== Leanbois & Vagos War ==
:The war began when Leanbois member Saab stole Dexx's car. Dexx traced it, and got his car back, despite Saab's attempt to chase him down. Mr. Chang found out, and tried to mediate the situation between Dexx and Saab. Saab brought Tony along, but things got heated between Tony and Dexx who accused Saab of stealing his car. Tony denied it and punched Dexx, and Dexx then shot Saab in the crossfire. In return, Saab & Tony shot him. Things seemed to settle down, but Dexx & Chef did not forget the incident.
: Leanbois & Vagos started working closely together due to the friendship of Vagos leader Speedy & Leanbois OG Buddha. Together the two gangs began harassing and intimidating Vanilla Unicorn manager Gunn. She was friends with The Families and the club was frequented by The Families. The Leanbois and Vagos were convinced The Families ran the VU. Speedy wanted the club, and if he could not have it, he was willing to destroy it's business.
: There was a shootout at the VU between The Families & the Leanbois with Speedy. The shootout resulted in the death of Families James Carter. After this event, the entire southside was at war.
