesse, Edbert, Chain, and Junior thought that they should retaliate. Pez came up with the idea to use Edbert as bait to ambush Raul and whoever he might bring with him.
“The only reason I’m alive is because I detach my feelings from situations and I only go in level-headed, and I feel like this is not a level-headed plan; this is done out of spite and vengeance, and that usually never ends well.”
Jesse was cautious in going through with the plan due to when he acted on impulse previously; the situation that got Olivia hurt. He was calculated and tactical in his preparations. However, they found a car of Marabunta, more than the one they anticipated. A short chase ensued as they shot at Chain’s vehicle before pulling off. Jesse stayed quiet, and wanted to see Chain’s leadership; however, they encountered the Marabunta again and Chain’s car was disabled.
Jesse did not want to step on toes, however wanted to ensure that his club members were not killed in the process. He noted that Edbert and Chain both sounded shaken, and took charge of the situation. He told them all to keep their cool, and tried to ensure that everyone was remaining level-headed.
The Marabunta further antagonised the Bondi Boys on twatter, so after a small recoup, the group decided to run reconnaissance in Vespucci. Edbert saw a black stratum being driven by someone in a light blue shirt, and Chain gave the order to hunt them down.
They spotted them, and pursued. Jesse tried to exit the vehicle to attack the 4 Marabunta, however was hit by the car door, and was knocked off balance. The Marabunta shot him down before he could aim his gun. Despite their lost, they were able to laugh off their injuries, Jesse even claiming that he was shot by racoons with AKs. The boys left Pillbox Medical and met with Pez, who told them that every loss is an opportunity to learn, and they would not learn anything about war without participating in it.
The war with Marabunta Grande promptly 'ended' when Dundee informed Machete of the MG that they weren’t worth his and BBMC’s time.However, after Dundee went to sleep, Sergio twatted out asking if any BBMC members were awake. Olivia responded, and her and Sergio organised to meet. Chain, Jordan and Olivia met with him as well as two other MG members. They agreed on the terms of returning the Marabuntas’ bandanas within 24 hours, and no longer selling meth on Fudge Lane. 
Pez, Jordan, Stevie and Jesse dressed in their kuttes on the following day to meet with the MG to further discuss terms. They agreed for a clean trade off of the bandanas and Barry’s pet scorpion Hanzo when everyone was awake and the items were available. 
The official trade off was made two days later with Machete, Pez, Jesse, and Edbert. Reluctantly, Hanzo was returned to the BBMC’s hands, and the Marabunta Grande’s bandanas were returned to theirs’. The war ended on friendly terms.
====== War: BBMC vs Chang Gang ======
Due to Anto and Mario of Chang Gang pushing weed outside of the Billabong, disrespecting the BBMC, and attempting to shoot Dundee upon questioning, Dundee retaliated by stealing Anto’s signature “Chang Gang” Chain. Despite Dundee’s efforts to rectify the situation and help Mario, since Anto was "the only one that was giving Dundee attitude and waving the name of CG around like a hall pass”, war was declared by Mr K. Dundee told them that fighting would be avoided and he would return the chain in return for an apology. This unfortunately did not happen. Chang Gang tricked Dundee, saying that they would apologise, and attacked him immediately after he returned the chain. 
After Jesse heard of this news, he immediately organised a new gun connection for the club through a source named ‘Kitsune’, Mayumi Himura, in order to replace the one lost by fighting CG and fighting Flippy. 
Jesse spoke against the war, and said that most in the club would probably not want to fight it and would need persuading. However, he reminded Dundee that he would “run into an army of 400 people for him, any day of the week.”
The day after Dundee returned the chain, Flippy kidnapped Olivia and dropped her out of a helicopter above the billabong while taunting Jordan over the radio, as a show of force. Jordan, Jesse and Stevie found her broken body with a low pulse in an alleyway. Jesse was by her side and tried to speak to her but she was unresponsive. Both he and Stevie took her into Pillbox Medical. She had to go into surgery for her injures; two broken legs, four broken ribs and a fractured spine. Jesse was enraged that the higher ups ‘started a war’ and then were not there to fight it. 
Outside of Pillbox, Jesse, Stevie and Jordan discussed the war. Jesse, in the heat of the moment, was angry that they couldn’t get the time to speak to Dundee, and that Olivia was always caught in the crossfire. Jesse had to leave before Olivia recovered from surgery, however she woke up responsive and alert, with metal rods in her legs, metal discs in her back and needing crutches and physical therapy in the future.
Later that evening, the prospects and the hangarounds agreed to not take the bait and feed into Flippy trying to antagonise them into retaliation. They agreed their biggest weapon against an ego was to ignore them. 
Despite being told on three separate occasions that the war was over, CG continued hunting the BBMC. Jesse did not participate during the few altercations that the BBMC and CG had, since they happened while he was asleep, and continued to hold his disagreement with the war. 
Mr K demanded $100,000 to end the war, to which Jesse thought was ridiculous. He had lost hope in fighting a war that was “like hitting endless piggy banks that kept mending themselves after being broken open”. 
Jesse focused on the wellbeing of his club members, especially Dundee, as the attacks continued. He became an emotional pillar for some time for him, and took every opportunity to show Dundee kindness and care.
The end of the war was paid for in a meeting with Dundee, Pez, Wolfe and Barry on the 11th of September, 2021. 
====== A Close Call ======
After a successful Vault robbery with his Nightfall family, Jesse and AP were driving together and having a heart-to-heart. Whilst driving, their car flew off of a ridge and exploded. Jesse was left bloody, burnt and bruised, hoping for someone to find him and his demon brother. AP called for help as loudly as he could. 
Some time later, they were finally found by Cora and JJ, but Jesse’s injuries worsened as they were left untreated. After realising that Jesse’s pulse was weak, Cora and JJ rushed them to the hospital. Jesse was surgically treated by Dr Charlie and then admitted into the ICU.
He suffered from burns all over his body, one broken leg, and heavy blood loss due to a shrapnel wound to the back of his head. All of Jesse’s emergency contacts, other than Cora, were not awake; however, Cora called Jordan to tell Barry, Dundee and Pez of Jesse’s condition when they woke up.
Cora stayed by his side in the ICU for as long as she was allowed, and pleaded with his unconscious body to wake up and be okay. Jesse woke up a few days after and needed crutches for a day or so. He made a speedy recovery.
