Complications

**Complications** is a mission in Grand Theft Auto V. It is given to Franklin by Simeon.

## Plot

When Franklin arrives at the dealership, Simeon is speaking with a potential customer about a car. Simeon tells Franklin to go to a Rockford Hills address to repossess a car recently purchased by James (a teenager who was at the dealership during the events of Franklin and Lamar). Simeon claims James is already late on his payments, and he fears that he will do more damage to the SUV than he can recuperate in interest.

On the way to the address, Simeon calls Franklin, accusing him of stealing the bike he and Lamar repossessed earlier, and tells him that the SUV is stored in the house's locked garage, meaning Franklin has to break into the house in order to retrieve the vehicle. Franklin arrives at the mansion, where a gardener is working. After knocking the gardener out, Franklin climbs onto the gardener's pickup truck to access the open bathroom window. After Franklin sneaks past the residents, he takes the vehicle, with Michael hidden under a blanket in the backseat, unbeknownst to Franklin.

After driving away from the mansion, Michael emerges from the backseat, holding Franklin at gunpoint. Franklin attempts to explain the situation to Michael; however, Michael, who deduces that Franklin is working as a part of a credit fraud scheme, demands that Franklin drive to his intended destination, the dealership. When Franklin is a block away from the dealership, Michael tells him to drive the SUV into the front window, otherwise he will kill Franklin and do it himself. After crashing the SUV into the showroom, Simeon demands an explanation from Franklin. After Michael gives Franklin some money and tells him to leave, he proceeds to beat up Simeon. Simeon fires Franklin and Lamar shortly thereafter.

When the player switches back to Franklin, he will be on a phone call with Lamar explaining they were fired.

Along with Franklin, he attended Davis High School with Tonya, and Tanisha and graduated around 2005. Lamar is also friends with JB, accidentally "crossing swords" during a threesome once.

### Events of Grand Theft Auto V

In Franklin and Lamar, the duo are tasked with repossessing two convertibles located at a beachfront house. The two briefly crosses path with Michael in Pacific Bluffs, who unknowingly gives them their repossession location. Lamar and Franklin decide to race to "test out the cars," starting at the Del Perro Freeway to the Union Depository parking lot. After a brief conversation, the two hear sirens and escape from the police. Franklin meets up with Lamar at the car dealership, and sees Simeon criticizing a teenager for making racist comments, a tactic to scam him into buying an SUV. The two later head to Forum Drive.

Later, in Repossession, Lamar walks into Simeon's office and is surprised to see Franklin has been awarded Employee of the Month. Upset, the duo are tasked with repossessing a motorcycle located in a Vespucci Beach alleyway, an area known for Vagos activity. When confronted in the lockup, Lamar pulls out a concealed SMG and shoots a Vagos member. The two escape the gunfight, however the repossession is worthless when the owner is killed. Because of this, Lamar keeps the motorcycle for himself.

Although he doesn't appear in Complications, Lamar is heard in a post-mission phone call with Franklin. Franklin explains because he crashed the repossession through the dealership, and Lamar kept the repossessed motorcycle for himself, Simeon fired the two.

In Chop, Lamar meets up with Franklin at his house and compliments Denise behind her back. Franklin tags along with him into kidnapping a Balla member named D. The two drive to a Vinewood alley and confront D with a pistol. A high speed chase ensues and D is hit by a bus in Textile City. With the help of Lamar's dog Chop, they successfully put D in the back of a van. However, they're forced to release him after Lamar makes a call on his cellphone, revealing their location to the police. Franklin then drops off Lamar at the rec center.

This is my fantasy Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, how I believe the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame should look. For many years the Rock Hall has been inducting artists whose music is clearly not a form of rock, neglecting backing groups, and acting like a business instead of an honor society. My Hall seeks to view what it would be like if these problems did not exist.
