===The Stop===
Edbert is driving home through Vespucci Canals to get to his apartment he shares with Victor Fittipaldi . He is just casually jumping over some bridges when he runs into Randy Wrangler in a undercover Comet. Edbert decides to pull over so he only gets the ticket. Upon pulling over and Edbert is asked to show his id, which he shows. Edbert is then asked for the first time to get out of the car, for a traffic stop, which was never done before. But Edbert complies in hopes of not sounding suspicious and gets out the car. Wrangler askes if Edbert has ever done eny heroin, Edbert correctly replies "no" then rolls up the sleeve of his right arm to prove it.
===Getting Caught===
"There is no reason to run if all I've done is speed, they have no reason to check the car"
Edbert now sitting alone in the car, is waiting for his buddy Steven Stone III to be done asking questions to. As Edbert waits, he alerts Stevie McQueen about the situation. As he is done texting, he sees Stone getting handcuffed. Seeing this he immediately tries to alert Stevie, but realizing she was asleep, he frantically texts Collin McKinley, asking him to shoot the officers so they can escape getting the 9's. Collin calls Edbert but Edbert cannot pick up because he is being watched by another cop.
Wrangler now comes back to Edbert, and asks him to step out the car again. This time he asks if Edbert has a gun on him, to which Edbert says yes and proceeds to show the registration for his gun license, but wrangler is somehow scared by this, so Edbert puts the phone away. Wrangler askes to search Edbert so he could get the gun out, but Edbert denies. Not complying to a search is within the rules. After Wrangler asks the third time, Edbert gets tazed and cuffed, and after being searched, Wrangler finds weed in the pockets. Then he proceeds to search the trunk of the car and finds even more weed.
Edbert is now put into the Police cruiser and taken to Mission Row PD.
===The Interrogation===
Edbert is now sitting in the Interrogation room, waiting for his lawyer Anna Swallows to come down, he strikes a menacing T-pose, asserting dominance over the interrogation table. When Anna comes down she instructs Edbert to say nothing and Think before saying anything. But Edbert has only 2 braincells so he forgets this late on. Wrangler now enters the room and reads the rights to Edbert once again. After concluding that there are in fact two T's in "Attorney" and one in "Drug Trafficking", They get to discussion. 
Anna Swallows asks Randy Wrangler how a routine traffic stop turned into a Search and Seizure and then a 9's charge. Wrangler replies as Edbert would not comply with Wrangler to retrieve the firearm from Edbert pockets for the security of the officers. But Edbert had already agreed to put the gun on the ground. The other officer says the reason the stop was conducted as a normal traffic stop is to help not escalate the situation further, and that the car was seen driving at high speeds and doing jumps before. The stop was considered to be for reckless driving for which a search is authorized. But that would mean Wrangler lied to Anna about the reason they were there to begin with. The officer responds that the probable cause is the fact that they were pulling Edbert over for reckless driving, which is an arrest-able offence. But Wrangler had never told anna about the reckless driving, but they move on from that. Wrangler then leaves the room to find out how much weed was found in total. He comes back later to say the total meth weight came to about 2.8 pounds, which was a felony amount. Anna asks Wrangler about how to not turn this into a 9's charge because Edbert has had no priors. Wrangler says he could ask some questions to Edbert and then he will see.
Wrangler asks Edbert how he got the weed, Edbert replies with "the weed? I grew it myself!". This is where Edbert realizes hes fucked himself over by admitting to cultivating. Wrangler asks where he grew the weed, Edbert not wanting to give any further information says he grows it all around town. "Where were you taking this weed sir?" "I was just driving around trying to figure out what to do with it".
Wrangler now believes Edbert is in a gang (which he was), so he pressures Edbert to tell him the gang name but Edbert says nothing and Wrangler eventually gives up.
===Conclusion===
*Edbert got jailed for the 9's
*Steven Stone III was charged with accomplice 
*Edbert now hates the PD
== Encounter with the Puppet Master ==
Click to expand
While sitting in his brand new office for Fujiwara (located in the Cerberus Building), Edbert saw a twat from the Puppet Master, Stating that the streets would run red with blood. Edbert being Edbert responded with "How would a street run?" and carried on with his business. However shortly after he sent his twat, he received an email saying he was blacklisted from boosting. This resulted in Edbert panicking and receiving a call from the PM. The PM insulted Edberts intelligence, but offered him a way out, requesting a 250GNE stick to be placed in a dumpster at a certain ping. He was given the additional instruction to not be followed, or bring anyone with him to the location. 
In a panic he quickly got changed, and began scrambling to find a laptop. Making his way to the Alta St. Apartments where he found Fey. He begged Fey to let him borrow her laptop, and later her VPN so he could order the stick. He quickly found out that he couldn't buy a 250 stick or enough sticks to make 250 due to the low stock. He then contacted Shaneo who made sure to tell Edbert that he was "A fuckwit". He then told Edbert to meet him out back of Hayes. Upon Edberts arrival he waited for Shaneo who arrived a few minutes later with Pezz Speedwagon. After some fear mongering and request of a will, Pezz and Shaneo led Edbert to the Underground, and gave him a 250GNE stick. 
Before he could leave Shaneo requested that Edbert mark the same ping from the PM so that he and Pezz could be overwatch if things went south. Edbert did so, but told the two that they can't be seen or he would be in trouble with the PM. He then raced to the ping and left the stick in a dumpster, leaving immediately after. Edbert awaited the PMs response, while Pezz and Shaneo radioed an ongoing situation at the location. A person pulled up in a Lamborghini and pulled out an AK-47 on Pezz and Shaneo who left immediately. Edbert began to panic because he knew he wasn't supposed to be followed and expected the worse. 
His phone rang shortly after from another unknown number, the voice that answered was that of a man with a thick possible Haitian accent, named Earl. Earl and the PM were upset with Edbert for disobeying instructions, to which Edbert pleaded and explained himself. Earl cut him off telling Edbert that regardless of what happened he completed what was asked of him. Earl made it known to Edbert that another man, Antonio Rodrigues also upset the PM and needed to be taught a lesson. He told Edbert to shoot Antonio, and send a picture as proof, to which Ed accepted the terms of.
Edbert confirmed that this Antonio was the same as Junior's hangaround, and began to justify what he was about to do. If he were to complete this task for the PM, not only would all of BBMC be safe from him for the time being, he would also gain the respect of this mysterious figure. He further justified his plans by planning on shooting Antonio in a non-vital area. He then set up a meeting with Antonio and met up with him making small talk, before bringing up the PM's twat. As they neared the docks Edbert made his intentions clear, and held Antonio up explaining what went down, and what he planned on doing. Antonio told Edbert he understood, and seemed to be okay as he could be with the situation. (However Antonio head popped, and the situation was postponed for the time being, we will be picking up shortly before the situation concluded)
Edbert lead Antonio to the large boat near the where they initially spoke. The entire time Edbert kept explaining himself, before having Antonio stop at a ledge on the left front of the boat. He justified his actions one last time, and promised to aim in a non vital area so Antonio could pull through. He unloaded his weapon into the gut of Antonio. He then grabbed his body throwing it into the ocean. The task was done, and he sat there for a moment before realizing he forgot the photo. So he dove into the water after Antonio, finding his body after some searching and took a photo. After taking his photo, he sent it to Earl and immediately left the area. It is unknown if Antonio has died from situation yet.
