Each recap includes the episode number, date of stream (for some), link to the vod (eventually collection), an Executive Summary, detailed summary, and timestamps to moments in the vod - key moments are bold (per editing's quick discretion and aimed at longer storylines, so take it at that). Additionally, they are written from Nino's perspective (well, a viewer): they contain bias per the world of NoPixel. Occasionally, there is written content from another view: these sections are expressed with disclaimers.

### **Episode 162 [Feb 1, 2021]**

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/897106948

[not collection]

**Executive Summary: The hunt continues for the Italian woman yet she is not to be found. The large bank vault is hit in a creative way. While visiting Saab in the ICU, Trooper Hunter briefly pulls Saab’s life support cord from the machine, to which Nino immediately pulls his AR and puts Hunter on the ground. Nino is shot and everything goes black as he is carried into Pillbox.**

Stop at the tuner shop. Call from some guy about a girl named Cinnamon or something. Turns out Curtis and Miles are getting chased by cops. Random guy on the street informs that a cat lady is angry because Nino put her sister in a coma. He does warn that this woman seems to have multiple personalities. Name is Zenna Mon, same as a few minutes ago. At PDM, woman with red hair and black cat ears introduces herself as Zenna. Nino confronts her. Maia is her sister. She joins Nino in the Ferrari and Nino questions about Italy. She was in that country about 5 years ago. And to the lighthouse we go. Nino is quick to shoot a few rounds into her torso, then jet skis her further out into the ocean as she gasps for air.

Nino updates Saab on the women killings yesterday. A unhappy Lana calls about her friend Natalie ending up in the morgue. Lana yells that Nino killed her. Nah, we deny.

Eugene explains the craziness of the day so far: some cops murdered a prisoner in Bolingbroke, something else, then now the PD are bleeding us dry of gear. For some reason criminals were trying to also help out Dark. Nino tells all that Natalie is dead dead. And there’s like 2 women still in comas and a new woman in the ocean.

Back on the hunt for the Italian woman! Nino enjoys some coke. Fiona went to Italy on vacation – she’s taken to the cave. Fiona’s interrogated while standing in the gun range with Nino and Saab shooting manically around her. More tests and questions later Fiona is blindfolded and dropped off somewhere outside the bunker. Curtis and Miles now are with Nino and Saab. Some racing. Quick stop at MRPD, no one needs a lawyer right now. Ambulance chasing as Curtis and a few others flew out of their cars racing. Pillbox. Phone call with Vinny, Nino learns Vinny was raided. Four Tee is in Bolingbroke and if anyone is down we can break her out. Another race. Okay now Nino and a bunch of people are shooting at something in a snowstorm. Tsunami.

Saab calls that he, Ash, Elena, and Cheddar are hitting the vault. Well good luck! There’s going to be a wedding held at the vault too. Red wedding, gonna be Cheddar/Brie and Carmella. Party time. Chat with Mariam. Eugene brought coke! Guess what we do next.

Ash has a cop hostage and shit’s going down, says Miles. Maybe powerplant. Yup, vault gonna be hit. Back to the party. A whole busload of people to a clothing store – everybody dresses in the exact same clothes. Like 10-20 people. Everyone is then corralled into the back of a truck and head into the big vault bank. Everyone claps and cheers as Carmella walks in with her white wedding dress. Meanwhile, the vault’s being hit. Escape is easy for the robbers as about 20 people simultaneously run out of the front doors at the same time all wearing the same outfit.

Trooper AJ Hunter calls to ask Nino how much Saab is worth. Uh oh. Saab’s at Pillbox – he’s in the intensive care unit. Next to his doctor, Nino stands solemnly at the foot of Saab’s bed; at the sign of Hunter unplugging the cord to Saab’s life support, Nino is quick to pull an AR and blast him, just as Hunter returns the plug into the machine. Nino forces the doctor to leave Hunter on the ground and instead escort him out of the hospital. As he leaves, a pair of cops arrive after hearing the shots and become suspicious of Nino. After walking through the glass doors to outside, Nino turns around and pulls out his AR again, promptly getting shot. Handcuffs are placed on Nino as he lays on the ground, drifting in and out of consciousness. Everything goes black as Nino is carried into Pillbox and the rapid voices of the cops and doctors start to slowly fade away.

### **Episode 161 [Jan 31, 2021]**

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/895787471

[not collection]

**Executive Summary: Ex-CID detective Darrel McCormick is kidnapped to be given a present – he’s blown up with c4. Coked up Nino enlists his contacts in LS to find and retire an old fling of his, an Italian woman who wants a relationship; oh, and she’s the daughter of Nino’s overseas accountant who controls all his assets and access to travel between countries. A bachelor event is even held to lure her out. If we don’t find her, things could go to real shit…**

Ex-CID Darrel McCormick calls about a guy in MRPD who needs a lawyer. To MRPD: attorney services no longer needed but the two plan to talk later. Nino rings up Miles to get his plan started. To Harmony! Miguel’s here, Nino enlists the Harmony boy’s help now too.

Miles introduces some guy named Trigger to Nino. Talk on materials. Cocaine. To toolshop. Flippy is offered 2k to pick up McCormick and remove his tracker. We pick up some things from the warehouse. More lines and also shares with Miles.

Nino brings SIA up to speed on a woman stalking him – named Kerry(?) or Trisha(?) or something else entirely even. The woman is from Italy and needs to die.

An Eli White needs a lawyer. Back to MRPD. Joyriding, negligent driving, and resisting arrest are the charges to argue against. After listening to Eli for a few minutes, Nino strolls back to the cops and says they can have fun with the guy.

Nino explains to Miles that the stage 5 clinger Italian’s father is the guy who runs Nino’s books overseas. Oh. Although he may not know because he’s a workaholic and doesn’t talk to his daughter much… more cocaine, this is stressful. SIA updates on their plan.

Nino holds up a woman in a bar for himself and Miles to interrogate. They ask a few questions and check her passport. After determining she’s not who they’re looking for, Nino hits on her.

Flippy calls to say the job is done and he’s heading to Humane Labs but the cops are in the know so the clock is ticking. Saab has now joined. Top speed to Humane Labs!! After a repair and change of clothes of course. While Nino and Miles fix the car, Saab prepares the c4 and weaponry. More prep like grabbing joints. Nino updates Saab on the Italian woman story: she had started out a fling but then became a clinger. Flippy calls about the new location, movie theater at Vinewood.

Nino and Saab, both wearing all black and masking their voices, pull their C2s as they approach McCormick who stands handcuffed next to Flippy and clearly not Eugene. First question is how long he’s worked for the PD: 3 or 4 years. He admits to being an ex-detective for the CID and says he was just doing his job. Nino says, “I believe there’s something you were looking for a long time ago, and I want to be sure to return what is rightfully yours.” Saab gives McCormick his present. “Goodbye, Mr. McCormick.” Boom, blown up with c4.

All four exit the theater to find the PD on the chase with a car and a heli – Flippy takes the driver seat and they manage to evade.

Ash says she kidnapped some bitch who has an open investigation on Nino – Ash is freaking out. Number one intern Eugene receives a golden star poster. Flippy says the location change from Humane Labs to the theater was due to the cops. SIA updates that the cops are after them now and it’s not looking good. Nino, Saab, and Miles set up for this next scenario.

Nino tells Saab about the Italian woman. He originally met her at a party and thought she seemed someone to fuck him over if Nino left her. Anyway, she blackmailed Nino last night and her father is Nino’s offshores accountant. She may be in the city today. Miles updates that he managed to lose the cops and that Lilith still has the woman kidnapped from earlier. Nino tells of the job a few years ago he did with Curtis, JJ, and Randy where McCormick investigated and recognized Nino’s voice. Also there was an incident in the past involving Snake.

Vineyard. Cops heard. We scout the area. Back to vineyard. Inside, SIA briefs on the woman they have – NY accent and yelled she was investigating Nino and Landon so she’s here now. Miles had run over Copper earlier when we were at MRPD. Plus later at Harmony a KKona man and woman pair were found taking pictures so Miles got the photos deleted. Well this is the woman. We’ll question this woman then dump her. Nino stands back and watches the show unfold as SIA gets aggressive. Nino leaves early, leaving the situation in control by Miles.

Saab says he kidnapped a woman from England. Nino gives a bit of a recap of the situation with the England woman, whose name is Victoria. Gotta find Italian woman still. Javier calls and joins in the chaos. Meet at Sahara International office; it’s Nino, Saab, and Javier. The latter is updated.

Here’s the story: While doing some logistics work in Italy, Nino met a woman at a party. They began a fling and she became more attached to the state of being a clinger. Nino learned her father is actually his accountant – the guy in charge and access to all of Nino’s accounts, be it crypto, stocks, etc. Sahara is funded through this accountant. He also provides Nino with a way to travel between countries, as Nino has a bit of a record and his name would flag Interpol, etc. Now his daughter, who Nino can’t remember her name or face, wants a relationship from her email sent yesterday (blackmail according to Nino) and is a massive liability – if Nino’s assets are frozen, we’re fucked… we would only have enough money to last a few days at best and Nino also would be stuck in Los Santos because he can no longer travel – although we know the contacts to transverse borders, we wouldn’t have the money to pay them. So this is bad, very bad. Long story short, Nino may be stuck in Los Santos with no incoming money. We need to find this woman and we are on a timeline. Nino, Javier, and Saab brainstorm ideas to lure her out.

Nino learns Peter Ross is in the city. Nino, Saab, Miles, Javier, and Ash link. Nino lines up some more cocaine. The girls arrive and want a detailed explanation for why we’re looking for a woman from Italy. JJ joins. The large group splits – we’re all on the hunt. Every woman is sus.

Nino rolls with JJ, Javier, and Saab. They all just wear masks to cover their faces. Victoria, the England woman from earlier, may be in trouble. Anyway. Hm, maybe Violet? She’s Italian! We lure her into our car. Her turn to get questioned in a parking garage. Another Italian may be a Gio, let’s find her. Maybe a Sam. Maybe a Berkeley. More tips, more chase. Talk with Victoria Taylor, in person. New plan, Maze Bank Arena for a bachelor event: Ash and Violet setting it up. We’ll keep hunting. Another woman picked up, Vanessa. Maia now, dating service girl.

Bachelors for event going to be Nino, Miles, and Javier. Tony now joins. And Peter. New people are updated. We’ve killed like 5-10 women so far. Prep for event. Tony, K, and Aleks are the bachelors with Italian Tony to do the vetting. K and Aleks also vet. Vinny wants to know wtf is happening. They determine it may be Maia – so we’ll give her the prize money and send CG to end her life. CG can then keep the 200k. Maia is announced as the winner and things begin to unfold. The pier is chosen for location and after exchanging the money, Nino and Ash watch from afar as CG closes in.

There’s another woman on the radar, gotta check her out too. Amphitheater. Oh shit, where is she?! Nino calls Lana who knows this woman named Natalie – Lana agrees to pass along Nino’s number to her friend. Hunt continues.

Nino meets with K, Ramee, and Vinny to update them on the Italian woman and his situation. CG claims they killed Maia and she could have been the woman. But need to be sure. Ramee says meteorologists are foreseeing a massive tsunami coming on the 4th. Miles calls that he has a redhead and Nino drives to Grandma’s to meet him. The redhead, Amber Maple, says she cannot remember anything past the last 3 years and she’s from Canada. She’s given cocaine. She doesn’t have a passport but only an ID. Nino orders that Amber’s put into another coma. Miles has another body to drop and hide.

Natalie calls and Nino arranges to have her picked up. Location for her will be the church. A few minutes and Natalie strolls in all dolled up for her date. Jessie and Lilith take a seat in a pew. Nino starts the friendly interrogation. Her father’s from Italy and she has no idea what he did because he kept his work pretty secret. And she also says he may be ex-mafia as a lot of people were always at the house when she was younger. Maybe drug cartel. By this point Miles and SIA all occupy the church. Turns out this Natalie is pretty young – 22 - she wouldn’t have been the woman. She turns suddenly and finds the amount of people now in the church suspicious. Nino signals for her to be taken away and half of SIA lead her out by gunpoint while Nino, Jessie, and Lilith act surprised and put their hands up. Jessie and Lilith explain their past kills of today. We’re either gonna find this Italian woman and/or get a massive investigation on us. To the incinerator cause we want to watch the end of Natalie.

New woman, Mariam from Egypt. Nino takes her to PDM and asks her to wait inside the office. Nino introduces her to Ramee, who earlier is part of what seems to be a joke that he snitched and all his shit was raided. She says she left her village for a reason and within 30 seconds leaves. Ramee says he’ll give her a chance and they chase Mariam.

At the court center SIA sighs as Nino walks up with guest Mariam. Ash has beef with Mariam and there’s a fight. Miles has to take Mariam to Pillbox. Ash is still pissed. Nino informs Lilith to overwatch Mariam in the future – she may be good material. Nino tells off Ash for being hostile to the guest. Nino learns Mariam has two personalities – one is El Snow when she dresses as a cat woman and mask and the other is Mariam, the one we met.

Kill rate of women in LS is now at about 1 every 30 minutes. Peter’s also here. Nino has a talk with Ash. Mariam comes back with Miles and the two women hash it out, Mariam and Ash.  Lilith shows and she and Mariam leave.

Nino joins K, Vinny, and Ramee in a hit on a prison transport. Nevermind, all that prep for no action. Anyway we hang a bit with CG.

**Executive Summary: Infected with Clapitis/Claprona, Nino partakes in a successful prison transport breakout.**

Meets a British hobo guy who drinks to dumb the pain.

Meets Curtis and Miles, who were racing earlier. Curtis develops a rant – he wants to clap everybody until they don’t wake up - and Nino promptly calls a psychiatrist to set an appointment at Pillbox for 10k. Talks on particulars and what Curtis is upset about: something on asking for the “tens/tints(?) from Tommy. Talk with a guy who thinks Nino is asking for a prostitute.

At Pillbox, Nino talks to a Tiffany and convinces her to give Curtis a call next he’s in the city. Quick talk with the psychiatrist yet we’ll have to reschedule as Curtis fell asleep. Omg what if Curtis has the virus?! A virus that makes one down to clap anybody and everybody? The three freak out. Randy calls – Nino joins his crew so he can go clap cops. Now we have the virus. Basically some situation kidnapping a cop earlier has led to a prison transport we need to hit to save Vinny, Taco, Eugene, and Wayne. Nino and Randy call more people to join and prepare. In the middle of getting ready, Nino is called by the PD seeking an attorney for the guys we’re about to try and break out. Heli is acquired and action ensues. We succeed!

**Executive Summary: Nino learns of what went down last night during his nostalgic high. Tony and Nino relink to discuss Tony’s part in the family – the invitation to join is revoked for the time being but they’re chill and say they have each other’s back.**

Meets Curtis, Miles, and Elena at the court center. The latter three show in a helicopter. Nino asks what happened last night as he doesn’t remember. Miles tells of the guy in front of Integrity, Elena tells of having to drown a bitch, Miles tells of Nino hitting Ash. We also learn about Tony being shot. “A lot of shit happened.” “Very long story.” There was apparently a lot of ERP talk. JJ joins. Back to talk on the woman. And circles back to Tony – Miles and Tony are each other’s bosses or some shit. Elena explains some more then says she has more updates but we should wait for Saab first. Okay, she just says it: Tony was invited into the Sahara family last night wtf! Nino paces, “this is fucking bad!” Now he’s gonna think he’s in! Maybe we should get a Sahara street, or Sahara sac. What’s up with that mansion we were supposed to get from Payne. Nino reflects, he’s gotta talk to Tony about all this – discussions need made before decisions like this are set in stone. He’s not opposed to it, and Tony could certainly be given an opportunity, but there needs to be time and deep conversations. Well at least no one ended up in jail yesterday. Ash tells of drunk bipolar Nino last night.

Saab joins and thinks it’s a joke when the others tell him Tony is now in Sahara; Miles gives the rundown. Nino says he was probably on a nostalgic high. Saab talks on his relationship with Tony and the end of the LB – he doesn’t mind working with Tony but doesn’t want Tony to hold a place in the core group.

Nino calls up Tony, who answers happily. He’ll join us soon to talk in person. Nino, Saab, JJ, Curtis, Ash, Miles, and Elena speak on Tony: commitment, issues, trust, etc. Abdul calls.

Tony in person now – Nino and Tony drive around in the Ferrari. Tony recounts his recollection from yesterday. Tony questions if Nino’s offer to join Sahara was legit and still stands – unfortunately, no. We need time before we can extend an offer like that, time to ensure he would be a good fit and time for Tony to think about his own future as well. Tony says he understands. Nino apologizes for the shitty situation, he has to think of others now. Tony appreciates the words from the heart yesterday though. They say they even each other’s back.

JJ and racing. Quick chat with Eugene. Talk on Sun Moon’s race – the first day was today. Fiona and Miguel took first. Nino calls up a random woman, Ivy, to ask if he beat her last night. Nope, not her, that’s good. Cheddar is dressed like Fiona. Calls another woman, still looking for the one from yesterday. Tweets out. Ash is confused about where she stands. Nino finally comes to the name Hope White for the woman. JJ starts in a race with Nino as passenger: JJ takes first.

Search for Hope White. Lawyer for Max Jackson. Speaks to Officer Ridley and more in MRPD.

Nino calls K about the requested jailbreak for Four Tee, etc. K says he’d appreciate some ammo.

Meets up with Ash.

**Executive Summary: Nino is sick and tired of being sick and tired. Miles, Ash, Elena, and Tony do their best to interact with a drunk Nino. A willing Tony is invited into the family.**

[Mehdi returns to playing the character Nino after getting drunk - please enjoy the following recap of drunk Nino.]

Not a minute in, drunk Nino shoots a random in the head on the sidewalk in front of Integrity. Nino wants to be free. Quick conversation with Ash and Miles – the latter has five days to make sure if Ash has what it takes. Runs over a woman in the street, leaving her bloody and motionless. Nah, no time for this shit, back to the car we go. Hits on another woman nearby and she accepts his invitation to join in the Ferrari. Plan to meet with this woman later and Ash now occupies the passenger seat. Nino goes off because he’s sick and tired of being sick and tired. Another repair, like at least the second time already. Talk on getting laid. Miles pings at Pacific Bluffs and upon arrival, Nino doesn’t remember the woman from earlier, Hope White. She says she can ride really fast so she’s hired. Tony calls and they plan to meet. Nino talks ERP to Hope while Tony remains on the line – he’s not one to hang up first, either. Tony refuses to hang up. Miles is ordered to take care of Tony with a C2. Now Tony’s at Pacific Bluffs. He’s promptly shot by Nino. Miles takes Tony to Pillbox. Nino talks about ERP with Hope before Elena is told to take her away.

Now with just Ash, Nino goes off on a tangent about having to deal with bullshit all the time. Talk on opportunity, etc. Muscle control is lost and a confused Ash keeps getting hit, verbally and physically. “You mean nothing to me…other than you being family.” Then Nino mentions their history and that if anyone hurts her, he will respond in kind. Then hits her again. Etc. back and forth. “Ash, I need you to be able to pick up an AK, and not give a fuck.” She says can do. “Shut the fuck up Ash” then questions if she’s ready. Nino explains Sahara deals with high-end narcotics and C2 weapons. He doesn’t want to stand down. Miles is now instructed to tie up Tony.

“I’ve been through so much, to the point where I don’t know where my future lies, and where Sahara lies… I sit back everyday, wondering how I’m going to provide for the city – cause they keep asking, ‘what is it I’m about to give?’ but I’m done with it, I am…I’m fucking done. You have no idea, what it means, when that line is crossed, because I don’t give a fuck, I don’t give a fucking FLYING FUCK! Everyone and everything, if you don’t mean anything to me, you are a dead man… And there’s a mentality – everyone says they’ve got it but no one has ever exercised it.”

Back to Tony, we meet him again and he’s cuffed. He’s soon let loose and Nino tells him, “Tony I love you like a brother. Don’t ever fuck with my family.” Etc. Tony stands arms crossed, confused. Now Nino’s confused why Tony was picked up and cuffed. Miles has to answer this one. Some awkward chuckles. Nino remarks on his past with Tony, back in Eli’s time. Still on the recurring topic of the roadblocks of others getting in the way. Elena pulls up and gets a swift smack to the face because Nino doesn’t recognize her, whoops. “Sahara is not what it used to be.” Nino talks on feelings and Tony, still with three bullet holes in his chest, again questions what the fuck is going on. More heart to heart and the missed past, their connection. And the connection with Saab and Buddha – the shit they’ve been through together. Nino starts to talk about wanting Tony to be a part of his plan. Nino’s thinking of the future and also of his past. Tony sniffles as Nino continues rambling. “I don’t give a fuck about power; I care about friendship. And at the end of the day…there’s one thing that matters to me more than anything else, and that’s about fucking friendship!” A long time ago, Tony and Saab were close to Nino. “History is all the matters – it’s all we fucking got. It’s all there fucking is, because that’s the only fucking thing that I’ve been talking about with my boys the entire fucking night, is that history is the only the fucking thing that matters – the only fucking thing that matters is the guys you can lean on – if you can’t lean fucking on them, then everything else doesn’t fucking matter! Everything else if fucking bullshit. If you don’t have the guys that when you look at them and you say, ‘I’ve got this guys’ fucking back,’ then who the fuck has?!” Tony says he’s been kinda lost since the Leanbois broke up; he’s having a hard time finding loyal friends. More talk on the past.

Nino continues, “Years ago, you and I used to be so fucking close, you know, and I don’t see myself building my future without you. And that’s me being honest.”  Tony sounds on board. Nino says “I’m not going to be happy if you’re not by my side.” Nino extends his promise to protect Tony. “I want my closest fucking friends together to try to make something of themselves, and no matter what it becomes, I’d rather my friends become something, than us become something else.” “Tony, there’s a mafia I used to run back in the day, and I want you to be a lieutenant.” Tony responds, “I’ll do what I gotta do, and I’ll run what I gotta run.” Nino: “Blood will be spilled.” Tony says he never wants to do Nino wrong, and he has respect for him. He knows the value Nino places on loyalty. Nino calls over Miles, Ash, and Elena – telling them they are all at Tony’s bidding.

Nino drives away. Some cop with the callsign 495 calls in on the radio. Meet back up with Tony and Miles. Nino updates Tony that he’s the El Hefe of the Vagos through Speedy. More talk on family and the past. Ash and Elena join. Miles to work with Tony for the next two weeks. Yay a line of cocaine! Talking about the past again. Hitting people randomly again. More talk with Tony about family.

A shitfaced Nino wants to get shitfaced. He convinces Ash to join in the fun. Drunk Nino continues. Tough love continues. Nino rallies Miles, Ash, and Tony.

**Executive Summary: The relationship dynamic between Nino and Speedy, which was at a constant for over a year, takes a turn: due to the recent events Speedy decides to no longer partner under Sahara to run guns. However, the two remain good friends. To his inner circle Nino clarifies the direction of Sahara and the business-first mentality; a line is drawn as business must not be negatively affected by personal conflicts.**

**Speedy’s Decision:**

TL;DR: The relationship dynamic between Nino and Speedy, which was at a constant for over a year, takes a turn. The secret partnership each shared is ended as Speedy decides he can no longer operate as he has with Nino because Sahara’s image has transitioned to what is similar to a gang.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Link with Speedy: they talk on the various stories being told about yesterday’s events and the pettiness of the source of the situation. They concur the escalation was swift. They talk on their long history and how the city is in a state of quick wartime response. Let’s talk rather than go straight to fighting. Nino plans to talk to Curtis and stabilize the Sahara image from the inside.

Speedy speaks on his relationship with Sahara, “I can not work for you, sadly anymore, El Jefe,” as Sahara can now be construed as another gang in the city, and Speedy cannot lead one gang while working for another. He would rather give up his position selling weaponry than continue with the new updates. Nino replies he doesn’t see Speedy as a lackey, “I don’t think I ever expected you to jump when I tell you to jump. I think you just have. And I think for the longest time, anything I’ve asked from you was a favor, rather than an employee. And I’m very proud of where you’ve taken things. And maybe it hasn’t been obvious where I’ve seen us and our relationship, but for a long time I saw ourselves as partners, rather than a subordinate. So I don’t think you’ve been working for me at all – I think it’s been much deeper than that. I’m not going to ask you to ever make a decision that gonna hurt your organization; that would not be fair to me. I didn’t ask you to be El Jefe of the barrio, for my own gain – it’s because I knew you could grow into something, like a fucking lion yourself.” Heart-to-heart continues. Talk on value and changing times, bigger pictures. Respect for each other in this friendship. Talk on not wanting this war. Whole situation could have been avoided with a phone call – communication base. In this new world, adaption is necessary, but one needs to rely on oneself. Shooters, drivers…different atmosphere. Speedy feels a bit betrayed by Curtis.

Speedy says although he won’t be working for Nino anymore, he appreciates the partnership and will keep the secret, “I’ve got to fly my own wing[?], El Jefe, and it’s been my pleasure to keep calling you Jefe and keep calling Sahara for cartel and make everybody think that it’s another organization than what it’s been – I’m telling you, my secrets have been so secret that people don’t know what the fuck I’ve been talking about.”

Nino replies, “Maybe we need to go back to those roots, and that’s what I’m starting to think within my own organization: that some of my deals need to be iron fisted like they used to be, and if you don’t like it, well, that’s your choice. There’s a lot of growing that needs to be done and a lot of thinking I’ve got to do.”

Speedy says the secretive mystique of Sahara has evaporated – and with it, the fear of the unknown power.

They peacefully part.

To Bolingbroke to be a lawyer for Four Tee, who is in prison for the 9s. Turns out she’s on hold until trial for a murder of Theodosia “Teddy” Addison.

Saab and Miles suddenly connect and request Nino check if either of them are wanted. Uh. Nah, they’re good, but just had a weird traffic stop of sorts. Mike Block and Peanut also involved, including others. Documented evidence not looking good for them. There might be a breakout – requested to K and CG.

Meet with Saab. Updates on Speedy and the war avoided. Miles and Ash nearby. Nino speaks to Saab about the line that needs to be drawn between family/Sahara and individual. Talk on petty shit and when to begin legitimate wars. Focus needs to be on inner family – increasing that strength. Business is paramount. Jobs done in the future need to remain internal as much as possible. Saab agrees.

Saab, Miles, Ash. Talk on materials, we need more and they are hard to get apparently.

Saab, Elena, Curtis, Miles, Ash. JJ joins a bit later. Scott joins but stands just on the side.

Nino speaks on the family image to JJ, Saab, and Curtis. Times have changed as Sahara International is no longer within the shadows. New problems have arisen. Escalations in the city have shorter life spans. Family and individual must be separated, not entirely, but a line needs to be drawn. We have our image to consider. Nino gives the example of the recent Vagos situation. Business must not be negatively affected by personal quarrels. No one is at fault here, not Curtis, it’s just a communication needed within the Sahara members. We need to set the precedent. Collectively, we are strong, but we are not always together. If there is a cross into business, we bring up the issue and it is then a Sahara decision. Next topic: our inner strength long-term. Any new potential recruits to the family need to have a business-first mentality. Skills can be gained and should not be the first values seen. For instance, our secretaries can be included in more jobs.

Scott is given a test of working under Miles for the time being. Miles updates on the oxy operation.

**Executive Summary: Sahara teeters on the edge of war with the Vagos following friction between the EU Vagos and Curtis with Miles. The identity of Sahara is questioned.**

Phone call with some woman. Altercation with Toretti and Dupont with Abdul yelling backup: Toretti damaged the F40’s bumper. Miles and Curtis show. Miles tucks some money in Toretti’s chest pocket.

Nino, Curtis, and Miles find a place to talk. There was a tweet not too long ago  – involved weapon crates  in three different locations. In the barrio, Curtis and Miles intercept a man dressed in head to toe black while scouring, guns were pulled, guy was shot after radioing the location to others on his channel, and EU Vagos JJ called later to complain Sahara took down one of his boys. Curtis responded the guy was unidentifiable and what else did JJ think he was he going to do if a gun is aimed at his face? Then, Curtis is lit up soon after in a second event, when he was with Miles, Novah, and Wayne (now introducing CG in this mix), by JJ and also presumably Benji and Carlito. Curtis wants some more blood. Nino calls Speedy, who was given a different story of events, and now decides to take a closer look at Vagos JJ. Nino and Speedy talk about keeping this contained in just the cliques rather than draw the whole groups in. JJ’s asleep right now though, can’t talk to him at the moment.

Phone call with Ash. Her taxi driver is Scott Spooner. Speedy calls back and there’s more talk on situation from earlier. Curtis is frustrated he can’t respond to the events with the crew before these Vagos go to sleep. Curtis updates CG. Talk on Vagos. Talk on situation.

Nino, Curtis, and Miles speak with Speedy and Benji. There’s still some confusion on what exactly happened. Lots of back and forth. Curtis runs away seeing red mid-conversation. Later in the car with Miles, Nino remarks how he’s supposed to understand and make decisions off parts of stories given and different perspectives. Talk on crews, changing times, etc. Meet back up with Curtis and more talk.

Meet up with Saab. CG, Ash, and some other dude at T. Nino updates Saab. Disrespect from Vagos, what to do in response. Talk on how Sahara operates and what it stands for.

Bolingbroke for lawyer duties. New client says she killed Jessie Skid. Saab says Curtis is about to go after Speedy. News from CG: Vagos going after all Sahara except for Nino. More talk on the same subject with Curtis and Saab. Talk on groups in the city and Sahara’s relationships. Nino says we need to solve our problems ourselves. Seems Vinny wants war.

Saab shows off the mission briefing packet he’s been working on. Talk on Sahara’s image. Assistants join – they now also have assistants. Nino and Curtis continue to discuss as they were/are on slightly different pages. Saab joins. We could question and torture Benji and JJ. Curtis now says he’s kinda over all this. Maybe we’ll sit on this. More talk on Sahara’s identity. Saab has a weapon order from Vinny. To the cave.

Meet with Siz. Materials. While Siz drives off for a moment, Nino and Saab talk about this close war and wanting to stay out of it. Siz puts in an order. Siz is now updated on the main focus of the day.

Nino and Saab remark on Curtis being without backup in the early hours – naturally, he leans toward support from a select few in the city. He’s had to make decisions on his own. And with the reality of Los Santos today, different groups intermingle. With Sahara leaving the shadows, quick evolution has led to an identity crisis. The ESB conflict was the final event that has pushed the organization into being more viewed as a group.

“I don’t care if we get shot. I don’t know where our strength lies. [We] have to test it. Our primary operations are business, and business-first, where it is BBC or whether it is the loan business. That is what makes us. And the decisions I make, you make, the secretaries make – they all affect us; if you come after one of us, we have to be ready to get the other one’s back.” We need to involve the secretaries more. At some point, they will be targeted, and we need to be prepared. Curtis needs to extend some more trust.

Meet with Siz again at the end of a pier. Then at a bank - $390,000.00 given to Siz.

Scott and JJ. These two along with Nino and Saab find a dock to chat. Scott’s back in the city, for 2 weeks now, and meeting people while offering taxi drives. We’re gonna look for a place for Scott to work with us – our old friend. JJ gets updated about earlier.

**Executive Summary: Judge Coyote has records cleared for Miles, Ash, Elena, and Jessie, motions for suspension of the verdict, and dismisses all associated cases and lawsuits. Another case is planned involving Doug Canada being charged with drug trafficking, getting bail, then caught again: several mistrials followed and Doug now wants to sue for loss of income determined to be over $2 million.**

Elena and Ash now out of Bolingbroke – they took the plea deal. Elena has community service.

Food truck by court steps manned by food critic Gordo. Miles, Elena, Jessie. New guy named Lyle who has a very deep voice: similar to Kyle Pred. Claire gets run over in Tuner Shop with Nino, Flippy, and Vinny. Nino pays Flippy for the aircraft carrier mission. Pulled over by Angel. Leah and Sam have their spreadsheets for the car rental business pretty much ready for review.

MRPD. No one needing a lawyer at the moment. Meet with Doug per his civil case as he wants to file for losses. Some assets were illegally frozen. Paperwork review. Doug leaves. Miles joins. Talk on Jessie’s case. Nino calls up Vinny: 50k each for Stanton, Green (the DA), and Wayne Owens (the ADA) with the message “Watch your mouth”. If they wanna play games, we’ll play games. And we’re playing nice.

Nino chats to Coyote about the case. Coyote determines he’s gonna temporarily suspend the plea deal, so no parole standards are expected. He may even through it out. Stanton and Katya both stepped down, leaving Coyote as the only chief judge right now.

Nino and Ramee hang out and pretty much just talk on Rust. Coyote calls: Miles, Ash, and Elena records have been cleared, suspension for the verdict put into motion, all associated cases and lawsuits will be dismissed, and the PD should be informed about the removed parole for the MDT. Coyote also agrees to expunge Jessie’s record with her associated charge.

Vinny calls that the job is done for the DA Paige Green. Meet up later and Vinny gives the story. Food truck. Nino rolls with Ramee. 125k lost to Ramee. Nino cruises with Vinny, Randy, and Ramee.

MRPD looking for clients. Nino meets with Theroux to inform of Coyote’s actions and that we will be dropping the lawsuit against AJ Hunter. And that we have a big case to replace, the one for Doug Canada. Details given on this one. Talk on law firm, etc.

**Executive Summary: In response to Nino’s offer, a shitty plea deal is extended by the DA: 1st degree murder x1, attempted 1st degree x3, and kidnapping x4, with each defendant receiving 7 years in jail with 4 years of parole. Nino confronts the ADA about the lack of reasonable negotiation and agrees to wait another 24 hours for evidence collection in the docket.**

Short call with Miles. Nino reads an email back from the DA and office – in exchange for a plea deal, they offer 1st degree murder x1, attempted 1st degree x3, and kidnapping x4, with each defendant receiving 7 years in jail with 4 years of parole. Well.

To Bolingbroke. CG’s there. Nino tells of the plea deal he doesn’t like: no negotiation in it. Sounds like Elena and company want to be broken out and CG may be offering. Elena’s just about had it with the walls inside prison. Nino speaks with Curtis, Miles, and Jessie outside – he’s furious. Breaking out Elena would not be a good idea… the result would actually be worse, even if the jailbreak is successful. But every other route is not working, we don’t have any options it seems like. And prison life isn’t easy. More talk on the plea deal and situation.

Nino decides he’s gonna try talking to the ADA again. If that’s the plea deal, which wastes our time, Elena and Ash if caught could be going away for like 14 years. “They’re either gonna present a better deal or they’re gonna see the fucking world burn. And I don’t say that just for us – if they try to pull this bullshit with literally anybody, no no no, it’s not gonna happen. A long time ago, I lost faith in the justice system, and that includes the police department. And that is why, that is the very reason why, I got into the business that I did. And while I haven’t been there for a while, I am very much willing to throw my bar license on the table and pick up a fucking AK. I think it’s pretty clear no of us want to do that. But if that’s what needs to be done, that is exactly what’s gonna be done. And I’m very much willing to walk up to Mission Row PD, bring down the justices, and say just that. And if they’re gonna do something crazy, like throw me in the pen - after the carnage begins, I’ll just wait 24 hours to get broken out again. Well let’s just hope it doesn’t come to that. I’m gonna send an email to the ADA, and for the time being let’s do business as usual.”

Miles updates on his business and progress. Theroux calls: he says the DA Green is wondering why she’s conflicted with a case. Nino wants to do the plane weapon drop this week. Nino reviews planning for future missions.

Pillbox for Curtis for surgery. We get an inept doctor apparently. Nino scalpels Curtis and the doc rushes over to actually treat him now. Nino calls a woman Betty who turns out to be a man. Jessie got the full Pepe video – it’s like 17 minutes long. Maybe we accidently killed Curtis, who now needs a new nut. Thankfully, a stranger who identifies as Walter offers his within seconds for like 5k. Some guy towes our F40 outside. Talk on Curtis as we wait outside his operating room. Doc says slight complication, Curtis’ body is rejecting the nut. A dismayed Miles now has to donate his. Walter is refunded. Someone named Ashleigh dressed in all pink looks and sounds like Jessie. New van. Watch of CG and Angels. Jessie and Ashleigh are compared outside the VU.

Nino meets with the ADA; he expresses disinterest in the plea deal. Nino questions the extensive charges on the plea deal. Apparently the time is marked down, the offices have the defendants to be charged for life, but anyway how the hell. Where’s the negotiation. Nino explains how the offices are inciting murders. ADA says he’s got plenty of evidence but it’s yet to show on the docket. ADA is hard set on thinking Miles and SIA murdered that brother. This guy admits he got his bar license online. ADA wants to get the evidence collected first then discuss further. Nino says he’ll wait 24 hours.

Bolingbroke. Ash and Elena are not happy with their situation. They lost their mechanics jobs, they wanted to start a business before, etc. They just want out.

**Executive Summary: A bail hearing is held for Miles, Elena, and Ash: Miles is granted bail while both Elena and Ash are denied. Nino speaks with the ADA about weird particulars of the case as a whole and offers a deal to settle out of court: all charges dropped from Elena, and charges on Miles and Ash dropped down to manslaughter and attempted manslaughter with the kidnapping charges.**

Pulled over, some citations given. Kamacho parked and F40 taken out. Visit to Bolingbroke and Miles updates that Harvey is now in the ICU. Nygma was hit too. Miles requests a phone and bail hearing. Nino suggests a plea deal may be their best bet. An English bloke calls – he may want Nino’s lawyering skills later. Nino links up with Saab. Talk on Javier. Meet with Billy Bruce Springsteen Sprinkle (spelling?). Meet with Chief for a back alley deal with oxy. Murphy calls about an upcoming bail hearing.

Meet with Murphy. Discussion on SIA and what to do and argue in court. Bail hearing begins for Miles, Elena, and Ash. Stanton’s judgement: Miles receives bail set at 300k and bail is denied for both Elena and Ash. They’re held until trial. Nino pulls the ADA into a private meeting to talk about a few particulars of the case. Like the bullet casing being matched to Elena, and how tf that happened. Then onto the lineup. Nino offers up a deal: all charges dropped from Elena, and charges on Miles and Ash dropped down to manslaughter and attempted manslaughter. And I guess also a kidnapping charge. ADA gonna touch base with DA Green.

Nino heads to Bolingbroke to update Elena and Ash. Miles joins. Turns out Paddy got bail. But Elena and Ash didn’t?! Haha, murderers, terrorists, and gun traffickers even get bail but secretaries don’t. Talk with Paddy outside. Edward calls asking about C – seems C is doing the same thing in his company. We meet a Lolla from South Africa on the side of the road: Saab wingmans. Talk with Saab.

Nino and Saab meet with Randy, Novah, Vinny, and Ramee. Talk on the SIA case. Rapid discussion on gun casings and identification. Talk on the Lost MC list and Allen’s name. There’s a new DA, Paige Green. If anyone is caught assisting or breaking out the Lost, that person is going in for accessory. That’s what happened to Bree.  Could lead to a creation of a group the DOJ doesn’t want. Nino and Vinny talk on guns and where the market is headed. K joins.

Talk with Stanton: maybe we can get another bail hearing or an appeal. Talk with logo guy. Leah warns about the possibility of paying the difference if one puts up a bail request.

**Executive Summary: Some more preparation for our cases. A guy named Chief steals the Kamacho.**

Nino updates Curtis on yesterday. Meets Curtis and Miguel at Harmony. For this case, and the bullet casing match without the gun, something is fishy or someone snitched. Maybe it was the firing pin. Can we test this? Hm. Bolingbroke, Miles and Elena are awake. Talk with some new guy in prison. Nino explains the latest to the crew in prison. Miles says Paddy (Lost MC) is trying to get bail. We can investigate Harvey to find his play in the Lost case – if he’s a snitch or not. More information given.

Rolling with Curtis, David Watcher, and David Theroux. Pepe Roni, the cameraman of Jessie’s situation yesterday, is seen. We buy off the footage. To Pillbox to ask a doc to check if Miles is being pegged in Bolingbroke. A dubious doctor agrees to go up to the prison. It’s determined to be a yes. Ash calls to say her sister Bree is put back into max sec like a day after getting out by posting bail. Kamacho not outside, stolen? Tracking time with Curtis, Jessie, and Miguel.

Nino and Curtis catch up to the guy who stole the Kamacho. At the sight of Curtis drawing a C2 on him, he pulls over peacefully for a chat. He agrees to pay 1k. Says he stole the truck because he both wanted to and needed to. He turns around to face the Kamacho and admires it.

A stop in MRPD; Nino wants to question about Bree: her bail had been revoked, which is why she was placed back in max sec. But we don’t know why – Stanton won’t say.

The guy from earlier, now with the name Chief, returns the Kamacho nicely washed. He deals in gold and oil, etc. We learn more about Chief and his tribe back home. Nino updates Ash about Bree. Something going on with Reggie. Javier calls that Denzel wants Nino as a lawyer. Let’s do tomorrow.

### **Episode 151 [Jan 2, 2021]**

**Executive Summary: Miles, Ash, and Elena face legal repercussions from their murder of a Tamburlini brother yesterday – seemingly stemming from a bullet casing match identifier – and the cops don’t want to talk so this will go to court. Or not. Odd case. A whole situation with Jessie leads to Nino and Murphy facing Trooper A.J. Hunter in court: determined mistrial by Judge Wesker. More court cases planned, including charges against Hunter for felony obstruction of justice and witness tampering. The current active lawyers of Los Santos corral together.**

Jessie says Miles and Ash may have been arrested. Lawyer for Miles and Ash: the situation is related to the Tamburlini brothers from yesterday. Miles can’t remember where he put his murder weapon. Ash didn’t ditch her weapon either and the PD now has it. She doesn’t want to be raided – the gun used two nights ago she has in her place in Integrity. Ash to be charged with first degree murder x1, attempted 1st degree murder x3, kidnapping x4, and criminal use of explosives. They haven’t determined what to charge Miles with yet. Cops not talking much so we’ll wait for the paperwork and go to court. So what was the reason they were arrested in the first place? Nino speaks with Curtis, Saab, Elena, Jessie, and Lilith. Nino says for everyone to hide their shit and keep their mouths shut. Miles and Ash to learn a lesson; they’re going to get time and we don’t plan to break them out of Bolingbroke.

Nino informs of the new CTO Jacob. Also we want to give him some stuff to sell via the DW. Visit to Bolingbroke. Nino reads that Miles was identified in a lineup earlier as one of the people to attack the Tamburlini brothers. Miles says he was never brought into a lineup. Huh. Maybe a photo lineup? Ash had a mask and glasses on at the time. Nino reads more the warrant, in which the photo lineup has three red circles around the faces of Miles, Ash, and Elena. Wait but Ash at the very least had a mask? Plus how was the lineup created in the first place?? We even masqueraded as the Collins family. And warrant mentions a bullet casing match confirmed to Elena’s gun, the gun they don’t have… Warrant is even dated incorrectly as 2020. Nino gonna do FOIA request, etc. It’s determined names may have actually been spoken during the incident. Jessie to check for warrants. Details still unknown.

Jessie says the PD are actively looking for women in cars – she’s been pulled over twice just recently. Nino suggests to her to record it and note the time. While still on the phone, Nino is “detained” by AJ Hunter and handcuffed. Hunter says he’s looking for Elena. Nino says he’ll go to court for the jaywalking charge and he’s let go. Coyote walks by and clarifies some specifics on warrants. Nino determines we need case law.

A call that a woman Veronica is being harassed as a passenger in a car, not even the driver. Guess who, Hunter. Busted headlight. More talk with Coyote. Murphy arrives! Here’s an idea, if Hunter arrests Elena for ‘basically being a woman,’ something along those lines, we can get Elena free because of the initial arrest reason. Nino and Murphy reason quickly as to what’s best to do. Saab and Curtis join. What if we get Elena caught, cause it’s gonna happen soon enough anyway, and we get the warrant dropped down to an assault with deadly charge. So let’s wait for Hunter to fuck up. Plus, there’s some guy nearby recording. Nino, Saab, Murphy, Crane, Jessie, Lilith, and Curtis talk on a snow-covered roof.

Nino and Murphy enter the cells. Elena: warrant with first degree murder. Nino and Murphy go hard on Hunter, trying to drop the warrant. Hunter’s story keeps changing. Bench trial to follow, if we can get a judge.

Jessie may be able to file a lawsuit. Only Miles seems to have been charged, Ash and Elena were just sent in. Back to the Collins name. Murphy says maybe we can settle this out of court. Some of the group move inside to continue conversation.

Onto Jessie, she has a warrant for “aiding and abetting”. But she can’t be charged of felony obstruction unless Elena is convicted of her charges. To MRPD – Jessie turns herself in. Here we go. Hunter gives her a cell. Charge definition read aloud, “…discovery, apprehension, conviction, or punishment…” But does Hunter have the proof? During this talk in the cells, Hunter admits he didn’t recognize Elena initially. Hunter takes a lunch break and goes off duty. Sergeant Baas shows now.

To court! Baas says AJ Hunter has been admitted to the ICU for a serious head injury. Yelling match ensues before Judge Wesker raises her voice. Hunter shows, he’s alright. Gonna be AJ Hunter vs Jessie with Nino and Murphy. A quick meeting in the back with the judge. Hunter claims conflict of Nino and Murphy with the situation in question. Murphy hits back with obstruction from Hunter and we share a video. Court goes into recess before it even begins. Wesker returns and session called to order. Judge asks for Stanton’s recollection of the events. Another recess. Mistrial called, court adjourned. Hunter immediately handcuffs Jessie again, saying it is for the warrant. Jessie requests a bench trial and lawyer. Hunter sends her into prison. Hunter requests to press contempt of court charges on Murphy. Murphy requests to press felony obstruction of justice charges on Hunter. Talk with Murphy and Lilith outside. To Bolingbroke. Would be nice to have another lawyer.

In the Kamacho with Murphy and Jessie. PN call: guy on other end of line says he knows of the 1.4 million dollar deal with GSF involving an aircraft carrier. Wow, what .4 million dollar deal? Another call, some guy pretending to be Chinese wants money. Another call, this one from a Nigerian prince who needs our help.

Lawyer David Watcher picked up from QF and briefed. Suggests we could do false imprisonment charge on Hunter. Back in the court room. Jacob Slate stands in for a bail hearing for Bree Matthews.

Into lawyer offices: the ADA, a bunch of lawyers (Nino, Murphy, David Watcher, David Theroux), Jessie, and Lilith. Jessie again tells her story. Into court again to listen in on Bree’s case.

Carmella offers herself and Lana for a date. Nino invites his secretaries. Nino questions Judge Wesker about Jessie’s case from earlier. Run over by someone outside. Marks guns that used to be in car as stolen. Date party next to a food truck begins by listening to some new music.

Now with just Jessie, Nino picks up Maia and ?. Maia explains a few days ago she was charged with burglary, but the PD only saw her standing at the door, not inside. She had no stolen belongings on her person. Nino plans to submit a FOIA. Nino calls over Theroux as lawyer backup in case he’s not around.

Theroux sends Nino and Murphy his notes he took from earlier during meeting about Jessie. Apparently, there’s two different versions of Hunter’s report. Interesting. The warrant was altered, and one was deleted. Another rabbit hole! Murphy to check all the differences. Nino finds Hunter removed the witness (Pepperoni?), the guy who recorded the whole thing. Witness tampering ya. Nino updates Theroux on what went down last night with Miles, Ash, and Elena. Lilith shares list from Hal of other people who were robbed by that brother group. Talk on roles in the city, PD, DOJ, etc.

### **Episode 150 [Jan 1, 2021]**

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/857957062 7 35 37

[not collection]

**Executive Summary: Pred is looking into Deadeye’s murder and has Nino’s name along with the Vagos. OTT wants to wear the tainted purple again. A gun drop for Siz is conducted. CTO Jacob is looking into improving our encrypted communications. Sahara International Academy (SIA) takes out a group of NY gangster cab driver Tamburlinis.**

Jessie calls to say she may have killed Elena. Nino watches a box race – which may be how the CG and Angels are ending their war. Angels win. Talk on Lost MC case with Paddy. Original Ballas returning?

Talk with OTT: Pred had questioned him about the death of Deadeye and also mentioned Nino’s full name along with the Vagos. Nino says it’s kinda irrelevant, it’s all hearsay. Also, OTT isn’t comfortable with AJ trying to revigorated the Ballas. OTT goes on a full spiel about the ESB war and such. Nino suggests OTT separate from the Ballas and the cul-de-sac. OTT says he doesn’t plan to, but he does want his colors back. He wants the original Ballas back. Nino says build a new identity – forget the colors. Curtis starts to encourage OTT. Nino sidebars with Curtis and Saab. Back to OTT, we tell him we’ll get back to him later and that he probably shouldn’t wear purple.

Nino, Saab, and Curtis continue their sidebar. Curtis is leaning towards OTT’s side. Nino refers to the past deal during the war that the color purple was not to be used by any in the organization if they lost. We can’t go back on that word now, and also it seems there may not have been full communication back then. Talk on what OTT can do. Eh, CG owns the sac so we’ll just sit on this for now. Lots more talk on OTT, on the drive. Talk moves to C, then the assistants…

Prep for a drop. Car loaded with guns and a change of clothes. To the drop spot for Siz, for which the AIRBASE was somehow scheduled as the spot. Siz and his companion show up without a car – can they walk back with their full order? Nino and Curtis run off to find their clients a car. One acquired. Back at the airbase, Siz also found a car. Since Saab’s car is now in the middle of the lake we use the car we just stole. Nino and Curtis have a little fun berating Saab for the rough drop. Saab is still working on acing thermite. Some time later, Siz pays and also informs that some Vagos are top purchasers of the merchandise, which is interesting as Speedy deals out to his boys. But there could be a reason for this, so we’ll speak to Speedy about it later. Siz wants a percentage of Saab’s businesses for helping him start out a while ago.

[Mehdi podcast time.]

Pulled over. Nevermind. [Back to the podcast.] Call from Leah, she’s been working on the new spreadsheets for the car rental place. Pulled over again, this time by Espinoz for not stopping at a red light. Nino takes his time finding the vehicle registration and his license. Espinoz drops Nino’s registration and Nino requests another officer, to which Espinoz gives 1k for Nino to get a new registration. Warning given but no ticket.

Call from Ash, she asks about the date with Lana. We forgot. At Integrity, looks like Reggie being arrested. Nino records. Nino goes to Legion Square with Ash, Lilith, Jacob, and Intern. Meet with General, leader of the militia. Talk on taking over land. Militia looking to become a legally recognized security firm. Intern given $500 to buy a bike so he doesn’t run on foot anymore. Intern to see if any clients at MRPD. Nino updates Lilith that if she’s interested she’s to be the face of the new Sahara business. Jacob now has 50 VPNs, nice. Jacob warns about Sayeed Mitra’s scanner – he recommends Nino not use email and that he can build something much better. Later, at MRPD looking for occupied cell blocks, Jacob hands a note to Nino about communication ideas: possible voice over VPN, and maybe an encrypted email system and voicemail system as well.

The Tamburlini group, NY gangster brothers, shows aggression. Nino calls over Miles and Ash, tells them to handle the situation, and drives to a safe distance to watch. Hal comes by and says the group was robbing people earlier. Sahara holds up the group and takes back the stuff to give to Hal. Meets a guy named George.

Miles, Ash, and Elena handcuffed the Tamburlinis and poured gasoline around their feet for the burn and explosion. Before they go, they suspect that Nino is Tim Collins, someone listed in the yellow pages as a lawyer, and Nino announced himself as a lawyer to them earlier.

Meet with Sonya. She’s moved properties and now is sourcing stuff, looking for new avenues. Sonya is our AU connect. She has trouble with finding c2s. Coke is out there, somewhere. For oxy, she says Jordan Steele is running a crew. The intern silently walks up and gives Sonya the 20k for earlier. Maybe Sonya to get a drop soon to push to SS.

**Executive Summary: Judge Stanton dubs Nino as mayor of Paleto and “Cluckin’ Drive” is created to push forward the rental car service, which replaces the chicken factory. Javier speaks on his background and interaction with the shadow organization along with the terminal.**

Lawyer for Cedric. Dude gives a crazy story about Baas. Call from the guy who wants to open his Black Hand club. Links with Miles. C left a note at the front of the Sahara office detailing his separation from Sahara.

Nino and Miles request a meeting with Judge Stanton to check on the legal progress for Albany. An option, we can operate out of an already existing property, like Cluckin’ Bell. Wonder what it would take to become mayor. Stanton make a state announcement that Nino is now mayor of Paleto. Kamacho is stolen, we find it. Talk with Vinny about Lost MC and what to do. Saab joins. Talk on the car rental business: Claire’s been claiming it as her own.

To Cluckin’ Bell to announce new mayor position. With Leah as campaign manager, Saab, and Miles, Nino gives a speech proclaiming new jobs to be created. Fastlane and Miles concierge service as partnered. “Cluckin’ Drive” – company to bring insured affordable driving to the people of Los Santos. Make Paleto Great Again = MPGA. Following the announcement, some people line up to interview for a job. Now for security, we could have Steele Security patrol and also the Russians to cover the other time shift. Guy doing our commercial also offers to do tours of Paleto. Nino deliberates, he can probably change the laws up here actually. Let’s annex Sandy Shores. Harmony and the new garage are in Sandy Shores – a partnership there would be valuable. Nino wants a trustable and loyal guy to become major of Sandy Shores, then concede control of the area to Nino. We pull Edward, Black Hand guy, to the side. He agrees, and additionally agrees to keep this op under the radar. Jessie shows just as Miles takes leave. Nino and Leah link about the rental business – she says she can help set up the tracker but is too busy to upkeep day-to-day. Lilith is planned to lead supervisor. Managers should have significant amount of cash and cars. 50k to set it up, Nino agrees.

Talking with Javier, Nino says, “I’m still young. I want something big. Now Los Santos for the longest time, I saw this as one big piece of shit, goldless nugget… However, over time I’ve come to realize it has a lot of opportunity. You know the great thing about third world countries? There is the women, but aside from the women, the big tits and the thick asses…There’s the notion that those at the bottom are always gonna want to climb to the top. And if you give them a chance to do so, they will do so. And when a city is so much in the dumps, the lack of regulation, the lack of a police force that knows what they’re looking for – my man, Los Santos is prime for exploitation. We’re gonna be fucking rich!” Javier is onboard, “I’m ready to exploit the hell out of everybody! We’re gonna have so much power the mayors, the government, the judges, the lawyers – they won’t be able to touch us! And we’re gonna do it right under their noses.”

Nino updates Javier with those associated with Sahara. Reasoning for being a lawyer. Cluckin’ Bell being reformatted into a car rental business – our new front-facing clean line of business to wash money and such. No exports for Cluckin’ Bell meant no incoming money so that business was shut down 4 months ago. Saab joins: he and Javier quell their differences in front of Nino. Talk on putting the business in Javier’s name – or Lilith’s, with Javier as an advisor.

Saab asks for Javier’s background – Javier explains his access in the terminal, “I got a reputation among the people in the terminal, they know who I am, what I can do. And I was put in a situation that was a little bit out of control, as things go. And it was a complete territorial fuck-up, out of my hands, but I was overseeing it. And it required me to temporarily move here to Los Santos to connect up with Señor Nino here. We ran together for a time, before we went our separate ways; we continued to do our own individual business, but we’ve always been connected. That part, maybe we get into as I maybe get to know you a little bit better, or until Nino says we can talk about it. And recently now, because of situations with the Bu7ch3r, and the way that he’s been – hmm, maybe purposely, or maybe single-handedly, working with other people trying to take out the competition in the terminal, Nino and I decided it would probably be better if we came together and relied on each other’s history and friendship to see if we can maybe figure out what’s going on – two heads are better than one.”

Nino has a question for Javier: has he made any contact with anyone in the terminal? Answer is one or two. Nino wants to know what Cassle was up to – in the last few months Turbo gave Cassle a lower-level access to the terminal along with contracts, which Cassle fulfilled. Neither Cassle nor Morpheus informed Nino about this. Then Nino had the conversation with Turbo. Now Nino wants answers. Javier says he’ll look into it.

Roll with Javier, Saab, and Jessie. Meet with Jordan Steele about his security service for Paleto. He agrees with Nino’s proposed payment amount. Another lawyer calls with information on Kat in relation to the Lost MC case – Nino redirected to Crane. Weazel News calls Nino the mayor about a possible terrorist attack soon. Dress up of a woman.

**Executive Summary: Nino’s legal representation is highly coveted. Progress is made working on the Lost MC case. One of the middlemen on the ledger working with the PD? We accidently kill Allen – nah he’s alive. Javier shows his face in the city and says he’s having the same terminal troubles: someone seems to be manipulating from the inside.**

Bunch of phone calls. Bunch of people wanting legal representation. And Abdul about chicken. And AJ about ESB. Nino informs assistants to vet incoming Nino lawyer requests. Eugene is irate because Nino is dropping his case. Boris calls, Nino doesn’t pick up his phone which must be low battery at this point.

At the beach front vacation spot with Curtis, Vinny, and Siz. Talk on Harvey, one of the middlemans listed on the Lost’s ledger. Allen joins with Flippy. More talk on ledger and Harvey. Possibly best to hand over the PDM to someone else besides Allen. We could fake Allen’s death and pass PDM over. Talk on the bikers case.

Nino questions who Allen works for. Vinny gets protective when Nino wants a conversation alone with Allen – he just wants his PDM covered. Allen hesitantly follows Nino and Curtis. Nino asks “why,” to Allen. What’s this CG and Sahara business, where are we now? Allen sighs then begins. He claims he said no lies, yet doesn’t remember his vows to Nino and Sahara. Nino explains the problem of playing both sides to Allen. All the while, the trio ride along the hills and mountains. Suddenly, the Kamacho truck slides off the icy slope and plunges into the water below. Nino and Curtis manage to swim out but Allen gets stuck in the truck – he becomes unconscious. Curtis pulls Allen’s body from the water and the duo make their way to Grandma’s. Nino and Curtis alter their plan to match the events. Nino calls Vinny – whoops, we may have killed Allen by accident. They have Allen pull out one of his cars so they can fake a death scene. Allen, with keys and a car now, speeds away. Is he running? Yup, he was scared. Nino calls and tells Allen to apologize to all the Sahara members and also to Vinny for what he did.

Meet with Boris and Dio. Miles takes position outside in case he’s needed. Nino and Saab take a seat in their office. The Russians have been providing security for the Cluckin’ Bell trucks, yet there have been no exports in the past while. The Russians lost this deal with the drop in business. However, Nino says if Cluckin’ Bell were to go back to operational, the Russians would be re-hired for their services. Dio and Nina stand on either side of Boris. There’s tension between Saab and Dio. Russians offered 20k for security for Fastlane. They don’t take it. 12k 2 weeks to prove their security services – offer taken. Nino calls the Russians peasants and Boris takes offense. All are standing now. They all mark it down to the language barrier. After they depart, talk on the Russians.

Crane wants to start a law firm with himself, Nino, and Murphy. Ghost may have sub ammo – need to figure out the VPN or backdoor.

Teddy wants a lawyer – phone call. Bolingbroke to speak with Gary, a Lost member. More details on the ledger. Types of guns manufactured, amounts, links… Seems Harvey is a problem, guy likes to talk. Crane joins. Talk on how to approach situation. Talk on Kat and Highwayman… Vinny calls up Nino frantically. Mario’s been following Harvey around all day and is pretty certain it looks like Harvey’s working with the PD. Harvey might have pretended to be caught. Oh shit. And Ryan Reed’s husband(?) might be working with the cops as well. Check of the newspaper – Harvey was sent in. Brooke and JP were sent in around the same time, we can talk with them. K and Bobby Brown join. More people join. Still talk on the Lost MC.

Mario, Saab, Curtis, Miles. Mario tells his Harvey story. Harvey and Ryan Parker are sus.

Talk between Nino, Crane, Curtis, Saab, and Miles. Conversation focuses initially on Harvey and Ryan Parker. Suddenly someone is seen peeking through the door. A sound test and the group finds out anyone inside the office space, if standing in certain spots, can hear the conversation on the roof, uh oh. Saab and Miles go to check it out – it’s Wesker with security. Javier calls.

Link with Javier at Sahara office. He has a friend who ran a large operation last week – he knows all the players except for one crew. The navy ship, Dexx’ weed operation. It was apparently headed by Javier. Interesting. The CG one crew, and Nino informs Sahara was the other crew. C2 Gun shots are heard close, everyone runs to check out the commotion. Just some guy stealing a car. Need to change locations though. Javier says he knows the guy, Denzel Williams. He says Denzel was part of the op. Javier and Saab are introduced. Saab explains the past bad blood with Denzel and Curtis along with Eugene. Javier says Denzel owes him a lot of favors.

Nino asks Javier about the terminal. Turbo is working with Morpheus, and requests have been coming in and closing unfulfilled. But we don’t know of them. Javier says it seems there’s somebody on the inside fucking it up for everybody. Maybe it’s the Bu7ch3r guy. Curtis says Turbo informed he wouldn’t be around as often… And from our last conversation with Turbo, since Turbo couldn’t answer what our benefit was, seems Turbo isn’t that high up the ladder.

Javier agrees to his name being on the Albany car rental company.

Lawyer for Blaine, guy obsessed with snowballs.
Talk on oxy, etc. Anto. Hole in runners for AU. More talk, etc.

### **Episode 146 [Dec 28, 2020]**

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/853021488 10 06 47

[not collection]

**Executive Summary: Nino works with Crane on the continuation of the legalities stemming from the Lost MC raid. Turns out Crane is dirtier than we thought, he knows quite a bit. Miles and the women are shown a secret warehouse they can use for operations. Coyote informs Nino’s bar license is in the clear. Nino, Crane, and Murphy, whose bar license was reinstated today, link to discuss status following the Lost's raid.**

Call with Boris. Call with Curtis and the bar review. To MRPD to represent Billy Sprinkles along with Crane. Basically, while PD was raiding the Lost, this Sprinkles guy stole some of the confiscated stuff. Seems PD wasn’t documenting the stuff either. Sprinkles explains he just loves stealing things... Actually the stealing didn’t happen, updated news. [OOC]

Link with Flippy – he spoke with Erin recently. Discussion on how the information of the raid got out and spread so fast. Nino now speaks with Erin. Nino updates Crane on yesterday, about the Lost manufacturing operation exposed and everything else related. Crane says we need details on transactions. Maze calls to say someone just went through Nino’s and Crane’s cars out front. Nino pulls Flippy aside and makes a quick remark about going after the ADA. Flippy says two Lost members haven’t been caught yet: Ryan Parker and Kat Scratch(?). Rudi has been put in. Talk on the ledger – there’s a few different lists out there. Another includes Mario and Flippy. Which one does the PD have? Crane says “Let’s cut the shit” and asks if Flippy has any warehouses. He’s Payne’s personal attorney and knows quite a bit. Interesting, guy’s dirtier than we thought. Nino tells Crane he deals guns – followed by a “jk”. Crane recommends Flippy get his stuff in hidden properties and stay quiet. Rual blatantly texted Flippy about breaking out the Lost – wow. Crane to submit individual writs of habeas corpus for everyone involved currently in prison. If we find something is already on the docket, we should begin working on setting up a bail hearing. We also need FOIAs for the all the warrants.

Meet with Speedy. Talk on the ledger, and Vagos Benji’s name that is on the list. Nino explains the start of the scenario with Reid and Ryan Parker. After Vagos met with Ryan, cops showed soon thereafter – a snitch? Nino recommends Vagos move their assets to safety and keep quiet if caught. Pimp owns the VU, Speedy has access. Talk on what the Lost manufactured and the lost lines. Speedy was surprised with Allen’s name – he thought Allen was completely clean. Gonna think of what gun lines we want right now.

An interaction with Conan and Nino takes evidence for any future clients picked up by Conan.

Flippy says some guy named Tommy has been mentioning Nino’s name. Curtis calls to give his side of the story. Tommy Giganti. Nino looks up the guy’s record: evading, joyriding, and possession of oxy/meth. Chat with Mack. Phone call with Ramee who doesn’t want to hang up. Only a few minutes and we win. Nino shows Mack where his interaction with Conan was earlier and the two talk on how the PD acts.

Ramee tells of the new way to access the dark web. Seems the VPN isn’t working. Nino tells CG the DOJ is trying to take him off the Lost case.

Meet up with Curtis, Flippy, Saab, and Elena. They wanted to hit the bank today but couldn’t find a black card. Miles’ car is undergoing forensics by the PD. Paddy calls and Nino says to stay quiet and plead the 5th. Only patch members had access to the ledger before. Miles joins the group. Talk on the Russians, we see no value. Got bigger shit to deal with. Nino wants to corner the C1 market. We learn the bikers were not the only manufacturers. Elena confirms VPN for dw is broken. Even the backdoor isn’t working.

Curtis and Saab. CG and K looking to maybe corner oxy market. Sahara to make deal with Jordan to continue getting good deals, or whomever is top of the market. We’re already buying pills from CGA Anto. We just want a set price. Next order of business. We can give Miles and Elena access to the same warehouse Speedy occupants – that one can be our associate warehouse. Next, bands with Garage Q. Miles joins. Talk on different hours and who runs what, and what spots are open. Miles does deal some oxy, couple hundred. Saab joins. GSF used to be involved in bands too. Essentially, we want to run our own bands, buy oxy at a set price, and have something for the secretaries to do. Nino decides to show Miles and the women a warehouse. This one is for Miles to help run his operations.

Meet with K and Anto about oxy and Jordan’s legal ownership of the lot. More CG members join. Also talk on black cards – Miles to be middleman between Sahara and Anto. Allies. Money maker is the bands: the bread and butter.

Blaine just wants his snowball back – Nino steps in to speak with the PD Reinhart. At MRPD, Nino chats with a DOC. And some other people. Conversations move to Q.

Two guys, one DA Frank Wesker, want to talk. Nino says the ADA with the red hair is a computer and needs recharging every now and then. The other dude, Cedric Stanfield, says he’s on bail and at a huge risk of going back for hard time. Copperpot had called him, invited him in her car, and took Judge Stanton hostage, then took Bryce hostage, then demanded both lots given to Jordan. Oh, this is actually what happened, oh shit. A judge ok’d the deal with the terrorist group, although he was held at gunpoint. And he never returned ownership of the lot after. Cedric says he was wrong place wrong time. No questioning from PD yet. In turn for Cedric giving a testimony, in which his name will be sealed and he has no need to show to court, he will be let free of charges. Actually, after a look of the report, and a bunch of other chaos seen and what has happened and also not happened, the DA agrees to consider just letting Cedric walk, although he would have liked to have Cedric as a witness. DA gonna take a half hour to quickly talk to some others before he gives a formal decision. Nino realizes Stanton gave the okay for the lots to be given to Jordan – we can approach the case differently now per motivation of arrest. But, main goal is client Cedric and getting him out. The fuck Cedric arrested for. Some more talk. Gonna go with original plan, that Cedric not mentioned much in reports and stuff. More talk. Cedric still on hold.

Nino attends Murphy’s bar review in court. Judge Coyote decides to reinstate Murphy’s bar license.

Coyote pulls Nino aside – Nino’s bar license is in the clear as a complaint was discredited as pertaining to Nino.

DA Wesker offers to drop the case for Cedric but upkeeps the kidnapping charge. Nah. Nino argues against this remaining charge. Since Stanton claimed Cedric had a gun, Cedric kinda fucked. We just want a “not guilty” marking. Cedric was billed prior already for the kidnapping charge. If we do this, we can appeal the charge later and sue.

Link with Crane and Murphy about the Lost raid. Unmarked underground storage facilities being used by clients. The three update each other on status. Rachel returns to the trio. Could say probable cause evaporated by the time the PD entered the compound, depending on what the PD found beforehand, which was a body in Reid’s house. And, it was Reid’s operation, not the MC’s. Even if the argument isn’t perfect, we’re just mitigating the damage.

Call with Dexx. Sun Moon calls to see if Nino wants to partake in the last week of January – buy-in is 15k for a chance at a prize of 10 million dollars. Nino chats with Baas at MRPD while waiting for any new clients: Nino learns a good amount of info revolving around his client Cedric. Active investigation on the DOJ, says Baas. He goes further and even gives the name: Judge Katya. Sounds like Baas is absolutely fed up with the “corrupt DOJ”.

Meet at VU with Dexx and GSF. In the back office, Dexx hands over a black duffel with 400k and some tequila. Payment for that weed mission. Dexx confirms Miles’ place. As Nino leaves with his “exclusive wines,” he spots Cedric and mentions they’ll have to talk later.

Nino picks up Lilith. Talk on Saab’s tests as they cruise around. HOA tavern. DA calls, says Cedric will be getting his money back and will be marking “not guilty” for the kidnapping charge. DA doesn’t see enough evidence and such to pursue with what he’s got.

### **Episode 145 [Dec 27, 2020]**

[not collection]

**Executive Summary: A PD raid of the Lost MC compound leads to the leak of the MC’s ledger containing names of people in the city involved in gun trafficking. Knowledge of a large gun transport reaches Sahara from Siz – sometime soon we may try to hit it. A review of the coke operation. It doesn’t seem like C has what it takes for Sahara. Nino’s bar license comes under review after reports submitted by the DOC.**

Everyone’s trying to get ahold of Nino this morning, wonder what’s going on. Miles is first – the Lost MC is being raided. So? The fuck do we care? Roman/Mask says shit is hitting the fan, the Lost compound was raided and all their books, safes, everything was hit by the PD. A body had been found in Reed’s house. Nino offers his lawyer services. Nino and Curtis show to explain. Curtis says Reed has greatly helped him in the past. Prison transport in progress right now, confirms Mask. The 9s for the Lost. Curtis says he used a heli yesterday to jailbreak with Flippy, Vinny, and Bogorov(?). Time to connect with Allen – he might be fucked. Allen may have been mentioned in the Lost books.

Stanton gave Jordan Steele ownership of the pharmacy (?). Dio is working with HOA. Talk with Curtis on Miles and how much he does for Sahara and how well he handles himself.

ADA Paige calls: someone has just been put in max sec for accessory to serial assault. Pred was the arresting officer and paperwork is done for a 72 hours hold with no written report yet. We could put in a FOIA request but we have bigger problems at the moment.

If we continue working with Allen, we need to draw boundaries. Seems we dodged a bullet with the guy.

**A Catalyst:**

TL;DR: Nino and Murphy work against a ticking clock on a large case involving several people in max sec, the Lost MC raid, and a ledger. Reed Dankleaf and Erin Cox were caught by the PD harvesting human organs on the Lost compound – Reed’s house and the compound were subsequently raided, leading to a finding of the Lost’s ledger which contains names of clients for trafficked weapons. Mask, Erin’s father, offers himself as a wild card for the lawyers.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

The ADA calls back: the woman in max sec is Erin Cox. Wtf?! A DOC calls about Erin Cox. Nino and his new paralegal Curtis head to Bolingbroke. Judge Coyote says Erin’s father is involved. Erin speaks on Reed, who has been harvesting organs to build a second Ryan Parker, and this event lead to the Lost’s raid. Her father is Mask. Nino says she wouldn’t be helping the bikers if she takes the PD’s deal – like, what would she be able to offer on the streets? Plus, whatever she says might be used during the case on Reed. Murphy Braun shows and Nino updates the other lawyer. After a nice talk with Murphy, the lawyers try to reason with Gary and another Lost member. Suddenly, Murphy is told to leave – he’s not recognized a lawyer anymore apparently and cannot be in the max sec area. After some pushback, Murphy agrees to step out. Just as he makes the decision, Mask is seen being led in in handcuffs. Well fuck. Too big a case now to handle alone. Mask says he made a deal – he didn’t tell the PD anything and his only priority is getting his daughter Erin out. Nino’s gonna wait for Mask’s lawyer. Murphy pulls Nino aside to tell of the seizure of the Lost’s ledger. Rachel parker, sister of Ryan Parker, and Zack Fisher. Coyote says the body found in Reed’s home and the Lost’s raid are separate: only relation is search warrant signed by Holden. Turns out Mask put a head in a box to deliver to PD, shot a cop, and kidnapped an ADA to force her to call Coyote. This judge the special prosecutor. Nino and Murphy speak again: Coyote knows what he’s doing. The lawyers speak again to Erin and Mask, both believed to being used by Coyote to get to the Lost. The only tie, says Erin, was that the guy who Erin and Reed picked up for his pancreas was brought to the compound. So it was just circumstance. With a quick turnaround, Mask is suggested to make whatever agreement he can to get Erin out. Mask and Reed may be able to take the hit for everyone. Hm, how to get Coyote off one of these cases? Could create a conflict. But a prosecutor is void from that move. We’re working against the clock, legal representation was needed hours ago. Back to Coyote we go. For the deal, Mask is to give information on the body parts. Max sec was for confidentiality. Then what are they doing down here lol. Nino and Murphy overlook the warrant, which Nino isn’t at all impressed with. Can’t fight the search warrant, though. Nino informs the Lost members in max sec they need a team of lawyers because they’re being attacked with weapons trafficking charges, all because of Reed. Nino doesn’t have the bandwidth for this and requests to speak to Rudi, leader of the MC. The members share information about the ledger: those mentioned are the HOA (“all of them pretty much” / the main ones), Flippy, Mario, Benji, Eugene, Wolfgang, Tony Corleone, Harvey, Jordan, Allen, Siz, etc. Nino and Murphy say to keep their mouths shut. Murphy gonna try to talk to Rudi as soon as he wakes up. One of the guys, Taran(?), says he knows of Nino through Raja. Nino walks out with Coyote.

Allen has been speaking with another lawyer, Kevin Shaw. Nino tells Allen to hide. Unfortunately, Shaw may have a conflict with the case and cannot be a lawyer involved. Nino links with Saab and Curtis to discuss the consequences of the Lost’s raid. A fucking ton of people are on the leaked ledger. What’s up with their bench now? Who in this mess do we care about and should focus on?

Talk on some mission put on by Siz? Siz shows. Nino warns about the ledger and that some info was passed to him that Siz’ name was in the book. Maybe Siz could get someone to pretend to be a coke connect and waltz into the PD. Siz says Miles is giving a lot of bricks to GSF, who likes to double dip. Constraint should be about 5/per drop rather than the 10 or so Miles has been dealing. Curtis to situate with Miles, just to clear up desired parameters. Siz tells of a huge job regarding a transport of guns – 6 crates of 150 lbs/crate. Who’s this guy with the info? Dimitri. 6 groups to be invited with simultaneous action. Not much more info given. Good chance for a lot of backstabbing, this job.

Talk with Saab and Curtis on cocaine and Sahara’s operation: who, what, when, etc. We also need materials. Sub ammo for techies is a question mark, used to be Lost. We can only make rifle and heavy. Also discussion on what to do on our side with the Lost’s bench up in the air. Nino scouts with Saab and Curtis do a pickup. What’s the deal with this coke, what’s the details. What’s exactly our benefit. Maybe could have Miles give coke to the secretaries for tests. Though Miles may be over-subscribed. No reason seen to rid Luther. Maybe Miles given a little, Luther given some, and a third added. Need to get more info from Siz.

Nino informs Flippy’s name is on a released ledger. Flippy shares the list he received from Lucy, treasurer from a while ago. It’s headed “Middle Men” and has the following names: Eugene, HOA, (Need NA-AU), Harvey N., (Need EU-NA), Allen, (Need late EU-NA), Benji. Is there a leak and how current is this list? JP seems to know of the current list. Also, Ramee was asking Saab for heavy ammo – what? Gonna speak with Vinny on this. At the winery, Nino, Saab, and Curtis approach the building while Siz walks out to greet them. Siz is thinking of revitalizing the winery business. Siz explains the coke coverage and game rules he’s been abiding. More talk on the problem of ammo right now. Siz places order for 15 techs.

Miles meets with the trio. C seems to be struggling with his bitch position. Then talk on Miles’ operation with coke. Miles says he only gave 3 bricks, and not 10. So he was doing it correctly all along. Max cap is 5, and good to be given sparingly. And Dexx needs another source if he has another one. A check that Miles isn’t overwhelmed with all his tasks – he says he’s good. After parting with Miles, talk on C.

Meet with Leah. She deals with material gathering for Sahara. News on Violet and the Angels. Talk on Fastlane – Leah the front owner and Saab the shadow owner. News that EMS killed one the Fastlane managers, the guy Saab got a call about a while back. Need some new people. Jessie recommended.

Link with C, who’s trying to figure out his life path. Mentions Allen sold him some bricks. Says he likes Miles, but doesn’t see himself working under Miles, who appears to him as just a glorified driver. He’s been in the city for 2 years and even worked at Cluckin’ Bell in the past. If C can’t work under someone Sahara trusts, it’s not gonna work out. Doesn’t seem C learned much from the batting. He needs to know how to learn, and where he stands. Curtis sums it up to C, “Just because you proved yourself to yourself, doesn’t mean you proved yourself to us.” C you later [Saab’s credit]. It’s only been 3 days of him working under Miles – he disrespected Miles and also Sahara’s judgement. Doesn’t seem like it’s gonna work out for the guy.

Meet with Ant. And Siz. Meet with Miles Angels – er, the secretaries. Talk on some 1k tax or something. Gonna work out a deal with Jordan. Earlier, Novah was shot by Jordan because of some disrespect; then, K and CG shot down Jordan. But all seems fine now. Nino updates Miles on the decision with C. Albany to be put in Javier’s name, with a business transfer in the future sometime. Turns out our secretaries aren’t paid. Let’s fix that.

Coyote calls Nino to the court house. There, 3 judges stand in a half circle. Into the DOJ office. Coyote says there were reports from DOC of Curtis, Nino’s ‘paralegal’ at the time, was taking photos of electrical boxes – the infrastructure - near the vault. Curtis’ public record includes jail breaks. Oh, maybe the photo we took of our vehicle outside for proof if something happens. So anyway since Curtis was introduced as Nino’s paralegal, he was Nino’s responsibility. Curtis was allowed into the secure area and left when he was told to leave. Still gonna go to a bar review. DOC witnessed all this as security and decided to report rather than act. Ha, the DOC even let Murphy, who has no current bar license, into max sec.

Lawyer for Jones(?).

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/848762155 6 44 57

[not collection]

**Executive Summary: Nino spends most his day as a lawyer for Eugene, advocating for his release from a hold which didn’t seem to follow due process. C is given a batting by Elena.**

Attacked by a monkey throwing snowballs at the coffee shop. Nino kidnaps the monkey and radios the boys for a distraction when the PD pulls him over. Talk on C discussion – C doesn’t seem to be taking the demotion well. News that Miguel caught by PD with 15 bricks. And that Eugene has the 9s. Discussion continues, we gave C too much too fast and needs to be put in his place. Call from Dexx, payment to be soon. Curtis comes up with a plan: have Elena beat up C with a bat. Elena has been close to C, she knows him well, so it would be a test for her as well. Nino talks on deceased Dean/DK. C is brought up to the vineyard and Curtis talks to him. Time to learn a lesson of respect: Curtis says, “Beat the shit out of this motherfucker with a bat!” Without like any hesitation, she takes a few swings. Blood stains the white snow and then Elena is instructed to take C to Grandma’s. Talk between Nino, Curtis, and Miles on Albany – can put in Javier’s name for the license.

**Eugene’s Hold:**

TL;DR: Nino works with Tidus Schwinghammer, another lawyer, to advocate for Eugene’s release from Bolingbroke.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

To Bolingbroke to speak to Miguel and others about a past job they did. Names: Mario, DJ, etc. Seems a bit like a setup, but by who? What was the tipoff? Mexican contacts? Also, Eugene is still in Bolingbroke on hold. Casterman says the ADA is in the city. Nino drives to MRPD to represent Eugene and look for a way to get Eugene released. Which judge approved Eugene’s hold? Etc. Long talk. Also mention on an additional warrant for Eugene. Due process didn’t seem to be followed. “Clerical error.” Mack’s paperwork. Nino’s response is to submit a writ of habeas corpus and to file for a FOIA. Nino explains to Judge Stanton all that’s going on. New implementation of a system in which individuals sent in on a 24 hour hold will be able to request an immediate hearing – and the arresting officer will need to give a statement of associated probable cause. However, if no judge is available at the time the current status quo will prevail. Nino suggests adding in a required form to be completed by the officer. Maze joins Nino and Tidus, lawyer talk with Eugene. They get Eugene a bail hearing to get him out on bail.

Reggie seen on court steps. Banter between Nino and Clarkson with Garcia. Inside, Tidus and Nino faces against ADA Ari Preston for Eugene’s bail hearing. Eugene does his part pretending to suffer from amnesia. Bail granted by Stanton for 11 days, but it’s set at a million dollars. If Eugene chooses to not take bail, and instead stays in Bolingbroke, if he is broken out and then caught he goes into max sec. Nino has a plan: Eugene to deny bail, then be kidnapped during transport, a tweet to be made that asks for money in return for Eugene’s return, then evidence needs procured that says if Eugene goes to the PD he’s gonna die. So then we would have a reason. Maze comes over to say all the cops are dead just outside. To Stanton, Eugene denies the bail offer. Now we need someone to kidnap Eugene. Outside, the fallen PD aren’t to be seen. Wtf is happening? Mel and Four Tee and Garage Q come to save the day to kidnap Eugene. Nino goes to MRPD to question why the lack of officers at the courthouse. Garcia skids away in his cop car, yelling he’s gonna find Eugene. Nino makes sure the PD files a missing persons / kidnapped Eugene report.

Garcia comes back and Eugene walks up the steps saying he managed to escape his kidnappers. Into the cells for Eugene. He’s banking on a transport – but there may not be enough cops uh oh. So DOC was shot up, but is that the same situation…? Lots of waiting for the transport to begin.

State announcement made that anyone not showing holiday spirit to be picked up by Mike Block and company. Quick change of clothes to a red outfit. Meet up with Jessie, who has been spending her time learning how to drift with Miles. Barely misses a public execution, darn. Talk with Pooky. Another tweet of another public execution – Nino suggests Pooky to video this one. Miles shows but he’s not dressed in festive gear, might want to change. A prostitute is here too, someone claiming to be Toretti’s 4th cousin.

Nino checks the newspaper: under the recent incarcerations section, Eugene is listed for the 9s. Eugene tells of the failed transport pick up from behind the Bolingbroke windows. CG also in prison.

**Executive Summary: Nino, Curtis, Saab, and Flippy face head-on Dexx’ [mission credit to Afro] operation for smuggling weed onto an aircraft carrier – they are able to rally together following some initial mission confusion, resort to using physical force via a shootout, and complete the job. Due to their long history, Nino consults Saab about running Sahara. C is demoted after an evaluation of his standing.**

Meet with Vinny. Eugene’s in Bolingbroke for the 9s – visit. No luck for Eugene. Prep for Dexx’ mission. Maze calls, he’s looking for something to do.

**Operation: Smoke on the Water:**

TL;DR: Nino, Curtis, Saab, and Flippy initiate the operation to transfer weed product from docks to an aircraft carrier.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Operation “Smoke on the Water” initiated. 1.4 mil product at risk, moving from dock to aircraft carrier, with 3 trips. If successful, 100k payout [I think each?]. Plan is to go as ‘legit’ employees. Shit, we need a boat. Okay, found two. Riding over the waves, another boat pulls up alongside: the coast guard. The crew keep up their story, Homeland Security agents working on a classified top secret operation. Flippy goes overboard and the group take the chance to make distance. Minutes later, they meet up with the crew handing off the product: a hilarious interaction later, including in which apparently all disguises are Homeland Security, they take off with their first trip of joints and Q’s. Nino and Flippy each hold all the product. They sail directly towards the coast guard boat and strike up a friendly conversation. The guy checks their creds, which pass, then says “follow me,” as he revs the motor towards the aircraft carrier. They pull into the dock, along with the coast guard guy, Inside, they meet the captain or whatever of the carrier who wants their creds checked. Harder task this time as they’re requested to name each other rather than themselves. Then the time of day of their births. Finally, they make their first deposit of bags of weed and joints. Seems they’ve gained trust with the crew on the carrier, that’s good. Back into the water!

Wait, did we need the pallets and duffle bags? Is there still shit in the boat? Was there a document detailing all of this? We didn’t get a boat provided either, nor a radio station… confusion. There’s a document we haven’t seen, we review it now. Back to the aircraft carrier, more questioning. Back on the waves to gather the next batch, Nino takes command. Gonna direct the questioning on the boat to Nino, and carry as much as we can while retaining our hardware for the next trips. Tensions are high. Okay, actually we can take this dock boat too. Both boats now head back to the aircraft carrier. There’s some more stuff on the boat we left behind…hopefully the crew didn’t take a look at the contents. Aircraft carrier again. Nino talks up the coast guard guy, the other general guy, and the female security while Curtis, Saab, and Flippy unload the product from the boats as fast as they could. A misfire gunshot and BCSO shows.

The general pulls Nino aside, and says with crossed arms they found joints in the boat that was left behind. He motions for Nino to put his hands up. Chill, Nino says he’ll speak to the boys about this finding. Everyone is brought together – time to shoot up. They head for the top of the carrier to start clearing from above. Shots ring out. Saab goes down by the radar. Nino almost takes too many hits. Flippy’s status? Down. Curtis radios he cleared the top level and was making his way to the next. Nino carries Saab while Curtis carries Flippy to the boats. Nino and Curtis secure the rest of the product to complete the mission. A boat honks, slowing approaching. It’s EMS, she’s shot, no loose ends. Nino and Curtis rush the last few trips of product. Done, off all 4 go! We did it, mission complete!

Evidence that could connect them to the operation is destroyed and they hold a debrief.

Holiday-themed zombies outside, wtf. Santa Claus brought the zombies! Guns, armor. Four Tee joins, it’s safer in numbers.

Nino and Saab begin a call war – neither wants to hang up. Saab wins by default of a car accident. Nino and Saab meet with four members of GSF to debrief the operation.

Nino reaches out to Saab for thoughts due to their long history. “I’m gonna be real with you, Saab, I haven’t known family in a long time. I’ve only known who works for me and who doesn’t. For a long time, it’s [only been business].” But over the last year or so, that has changed… “Maybe it’s the one thing I fear...” Nino tells Saab of the name Ghost, to which Saab replies he’s heard of the name before from Eugene. “I think I’ve just been so used to working a certain way…” Saab may have a secret? Saab overlooks the ocean and sees “peace, calm, and unity” – he says it’s not easy to have a family fall apart. Saab tries really hard to create profound statements. Nino and Saab conclude a family needs time together. Then, Saab says he wants to come clean: an old friend called, someone unexpected: the Bu7ch3r, nah jk, Buddha. Buddha’s back in town! But it’s a secret, right now. Back to talking on Sahara. Is C being brought in too fast? Curtis made a valid point earlier. Miles is radioed to come over.

Saab receives a call, one of his BBC managers Isaiah Smith, tripped on the pavement and passed from the injuries.

Miles shows and explains the dynamic between Curtis and C. Sounds like C’s confidence is through the roof. C’s demoted to secretary assistant and to continue working under Miles. Miles to take over Albany with C on the paperwork.

Meet with C at Harmony, dude asks what he did wrong. Nino updates him. Some chill with Saab and Miles. Thermite testing, Saab gets some. Lawyer for Mike Block. Metzger part of the arrest. Lawyer for Pooky Flowers.

**Executive Summary: Dexx’ mission involving transporting weed is planned for tomorrow.**

Bean Machine, where an insane amount of people hide outside the building to listen in on a date inside of Claire and Mario. Suddenly chaos, everyone runs inside and pulls guns, then shots, then everyone makes a break for it. Into the Kamacho with a few other people to migrate to the southside.

Nino, Saab, and Curtis discuss the Dexx mission, which is probably best for Miles and C to only partake, they decide. Nevermind, new decision: if we partake, and are successful, that’s good marketing for our name. So we’ll be the off-load crew. Schedule may not allow for Nino to join, we’ll see.

Link with Dexx. He says 3 loads, and explains how it’ll go down on the aircraft carrier as well as showing the fake documents and identity cards. Our job would be to offload from a boat onto a cargo plane on the carrier. We then need to ensure the empty pallet is placed back on the boat so it can be reloaded for the next trip. 3 options for action: 1. Convince the workers we’re legit; 2. Go blap blap and take over; and 3. Go stealth. Since this is rushed, the joints will smell. 16k joints/crate. Nino, Curtis, Saab, and Flippy heli to the aircraft carrier to plan. The IDs are only good for masquerading as Homeland Security agents. The group buys their outfits. Following, Flippy gives a quick lesson on thermite.

Nino strikes a deal with Clarkson while checking on active warrants: reduced fines and no jail time if booked by this guy. Also, Denzel is wanted for blowing up Louis with c4. Meet with Speedy. Saab tells that before the LB disbanded, he, Denzel, Ellie, and Kanye kidnapped Lauren Forcer and used c4 on her. This warrant for Denzel is an old warrant – maybe the cops now know something, because this warrant just popped up…

Speedy says clientele wants LMGs and advanced weaponry – though it seems these requests are just for fun rather than a need. Speedy to continue as he is. Talk on Deadeye’s death. After another successful heist, the Angels are getting cocky.

C updates the proposal for the car rental agency has been submitted to Judge Stanton. C’s also collecting materials. We have so much now. Nino takes Clarkson up on his deal and sends both Jack and Flippy over to MRPD. Prank on C that we’re gonna kill him. Then Saab coming soon – prank on Saab time! C plays dead and Elena fake cries. C is paying 800 for bands rather than the lower street price – turns out Saab was just using the 800 number in an example. Never overpay, says Nino.

**Executive Summary: New car, a Canis Kamacho truck. Governor Bryce Miller endorses the car rental company. Lawyer Bill Maze calls from prison and exposes system corruption. Some racing. In representing Novah Walker, Nino has three warrants and a raid dropped. Sahara driving academy for the assistants.**

With C, waiting for Curtis, Miles, Elena, etc. Random guy Flop shows to meeting place and is handcuffed. Flop taken to remote location and made to believe he was about to be executed for “knowing too much”. Haha just a prank bro. Nino purchases a Canis Kamacho truck. Some guy calls and immediately gets on Nino’s bad side. Paint the truck, upgrade the truck, test the truck. Nino, Curtis, Miles, C, Elena. Meet with Speedy and another guy for payment from earlier. Talk on the commercial. Coffee shop.

Meet with Governor Bryce. Elena stands aside, she and Bryce have a prior relationship. Nino promotes the car rentals business and gets Bryce’s endorsement. Now for the name, “R.A.W.” = “Rent-a-Whip” = “W.A.R.” = war vehicles hidden. Also “RAW,” we like raw. Some from chat: “RAW – Pull out of our lot satisfied”; “RAW – Fast and Cheap”; “Keep it Raw, Rent a Whip”; “RAW – Pull out in style”; “If you’re going for a ride, go RAW”; “We’re protected so you don’t have to be. Do it RAW”. To the courthouse. Therapist outside.

Maze calls, he’s in prison for the 9s for witness tempering per Reggie Might and GSF snitch Marcus Johnson/MJ. Wrangler’s case. Same snitch who got Lil’ Erf thrown in for the 9s as well. Maze tells of the scenario that lead to his being in prison: started with Marcus wanting a meet with him and Reggie. Toretti also involved and then also two cadets later who take reports from Maze. Anyway Maze gives more details than this recap right here and he’s now in for the 9s, Reggie’s in on a 24 hour hold, and MJ is walking free. Dexx knew of some of this and Cedric, another family member. Coyote also involved, but his actions in the story don’t match his usual ones… During Maze’s interrogation, all 5 judges were present. Welp.

Listening to what happened to Maze reaffirms Nino’s thoughts on system corruption, “and this is why, ladies and gentlemen, justice is served at the end of a barrel of a gun.” “The entire system’s corrupt.” “If I knew this lawyer a little bit more than I actually do, I’d probably put a hit out on every fucking judge in the goddamn city.”

Maze calls again to talk about an appeal he also had. After this call, Nino updates Curtis, Miles, and C. Meet up with Dexx and question of it all. Talk on MJ and Wrangler. Talk on corruption. Then, talk on GSF upcoming mission/heist involving the aircraft carrier. Sounds pretty cool, but would be a lot of risk for not that much reward. Driving on a mountain, Miles loses to a tree, to Grandma’s now. The boys decide to prank Elena and call her to Grandma’s for help as they were ‘on the run’. She shows, running in and gun at the ready, and Jessie also follows. Soon, Eugene and gang also show.

With Curtis and Saab, Nino talks on Allen and Vinny’s quick change of heart. Another mountain, two more down. Nino radios for help picking Curtis and Saab up.

To Bolingbroke to be a lawyer for cannibal Chuck Colcord, who is in on a 24 hour hold. Because it’s a hold, can not do much to help at the moment. To casino. Talk on corruption/laziness per the PD holds. Guy with a tattooed skull face has a business pitch. Wants to get into food truck, wants investors. 75k to be given to him, operation to be led by Miles, and one week from now this guy is to return the 75k plus interest on top. Wei, the guy who bartended for us a while back, now makes his pitch. Thinks we are involved with cocaine. Up go the guns, up go Wei’s hands, and to the beach! There, Wei talks a mile a minute trying to explain himself – he saw Nino enjoy coke at a party. Conclusion is that this meet never happened. We might reach out to him later though, to move the product. Saab says he’s pissed at the Angels.

Miles tells of a side hustle, moving some blow from Luther, which he gets for 15/brick. Miles explains more. Nino instructs Miles to take a lap around the cemetery while he and Saab discuss. The 20 bricks we’ve been giving to Allen to distribute we can give to Miles, says Nino. Saab drops the info that Luther is our coke guy. Wait wtf, Luther is HOA, so HOA buys from Curtis, then Sahara buys from HOA, then HOA again sells to Sahara? Different HOA for Luther, lone wolf kinda guy says Saab.

Dexx calls, he’s taking the trash out now / taking care of rat MJ. Angels going to try to break Eugene out of a transport to Bolingbroke for the 9s. Race time!News that the Angels managed to do it, good shit. Race again. Crash! Nino takes Saab to Pillbox while Ash takes Jack. Guy from earlier who was given the 75k loan already made 100k, damn.

MRPD to provide lawyer services for Novah. Dan Faily the arresting officer. Involved cops: Richardson, Conan, and AJ. Novah has three warrants the PD plans on completing. She stole a PD AR during a transport; while helping Eugene, she was instructed from a police boat multiple yards away to stop – no reasonable expectation of detainment. Then Richardson, a ride-along, was in a car by himself because apparently Conan and AJ were high. Richardson was the one to initiate the actual detainment, of which everything is based. By the end, Nino has all warrants on Novah dropped and has the potential raid cancelled: she walks free with just a reduced fine. Nino links back with Saab and updates.

Ajax Whitehawk calls about Maze. From “iwooosa” in chat: “If the corruption has no consequences then there is no end to it”.

Miles is pushing ~1k / ~1.5k pills of oxycontin a week through his concierge service. Teaching the girls how to get away in a car. Xenon calls again.

**Executive Summary: Nino and Saab save Jack from auctioning off his house in the cul-de-sac, the assistants are passing their tests, and Nino dives into his lawyer duties.**

GTR today. Talk with Mack at MRPD about Thalia. Jack shows and may be wanted. Nino gives some advice as Jack’s lawyer. PDM with Saab. Test drive of a Porsche. Auction for Jack’s house soon…Jack was forced into the auction, which will mark Jack for dead by CG if it goes through… Nino and Saab dress into exterminator outfits, call Miles to act as a government inspector to call off the auction, and call Lilith to hype the smell. Wtf someone offered 800k already?! Nah, he hasn’t sold it yet. Nino, Saab, and Miles put on a show at Jack’s house to save Jack. Later, Jack shows off his new crew, more cookies.

Guy named Lenny calls to learn about Sahara International plane flights. We don’t have any of those. He may be a good addition to the commercial and Nino directs him to Curtis, lead on that project. Nino calls up K to update on Jack’s house and Lil’ Erf. Talk with Lilith, Sahara draws out the new request for her. She had also brought coke and oxy from the last ask – and pistols. So Lilith, Jessie, and Elena have been doing well in their tests. Saab tells of being caught during the street races last night to Nino and Miles.

MRPD to be a lawyer for ?. At Garage T, Lenny showcases a song to Nino then ‘runs him over,’ prompting a visit to Pillbox. Peanut(?) enlisted in a bank to investigate Lenny. A Lea/Leah(?) calls about wanting a lawyer for an upcoming civil case. Xenon(?), a junior attorney, calls and asks if he can shadow Nino. Sure. Jack calls that someone has made an offer for his house, involves a roll. Lea/Leah(?) gives her story. 3rd person caller Lenny calls to apologize for running him over earlier. Jack calls again, he lost the roll for 100k and then rolled again then doubled down and kept losing essentially so has decided to now put down the dice. At Pillbox for Lea/Leah to check on her alcoholism. Junior/Xenon to stay with her. In front of MRPD are a few women claiming to be reviewers – Jack called up to work on marketing for his agency.

Some guy calls, says he’s being sued for 2.5 mil. He had tweeted out he was offering that amount as part of a scavenger hunt. The guy suing won the event. Though, it wasn’t this guy’s event, it was someone else’s. Car with Miles. Carmen calls, she’s thinking of Nino. Call from Lenny, wants to talk on business: music for Sahara.

**Executive Summary: Nino, C, and Jessie pimp out a woman Maia, who is offering companion/escort services. Senior Attorney Crane hears of Dexx’ case and updates on a case Nino is to shadow Crane regarding a schizophrenic murderer client. The decision is made, for the moment, to not put down Allen but instead just limit his access within Sahara. Some drive-by consulting for Jack’s Tough Cookie Security agency. Lawyer for Reggie Might then Mike Block.**

Day started with some coke. Lawyer for a guy named Peanut. Vinny is good with Allen now? Review of the business proposal for SouthsideRentalRides, car agency for rentals. Meet with C to discuss.

Someone named Maia requests to meet to write up a contract for her companionship business as she’s usually picked up as a hostage. Nino enlists her services to pretend to be in love with C for 2 hours. C and Jessie Jugg join. Soon, C realizes something is up and becomes quite uncomfortable as he has a fiancé, trying to distance himself from Maia. He’s forced into his house with her while Nino and Jessie stay in the car outside. After a few minutes, the two exit the house and Nino questions the experience then reveals she’s an escort. Later, Calogero pulls Nino aside, “I’m the most loyal person you’ll find. If you need something dealt with, I will deal with it. That [he motions to Maia] is not something I will do. If you want me to kill somebody, I’ll kill them. I will not fuck somebody with my fiancé in my mind, especially not in my house.” Melony Rodgers is his fiancé. Back inside the store, C chooses the direction for Maia’s new clothing to up her business. Phone call from Boris, wants to talk. Plan to talk tomorrow. With a new look for Maia, the group takes her to talk to some doctors outside Pillbox. Doesn’t work, but close. Next target is Toretti at MRPD. Close again, but does get his number. Witness to Bobby being run over. Cocaine shared in the car, everybody partakes except Jessie. Toretti seen again, Maia manages to help herself to the passenger seat. We hear Jessie laugh for the first time.

C says Bryce sells SNS pistols, and there’s bad blood between him and Bryce – essentially, he has dirt on him. Nino and C plan to stay on friendly terms for now.

Back to pimping Maia, she’s now at MRPD trying for Crane. Big case to discuss with Crane. Elena, Curtis’ assistant, invited. Nino, C, Jessie, and Elena follow Crane into his office. Nino gives a quick lawyer spiel followed by asking for advice on the Dexx case and how to proceed. Saab joins. Crane then gives a recap of another case, the one Coyote wants Nino to shadow Crane. This one involves a schizophrenic murderer, Kay Os(spelling?). She just turned herself in, which seems just a bit too perfect. Nino and Crane discuss the arguments. A knife found on her person with the blood of the victims and the initials “KO” are the only ties for her to the murders. Her statements taken at the time are going to be thrown out in court, as she’s determined insane and also seems to be stuck at 10 or 11 years old mentally – though pending report. Talk moves to actions, what to do, how to approach. Have to be careful with this, the order and the who. The argument for insanity can be brought up as a follow if needed. Other side seeking death penalty. Saul Guchiman(spelling?), who Crane considers calling ‘Jimmy’, also shadowing Crane on this case.

Nino and Saab talk on vetting the assistants. Decision right now is to keep Allen in the know, but not too deep. We should be shooting Allen in the head, but it’s Allen… Let’s see where it goes… Coyote calls, he has another case that might be of interest – an individual is being sued regarding their business.

Vinny, Ramee, Randy, and Taco show to meet Nino and Saab. Nino and Vinny talk how much Allen knows. Allen wants something more, wants to get in more dirt. Vinny plans to take back some permissions he allowed Allen and also look for another PDM owner.

A paranoid Jack/Cookie seen at a bank. C updates on the assistant vetting – both Elena and Jessie show promise. Drive by consulting, basically offering business advice and assistance delivered from a drive by form. For free for today, investing. First customer is Jack/Cookie. Work on improving Jack’s security service, Tough Cookie Security. Plan to attack a victim ourselves to get a good review for Jack. The good reviews rake in. Maybe BBC can find a spot for Jack’s business.

Mike Block misunderstands Nino’s advice to get an alibi: he’s about to decapitate Andi. Reckless client about to do something, we need to stop it as his lawyer. Help enlisted from HOA. A random Sun Moon! He joins. While marketing his bar license, “Everyone’s got their problems with each other, one time or another, sometimes they go to war with another, but there’s always one constant in this fucking city: and that’s the fucking cops are fucking cunts.” Sun Moon says he’s planning for a 10 million dollar race, rather than just the 1 million!

Lawyer for Reggie Might. GSF has a CI in their midst… Then lawyer for Mike Block. Talk on warrants, etc., long time in the cells. For Mike, a technicality that would be very particular to argue in court. About GSF’s snitch, would risk bar license if we told Dexx – would it be worth it?

To Harmony to chill with the racers.

**Executive Summary: With the ESB war winding down, Nino investigates why his name traveled. He also uses his services as a lawyer. There’s talk on some business ideas, like GSF Dexx’ aircraft carrier transport idea, Mr. K’s mixtape idea, and the car rentals company. A drop for Siz.**

Beamer today. Meet with Curtis and Vinny. Curtis shot up some cops earlier and may need to stay hidden. Talk on what to do about Allen. Senior Officer Toretti calls, Claire is in need of a lawyer; he also checks Curtis’ name in the MDT per Nino’s request – yes, Curtis wanted for attempted murder and resisting, submitted by Kyle Pred. Kiki Chanel calls and asks about a promotion for working at Cluckin’ Bell. She’s given a multiple thousand dollar bonus instead. Miguel and Mike join, both in dark gear. Miguel wanted too. At MRPD, Claire is seen being put in an ambulance for Pillbox – something to do with Pred down in the cells. Nino speaks about the arrest of Claire with Toretti in Pillbox. After some back and forth, Claire answers a question in a way she shouldn’t have and Nino promptly drops her as a client.

Up in Sandy, that overlook spot, back with the boys. JJ, Curtis, and Saab. Nino updates on the ESB war and Deadeye’s fate. Talk on who spread Nino’s name related to the death. Cheddar calls, they plan a meet. Payne calls, wants to meet. Taco calls, wants his car. Flippy calls to say Cheddar’s been talking about Nino. Curtis says Miles just called to say Dexx is currently at war with ESB, now lead by OTT. Nino calls Dexx and confirms the story. Nino calls OTT, who says that while he’s at war with GSF, he has no intention on reviving ESB – rather, Dexx is just causing mayhem. OTT confirms he and two others witnessed Deadeye’s death. Though he doesn’t know why Cheddar’s talking and wants to meet. Nino tells the boys of the new business plan for renter cars.

Meet with OTT. Explains he told Cheddar about Deadeye’s death because he felt it was right due to Cheddar’s close relationship with the guy. Nino says be careful with giving out names, could hurt reputation. OTT says he’s willing to kill Cheddar. Nino suggests now is the time to build, not continue war. The real enemy is the one with the red and blue lights. Let Cheddar grieve. Business opportunity soon maybe for OTT and his crew – the car rental company.

Meet with Cheddar, a dude who looks like a lady. Cheddar begins explaining and describes himself a s a low-level thug. He’s willing to listen to Nino in order to not die. Cheddar mentions Eugene’s name.

Talk with the boys on Allen, what to do with the guy? Meet with Dexx, talk on his weed business idea with the aircraft carrier. Dexx has a lot of cargo he wants to move, would need multiple warehouses. We don’t have the space. Dexx has the trucks and looks like Tony or Ramee flying. Cargo bobs and Emperers. He’s still waiting on his people to get clearance, if by the 20th still no clearance he’s gonna do boats. Plan right now is the 23rd. More talk on space. Concern of the amount of people and opinions involved, Sahara wants an exact expectation of what is requested, then we can maybe do it.

At T, Mark tells of the situation earlier with Miguel and the PD. Randy, Saab, Jessie, etc. join. Nino says he can submit a FOIA. To MRPD with a full legal team to discuss Mike with Toretti.

Talk with C and Jessie with the rental car business. Talk with Curtis and Saab about Allen. Talk with K and Taco about his mixtape business idea. Involvement of coke. Prep for drop of guns to Siz.

### **Episode 137 [Dec 17, 2020]**

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/840808708

[not collection]

**Executive Summary: A new rental business for war cars is set up in C’s name. Allen has his hands in both the CG and Sahara cookie jars – playing both sides now backfires. But what to do with well-meaning Allen? A loyal Deadeye meets his end. Nino’s name starts spreading around the city in association with the death and a few reach out to warn him. After communicating to Ghost in a dark web chat room, Nino and Ghost meet on a mountain to talk on the future after some changes.**

F40, colors it yellow. Coffee place. Crashes just a few times, getting rid of harness. Crash that ends in a downed Nino. Quality service from doctor who gives drugs. Call with C. Tuner shop with Tommy and Claire to get rid of this annoying harness. Someone calls for a lawyer.

Talk on possible business for offering pre-set war cars for rentals. Omg they’re actually doing it. To the old Fastlane spot / Albany, Nino speaks to Stanton about buying the lot. C going to be the paperwork/face guy and Claire the enforcer. Stanton asks for a bunch of info which C and Claire will work on. Business gonna run on word of mouth – if anyone who rents gets caught, we gotta reprimand. This business may not last long but there’s good opportunity for money. More talk, like on package deals to offer, insurance options, etc. Also could have a program for people to put their cars up for rent.

Offer from Judge Coyote to attend an upcoming murder trial with DA Crane for client Kay Os(?).

Meets with Vinny and Ramee. Subject is Allen. Nino says Allen has been working with Sahara for a while, only recently blooded in. Allen had even struck the final blows to Sonya. Nino tells of how he learned about Allen’s middle ground. Vinny says he treated Allen well. Communication gap discussion. So, apparently Allen knew a lot about CG operations, quote “everything”. And he has a hand in so much around the city, PDM, running heavies, running thermite, running coke bricks, collecting materials…on and on. Allen’s stepping on Vinny’s toes. Allen’s been involved in quite a bit in Sahara too. Vinny definitely feels betrayed by Allen. Nino gives the puppy story. Will Allen’s life with Sahara start with this story and end with this story? Nino, Vinny, and Ramee consider what to do, Allen doesn’t seem to be doing anything malicious on purpose, nice kid, but still…

Talk moves onto ESB. Deadeye still wants to keep the gang alive. Sonya was in the meeting as well. Seems it’s only Deadeye though. Mona is married to Jack? The virus of ESB continues, they’re not wiped yet. Deadeye call, he wants to meet. It’s a half hour until the 6 o’clock deadline – when if anyone still identifies as ESB, they’re going down.

Random Speedy meet on the road, let’s talk. Speedy’s car is a Project Juan. Nino updates Speedy Deadeye wants to reform ESB. Speedy to offer backup for Nino’s meeting with Deadeye. Speedy calls up 3 of his boys and have them fully strap with C2s. Instructions are if Deadeye shoots Nino or if Nino gives the signal, Deadeye to be gunned down.

Ghost calls. Still need to join that DW chat room.

Meeting with Deadeye. He says he’s loyal, and can’t see himself leaving ESB. Although he’s been away during the recent fighting, he’s heard of what has gone down. Actually he hasn’t, he doesn’t know anything. Nino takes the time to explain the war. Mid-story, OTT calls to let Nino know Deadeye is a little confused. Deadeye understands the wrong, but still believes the east side can be rebuilt with him as the new leader. Deadeye asks for a favor – “if you’re going to eradicate and get rid of the east side, start with me”. Deadeye places a heavy pistol on the ground near Nino’s feet then takes a few steps back. Nino slowly picks up the weapon and questions it. “Cause I won’t stop.” Nino takes off his glasses, signaling the Vagos. Let’s not get our hands dirty. Bullets fly and Deadeye drops to the ground. After everything settles, Nino radios to Speedy to get rid of the body and swiftly makes his exit. A black Mercedes or similar was seen leaving the loc soon after.

Meet with K, Vinny, Ramee, and Novah. OTT had called them pleading for them to reason with Nino. Nino informs of what just happened with Deadeye. Talk on ESB’s situation now and who still is in. Novah creates a long list of associated persons in ESB.

Nino calls up Miles. Driver is updated and is told to be ready should any clapback come to Nino. Talks on new car rental business. Dexx calls. An unhappy Cheddar calls, he was a best friend of Deadeye.

Humane Labs for a chat. Flippy out of the ESB war, Nino questions why. Siz out as well? Flippy says that although they’re not in the war, he will join in if Nino suggests him to – due to his respect for Nino. Siz arrives and immediately bickering begins between Flippy and Siz which only ends when Nino yells out he killed Deadeye. The duo don’t find it good Cheddar is unhappy. Siz says HOA stepped out of the war because there wasn’t much in it for them plus they’re in a new war with the Bondi Boys. Random dude calls to say word on the street is that Nino killed Deadeye. He learned this from another guy who heard it from OTT and/or Jack. Siz says he’ll join back in the war if Nino says so. More talk on ESB. List from Novah to be given to Siz and Flippy. Meeting ends with a fist fight between Flippy and Siz – Siz goes down. Nino enjoys some coke before dragging Siz into Flippy’s car for Grandma’s.

Gomer calls that Nino’s name is going around with Deadeye’s. OTT maybe spreading the information. Talk on Sonya. Everyone here seems to be on good terms.

Vinny calls, OTT and Jack were apparently overlooking the scene with Deadeye.

Meet with Dexx and GSF. Talk on planning for cargo movement. Talk on ESB.

**The Ghost:**

TL;DR: Nino links up with Ghost via the dark web and they meet on a mountain to talk.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino connects to Mor for the dark web chat room. Identifier: mufasa. He finds a chat hub with “Watchers”. One user chats the most, “Dust”. Dust posted some code. A translate later: “We hope this message finds you well. My superior requested to inform you of secure contacts located here. If you need contact with him, you can message me (Dust) or Silver.” Nino encodes “I am in” and enters it in the chat. Seconds later, a new message from Dust: “Wonderful. Ghost is available to speak with if needed. Would you like for me to ask him to contact you?” Nino replies yes. Ghost soon calls. Plan to meet at observatory.

Miles has a good business going. Next Nino meets with Ghost, who says most in the city actually know who he is, but not that he’s Ghost. Talk on war. Nino confirms his involvement in Deadeye’s demise. A line had to be drawn. Sloppy death, Nino says, but “far too long have I hidden inside the tower, far too long”. Shouldn’t be any problems with the police though. “I’ve got a family to protect now, Ghost, and they mean quite a bit to me. And if it means I have to walk out of that shroud, in order to put a bullet in someone’s head, I’m gonna take the option, each and every time.” Ghost offers his resources. Nino requests a breach of military aircraft electrical devices and their communications in the near future. Hunger Games plan. Ghost says they’ve already compromised the military, easy job ahead. Ghost has a question about reckless Payne – a liability.

Then, Ghost references a Madame Widow: Raja made a deal in the past with her and Ghost oversaw the involvement. Ghost says his time clock for Los Santos is ticking – if Madame Widow finds him, he’s done for. Wonder what went down. “Insubordination” is the vague answer, she had requested an unfortunate deal Ghost couldn’t accept. The tools Raja had were taken back, and they are no longer in Ghost’s/Widows(?) control. Ghost says even now, on the mountain, he and Nino are being watched. Nino: “With every chapter that closes a new one opens. You never know what the future has to offer. The only thing that remains consistent are our friends, our families, and the knowledge and skills that you have acquired over the years. Everyone and everything has a place. And if that place changes for you, maybe there is another one, another door that can be opened.”

Ghost says “as a kid growing up within this organization, I was always told one phrase…and as dark of a phrase as it is, I found some peace within it: memento mori”. Ghost says he looks forward to more details and for Nino to stay safe before walking back up the mountain.

PN call, Cheddar immediately announces himself and says it was strongly suggested he call Nino to speak. Will have more time tomorrow.

Siz and HOA to deal with OTT. Nino requests they persuade OTT to allow question into the validity of what he’s been saying about Nino concerning Deadeye. Miles says Cookie Jack is now out of ESB now. MRPD to see if anyone wants a lawyer; Claire’s outside.

Nino helps some woman named Winter who wants to expunge her record. Nino suggests against it, and as she wants to become a lawyer, says she can shadow him and Miles for the rest of the day. Jessie, temporary secretary, joins and Miles takes out a 4 door. Secretary hunger games to be held soon. Some dude Nathan tweets they want a lawyer, over to MRPD we go. Nathan wants a company and told to write up a proposal and send to Jessie. Some commotion outside, lawyer competition. One client is Dio, he easily tells he killed a guy and asks for advice in the middle of the road. Miles informs Dio and Johnny did not get along and had major problems. We learn more of Jessie’s backstory. She seems a good match for secretary. Witnesses for a shooting at a gas station.

### **Episode 135 [Dec 15, 2020]**

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/838531974

[not collection]

**Executive Summary: OTT is kidnapped and again given the message it’s in his best interest to cut ties with ESB. Vinny learns that Allen pledged to the Sahara family and doesn’t take the news well. If there is missing trust between Allen and Vinny, even if not intended, perhaps there may be missing trust between Allen and Sahara? Is Allen deeper with CG than first thought? Sahara enters into a business agreement with GSF. Sonya and Nino discuss the past, present, and future. Coke drop with Siz. Car repo law discussion with Mr. K and company. Preparation for more weapon drops.**

S15 to start. Pillbox visit. Jaywalkers. Eugene. Meets Curtis, who says we need to do a drop for Vinny today. Not much reason to fear Bu7ch3r at the moment because the guy doesn’t seem to pose much a threat, dude’s been an idle threat for over a year now. Terminal access to be acquired for the boys. Allen joins, along with Miles. Talk on Bazaar and the purpose. Talk on weed, who tf’s running this right now? Let’s test weed. We can get in the drug game, and not just weed…

Prep for drop for Vinny. Turns out they chose a radio station already in use by the bikers, but quick fix. Saab joins. Talk again returns to terminal and the lack of a visible threat from Bu7ch3r. And lack of visible power of shadow organization. We manufacture our own shit, what’s the use and benefit, even monetary? Need a middle ground. Bu7ch3r is “boogeyman”. “Lot of talk, not a lot of bite.”

Calogero, known to some as “C”, mentioned several times by Nino as a possible guy to bring in for Sahara, maybe aimed at the clean cover. Plan to kidnap OTT, gotta talk. They kidnap OTT and take him to the vineyard. Vinny joins. OTT speaks on his predicament. Nino explains OTT was being backstabbed by Tyrone. OTT given same message as before.

Uh oh, Vinny does not seem happy Allen pledged to Sahara. Talk with Curtis and Saab about what OTT is likely and willing to do. Some time later, where’s Allen? Hell, where’s Vinny? Both are radio silent and don’t answer their phones. Re-group with Curtis, Saab, and Miles. Allen returns! He says he was shot by Vinny, who seemed upset Allen was hiding information from him. Vinny figured Allen knew more than he was telling. Allen tells his Sahara family he runs weapons for Vinny. Everyone has a good laugh, we sell weapons to Vinny, who gives them around to Allen, and Allen distributes – full circle. Wait a minute, Vinny’s approach implies Vinny figured Allen worked for him. Vinny nor Allen are impeccable communicators so there’s that. In Allen’s eyes, he’s been helping Vinny with odds and ends as a friend. Well Vinny apparently has been thinking the help from Allen has been for CG. Ha. Nino decides to just call Vinny. No answer. WAR WITH CG! Nah jk. Allen got in too deep with CG and didn’t realize. So, if there is missing trust between Allen and Vinny, does that mean there may be missing trust between Allen and Sahara?

Saab becomes alpha during a exchange of cards or something with Claire and ?. Alex, Cassie, and Violet join. Later: we’re the connect for coke from Siz, Curtis says. We then give it to Luther and Allen. Luther then hooks up Miles, who doesn’t know of Sahara’s involvement.

Meet with GSF and Dexx. Talk on the SS. Dexx makes the case for his gang and a business idea: he’s thought things through. Zee, docks, weed, products, etc. Deliveries/shipments daily. Nino smokes, listening. Mercenary shit, Sahara can cover. For Dexx’ drivers request, Sahara can link into Miles driving business for truck drivers. Calogero would be a good fit for this, to work with Miles. Talk on transportation options – submarines don’t have much space, planes would be pretty cool. GSF looking to take the spot known as Prune Street.

Nino meets with Sonya, affiliated to ESB. Nino first gives a quick rundown of the whole OTT and Tyrone ordeal. Sonya says she knew ESB made a mistake when they kidnapped Nino. Although that wasn’t exactly when the situation escalated with Nino, she does see what’s going on. Sonya admits Tyrone was one of the few who made her feel welcome in the city. Besides Tyrone, she has no allegiance towards ESB. Nino says he had plans for Sonya, way back when. They each smoke, then part peacefully.

Meeting with Siz and Curtis now. Curtis pitches the idea that Siz portray a Mongolian stripper so he can get out of trouble with the bikers. Otto is confirmed in the coke business. Curtis and Siz discuss the coke business and numbers to stay on the same page.

Saab, Fiona, and Miguel. Talk on ESB. Call from Allen, he’s with his girlfriend Izzy about a bout with Eugene – he does want to say a few words with Nino because of earlier though.

Nino attends a church service put on by Siz. During, he makes a confession and Siz sneakily hands over 40 bricks and 50 baggies of cocaine. Saab next goes to the altar to make a confession, but turns out he forgot the money for the coke…anyway guess Siz will get it later. They drive off and the coke is deposited safely in a warehouse, all 39 bricks. Totally not missing one. Nino pulls the money (I think from the chicken factory account, I’m not paying much attention right now I apologize) and the duo meet up again with Siz for the payoff.

Much needed meet with Allen. Part 2. Will he elect to leave Sahara? Allen starts from the beginning of his story. Clean for Vinny. Offered CGA, but not CG. Eventually hung out more with Sahara boys. Allen then says he puts Sahara in a higher rank and priority for him than CG and Vinny. Although he prefers no conflict with CG, he claims to put Sahara on a higher pedestal. Nino questions Vinny’s reaction – Allen doesn’t have an answer. Nino says Allen should have talked with Vinny about all this, and much sooner.

An excited Saab took drugs and found at the VU. Nino gets him some coffee then tells of his black book. Talk on Allen. Back to the VU and Jessie outside at a taco truck. Nino sets her and Saab up and then watches the awkward conversation that ensues. Then Saab turns her down?!

Mr. K has car repo issues and requests Nino’s law services. Sounds similar to Dexx’ case – Nino tells the story. After a visit to MRPD and speaking with a PD-apathetic officer Chet, Nino and Saab inform Mr. K of the Allen vs. Vinny predicament. Update also on the ultimatum given to OTT. Talk on this new repo law and its problems.

Nino and Saab check out the new inventory in the cave – Curtis manufactured these hours prior. Saab has a mission idea that involves a garbage truck – using dumpsters to transfer hardware. Gonna need fake garbage company IDs and licenses.

### **Episode 134 [Dec 14, 2020]**

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/837415059

[not collection]

**Executive Summary: This guy Turbo seems to know a lot more than originally thought…he soon finds himself in a trunk then in a meeting with Nino. Nino severs his shadow organization hold as the sole representation for the location of Los Santos – this opens the door for others, especially Bu7ch3r, a determined member looking to take over. And there’s some new guy in the mix as well: “Curator”. Nino plans on participating in contracts himself, raising the stakes. Sahara joins the Black Hand, an organization set on becoming an underground collective, so we’ll see how that goes.**

In the GTR pits Vinny and Novah and they launch into the air. Meets with JJ, Curtis, and Vinny. Vinny’s lingo: 9-iron = Tec-9; wood = Draco; driver = AK. Vinny says he’s brought Randy into the fold for pushing his portion of guns. Talk on OTT and ESB. Talk on Miles – the driver has been working with a guy named James who was robbed 17 days ago by OTT with an AK – and OTT has been saying he’s not robbing anybody. Something doesn’t add up, says Nino, with what OTT has been claiming. Vinny says OTT’s loyalty to ESB runs very deep. Possibility for OTT: leave ESB, take your crew, and go to war against Tyrone/ESB. Vinny and JJ say nah no way this would happen. Saab and Novah join. More thoughts shared on OTT’s tether and Tyrone’s mess. Plan: anybody in the city to pick OTT up. Lean Street is now named Skittle Street.

Carmella getting too close for Saab’s comfort. Nino gives recommendations and tries to get him a new woman. Curtis walks over, nervous laughing – says he was just on the phone with Turbo and mentioned the name “Butcher”, which prompted a good deal of questions from the other end of the line. Nino starts berating Curtis as to why he brought up the name in the first place and JJ keeps trying to get a word in. Rewind, JJ says, Turbo knows about Butcher and has been supplying missions to JJ and Curtis while Nino was overseas. Turbo has been working with someone known as “Curator”. Nino paces as JJ and Curtis take turns making their case. Nino now paces with gun drawn. “So where the fuck is Turbo?! We’ve gotta kill him!” Saab quickly walks over when Nino takes some shots. Turns out Saab knows Turbo too! All three now back up Turbo and argue not to kill him. And the existence of the terminal is known – the Curator contacts others in the city through it.

An anonymous call told Saab to go to the lighthouse alone – there is a gift waiting. Saab heads out first. Nino, JJ, and Curtis follow closely behind…until there’s a distraction of a motorcycle. Saab informs about a Jackie – a woman he killed, years ago… The trio arrive as backup and listen to Saab’s hidden radio signals to make sure he’s okay. Saab says it was a prank call or something, he just found a note that just read, “why do you kill women?” Uh. Meet up with Saab again. Saab tells of when he was thought to have killed Jackie – Otto, LB, etc. More talk on Carmella.

Now onto talk on Turbo. First, WetWorks. Trafficked out of the city an entire crate of meth – multi-million dollar deal. International trade network of business tycoons with corporate entity shells: embezzlement of money. Nino says his involvement is for Los Santos. He further explains the terminal and how he worked within the network. He gives the names of a few other handlers and also explains the contracts. Now onto Butcher: low-key one of our biggest enemies. Basically this conversation is what we already know, just an update for the boys. However, what is new is Turbo and what he’s been doing lately…seems he has a line of conversation with the network… JJ says Turbo works with Curator. Two current contracts via Turbo per Curator: one almost complete and the other involves a vault heist, the second to be delivered Monday. Turbo says the quicker the contracts are completed, the easier to keep everyone’s dreams alive. Curtis thinks Turbo may be a neutral party. JJ to set a meet with Turbo and Nino.

Call from Edward, going to meet regarding the Black Hand, an organization attempting to bring the heads of different families in LS together for the purpose of a collective. Round tables for the criminal underworld like this have been attempted in the past, so we’ll see how it goes. A quick tour and some coke later, Edward explains his idea and membership details. He wants it to be a neutral place for those to discuss business without worry of being shot etc., essentially. Only for the select few. Nino questions the vetting process and figures out what this guy is willing to tell him. What does he know about Nino? “Well you’re a man of business,” is met with a prompt, “Grab this guy” from Nino. Up go the guns and Edward’s hands. Nino continues questioning, “what has been said about me?” Edward drops more information, “investor,” etc. What kind of problems does this guy think Nino needs solving? Talk on ambition, etc. 75k to be given to Edward, but Sahara to keep a close eye. Who else is he planning to bring into the fold? He was quick earlier to note Eddie Marshall and his son.

Talk on Calogero – Nino wants him more involved.

**Turbo’s Introduction:**

TL;DR: Nino meets with Turbo, the man taking care of business in Los Santos while Nino was overseas.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

The crew ‘kidnaps’ Turbo and heads to a remote location. Turbo isn’t keen on spilling the beans about the terminal in front of the boys – he’d rather keep it just between himself and Nino. The bearded man, in all black with sunglasses, gloves, and a hat to match, asks, “Why are you fucking all this up?” Hm. The name Bu7ch3r came up in conversation with Curtis earlier, he confirms, then calls Nino Matador. Turbo turns the tables – how did Curtis know the name. Operations have changed. Turbo says the boys are not using Terminal 33, at the moment anyway, but rather are working with someone known as the “Curator”. Claims he doesn’t know about this new guy, but that this guy works for “M”. Turbo also works for “M”. “M” is Morpheus. Turbo has worked on moving product, moving keys, disposing bodies… (references to DK, etc.) “You do good work with a bat there, Matador,” he says. Keymaster. Deliveryman of weapons at times. With Nino overseas for the past few months, “business had to keep moving, business is still ongoing. The reason I’m back in this damn city because of that. I was tapped to act as a bit of a facilitator of contract work.” Contracts don’t come from Morpheus anymore. And Nino isn’t alone as representation for Los Santos either… We already know that. Several contracts given to both JJ and Curtis today. And the duo have outstanding contracts…nice.

Turbo wants to talk about the unfinished business though. He’s been keeping tabs on Nino, congrats him on passing his bar exam, then says the terminal is fucked. Nino talks on the organization and the problems he’s had to deal with. Bu7ch3r’s business is apparently one of the best, top of the top. The give and take is off. Nino isn’t happy with the shadow org – he questions the power, and its reach. Limited, is it not? Turbo disagrees. Seems we have a bit of a disconnect. Turbo says he was in Paraguay a bit ago, and met a guy with the name of Sangre. While talking with Sangre, they turned to discussing the terminal. Then Nino, Matador. Apparently, Sangre was still very unhappy with Nino – he had an operation which needed supplies yet Nino was unable to commit. Bu7ch3r ended up clearing the emergency order. Turbo says this business is bigger than just this one city – top guys have invested in Nino. Replacements are doable… Seems Bu7ch3r is all in. But what benefits are there? Turbo reminds Nino of where he was when he joined. It used to be a mutual benefit, but things have changed. Where was the display of power? Wizard. Manufacturing. End of the day, everyone needs something. Trades. If contracts aren’t being fulfilled, there’s a reason. And the counsel needs to understand – trade routes had ceased. Some things are uncontrollable. If no responsibility is to be picked up by the org, Nino sees no reason to continue business. He’s still available for contracts, but severs the hold tie. “Just remember, business will always continue, no matter who is here or not,” replies Turbo.

Nino and Turbo rejoin the others. Turbo says the “doors are open for this city. Not just for me, but for now for other interested that want to build a little control in this area. I’d definitely keep on the lookout for that, and maybe that’ll come up during our business as well.” Further talk on Bu7ch3r – hell-bent and looking to establish connects Sahara has. Specialization in top technology. Here’s our enemy. Turbo offers more intel - Bu7ch3r had tried overtaking the cocaine business back in the day but his effort fell apart. Now it’s all fair game. Oh shit.

Turbo takes his leave and Nino updates the boys. He explains the lack of narrative, lack of leverage. Moving forward, we can complete our standing contracts and see what we get. And what if Turbo works for Bu7ch3r? Curtis updates on the latest contract, a “Los Locos” job – hit the vault dressed in all-white and speak like Vagos, and garner media attention. Nino says he’s in – he’s going to join. Fuck the shadows! Nino makes the case they do this job together – it’s better for the long term. Gotta get Saab and JJ good at thermite. Curtis plans to stack up on the fire extinguishers. Nino says he doesn’t care if they fail jobs – the main point is to learn and become self-sufficient within the family. Hell let’s try right now!! They all pile in the car and drive to a power node for JJ to attempt. Through the fence, and JJ takes a shot. Then Nino. [Needs to be 1080p.] But at least no-one burned up!

Run into an ESB. CG. Chat with Ramee, meeting tomorrow. Chat with Gomer. Eugene. Wolfgang. Four Tee. Some cars can be crushed now? If used in a violent crime enough times…

**Executive Summary: Sahara planning for cool future weapon drops. A drop for Speedy. An initiation into Sahara International family for Allen!**

Gets a woman’s number [Thalia 2.0]. Visits MRPD to see if anyone is in the cells. Call from a deep-voiced Edward Kelly(?) about a club: he offers Nino a tour of the place as Nino may become a member.

Nino smokes at a Sahara house, overlooking part of the city and waiting for the boys. First order of news is that Allen is willing to give full loyalty to Sahara – he made his decision. Updates on ESB war. Drop for Speedy and Vagos to be done soon, merch needs moved. We have a bunch of materials now from pulling business from OTT. We can sell our surplus to other businesses, even at a discount – would allow us to vet other people in the city as well and possibly secure business ties. Could we acquire a license for oxy, so we can move legally? Hm. Talk about chlamydia vs covid. Saab shows. Talk on the drop for Speedy. Talk on operations, how they used to be. Nino now wants fireworks (not literally, well I guess maybe). What if we create the illusion the Sahara weapons are incoming from a different unknown source – say, the aircraft carrier. It would lesson the risk of the weapons being linked to Sahara. Push the contract, send the location and time, then watch the show. Buying the contract would entail buying a portion of the entire drop. Like a plane crash – hijack the electronic system, cause a crash, and provide the radio channel to whoever is willing to pay for it. And could even include mystery loots. Buyers: the main connects, and the ones being vetted. And, what if we do two drops – one based on brute, one based on smarts. Can even do different times: one in the morning, one in the evening. Fuck it, let’s do a drop for free, free buy-in. We have enough materials to produce guns to sell overseas. Nino also wants to make it a mind game – import some weapons, like a low number of 4 in the plane, and some more in a safety box that requires solving a puzzle first to find and get, like placed in Paleto. Could even take multiple BBC trucks and only load one of them. A secret Hunger Games.

Call from Allen that we have to move a huge chunk of materials today too. Call from OTT – Allen had told the guy to call Nino. “When are you leaving ESB?” Nino is quick to question. OTT’s set to die with ESB and has no future. No shits given about the materials or business. ESB went after Allen, then Nino himself. Then Curtis, JJ, Allen again…Sahara’s name dropped in front of the PD. Among other stuff. Only resolution seems to be to leave the reckless ESB, Nino argues. OTT still wants to find a remedy and because ESB to him is ‘family’, but does listen to Nino talk. OTT to consider.

Everyone dresses to hide their identities and prepares for the drop. Then the drop, Speedy himself picks up the weapons. Apparently, Sahara and Speedy share a storage spot of a warehouse, and after each drop, Speedy uses this spot for about an overnight. Well so much for the drop, everyone meets again in this warehouse. Cassle had given Speedy access. But they do split the warehouse and only touch what is theirs, but it would be better to split the location.

More materials offered by one of OTT’s guys. We’ll take that, too. Talk on Allen and thoughts to invite him to Sahara. Looking positive for Allen. The man of topic arrives. Talk on OTT and ESB. Allen talks about his decision to give full loyalty to Sahara. Nino offers a contract for Allen to join Sahara International – he accepts! Now he says he has to come clean about something, oh shit haha. The materials he needed for an overseas company, were actually for Vinny. Along with owning PDM, he also helps out Fastlane. JJ tasked with giving Allen a full rundown on the contract and what’s going on soon.

Field trip to view one of JJ’s cars. It’s super hot by the PD so no testing.

Nino meets with Andy Jones, or ‘Ant’. She now has ownership of a good amount of gas stations in the city, and plans to actually use them. Miles joins the duo. Nino gives the spiel of the Sahara company and what it offers. Saab joins too. Talk on business opportunities and restrictions to keep in the know. Ant leaves and talk follows on businesses and what makes them successful in Los Santos.

Garage T led by Steele offering a bunch of stuff. Camilla gives her number to Saab. Nino gets opinions on OTT. Saab thinks OTT will stay loyal to Tyrone and ESB. More talk.

[not collection]

**Executive Summary: City-wide opposition to ESB continues. Nino attends a race event and watches from the sky. Nino learns David is DW. Lots of talk on ESB and by extension, war.**

Snow! Learns hobos are cannibals… Can vegans swallow? Well an interesting start.

Nino meet with Curtis, Vinny, Novah, and Miguel Almerion(?). Novah is CGA now. Talk on chopping. OTT and some others backed out of the war, says he’ll make a diss track. But are they really backing down, or waiting? Houses re-acquired, but not all for now. Some guy Martin(?) blown up. So what now, some people still fighting. Nino pulls Vinny aside – he alludes to the guns the ESB have acquired lately are dirty/busted: it’s a warning for Vinny and his boys. Seems guns are still being funneled to ESB, but not the quality ESB expects, if it’s even realized… [Well something similar, Mehdi mutes and doesn’t explain everything]. Nino now with just Curtis: talk on planning for the future.

Race event. JJ needs a racing partner. Saab maybe. Sahara team colors: gunmetal gray. With gold pearlescent secondary. Not official yet. Nino takes a ride in a helicopter to view the race from above. Coop shows his face. Looks like JJ, Saab, and Miles racing for Sahara. Some testing of helicopters as the racers and organizers prepare. Race starts the colorful headlights take off, the figure 8 track. Finlay and Ryan Parker battle for the lead: Ryan Parker takes the top spot for PDM. [JJ’s disconnected mid-race.]

Need to look for another gun pusher or something. Russians or Grove are prospects. More talk on the current law reading of PD being able to hold people for 24 hours without an accompanying report and documentation – could very easily lead to raids, etc. with PD corruption. Example of Dexx.

Curtis explains that David Watcher is involved with the dark web – he had this information confirmed with the Reverend and Jacob. David has not been causing any problems as of late, however – only trouble with Sahara in the past, when he interacted with a Chasity Dawes. Curtis also tells of the cop Lauren Forcer’s long investigation on Chasity. Miguel was GSF before Snake Gang. The CG war crippled GSF from the inside out and Miguel found himself doing more jobs with Flippy. During his blood-out, he managed to get out with his life after an intense two weeks. Talk on ESB and the start of this war. Talk on ESB’s decisions and purpose. Talk on wars in general.

Restaurant opening by Zee. Raffle afterwards.

**Executive Summary: City war against ESB and affiliates continues: more crackdowns and restrictions placed on ESB. The case with Dexx moves forward after a talk with attorney David Watcher and DA Jessica Wesker. Nino chats with Ghost – an opportunity concerning the dark web.**

Miles. Check up on the war situation.

At the vineyard, Speedy is updated from Nino and requested to hold product shipments to ESB plus find a reason to war. At this ask, Speedy is silent, looking on. A few seconds and Speedy turns to Nino, who clarifies that EVERYTHING originally supplied to ESB is to be cut. Offers to cover: if Speedy needs to replace this buyer, Nino will find one, or buy himself. Speedy says he does have one problem, though: ESB paired with CG have been a nuisance. Vagos don’t want anything to do with this war if CG is involved. Nino replies, an enemy of your enemy is a friend. This is not a small war, rather, a ‘world war’. Reminder of this ESB group and possible consequences with their friendliness to the PD. Speedy still feels badly betrayed by CG.

OTT’s workers had reached out to Speedy – without OTT’s knowledge – to make a deal, as they need money. Speedy to buy as much material as he can. The Vagos involvement in the war will be this, rather than a physical show. Speedy’s loyal. He does have another way to hit at ESB, though…oh fuck it seems I’m deaf all of a sudden… Anyway, with the Vagos to silently steal ESB’s business, this works best as the relationship between Nino/Sahara and Speedy can remain hidden; only Arturo is the one other Vagos to know.

Call from Allen – ESB had stormed PDM looking for him. Well fuck. Speedy speeds to Allen’s location to provide safety. JJ, Curtis, Saab, Allen at the winery. Mike Wadum in the car nearby. They give reports. Miles shows.

Saab interjects, there’s a search warrant for his properties for his business. Judge Coyote had called and said multiple judges/justices wanted to speak with him. Plans are made, weaponry in storage is calculated, quick decisions are made, and the group temporarily diverges. We need to clear Saab’s Integrity apartment if there is to be a search. Nino calls up Coyote – turns out it was a clerical error, whoops on the DOJ’s part, meant for “El Saab” rather than “Al Saab”…

Allen, Miles, and Mike head back to the war frontlines. Nino, JJ, Curtis, and Saab make a pit stop at Harmony. Eugene and Claire. Saab updates that ESB is blacklisted from Fastlane, BBC, and QF. QF is giving a 30% discount to anyone warring with ESB.

In warehouse, this one to be filled with weapons. This way, at least the manufacturing plant is safe even if this one is found. Offensive planning commences.

Meet up with CG: they update on what they have done in the city to push against ESB. Talk on CG/Vagos. Everyone readies for war.

Bill Maze in for the 9s?! Nino speaks to another attorney, David Watcher. This guy seems to have disdain for Maze. He also says Dexx doesn’t actually want to get out, because Nino and Maze are working on a case. Nino explains. Apparently the DOJ is shit.

CG warehouse. They practice shooting inside and sirens are heard outside the walls… some tense moments later the parade of cars take to the city. Time to war.

Nino meets with David and takes a first impression of the guy in pajamas, a red scarf, and eyepatch. Nino says he’ll fight for justice and wants to get a sense of this lawyer. David figured Maze is being held because the latter put out a hit on two people. This was reported to the PD and Maze was subsequently picked up. Maze on a thin rope. Nino speaks on the Dexx situation, seeing if David will help him fight. David gives suggestions on the situation and what to do. Nino proceeds to file two FOIA requests, one for the report and the other for the authorization for PD high command to place Dexx in a 24 hour hold. To Bolingbroke, we need consent from Dexx. And then a petition for a writ of habeas corpus (or does something related, idk, I’m not versed in this yet).

Ghost calls. Will meet. Later, Calogero Vercetti joins the war.

Nino and Ghost meet. Nino updates on what’s going on with ESB. Talk on materials and PD investigation. Ghost tells of an old contract involving Raja; in August, the contract was burned. Mechanic shop was affected because of this, and this material market is on Ghost’s radar. Ghost mentions the dark web. Talk on Jacob. There was a hiccup with the Digital Den’s proceedings as Payne Real Estate was part of a previous plan – however, they still want to continue. Wartime is a good time to do secretive business – can hide under the gun fire. Ghost has interest to bring Nino into a dark web chatroom; he says for Nino to look for the username “Dust”. Nino will be given an encryption tool and a key – for decryption of personalized messages. The PD and associates are known to be in the chatroom and are enjoying a game of cat and mouse. Ghost remarks he was warned to be wary of Nino; Nino responds in his manner. Ghost confirms ESB being cut off from SMGs, silencers, and extended magazines.

Rudi phone call, he’s angry about Gary. They agree to pause this conversation until the resolution of the ESB war.

Back on the war field. Another meetup with a bunch of people. Ha, DOJ even going after OTT.

Nino chats with Vercetti. Talk on business endeavors. They find a Misfits guy who is repeatedly getting robbed, all because he’s a friend of OTT’s. Back to talking with Vercetti about the war. And then about war in general. Misfits guy picked up and handcuffed, is he playing a game? What’s he really doing? Text messages checked. Nino has the guy be appreciative he’s not with ESB. Seems ESB is hiding away in their houses.

MRPD. Calls DA Jessica Wesker about the FOIA request. She responds to the request and give some information. She doesn’t see a report. After some back and forth, she says she’s heading to the MRPD to work on letting Dexx go. Plan to use Wesker as a witness. Nino acquires a written record from Wesker with what she has seen so far.

Announcement that Ant is now the owner of the Grove Street gas station.

Nino meets up with Dexx at the vineyard. Even though Dexx is out, Nino’s still going to fight for this injustice. The other Grove member with Dexx gives a few stories of Wrangler’s corruption. Some more talking. Thankful, Dexx gives a clutch af gift in place of money.

Vercetti and Nino cruise. Vinny calls, Novah is now CGA, previously ESB.

Visitation in Bolingbroke for a talk with Maze, on the other side of the glass. Maze tells of what happened, involving reporting a murder to the PD.

**Executive Summary: Despite many opportunities, ESB is hell bent on war. And war they find, with nearly every group on the opposing side, even forcing Sahara’s hand after it seems they only communicate with gunshots. Product movement to ESB from Sahara is to cease entirely. Allen faces a tough choice involving full loyalty to Sahara. Nino takes a stand in MRPD after finding a civil rights violation and witnessing PD corruption while representing Dexx. Saab is brought up to speed on Sahara involvement in the international sphere.**

Some cruising, then a call to a guy Harvey who can service all Nino’s vehicles. Call with Warren. W. Wallace, another new lawyer in town – Warren is soon drawn into Nino’s sex teaching offering. At MRPD, Nino talks to a DOC officer, Sayeed White.

Lawyer services for Flippy; cop pressing charges: Toretti.

A quick break, then cocaine in Integrity. Talk with Pixafy (spelling?) guy: he’s COO of Erin’s business and also works with Allen.

**ESB’s Delusion:**

TL;DR: ESB has many enemies and can’t figure out why – they kidnap Nino. Seems they don’t understand clapback. Time to engage. Supply of product to ESB to cease.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

On a trip to Benny’s for his F40, Nino is held up by Tyrone and the ESB, placed into a car, and driven to a remote location. Questioning begins – Tyrone isn’t happy Curtis involved himself next to Flippy in the ongoing ESB war. Also stems back to OTT and his material prices. Tony and Eugene also involved, wtf does that have to do with us? ESB is backing family member OTT, but why tf is ESB asking Nino the questions they are? Either they’re not getting the full story, or someone’s toes are being stepped on. Nino stays chill and keeps talking. Seems both sides here are missing some information. And at least one side is a bit delusional here, don’t think I need to point out which. Nino also finds a chance to ask Tyrone about dropping Sahara’s name earlier in the PD. “Perception is everything.” Although it doesn’t seem to matter much to Tyrone, it does have impact… Seems to be a central theme for ESB and other groups in the city. Tyrone doesn’t think he’s gained much via Nino. More talk about ESB troubles while ESB members stand by with guns drawn.

Some commotion later, turns out an Officer Chet Manley tweeted for Nino as the PD needed a lawyer, Tyrone texted Chet something along the lines of “Nino’s busy, he’s tied up hahahahaha”, Chet found this text worrisome and actually managed to find them, and now Nino speaks with the officer, says he’s not in trouble. Right after hanging up, he tells his kidnappers it’s time to move. Everyone moves. Nino tells Tyrone he’ll speak to Curtis, and demands the Sahara name be left out of conflict with the police and feds in earshot. Nino is peacefully dropped off back at Benny’s. Well so much for staying out of this war. How to work with delusion, seems they don’t understand clapback. With how they operate, it’s better to be prepared rather than unprepared, and the only effective communication is to show force…

Randy’s friend has the F40. Airfield with Flippy, Nino tells of what just happened with ESB. Flippy, Randy, Ramee, Taco, Mr. K, Bobby Brown, ? So. Allen was threatened this morning by ESB. Then Curtis, Flippy, Vinny, and Miguel took down ESB. Then Tyrone and ESB picked up Nino. Talk on the Sahara name drop. Nino puts an offer for resources on the table for CG to hit back, without using his name or Sahara’s. ESB provided oxy to CG before, so Nino will look into sourcing oxy for those lines of business.

Tony says LB is no more. And that he and Eugene didn’t shoot up ESB. Corleone Syndicate soon maybe.

Allen’s story is that he does not understand why ESB attacked him, unless it was for just hanging out with Flippy… JJ and Curtis join the pair at Sahara’s office. Everyone is brought up to speed. Nino gives a much better recap here than whatever tf I wrote above. Actions time. Speedy, current supplier for ESB, is to drop product movement to ESB. Flippy and his supplier are to be monitored and the line kept open. Contingent until an apology is made to Allen. Nino rethinks, maybe he’s overeating. ESB needs a lesson. Every business they’re involved, we’re to pick up. Product buildup to begin in warehouse(s).

Allen makes his case for always backing Sahara. Nino tests how far Allen would be willing to go, saying CG needs to go down and Allen might need to shoot Vinny. Standing next to them is a speechless Allen for a minute. Although he individually backs Nino, JJ, Curtis, etc., he does have reservations about being 100%, especially with CG in the picture.

Miles shows, Nino says he wants Miles strapped 24/7 now. Miles says, from Novah, ESB is coming for everybody. This Novah works for ESB but also is pushing to CG at the same time, during the war. Nino recommends Allen strap heavy as well. Miles to be foreman of the oxy business Sahara will be taking away from ESB.

Sahara’s car is GTR for the moment – Nino, JJ, and Curtis each roll one. To MRPD, to represent Dexx. While listening to Dexx’ story, Nino enjoys a line in the basement of the police department. Wrangler is the officer for Dexx, and also for Matthew Payne, who is brought in handcuffed shortly. Nino and Toretti talk. After speaking more with Dexx, looks to Nino like a civil rights violation – Nino even brings in another lawyer, Bill Maze, after witnessing corruption.

**ESB Recklessness Continues:**

TL;DR: Sahara takes a much more active role in retaliation to ESB.

Saab calls – JJ and Curtis may be fucked; they were held up by ESB and are not responding. Saab is ready to go to war, Nino gives permission. Later, both Curtis and JJ each also call – and both are fucking pissed. ESB heavily outnumbered the pair and took them out, not leaving them a chance. And somehow ESB still thinks it’s all about materials. So Sahara’s definitely in this now. Nino spends some more time at MRPD. Some time later, Saab has managed to work with Tony, Siz, and HOA to take a few hits at the gas station.

Back in the city, Nino meets with Saab and company. Some conversing later, Nino lets Saab in on the plan that ESB is to be bleed completely dry – and Speedy, supplier for ESB, may possibly even go to war with ESB, an extra step beyond just cutting supply. Info just in that there’s a parade of ESB: the 3 orange cars peel out of the garage towards Grove Street. There, CG has ESB tied up in the back of a funeral van. A crowd gathers as CG shoots the nearby gas tanks, blowing up the van in a fiery display. The large crowd cheers.

To Bolingbroke visitation to visit Dexx. Nino warns he may not have a bar license soon. Sharing of information. Dexx encouraged to possibly go on a hunger strike. Wrangler may have something against Grove and Dexx.

Back on the road with Saab. Nino considers this is the only time Sahara has cut off a product line for a group…but man, the entire city is basically against ESB right now. How to stop this ESB mess?

Nino tells Saab a bit more about Sahara operations, including past operations, like the Terminal, the heists, the origin of some weaponry, etc.

[not collection]

**Executive Summary: Sahara International gains a new member, Al Saab, who accepts the offer to join and is initiated. Sahara’s name was dropped to the PD as linked to CG, who currently are at war with ESB. Vetting of individuals in the city continues. Nino finds himself in a few scenarios representing as Mike Block’s lawyer.**

Drive in the F40. Confrontation with some random dude, ESB Adonis ‘AK’ King. Call with Curtis. Still in the F40, collision with a biker Gary. Meets with JJ, Curtis, and Speedy. Talk on the Vagos and CG war. Speedy been collecting materials externally from OTT – Nino suggests he could gain a profit from Sahara if he manages to get more. Speedy is encouraged to create a crew for material gathering. Speedy to be given some Tec-9s to test the market. Speedy says he’s ready if it ever comes for a call to arms.

**Initiation into Sahara:**

TL;DR: Al Saab is presented with an offer to join the Sahara family – he accepts! He is initiated and brought up to speed on expectations and operations.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Saab joins Nino, JJ, and Curtis at the Kortz Center. Talk on the city and business within it. Nino tells of the change of Sahara, “sometimes the boys in suits will need to bring out the boys and the toys”. Saab is considered “level-headed” and “not a fucking pussy.” The businessman is offered a spot in Sahara International.

“It would be my pleasure; I feel like this is where I belong. This is where I want to be…I always chose family before anything…I’m done being Al Saab the follower, I want to be Al Saab the businessman.” Saab accepts.

“When it comes to the boys in Sahara, we can hold our own, we’ve got each other’s back. And at the end of the day, if we can’t protect those that we love, people that we’ve given our word to protect, if it can’t be done through any other means, we protect them. If Scarface and Elon Musk were to meet and start a business, that’s where I’d imagine Sahara being many months for now. We didn’t have Scarface, he’s been sleeping in a fucking truck, sleeping away like a fucking sarcophagus with his AK in hand, waiting… Quiet but deadly.”

Talk on Wetworks times, which Saab remembers. Saab is initiated into Sahara. With Saab, come the ventures Fastlane and BBC under the wing of Sahara. This is followed by talk on ERP. BBC can acquire materials. Saab is shown the inside of Sahara’s bunker and the workbench, gun range, etc. Nino gives the backstory of Sahara to Saab and brings him up to date on how we’re operating and what’s expected. Saab’s encouraged to be himself.

“For so long we’ve been running a business/facility for the criminal underground – that’s not enough, it doesn’t sustain you, it doesn’t hold you up…one day, I could imagine us having a bunker like this, with everything you ever fucking need sitting inside of it for ourselves, and each thing coming in from a group that we’ve put into place - people that we’ve vetted, people that run off on their own, people that we protect. They’re self-sufficient…it’s like the back end of the business so to speak.”

Talk on OTT material’s which are leading to a CG and ESB war. Talk on other already existing sources for materials. Talk on Speedy, Los Santos’ biggest gun connect. Saab remembers the start of Speedy’s relationship with Nino. New info about some events transpiring between CG and OTT. Nino wants everyone carrying AKs. Racing event starting soon. Curtis is needed by Flippy.

Nino arrives at MRPD as a lawyer to represent the Chang Gang. He almost loses his license before even clocking in but remembers last minute to stash the coke in the car and off his person. Down in the cells, Taco says he already pled guilty. Nino, Soze, and Coyote have a talk in the lobby.

Random dude DeMarcus Lewis (?) given 5k and told to get aluminum/copper. We’ll see how he does. Back driving, conversation between Nino and JJ steers to Miles. The driver had overheard some talk and seems to be getting curious. CG and Flippy speak briefly on ESB. Gary the biker confronts Nino about earlier – punching match, Nino goes down, Gary is immediately shot, off to Grandmas!

Talk with a bunch of people about CG vs. ESB. Yet again back to talk on OTT and materials. The name of Sahara is brought up. Discussion over Sahara’s name linked to CG and their ongoing gang war within vicinity of police and also maybe a judge. Allen wants to place an order for hardware and says he’s close with the bikers – business of ammo.

Nino, JJ, Curtis, Allen. While prepping, talk on Sahara’s perception with the name drop mentioned earlier. More info dump on ESB. Miles shows: Curtis and JJ enjoy a quick scare, then tell him what he has to do – kill Matt Rhodes with a suppressed AK. “I’ll get it taken care of.” He also has some good intel, says he witnessed Cheddar speak to the cops and give information.

Nino speaks on Allen a prospect for Sahara with JJ and Curtis. More coke. Miles another prospect, a “red shirt”. Chef and Grove of interest, Curtis to keep eyes. New location, this one to be used to meet DeMarcus and check out his material catch. He’s got some material with the 5k and information on the market. 40/pop, 20/copper, 30/aluminum… DeMarcus to look for cheaper offers and people to help. Any and all materials to be collected by DeMarcus.

ESB Tyrone tweets a photo of Taco and Vinny motionless on the ground. Later, Javier calls, he’s planning to move his main international office to Los Santos. Event at Vinewood Bowl involving Eugene, Mike Block, Four Tee set for the main attraction Toretti. A quick speech later, the event ends with a shootout between Mike and the two cops, Toretti and Richardson. Nino has Miles give his contact information to a downed Mike should he want a lawyer. Meet with Layla, who works for Curtis, totally in a professional manner. Guy who almost ran them over earlier is seen. Time to confront and time to threaten to sue. His name’s Hal. Coke. Another photo by Tyrone with ESB up and CG down.

Nino called for a bench trial for his lawyer services. He represents Mike Block, Four Tee, and Sai Carter against the PD Toretti and Bison. Trial is over the shootout Nino witnessed earlier at Vinewood Bowl. Bill Maze arrives to represent Sai Carter then decides against it. Trial begins with Judge Coyote presiding. It’s Mike Block so guilty.

Nino questions Miles about his aspirations. Randy. Random talk for a while. Picks up a woman. Call for lawyer needed…for Mike Block. MRPD, Ripley shares his info and Mike his. Mike fakes a concussion and to Pillbox everyone goes.

**Executive Summary: The usual updates from JJ, Curtis, and a few others. OTT’s ‘material mafia’ is discussed. Sahara operations are going to change and be more visible following actions by rival Bu7ch3r – protection offered by Sahara will be more hands-on. Nino seeks a bar license to practice law.**

JJ and Curtis. Some dude calls. Tony. Payne. From the latter, Nino learns Tyrone may be negative towards Sahara. Vinny. Tyrone explains he was rather against Johnny personally and not Sahara as a whole, gives info on the wars in the southside like ESB and the Vagos, and says ESB now runs the material market: OTT raised his prices and subsequently pissed off some of his customers, Flippy is one of the unhappy ones, CG shot OTT up yesterday. Payne tells of Cheddar taking out Johnny, who is in the hospital – and that Cheddar works with the PD.

Meet with JJ and Curtis. Nino says he’s considering law school. Sahara can protect itself, and we can vet other people in the city better… JJ updates Flippy is wanted by the ESB and Vinny is wanted by the Vagos, both because materials. JJ and Curtis explain Sahara’s business involvement in materials and why Flippy, Vinny, and Ramee are lingering. Now these three join the conversation, quickly joined by Siz and then Randy. Nino explains his plan for law school. Talk on OTT and materials. Effect of materials on hardware, etc. Forward motion to push OTT out of this business. Reliance on materials needs to be on more than one guy. Coke shared. Ramee wants to know a status on his gallery project.

No way to run a clean business in Los Santos, so from here on out Nino is “personally taking out an AK-47 and coming for your face” if there’s any “dumb fucking shit”.

Nino, JJ, and Curtis change location. The Bu7ch3r has been closing in on Nino’s space – remember, the Bu7ch3r is another with access to the Terminal. During Nino’s time away from Los Santos, this rival has stolen a good deal of Nino’s business and has since managed to use politics to turn many of the Board against Nino. A few still have Nino’s back, however. The Bu7ch3r, being very calculated, may strike Nino, his crew, and his business at any moment…but when exactly is unknown.

“The way we’ve been conducting business, it’s not gonna work anymore. Cause right now we’ve been servicing the Board, aka the folks at the other end of the Terminal.” Sahara will continue, Nino says, but we’re going to be much more proactive now and emerge from the shadows. Secretive protective measures taken will now be more visible. “The way we operate, it’s changing. It doesn’t work here – if we protect someone, we fucking mean it, even if that means we take out our own fucking guns and protect with our own hands. I’m ready to take off the tie and fucking throw it on the table, roll up my sleeves.” Saab is of interest to Nino.

Nino attends law school.

**Executive Summary: Setting up for the bazaar – Miles to lead prototype. Nino learns loose end Payne was blown up with c4. The MRPD discovers the aftereffects of a chemical attack at the chicken factory and Nino provides an interview on his legal business. Miles opens up about his backstory and shares some thoughts about Los Santos.**

Johnny, Curtis, and Miles pick up Nino from the airport. Miles tells of a weed farm incident with a Vagos member – seems inaccurate information was passed around a bit of a bad light of Miles. However, Sahara’s driver does have a gambling problem… a brewing issue.

Prototype of the bazaar set up to be led by Miles. As a reminder, this social hub and one-stop-shop is to expand business reach and create jobs via a conglomerate of multiple businesses all backed by Sahara and direct employees. An accessible warehouse on location will contain the essentials of living in the city and will be offered at discounted prices. Oh, and it’s also a front for Sahara – an underground market with secret menu items (not just Sahara products, offerings are city-wide) are available to a select audience. Getting this up and going before much more continuation of Sahara’s loaning and banking services, etc.

**c4 for Payne:**

TL;DR: Information about the warehouses made it to the MRPD; this latest development along with more suspicious acts lead to Payne certainly being a loose end – enter the c4.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Johnny pauses momentarily before saying he and Vinny c4’d Payne. Why?! “Long time coming…he forced our hand.” Payne had told Trooper Jackie Snow about the warehouse business and didn’t stop at just the legal side. Payne also wanted to put a hit on Speedy. Payne was seen as a growing threat to Sahara’s warehouse business so the boys took action. Payne’s a loose end and this escalated to a possible vulnerable reaction from Sahara. Decisions are being made without the full family, though not many Sahara members are usually around… the family operation is paramount – even more important than individual relationships. Cassle’s been doing what he can for Sahara with what he’s got.

Nino speaks on the greater picture, “I had friends, plenty of them, but I always got put against a certain crossroad where I had to ask myself, ‘Is my friendship with this individual worth the risk of the problems I’m going to have with our connections overseas?’ Because those guys, where this shit is even coming from to begin with, are a much bigger force than anything else this city has. And at that point, there were times when I had to make decisions that did not bode well with those that I considered friends. And it’s not because I didn’t want to work with them, it was because there was no other choice. And taking that choice would either get me killed, or would make our entire operation fall over…sometimes we’re not gonna make our friends happy. And does it suck? Ya it does. But in the long term, it keeps things going, and those relationships eventually repair themselves.”

Tuner shop to get an oil change. Siz is still set to get a weapon drop. No updates from the Russians on the past problems Sahara has had with them. Nino brings Miles up to date on the protype bazaar idea – the legal side.

**c4 for Payne Take 2:**

TL;DR: Vinny now provides his account on what happened with Payne.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino, Johnny, and Curtis meet with Vinny and Ramee. Presented with Payne’s leg… Vinny gives his account of what led to the Payne c4 situation: Payne was “literally bringing down the whole operation and was going to fuck us all over…literally revealing us to the cops and everything”. Vinny says Payne said Snow entered a warehouse of Speedy’s, an illegal one which contained 3 Dracos and an AK. Emilio, a Vagos, snitched this one to the cops, and Payne, upon realizing, made rounds to tell clients to clear their warehouses. However, Payne knew he needed to change the code of that warehouse weeks ago but didn’t. There’s also the matter of legal grounds – the warehouses are all under Payne, and if a trooper entered one… Payne also was acting suspicious and taking photographs as of late, says Vinny, this information matching what Johnny was mentioning earlier.

Unfortunately, Payne is a necessary evil. We need the warehouses for our business. Plan to continue to distance ourselves as much as we can from the roller coaster of Payne. Maybe we can brainwash the guy.

Vinny updates that Chang was stabbed by Garry Berry and Conan Clarkson – he’s now subsequently is in the ICU with a deteriorating condition. Vinny wants his business line for hardware opened again with Nino – after his case he was charged with 2nd degree murder x2, served his time, and paid his bill.

Johnny calls, chemical attack at the chicken factory. On location, Nino is told by Trooper Hunter and Sergeant Baas that the chicken are all impacted and 3 dead bodies, a woman’s head, and c4 were found in the building. Nino, Johnny, Curtis and Miles stand by the flickering red and blue lights as they watch the police clear the scene.

Turns out we kinda need Payne to secure ownership of the plaza. Temporary solution discussed, we’ll just bus over stuff for now for the prototype. Actually not many people out and about today, perhaps not a good day for a test run for the bazaar.

Testing of mind control with a witch with Fiona as test subject; checking the woman’s authenticity to see if they can later use her for Payne.

Pulled over by Hunter, Baas, and a cadet. The cops update Nino on the incident earlier at the chicken factory. Nino pokes at Hunter to give him a ticket with the threat of going to trial: no ticket given.

MRPD. Chat with Torah. Interview by Baas about the Cluckin’ Bell attack: Nino explains his legal business and the factory being an asset of Sahara International’s. Field trip to Cluckin’ Bell and Nino explains some more to Baas, convincing the sergeant that he was not the intended target. Name of Mr. 9. Off-topic talk on ERP. Nino references Johnny and Curtis as contacts for the factory for more questions.

Racing with Miles. Nevermind, not racing, just hanging out. Nino calls up a matchmaking guy. Wtf, Eugene our intern robbed the big vault?! Eugene gives notes from the court cases today. Four Tee has memory loss. Apparently doctors don’t make much money at Pillbox. Trying to set up a therapy session for Johnny.

Meet with the matchmaking guy at the Playboy Mansion / The Estate. Story that everything is for ERP. Just Nino and Miles now, Miles gives his account about what happened with the Vagos. Nino learns of Miles spoken principles and morals and thoughts of Los Santos. They share parts of their backstories.

Jonny(?) the matchmaking guy brings 3 women, Lana, Petunia, and Carmella’s mother Nancy. Miles gives the guests a totally legit tour of the estate while bartender Wei is called in to work last minute. Wei puts on a performance to get the woman drunk asap. Cocaine. Mona shows, unhappy that she wasn’t told of this party as she would have planned it all out.

**Executive Summary: Obligatory update given to Nino: business and operations going well. Need to identify a third plug for hardware to join Speedy and Vinny. Some of CG under legal heat so some business temporarily cut. Curtis is initiated and welcomed into the Sahara family. Curtis is shown the Den and let in on some Sahara information. Javier is introduced to Johnny and Curtis. Talk on CG and Tommy’s upcoming court case. A look at the Ferrari and talk on upcoming auction. Eddie and a loan service in the works. Drop for low-quality weapons to be scheduled for Chef upon his return. Possible drop for low-quality weapons to be scheduled for Siz. Party held by Sahara at the Playboy Mansion, now known as The Estate.**

**Obligatory Update:**

TL;DR: Johnny and Curtis update Nino on the status quo: people and operations.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Meet with Johnny, Curtis, and Miles, the latter the driver. Update from Johnny on the successful product movement of the 108 bricks from Otto. Economy health was taken into account. To Pacific Bluffs. Talk on some meetings planned for the day. GSF split, some civil war. Now at the resort, Nino says Miles seems like he gets it – does what he’s told and doesn’t ask questions. Flippy has some links to information and deals with small weaponry – he knows what Speedy has told him, and may have an idea of what JJ and Johnny do as product used to be pushed to him. Johnny gives an example of Flippy keeping his mouth shut.

Need to meet with the Russians: the last few weeks have been dealings as normal, crack, coke, and small hardware. Gonna talk with Boris later. Recycling center opened recently, but business has been going well. Materials cost have been at an all-time-low – can push more product. About a week ago weapons were given to Speedy and Vinny, 50 and 40, respectfully. Within hours those were moved again.

Plan: produce lower quality equipment, count of 30, to move to another plug. Setting up another option here in regards to the current demand and potential for future partnerships. Would be to see where the product goes, and would be offered initially at a reduced cost. Need to identify possible plugs, maybe Boris, Siz, and GSF (would include stipulation of dealing only with Chef). Johnny speaks that he would prefer the third middleman to be more available in the city. For Siz, weapons for cocaine. For Boris, he moves product and is available for odd jobs for Sahara. We’re already testing them. They both are able to move product, especially to areas the first 2 pushers don’t reach, and they’re low-key.

Siz is Otto’s main connect – he wasn’t made aware of the coke being moved. Curtis’ name was dropped and made it to Siz; he felt blindsided as he believed this was his market. Johnny reassured Siz on Sahara’s behalf this was a one-off deal. Not our problem anyway. Who dropped Curtis’ name? Claire. Okay, no direct business for her.

Vinny got the 9s?! Vinny and CG did a job, he was caught, and now he’s on bail. Direct business has been cut. Nino says cut all the indirect business too. Well, Vinny may be on bail for a month as the DA is retiring… on the bright side they completed the Ferrari mission! Tommy, from the tuner shop who was also involved as a mechanic, is in the same predicament as Vinny. Nino questions the business still operating with Vinny: Allen is the middleman for Vinny – all business was location drops and masked up. Not bad setup, but still…

It starts pouring rain for like the third time and they decide to move. Also fuck the CID. Back to the car and Miles starts the drive to Vinny’s mansion. Coke time.

Vinny now joins Nino, Johnny, and Curtis. Talk on ERP. Talk on business and cutting it off: Vinny says understood. Nino lets on about testing for another pusher. Wait, it’s not just Vinny, but also Chang, Ramee, and Tommy listed for the same court trial? Can’t prison break right now [scuff] so just waiting for the other CG members to get caught.

**Curtis’ Initiation:**

TL;DR: After confiding in Johnny and listening to what he has to say, Nino welcomes Curtis into the Sahara family with an initiation on a pier.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

On the north shore of the Alamo Sea in Galilee, Nino leads Johnny to the end of a pier. There, he tells the story of Randall(spelling?), one of his past guys who couldn’t keep his mouth shut. Randall became aggressive when he hit the bottle and found himself a liability – Nino stabbed him and put him in a grinder. “At the end of the day, his feelings, his aspirations, were not more important than everyone else. Sometimes you gotta make the hard decision. Sometimes, you gotta cut the cancer out before it starts to spread.” Somehow this guy seemed to know his end was coming…his cousin arrived in the city soon thereafter and investigators were involved in the search for him. Nino brought the cousin to this very dock, told him he killed Randall, and took a slash to his neck from a knife. Lily then stepped in, and this cousin took the fall for Randall.

”Don’t forget about the business, don’t forget about loyalty. Because at the end of the day, a stupid decision, one made in haste, needs to be corrected. And if mistakes become too paramount, well it’s not just you that you’re affecting, it’s not just me that you’re affecting, but you’re affecting the entire family. You understand what I’m saying? There’s going to be decisions that you make that are bad, bad because you didn’t see something coming. But here’s the thing, those decisions can at least be amended. Decisions that are made haphazardly, and put everyone else as a target, well that becomes a problem that can only be corrected one way. You know why I’m telling you this?”

Johnny takes a few guesses. Nino pulls out his knife. But it isn’t for Johnny – it’s for Curtis. Will Curtis adhere to these principles? Does he understand the gravity of the decision to join this family? Johnny ranks Curtis’ trust on the same level as JJ and vouches for him. But will he become a zombie, if it comes to it? Curtis is independent, but doesn’t cause unnecessary trouble. Nino and Johnny silently walk the length of the pier back to land. Time for initiation. Nino invites Curtis onto the pier now.

Nino points to the longevity of their relationship and what Curtis has done and offered in the past. He appreciates the loyalty Curtis displayed. “Loyalty and respect is what I cherish most,” replies Curtis. Nino remarks that Sahara isn’t just an investment company – sure, there’s guns, and there’s drugs. “But at the end of the day, it’s about keeping each other fat, healthy, and protected – no matter what. Even if that means putting down a friend. Even if you may not agree with it…” Nino offers Curtis a spot in Sahara and recommends he take the decision seriously [perma contract].

Nino pulls his knife again, in front of Curtis. “I’m asking not just your loyalty, loyalty that you have already shown not just to myself, Cassle, and JJ, loyalty to the business, loyalty and trust that not only you have placed in us but we have placed in you. I ask for that next step, for you to open the door into the fucking depths of hell that you are about to be introduced into. This is not a life that everyone is accustomed to and it is a life that brings sometimes joy, and other times some sorrow. And occasionally, sometimes it means taking actions on things you don’t always agree with. But, if you’re willing to take those actions, even if the decision does not make sense: the only thing that matters is that the decision was made. And anything regarding the business, or things that may affect the business and greater family, are brought to light and come to me, whether you think I’m gonna like it or not. Cause at the end of the day, you trust that I make the decisions that are best for everyone. Is this something you are willing to live by? Are you willing to kill Flippy, if he affects the family? Claire, Eugene? Put out your hand.” Nino cuts the palm of Curtis’ hand, letting blood drip onto the wooden planks of the pier below. “Consider that mark and scar as a means to remember what might happen if that line is crossed. Welcome to the family, Curtis!”

Curtis is shown the Den. Talk on the Wizard and his fate. Curtis is told about the warehouses. Confirmation of offing Dragon and Buck. Confirmation on Nino and Johnny’s side that Curtis knew from Payne. Side tangent on Payne. Side tangent on Coop – he talked after Sonya’s storyline. Talk on Arthur, Murphy, Coop, Allen, etc. and that whole story. Wait, Buddha has a recording of the conversation with Claire when the info dropped from Coop? And Ellie was with Buddha? Coop! Johnny to get terminal access soon. Talk on racing.

Call from Javier! Meet at Sahara, introductions for Johnny and Curtis. Reminder, Javier is CFO and has been working the international books for good while. He makes the illegal shit look like legal shit. Johnny and Curtis get to know Javier quick. A woman with red hair hanging around the office…she gets questioned. She just wants to sell coke and wants to know what their ‘turf’ limits are. The guys give her a hard time for a while before buying some of her coke. Call from Eddie. Call from Speedy. Brief update on Cluckin’ Bell while everyone changes clothes. Miles joins from waiting outside by the car and all five cut lines in the Ponsonbys clothing store. Miles is pulled over by Rhodes and a new cadet; the others stand by. Seconds later the cops pull away and Miles retrieves his limo.

Back to the Pacific Bluffs to meet with Eddie and Tommy. Also Ramee. Talk on CG and Tommy’s upcoming court case. To CG’s warehouse to take a look at the Ferrari. And a Maserati. They talk about the job and how to approach the consequences, lawyers, DA Donny Crane, etc. Gallery website out in a few hours. Invite-only underground auction possibility.

New currency in the city incoming. Eddie’s been keeping track of loan opportunities in relation to cars and businesses. Loan service through Sahara in the works.

**Chef’s Back?**

TL;DR: Sahara puts itself in a position of a little risk to give an opportunity to invest in Chef, OG GSF.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Call from Chef. Nino wants to give a 50% drop. Johnny is dubious about proceeding with this deal – for the third pusher we’re looking for, Chef is very rarely around nowadays and GSF is a bit shambled at the moment and not at its height. Nino says he and Chef have a solid relationship, and that both Vinny and Speedy were brought up in similar circumstances to their current positions. Gotta take risks and gotta test. Johnny and JJ have had an eye out for potential pushers and some names in mind. Curtis speaks, GSF may try to undercut the market with guns as that’s the gossip story of what they did with coke which lead to them being cut off. Right now we’re looking at offering opportunities with some risk on our side. Johnny would be worried about the market if Sahara opened a line with Chef/GSF and instead recommends Boris – he’s been vetting him for a while. We need to take risks, offer opportunities, allow for establishment and footing to be set. We can afford at least one drop to Chef, especially low-quality hardware.

Meet in the usual spot with Chef, Dexx, and Ghost. Gift of white wine and vodka. Share of some coke. Short and sweet, they’re down for business. They want an export of money rolls in place of money laundering. Nino pulls aside Chef – he remarks on the concerns of the perception of GSF. Chef sees a lot of work ahead of him with this new group of GSF members. Even so, Nino offers a business line through Chef only – Chef’s a good one. Low-end hardware for Chef and whomever he chooses to push into the city. Chef sees a lot of loose ends he still needs to clean, but may be ready to start work in a week or so.

Nino speaks with Johnny and Curtis. “You know sometimes the decisions we make in this city, I don’t mind taking risks from time to time. I mean hell, if I end up wrong, I end up wrong, what’s the worst that comes out of it? A little bit of conflict. Chaos is fucking beautiful.”

Payne phone call. Playboy Mansion. Nino is quick on the realtor’s case for selling a house that was on hold for Nino. And the narcotics. And the running his mouth. Payne might have said something about Sahara and a c4 to Marcus Griffin. He told Gomer his brother Buck was dead. Payne tried to work with Eugene and a few others to form a ‘gang’. Eugene knows he killed Buck and also something about Curtis. Nino requests his house in a week.

Justice Katya calls for information on the Sahara International business. Some guy wants to start a business under Sahara. Well that’s not what judges do, approve these. Nino refers him to Miles to listen to his proposal – if it’s good, it’ll go up the line. Payne offers Nino to put a bullet in his head if he ever royally fucks up with Sahara. Another short conversation with Katya. Nino continues to be rude, very short-tempered, etc.

Meet up with Siz. Talk on last court case – he went to jail. Can we trust Siz? Does he have the capacity and bandwidth to push product? And does he want to do it? Review of past relationship with Siz. Possible drop for low-quality weapons to be scheduled for Siz. As a test.

Nino, Johnny, Curtis, Siz, and Javier for some chill time. MRPD to check out the newest cadets. Slut walk rally. HOA tavern. More people. Playboy Mansion now known as The Estate. Party to be had, now need to get people. DJ acquired. They watch a holdup at a convenience store. At The Estate. Nino and Murphy sidebar, Nino wants a contract set up for the property: Nino and Coop to have ownership but Nino’s decisions trump Coop’s. Property to be considered public, but if any laws are broken, it doesn’t come back to Nino. Also wants an ERP contract. Party. No shortage of coke. DJ, bartender, security, etc. Good turnout, even a food truck. Toretti is security and is questioned when Officer Dan arrives to the party. Dan shows again on request – he says there was a call for an injured person on the property. But Dan didn’t announce himself because he “didn’t have a chance,” that’s the problem. Could’ve been shot.

Nino, Johnny, Curtis, Miles, and Mona drive. They meet some guy who is blacklisted from the tuner shop. HOA tavern, bunch of people including Coop. White haired cop spotted again, Dan. Some weird stuff with milk and the HOA group.

Final meeting with Johnny and Curtis: keep building relationships, even with underdogs.

### **Episode 125 [Sep 12, 2020]**

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/739172743?t=5h8m33s 5 8 33

[not collection]

**Executive Summary: Nino learns JJ and Johnny were caught during a job recently and now have criminal records. Payne’s been talking too much. Coop’s been talking too much: huge respect loss here. Link up with Murphy Braun to be legal representation for Sahara. Chill time with Johnny, Randy, and Claire.**

**Caught:**

TL;DR: Nino links with Johnny, JJ, Curtis, and Flippy and learns of the new criminal records of JJ and Johnny due to a botched job.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino lands at the airport and links with Cassle, JJ, Curtis, and Flippy. Curtis offers coke. Talk with JJ on his C63 Coupe S. The others keep whispering on the radio… Some snacks at a convenience store and Nino returns to the car with the others panicking – they motion to be quiet as Nino approaches. More coke in the glovebox.

They stop at the Playboy Mansion and Johnny cuts some lines for himself. They make their way to a spot to talk. There’s something definitely up, they’re all acting weird…

JJ is quick to say Johnny once thought he was a SS gangster and Curtis needed to dress as Nino to snap him out of it. Um. They decide to get drinks and on the way JJ passes the weirdness off as them doing drugs. Curtis pulls Johnny and JJ to the side to discuss a “surprise”. Nino remarks to Flippy that they’re clearly hiding something, and if they fucked up, it’s better to just let him know, sooner than later. Nino gives the story of a past “dumb cunt”.

With the group together again, outright Nino says he doesn’t like secrets. Debate of who should tell what happened. It’s determined Flippy will tell it. Flippy begins: he met with Johnny and JJ and they were having a meeting with the Russians: Boris, Dio (Boris’ nephew), and Bogo(Aleksander Bogorov?). Dio verbally disrespected Johnny, who spoke to Boris about the lack of respect. Dio continued the disrespect and Boris let it happen. A lesson was to be learned: they planned to kidnap Dio. [Meanwhile, as Nino learns through Flippy what happened, both Johnny and JJ slowly back away from the group, namely Nino.] Flippy learns from Olga, a second-in-command of the Russian group, that she knew about that meeting and that the Russians are looking for someone. The trio find this someone, give her location to the Russians, then discover the Russians took this someone to the Bean Machine. Jay, Johnny, and Flippy masked up and kidnapped Dio from the burger place. Scuff happened, and only Johnny was able to drive. They drove to the docks from the southside and were pulled over for speeding by Kael Soze. Masked, Dio handcuffed in the back, all blacked out, illegal plates – they decide to make a break for it and shoot the cops. [Nino walks closer to Johnny and Jay, who both immediately move to the other side of the circle again, keeping distance.] Although 3 cops go down and they get away, a police heli spotted them at their next location, the dam, and they make another break for it but with low petrol. The car was the same as the one at the docks and they had been spotted with Dio at the dam.

Johnny takes a walk behind the brick wall of the drink bar. Nino questions why the fuck this didn’t go well and the missing preparations. Nino asks why he wasn’t contacted after this all went down. Johnny explains they figured they could handle it, and it wasn’t going to affect the business. Okay.

“So, JJ and Cassle got criminal records now,” Curtis finishes the story. At this, Johnny and Jay are quick to place the bar brick wall between them and Nino. Nino outbursts and requests the full end of the story. Flippy continues on to say they were caught. So they couldn’t outsource this? Nino says this sucks, and he’s disappointed he wasn’t emailed right after the situation. Even if there are fuck-ups, Nino needs to know.

JJ speaks about Dio – he still wants to go after him, as Dio spoke to Johnny and JJ after they were released from prison. “You know what that fucking prick said to me? He told me to know my place, and no fucker gets to say that to me.” monkaS JJ.

Nino says he wants Boris. The guy can’t control Dio, a “reckless fucking cunt” – this is a problem. What is this guy’s deal? Is he a nobody? Who is he? Nino decides he’ll talk to Boris.

Nino says he doesn’t give a shit about their records. A while ago, the city was different. It’s changed now, the value of being clean. “As far as I’m concerned, I’m not saying – I’m not green-lighting ya’ll motherfuckers going out there and just clapping everybody you see, for whatever fucking reason, my point is, if we have to get our hands a little bit dirtier, if we have to bark a little bit harder, and if we have to do so at the end of the barrel of a gun, so be it. I don’t give a fuck. As long as we consider the consequences.”

JJ has set up a racing sponsorship for Sahara, and has himself, Nino, Johnny, Curtis, and Miles listed as drivers.

Leah Strong, Fastlane owner and chair-owner of BBC. Saab left LS recently. She’s good with business and will need some help along with Kanye Mushkin in the future. Payne is working on Sahara’s latest request.

Meet with Vinny and Randy. Payne showed the cops and judges the new legal warehouses. Well that’s not suspicious at all, good going Payne. In other news, Payne also got high on coke and told everyone he killed Buck Colton and like 4 other people. Nino silently spins around and walk away, still puffing on his cigarette. Everyone runs after Nino and they continue the conversation. From this, Eugene now knows as Payne decided to bring him into his crew and Gomer learns his brother is dead. Discussion on wtf Payne was/is thinking.

JJ and Curtis dip and Nino, Johnny, and Randy take a drive. Randy’s dodo bird egg. Mona. Gotta fire Allen, says Johnny. He’s not doing anything and taking money from the account. Randy changes his outfit and Johnny picks up a woman’s number. Convenience store, lots of people. Nino cuts lines and insults a guy’s coat. Maybe Johnny vs Claire in a race, 10k bet, both GTRs. Dexx call. Race begins – seconds in, Johnny fires some shots, taking down Claire and breaking the rules of the race. Pillbox for Claire then she fixes their car as they try out the silencer. More spinouts/drifts. Car change. Pulled over, Randy tries to bribe the cop with cocaine. It doesn’t work, Randy hits the gas, and Randy shows off the “Randy twist,” losing their tail. Car change, outfit change. Randy stabs a guy?? They dip again and go to the gun store. Car change. More fun and chaos. Taken down by an ATV: EMT. Nino chats with BCSO Henri King, who showed at Harmony.

Some dish on Coop from Claire – the ex-judge has been talking. Claire knows about Sahara and the Sonya prison break?! They stop in an empty parking lot and Nino pulls Johnny and Randy to the side; tf Coop?! Back in the car, Nino continues the conversation with Claire. Apparently, an angry Coop told Claire he would “make her disappear” and also mentioned Nino’s name and his business. WTF. Well. Trust gone.

**Legal Representation:**

TL;DR: Nino and Johnny meet with Murphy Braun to put the past in the past and look towards the future.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

“Law Firm of Crane, O’Banion & Braun” seen in YP. Nino, Johnny, Randy, and Claire meet with Murphy Braun. Nino and the lawyer agree to leave their problems in the past and move forward. Murphy says he cares about reputation. Nino says he doesn’t give a shit. Nino gives a scenario for Murphy to react. Then Nino requests Randy and Claire step away, leaving just himself, Johnny, and Murphy. The lawyer to explain what happened with Sonya. Murphy replies Sonya doesn’t talk to the cops and has limited credibility if she testifies in court. In the past, Murphy had a gun to his head during the prior situation with Arthur. Nino says there are no more problems with Sonya anymore – “I took her life, and I brought it back.”

“At the end of the day, I’m about the future. What makes business happen, what makes the future continue, what makes us both prosperous. The only thing that matters to me is whether we can move forward and whether we’re willing to work together.” Nino needs to know he can trust Murphy, even with a gun to the lawyer’s head. Nino reminds of one of Funnyman’s missions, and that Murphy is still alive. Nino offers an agreement to Murphy – it’s his choice to take it or leave it.

“My business is all about information – I know a lot of things, I keep a lot of secrets. I don’t go around telling people what I know; I use that information to move things to where they need to go,” Murphy says, adding on that he is amendable if there is benefit.

Later, Nino and Johnny take a drive in the f40. They discuss Coop running his mouth. Coop robbed shit? Nino becomes quiet, speeding along the highway. Crash, repair. Johnny keeps talking. Nino took a huge risk picking up Sonya…and Coop has shown no respect. Even Randy hasn’t ever spoken to his tight-knit Chang Gang family about Nino. Even Curtis and the Leanbois. Even Vinny. Nino and Johnny scour for a logical reason for Coop’s actions. Maybe Coop has never been Nino’s friend…

Harmony for a touch up on the car. Meet back up with Randy and Claire, who were pulled over. Nino distracts as Claire and Randy escape. Hang with Johnny, Randy, and Claire more. Nino and BCSO McCree have a conflict followed by McCree hitting Nino with his car. Pillbox visit. Nino speaks with Sergeant Angel about the situation. Angel brings McCree over to apologize and he remarks he didn’t swear by the PD oath just before he gets berated by Angel.

Rolling again with Johnny, Randy, and Claire. Weed ‘party’. Simon offers coke. At a nearby bank, Nino pays Simon 2k then uses the bank counter for the cocaine. Sahara office. F40. Talk with Simon on smoking weed. Nino asks what Simon wants his legacy to be. Nino gives his story on how everything in life revolves around pussy. Stop at a convenience store: Tyrone and Mona.

Calls a Matilda to buy a car. Calls someone, Beatrice, who identifies as a witch. PDM to look at cars. Mona and Nino leave on the hunt for coke. Talk on 6-seater cars. Mona grabs some coke from her apartment in Integrity and they enjoy. T-boned and Nino pulls a gun on the other driver and passenger, going off on them. She fixes the car. Talk on relationships. Talk on what she does for Cassle – she’s his secretary. Visit to the hobo area under the bridge – lot of people hanging out for some reason. They hold events and championships for the hobo community. Convenience store again / food truck.

Calls a realtor, Maddy Lawson. Meets and asks for quote on the Playboy Mansion.

### **Episode 124 [Aug 29, 2020]**

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/725343729?t=0h11m23s

[not collection]

**Executive Summary: Johnny loops in Nino on the latest and the two also meet with some other people in the city such as Curtis, Speedy, Coop, Siz, Saab and Tyrone to check in. Nino learns about Coop’s recent lifestyle decisions and reminds the ex-judge of his place. Legal pawn shop business with a hidden backend illegal aspect potentially coming soon. Hanging with the boys. A few trips to the Cave. Otto’s brought into the plaza idea and subsequently Nino, Johnny, and JJ find themselves in a multi-million dollar deal. Ghost makes a dark web opportunity proposition. A successful hit. Coop takes another try at conversation with Nino. Speedy and Nino talk on respect and unbreakable bonds. Nino wants the over hundred bricks moved by Speedy’s top boys.**

**Catch Up from Johnny:**

TL;DR: Johnny introduces private security driver Miles to Nino and loops him in on a few people and events.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Johnny picks up Nino. A second van follows, driven by Miles, private security / driver who also works for Cluckin’ Bell. “Trustable guy, doesn’t poke his nose too far,” Johnny says. Where’s the cocaine?! Johnny has been laying low with that stuff so doesn’t have any on him at the moment. The city’s been on fire lately apparently. “Sales are good, but we’re not producing.” Numbers have stagnated. Miles gets 50k a week? JJ is in hiding?!

Johnny heads inside to grab some coke and Miles Landon walks over to introduce himself, offering an ignored handshake. Seconds later he moves away a few feet and copies Nino, pulling out a cigarette of his own. Into Miles’ blacked out vehicle and back on the move. Allen’s been away and Boris has actually been doing paperwork along with Johnny. They drive past an active shootout. Johnny answers a call as Nino tries to learn more about Miles. Melanie Rogers’ name? Johnny’s talking to her boyfriend – another random call he usually gets. Nino wants the number. Miles parks; Nino and Johnny walk to a secluded area and Nino places a call to the guy who just called Cassle. Nino questions why his name was brought up – guy says he just wanted to meet with Johnny and that Johnny brought up the girlfriend thing. Nino writes a note, “kill him,” and shares with Johnny. Uh oh the dude refuses to hang up. A few moments later Nino wins. Johnny says he last spoke to that guy like half a year ago.

We don’t know when JJ will be back. A job concerning an aircraft carrier, given to the crew led by Curtis, failed and a package arrived at JJ’s front door – the same day he goes missing. So now he’s in hiding. Onto Cluckin’ Bell – Boris has his own crew running the place and has a warehouse disconnected from Payne; it’s linked to Vinny instead. Payne and Vinny are working together on warehouses again. Locks were changed on one of CG’s properties. We might want to check the key locks to our Sahara office… Why, is Payne simply being petty? What the hell is his endgame here?

Gomer a possible new manager for Cluckin’ Bell. Johnny phone call with Curtis. At the office, our key still works. Johnny given a key. Johnny has a separate office for potential startups and such. Talk on names. Planning for the future.

Curtis. Coke, talk on women and Melanie from earlier. Talk on JJ and also the mission. Botched job is a botched job. It was Curtis, Flippy, Vagos Mike Wadum, Mary Mushkin. A successful stealth boat and rifle rounds. Now there’s a guy stuck in max sec from this job who needs transported out. Curtis to keep a reliable crew with good chemistry at bay, ready at a moment’s notice. Crew members to be vetted through Nino and/or Johnny.

Speedy. Talk on horses. Struggle of materials. Vagos and ESB war soon? Would affect business. Even Speedy himself has been working in the chop shop yet the time needed isn’t short. New boys in ESB with no respect have been enjoying shooting the Vagos as Benji, a Vagos, owns the same car as some other guy burns/drifts in the ESB hood. Though it’s a different guy, they disregard this. They only “care about money” and chop shop. Speedy feels he needs to protect his boys and this activity has gone on long enough. “I have learned to be smarter than my enemy,” says Speedy. Johnny mentions going after the money and people producing. Speedy is short on class 2s. Not much else to update on, normal wars and shit as of late. Nino takes a look at Speedy’s Yamaha R1.

At the cement factory, Nino tells Johnny there was no need for him to talk on the business with Speedy. Although what Speedy does may affect business, we cannot divulge our operations: gotta keep the relationship simple and not get involved on our side. They talk on the positives and negatives that can come from monopolization of material production. Johnny’s been working on a night crew for chopping to help competition. Ammo is bought in bulk and usually finds itself in the hands of one gang at a time. Producing ammo is not in bulk and the weight needs managed. Nino sees an opportunity to set up a warehouse for legal pawn – and hidden illegal trade. Johnny says ammo breaks down quickly, 3-4 days or so. Pink taxi spotted but it drove away.

Coop is greenlit? Nino cannot remember giving him access. So what does he do? Gonna need to talk, “Coop did some crazy shit”. Johnny takes out some ammo from a house of Speedy’s and they plan to test the degradation. Miles pulls the car over and takes a smoke break out of earshot. “Coop robbed Paleto bank and the big vault with CG.” Hahaha. Johnny repeats. Silence. Johnny confirms. Well he’s fired. Seems he was trying to prove himself on the streets, potentially for Sahara and JJ/Johnny. Coop told Johnny he “knew Sahara wasn’t 100% legal” and did the job to demonstrate he “could be trusted”. Coop said this was him ‘proving himself to Nino’. Okay, Coop’s out. Coop wants to live all the lives: judge, cop, bank robber, and now work for Sahara… Nino steps out of the car and rings Coop, who doesn’t answer. Miles calmly walks back to the vehicle and stands alongside, at the ready. Towards the Richmond hotel to pick up Nino’s Ferrari.

Automated call from Bryce advertising his “Bryce Miller Love Tours”. Nino doesn’t give a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ and the message begins to loop.

**Pawn Warehouse Shop and Auctions:**

TL;DR: Nino and Johnny discuss the potential of a pawn shop with a frontend and backend. Also auctions.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

We need some good legal representation. Now at the hotel, Nino takes out…half of his Ferrari. Johnny to link up with Payne to get a large warehouse for their pawn plan. Location for it to be maybe up north. Talk on setting up stock: collectibles and stuff. Overproduction by a bit is fine. Some stuff to be auctioned.

Same dude from like over a month ago pulls up on a motorbike and says he hasn’t been having much luck finding pussy for Nino. Well he’s got 1 hour starting now.

Johnny says we’re getting 60 bricks/month at 10k/per. Nino gets excited – we can make some extra cash here. Auction house. Backend: private auction, multiple crates. Bids on the crates, in which the contents are only generally known.

Call from Eugene, Sahara’s number one intern. No work though. Maybe Eugene will come up with a job of his own to help the company.

Okay back to talking on the pawn. Frontend: items traded per values shown per a matrix. Some on-demand. Incorporation of deterioration element. Documented in a ledger. Then, after the frontend trade, they’re given a drop location for the second trade. The drop location will vary, and will be on a changing table, differing each week. Ideally, the sale is made 100% legally in the front office and bulk loading is from the warehouse in the back. So, if someone orders 5 of “X,” that is what is marked in the ledger – legal. However, that particular item, “X,” represents a different, illegal item that only the backend people know. We can also keep track of any suspicious names.

Example at Cluckin’ Bell garage. This garage is strictly just storage for materials.

Auctions: in warehouse, invite-only, all attendees are masked with hidden identities. Auctions could also be in the open.

We need a location – feel of an outdoor marketplace for foot traffic: refreshments on deck and always stocked. Needs to not feel like a simple pawn shop. Johnny has some ideas for places. Crash, Claire comes to repair. Nino and Johnny switch to her car and scout for a good plaza.

Marcus call. Tuner shop to pick up fixed car. Call from dude who Nino wanted to kill earlier, Calogero “C” Vercetti. Curtis and his adopted son Alex join. Eugene and Kanye now. Call from Simon, who claims Coop is his father: instead of getting a lesson, he gets an assignment on Coop. Wait, who’s his mother? Carmella. Beep. Nino requests a sidebar with Curtis, who Nino tells about Simon. He’s adopted by Coop, so who’s the father? Vanilla Unicorn stop. There’s a bunch of men but no women. Nino has Johnny call Simon for an ‘interview’. More coke. Simon arrives, Eugene wonders why the fuck someone is being interviewed when there apparently isn’t even work for him to do. To a clothing store, where Simon is instructed to dress like Curtis. Nino pulls Johnny aside who says Curtis was the one talking. Gun out, Nino heads for Simon before he’s stopped a few seconds later. So how are we gonna figure out if Nino or Curtis is the father? “I push a lot of shit,” says Simon randomly. He moves some coke. Test for Simon: get a car from PDM as fast as possible and don’t take no shit. Nino says when he tells Simon to do something, he does it without questions. PDM. No car salesman, back into the Granger. Simon now taken to Marcus at Harmony for his test. Round 1 ends in a fist fight. Round 2 begins with Marcus bringing heat. Fist fight again that ends in both of them on the floor. EMS arrives and before they take off Johnny easily gets a woman Meg’s number.

Oxy at Integrity. Coop! For like a minute. Johnny and Curtis. Talk on Coop and all the signs of him being a loose end. Curtis given recognition by Nino. Coop called over and when he shows Nino is quick to ask him what’s up with him and if he’s okay. Coop planning some business and needs to sell some illegals…? “Throw him in the car.” The ex-chief of police is cuffed and put in the backseat. “Who are you working with?!” Johnny checks for wires. Coop says he’s confused about what’s going on and seems quite calm for the situation as he considers Nino’s paranoia correlated with coke use. Coop chalks up his past actions to being emotional. Sidebar with Johnny and Curtis. Maybe Coop’s working with the cops? He was in the force less than a year ago… The three think through some possible scenarios before Nino says he doesn’t recognize Coop anymore. Nino tests Coop’s trust. Just gonna keep Coop comfortable now, as he doesn’t seem fit.

The four take out a boat. Nino expresses his unease with not knowing what Coop is planning on doing with Sahara. Where did Coop get this idea that Nino was into shady shit? Nino reminds Coop of his place and says Cluckin’ Bell driver trucks are available. “It’s not just the business I’m protecting, it’s my entire fucking family. I know we’ve been friends, but don’t ever fucking test my judgement. I don’t give a fuck if you think you did or didn’t. Because the way that I operate, it’s my word or there’s no word.” Coop to start work under Boris at Cluckin’ Bell. Coop also to listen to commands from Nino, Johnny, and Curtis. Coop agrees then continues to move his mouth. Nino fires his friend; he’s nowhere close to ready.

Meet with Siz along with Johnny and Curtis. Wait why are we meeting with Siz? Is he willing to kill cops when given class 2s? Yes, perfect. Ammo doesn’t degrade anymore. Siz to get jobs when jobs come available. Cougar shot. Cop car shows. They recognize Siz, who’s wanted, and Curtis takes off with Siz in the backseat of the Granger. 2 cop cruisers take chase and Nino and Johnny enjoy the show below from atop the mountain. Who called the shots in anyway? Lydia Vale was the officer, says Johnny. 50k for her life, Nino returns. Nino calls Saab for a pickup. Curtis to be brought further into the fold; he’s loyal af. Randy maybe too if he wakes up.

**Linking with Saab:**

TL;DR: Nino and Johnny meet with Saab to get on the same page. Saab still has his BBC business and is given the contract from Nino to kill Vale.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Saab picks up Nino and Johnny. Some people are making conclusions about BBC. Talk on the taco shop, which has just been shut down / closed. Cleaning money. Fast Lane. Saab has a useful business and a service. Saab says the LB moved into the SS with ideas to involve the family – these all fall apart. Flippy left the Vagos, Buddha picked Speedy, who was after Flippy as he left, and Curtis being a good friend of Flippy, this caused a rift, some shots between the LB, Curtis chose to leave the LB, Saab and Curtis shot each other. Nino says Curtis is under Sahara protection now – he’s off limits now.

“Shit happens, shit pops off. The only thing I care about is some level of balance. Certain people are protected – hell, I even protect you,, believe it or not, Buddha as well, along with a handful of others. Once that balance falls off its scales, I’ve got a problem. All I’m asking is, Curtis and Flippy: they’re off limits. If there is a direct problem with you, you let me know, you email if you need to; don’t start anything with them. I’ll get it sorted. Even if that means putting a bullet in the back of their head.”

Meeting to be had with the LB to get on the same page with everyone. Nino learns Payne gave a certain property to the LB – okay Payne’s dead. Nino plans on asking for another property from Payne, and if he doesn’t deliver, dead he is. Curtis was picked up from the PD and is now in jail. Nino thinks of putting out more hits. “There ain’t no justice, my man, except from the justice from a bullet to the back of your head. And I don’t care if you’re wearing a goddamn badge. It doesn’t matter to me, because at the end of the day, if one of my boys gets caught doing something that’s one thing, but if you go and try to grab one of my guys, while they’re minding they’re own business, well you know what we’ve got a problem now, and I’m not going to tell you that I’m the guy who put out the hit to make sure that you’re dead in the ground and making sure something’s wrong.”

Nino gives the 50k contract for Vale’s body to Saab. Picture to be included. Saab drops them off, car switch.

To the cave. Shooting off some rounds for fun.

Call with ESB Tyrone. Meet in their cal-de-sac. Meets Klaus. What’s up with ESB and the Vagos? Disrespect brings the smoke, says Tyrone. Benji was promoted to the top while Speedy was out of town apparently. Squash the shit, “at the end of the day, fuck your boys, it’s me, you, and Speedy right now you know what I mean, at the top of the pyramid. Fuck the boys. We’ve gonna protect our own at the end of the day. But let’s come to a goddamn resolution. There’s some shit being shaken up. And right now the only thing that’s in our path is the goddamn feds”. Hold your fire for now, we’re going to have a talk with Speedy. There’s more money to be made. 50k contract of Vale’s death given to Tyrone now. ESB good with LB, Tyrone says, except for their renting houses to cops… “You, me, the other people running their crews, we only got one enemy at the end of the day, and that’s the goddamn feds.” Nino reminds who the true enemy is. If it’s gang gang, Tyrone to let Nino know to get it sorted. “At the end of the day, worst comes to worst, every motherfucker gonna be going against that Mission Row PD, Vinewood PD, fucking Los Santos PD – I’ll fucking blow that shit up before I am done. You feel what I’m saying? Cause they’re all our enemy.”

Siz’ court case. Nino doesn’t seem to give much fucks about court decorum and keeps talking in the back then offering to help Siz’ lawyer Crane with the case. Continuous back and forth with the judge and PD. Everyone’s thrown out except the troublemaker, who is called up to the stand to testify for Siz.

Otto. Nino stands just outside the court house talking to Otto. Talk on gold bars back in the day, taco shop, loyalty. Officer Jim Underwood invites himself to an argument as he comes over to request Nino and Otto leave. They end up staying and instead the PD leaves. Talk on Coop and Siz. Underwood comes back with Malton and tasers. Johnny in the back of a cop car? He’s uncuffed and joins Nino and Otto in the Granger. Just down the street, a crowd of people has gathered. Fuck this, fuck that. Nino wants to blow everyone up. Nino considers using Curtis, Johnny, Flippy, and JJ to hit the PD as they transport Siz to prison. Nah, not enough material right now to do the job. He’ll have to do time, and we’ll just redirect the job to the judge.

Nino, Johnny, Curtis, and Otto roll in the Gallivanter. Talk continues on Siz. Nino changes the job to the two officers rather than the judge. They head to the coffee shop, where JJ is. Curtis leaves, JJ joins. He’s still in his disguise so they make a trip to a clothing store. Nino reassures JJ he’ll get another chance at the aircraft carrier mission. Introductions for Otto. Nino says Speedy is not to be touched. Nino shares the plaza pawn shop idea as a social hub with Otto. Talk on Arthur. The four take a look at a possible plaza and Nino explains. Talk on Payne. Text from a Nicky Scottega who says he say Nino in the YP – he has a “legit distribution business” and wants to chat. Nino calls the number and immediately requests Nicky hangup. Talk on the VU and the leak. Back to talk on pawn shop. Backers are Sahara. Otto is interested. He might have stuff he wants pushed through this system too. Cocaine. To the cave with Johnny and JJ. Nino calls up Nicky again and directs him to Johnny.

Inner monologue:

“People think my life is easy; it’s not. My entire life revolves around others, making sure that my decisions don’t put them in a bad place. Get them into a position I don’t want them to be. It may sound selfish, and sometimes, may seem as though it’s all about me, when in reality it’s all about them. What you do, your decisions, they’ve got bigger impacts than anyone would ever imagine them to be. If I’ve gotta put a gun in my hand , clap some motherfuckers, you know I would do it, and I would. But I’ve got a lot of people depending on me.” “I only wish life choices could be as easy as they may seem – getting them off the path, taking them off the path. Those solutions, the ones that seem so straight forward, those ain’t realistic. Fuck my life.” “I’ve been running this business from LS for a year and a half. I don’t wanna be here, I don’t… I look around, I see multi-million dollar pieces of equipment. I’ve got more money than I know what to deal with. More responsibility, that feeling, that knowledge, that responsibility that I’ve been taught since day one – the day I starting selling coke. Just because you are okay, doesn’t mean the rest are okay. You’re responsible for them, never forget that. Don’t forget you’re responsible.”

Nino returns a missed call, “Why you calling me?” YP.

Continue inner monologue:

“The thing that doesn’t resonate with a lot of individuals – that people don’t realize, is that each and every life, and every person, they are my responsibility, and that they are my benefactors. If they get hurt, it’s on me. It’s not about loyalty to me, it’s about loyalty to the decisions that I make, that keeps them safe. I don’t care about myself, if I did, if it was about me, I’d be long gone.” “Imagine telling one of your loved ones, how much you cared for them. It’s sentimental, it’s a feeling that may resonate for a moment but it’s not a feeling, it’s not an action that’s gonna result in your friend living or dying. Take Johnny, for example. As I stand here wondering, Johnny, a guy that’s worked for me as long as he has, worked tirelessly, stand over here questioning why he’s doing what he’s doing. It’s not my ego talking, it’s me saying, ‘Johnny, I don’t want you to die, I don’t want our business to get hurt. I don’t want those under us to be hurt.’ It’s a hard life to live. What do you do? I remember as a kid, in middle school, sitting back, thinking life was nothing but simple desires. But as life went on, as circumstances represented itself, the things I got into, things I would have never imagined myself being into, became the reality of my life, the responsibilities only grew. And it was difficult. It was difficult even to explain to myself, that what I was doing was right. What am I gonna do?”

Johnny, JJ, and Flippy for the crew. Flippy is still being tested so he’s not to know everything.

“Hello, Mr. Chavez.” Nino receives a call from a PN. “A long time ago, an associate of mine brought you a very specific tool, one that I believe you gave to a Alabaster Slim. You may know an alt associate of mine. It is unfortunate you don’t remember my name, but to remind you: I am prospector(?), Ghost.” So, business? “I always have business. Numerous operations that need the utmost care. I held a mean of your stature would be familiar with the dark web.” Nino says the DW fell apart. Ghost agrees, and says he had found it rather useful for communication back in the day. He offers a potential line of business if Nino finds his way onto the DW. Codeword: Cherry, for Ghost to recognize Nino online. “There’s a lot going on, Mr. Chavez – I hope you’re willing to jump in the rabbit hole.” Nino returns he has a lot going on too. “What is the music of life, Mr. Chavez?” “Chaos, the unknown, the challenge, all the things that keep us feeling alive.” “Then we’re certainly on the same page. I’ll speak to you soon, there’s a lot to talk about.” He hangs up.

Continue inner monologue:

“My life: chaos. And I don’t even lift a gun anymore. But the decisions I’ve gotta make on the daily – it runs me over."

Johnny and JJ are ready for the job. Otto is waiting for a ping. The two J’s to go to the location and pick it up. Flippy to join and some random Olga to be the driver. The Gallivanter leaves the Cave with Nino, JJ, and Johnny. Garage Q they part, and Nino stays on the radio channel to listen in. Crash into Julio, Julio repairs. Crash into Tyrone in Benny’s, he gives money. Nino somehow makes it with his driving to a bank and withdraws 10k. Returns Rocket Bunny car to garage and takes out GTR. Crash. Over the radio Johnny says “destination reached” then “holy fuck”. New radio channel given to Nino. 108 bricks, Johnny says. Nino says to split up the package and have all four take a fourth and transport it and store in their own manners securely. Tyrone comes to repair the GTR. More driving. Crash. Continue inner monologue: “So easy to imagine my life…but, if you only lived in my shoes, you’d understand.” Crash. Where the fuck is gun, fuck this shit. Yet another repair. Crash. Repair. Benny’s. Fuck these cars. Crash. Staying down this time. Eventually, Underwood shows and EMS arrives. Hits on EMT Ginny and plans to meet tomorrow.

JJ and Johnny pick up Nino from Pillbox. Nino wants a look at the package from Otto. To the cave for the first batch. Picks up LMG. The trio waits in a covered bridge for Otto. He arrives, specifies he wants it all turned into crack and that it can be used in the plaza idea. Talk on drugs and drunk Nino. Tyrone calls to say he has Vale – Nino requests a video of her end.

Coop calls, he noticed he was fired. Who are you, wanna party?

Nino with Johnny and JJ: “We’re gonna roll in deep, real soon. Cause I’m over this bullshit. We’re bringing in the crew – the lions are gonna be roaring, We’re gonna be fucking ripping faces. I’m done with this shit.”

Johnny wires 50k to Tyrone. Speaks to Vale, Mack, Svenson, and some other officers at MRPD. Mack says he wants to talk. Argument with Underwood / Wideguy from earlier continues. Now talk with Mack, who says Thalia is dead. By who? He doesn’t know. Who the fuck killed Thalia? All we know is that it was just some guy in a mask. “She’s gone gone?” “Yup, she’s gone.” Nino goes on a tangent with Johnny listening as they drive away.

**Coop’s Place:**

TL;DR: Coop takes another shot at conversation with Nino – will he choose to start a business relationship with Nino or decide to keep his friendship?

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Coop calls, he’ll be at the VU. Nino on Coop to Johnny: “It’s a hard place I’m in. A place I don’t want to be in. I never asked for this, I never put myself here – I was just trying to survive and I found myself in a place where I had to survive by doing what I do. And now I’m here, I’m selling things I don’t want to sell and I’m in a place where I cannot leave. And I don’t regret it for a moment. But I don’t want my friends going down the path I have, if they’re not ready for it. I love Coop, I’ve grown up with the guy, he’s not ready for this life...”

Johnny replies, “This life – it picks and chooses who it decides to bring in. If you’re not up for the task, the offer really doesn’t come to you. I feel in life, if you’re meant to go down a certain route, you get given the opportunities, you get put in fucking certain situations, you can’t force it. Somebody like Coop, Coop’s trying to force this, but end of the day it’s a headache: it’s work.”

Coop calls Johnny.

Johnny continues, “Everyone wants to be at the fucking top. At the end of the day, once you’re at the fucking top, all you want to do is go back down. The top is a fucking struggle, it really is.”

Nino and Johnny meet with Coop at the VU. Coop says he’s put in a lot of work with Johnny. Nino tells Coop he’s the bitch. “You are not my friend, at this point,” Nino walks to the side and lets Johnny take over the conversation. Business relationship begun. Nino reminds Coop he does care about him. “Now, understand one thing, Coop. This is not something you’re gonna take lightly. This is not something you are gonna survive. In fact, by the time we’re done with this, you’re gonna be asking to leave. You are going to be telling me, ‘this is not the life I want to live,’ – you are going to be telling yourself, ‘this is a massive fucking mistake’. And the last thing you are gonna do is to call me up and ask me to bail you out. Because that is no longer going to be an option. You understand what I’m saying? Now, do you want in, or do you want out?”

“I’m in.”

Johnny takes the lead – he plans to have a conversation with Coop, Allen, and Boris for Cluckin’ Bell operations. Johnny and Nino reiterate Coop’s place.

Dexx is heard. Nino requests a gun. Outside, Johnny spots some people to the left. Dexx strolls up and they make their way back inside. Nino, Dexx, and Johnny talk in the office. They miss Chef. Nino says he has business respect for both Chef and Dexx. This city is changing, and Nino wants Chef and Dexx at the forefront.

Nino and Johnny leave Coop at the VU. Nino has plans for Grove, the LB, and the ESB. Johnny turns in and Nino speeds on the road. Crash. Crowd of people and EMS. After a visit to Pillbox, Dexx calls to say he caught who caused the crash. More driving, more crashes.

Another phone call with Coop. Nino asks if this is something Coop really wants. He’s “doing his own thing now” and “needs something to do”.

Parks on sidewalk, chats with Mack and Vale. Talk on SS, balance, and taco shop. Comes across Speedy and they plan to hang out. Some crashes, some repairs, some visits to Benny’s. Calls up Olga Sazkaljovich listed on YP as Harmony repair and a buyer for materials. No answer.

**Unbreakable Bond:**

TL;DR: Nino hangs with Speedy. Squash all bullshit, we’ve got plans.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino hangs with Speedy and tells him they need to move over a hundred bricks. “The time has come, you don’t need to know how big the organization is, but if they fuck with any of us, we’re gonna fucking shut every and each fucking cunt down. Each and everyone of these motherfuckers don’t understand what we have been holding out on. Speedy, we’ve got one of the most powerful gangs in the goddamn city. They don’t know where the trafficking is coming from. They don’t understand what has been held back, and quite frankly – I’m done with it. They want to fuck with the fucking family? Let the hail and the flames hit their fucking face and see whether they want to deal with that or not. They don’t want to fuck with this, they really don’t.” Speedy is fucking ready. Nino continues, “The future is here now – let’s make that happen”.

Speedy says he has no problem now with Flippy; they have old respect. Some guy named DJ caused some chaos. “Speedy, I’m done with the bullshit of this city. I’m ready to extend my arms and flex. And Speedy, you are an extension of where I am. Flippy, he’s a good guy. Curtis, good guy. Here’s where I see ourselves: it’s gonna pop off in the next couple weeks. I know you have trouble getting equipment. Let’s squash that bullshit, we’ve gotta bigger fish to fry…we’ve got bigger plans, and I want you as a part of it.” “I rather you be hungry, we’ve been through a lot, you and me Speedy. And that bond is never gonna break. I promise you that, it’s never gonna break.” Talk on respect. Talk moves back to the crack – Speedy says he can move it. Speedy to get whatever he needs for it. “Remember when I brought that bat to your head, and I remember asking myself, ‘am I gonna end this guy’s life?’ But here’s the thing – you, my friend, somebody I trust –“ Speedy cuts him off and tells to take cover, a car was heard. Nino strolls out the front of the property and pulls a gun, surprising Speedy. Apparently the taco shop takes pig meat now? And some boys were just here to steal some pigs. Nino reassures that great things lie ahead. Nino again talks on the crack – best boys for this, and this shit needs moved fast. Talk again on the bond they share, and Nino’s appreciation for Speedy’s respect and truth in what he says. “I trust you, I know you trust me. If anyone gets in the way, you have problems, you let me know, Those problems will disappear very quickly.” Nino wants the over hundred bricks of crack moved by Speedy’s top boys. One week to plan. “We need to make sure it works out. And if anyone gets in the way, I don’t give a FUCK who it is. We can get them clapped.” Speedy gives some coke. Speedy shows energy, he’s ready!

Nino pulls away, enjoys some cocaine, and parks on a sidewalk to speak to Mack and Dundee, the latter of which doesn’t remember Nino initially.

### **Episode 123 [Jul 24, 2020]**

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/689500130

[not collection]

**Executive Summary: Nino flies in to Los Santos to speak with several of his boys and get up-to-date. He learns Payne’s warehouses are associated with illicit activities.**

First things first. Coke. Vinny, JJ, Curtis, Cassle. Talk on a couple drinks, couple lines, couple broads. They arrive to their destination: Payne’s the host for a party. Flippy’s here, so are 6 women… 102 baggies cocaine! That number goes down. The boys say yesterday a job fair was held for the company. Boris hired for head of security. Nino recommends Steele as foreman. More people show to party, including Speedy. Car is driven into the pool and attempts to save the remaining coke in the trunk are futile.

**Payne’s Mistake:**

TL;DR: Nino learns of a shitshow surrounding Payne and the warehouses.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

[Issues with TS so] Payne takes his leave, but first tells Nino “everything is nice and secure” and “nothing to be concerned about”. Nino isn’t to trust what Vinny says, and the warehouses are okay. “A lot of shit that happened.” Out comes the bat. “You are not compromised…I just went solo…with my business”. After some more non-troubling phrases, he says “Don’t work with Eugene in any sort of capacity.”

“WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU EVER TELL THAT GUY ANYTHING!” Payne scrambles for an answer. Apparently, Eugene knows about everything, he had a warehouse, told others about the warehouses… Payne follows up by saying things were “resolved,” but Eugene is a “cockroach” and “rat”.

Sidebar with JJ and Cassle. The hell is with Payne? He’s “gone off the deep end”. To what extent. Public knowledge now that warehouses exist. Vinny told Payne Eugene had to go. Payne said he’s out, Vinny ran solo, Eugene’s keys were removed, Eugene started talking. Enter pettiness, says Cassle. Curtis and Flippy were helping Vinny by helping Payne: Payne wanted a crew. Vinny dipped, so then Curtis and Flippy wanted to dip. Payne didn’t like that at all. Payne just being Payne. Why was Eugene given a warehouse? Because “Payne thought he was worthy”.

Talk on the hardware distribution and the communication with Payne to create the access to these warehouses. Problem is that these warehouses seem to be currently mostly used for illicit purposes – need some legal ones to counteract. Basically the warehouses got out of control for Payne and the original intent. Salvageable though, says Nino. Need legal warehouses pronto: we’ll go first, chicken feed or whatever. Now onto Eugene: why? Vinny wanted Eugene dead – the warehouse that Eugene leaked was head of CG. Eugene had told Claire CG had a warehouse. Eugene felt he had nothing to lose so decided to talk to everyone. Payne into some shit now.

Are we affected by any of this? Not necessarily, but it could come back to us in the future, says JJ.

Vinny brought over. What’s about with Payne, asks Nino. “Too much of a control freak…with Eugene, Payne gets petty…and he brought Eugene to every single one of his old spots and…made Eugene connect the dots”. Curtis joins them. Vinny starts from the top. It was him, Payne, and Slim with the warehouses. Everything good. Then Eugene was followed to his warehouse – compromised. So 6 people were killed. Then Eugene was moved to a new warehouse. Then moved again. Then again. Slim and Payne had outside differences: Slim shot Payne. Vinny shot Slim. All alive still though. Then Buddha leaves the group. Wtf, Buddha? Oh, he was hired muscle, like Curtis and Flippy. That leaves just Vinny and Payne. Now riffs between them. Then Payne shows all the spots to Eugene and also exposes himself and the operation to Siz. Vinny’s unhappy, he thinks Siz is a not trustworthy. Then a situation with Eugene: he told people about warehouses and Vinny being a contact: Claire, Gazpacho. War with LB, as CG’s warehouse was brought into public view. 18 hours later LB surrender. Vinny not happy with Payne as CG too involved now. Vinny out, he blames Payne for this whole scenario.

So Payne fucked up. As did Eugene. Expectations weren’t drawn. Payne is solo and right now doing everything on his own. Say one of the cops hears about these warehouses – next thing you know renter(s) is/are fucked. Don’t deal with shit. So can we work with Payne, or do we kill him? Vinny recommends seeing what the realtor can do on his own for a bit. Payne has value, if he’s controlled properly.

Vinny wants Nino’s r35. Vlad changed the car market. Vlad a dude that has hella money.

**Ghost:**

TL;DR: Flippy and Vinny talk about a man known as “Ghost,” someone who offers missions and holds an strong dislike for Payne.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Flippy now. He wants to know about a “ghost,” the guy who has given missions. Flippy says he’s known JJ, Vinny, and Curtis for a long time. This ghost guy had requested Flippy to help him set up Payne. That was the same night Eugene fucked up. Ghost guy has followed Flippy and knows a lot. Flippy’s the connection for suppressors. Vinny gets a visit from Mona. Vinny says he’s had some prior contact with ghost guy – an individual who always talks bad shit on Payne, yet was a client of Payne’s. Flippy gives story of Eugene moving out – while on watch, ghost guy on bike tells Flippy he knew all about Flippy’s day. This guy could be a hitman hired by Eugene, who knows. Ghost guy identity a mystery, but we do know he wants to take Payne down.

Vinny says ghost guy is the AP connect. Mission given by ghost guy to Vinny: Fort Zancudo infiltration and retrieval of crates. Vinny turned the job down. Ghost guy works for Raja? Ghost guy does say he works through “Madam Widow”. Ghost guy is connected to Eugene; the latter is an AP connect. The job mentioned just earlier, for some reason it was requested Eugene be involved. Vinny shares the documents provided to him prior to the special mission. Essentially, the successful completion of the mission would allow for certain pieces of hardware. It’s signed M. Widow.

“Drivers,” “Woods,” “Knight Irons,” (?) as code names for weaponry, respective in order of largest size to smallest. Vinny says OTT is his material guy. Vinny blew up Dimitri and Harry with c4?! Cause of chop shop. OTT opportunity? Ramee has a gallery too, Nino agrees to back. Civ stuff is important.

Now with just JJ and Johnny. Circle is pretty large. Mini circle is still just Nino, JJ, and Johnny: good. Payne messed up, now he needs to fix the perspective of the warehouses. Nino says Raja used to get his weapons from M. Widow. Raja hasn’t been around, so Ghost might be the new connect? But why do we care, really? That business doesn’t overlap with ours significantly. They agree to keep tabs on Ghost, but no action needed at the moment.

**Business Pitches:**

TL;DR: Ramee and OTT both pitch their ideas for businesses to Nino and crew.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Yacht: Nino, JJ, Johnny, Ramee, Curtis, Vinny, Flippy, Allen. Ramee gives a pitch for his business he wants funded under Sahara: gallery and exotics. Ramee wants to put a plant in Fastlane; Ramee has differences with Red. Nino wants nothing to do with this drama on Fastlane. Setting something like this up takes time and work, Nino reminds.

Ramee shares a bag of coke with the group.

OTT arrives in a smart suit and gives his pitch for himself and a business for chopping materials. El Choppo with the materials. Vinny and Nino sidebar – they could get OTT a warehouse.

Nino, JJ, and Johnny are held at gunpoint by concrete mime at Garage T. Along with Vinny and Flippy they give chase in a van and take shots.

Johnny tells of the Rooster Cab company. Boris arrives, Nino interviews him for Cluckin’ Bell. Seems like a good fit. Allen is still overseeing, but Boris is hired. Steele might also be hired. Boris says that guy buys meth.

**Upcoming Crew:**

TL;DR: Nino, JJ, and Johnny visit their hidden bunker and discuss the creation of a crew for missions.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino, JJ, and Johnny visit their hidden underground. Hardware movement more effective than last update to Nino. Some more talk on guns. Demand is there, supply is good.

Curtis brought together a crew of himself, Mikey, Flippy, and Randy. Great as individuals, but as a collective not so much. Curtis left the LB, so he has more time to create a group, but JJ doesn’t want to rush it. Johnny says he had himself, Curtis, Vinny, and Randy do a job after JJ’s job. This group was smooth, with a clear leader, being Johnny. Need a crew to feel comfortable to rely on. A weird noise, they clear the area. No one. Back to the talk. Nino wants to circle Curtis in – give him more responsibility.

Coke is moving in LS. Johnny has a line to the product through Vinny. The trio leave the bunker, Nino taking some racing harnesses with him.

Nino meets with Allen, who gives him a life update. He’s checking into laundering money through his car dealership and other similar activities while maintaining a low profile. Allen wants to create a team for missions. Conversation to come with JJ, Johnny, Nino, and Allen. Allen says the cocaine market might be oversaturated. He’s establishing a network through these cocaine dealings.

Nino meets with Chang and Vinny. They actually have a chicken. Egg hunt. Nino wins, 50k transferred from Chang.

Upgrades for f40 Ferrari. Allen. Mel. Hunt for a tuner chip. Allen and Nino have fun with the new upgrades and tune in the rain. Coke. Operation Snatch – need a woman for Allen. A talking cat?! How much coke did they do… To Ballas territory. ESB to get Lean Street cul-de-sac, like 7 houses, from CG. SSB no more.

**Payne’s Review:**

TL;DR: Nino questions Payne’s choices and offers his business expertise. Just don’t fuck with his operations.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Meets with Payne. What’s going on with the warehouses? “Oh they’re good…I’ve got it all solved.” Favors being asked of him left and right. He admits he fucked up with Eugene. Nino listens, then says as long as Payne’s business remains [for the most part] apart from his, he won’t blow up and create an unnecessary situation. Payne is thinking of moving warehouses again. The realtor talks on his crew, the Payne Gang. Turn for his perspective. They fell apart – biggest issue was Eugene. CG went to war with LB as Eugene blabbed about the CG warehouse. End of the war, Eugene just like told everybody. Eugene’s knowledge came from “assumptions”. Names tied to Payne, like Curtis and Flippy.

You fucked up, says Nino. He warns of the danger of cops snooping. Nino gives the story of the cops snooping at Cluckin’ Bell when the factory first opened. So since we cannot control how the legal system operates, we have to be aware of external entities that affect business. We need legal warehouses to counter the stigma of all warehouses being illicit. There was no deterrence. Payne worries about the threats Eugene gives. Nino again gives the argument for legal warehouses to stabilize the idea of them. Most clients are gang members, replies Payne. I can get you businesses, says Nino. Payne mentions clients being “worthy”. Nino questions why Payne and Vinny had a 50/50 partnership deal, and if it was really 50/50. Coke.

Chats cars with Mask. Visits taco shop. GSF. The hell is in these dumpsters?!

Nino, Chang, and some Grove members plan an impromptu block party. Other people show in mere minutes. Good turnout.

Nino hangs out with Coop. The ex-judge is retired, calls himself a “bad boy now,” and is looking to maybe get more involved. Nino explains his Sahara business idea of helping others. Perhaps a focus on offering loans.

Meets Layla, a woman Coop presents to Nino. Altercation in front of Integrity, leads to Nino giving Coop the task of giving Four Tee a job at Cluckin’ Bell. Coop then leaves, but not before he quickly says Nino’s ex is dead.

Nino and Layla drive off in the Ferrari. He learns she attended the job fair yesterday for Cluckin’ Bell. Crash, tow called. She speaks Arabic, English, German, and Spanish. Tow guy shows.

Speedy gives coke to Nino and crack to Layla. Nino tells Layla he and Speedy have a strong friendship as they drive to Speedy’s ranch. After some talk on the opportunities the ranch provides, all three doing some lines, and a swim, Speedy takes them to see the fight club. Hyped by the cocaine, they drive to the VU. Random woman picked up on the way. Speedy shows the underground fight club and gives a tour. Also a new dude here. More coke. Nino stands outside the top office, leaning against the rail, as he observes Speedy and Brooke high on cocaine in the pit. He chats to a few people.

“That’s how I live my life, on the edge. You know the thing about life, right? It comes and it goes. People enter the business; they leave the business: whether dead, alive, or in pieces. Starting with a family, ending without one. And then others, well – they find themselves a group of individuals who they can trust and call brothers and sisters.”

“It’s hard to come by: a lot of family isn’t actually family, you know? Fake relationships – they’re a dime a dozen.”

“I remember a long time ago there was a guy who used to work for me. A real snake, that guy. He used to say all kinds of things that would make me believe for a moment…he had our back as much as we had his. But deep down we knew this guy was a fucking rat. He was a snake. When push came to shove, the guy was caught - let’s just say some things that he shouldn’t have been caught with, and instead of biting the punishment, you know, he ended up ratting us out. You know what happened to him? It’s funny you mentioned rats, you know the great thing about rats, they’re very smart creatures. They can find cheese…they can find it no matter what…so you get a couple smart rats, and you put a little bit of cheese inside this guy, the next thing you know you let him loose. The things those rats will do to another big fucking rat, haha. It’s beautiful to watch.”

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/684391924?t=17h3m13s

[not collection]

**Executive Summary: Nino enjoys a night in Los Santos with Marcus, a few women, and cocaine.**

Nino takes his F40 for a spin. Buys a bat. Fuck, out of coke. None in Integrity. Crash. Nino calls Kraytor from the yellow pages - his name had "LADY OF THE LAKE" next to it. Strike out, not a lady... Try number 2, Harvey from Harmony. Calls Harvey. Repair guy on the way. Calls Marcus Griffin.

Taxi pulls up to the curb, "are you alive?" Harvey shows and fixes the F40. Pays $1500 then speeds into a sign seconds later.

Marcus gives 10 advanced repair kits outside of Integrity. Marcus also works at Harmony, yet he uses a news van for work. Nino says get in the car. Bank: Nino gives Marcus 20k. Back in the car, Marcus says he has something to show. Where is coke? Marcus' connect dried up. To the yellow pages: calls Tyrone Biggums. Coke? Tyrone laughs, he has Nino saved in his phone as "Cokehead". Nino gets background on ESB/SSB split. Marcus drives them to Fudge Lane.

Arrival to Fudge Lane. 4 baggies handed silently over by Tyrone - Nino pays 4k. Potential work for the group in the future.

Back in the F40. Nino cuts some lines and offers some to Marcus. Nino tweets for ecstasy and gets a bunch of tweets back. Marcus gives a Discord channel: https://discord.com/invite/xrJKJf - "Benchmark Racing". Marcus is setting up legal front racing with an illegal underground. Nino says he backs it, how much money? What happened to us looking for women? Marcus calls up one.

Comedy club. ERP talk. Same woman from the taxi earlier shows: she wears a fur coat and hat and says she came from a "black box". Inside, Marcus cuts some lines on the bar counter and encourages her to do some. Name is "Forty" because 40 friends. Though she's apparently killed one or two...Nino and Marcus look for an escape route, this bitch crazy. Talk on the legal system and the disproportionate power.

Back to the Ferrari. Talk on crazy women. To Harmony. 5k spent. Marcus shares his totally legit social media. Check on Marcus' record. Nino says wipe it, and he'll talk to Payne about getting Marcus into the real estate business.

MRPD. Nino wants to speak to Mac - the cop married Thalia apparently. Verbal fight with a sheriff on education, titles, etc. Nino hits on the dispatcher, Amelia.

Marcus has a new catch. Back to the comedy club, now with Mona. Nino learns she's Vinny's, so he backs off. Marcus cuts another baggie onto the counter. They convince her to do a line, then another... weird noise outside. Her contacts have run dry for other chicks.

Marcus asks for a brick from Tupac, who is curious why Marcus is interested in cocaine again. Some guy on a motorcycle seen leaving the area suspiciously. Nino gives his Ferrari to Marcus to borrow.

**Offstream: USB Contract Initiated**

*Click "Expand" link at your own discretion for events that transpired off Mehdi's stream. Please note, Nino is relatively involved/connected.*

Occurrence date: 6/6/2020

Chang, Randy, Ramee and Vinny take on the contract. They successfully rob the vault, acquire the usb, and all make it to Life Invader, where they manage to hold off the cop force who arrives. Cops camp Live Invader and a few go down to shots. Debates on breaching while CG wait for the download. Chang acquires a heli and takes extra shots. PD breaches. Shots fired. Vinny is injured but all of CG dips from the scene in a 4 door with the usb, headed to a warehouse with their payout. Mission complete.

**Executive Summary: Along with JJ and Cassle, Nino meets up with CG to confirm details of payment for the completed USB contract.**

Nino meets up with both JJ and Cassle. He grills them about progress made thus far to bring back up Cluckin' Bell. Cassle's kicked out of the driver's seat and JJ takes his place. Cassle says Allen told him some guys down at the docks, e.g. Boris, have an interest to talk. Now Nino's driving. Cassle says “guns” instead of “hardware” or something else similar. Crash, Cassle’s launched, his white pants ruined. Pillbox. Quick stop at one of Cassle’s properties (not in his name). Then they chat in the backyard of another house.

Nino listens to Cassle’s plan of payment for this recent usb contract mission. Calls it stupid then asks what JJ would do. Nino proposes they play off the payment as gambling, the money from JJ and Cassle, then the latter take the same amount out of Cluckin’ Bell’s / Sahara’s account as “executive services.” Payout is 200k, let’s make it a quarter.

CG members Chang, Vinny, Randy, and Ramee show for their payment. They exaggerate the mission details and confirm the download is fully complete. The usb will come into play again later. JJ and Cassle to make sure payment is done efficiently.

**Offstream: A Break before Season 3**

**The Disappearance of Nino -**

Once a prominent member of Los Santos with widespread connections, Nino Chavez seems to have returned to the shadows just as quickly as he emerged from them. Over a month has passed with no sign of the businessman. Why did he leave; did something call him away? What if some of his choices in life finally caught up to him and he was taken off-guard? Or perhaps he remains in the city, undercover, continuing his operations in deep secret?

**Awaiting Season 3.**

Nino is still in LS, but keeping a low profile [Mehdi doesn't stream Nino for half a year. Mehdi made a deal that he'll play Nino again if chat reaches 10k subs - goal achieved]. Nino briefly shows his face in Los Santos again: however, this is not Season 3 until Nino is seen more frequently.

**Offstream: Intel of an Evidence Stash Transfer**

*Click "Expand" link at your own discretion for events that transpired off Mehdi's stream.*

Occurrence date: 12/30/2019

*No Nino involvement indicated on streams; wanted to write on a similar heist to Nino’s past ones: transport intercept heist with a potential significant payout, requiring teamwork, communication, skills, etc.*

* Showcasing on the criminal side: Turbo [ScienceGun], Curtis [CurtisRyan], Flippy [Silent], Boris [Tehrani], Mary [KylieBitkin]
* Showcasing on the legal side: Slasher2099, uhSnow, Five0AnthO, Kyle, Jenny, PD

A phone call from Turbo – he has intel of something big: Curtis interest peaks. As his car slides to a stop at Turbo’s loc, the latter joins him. Got a crew? It’s a super sensitive transport intercept heist. Word on the street is that the PD is set to clear their evidence stash soon: Turbo’s contact believes the cargo estimate could amount up to two million dollars. Holy shit. Location: from Paleto to an east-side military installation, FIB. A hit on the stash could be made along this route. Perhaps Senora to Palomino is chosen for a straight shot. Timeframe of a half hour.

Earlier that day, a new security guard starts his first shift. Excited for his bright future, he joins three other truck guards for their work schedule for the day: a high-value transfer. One or two of these are one day away from retirement and look forward to their pension. Calmly, they load their armored truck with the police evidence locker stash and additionally carry parts on themselves. Happily, they start down the road.

Game on. Curtis seeks Flippy; some Vagos indicate he’s in prison but should be released soon. Back to the mission details provided by Turbo: one black van with four heavily-armed guards. Disablement of van needed. Barricade/blockade possibility. Multi-faceted crew desirable. Curtis has some names in mind: Flippy, Mary, and Boris. He creates his team with the forewarning of a high-risk opportunity. Radio channel communication: 454.4. Mary picked up from Integrity.

Perhaps intercept the truck with a large vehicle collision to begin the heist? At penitentiary for Flippy. Preparation: it’s short notice intel. Last minute advice given by Turbo. Phantom truck spotted on the road and taken by force; the plan is to use it to ram into the transport van. Boris shows and is briefed by Curtis. More plan discussion with Turbo and the crew. Curtis gives the assignments and runs into a clothing store for a suit and demon mask. At their chosen ambush location, they prepare and imagine possible scenarios.

It’s go time.

Curtis, in a local red car, sits a little way up a hill. Boris backs up his semi. Mary leans over the engine of a local car, pretending to work on it. She’s the distraction and staller. Flippy ducks down behind a nearby bush as her cover. Voice changer in action, Curtis repositions on the hill to overlook more of the road.

Suddenly, radio chatter picks up: the truck has been spotted. As the truck slows to turn, and stops at Mary’s blockade, Boris’ semi barrels into its side, the ram throwing the vehicle a good couple yards. Teamwork and communication for the t-bone worked very well. Semi ram: https://clips.twitch.tv/TsundereResilientBillFunRun Armed with only an assault SMG, Mary opens fire along with Boris and Flippy. The truck picks up speed, trying to evade the attack.

The black truck rounds the corner on Palomino Fwy and Curtis leaps out of his car, pulling an AP pistol(?) and firing. The damage inflicted isn’t enough to stop the van, however.

Mary, Flippy, and Boris now tail the swerving truck in another car and destroy the tires, forcing the truck into a ammo store parking lot alongside the freeway. The four surround the truck in a standoff with the remaining security guards still standing. Hands quickly go up, the back door is opened, and the crew vultures the truck and guards.

Sirens. Swiftly, the group finds the keys to the truck. Curtis leads the way northbound down Palomino Fwy with Mary driving the stolen truck right behind. Comms continue as they lookout for more police activity. Options discussed. In an alleyway in Paleto, Curtis and Boris make cover shots for the truck to be stowed. Mary and Flippy soon join on the rooftop, all with guns drawn. 2 cop cars spotted: they’re welcomed by gunshots. More cops now. Shootout continues, roof to roof.

Curtis returns to his car to relocate to new higher ground and a better vantage and flank. Radio chatter keeps the crew updated. Relocation for Curtis again. More pog shootouts. Mary takes on a helicopter and keeps to her initial roof with Boris.

Uniformed policemen abruptly swarm Curtis and Flippy, rendering them immobile. It’s down to Mary and Boris now. Appears a lot of cops are down; Mary and Boris take the truck for a spin. And spin they do, Mary positions Boris, leaning out the back of the truck with a door ajar, at some police. Back in a local car, the two ditch the truck and soon find themselves in yet another shootout. The car is beat up and they opt to continue on foot. Mary comes in clutch as Boris falls, but an epic ending for the heist group is shot down along with Mary as she succumbs to the gunfire of an on-point policeman.

**Offstream: Vanilla Unicorn Ownership Transfer: Pimp**

*Click "Expand" link at your own discretion for events that transpired off Mehdi's stream. Please note, Nino is relatively involved/connected.*

Occurrence date: 1/20/20

Coop requests to meet with Alabaster Slim, Pimp. The judge suggests they head to the Vanilla Unicorn to talk. It’s a transaction of some sort that Coop has planned. This whole thing totally not scripted, Pimp follows Coop into the entrance of the VU with Coop hinting at his key. Coop with the act keeps Pimp on edge.

After a bunch of words on an expensive loan payment for ownership of the VU, they drive to a bank so Pimp can withdrawal like 100k for the first payment. Ah shit, Coop forgot his wallet and remembers as soon as they pull up to the bank. Back inside the VU office, Coop logs into the VU website using Nino’s account. He alters the account to reflect Slim’s name instead of Nino’s. Coop continues to chat away.

Then, he hands over the key to the strip club. Slim receives Nino’s stake of ownership and is required to pay no money – Nino sends his regards, and the transfer is in good faith for friendship and business to come, as well as a kind gesture to be remembered in future deals when Nino calls upon him.

Holy shit he can open a door! Digital ownership successfully transferred to Pimp as well. Otto still retains his stake in the ownership, but he doesn’t deal much with the day-to-day operations.

**Offstream: Contact Transfer: Vinny**

*Click "Expand" link at your own discretion for events that transpired off Mehdi's stream. Please note, Nino is relatively involved/connected.*

Occurrence date: 1/23/20

While bargaining for some weaponry near QF, Vinny Pistone answers an unmarked phone call. “Are you alone – I need you to find a safe location. Let me know when you have one,” a deeply masked/robotic voice comes over the line. A bit freaked, Vinny concludes his gun deal and then immediately includes Frankie as his standby; he’s interested.

The number calls back. “Are you alone? I need you to go somewhere. Everything will be made clearer in time. All it requires is a little bit of trust. Go to the pier in Paleto. You have 5 minutes.”

No-one’s at the pier, though. Number again: “I’m glad you can follow instructions so closely.” After asking what was going on, the connection goes dead with a beep.

Vinny sits in his car at the pier, awaiting whatever’s next. Ring; it’s Nino! He asks if Vinny received a phone call, then says he’ll talk soon. After a moment, Vinny calls Nino back: so am I just gonna sit here and wait? Nino replies he needs someone to take a look at Vinny’s face. He has Vinny in mind for something but won’t tell what. He’s passing along a contact for Vinny, and the operatives work carefully and need Vinny confirmed. Appears Nino is setting Vinny up with a gig, but will still remain away from LS for the time being. Nino texts that they should link up Sunday (in three days) and to keep his workings with Vinny secret.

**Offstream: Contact Transfer: Speedy**

*Click "Expand" link at your own discretion for events that transpired off Mehdi's stream. Please note, Nino is relatively involved/connected.*

Speedy, a leading buyer from Nino, may have been put into contact with one of Nino's.

**Offstream: Cleaning up Loose Ends**

*Click "Expand" link at your own discretion for events that transpired off Mehdi's stream. Please note, Nino is relatively involved/connected.*

Occurrence dates: 3/29/30 (Buck) and 3/30/20 (Dragon)

Complete severing of old ties. Dragon and Buck are seen as loose ends. They each possess a good deal of information, and news eventually traveled simply where it shouldn't have. In less than 2 days, both are picked up and murdered. Sun Moon is grouped with Dragon, as Buck dropped his name the day prior plus other shit maybe, yet survives but with memory loss.

Parties involved in Buck's death: Cassle (Johnny/Cousin/Nino's guy [SAVx]), Payne, Pimp, Buddha, Vinny.

Parties involved in Dragon's death: Cassle (Johnny/Cousin/Nino's guy [SAVx]), Payne, Pimp, Buddha.

Then, a tweet. Edward Nygma posts about information he knows that could be compromising [Dragon's note, dead man's switch]. Payne tricks him into meeting, then the boys pick up Edward. They find the note, sealed, and read it. Edward is blown up in a cave with c4.

Group 404 now 404 one by one. Richard Dark on lead investigating for PD.

**Offstream: Sahara's Contracts**

*Click "Expand" link at your own discretion for events that transpired off Mehdi's stream. Please note, Nino is relatively involved/connected.*

Contracts were given out by JJ and Johnny (and maybe other people) to Vinny, Pimp, Payne, and LB (and maybe other people). The contracts were engrossed with the Sahara International logo at the top, with a listing of requested amounts of the materials aluminum, plastic, and rubber. Due date in 9 days and numbered 19015.

All the recipients delivered on time save for one party (unknown). Vinny has thus been the top performer and most consistent.

**Offstream: Unknown**

*Click "Expand" link at your own discretion for events that transpired off Mehdi's stream. Please note, Nino is relatively involved/connected.*

More that I do not know.

**Executive Summary: Nino catches up on some of the latest from JJ, Cassle, and some other people in the city. Action is taken to bring Cluckin’ Bell back operational again. A major USB contract is delivered.**

**Updates from JJ and Cassle:**

TL;DR: JJ and Cassle inform Nino of some details of their operations and the status of Cluckin’ Bell.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino makes an appearance in Los Santos. He meets with Johnny Cassle and JJ and enjoys some coke. Business is doing well, and Cassle skirts a question on the count of employees Cluckin’ Bell has. Talk on women. Cassle again avoids the topic of Cluckin’ Bell. JJ drove to the wrong location, dammit. Re-route. They barely reach their destination before Nino questions why Cassle’s working for him.

“This fucking city has turned into fucking chaos –“ Cassle is cut off by Nino, “Oh I know damn well.” Nino again asks how Cluckin’ Bell is doing. Cassle reluctantly states that the company is indefinitely shut down. Why? “It’s complicated, I wouldn’t say there’s one key factor to it…” Nino and JJ smoke. Oh, also ties are cut with BBC and that operation no longer exists, continues Cassle. Nino questions these events. More talk on BBC. Cassle doesn’t seem to know basic company numbers. Bruce has disappeared but Allen is still around. So where’s our money now. Nino says this operation needs a front, and shit needs to be resolved. Apparently there’s a fight club in LS - Nino’s not impressed. Cassle backs the fight club, arguing the events give back to the city and also helps with cleaning money. Cassle throws Allen under the bus.

Cassle goes to retrieve the car and Nino asks JJ how things are really going. Shit has been difficult. Operations for Cluckin’ Bell were just not working out; the computer system was abysmal. Nino asks about Curtis: he’s doing well, says JJ. He tried to get Curtis on lead for some similar contracts Nino gave out in the past – however, Curtis didn’t necessarily pick people who meshed well together. One such job was unsuccessful, yet no threads lead back to Nino’s operations. Nino says to continue the contract work. JJ mentions Flippy’s name – highly skilled yet can have a mind of his own. Another name: Mikey Mersion – trustworthy according to JJ. Allen hasn’t been around much.

We need to solidify our methods and plans for moving a lot of money. We’ve been lucky in the past in not getting caught. JJ remarks on Cassle’s driving abilities.

The pair meet back with Cassle in the car. Nino inquires about the Wizard – dude’s mostly just sleeping. Materials moving though. Cassle follows traffic laws and JJ takes his place at the wheel. Ammo store, combat pistol and ammo picked up. And can’t forget the bat. Grocery store stop. Convenience store. Withdraws 5k. Nino questions why Cluckin’ Bell is only at 3.6 mil. Coffee shop. Now to the place.

Nino calls up a random woman’s number: Sophie. She doesn’t seem much into ERP and Nino shifts the conversation to her radio something or other, business.

Arrival to bunker. Damn. Guns, equipment, a bed, vending machines… shipment of Dracos to Speedy later today. Nino wants to test if there’s any response time to gun shots [locals sometimes call in when they shouldn’t]. There’s even a shooting range down here. Some test shots, doesn’t seem to be any calls – good.

Time to talk product movement. In a month, about 40 guns, variety. Shipments every 2 weeks. Guns require materials: there’s a consumer issue – inflated prices. So low on materials right now. Takes a few days to 1 week to move some guns, depending on market. Demand about matches supply, says JJ. Demand could be double supply at the moment – materials hard to get. So what’s up with this lack of materials.

Vinny gets like 1k of the necessary materials each week. Speedy also provides materials. Chop crew. Are we using anyone else? We need more people than just Vinny and Speedy. Cassle says more guys is more expense. Sources of materials? Chop shop, truck jobs, houses. What’s up with Siz? He hasn’t been brought in for materials; he has some bike club. Buddha gets gun shipments: he moves advanced rifles and sometimes LMGs.

Nino’s not happy with this gun operation. There’s so little hardware being moved, yet Cluckin’ Bell couldn’t be managed? We need it to clean our money! Lack of manpower, says Cassle. It needs to have activity – amount of employees don’t matter, details like that don’t matter, we need this to be running.

Calls up Susie – Nino makes his point by offering her a managerial position at Cluckin’ Bell. She accepts the temporary position. Done. Cassle competes and calls up someone else.

Vinny brings in more materials than Speedy: 70% / 30%. Buddha a special case.

Nino meets with Speedy: JJ and Cassle with him. Talk on vacation locations and women. Speedy announces himself as the new owner of La Fuente Blanca. Nino asks about the material problem. Nino says he wants double the materials Speedy provides. Speedy mentions “weapons,” whoops. Speedy replies he can up production on his end, yet he states this might require him to take over the chop shop. “Chop god” is OTT now? Ballas and LB at peace. New: Eastside Ballas, headquartered near the oil fields. Pablo finally got his taco shop! Speedy says he killed Pablo. But hey, the taco shop is still going strong and making money. Speedy has plans for his Vagos. Speedy takes his exit.

Nino lines up some more cocaine. Some talk on current state of things. Meet with the random dude, Miles, Cassle called earlier. Nino views one of Payne’s warehouses.

**USB Contract:**

TL;DR: Nino informs JJ and Cassle of a new contract: usb to be acquired from inside the most secure lockers in the vault and a download of 20 minutes in Life Invader. Oh, and plenty of c4.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Inside, Nino says he’s been dealing with business overseas. He’s not pleased with how things have been handled and run in LS in his absence. He shows his face today as an important client wants Nino to oversee a job.

A device is stored at a specific bank – the vault. Pacific Standard Bank: behind the most secure lockers, which cannot be bypassed by thermite alone, is a high value usb. We need to grab the usb, blow up the place with c4, then get the fuck out. Job is not about cleaning cops. From the moment the locker is accessed, there is a 1 hour window to lose the cops, get to Life Invader, connect the usb to a specific computer, download for 20 minutes, then blow up Life Invader with more c4. Then get the fuck out. Challenge: no hostages to be used in Life Invader as the download to the usb needs to be secretive.

Sophie calls back about the possible business position.

JJ wants to know who the crew is. Nino’s thinking maybe Vinny and his boys. Nino has separate plans for JJ’s crew. Cassle responsible for collecting for this job. Nino wants this job done asap.

Nothing hot kept in this warehouse – it’s a clean exchange spot. Payne hasn’t been around much lately. Nino asks about Dragon, etc. “Taken care of.” Buck collateral. No traces, says JJ and Cassle. Whole crew took them down, a crew of Payne’s. Cassle says they’re trustworthy people. Names: Payne, Buddha, Slim, Vinny, etc. Payne’s a talker. Lots of people being mentioned here… Nino calls up Payne, no answer. Nino instructs JJ and Cassle to continue calling Payne.

Sophie’s just outside, Nino, JJ, and Cassle make their way out of the warehouse. They meet her and Nino points her to Cassle. Nino wonders about ERP while Cassle asks a few unfocused interview questions. The trio is very interested in her boyfriend Ash…

Speedy gives Nino some cocaine, a shank(?), some wine, and some LSD. Speedy and Nino do some lines together. Kendra gets Nino’s number; Cassle has something to say. Cassle also says he no longer does coke. Integrity. Another line.

**Vinny’s Updates:**

TL;DR: Vinny updates on his hardware operations with materials and receives Nino’s contract.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Vinny meets the ‘ghost’ and shows off his house with the amazing view. Nino’s first order of business: “Did Payne run his mouth?” Vinny explains; it started with Buck. One of Payne’s warehouses was sold to Eugene, who recklessly compromised it’s existence and location to Buck, who gave this information to his boys, so Buck’s whole crew had to go. Payne mentioned this situation was all for Nino to all those involved, says Vinny. It was Vinny, Slim, and Buddha. Nino says, “Payne: game over.” Vinny acknowledges. Payne fucked up.

Nino gets into the contract details and sees if Vinny is interested. Vinny certainly is, and says his boys are ready – he points to the military base and claims they’ve infiltrated it.

Vinny says the pricing of materials is an issue. He has OTT working for him. Vinny says no problem with doubling production. Material allocation to make guns is off. Taco shop workers. Bikers have their usual monopoly on thermite: they do chop in the mornings before OTT. Nino and Vinny do coke.

Cassle shows off his place and the backyard. Nino gets a car, much to Cassle’s dismay. Nino takes a drive with Cassle. Sometimes Cassle gets tailed by cops. What?

Eugene, senior plus intern. Curtis. Coke. Women. Carmella’s married to Coop? Ramee. Randy. Taco. Denzel. More people. Coke. Cars. Claire. Flippy likes to talk. Sahara International office: Allen to make a list on why Cluckin’ Bell was a failure. Tries calling Kendra. Nino and Cassle meet with Rose to try to get into contact with Payne. Nino enjoys the car.

Nino, JJ, and Cassle meet with Saab and Allen regarding BBC. Also present are two other people. BBC didn’t have a great ROI, as long story short. Materials economy. Longer conversation later. Cost to run BBC business was to the point there was very little revenue. Nino says he’ll give a 200k one time investment into BBC today, to see what happens. The woman Leah introduces herself, she’s Saab’s manager and does bookkeeping.

Nino mentions Fast Lane as an avenue for Saab, if he wants. Allen offers an office to Saab for BBC.

Saab and his crew take their leave, and Allen briefs Nino, JJ, and Cassle on the fall of Cluckin’ Bell. Senior management and structure had some changes. Computer issues. Funds would be needed to bring Cluckin’ Bell back up, and Allen offers his services again if that’s the plan. Also depends on buyers. Allen gave more responsibility to Bruce, who he says fucked up.

Nino tells Allen he needs the company up and operating again – it doesn’t need to be fancy, it just needs to have a presence and be at least efficiently operational. It does need competent drivers and some form of management.

Apparently the VU was paying $1800 per delivery…ridiculous. Nino expresses interest in getting into contact with Joe Caine. Allen’s getting his plane license soon. Allen leaves.

Nino calls Payne a “ungrateful piece of fucking shit” after reading a text from the realtor to JJ and Cassle. Payne’s unhappy he had to get out of bed and was complaining about his time getting wasted.

**Meet Up with Buddha:**

TL;DR: Buddha Warns of Schnakes

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino meets up with Buddha, who warns him of the snakes in the city. Nino asks for a list of people he should avoid: Tyrone Biggums, Flippy, Hernadez, Gomer, Sonya, Allen, OTT. Nino expresses concern to Buddha that Payne mentioned his name as involved in the job, when loose ends were severed. What’s up with Payne? He has a good heart and is loyal, yet his weaknesses are in moments of frustration and anger when he does dumb shit, answers Buddha.

So Payne’s much different from the paranoid new realtor he used to be. Different status quo a bit… Nino refers to a Grapeseed job half a year ago. Nino questions Buddha on his ability to keep Nino’s name secret, even from Saab and Tony. Buddha replies in the affirmative. Nino tells of an old associate – Randall. He describes his unfortunate end in a meat grinder and a Lilly. Randall had talked too much. Sheriff Eli. Randall’s cousin gave Nino his scar on his neck. Then, Lilly took him down. Nino doesn’t want another Randall.

Buddha understands; he doesn’t want another Doug. 4 months of planning and work, down on the day of release [Comedy Club]. People need more patience. And others need to stop connecting dots.

**Payne Explains:**

TL;DR: Nino checks Payne’s attitude and questions some of his past choices. More data collection.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino picks up Payne from his tower, who explains it’s his day off and he’s being bothered. Nino talks about the “stupid text.” Payne says he has a gift: a lighter. Calls it rare. Nino asks how life is for Payne, then manically laughs, “You just casually kill people, right?” Then, after Payne joins in the laughter, “Then you tell them who it’s for.” Nino opens the car door and walks out onto the dock in the dark. Payne mutters his confusion on Nino’s comment, then, “shit…”

At the end of the dock Nino questions “Payne Gang.” The realtor begins story time. He has the warehouses set in the city now, but needed muscle to “protect the integrity and secrecy of these warehouses.” He originally created this band of boys as a “joke.” A warehouse location was leaked to Buck.

JJ arrives to the pier – Payne notices and Nino says that’s his insurance. Nino texts for JJ to remain at the other end of the pier.

Story time continues. Buck approached Payne and told him he used to do heavy hardware operations with Nino, along with other stuff. Then Payne Gang was created, some time went by, and 5 people were targeted: Dragon, Buck, Edward, Preston, and Sun Moon.

Payne doesn’t think the people who knew Nino’s name are too much of a worry: they’re trustworthy. Nino wants to know the final moments of the deaths. Buck was shot, Dragon’s head was chopped off, Sun Moon was shot, Preston was dropped from Mount Chillead, and Edward was blown up in a tunnel with c4.

Nino questions the loyalties of Payne’s crew. Also Buck kidnapped both Payne and Slim in the past – Buck apparently said he thought Payne moved heavy equipment for Nino. Dragon had gone to the cops prior to his death. Edward knew some information on Nino and warehouses. Payne says no one really knows about Nino though. Then Payne doesn’t want to give any names for who calls Nino “irrelevant” as he says everyone says it. Payne keeps chatting.

Payne says cops aren’t all that strict nowadays. Nino says Cluckin’ Bell is going to become operational again. Payne talks on the taco shop activity. Nino brings up Fast Lane. Racing? Tuner chip. Integrity.

Back at his car, 2 cops are complaining, then they soon leave. One cop is Toretti, says Payne. Driving again, Nino and Payne do coke.

Nino calls Javier: Cluckin’ Bell to make it back on the map.

Sonya at the taco shop.

Payne to expand his clientele for warehouses.

Nino meets with Sonya at Sahara. She’s doing a different kind of crime than when Nino and her last spoke. Tyrone mentioned. Talk on life in LS.

Nino learns from Tyrone of a new group of “Chang Gang Affiliates.” More talk.

Jordan Steele at Garage T. Garage Q personnel wants to expand to parking lot T so there’s a garage war. Steele wants to liberate. Choi runs Garage T, and Nino says fuck Choi, how can I help? I want guns, replies Steele. Wtf?! CG also hates Choi, also LB. Something else about Ballas. Also Steele used to be a cop for a few months. Now Jordan has it out for Choi and Garage T. Nino says he likes this new Jordan, this crazy Jordan. Driving, they cut some lines on the dash and complain about Choi together.

Nino sees an opportunity: some talk later, Jordan is offered a managerial position at Cluckin’ Bell. He has like 30 people under him with Garage Q, knows how to crack the whip, and is willing.

Meets with Coop at QF. Then to Coop’s place, along with Carmella. Nino invites another woman down, Lana. She shows and both Coop and Carmella freak out. Nino pulls Lana to the side to ask what the beef is. Now Coop pulls Nino aside – Lana is married to Chang, he says. Nino calls Chang and they plan a meeting plus ERP. Coop’s not on good terms with Chang. Now Nino and Lana drive away: Lana talks about Coop and gives info on stuff. Coop calls, gives more info. Who’s got beef with who, who’s in a relationship with who, who talks to who… Nino drops Lana off.

Crash into Vale. Then LSD while waiting for Coop. Learns Coop doesn’t have much passion for his DOJ responsibilities anymore. He’s willing to resign, contingent on the right offer – he could be available on the legal side for Nino.

Nino visits the taco shop. His car is stolen – offers 10k to Sonya to get it back. One phone call and 2 minutes later, the car pulls back into the lot. Talk with the culprit Gremlin. Cops park in the middle of the road in LS now. Rear-ended by truck, driver Eduardo. Nino has a short chat and calls up Sonya to ask for Eduardo to be picked up and taken care of – with no link back to Nino. He pretends he’s calling his insurance guy. While Nino keeps chatting with Eduardo, a group of masked people show and take Eduardo hostage. Perfect.

Vinewood Bowl with Chang. 2 other people show…new location: a house. Nino reviews the usb contract involving some of Life Invader’s files.

Pulled over for flagged plates. Nino says his car was stolen for a few minutes earlier. Some talk back and forth with Metzger on the flagged call. Learns of supposedly incompetent officer Brian Knight. Plate is unflagged, Nino is free to go.

Nino links up with Siz. He’s up for more contracts yet declares “materials are shit.” Lots of issues with materials. Aluminum is in the highest demand. Info dump on taco shop money laundering and its bottleneck. Siz wants to get in on the moonshine business. More info dump. Siz is moderately interested in pushing hardware – he’s a bit reluctant due to problems in the past. Coke economy. Siz is happy with what’s on his plate at the moment; he indicates some new people in the city could be useful.

Eastside Ballas group has over 100 members right now, says Siz. Sonya and OTT also. They visit Siz’ HOA spot. ERP talk. Talk on Lady of the Lake. Kraytor shows and says the Lady of the Lake isn’t real. Debate time. Nino wants to meet her for ERP. Nino gives his story that everything in life is for pussy. Siz makes the same argument but for money. Speedy shows in his sombrero.

Nino picks up Lana. Crash. ERP and drugs talk. Almost pulled over. Lady of the Lake, Raja, Tony. Talk on flopped comic store. Car. Adrienne West is the Lady of the Lake. Driving again with just Lana. [She’s scuffed and needs to take a nap.]

Pulled over, ran a red light. Baas. Argue time. Phone call with Lana, talk on incompetency of Baas. More arguing with Baas. [Server restart.]

### **Episode 119 [Nov 12, 2019]**

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/518548136

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/518548355

**Executive Summary: The judge’s name is revealed regarding Dimitri’s contract with the DOJ. Cluckin’ Bell gains an accountant. Vinny has more cupcakes for Nino.**

Nino calls Curtis to thank him for yesterday, when Curtis took Nino’s cocaine possession charge. Also, tasers are no longer available in the shop. Coke in Integrity.

Where’s Harvey? Who’s Harvey? Why’s Harvey? Crazy fake Rickys. Normal day in Garage Q.

In the courthouse, the door to the main room is locked. Nino and Tessa discuss cough drops and tasers. El Tesso packs heat sometimes.

Inside, Dimitri is on the defense side representing himself.

In recess, Tessa softly admits she was accused of drug trafficking before but not convicted. Eugene almost gets caught on a warrant.

**The Boys:**

TL;DR: Nino, Dimitri, and Curtis discuss the potential blackmail opportunity of the contract Dimitri holds with Judge Stanton. Discussion on DOJ.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

The trio: Nino, Dimitri, and Curtis. Nino explains his pick up from the cops yesterday and his bench trial. What’s up with OTT? Curtis says the house he was aiming for was not considered neutral territory, as OTT believed. Thus, conflict.

Dundee calls: his quest has been completed.

Dimitri gives up the name of the judge who gave him the blank check contract a few weeks back to kill Bovice: Stanton. He shows the contract to Nino and Curtis. It has a lot of legal holes…

They discuss the contract: potential blackmail. They talk about the differences of the current working judges and past cases. Nino warns Dimitri of the Koreans. Talk on entertainment channels. Luther shows. Allen. Tim. Etc.

**What’s up with OTT?:**

TL;DR: Nino inquires Curtis’ opinion on OTT’s recent decisions and actions. Some talk on Tecs and Scorps.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino tells Curtis he has a hardware shipment incoming, there’s just a delay as the quantity Nino needs is high and needs to be slowly brought in past the coast guard. Nino pays 20k to Curtis for picking up his cocaine charge yesterday.

Nino wants Curtis’ view on OTT. Curtis says OTT was raided and Vagos Mike hates OTT – feud. Mike, with the help of Curtis, framed OTT.

Why issues with the Vagos though? Eh, some Vagos simply don’t like him. OTT also went after Curtis too at one point. Different codes and perspectives of life. [Mehdi’s streaming pc freezes.]

They discuss VGs and that the return of these mean there’s a black market existence. Maybe shops? Curtis says the trap houses only ‘respond’ to one person – in his case at the moment, Denzel.

Gun distribution discussed. Nino explains why he has the Tecs at 7k minimum selling price and asks for Curtis’ opinion on a potential minimum for the Scorps. Curtis says the Tecs are actually better than the Scorps because they shoot straighter. People still aren’t dumping their guns.

Cool opportunity seen on the yellow pages – Nino calls Mel, who wastes no time telling Nino it’s a scam. Aw. Regina Bunny outside of Pink Cage; Nino drives her to her apartment to take a nap.

Nino picks up accounting woman (name?). Vinny calls – he has some cupcakes (his code word for VGs). Accounting woman gives her background and pitches her skills along with indicating her love of spreadsheets. Nino says Sahara will hire her on a temporary basis: she could be quite useful for business.

Pulled over by Soze: red lights and speed. Citation for $250 for negligent driving.

Accounting woman is given Rank 3 for Cluckin’ Bell. She cannot make payments but can see the amount of money in the bank for the company.

Nino kidnaps a willing but vocal Eugene. Eugene makes a break for it. Nino kidnaps a willing Eugene again. He’s dropped back off at his escape room challenge.

Jerry says he’s not been doing anything ERP with Kayden, but keeps winking at Nino and the EMT. Nino and Jerry discuss possession charges from the perspective of the DOJ. Jerry explains law school [the actual thing, Mantistobagan is actually in law school – he also points out the difference between real law vs RP law in a game server].

**Rave:**

TL;DR: Along with Ramee and Taco, Nino talks about a variety of things. Dance off.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Ian and Chips outside Pillbox. Ramee and Taco. Mason, he’s a realtor and wants a ride to his car. Granger. Tupac. Ramee’s the wizard?! This whole time! Whoa. Clothing store. Talk on other counties and past almost unplanned vacations.

Would be cool to have a major election – Nino, with Sahara, can even fully fund one himself, with the company backing the elected. It would be fun, and doesn’t necessarily need to go through the process of the government.

Ramee says CG attempted the big vault: they failed at the thermite stage and ended up losing 3 AKs and an advanced rifle.

Nino admits he’s killed a good number of cops in his past. Nino explains his underground fight club idea. They’re informed of a dance off. Pulled over by Lauren: they dance in the car.

Nino pulls aside a GSF member [Jdot]: Nino inquires about another member who had some questionable actions in a bank. This guy will handle it and will also let either Chef or Ghost know Nino wants to talk to them. Everyone dances.

### **Episode 118 [Nov 11, 2019]**

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/518547797

**Executive Summary: Trap houses have popped up in the city: the Vagos hold down one. Nino has initial intel on a military cargo plane coming soon: heist opportunity. Prune Tang Records emerges. OTT faces a difficult time ahead. Nino holds interest in something from the big bank vault. Payne’s secret project for Nino is complete but not yet revealed in its entirety. “Hood Owners Association” soon? Los Santos loses the skills of Funnyman. An old commodity re-enters the market. Nino sees the inside of a jail cell and Summer Mersion represents Nino in a bench trial. Saab's last breath?**

Cocaine. We got shit to do today. Meets woman in the middle of the street. Eugene calls and tells of a rap contest he held.

**Trap Houses and a Military Cargo Plane:**

TL;DR: Speedy informs Nino of three trap houses discovered in LS: the Vagos are holding down one. Another gun order, for Tec-9s and AKs. Nino tells Speedy a military cargo plane flying over LS in about a week is scheduled to be shot down – Speedy is interested in more details when the time comes.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Speedy. Ramblings about stuff including tooth cream. Nino inquires about his status on gun distribution. Speedy says it’s been good. He asks for AKs for his own boys. Those will be hard to bring in, can you wait for these to trickle in within the normal shipments? Yes sir. [I may have missed a 90k cash handover to Nino.]

Speedy says the Deagle doesn’t 2 shot anybody anymore – nerfed? Anyway, Speedy sold it for 60k. Talks on increasing ranks for his boys at a store that sells illegal shit: crack, coke, weed. Can’t push guns, though. Vagos want to hold this place down for themselves. It operates and identifies via codes – the Vagos share a code maintain the same rank/rep. Codes are secret unless someone robs a local customer and gets lucky. There are three trap houses in LS: Vagos have one at the moment. Vagos also looking to shutdown trap houses that are not theirs.

20 count order for Tec-9s. They discuss that people are not dumping their hardware as they should be. For the economy, gotta keep these moving. [Manufacturing of these set to break down after a certain time period and/or usage will allow for movement. Something like that. Also the fear of being caught with a dirty gun would help.]

Bank and jewelry store got security upgrades. Nino is interested in relevant information. Speedy offers a guide on the new workings to Nino, once he completes it.

Speedy is ready for a big contract, police existence or not. There’s a military cargo plane flying in soon: it’s going to be shot down. Nino will acquire the radio frequency and pass along the information to Speedy. It’s going to be a bloodbath and police/news may catch wind. Want more intel when the time comes, interested?

Speedy is foolhardily interested and agrees to keep the information to himself for the time being. Speedy offers the Vagos’ services again – “Vagos will always back you, till the day I die.”

Nino is driving along and hits Archer in his cop car. Yelling match. Both repair. Both part.

**Prune Tang Records:**

TL;DR: Eugene garners seed money from Sahara International for his new rap business.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino arrives to the rap battle of Eugene’s and finds Dumbass, Dimitri, and Eugene. Eugene gives his pitch about his rap company in an attempt to garner seed money from Nino and Sahara. Potential deal: 30k seed money in return for a Sahara song.

Nino asks if anyone knows of a guy in green with a gold chain – someone matching the description talked odd to Nino earlier in a bank.

Potential deal with Eugene: investment of 10k from Nino for Eugene’s new business. Woman lawyer and Jenny(?) swagger walk up in rap attire. Woman in fur coat gives a rap demo. Nino’s adamant she gets a tattoo. To a parlor. Nino learns from Eugene OTT is now in the house robbing business rather than rapping anymore.

Nino writes up a contract for 30k from Sahara to Prune Tang Records. Eugene gets 30k.

Kayden’s on a date with Jerry? Nino warns Jerry to stop towing his car.

**OTT’s Circumstances:**

TL;DR: In an effort to more efficiently push oxytocin, OTT requests to speak with Nino.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

OTT requests to talk. Nino hardly lets OTT get a word in. He finally gets a chance and blurts out that he has a lot of oxy. OTT asks for cocaine. Nino suggests to take an oxy pill. OTT mixes the upper and downer and continues to listen to Nino’s ramblings. OTT again offers oxy to Nino. Turns out all OTT wanted was to supply Nino with oxy. Uh, no, what the fuck am I gonna do with that shit? Do you think I’m a drug addict? Drug dealer?

Nino offers to pass along a name of a pusher if he comes across one. Oxy distribution is too petty for Nino to deal in much. OTT can make a competing track against Prune and Nino may make an investment or something.

OTT is unable to move his inventory of his oxy. End goal is to supply the south, he lives in the southside now. Aztecas were going to merge with the Misfits but that fell through. OTT’s trying to find a foothold and feels like he really belongs, per his roots, in the southside.

Nino gives the possible other perspective: you’re a bunch of outsiders entering which could be considered as “invading.” It was supposedly a neutral area. It comes down to politics at the end of the day, though. Well, gonna be rough for OTT. He got raided again too, on a planted pistol from others who dressed up as his group.

Violet no longer an Azteca. Well, it’s going to be rough for OTT. Nino will see what he can do if an opportunity arises.

Claire found on the ground in Garage Q. They call 911 and get out of there. OTT says she’s crazy – she never remembers the day before. Nino thinks this is awesome intel.

At Pillbox, meets with Vinny. Nino spots one of the microaggression cops [Nidas], who says he no longer focuses on microaggressions. He now works for SPRE: Swedish Play Role Enforcement. He’s searching for 2 fugitives: Role Play and Inter Action. He gives locs of where these ‘people’ are not found. Also some guy V. D. M. Mel’s voice sounds funny [Spaceboy has to use a new mic].

VDM found!! Ramee slides into them at a high speed and ‘parks.’

Ramee gives Nino a smooch and cocks and glocks are pulled out. Chaos. Another V.D.M. from a local! Choi. “Ok boomer,” to Mel. ERP talk with Ramee. Swedish guy is planning a grand heist: 20 people dress up as bombs and sit outside of pawn shop [RP fun talk on what’s currently going on with the pawnshop]. Talk on whether life is a game.

**What’s in the Vault?:**

TL;DR: Vinny, representative for CG, is informed of a big contract opportunity approaching soon – he accepts and will await more intel. Nino needs something from the big bank vault. Vinny markets 1068, an underground club of CG’s.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino sends another request for the keymaster for Vinny. Coming up: loan business. Vinny to-do now: events for Sahara. Nino asks if Vinny/CG would be interested in a big contract (regarding military cargo plane). He references the dump truck. Vinny is definitely interested regarding intel on this.

Vinny says every southside gang is good with the others, and that territory seems to change daily, and the pawnshop is fucked as there’s a line of like 20 people waiting for it to open. Thus, CG stays away.

Nino says the vault of the big bank might have a particular package he holds interest for. So if CG sees anything out of the ordinary, obtain it for Nino.

Vinny says Chang is starting an underground club called 1068. Tiered memberships. Member, poker, weed, crack, guns at the varying tier levels. Vinny wonders if Nino wants in. Heck yea. He shows the outside to Nino, then he, Randy, Pablo, and Ramee show off the salon interior. Speakeasy.

Nino transfers 53k to Saab regarding BBC. Ian says he could use about 1 million dollars. Nino returns that he should have tier minimums – so bare necessities for the first event. Jobie still waiting on Bruce to talk about potential promotion within Cluckin’ Bell.

Nino preps a boat for him and Payne to talk. Jerry calls and says that the guy they took the dick from earlier is a problem and mentioned Nino’s name – Nino denies any involvement then remembers the Korean guy. Sucks for him. Nino will deal with this later.

**Proliferation of the Southside Chaos:**

TL;DR: Guess who facilitated that warzone in the south. Payne Real Estate. Payne’s project for Nino is complete and ready for show. Siz was sold a house in the southside by Payne – “Hood Owners Association” incoming.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

A distance away from shore, Payne says the project is complete, but he is ironing out the finer details. It is able to be displayed in the next few days. Locations need set up, and transportation. Nino says a particular loc will be a fantastic place to have a first meeting.

Payne says he removed Sahara International from the map and replaced it will other shops. Payne showcases a new coupon/coopon he has from his pocket. The boat is fucked, shit they’re stuck.

Funnyman calls as Nino hotwires a nearby sailboat. He says he has info on Mickey. They’ll meet up. Back at their broken boat, Payne is dancing to loud music. Onto the sailboat. Payne tells he added about 30 more homes, and he’s given his own employees more investment into the company.

Concerned about the south? Payne laughs, then admits he may have started the commotion. They share maniacal laughs. Payne then says Buddha finally has agreed to terminate his lease for one of his houses. Back to the topic of the south – Payne sold Tommy a house and OTT has keys to a house in the south. Now it’s a warzone. What’s a realtor company to do? Not much can be done: even an ambassador wouldn’t solve the drama. Talk on power of groups in the city – it is what it is.

Payne respects Big E and wishes to help him due to his compassion and patience. Payne is going to possibly swap two homes. One route to take. Maybe there will be an agreement soon.

Payne knows about the trap houses: like a bunch of people have talked to him about them. Payne responded to those people he knows nothing about these shops.

Nino tells Payne to keep the following strictly secret: perhaps ownership of houses around these special shops could exist if the shop were owned for a minimum amount of time. Does include some risk if legal investigation persists, yet it is gang territory to begin with. Then it’s controllable. [Mechanic idea for the server.]

Court case with the HOA incoming, says Payne. He’s considering severing the tie with the HOA, but after hearing the evidence and how the proceedings went, it comes down to the information in the court case.

He then admits he sold Siz a house in the southside and the HOA might be moving there. “Hood Owners Association” switch I guess.

There’s a limited amount of homes, isn’t LS running out in the southside? People are actually selling them – for example, Rudi. He made his payments in a timely manner and sold his house to make a profit. A lot of people about to become rich soon. [Disconnected.]

**“Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness”:**

TL;DR: Funnyman comes to terms with the current state of Los Santos not meshing with his available impact.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino speaks with Funnyman, who says Arthur is alive but not returning to Los Santos. Gomer and Sonya are missing to Funnyman. The VU venture has come to a standstill. Nino says he’s not sure he follows. Did he miss a detail? When did Funnyman tell him he was associated with the VU? Funnyman says he knows the whole situation involving Bovice. Tequila-la.

Nino asks where Gomer and Sonya fit into the mix with Arthur and the VU. Funnyman says this whole thing is very complicated.

He admits he was the one to find Sonya in the water after she went missing a few months ago. He took her to Arthur to resuscitate her. He has been working for Arthur nearly every day until Arthur left, except that whole episode with Raja. Loose ends and vagueness to Funnyman.

The oil pump that are standing next to reaches its annoyance limit with Funnyman and they attempt to find a new location. Something’s not adding up here, he’s giving more information than he originally gave Nino. Funnyman has never mentioned this about the VU before. They’re not on the same plane of thought here. Let’s start at the top…

Funnyman again questions his reason and purpose in LS. Hierarchy and trust. Information. Current city status quo. Evolution.

Nino tells Funnyman that the current state of Los Santos has no strong need for a man with the abilities and skills like Funnyman. Nino does say he may personally need Funnyman, though.

“But I fished out the woman you killed yourself, Sonya. You never called me for that,” says Funnyman. What the fuck? “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” returns Nino. Funnyman says Gomer and Arthur both thought it was Nino who pulled the theoretical trigger on her death.

“There’s mystery around what I do, so you have to second guess yourself. But I’ll give it to you straight: I’ll would never kill anybody myself,” states Nino. Instead, he prefers to rely on others – others like Funnyman.

Talk on Murphy. Nino reiterates that the world today [state of NoPixel] is not ready for a man like Funnyman. Funnyman despairs about his past and all his work, what he thinks has gone to waste.

“It’s always about the journey. You know why? Cause the finish line is never worth it. There is nothing at the finish line. There’s always talk of the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow – there is no pot. It’s the chase.”

“Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”

Cannot always predict the future. Evolution is necessary. Funnyman doesn’t want to evolve. Nino says he respects Funnyman’s trade and walks away.

**Beta Saab :) :**

TL;DR: Nino gives Saab suggestions on how to be more alpha. Also, short BBC talk.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Saab picks up Nino. Randy has a lazy eye. A group of people try out facial expressions. Nino checks out the invoice Saab sent earlier regarding the BBC. Something’s up with Brenda. They arrive at a dark mountain and see Brenda, Claire, Eugene, (?), and (?). Claire plays her kazoo. The women fight over whether they’re virgins. Saab still looking for Braab shirts. Eugene has a tractor.

Nino and Saab talk on the side: why are you a bitch, Saab? Up rolls Eugene in his tractor. Down rolls Eugene in his tractor. So, Saab, you give her everything but you get nothing. He needs to step up his game. Fuck someone else, Saab. Can’t get it up, though. Try drugs, suggests Nino.

Saab moves to business talk. He’s been working well with Pinto. He clarifies the number of people for transportation jobs [regarding the server rule of 4]. Invoices can be sent to Nino or Bruce, etc. More shops popping up – Saab wants to know if he can sell BBC stuff. Idk, try experimenting. Even existing businesses, like Benny’s and the Tuner Shop. Down the mountain, Saab’s car is gone.

Nino calls up Tim and requests he arrives to the lighthouse with a car to catch a ride for himself and Saab. He then continues the conversation with Saab regarding Brenda.

Claire comes back with the car. Nino steps aside and smokes quietly while listening to Saab ‘woe’ Claire. Tim shows.

**A Return:**

TL;DR: Tim is adamant that Han didn’t voluntarily give up his dick and probes for a name to blame. He also informs Nino that VGs are back in circulation.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Tim updates Nino that Woo Jin Han wants his dick back. Remember, he’s Korean. Tim is under the impression the loss of Han’s dick was not voluntary. Nino says Han was happy to lose it. Tim wants a target. Nino gives him one: Tim himself. Karma.

More back and forth as Tim doesn’t believe, but Nino doesn’t give names or point fingers. Ok, fine. Have a name: Carmella. The set up fails, Tim doesn’t bite. Tim keeps throwing out names. Tim calls Jerry. Jerry picked up – he says the dick was for Dimitri. Then Jerry picks up on the no-name-dropping and plays along.

Jerry inquires how much Tim has been drinking. Tim’s going to search for a video. Nino is dropped off at Garage Q along with Jerry.

Jerry makes a strong accusation about another woman’s pussy in front of everyone. Talent show at Maze Bank Arena soon. Nino reads a note handed to him by Tim: “valuable goods are back.” Time to talk.

He got 14 VGs from the jewelry store. New casino, Nino should check it out.

Vinny is called for a second consultation on the VGs: Vinny verifies they’re back in the economy. On his way to Sahara, Nino offers his passenger seat to a woman named Sophia. Leopard print shirt, high heels, you get the idea. She’s from Naples, Italy. They head to the talent show. She’s only half Italian – the other half is New Zealand. Chat continues.

**A Jail Cell:**

TL;DR: Nino is pulled over for reckless driving and taken in.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Cop now chasing. Nino pulls into a parking spot to see two cop cars and three cops with ARs pulled – he’s instructed to put his hands up and exit the vehicle, then step backwards slowly to the cops, where he is cuffed. What the fuck.

Now he’s questioned. The hell is going on? He was speeding apparently (shocker). He gets read his rights. He also ran a bunch of lights. Some talk. Prostitution? He’s under arrest for reckless driving. Nino requests a lawyer. Into the back of the police truck. S15 is impounded by the authorities.

Nino is brought to Mission Row and put into a cell. Reckless driving charge. Cops mention the cocaine he had in the S15, so possession of cocaine as well. Nino gets the leather jacket woman as his lawyer – Summer Mersion. Cops give their perspective – they didn’t clock. Nino gives his perspective. It isn’t looking too good on ridding the cocaine charge.

Suddenly Curtis is seen being escorted in – what’s up man! Also, opportunity. Nino convinces Summer to offer her services to Curtis as well and ask if Curtis is willing to take Nino’s cocaine possession charge as his own. Nino waits as she walks to Curtis’ cell.

She returns: Curtis will take it, but it is unknown if it is just possession or intent to distribute in the eyes of the law. Summer now debates the charges with the cops. Nino jumps in a few times. Nino wants a bench trial. Nino verbally fights Bayo.

Nino talks more with Summer. Judge incoming. Nino lets Summer know about the woman Sophia. Maybe try to bribe Sophia…

Nino is transported to the courthouse.

**Verdict:**

TL;DR: Lawyer Summer Mersion represents Nino in his bench trail regarding the charges of reckless driving and cocaine possession.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Bench trial begins. Judge is Stanton. Behind him, Tony has some fun.

Introductions. Bayo gives his statement on the stand. DA Splainer questions. Summer questions: she’s on fire and doing really well. DA re-questions.

Officer Miller gives his statement on the stand. DA questions. Summer questions. DA re-questions.

Curtis is brought up on the stand. He gives a fake story to take Nino’s cocaine charges. Summer questions. DA questions.

DA gives closing statement. Summer gives an impressive closing statement – holy shit that performance: she’s getting paid regardless of judge verdict.

Court called back into order: Stanton states that he will not charge for the possession of cocaine but will issue a fine for the reckless driving with no time served. Nino is billed for $1125. Curtis gets the cocaine charge. Nino argues with Splainer that he is not a criminal – and that Splainer himself just ruins lives: he doesn’t bring justice and doesn’t help people turn their lives around the right way. Summer joins the argument on Nino’s side. Nino suggests redirecting Splainer’s focus to targeting those who pose an actual risk to the state.

Nino has issues with the implication Splainer showcased regarding Curtis – referencing a comment he made at the conclusion of the case. Splainer apologizes for the implication. More talk, then Summer pulls Nino away.

At a bank, Nino pays Summer 35k. She’s taken aback a bit and thanks him. Nino appreciates the passion and recommends she not go hard at lawyering in order to not get burned out. They discuss some more the processes of the DOJ.

**Oh, the Irony:**

TL;DR: Nino drives recklessly and kills a cop. [Don’t get too excited, no RDM Chavez yet.]

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino goes to the PD to reacquire his possessions that were taken. He spots an officer who says he desperately needs to get to the powerplant. Alright, Nino asks for permission to speed and use nitrous: permission granted. He drives recklessly to the powerplant, where the cop then asks for Nino to kill him. Sure thing, can do. A hit to the back of the head and down he goes. [The guy playing the cop accidently respawned at the scene and needed to return to continue his story in the situation.]

A few yards away, Nino sees Tony and Saab. Nonchalantly, they explain that they came to the plant to do something but it had already been hit, dammit. Something else about a news reporter. Nino says he just drove recklessly and killed a cop, smiley face.

Answers call from Thalia, who heard he was arrested. Nino says he got out of the charges and just killed a cop. Nino goes into deep depth about killing the cop – Thalia joins in the details and they discuss efficient ways of torture and killing.

Back at the PD, Nino casually tells an officer he recklessly drove to the powerplant and took out a cop. Confused, he stands in silence for a bit pondering then repeats what Nino just said slowly. Anyway, can I get my pistol and shit? Nino then offers the cop a ride and again asks for permission to speed: permission again granted.

Nino crashes outside of Pillbox, flies through the air, and lands in the middle of the road – Thalia runs to his aid. CG are in Pillbox and cuffed to their beds. Nino now informs Bayo and other officers he recklessly drove to the plant and killed a cop. Bayo hands over the stuff he took off Nino earlier. (Pistol, taser, bat, and lockpicks.)

Nino talks to the voice-acting guy who keeps changing his voice to mirror prominent members in Los Santos. He takes his retainer out to reveal his normal deep voice. He’s been in the background all day with continuous changing voices. He works for SecuroServ, a physical security and cybersecurity company.

Red tow truck spotted. Nino drives off with the voice guy in his S15. Short talk, then drops him off at the courthouse. Tony wants to know more about the situation at the power plant.

Nino spots 4 women dancing on the side of the road with boxes.

**The End of Saab?:**

TL;DR: Tony admits he and Saab were trying out thermite at the powerplant. Saab is in the morgue?! Multiple people try multiple things to resuscitate Saab. In the end, it requires some new tricks to return Saab back to the land of the living.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino calls Tony up, what was up with the weird questions? Tony tries to set up a nonchalant meet but Nino ‘accidently’ hits his car, prompting Tony to run out from hiding and jump into the passenger seat of the S15. A few seconds later and Nino determines the LB wanted to practice thermite at the powerplant. That’s terrorism, Tony! Test it in your house!

Nino gives the names of Hutch and OTT. Nah, just kidding. Why do you want to know, Tony? Tony answers a phone call, Saab’s dead?! To Pillbox! Speeding along, wait, where’s Tony, wtf.

At Pillbox, Nino calls Thalia for entrance to the morgue to see Saab. Tony arrives. In the morgue, Saab is seen lying on the morgue table. Tony and Siz are distraught. [Saab accidently hits E and respawns.] Nino tells those in the room of a middle consciousness/physical place, a beach, in between the world of the living and the afterlife. Infinite variations of these beaches, multiple planes, etc.

Saab’s body is seen again. Tony slaps Saab yelling at him to wake up. Holy shit, a pulse! Tony blows air into Saab’s mouth. Chaos. Brenda tries something. Saab’s heartbeat is mistaken by Siz to be a bomb. Nino ERPs, but not with who you think. Tony.

Back in the morgue, Summer says everyone must have a box. Saab seems to have passed on. Nino feels he must have a box. Brenda decides to kiss Saab. Doesn’t work. They move Saab’s body.

There’s one last thing to try: Tony suddenly blasts some dancing music and busts out some moves. Nino joins. Thalia watches. [New dance moves were recently added to the server and everyone’s been having fun with them.]

A few minutes later Saab comes to! Nino wonders if Saab saw a beach. Death Stranding is real?!

Saab’s back, but only with only one eye open. As they walk up the stairs, Siz is standing next to a smoking car. Inside. The. Building. Okay. Tony considers throwing Saab out a window. Nino quietly tells Saab that’s a good start of his alpha-ness. Tony overhears.

Another fight with Tony and then a talk with Thalia. As Nino leaves the hospital in his S15, Tony’s car remains vacant in the middle of a lane while he chats on the sidewalk. Nino lays down the horn, and the van behind him does the same until Tony gets back into his car and drives off.

A random asks if Nino would like to invest in Erin’s feet pics – as apparently Nino has money and likes investing. Not at the current moment…

### **Episode 117 [Oct 29, 2019]**

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/518537105

**Executive Summary: Nino has a good day of cocaine and participates in several tactical missions under the leader Bravo 6 along with Payne and Dimitri. Another episode of General Hospital.**

**“We’re Going Dark – Bravo 6”:**

TL;DR: Nino humors a man dressed in full tactical gear (Captain / Bravo 6) in tactical missions to save the world along with Dimitri and Payne. Some deep shit is learned about a part of Dimitri’s past involving the DOJ and Bovice.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Cocaine for breakfast again. 6k to Harmony representative for car service and repair kits. Nino calls back a guy from earlier: he mistakens Nino for Sahara and Sahara for Nino then abruptly give coordinates for an extraction point followed by a “Do you copy?” Nino says “Copy.” ‘Captain Price’ then says he’s going dark.

Nino arrives at the location of the coordinates. A man in full gear asks Nino’s status. Nino says Sahara is an investment company, wink wink. Further information is classified unless the man provides evidence of a clearance level high enough. He does, and hands them over. Nino says he has affiliations around the world and lists some countries. The man in gear says he’s looking for operatives from the KGB in Los Santos. Intel of a tactical nuke inbound. Cyanide pills from Humane Labs. Meanwhile, while he briefs Nino and another guy, he makes continuous arm motions to demonstrate. He needs to know the base of the Russian operations. Nino presses “A” and the troops are about to be rallied. They are going dark. Over and out, to the next extraction point.

Tactical entry in the passenger seat of Nino’s S15. Switch to the Granger. This guy’s got a combat knife as his only weapon. Nino is constantly praised by the guy [CoD game voiceovers during playthroughs repeated over and over].

Payne is seen in the middle of the street talking to no one. He doesn’t respond to Nino’s questions until Nino picks him up and puts him in the Granger [scuff, he wasn’t actually there until Mehdi picked him up]. After an existential crisis, Payne puts his car away and joins. Dimitri is pulled into the scene. Onto the next set of coordinates, it’s a serious matter. Payne is questioned if he is a spy. Payne is confused af. Nino continues to gather the troops.

Payne is briefed and then decides to also press “A”. Dimitri is picked up…after Nino runs him over. Going to need a doctor. Payne starts to test if he can make commands to the man, identified as “Bravo 6,” or “Captain.”

As Captain carries Dimitri into Pillbox, Payne questions what Nino is doing. Response: this guy’s mentally unstable, but as he is armed and dangerous, I’m going to see what he’s up to before looking for help. Cause he’s either headed to Parsons or prison. Plus, the last time Nino was approached with a situation like this, the guy Snake actually had c4 on him.

Payne says he knows who’s harboring Bovice: a judge. He’s shown the loc to like 10 people to “spread awareness.” Payne also says he’s 99% done with his project for Nino. Talk on being a volunteer EMS with Payne.

Inside, Payne is talking to a cop and references again the importance of getting intel, and getting in then getting out. Nino reloads the last game checkpoint as they get back into the Granger. Repeated mission. Special abilities questioned of those in the car. Dimitri says ERP. Payne says he’s a Navy Seal because he went to Old Navy and bought a seal shirt. Talk on shopping.

Suddenly, Captain starts yelling at top volume that they need to take tactical cover and then jumps out of the moving vehicle on the highway. Payne follows suit, leaping out seconds after. They crouch alongside the highway. Nino and Dimitri calmly stop the car and hit the deck as well until Captain orders the soldiers back into the Granger.

With perfect timing, the Russians pull up alongside them and start talking. Oh shit! Off they drive, the Russians right behind. A car accident later Captain gets out and starts requesting info from the confused Russians. Tactical nuke coming. Burner phone handed over. Russians determine this guy has beef with some Russians and get offended, but play along a bit and drive off without any fire.

Dimitri to be used as a diplomatic informant. At Harmony, they search for footprints, etc. Nino, Payne, and Dimitri discuss Bravo 6’s mental state. He returns and they ask if he knows Snake. Payne thinks there could be a drive by and crouches behind the Granger. Nino enjoys a line. Trigger arrives and services the Granger. Woman with blue hair, Danika, questioned military style who she is and her identification. ID, stat!

Payne and Nino stand aside and Nino learns Payne is at risk of being kidnapped by the Ballas at any moment: he’s made them quite angry as he is refusing to sell houses they want. Bravo 6 runs across the street to confront some people in ski masks. Nino and group watch with binoculars. Doesn’t look like he’s in trouble of dying. $4500 paid for service. He returns to the Granger and states he received tactical weaponry – combat pistol acquired.

They drive to an overlook of the prison. Payne gains rank to Private Mark 2. Nino runs over Bravo 6 while repositioning the car. Nino is ordered to do pushups from his captain until he’s done scouting. Nino does pushups. Nino wants to know how to get to rank captain. Payne pushes “?” for the tutorial. Nino pays for the tutorial, 1k. Bravo 6 acknowledges the microtransaction. Dimitri wants a tutorial too but doesn’t want to pay 1k. Nino pays extra money for an XP boost. For the money, Nino can only take one person with him. Payne chosen.

Bravo 6 begins with the tutorial. They go through introductions and the man, now identifying as Commander, goes through the rank order. Payne ranks to Private First Class. Nino tries to buy more XP. They choose to skip the exposition. XP finally takes, Nino’s now First Class Three. Pay to win working so far.

More rank gained by drinking a Mountain Dew. Next rendezvous. Eats Doritos, goes down in rank. Fuck. Dimitri’s credit card denied, poor guy. They arrive to a bunker and investigate. Nino attempts to help but steps on the footprint evidence, ruining any chance at IDing it. He’s ordered into the frigid waters, where Payne and Dimitri are instructed to point and laugh at him for shame. The water is too cold and Nino goes down to hypothermia. 911 called. Bravo 6 says Payne has the highest body fat percentage and orders him to lay on top of Nino. Dimitri joins. Payne gets a higher rank and celebrates over Nino’s cold body. Nino comes to to find Payne and Dimitri lying on top of him. Cocaine given.

EMS arrives. Put into the back of the ambulance. Driver insists there is nothing in the back in a suspicious way. Pillbox, new doctor with blue hair (name?). Ducky oversees as it’s her first day. Ducky makes some remarks that things could be fixed. Some fun verbal confrontation. Ducky says he’s watching Nino as he points at him and leaves to the next patient.

Judge Stanton is part time receptionist for Pillbox. “Dammit,” he says, as Nino offers him money and his condolences.

Outside, the Granger is missing. It must have been taken by KGB operatives!

Sodas given by a man who is dressed like Ricky but identifies as someone else – he exclaims the Ricky people of a peaceful operation.

Nino, Payne, and Dimitri continue to vie for higher ranks. Nino pulls out his Sultan. It’s been nerfed, they get Dimitri’s 4-seater.

Mission acquired: get the Granger. Coordinates lead them to the lake. Tf?

Bravo 6 calls Ian for an Escape Room event for his squadron. Another fake Ricky shows to give away free repair kits and gets a yelling Payne in his face to shut the fuck up. Two of the four in the group already have done the escape room, so they decide to pass.

Payne gives the next coordinates: they are approaching the location where Payne thinks Bovice is being harbored. Payne thinks the DOJ is helping harbor Bovice, as the house used to be owned by a judge. In the barrio, they silently crouch towards a house. The Ballas pull up. Nino pulls one aside and questions if they dumped a black Granger into a lake today: he denies any conflict today and any action with a Granger. Nino is pissed at whoever put his car in the lake. He offers the Ballas 10k if they are able to find whoever did it. This Ballas rejects the contract, “I’m good.” Nino remarks not accepting is disrespectful, and the E picks it up when he learns it’s just information he should give to Nino should he come across it.

Payne leads them inside a house, in which Bravo 6 attempts to breach the door before the key is used. This is Midas’ old place. Lots of cameras, weird stuff, potential weapons. Gun shots heard, Bravo 6 accidently shoots Payne – the ricochet! High squeals of panic and out the door payne runs. He hits the deck and stays on the ground before they all make a break for it.

Maybe this is a chance to take down the DOJ? Nice! Dimitri works for Bovice? Long silence before verbal denial. What does Dimitri know that they don’t? Oh god, we need a boat for assured secrecy for Dimitri to talk!

Boat acquired. Less fear of infiltration. Cocaine. Dimitri explains how he has keys to Midas’ house. He was approached by a judge – 300k offered to him to kill Bovice. Papers signed. He reads the contract: he was given a blank check by the DOJ, and it was even signed. He bleeps out the particular judge’s name. It was him and two other people involved. Damn.

So what’s he going to do with this contract? Doesn’t know yet. They agree to keep this information of Dimitri’s contract between them only.

They need more oxygen tanks to infiltrate the yacht. Back to shore. Stat!

Mirror Park is a weird name. Is Mirror Park a hideout for KGB operatives? Payne?! Payne starts to deny some actions…and doesn’t finish his sentence, instead stating he needs to go to the bathroom. Bravo 6 helps an unwilling Payne out with that in the car. Nino says he needs more drugs. Off to Integrity.

“Tactical nuke incoming!” suddenly heard. The car swerves on the road and Nino squeals to a stop. Bravo 6 is found on the ground several yards away. To Pillbox! Stat.

Nino takes the opportunity to stock up on coke while waiting for Bravo 6 to get treatment.

To PD! At least 7 fake Rickys doing a protest outside. Protest rally. One fake Ricky approaches and gives them a peaceful care package. Another fake Ricky leaves the group, saying they’re terrorists. The peaceful people keep yelling and. This last fake Ricky says they’ve been blowing up all the cars outside PD.

Bravo 6 calls for a new location. Nino finds Eugene giving his story of all his wars to Bravo 6. Nino quickly presses the “X” skip button multiple times. Offended, Eugene says he’ll skip Nino – uh oh, a time loop potential. Let’s not do that. Maybe we need to reload the tutorial. Tutorial reloaded for Eugene’s benefit.

In the background, the Rickys scatter as gunshots start going off and firetruck sirens are heard – firetruck brought to hose down the protestors. Tutorial paused to enjoy the show. Mask and Fiona join to watch. Nino approaches a cop and gets a fire extinguisher in his face.

Tutorial resumed. Sergeant Angel approaches – she’s inquired about who she is from Bravo 6. Eugene quickly pauses upon seeing a cop. Payne suggests to just resume. Nino suggests to reload the checkpoint and start from its beginning. She can’t find the “X” button so leaves.

Nino does a line and is offered an exclusive line for money. Scammazed.

Operation: debrief on top of Pink Cage. Arrive, tactical exits. Checkpoint saved!

Brief on Snake. Eugene’s here: he’s got lots of info. Bravo 6 has to explain what “going dark” means to the newbies to the squadron. Mission: Humane Labs, prison break, something along those lines. Payne wants to abort. After some criticism over his decision from the others, he simply runs away. Nino follows.

Nino explains his interaction with Snake showing him the c4 and the events with the cops that transpired after it. This situation may be spiraling out of control, and they cannot be associated with the such of a prison break or the like. It’s been a fun time while on drugs, but the time may have come to get out.

Payne officially disengages from the squad and walks away, falling off the roof in the process. A lost trooper.

Nino questions the current objective again. Intel shared on Snake. A woman dressed in a black leather jacket, black leather gloves, ripped black jeans, converse, and a ball hat and scarf smokes and says she’s a lawyer and can help.

Nino says he’s going dark and salutes his commander, wishing him the best of luck. He finds Payne and they go to a clothing store. Nino finally changes his clothes into dark wash blue jeans, white Yeezys, and a white shirt.

The sight of Eugene with a gun chasing a low-running alien is seen from Garage Q. Dimitri picks up Nino and Payne in his car. [Disconnected.]

Nino looks at new cars. Dimitri and Nino pick up Payne from Pink Cage and return to PDM. Looks at Schafter, v12. Nino attacks the idea of putting names on cars for marketing – it’s exactly what Payne Real Estate has in the works.

Milton and Annabelle ERPing in the office? They deny. Dimitri outs himself as a virgin.

Nino test drives the 299k soccer mom vehicle. Does well on the streets. Does well on the mountain. Everyone’s having a fun time talking about crepes then they suddenly flip through the air multiple times and lose all 4 doors. They all live though! [Disconnected.]

Sees Randy. Gomer. Dimitri. OTT. Talk on a bitch bill (which would make the use of the word “bitch” illegal) under consideration in Massachusetts. Etc. Leaves with Dimitri and Curtis. Nino remarks on Curtis’ “Friends” like relationship with Jenn. They talk to a woman named Daisy. They play a points game based entirely on what the men consider as her social status. Nino offers her a chance to add points if she visits him later. Annabelle phone call.

Dimitri is a real one and lets Nino know about his ERP with Thalia. Does he have clamidya? Pillbox. Talk on tea. Sesame. Jenn. Bruce. Kiki. Yeezys admired. Back inside, they learn it will take a week to get test results back for Dimitri. Woman outside. Fake Ricky Apples tells of an extremist other fake Ricky. Angel walks by and quickly takes off a red head sock, which is part of the fake Ricky outfit. Inception!

More women outside Pillbox. More lines crossed, more women running away. Back to Pillbox. Nino and Curtis hide in the backseat as Thalia walks out the back doors with Pixie and talks to Dimitri. Dimitri plays it off as they’re sleeping. Thalia and Pixie under the impression he wants a psychiatrist session – they learn that’s not the case and create an excuse to cancel the appointment.

Dimitri attacks her appearance and gets a punch with a flashlight and a yell. Off they drive. Nino now calls Thalia and remarks on her suburb psych skills. Under the lure of his company trucks, he convinces her to meet with someone for business. It’s Dimitri of course, but she doesn’t know that. They go to her office.

Thalia says the hospital is on lockdown because of a gunfight and that Pixie was shot. People dying left and right. To Pillbox!

No cops in sight. Thalia’s casually standing with a group of people talking. Ducky says Dimitri is free of STDs. ERP discussion with Ducky, Dimitri, and Curtis. Nino pulls Thalia aside and questions her fake story. Nino references his emotions and his totally clean intent. Nino offers his hand to shake as for professionalism purpose.

Ian gives Nino a document for review concerning his escape room business. Nino gives a few suggestions for the proposal.

Behind the hospital desk Thalia, Nino, and Curtis find Annabelle and Dimitri ERPing. Continuous conversation. Nino and Thalia fight again. Talk about ERP limits with Ducky. This episode of General Hospital with ERP concludes.

Talk outside Integrity. Vinny, Annabelle, Sun Moon, and super-steroid user Kelly. Nino pokes a muscle with a knife point and enrages him. Buck’s back after his long vacation of 3 days! Yay! Talk on ERP with Buck and Dimitri.

### **Episode 116 [Oct 28, 2019]**

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/518535230

**Executive Summary: Nino keeps up with some of his gun pushers. JJ and Nino discuss Los Santos gun distribution efforts. Dimitri, Jenn, and Curtis get into more chaos.**

Fleeca bank. People. Annabelle is dressed as a dude. In S15, Annabelle says the bidding for the Ferrari is public – Nino suggests escrowing and questions the current bidding process. Nino refuses to participate in the bidding unless there is an escrow in place. A deal: if Nino wins the car, he’ll let Annabelle help him sell it (as his custom car is coming in soon). So it’s in her best interest to get him the best price.

Nino updates Annabelle on the loan business progression: she will be one of the first lenders, but the company is not quite ready yet.

Dimitri calls. Tuner shop – races going on.

Vinny is updated about the loan business: in progress still, taking it slow with the foundation. Vinny is additionally instructed that he will need to give spare keys to another house to another man of Nino’s. Same deal as last time. At the resort. Vinny told to sell the Tec-9s, which will arrive in the shipment, are to be sold at 7k from him and he is to pay 5k to Nino. Best operators get the best cuts. Competition of power.

Talk on multiple Rickys. Talk on cars. Nino requests the keymaster for Vinny. Mel calls: he knows that Eugene has done work for Nino in the past and he wants work himself. Eugene is a good intern, but he sure does talk a lot. Talk on house payments with Vinny.

Speedy calls and requests guns in code under the pretense of Harmony repair kits. 30 count. Done, to be sold back to Nino at $4.5.

On his way to meet with Mel, Nino…gets hit by his own S15 in the air after a bounce and remains motionless. Cop shows, he calls EMS. EMS puts him in the ambulance and they drive to Pillbox with sad music. Medic crashes and dies. Sad music continues as the cop Ripley pulls Nino’s body from the wreckage. Ripley takes Nino the rest of the way to Pillbox. Ducky takes over: all he does is talk to Nino and Nino returns to consciousness.

At the impound lot, a man identifies as Andre is dressed like Saab. Another dude, (Jobie?) talks to Nino about a commercial for Sahara – he just needs a voiceover guy. Uchi called: he’s ready for it. Bruce also scheduled for voice acting. Uchi says Ramee’s complaining again. This guy (Jobie?) asks about management opportunities under Nino – is referred to Bruce and Cluckin’ Bell and told to impress by working up the ladder. S15 pulled from the lot.

Overpass with Mel and others. A woman talks about her cosplay.

Nino leaves with Mel, who is in need of money for his Lamborghini. He offers whatever services Nino requests, a blank check, a freelancer. Nino inquiries about what Eugene told him. Just materials. They see a guy dressed like Ricky on the side of the road but he says his name is Chris. What’s up with this Ricky thing? Protests that lead to riots, chaos.

Mel assures Nino he can get shit done. He is okay with anonymous work.

An angry Kiki found. Nino admires her ass and she softens right up.

**Right-hand Man:**

TL;DR: Nino and JJ discuss the gun distribution efforts and the future.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

JJ says Charles ran into a gas bump and blew up about 10 people, JJ himself being one of them. Nino says they are now at 6 or 7 distributors for hardware. Harmony is primary hub. Guns distributed by these pushers in a timely fashion kept at rate given get better future next deals. This ensures market stays healthy. Lack of info though on what PD is picking up: would be nice to maybe befriend a cop.

In light of Harmony being the main hub, JJ will be given a set of keys to something Nino has in construction – along with access to a certain terminal. Warehouses/separate places movement for inventory. JJ will help manage these deals with distributors. JJ orders as many Tec-9s as he can get. Scorps to be sprinkled in. Nino is waiting for gossip on the Deagle before he starts putting those on the streets more. JJ to be given a sheet with information on current distributors and their set price points.

Any issues with getting ammunition? JJ hasn’t noticed any personally. Nino mentions Raja and suggests they exchange Tecs for ammo. Sounds like a good plan. Nino now mentions his doubts between information provided by Raja and Rudi that doesn’t coalesce. Before any deal is made with QF or the Bikers, this must be settled on what happened and where the lie originated.

JJ says a similar deal was offered by Raja to Harmony. Business is business. Nino and JJ plan to come to a trade price separately and will compare numbers to see if they match.

Next weapon? Scorps or Draco? JJ recommends the Scorpions. This will be the next gun brought into LS after the Tecs.

Nino calls up a psychologist and enjoys some coke. Psychologist says he isn’t too crazy. That’s good. But he does do something with crayons. Nino requests a prescription for oxy. Jenn argues 5k for 100 pills and that they are all in pain and in need. In Pink Cage, Nino pays 7k for almost 100 oxy pills. Excited, Nino mixes oxy and coke and shares with the occupants in the car.

For fun, they actually shoot some shots in the direction of the PD. Then make a break for it. Nino then says they should all dress like Ricky. To the strip club to look for Carmella.

Suddenly the car leaves. Nino and Dimitri freak out, gotta stop a murder! They catch the car and Jenn and Annabelle are seen. Car leaves again. [Disconnected, and switches to CoD.]

### **Episode 115 [Oct 27, 2019]**

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/518534491

**Executive Summary: Nino hangs out with Dimitri, Jenn, and Curtis: they film a po- um, a movie.**

Cocaine. Nino calls Jenn for advice for Dimitri. She offers to give suggestions. Dimitri calls and says he gave himself a makeover. Nino spots him: business clothes with glasses and a shaved head. Inspired by Nino. Nino’s impressed. Seems he also copied Nino’s inadequacy to hang up the phone…fuck. Some patience and he finally clicks the button. Chat to Fiona in Garage Q. Edward, OTT, some more people. Talk about a car that’s up for auction soon. Talk on pets.

At Pillbox, Nino and Dimitri meet with Jenn. Also Flippy and (?). In the Granger, they update Jenn on Dimitri’s dick story and his current predicament of no juice. Dimitri shows Jenn a hat trick – he takes his fedora off why saying “M’lady.” Jenn: “Sure, why not.” Curtis joins.

Bikers place. Reed gives a bag of coke to Nino. Ghost calls to tell Nino he already sold all his guns. He kept at the minimum 7k per and even sold over for some Tecs. Damn, nice. Another shipment scheduled for GSF. Back with the group, Nino suggests they get haircuts at Herr Kutz.

At Herr Kutz, Ghost gives Dimitri a consultation. Nino stays behind after the appointment, and Ghost hands over 110k. GSF knows what’s up.

Parking ticket from DuPont. Nino invites JJ to his movie filming.

**"Betrayal for Dimitri":**

TL;DR: Movie filming with Dimitri, Jenn, Curtis, and some others.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Filming begins at the Comedy Club for the start of a po- um, a movie. Nino and Curtis discuss Carmella. Jenn and Bruce pitch in. More filming, now with Dimitri and Annabelle. More people show for acting parts. Photos taken of Dimitri for a movie poster. Zee given some cocaine to spike everyone’s food.

Filming planning continues near Pillbox. Fancy house. Jonathan/Cameron (real name is Jonathan but Nino refers to him as Cameron) calls, then arrives along with JJ. Cameron goes to put on a green suit.

Nino tells JJ his plan with the distribution of guns – the competition in play. Who can move the most guns the quickest, under the assigned parameters? JJ to get another drop in 24 hours – he’s the only one thus far to receive anything other than just the Tec-9s. Nino remarks on the ammo shortage – possibly will include Raja. But this is a conversation for another time, after the movie is filmed.

Nino, Dimitri, JJ, and Curtis further discuss the movie – Nino jokingly assigns an ERP role to JJ. Allen arrives, as does Cameron, now in a full-body neon green suit. JJ gets the villain role because of his British accent. Zee preps some food. Nino’s food comes with some mixed in coke. They all share a beer. New villain: Bruce, with his deep voice. Cameron in his green CGI suit pretends to be the family dog. Dimitri and stepmom (Violet [portrayed by Lyndi, not Sareff Azteca]). Curtis as stepson obsessed with hookers, drugs, guns, etc.

Filming commences outside, then they film inside the house. **THE SETUP**.

Next scene is outside again, with villain Bruce ERPing with the woman as Dimitri’s character realizes the betrayal through a window of the house. **THE BETRAYAL**.

Eddie arrives on set dressed for a porno – Allen had told him it was one. Wonder what gave him that idea. Maybe they can fit him somewhere in the movie?

Another scene filmed inside. **THE CONFRONTATION**.

Move locations to the next set. Dimitri goes down, fuck, not our main actor! This is a good publicity stunt to generate more revenue when the move releases, of course. EMS arrives and steals Dimitri, who seems to have amnesia. Nah, he’s alright after a quick trip to Pillbox.
Back at Yellow Jack, they attempt to film a driving scene [but all get comic sans].

Nino and Jenn have an actual ghost paranormal experience at Benny’s.

Scene filmed of Dimitri driving to Yellow Jack and walking in.

15k to Jenn, the director. The next scene begins, with Dimitri ordering a drink at Yellow Jack from Eddie playing a gay bartender. **THE DESPONDENCY**.

Suddenly, Bruce shows behind the bartender, who is encroaching on Dimitri’s space. He knocks down the bartender and other customers. They make up and put the past behind them. **THE RETURN**.

Eddie fixes up and cleans the Granger for the next scene. Actresses play the role of escorts as Bruce and Dimitri leave together from Yellow Jack. **THE ESCORTS**.

They conclude filming and pass along congratulations. Movie to be released soon.

### **Episode 114 [Oct 26, 2019]**

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/518533203

**Executive Summary: Nino holds reservations on Dundee and the Bikers, but is giving them a chance. Nino, Kayden, Jerry, and DC host a party planning event.**

Nino sees Ducky and chats about stolen cars and consequences.

Dundee requests a meet: he says the Bondi Boys are not doing well financially but he and those with him are able to gather materials. He pitches this to Nino. He has over 1k of almost every material. Nino requests 100 of each with as much alum, steel, and metal as possible. Dundee gives himself a deadline of 48 hours. He will also aim for 100 gold bars. No deviation from contact with Nino outside of this correspondence are the strict rules. Dundee requests ammo and tools. Nino may provide. Dundee additionally gives himself a deadline of 7 days to start some legit business(es).

Nino maintains reserves on Dundee and his group – he will drug him as a test in a few days to observe if he talks. He will also probe his businesses. We’ll see how Dundee fares.

**The Lost MC Found:**

TL;DR: Nino runs into the Bikers on the road and Rudi catches a ride. The Bikers could potentially join the race of pushing Tec-9s.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

The Lost MC Bikers spotted! Rudi invited for a ride. Nino remarks that he hasn’t done business with the group in a while. Rudi says Reed pushed an order but apparently didn’t follow up. That was when the coastguard upped their activity. Nino says the Bikers spoke too much in the past: something was said the Raja. Rudi denies. Nino wants to know why his name was moved around. Rudi says he and his group do not name drop. Still, gotta chase the source.

Rudi has been selling Tec-9s low, at 5-5.5k. Another potential gun distributor in the competition, the Bikers. Nino needs to speak with Raja first before he offers a deal, which would set the incoming Tecs at a minimum 7k. Rudi says he can obtain lockpicks, etc. Nino complains about the DOJ and police department meddling with legitimate businesses. Rudi gives a similar story involving Raja and his business, as well as his own place being raided because he had a…hatchet. The fuck. The lack of an efficient legal system.

The story overall is not adding up. Who’s lying? Raja? A biker? Hm.

Nino starts gathering people for a later event. Guy with a business proposition(name?) gives an elevator pitch. In the casino parking lot, Tessa shows with Reed. He’s taking a driving test! Ha. El Tesso. Guy continues his pitch: taxi cabs. Nino offers a 20k investment for his taxi cab company in return for him to differentiate between what he offers vs others. How does he generate business in a city like LS? Availability, mostly. Etc, Nino asks the general questions to probe his knowledge on his business proposal and thoughtfulness. Nino also requests a formal business proposal. More investment money if he does well. Nino gives 20k seed money. Nino also provides Bruce as a contact as they part ways.

**Party Time:**

TL;DR: Nino, Jerry, and Kayden host an event that involves two contestants separately planning and managing a party: winner gets 30k.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Two party promoters will each throw a party with a budget of 15k – judging will take place to choose the winner, who gets 30k as a prize. Interviews to determine the two contestants / club promoters. Auditions at the gym. Tweet goes out to initiate.

DC is invited into the management of this event. Nino, Jerry, and Kayden judge the contestants by their looks. Coke. Bouncer DC shows and Nino brings him up to speed. His friend is Bubba.

Auditions begin. 1st is Kevin. He gives a demo of a song track called “Shut the Fuck Up”. 2nd is Metemahaan. Not a clear talker. 3rd is Joey. He likes cocaine. 4th is London. Masquerade themed party. 5th is Ted. Legal party. 6th is Arturo. Yay, DJ and block party at Jamestown. He even does a party trick. Arturo for the save! Chosen contestants: 1st place Arturo and the team of Joey and Kevin 2nd place.

Off they go planning a party. Nino, Jerry, and Kayden look for women. Eugene calls, want these gold bars? Not right now, busy. Dimitri picked up. Rambling. Some Russians found on the ground. Dimitri recognizes one of them. EMS on the way. A Natalia picked up, they want to user her as a barometer to test out the parties.

The Vagos group tries to elect Kayden and then Natalia as a stripper for their party. They keep raising their price. Jerry, want to be a male escort? No! Chat outside Pillbox. Suddenly Kayden sends her tires squealing and leaves. Who said something wrong?

Nino checks out the Vagos party. Car on display, music/dj, dancing, product. Around a corner, Arturo gives Nino some pure shit. Now it’s a party. More dancing, quite a few people.

In transit to the next party, Nino promises Dimitri he’ll stick by his side as his juices aren’t working lately.

They arrive to the second party, Joey and Kevin’s. Mansion, colorful lights, pool, music. Everyone gets in a line [they escort each other one by one] and do the conga. They all dance in unison. Like 15-20 people connected now, all dancing. After a while, they slowly disconnect. An angry man yells at Nino a few sentences. Nino says, “what did you say,” holding his bat. The man says, “I have no idea, it was my ringtone,” and looks at his phone.

Nino’s given cocaine on the side at this party too. There’s also a taco truck. And Zee’s catering. Vodka shots handed out for free. All refreshments free. Edward’s on top of things for Cluckin’ Bell. About 20 people go silent as the man’s ringtone goes off again. Everyone gathers on top of some rocks to listen to one of the party hosts give a rap. It concludes, and everyone jumps into the pool.

Swimsuit judging time: 2 dudes and one woman, Violet. They flex and dance for points. Deliberation. They should give them all a bat and leave it up for interpretation to see what they choose to do. First guy spins the bat on Tessa’s finger. Second guy decides to hit a rock into the pool. Violet’s turn…she hits a tree a few times. Another contestant says it’s a foam tree and promptly gets a quick batting from Violet. Winner: Violet, as she’s a woman in a bikini.

Nino and Kayden determine both parties were good. All are called for an announcement. Arturo and Joey/Kevin each give their accounts of how they decided to spend their budgets. Nino proclaims both parties as winners. 30k to each, yay!

At the big bank, Nino awards Joey and Kevin 30k and Arturo 30k. Arturo gets an extra 1k for his dead dog Junior. Outside the bank Funnyman’s ringtone is heard again to Dimitri’s surprise.

**Funnyman’s Purpose:**

TL;DR: Nino deliberates on Funnyman’s next mission.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Funnyman walks off with Nino: he says 2 people have since tried to kill him recently. He was in the ICU and now he recognizes his identity is more known. Nino inquires if Arthur asked him to kill Raja – short answer is no. Funnyman just went after Raja as Arthur indicated Raja was the man causing him trouble; Funnyman simply wanted to rid the problem and saw an opportunity to do so.

Funnyman says he has no reason to stay in LS unless Nino provides one. Nino is blunt and to the point: Funnyman’s services are useful at times, but it is indeterminate if and when he would require them. Funnyman takes this as Nino not caring. Nino returns that he does in fact care – he is simply being truthful. Information from Funnyman Nino does not need; there are plenty of other sources. Nino will consider if there is a position he can find for Funnyman that contributes value. After some more moments, Nino knows what Funnyman’s next mission is. But we do not, we’ll have to wait and see.

### **Episode 113 [Oct 25, 2019]**

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/518532548

**Executive Summary: Nino creates more gun distributors with the same guidelines in LS – pitting them against each other. GSF, Raja, Speedy, CG added to the distribution list. Nino attends Zee’s fair, which is more like a car fair.**

Cocaine. Harmony. QF, finally a mechanic. Nino sees Raja strolling just outside. Quick chat, future business possibility. Claims of neutrality and more problems stemming from lack of communication.

Nino checks his email and sees that Javier will be in the city soon:

**GSF is Back:**

TL;DR: Nino sets up GSF, with Ghost as representative, for gun drops for distribution.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Ghost and Nino discuss Quinn. Nino says he was just interested in ERP. GSF wants to get back in the game with Nino; they’ve been quiet lately. Plan to meet.

Ian calls with his business proposition: Nino tells him to prepare his pitch for later.

Nino and Ghost go for a ride. Ghost explains the absence of GSF these past few weeks. Gift from Ghost: some cocaine. Nino explains his limitations of importing guns and inquires potential buyers and the cut green expects. 20 at 5.5 deal – if done successfully and efficiently, price can improve. Move at 7k or up, whatever, stay true to deal. Need a clean house. Ghost has one. Nino sets up the keymaster to meet with Ghost to initiate this drop house. Boom, done. Nice and clean, thus far.

**Strike a Deal:**

TL;DR: Nino and Raja strike a deal for offering packages of hardware/extensions/ammo. Both benefit. Raja might become a gun distributor with future drops from Nino. They both discuss Arthur and Dundee.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino informs Raja he will need some repair shops to fix his chicken trucks. Talk on Los Santos’ economy. Raja’s products, priced cheaply, are still taking heat that they’re “expensive.” Matter of stability, need to make some money at least, nature of the business.

Nino brings up the idea to sell packages – hardware and extensions. Talk on providing ammo. The Wizard, a huge part of the market, has been threatened by Nino – his pull on the market will remain, but to a lesser degree.

Nino remarks that the coast guard is affecting his importing process by adding more risk. Raja says Raven has been making some tweets about port waters.

They discuss that some product doesn’t move – therefore, focus is put elsewhere. Risk vs reward is off for some inventory. Nino offers to bring a shipment of Tec-9s to Raja: how much you want? I can do 50, but I don’t want to flood the market. Makes sense. They agree on 20 with 7k being the price point. Raja plans to throw out the 7k number after some other distributors push out that price for a bit.

SMG clips – only offered via QF now apparently. Small profit margin though. Only known supplier. This is a neat problem. Nino cannot find any quick suggestions.

Raja needs a supplier for VGs for part of his supply line. How many depends on demand for Uzis, which might change with the price change of the Tec-9s.

Talk on profit and utility. At Integrity, Raja demonstrates a silencer extension with a standard pistol. They inspect the bullet casings. SMS pistol, untraceable. Email from terminal indicates keymaster is ready for Ghost to show his house and provide a spare set of keys – Ghost is called and informed. Back with Raja. Talk on durability and lack thereof.

Nino questions Raja and his interactions with Arthur. Raja is under the impression that Arthur has left the city. Nino returns that misdirection is a powerful tool. Nino brings up Maxy, of The Fallen, and that Maxy told him it was all Dundee’s doing earlier rather than Arthur. Now onto Dundee, think he’s a drunken snitch? Raja answers that Dundee does talk when drunk.

Nino talks to a poor jobless Luigi in Garage Q. Email from keymaster indicating Ghost was able to make the connect and the house is set for future drops.

Granger time. Gomer picked up. Erin shows and gives: 535 plastic, 579 rubber, 551 glass, 745 scrap metal, 680 steel, 564 electronics, 657 copper, and 678 aluminum. Nino does math. Just kidding, fuck that, Erin did the math so he goes with her numbers. 32k paid to Erin. Nino places the materials in a house.

Nino allocates 30k to Bruce to represent Sahara International at Zee’s fair. Something like have Ramee dressed like a chicken, and then the pecking order: Uchiha > Chang > Ramee.

**Another Continental Hotel:**

TL;DR: Gomer and Erin present an idea similar to the Continental Hotel based in the VU.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Gomer says Arthur told him the VU was going to be left to Sonya, but she’s not around. Gomer wants the VU. Nah, it’s mine, returns Nino. Gomer inquires about contracts. Now to his idea: people use the neutral VU to sell secret contracts. Membership fee necessary. John Wick idea again. Nino questions if Gomer has spoken to Arthur. He says nope.

Nino poses a challenge to Gomer: make this idea pop without the VU, show what you can do. There have been some locks on the VU that have prevented the VU from reaching this Continental Hotel status – no one thus far has been able to unlock them. Gomer says his whole life is gone, and all his problems derive from other people’s bullshit. Nino questions Gomer’s drive and power; can he create and maintain this business? Gomer is certain he can.

Nino again says Gomer needs to prove himself. Gomer blames Sonya. Gomer says he doesn’t like conflict.

Nino will prepare something for Gomer to test him to determine if he is someone he can back. Nino again says Gomer needs to make something out of nothing – trust some of your closest people and give contracts – build a framework of people to rely.

Good results for Nino is success and progression, not necessarily just in terms of money.

Gomer wants closure with Sonya’s disappearance. This gonna affect business?

Swap of the Granger for the S15. Bucky texts that he’s leaving the city [CinnamonToastKen shelving Buck as current lack of purpose in LS].

**Gimme More:**

TL;DR: Speedy requests more Tec-9s for distribution. New drop scheduled.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Meets with Speedy, who gets reprimanded for, well, looking like himself. Where’s the disguise? Go and change.

Take 2. Speedy updates on the Tec-9s he is distributing. He wants more, 30. Nino may also get ammo for Speedy, so he can sell hardware and clips together. Drop soon, within 24 hours. Nino requests payment. Speedy will pull his boys together, but Nino will get paid. Nino says he can afford a line of credit if need be. Speedy’s going to focus on this product more.

**++Vinny:**

TL;DR: Nino schedules a drop for Vinny: more Tec-9s incoming.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

In the Tuner Shop, Saab asks if Nino has a Braab shirt for sale. Uh, no? 10k a pop. Holy shit. Nino and Vinny leave and plan to party. Vinny gives an elevator pitch and wants to get back into business with Nino. Okay, he’ll get a test order: sell at least at 7k a pop Tec-9s. Nino gives a little insight into some of the reasoning behind the distribution plans.

What is the “hap” in “haphazard?” “Lacking any obvious principle of organization” – Google. “Hap” derives from an old meaning of “good luck.”

Vinny admits he needs a wig and shows Nino his unsightly hair. Speedy calls about some “missed payments.” At harmony, Speedy, Arturo, and some other Vagos show off their car while Speedy slips money into Nino’s back pocket: 120k. Call with Ramee. Nino informs Ramee, still angry about his last paycheck of a $1, that he’ll be in a chicken suit at the fair tonight. Talk with the Vagos on cars coming into the city soon and marketing ideas for the fair.

Sayid tweets the Payne Real Estate website is updated. Mario from the barrio Vagos member quickly finds a dark web access point. Haha.

Talk with Bruce on the fair. Meanwhile, Vinny tries to ward off his “godmother.”

Pixel Perfect Productions guy, Jobie, shows and asks Nino to listen to his business idea. He’ll reach out on Discordia. Bruce shows. Erin shows. Nino gets in between Vinny and his “godmother” – he sparks up some drama by telling her Vinny keeps eating Olive Garden. Nino connects Vinny and her again and enjoys the show as he smokes. 4k paid to mechanic. Nino and Vinny conspire to kill this woman. A crowd now questions her legitimacy.

**Zee’s Fair:**

TL;DR: Nino attends Zee’s fair with others with pre-bought tickets.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Zee’s fair begins as a car fair. Nino and Ramee pick up Chang in the c63. Tuner shop, still a car fair. Lot of new cars in this county [special event server, TheWiseGuy showing off cars]. Back at the docks, Bruce has two semis set up in a presentation format showcasing the Cluckin’ Bell logo.

Nino tries to help Saab out dealing with Kayden by pretending he’s someone else. The LB are all sporting bleach hair lately too. Bleach Bois. Ferrari test drive with Milton and coke. Mass call for everyone to go to their respective booths. [Removing players from server who don’t have tickets.]

Nino and Bruce discuss why they’re even at the fair and last-minute plan their booth act. Zee explains the fair format and Ramee is finally convinced to put on a chicken suit. Some chaos, code brown is called, Kayden fires a shot [and is kicked from the server for violence]. A dude in a hotwheel brings Nino to a clothing store. Event was oversold on tickets, people getting kicked.

Some other guy dressed as a chicken is now the main chicken (name?). Nino and Bruce make this guy create a pamphlet for Cluckin’ Bell then decide that’s enough work and will enjoy the show. Back to a car show. Pinto given control over the booth. Kayden writes 3 marketing paragraphs for Cluckin’ Bell and Sahara International: she gets the okay to drop these pamphlets around the fair grounds. Allen, Jerry, etc. Ghost confirms his keymaster visit. Milton, Jonelle, Annabelle, etc.

### **Episode 112 [Oct 20, 2019]**

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/518530473

**Executive Summary: Nino and Luther try to get Dimitri a woman and learn Cockney rhyming slang. A new iteration of an underground illegal fight is born. Judge Stanton gives the final verdict during Chang Gang’s court case.**

New outfit: white collared shirt with white pants. Dundee calls to inform he has the contract complete. They plan to meet to transfer the product and Dundee does an excellent job at pretending to be a local on the transfer. Product: 1091 alum, 118 gold bars, 1 VG, 1602 scrap metal. Nino stores in a house and calculates payment amount.

Boris and Russians again check if Nino is good. Some fun internal conflict with those in the purple van.

Dundee receives his silent payment of 100k.

Nino joins the queue to have his car serviced at Harmony. Lot of other cars and other people. Now the only mechanic, Speedy, is found motionless on the ground. Apparently he ran himself over. [Actually true: https://clips.twitch.tv/CulturedMagnificentWhaleYouWHY) Welp. Nino questions Buddha’s new look. Talk on doctors and vasectomies with Bruce and Buddha. 3k paid to Jordan for car service. Random cop car outside. Chats with paranormal woman, who Nino invites over to his place to “get the ghosts out of his house”.

Nino and Buddha discuss CG’s court case which is tonight. Dog man dude shows, Nino gives him a hamburger as a treat.

Nino joins the racer group on the side of the road. Nino, Dimitri, Curtis, Eddie, Tony, and Tommy discuss Dimitri’s action last night. A Vagos member shows. Ballas and Russian van shows. Eugene shows. Dimitri continues his ERP story. He also says Annabelle doesn’t remember any of it, but he insists it happened. Nino reminds to keep distance from her now. OTT here too.

Race begins: Nino rides shotgun with Tony driving. Over a fence, too much NOS. [Disconnect for Mehdi; lot of people seeing red.]

Nino listens to some tracks by some guy named Lil’ Tuggz – skeet skeet.

**Granger Adventures Continue:**

TL;DR: Nino and Luther try to get Dimitri a woman. We learn Cockney rhyming slang.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Tuner Shop. Nino leaves with Eugene and trolls him with the fuel reading. Picks up Dimitri. Another car accident with Tribble. Talk with Dimitri on sexual desire. Meets with Luther. They talk about different ways of living life, women, etc. [Server disconnects.]

Back in the apartment, the three decide to have Dimitri order food and answer the door in just his underwear. Nino calls up Kat, the paranormal woman, and gives her a ping to loc. Then men set a radio channel for comms. Gameplan: while Dimitri does his thing Nino and Luther just are hanging out watch TV.

She knocks on the door and Dimitri explains the paranormal activity while doing his best to woe her. Nino and Luther move off the couch from watching their football game to let Dimitri use the couch as Kat keeps scanning. Jerry’s name comes up – they need to either get Jerry laid, killed, or let him watch ERP. Now outside, Nino and Luther listen in as Dimitri and Kat quickly ERP. Nino pays 3k to Kat.

New location. Scuffed entry and exit, need another one. Ranch house. Dimitri is going to pretend to be an adopted Nigerian prince. A woman, Lydia, is pinged. Nino and Luther pose as dignitaries. Nino picks up Lydia to bring her to the house: inside, Dimitri talks in his accent and plays the piano. He makes his prince demands.

Dimitri convinces her to do yoga and says his accent is difficult. He preps himself behind the counter then returns to Lydia doing yoga, taking off his pants. This action freaks out Lydia, who asks to leave. Nino tries to play it off. Doesn’t work, she wants out.

Nino drives her back to her bike and offers her a loan at 30% interest for 2 weeks: she is also informed of Cluckin’ Bell work. Then Nino cucks Dimitri. Then at a perfect moment Dimitri asks if Nino is getting it in over the radio with her nearby able to hear. Nino pays her 2k.

Nino crashes into a east-side London bloke. Cockney rhyming slang. Nino tries to join the game. Doesn’t do too well, the dude offers to teach. He now joins Nino, Luther, and Dimitri. They all get a neat lesson. [Hell if I know what he’s saying, I cannot translate.] Nino nails a custom sentence: “Hey, what’s going, you wanna slobber on this John Wick?” To shorten this, “Alright, love, want to suck on my John?” Oh, so it infers that Wick is known, so the last part of the sentence, the rhyming part, can be left out. Kinda like a code in a sense, as other people around may not necessarily know the second word. Good for usage in front of the cops to sell drugs, etc. China = China plate = mate. Cemetery = cemetery gate = mate. Welcome to Cockney rhyming slang.

Nino requests he talk normally. This new code is cool, but exhausting. Luther has been listening the whole time like it’s a podcast: he doesn’t know this code. Discussion on football/soccer name discretion. Where the fuck is everybody else in the city? Let’s make an event.

**Dirty Fight Club:**

TL;DR: Not much going on in Los Santos, so a new event is born: a modified version of Fight Club, secretly held in an underground garage.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Dirty Fight Club: winner gets 10k. They all check their contacts. Ramee says Red now owns Fast Lane, no longer Sun Moon. Now Ramee’s worried about some membership money, but he can’t legally get it back as there is no official contract.

People start to show for the event. Nino marks the rules and disclaimers on a note. London China shows again, with food and bandages. Numbers and names, dice roll for round 1. Bruce vs Eugene: Bruce. McCaffy vs Mel: McCaffy. Fiona vs Dumbass: Fiona. Willy vs London: London. Nino catches a loose jab and bandages. Denzel vs Sparks: Denzel. Next round - 2! McCaffey vs Fiona: McCaffey, but DQ as out of ring. Denzel vs London: Denzel, but DQ as spam. Bruce vs Buddha (stand in): Bruce. Bruce, the knife lord, wins!

Big pile of bodies. The Granger is sent out with all the bodies. Gonna need a doctor next time so Pillbox staff isn’t suspicious… Private meeting invite list for the second iteration of this type of event. Discussion on how to improve the next one.

**Before the Trial:**

TL;DR: Nino and CG connect before the case. Vinny pays off CG’s debt to Nino and also gives him cocaine.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

At Chang Gang’s house, Ramee is still complaining about his lost money. Red is also in the house. Talk on cars coming in and Fast Lane. Talk on the big court case in an hour. There’s a Weazel News article. Uchi calls Nino Nina. Vinny called in as HR.

Vinny and Nino go to the bank for Vinny to pay Nino the debt CG has to him. A stressed Vinny starts spewing his doubts of the case and that the judge was reassigned and more judges will be at the case than usual. Nino says he puts his trust in Arthur to try to reassure Vinny. Vinny pays 187k for a past shipment to CG. 1 coke brick from Vinny given. They do lines and return to the house. Uchi does cocaine for the first time and starts running around like a happy chicken.

Sure, we’ll take hardware if we’re not given the death penalty, says Vinny. Uchi’s still in high spirits from the cocaine as they drive to the next CG loc.

**Chang Gang’s Court Case:**

TL;DR: The long-awaited court case involving prominent members of Chang Gang takes place.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino and Scarlett dice roll. Now rolls with a judge. Wins 60k. Packed court room [court server completely full]. As LaBarre gives strict rules, Ramee cuts a line. Leading judge: Stanton. Ardson, LaBarre, and Coyote visible as well for the panel. Defendants, represented by Murphy, Chang, Vinny, and Uchiha face the charges of murder and terrorism. They are pleading not guilty.

Stanton begins with a speech. DA makes their statement. Murphy gives his statement: it’s an interesting twist, Murphy plans to argue that his clients are motivated by profit and opportunity, not by idealistic concepts of destroying the government. It relies on the prosecution to prove. [Mulvaney defense, says someone in chat – sorta seems relevant, I don’t know law though.]

Sergeant Bobby Smith called to stand. Norm Yoder(last name?) called up next. Then Wayne Ardson. Next Brittany Angel. DA Lawrence Splainer is fucking good at his job. Stanton deliberates in his quarters. Now, Ducksworth up for questioning. EMT Sam McEntyre. Trooper Tony Andrews. Ramee pulled out for supposedly chewing chips. Few seconds later, “Cop down.” Alright, court break time.

Andrews back up. Prosecution side still smoking, uh oh Murphy. Now prosecution makes a fucking good statement which also references some tweets and items found in the pockets of the defendants at the time. Looks like a pretty solid RIP. Murphy immediately calls for a recess.

Andrews’ testimony was determined to be thrown out because cross-examination was not possible as West is not available. He returns to the stand for a second round of questions that the prosecution can use in their argument.

Defense time. Ryan Carthus called up. Objections go rampant. Prosecution confuses Ryan. Now he cannot recall past events consistently. Another recess requested by Murphy.

Prosecution makes their closing statement that the defendants are terrorists by aiding and should get felony murder charges and clothes color and time and suspicious video etc. blah blah. Defense Murphy gives his closing statement on the basis there is not enough evidence and lots of reasonable doubt blah blah. Recess while deliberation. Fresh air on the court steps.

Court resumes session. Stanton requests the defendants stand in front of his desk. Due to inconsistencies he found between police reports, along with other reasons, the decision is stated: crime of murder, not guilty. Crime of terrorism, not guilty. Case adjourned.

Party outside.

### **Episode 111 [Oct 19, 2019]**

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/518525919

**Executive Summary: Speedy is brought up-to-date regarding his portion of gun distribution, Rory and Nino continue to solidify the foundation for the loan business, and Rory and Nino host a dating show in an effort to get Dimitri a woman – which actually ends in Rory and Nino with women.**

Morning, coke and S15. Local car turns into Nino, off he flies. Gotta wait for EMS now. A cop arrives and makes sure medical is on the way. CID officer now takes Nino to Pillbox himself.

Nino chats with some others in the lobby of Pillbox after his treatment. One guy has a business proposal: a Jeopardy type thing, bi-weekly. Needs to figure out how to generate revenue. He has a basic idea on how it will work exactly.

Pulled over nearby Benny’s. Dundee shows briefly. 2k paid at Harmony for car service.
Eugene is informed Nino is investing in gold bars and is instructed to obtain 100 gold bars and scrap metal: copper and aluminum. Nino will pay in exchange above market value.

**A Speedy Opportunity:**

TL;DR: Nino and Speedy discuss his gun shipment and subsequent distribution. Vagos have the potential to pick up new incoming imports themselves.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino confirms with Speedy, well disguised in an obvious sombrero, that he received his last shipment of 20 guns and encourages him to use it until he loses it. Nino expresses he wants the city occupants to desire the Deagle. The Tecs should certainly get pushed. Nino has more guns in reserve, but he’s saving them for a later date.

Speedy is to sell his incoming guns at the max he can sell: better to start up. Need to watch value and economy. They discuss price fixes for guns: 7.5k assigned to the Tec-9. Nino will devise a formula to remain consistent with the other manufactured types. As long as volume is moving, it’s the right price. Not everyone needs to be able to afford hardware.

Speedy says police are looking into renting owners in the southside – info derived from Payne.

Nino states the importation of hardware is more difficult now than before as the coast guard has stepped up their game. He offers to Speedy to make pickups himself but makes sure to note the danger in exchange for the cheaper price.

Speedy is prepping two alibis for the Vagos in the southside: a taxi business and a lawyer business.

Nino and Speedy split then meet back in the city after Speedy acquired the money. The pose as two people rolling dice as Speedy pays 60k for his recent gun shipment.

**A Foundation Set:**

TL;DR: Nino and Rory connect to discuss the foundation of the loan service business.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino and Rory meet to talk about the loan business. For consistency, they choose to keep all loans 10k – 20k. Just to start, and they’ll run tests of the high and low to see which are generating more revenue. Set at 2 weeks duration. 5k loans offered at 50% interest and 10k+ loans offered at 30% interest. Credit checks on people would be nice – is this possible? Something to investigate, but only judges may be able to do it…

Payne (Payne Real Estate – housing), Allen (Premium Deluxe Motorsports – car repo), Eddie (Tuner Shop - cars). Unlimited capital offered by these silent partners. This business needs to make these partners money with limited effort. Percentages going in – dividends. So, 20% in gets 20% of the profit. Need to avoid paperwork hell.

Lots of ways they don’t lose – even if someone cannot pay back a loan, they can still pay back in some manner: like via the compensation of their collateral or working ‘for free’. They simply don’t lose.

Loans can be offered on others’ behalf as well: as in workers who can deal out loans and simultaneously collect. Always available benefit, 24/7, plus gives these loan tellers an opportunity to upsell. Payments to these tellers salaried vs. investors/percentages.

Structured re-payment possibility. For example, if one pays off half, an extension can be granted to avoid fees.

Talk on breaking knees. Nino and Rory share some lines of coke.

**Rory and Dimitri:**

TL;DR: Nino hangs out with Rory and Dimitri. Some chaos, some RDM. They try to get Dimitri a woman by hosting a dating show.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino decides to hang out with Dimitri, who is at the jewelry store for some suspicious reason. As they head over, Nino and Rory prepare for a cop interaction. Eugene and Apples are also at the store, with a stolen vehicle right out front. Eugene says he’s acquiring the things Nino requested. Wow. Big mouth. He tries to backtrack and say he’s getting the cigarettes. Sure, very sly. Eugene then tries to sell Nino a cock ring. They check out PruneHub on the computer in the back room. Back to the counters, some legal enforcement are strolling around outside. Eugene says the jewelry store is dropping some serious shit volume at the moment.

A judge put out a hit on Dimitri? Milton calls about Viktor's old house – he and Mya wish to take photos of the inside of the property because it’s the only one that is unfurnished in the city apparently. Hm.

Nino, Rory, and Dimitri arrive at Viktor’s house and wait for Milton. The agent calls back, he’s going to take pictures from the other county. Doesn’t seem to be any malicious intent.

Nino encourages Dimitri to seek employment at Cluckin’ Bell. Talk on ending lives with bats. Talk on Sahara banking. They spot a lady in a van and make a plan to have an accident so Dimitri can try out his new dick. Whoops, it’s actually a man. Abort. Two EMTs, MJ and Khloe, are outside Pillbox. Rory and Dimitri try talking them up but Dimitri approaches the situation way too quickly and the women run away.

Dimitri admits to going 33 years as a virgin. Talk on VR experiences.

At Pillbox again, Zee is seen standing next to a car. Nino “accidently” bumps it and the three men get out of the Granger to apologize and strike up conversation. Rory takes point. As the other man drives off in his car, Zee explains that the random constantly kept hitting her with his car and sounds slightly exasperated. Rory says he’ll fix it, he’s a lawyer and can legally assist. The random returns, and Rory raises his voice, yelling at the man to leave, even shoving him once. The random stays, and Rory now yells at Dimitri to whoop him with a bat. Down the random goes. Perfect turn of events. [Server disconnects.]

Talk in Garage Q about color choices for clothing and thots. Woman spotted: Nino, Rory, Zee, and Boe all obviously surround as Dimitri attempts to woe her. Name is Melony. Rory jumps in and easily snags her interest and number. Nino jumps in and does the same as Rory, scheduling a meet for later. Training to be a bachelor for Dimitri to be held.

Rory says he was married to Lees Gray a bit ago. Annabelle (Lector?) walks by (red hair Annabelle) and Nino and Rory again snag her interest and get her to voluntarily hop in the Granger. Nino calls a Dani and invites her to the dating show. Nino initially doesn’t remember this Annabelle as she explains how they met. Dimitri keeps getting shushed by Rory and Nino whenever he tries to talk.

Melanie spotted again. She accepts 5k to go on a date with Dimitri and gets in the Granger. Talk resumes from Dimitri as they ‘get to know each other’. Crash, and as Nino repairs, Rory pulls Melony aside for a quick chat.

Arrive at the resort. Loud resort type music. Nino leans as Dimitri keeps talking to Melanie and Rory takes notes. Rory now asks dating show questions. The next contestant calls: Nino invites her over and requests she try to outshine the first contestant any means necessary. A quick scroll on twitter reveals a bunch of women asking for the loc. Angel coming too. Blade [JPKMoto] shows dressed as a man.

Now women surround Dimitri. Milton came to watch. Dating show commences with 3 women. Brittany Angel joins to make 4. 1st question regards disliking a meal. Angel wins. 2nd question regards favorite toy, open to interpretation. Annabelle wins. 3rd question regards a choice of a vehicle, the bedroom, or the restroom of a club, again open to interpretation. Annabelle wins. Now the women contestants guess the length of Dimitri’s dick erect for a lightening round. Annabelle guesses closest. Now they actually measure. Melony was closest.

Rory now asks questions to the women. Then they’re given vodka shots and told to do “body shots”. Angel misinterprets and almost shoots Dimitri. Blade drinks her first shot before it’s her turn.

Angel is sent away first. Aggressive gal dude Blade sent next. Melony and Annabelle make their last remarks in an attempt to win. Annabelle wins. With her alone, Nino steals her away from Dimitri. Meanwhile, Rory snags Melony. Nino pays 15k to the winner Annabelle and she and Dimitri leave in the Granger.

### **Episode 110 [Oct 18, 2019]**

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/518525688

**Executive Summary: Contracts for Dundee and Eugene. Dimitri gets a new cock and celebrations are held. Gun distribution discussion with JJ. ERP. Maxy drops some high-value information. Curtis is offered a role in Nino’s loan business. Payne needs a front.**

Chats with Jerry. Nino changes into a white shirt, blue jeans, and white Yeezys. Harmony for S15 service. 4k payment to Dani, who remembers that Javier ran over her a while ago. Nino pays his supervisors.

He talks to Edward, who’s making some efficient progress at Cluckin’ Bell and staying well on top of things. A bout of people to be fired and a separate (hopefully) bout of people to be hired. After the call, Nino listens in to the Cluckin’ Bell truck radio channel because of his curiosity – and learns some classic lingo on the comms via Edward’s casual statement: “ Weather is still clear, traffic still is light, there’s not much going on, no sign of any Russians.”

**A Dundee:**

TL;DR: Nino learns more about the riff between Arthur and Raja – he confirms his thoughts after a chat with Dundee: Arthur was telling the truth. New contract given to Dundee.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Crash, coke saves. Repairs. Meets up with Dundee. Does a line with Dundee, who shares some of the internal conflict he had within his MC. Drama/rumors > Stuff > Revolt. Shitstorm, he describes it. Dundee wants to know more about Nino – what the fuck is Sahara? It’s an investment company. Dundee now states he wants a clubhouse.

Nino asks if Dundee tried to kill Raja on Arthur’s behalf. Dundee remarks that he cannot discuss club business, which implies he did. Seconds later Dundee spills all the beans: Arthur never requested – Dundee insisted. Dundee asks for info, Nino doesn’t give. Dundee sorta wonders if Nino is UC and reconsiders why he talked. What’s Nino’s involvement? Nino simply says he resolves things, and it’s best for Dundee not to know the details. He’s never done Dundee dirty; why would he start now?

At Dundee’s clubhouse, they stroll around and talk about the old members. Dundee offers his assistance to Nino for projects. Back in the S15, Dundee remarks that he knows Nino is more than he initially appears – this causes Nino to state that that is not the sentence to say to make him want to work with Dundee.

Nino decides to give Dundee a contract. Before handing anything over, he says this contract is to not be tied back to him and Dundee is not to speak of the contract until Nino asks. Additionally, Dundee is to provide and uphold a legitimate business idea as a cover for their dealings within 48 hours, otherwise the contract is void. Contract: metals (aluminum, scrap) and gold bars. Nino leaves Dundee at the resort, leaving him to find his own ride, so they aren’t seen leaving together.

**Work Order for Eugene:**

TL;DR: Nino reconnects with Eugene, who will be receiving a contract to fulfill soon.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino picks up Eugene from a traffic stop with a sheriff. They discuss his financial analyst work, or lack thereof. Talk on supply and demand in Los Santos. Can you acquire gold bars? Sure, like 100 maybe. Damn, 100. Contract incoming. Crash, flown out. Eugene and two cops all freak out. EMS arrives.

Pillbox. Might meet up with Curtis, Dimitri, and Luther later. Coke. Talk on the line between sending a message of interest vs sexual harassment. Etc.

Now regarding contract, Nino reminds Eugene not to talk about their dealings. Work order to Eugene soon.

**Another Win for OTT:**

TL;DR: Nino gets information involving Hutch from OTT.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino requests to meet with OTT and inquires what’s up with Hutch. OTT says he’s a dumbass, although he’s “one of my closest allies, he’s ride or die.”

Another win for OTT, Nino crashes, is flown out – as OTT emerges from the vehicle it suddenly blows and OTT goes down. Nino walks back to the burnt car and shares coke with OTT as they await EMS. Nino continues the conversation; Hutch’s actions were pretty stupid and OTT needs to reprimand. EMS arrives in a chopper. To Pillbox they go, and Nino hits on the female EMS.

Nino pulls the S15 from the impound and picks up OTT from the hospital. The only enemies currently for him are the LB. A car rolls by in the casino parking lot and Nino identifies Summer – he gives a call and asks about her activity while driving elsewhere. She didn’t seem to be following. Back to talking with OTT, Nino asks to be put on the waiting list for a new OTT song commission.

Nino picks up a random woman, Quinn, dressed in gang green when he learns she’s selling cocaine. After some back and forth about knives, with Nino alluding to his “knife”, he learns she’s good with 17k for the whole batch. Nino starts driving again, and sees Javier on the side of the road, who starts off on a good foot with the gang woman by calling her a hooker, enraging her. Nino puts an order for 5 bags for $1500 and pays. Javier orders the rest of her inventory. Off to her place for the product.

Sideswipe by two cops. Some debate on who was in the wrong, then they pay $3 to Nino for damages and continue their chase. Javier and Quinn talk business on a coke transaction. Violet shows, much to Javier’s excitement. Talk on respect and working for a living. Javier and Quinn make their way to the bank while Nino and Violet discuss Javier. She wants to shoot him, Nino says no and suggests the two hang out. She gets Nino’s number and says she’ll call if anything happens to Javier.

**RE: Granger Adventures:**

TL;DR: “Dickless Dimitri and the Cock Bandits” / “Raiders of the Lost Cock” / “The Dickless Tales of Dimitri” / “28 Dicks Later” / “7 Days to Dick” comes seemingly to a close as Dimitri gets a new dick and is baptized in celebration. Party held at CG’s house.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino says on the radio station he has Dimitri’s cock in his fridge. They meet up at Pillbox, start driving, and discuss options to reattach the new dick. Need a doctor. Mission to get some grocery items for Sun Moon. Need to pick up Fiona still.

Cluckin’ Bell truck going rouge, Nino learns via a phone call. Nino tells Edward to give Kiki a suspension for 3 days. Right as Nino complains about his day, crash. Talk on jellied eels, etc. Fiona picked up. Talk on perception and normalization. And reality. Back to talking about exotic food.

They harvest 2 carrots for Sun Moon. Nicolas Cage. Edward calls and updates Nino that Kiki was shot – the truck needs fixed too. Nino agrees with Edward’s suggestions forward and also recommends having Kiki pass a safety course before a suspension lift. Small vegetable food stand alongside road, pick up next on grocery list. Kiki calls, did you suspend me?! She starts crying. Nino says he’ll look into it. “Fucking lying bitch,” Nino says as he hangs up.

Fiona’s hurt in the back and Nino runs over the Korean lady (name?) Cops show, with a dog. [Admin playing as a dog.] Tribble stares at Nino and, with crossed arms, asks if Nino was the one driving as there are bodies all over the place. Offended, Nino says that’s a wild accusation; he’s a pro racer. [Suddenly disconnected.]

Pillbox. Instant chaos, multiple people downed. Back outside, they discover the Granger was towed. Kayden called. Nino rolls dice. Chloe brings out a bag of ice for them to use later. Nino, Dimitri, Curtis, and Luther share lines. Time to go. Granger. Wait, where’s the cock?! Kayden must have taken it!

They confirm they are good with purple. Kayden is confronted about the missing dick. Some dude in colorful clothes offers up his dick. They check it out, it works, they drive off. See Ricky on the road, who offers his expertise. Perfect, plan coming together. Ammo store. Dimitri has connects to oxy. Store for rubber bands for Ricky. Sees Dundee on the road, invites him and those in his car to the fun.

Arrive to hospital. Nino offers 5k to Ricky, who got diverted, to find out what Kiki has been doing to his trucks. Procedure begins. Nino calls a Danika from Harmony Repairs to get advice on “working on his car.” Nino comes clean and admits what he’s really trying to do – she actually gives suggestions. Next calls Gunn for advice. Etc.

Procedures begins, coke, Nino calls Violet up. Guy they’re operating on is named Collin, his boss is Kayden. Collin starts freaking out. They need to move, Kayden could be problematic and just learned of their loc. Humane Labs. A woman’s despairing wails and cackling are heard, wtf? They explore with guns drawn. Anyway, operation must continue. More drugs, suddenly Collin passed tf out. Violet informed of new loc. Violet picked up.

Violet now works her magic on Collin and Dimitri prepares the test tube. Perfect moment, Dimitri acts, Collin goes into shock. They test the random bottles of chemicals in the room, some that say “toxic hazard” on Collin. They carry him out, and more noises are heard in the place, making them hightail it. Gunshots as they leave. To Pillbox for Collin. ERP with Violet – Luther joins.

Granger. Bank. Pillbox to pay Collin 5k – he’s not there. They get the money and change clothes to avoid implication.

An LJ calls, wants to inquire about job opportunities for Sahara. Nino redirects to Cluckin’ Bell managers.

Slaughterhouse now, for the second part of the operation. Cocaine. It’s Nino, Dimitri, Luther, Violet, Curtis. Begins, Ameno plays. Conan shows and ends up offering to help. Dimitri gives a speech. Victory. “After multiple unsuccessful attempts, Dimitri finally was able to wield a working penis” [-courtesy of a chat comment].

Meet up with Vinny; they update him. Talk on Uchi. Dimitri to get baptized now. Arrival at a loc, and Dimitri gives a heartfelt speech before jumping in the river. ERP. [Disconnected.]

They change into suits: Nino in a black suit with red dress shirt and black aviators. CG house for party. Short chat with Edward on Kiki. Another speech given by Dimitri that concludes in a jump from the roof into the pool. Lots of people. Javier sneaks away with Violet. Car into pool, Vinny gets pissed. Group pics. Dice rolls.

Chips wants to talk, he offers coke. Nino pays 1k for 3 baggies and immediately uses one of them. Nino gives an extra $200. More dice rolls.

Chat with Vinny, who says he has some more cocaine and is looking to distribute. Vinny says he’ll do his cheapest price for Nino. Nino reminds CG of the money they still owe. Chat on upcoming CG case. Chat on product in the city, and what moves/doesn’t move: economy. Nino learns Red used to be in the high quantity gun market.

They talk numbers: no custom orders at the moment available. Price and volume. Market standings and supply/demand. Best way to distribute, start high, etc. [Server restart]

Nino does more coke. Ducky, Dimitri, Curtis.

**The Second:**

TL;DR: Nino and JJ discuss gun distribution: economy, volume, price, extensions, and potential group buyers.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Arrives at Harmony. Granger service by JJ, pays 3k. JJ then takes a ride in the Granger for a pirvate conversation with Nino. Discussion on hardware distribution and movement. Southside to get Tec-9s and also possibly AKs. Going to test out the southside. JJ gives current prices for some hardware. Nino’s going to try to up the drops.

Tecs need to move. Raja doesn’t have extensions for Tecs. Maybe give Raja some Tecs in exchange for some silencers for other guns? Package deals selling opportunity. Going to keep an eye on the market, doing volume this week at certain pre-determined prices. JJ provides his order request list for the week. Nino wants to move more Tec-9s and this number is raised. These will be multiple incoming shipments.

A concern: if people aren’t recognizing the fear of not dumping their hardware after use. Nino and JJ will keep an eye on this.

Nino wants to pull GSF back into the business – he just needs to check their situation and interest as they are a bit sporadic. The Bikers are definitely interested; they want a high volume of guns. Nino okays this transaction.

Nino mentions he spoke to Dundee and confirmed Arthur was telling the truth. The situation was just a clusterfuck due to the lack of communication. Now they need to come to terms.

**ERP Joint Session with Curtis:**

TL;DR: Curtis and Nino share an ERP session with a woman named Carmella.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Ellie calls, a Carmella is looking for a date. A trap? Oh, Carmella, that name’s familiar. [Disconnected.]

Buck calls, he’s going to check out Carmella as well on Lean Street. Siz calls and requests a meeting.

At Lean Street, a woman is dressed in red lingerie with Ellie selling her. Buck, Bruce, Milton, Fiona, Curtis, Mel, and a random few other people all join in seconds. Suddenly, Carmella puts a hammer down her throat. Wtf. Nino and Curtis swiftly bid in 5k. Sold. Contract includes “human trafficked.” Nino pays 5k. Nino, Curtis, Ellie, and pimpress Carmella leave.

Top of a mountain, what about on top the car? Eiffel tower ERP. Other ERP. Add in coke. Ellie comes over, 2k paid to Ellie for Round 2. More ERP. Nino and Curtis dip quickly, leaving Ellie and Carmella on their own for a ride. “Those who fuck together, heist together.”

Ellie calls Curtis and says Carmella’s already pregnant. Uh oh. Back to the mountain to bring her to the hospital to determine if she actually is or not. If she is, she “accidently” dies.

Vinny wants to meet at a bank. Curtis takes a phone call, says shit going on with Dundee and OTT. Nino says there’s lots of drama in the city, best to stay out. Chawa and Maxi Mersion rolling together, at least in the past. Chat on Allen and Pimp. Tweet by Carmella indicates she’s pregnant – this catches the attention and twitter action of Nino and Curtis.

**Meta Unlock with Maxy:**

TL;DR: Maxy gives an account of his experiences with Dundee, which also involves that feud of Raja vs Arthur.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Maxy arrives – he’s got a mohawk, brown coat, black gloves, and aviators. He gives his reiteration of Dundee’s old group and the recent events that transpired. The story of Raja vs Arthur re-emerges – Maxy explains part of his story involving being instructed to go after Raja. Dundee shot Maxy in the face and Raja saved him. Now Dundee wants to kill Maxy and all those who diverted. Meanwhile, Maxy just wants Dundee to stop coming after him, yet Dundee keeps aiming at his fiancée, sister, etc. “It’s just fucking tiring.” The cops are even questioning him via Dundee’s actions – Dundee talking to the cops?!?!

Maxy continues with his story. Maxy says the Doctor drinks and plays golf – this Doctor didn’t ask for a job, it was Dundee’s decision. Dundee gave his boys an hour to get Raja – little time to plan and little knowledge of who/why. Once he realized it was dumb shit, Maxy argued with Dundee, which led to him being shot in the face. This began his story. Dundee then proceeded to lose the support of more than ¾ of his crew.

Nino presses on why Maxy is sure Dundee spoke to the cops. McClane approached him and knew things only Maxy and Dundee knew – the cop also said Dundee told him. Nino asks for specific information. Nino says cops can lie – there may be an alternative motive. Nino asks for confirmation on a scale of 1-10 that Maxy thinks Dundee is a snitch. A 9. “Believable sources have given me the information that I need,” says Maxy. So no direct confirmation that Dundee snitched, but it remains a possibility. Even with his strong affirmation, he just presents one viewpoint, which could also be skewed by personal vendetta.

Curtis inquires about Raven. Maxy says his group, The Fallen MC, is going to push product they can get and do a protection thing at Grapeseed – neutralize the grounds. [Curtis is disconnected.] Nino, this whole time playing a random bystander to Curtis who has no real involvement, wishes Maxy well. Also, Curtis is involved in this too? Another information pipeline.

Granger. Pulled over. Erin tries to get them out of a ticket. Nino and Curtis tell Erin they tag-teamed Carmella earlier. Nino and Curtis discuss the conversation with Maxy and what’s bad for business. Dundee had given Curtis good money to just fuck up Maxy. Now on to Hutch.

Nino brings up his loan service, and keeping parts of the business internal. He offers a role to Curtis in this venture, which may very well become a highlight project for Nino.

Pulled over. Bruce calls and asks about the funds for the docks; Nino adds money to the account.

**Siz’s Offerings:**

TL;DR: Siz offers cocaine and a Fabergé Egg to Nino for sale.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Siz dressed up for his meeting with Nino: white suit with red shirt, which contrasts vs Nino’s black suit and red shirt. Paint colors of their respective vehicles also white and black. Talk on Dab’s old lambo, now owned by Siz. Then on the hooker Nino shared with Curtis earlier, or, as they discuss, just a hook up as she was a virgin.

Talk on cocaine. HOA offers services to Nino. Work to come soon. Siz asks if Nino is up to look at one-of-a-kind art. Nino drops the price of the coke to 10 from 14 – 13 agreed upon.

Siz returns with the cocaine brick and exotic item, a fancy looking egg of some sort – a Fabergé Egg. This egg is a jeweled egg created in either the late 1800s or early 1900s in Imperial Russia. Siz holds onto it as Nino says he’ll check if he knows any buyers.

At a bank, Nino pays Siz 15k. They part.

**Lack of a Front for Payne:**

TL;DR: Payne and Nino update on their loan business, Payne has some legal issues approaching with his HOA connection, and Payne is almost complete with his secret project for Nino.
*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Payne says judges and cops are starting to pay attention to Payne’s connection to the HOA. Nino says the HOA should become an LLC to promote a business relationship to help with legal matters. However, there is an issue with a member identifying as Vagos. Basically, HOA needs to become a business entity to fix this problem: Payne can say he’s contracting out work. Legal paperwork can then exist. Nino understands the concern.

Payne says he is 90% complete with what Nino requested. Location is out-of-sight. Nino worries the activity could be compromised – Payne assures it will not be: there’s a smart tech guy on their side.

Loan business is progressing. Future is looking bright. Payne reflects that he has a few uncertainties regarding Jerry. Nino says he has another lawyer for this: Rory. And Rory will only have one focus: this loan service. Keep it simple.

Nino suggests that Payne demand an efficient front for HOA: perhaps even have Erin run it. His business is on the line.

At Garage Q, LJ introduces himself in person and Nino remarks that Cluckin’ Bell is about to reopen hiring.

### **Episode 109 [Oct 16, 2019]**

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/518525221

**Executive Summary: An awesome escape room challenge, a new guy in LS has the adventure of a lifetime, and Allen is brought into Nino’s loan business.**

Line cut. At Garage Q, Nino encourages a promotion for Buck to Edward. Antho and boys show.

Nino and Speedy shall meet. Allen’s back in the city; will talk later. Edward calls back; Buck is set to go as a senior driver (except for some permissions issues, which Nino can do).

Speedy says Vagos are doing well; their only enemies at the moment are GSF. However, the police have upped their surveillance; they’re watching the whole south-side all the time. [Server goes down.]

Nino argues with two women in Benny’s that he is not a drug addict while doing lines inside.

Ian, the escape room guy, invites Nino and Party to Raven’s Slaughterhouse. Nino invites Curtis.

Nino hits the back of a police cruiser: the officer, Casterman, asks why Nino was up his ass. With his new knowledge that sexual harassment can be considered a felony, Nino says he’ll be pressing charges to the officer, who promptly calls over another officer, McCree. Nino calls Jerry to his loc and starts to file charges against Casterman with McCree. Jerry arrives on scene. Funny back and forth conversation ends with McCree screeching off and no ticket.

Jerry is now invited to the escape room event. They chat about the penal code and sexual harassment: its dependent on interpretation. Curtis picked up. Random guy on the road picked up: DC (David Chris), who used to be TJAJRJ the third. Is a hotdog a sandwich? Nino likens a refuting Jerry to the Jared from the Subway – who plead guilty in federal court to sexual offenses.

**Holy Fuck Escape Room:**

TL;DR: Nino, Jerry, Curtis, and DC participate in a super cool Escape Room Challenge. Will they make it out in time?

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Arrival to escape room. Group: Nino, Jerry, Curtis, DC. Ian breaks down the rules. Seems really well prepared. Inside they start. They check out the newspaper clips throughout the room and find some dials. More notes, some footstep markings. A key now to find. More clues. Much detail, such wow. Jerry takes a stab at a code – it’s right.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps – a man approaches in a mask, breathing heavily, holding a hatchet. Nino stays calm and quiet, as an earlier note instructed. Curtis freaks the fuck out and starts yelling. Jerry slowly and calmly states the word puzzle answer, oblivious to the situation. Nino forcefully shhs as the man makes another pass. None of them are hurt.

Nino gives an idea for a code – it works. Another key! Searching the carcasses now for another. More footsteps – they all remain still and quiet this time. They make it without a hitch. Back to note solving. A number chosen, Jerry finds the next key. Cipher time. They choose a wire to cut; it’s correct! New key. At the exit, 4 padlocks. Perfect, 4 keys! Success!

Turns out this group solved it in less than an hour: the fastest yet. This will be good to invest to shit out of. It’s amazing, very creative and well thought through. They review some more and discuss future business prospects. DC exchanges contact info with the group.

Nino gives a bandage to Fiona who fell off her motorcycle and convinces her to do a bump. The effects settle in; she starts running around, etc. Round 2 with Casterman about ramming asses after Nino is witnessed ejaculating from his S15. Casterman and Nino attempt to resuscitate a dead local.

Curtis is called for revival. The cop is still distraught at the local’s motionless body. Curtis suggests to move the body, but Casterman nor Nino seem to be able to pick up the body – the blood seems to have dried and cemented the local to the ground. The solution? Run over someone else for a new body. Hey, what about running over Vinny? Will work, but we now need a plan. Plan set, they prepare. [Why? Literally no reason other than creating RP.]

Another sheriff reprimands Nino’s driving and parking – gets a warning. Still waiting for Vinny.

Wanna get some bitches? Curtis changes the plan. Sure, why not.

Ass rammed by a sheriff. Nino gives excuses and Casterman’s earlier reasons for his argument.

Nino talks decorating with Darius. Darius Dekorations. Nino crashes into a pole and while repairing watches a cop successfully drift. Meets Curtis, who is in Tommy’s tuner car.

Nino pulls out his Ranger and is joined by Curtis and Tommy, and Jerry. Talk consisting of partying, the escape room, and the upcoming CG case.

**A Pet:**

TL;DR: Nino and crew have some fun with a new guy in LS, Woo Jin Han. Han learns about American women, gangs, gunfights, Chang, police cruisers, drugs, Eugene, Pillbox, etc. In the process, he gets shot, beat up, loses his dick, etc. Continuation of search for a dick for Dimitri.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Alongside the road is a random and some officers. The crew in the car again claim sexual harassment. The random guy is Korean and is invited into the Ranger party. Vinny picked up. Eugene complains about his lack of incoming work assignments. Pitstop with EMS for bandages. Uchi. Korean’s name is Woo Jin Han.

New guy means some fun to be had. They set up a scare for Han in the southside; seems to work. However, some gunshots were made, and the police show. Nino beelines it for Pillbox with everyone in the Ranger stating, “man bleeding!” Han is hurt. At Pillbox, they are questioned by the police. The crew shows an American vending machine and an American woman [Angel or her crime char] to Han. He is taught to say such things as “Go fuck yourself!” They decide to test out his new skills, and as they are walking out, Han says, “Are you going to get me shot again?”

Now they just gotta start some beef to initiate an argument. Chang! They prepare Han and tell him to go after Chang’s dojo as a last resort. On suggestion, he strides up to Chang just outside the VU, who is on a phone call, and demands he hang up. Chang ignores him completely. Then, argument! Han tests out his insults and his newly learned phrases. Not surprising, Chang is winning. Escalated to fist fight – Han goes down. Cop shows, Nino introduces him to Han as a pig and congratulates Han on not backing down to Chang. Conan and AJ(?) show. Han covers the situation, giving a story that he had too many beers at the VU. An EMT brings Han back up.

Now, Tommy gives Han a lockpick and directs him to an empty police cruiser. He gets in and starts moving wires. Vinny, Mike, and Erin join. Han is showed how to turn on the lights and sirens, then instructed to drive as fast as possible to the courthouse and back 3 times.

With crack now, they go to find the guy and instead find an empty bent up cruiser with the door open. They look for his body. He is found back at the VU with a repair kit. He’s given vodka and crack, then told to do another drive to the courthouse. They watch him whip by again. Another policeman in the area doesn’t seem to even notice.

They watch from afar as Han talks to someone from the south side. Wait, the south side guy is now repairing the cruiser for him?! The fuck? Damn. Meet back at VU. Makes it back to courthouse.

He’s given cocaine now. Next assignment? Eugene – call him old and keep honest. He begins with Eugene on Lean Street and argues that his shirt is pink. He doesn’t get more than 2 sentences past calling Eugene old before getting blasted to the ground. He continues to call Eugene old, though – he’s persistent! Back to Pillbox.

While Han is in operation, Eugene learns Han is still alive and runs inside saying, “Son of a bitch,” Choi does her best to fend off an angry Eugene from her patient. Now Choi calls Eugene old! Nino and Tommy come up with the idea that if Han doesn’t live, they can transfer his dick to Dimitri. Gonna need a contract.

Eugene’s pretty pissed: he now threatens everyone with a gun as the Ranger leaves the hospital with Han safely inside. Jerry joins the Ranger crew with a Eugene hanging off the side with a gun out. At the casino, Nino requests a contract written up by Jerry that if Han dies, he voluntarily gives his dick to Curtis. They include Buck into their endeavors.

Eugene interrupts, saying Han stated he was willing to cut off his dick. No one believes Eugene. Then they hear him say it himself. Well okay. Han quickly signs Jerry’s contract concerning his organs and money after death to go to Curtis. Need a doctor now – Eugene calls Choi.

At Pillbox, they all try to convince Choi to perform the surgery to remove Han’s dick because he “wants a sex change”. Choi defers to Doctor Martell – the plastic surgeon. Choi’s a neurosurgeon. They all get an anatomy lesson of the penis from Choi. Now she gives a short overview of sex change surgery. Choi continues to talk and the men continue to be men.

Choi is still refusing to do the surgery. The men ask questions about preservation, etc. Some EMTs brought into the discussion. They determine that an “accident” will permit his dick to be cut off.

On the road, they spot a crashed cop, who calls EMS for Han’s “broken penis”. They attempt to convince the EMS to chop it off. Nettie seems willing…initially. Hippie comes into scene, “Circumcision…is not your decision!” Talk on foreskin.

Back in Pillbox with Choi. She iced Han down too much and now he doesn’t have a penis. But neither does the crew. How to get it back out?

Nino calls up Conan to get his “expertise on something” – he sounds excited and agrees to meet.

Pulled over by the cop who took Jerry’s girlfriend. Tommy, in the driver’s seat, pretends to be Curtis after he handed over an ID with Curtis’ info. Conan pulled rank and called off the officer over the radio.

Conan gives advice about his experience losing his dick. He also details the taste. Conan gives the name of Garfield. The crew asks Conan to do the surgery; he agrees, but it has to be in the forest. On the road again. AJ and Conan continuously crash into things on their police bikes, much to the amusement of those in the Ranger. Like over 5 times each.

On arrival to a cliff, Tommy ‘accidentally’ knocks the two police bikes off the edge. Soon after, though, they all go down. They all equip oxygen tanks (actually not, oxygen bugged) and travel through the underwater tunnel.

Han gives another confirmation and they make their way through the door. Conan performs surgery in the elevator with several helpers. After, Clarkson shoots his own foot a few times. (Nino actually shot him, he just thought he shot himself.)

Back to driving on the mountain with the Granger. Real safe. Road again, seems a good time to try out some nitrous. Crash, repair. Surprisingly, they make it to Pillbox. Agnes! Nino pays 5k to Conan in return for him calling off the other officer yesterday. Dick talk. Need ice. Debate on whether or not they get into dick harvesting.

Buck to hold a driver’s union for Cluckin’ Bell workers? Maybe, would be funny.

**Allen’s Brought In:**

TL;DR: The current state of affairs and future of Cluckin’ Bell is discussed and Allen is brought in to Nino’s loan business.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino meets with Allen: first order of business is to discuss legal business of Cluckin’ Bell. Talk on supervisors and Uchiha’s induction/success. Automated payments soon for the factory. New updates for processes. Truck damage to come soon.

Allen is fully let in on Nino’s loan business. Nino expresses the many different ways to make money with this. Allen suggests utilizing the HOA for repo-ing. Stock options for investors. Leverage opportunities. Breaking of knees if need be, you get the picture.

Nino alludes to his group similar to Marvel’s Avengers – but doesn’t give names of the members. Specific abilities, but more out of the spotlight.

Allen has a small feeling of allegiance to CG; he does specify he will never give information about Nino or his business to CG, however.

### **Episode 108 [Oct 15, 2019]**

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/518522346

**Executive Summary: Arthur is talked out of a murder, Dimitri almost gets yet another dick, the BBC business improves, Jerry has an intervention, Eddie’s looped into the loan business, JJ and Nino ponder gun distribution specifics, and Raja gives his perspective on his feud with Arthur. Oh, and Nino kills a man.**

Granger. On phone with Annabelle, sounds like ERP, but she says she’s going down Mount Chiliad. Plan to meet later.

Kayden and Nino exchange insults of the others’ clothing choices. Turns out Jordan is a war veteran, but for the other side – he used to fight for a terrorist org in Iraq. How the hell did he pass the background check to be a cop?!

**Annabelle:**

TL;DR: Annabelle wins the deal to service Nino’s Granger; they talk about cars in LS, material production, and Nino’s new loan business.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

At Fastlane, Nino checks to see the cost for upgrades for the Granger: just over 74k. Oof. Nino asks for a payment plan possibility with Annabelle and suggests ERP. Annabelle gives a lower price offer: she wins the deal.

On the ride to the tuner shop, Annabelle talks about an issue she had with a car. They stop at a discrete location and they discuss cars. Nino questions Fastlane’s product quality with cost. And exclusivity. Especially with changing business practices.

Another craft opportunity for BBC, Annabelle asks. Might work, says Nino. Talk on house ownership. Annabelle wants in on the loan business; she has experience. Tuner shop for the service: Nino gives 53k.

Might meet with Curtis, Dimitri, and Luther later. Nino tests the upgraded Granger on the highway with Annabelle. Crash, testing armor of course, repair.

Nino puts in an order of materials from Hutch/Chad(?). Tequila-la. Coke, talks ERP with Dimitri. A small crowd of people do lines off Fiona’s back. Dice rolls: 5k to Luther. More drinks. Short time later, Nino, Curtis, Luther, and Dimitri all go together to Vinewood Bowl. Talk on cars, women, food. [Disconnected.]

**“Unresponsive, Dead”:**

TL;DR: Arthur wants to rid himself of a annoying problem; Nino talks him out of it, instead encouraging conversation.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Arthur requests to buy something from Nino to solve a problem: best hardware you have for a million five. Coastguard is an issue at the moment, but I will see what I can do. Arthur says he can probably get rid of the coast guard – the fuck.

Arthur says the businesses in LS are being fucked by the same guy, but doesn’t supply a name. Arthur is looking for 4 people to equip. “But if I am going to be accused of trying to kill a man, I am going to show him what it is like to try and kill a man. So once they are equipped, I will put out a bounty…let’s just say a 2 million dollar manhunt.”

Nino guesses correctly: Raja. Arthur figured he would expedite the process of this problem with Raja annoying him.

Nino asks Arthur to be fully transparent. Did you send Funnyman after Raja? No. And what about Dundee? No. Did either of these parties feel any pressure to act? No, I’m quite clear and obvious with what I want. Do you think Erin believes you sent these individuals out to get Raja? Originally, no, but now I’m not so sure.

“I think it would be very foolish to go after Raja – I think that’s going to bring you more pain than it is trying to end his life. I think both of you individuals, based on my own assessment, are acting on information that is not complete…let’s just say t a lot of bullshit going on both sides…I think you’ve gotta talk to the man, quite frankly.”

Arthur will set it up. Per the building in construction, the rooms are done.

“Let me know when, cause I’m tired of everything I’m doing getting fucked over. I’ve got other shit on my plate,” says Arthur as he slams the door to his car getting in.

Nino calls Arthur back to the Granger: “this is me trying to keep your fucking business alive. You understand that? Watch the tone”. Arthur apologizes.

Arthur is operating on limited information; with some communication, he can realize the truth (or more of it, anyway). This feud with Arthur and Raja is shitty for business.

Back to Fight Night, Ramee wants to tell him he’s cute. Nino refuses Ramee’s suggestion to go do cocaine. Angel walks up and jokingly asks if they want to shoot up a hospital. What about the courthouse? Hmm, they joke. Nino watches the fights as a sponsor of the event.

**Dick Story Continuation:**

TL;DR: Dimitri again gets a new dick, or not.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

A bunch of people leave together, the crew as of late and including Eugene. Uchiha had marketed his dick so the mission continues from yesterday for Dimitri. On the way, Dark joins without hesitation.

Email from the terminal: payment transferred: $1,228,500. Payment for recent purchases was deducted from this transaction.

Driving along happily, then suddenly Vinny and Dark fall off the vehicle. Vinny gets back up but Dark remains motionless. Reinhardt comes for Dark and the Granger continues on its way. Eugene gives the story of an onion. On a dock, they boat over to an island with a laboratory.

Operation again with Gorilla glue on Dimitri, but not before some coke. Ameno plays. Operation unsuccessful; Uchiha’s company fell short. Into the water Dimitri goes, Nino and Uchiha directly after. Boat back to the mainland, Nino keeps falling out. Where’s the Granger? [Scuff, Mehdi relogs.]

Chaos at Pillbox. Nino gives recommendations to Curtis for his new role of distributing guns. [Server about to restart so gunfight initiated at nudist colony.]

Talk on cars with Jerry: Nino gives a spare set of keys to Jerry for the M3 and 2k. Talk on new car imports coming in with Tommy in the Tuner Shop. Tommy gives the story of how he was almost killed by that Misfits guy. Nino pays 4k for the service of his S15.

**First Invoice for the BBC:**

TL;DR: Nino and Saab talk about future suggestions for the invoices from BBC to Sahara.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Phone call with Saab, will meet to discuss invoice and do payment. Nino spots a truck driver for Cluckin’ Bell and motions him to pull over: quick few tests he passes and the worker is back in the truck.

Nino and Saab discuss costs and prices for BBC materials. They check out the first invoice for BBC – Nino makes a few suggestions and they clarify the numbers and profit margin. $69600 to Saab. Nino gives expectations to Saab for BBC: knowing the frequency of deliveries and knowing the numbers. What goes into manufacturing, exactly? Labor, material cost, maker. So breakdown the expenses. And have projections. These will help with determining the numbers. Additional suggestions for future invoices.

Payne can’t find any of his cars, a tragedy. To the courthouse. Picks him up, to some house. Thalia calls, sounds drunk, says Jerry has relationship issues. They’re on Prune Street now with Eugene, Mel, and Buck. Nino listens for a bit then dips to go to Jerry.

**Intervention:**

TL;DR: Thalia, Nino, Payne, and Larry intervene for Jerry – which really turns into an intrusion for everyone else.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

At Thalia’s office, sees her outside and Jerry and Larry inside. Nino calls Payne over for reinforcements. Nino putts his psych skills against Thalia’s. Knocks on the door; Payne’s turn to berate Jerry. Payne lost his glasses, Thalia’s fucking a cop, spotlight on Thalia instead of Jerry for a bit, Thalia and Nino are wearing matching outfits, Larry returns and explains Jerry’s breakup, Nino says women are a waste of time and relationships just get in the way, Payne and a cupcake girl rumor with Jessica, Nino put on the spot about Payne’s name about who knows what, Nino finally says Jerry explain.

Payne says Jerry is a liability. Apparently, she just couldn’t take it anymore, so dumped Jerry. Nino laughs at the story and tells Jerry its manipulation. Talk on ERP and sharing ERP partners. Who/why/when ERP. Thalia is questioned if she has ever ERP’d with Jordan Steele. Jerry mentions her naming convention and known ERP relations.

At this, she hurriedly makes her way to the bathroom and the men decide it would be a good idea for Jerry to snoop on her.

Some dude calls, requests Nino’s ping number – seems to be the shadow organization.
Now the other three are talking about sandwiches. Nino slaps Thalia’s ass running outside to his S15.

**“Word on the Street”:**

TL;DR: A man who just wants a Deagle meets an unfortunate end.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

At the location, Nino sees a man in a black hat, black coat, jeans, and hiking boots. He nasally asks if he can smoke then checks Nino for wires – he is surprised finding a gun but doesn’t seem too bothered by it. Goes back to smoking, or, at least trying to – he keeps coughing and needs to stop to find his breath. “Word on the street is you’re a man who can get things,” he says.

He wants “some deals”. Nino calmly readies his knife. The man continues to talk, then is suddenly stabbed. In shock, he stammers out he just wanted a Deagle as Nino shoves his body into the trunk of his S15. As he slowly comes to realize his predicament, Nino asks how he came to his conclusion that Nino would have access to a Deagle – Craigslist.

It starts raining. Nino pulls over to a moderately remote area and coolly hotwires a vehicle with this man in the new car. “Any last words?” Nino remarks before attempting to send this vehicle into the ocean – it hits a fence, Nino repairs, then attempts the send again. His suit now drenched, Nino quickly snorts some coke and heads back to his S15.

Nino asks Saab for 20 lockpicks. He gets bulk price, 4k total. 2k to Uchi. CG in Tuner Shop. Ramee whines Uchi isn’t giving him any work. Charles asks to borrow one of Nino’s cars for an upcoming race. Nino and Charles chat on the way to pick up the Skyline.

Payne introduces Nino to Cassie Cupcakes, who is infatuated with Payne. A crowd of seven people stand in a line and watch Cassie complain to Officer Forcer. Payne mentions his restraining order against Cassie. Talk on sexual harassment now considered a felony: Nino learns most of his phrases to women are now “felonies”. This felony is really open to interpretation…

Nino tells Judge Bailey he is interested in becoming a judge himself – he audibly googles the amendments. Can’t be that hard, right? The judge gives Nino a scenario. Nino presents idea of a mock jury. Coop shows! He joins the discussion.

Nino and Gomer decide to have some fun with this new law – to demonstrate its reach. A Fran Frankie calls, a kid, who Nino chats to fully transparently. Frankie wants to be a baseball player and practices a pitch – window breaking sound, hangs up quickly. Chang is in trouble – Gomer has to go.

Talks to (?) with someone else(?) seen in an explosion in the background.

Nino suggests Buck talks to Bruce or another supervisor to acquire a job at Cluckin’ Bell. Nino pushes this process forward by calling Bruce.

Nino makes it just in time to join a race: Vinewood Touge track – it’s a long one per the map. Some crashes, repairs, and cocaine. 4th place.

Sees tweet from Pinto about a disgruntled customer. Back to Tommy in the Tuner Shop. Nino searches for advanced repair kits. Nino brings up the new law concerning sexual harassment allegations. Dice roll with Tony, 10k, double or nothing > 20k now, Tony decides if he wants to double or nothing > he agrees, now at 40k. The 40k as agreed given to Tony at nearby bank. Nino’s invited to be a third wheel by Tony. More dice rolls, evens out. Tony really wants to gamble. Nino agrees, now gets 20k from Tony, who wants to gamble even more.

**Intel Share:**

TL;DR: Eddie informs Nino of the new cars coming to LS and Nino informs Eddie of his loan business.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Back at the Tuner Shop, Nino chats with Eddie in a back room. The BBC will be run in split divisions: Saab, the exports, and Eddie, the imports. Basically, Eddie will talk to the DOJ to draft some import paperwork. Tracking of all vehicles in Los Santos to ensure exclusivity. Good idea, absolutely needs government approval and awareness.

Nino gets the deets on the new car imports coming in soon from Eddie, a trustable source for this information. Nino loops Eddie in on his loan business – he gives more intel than he has most others thus far as Eddie is a potential investor and partner. Eddie seems excited for this. The pieces are falling into place.

Nino’s specialized car is next on Eddie’s work list. Pog.

2k to Jack for 10 advanced repair kits.

**Meet with JJ:**

TL;DR: Nino and JJ consider gun distribution.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino lets JJ know he will be talking to Raja about his feud with Arthur. Erin has been jumping to conclusions, Nino says. Well, who knows. But it’s one big fucking mess and game of telephone.

JJ says his part of the shipments has already been distributed. They agree to maximize profits in this sense. Speedy is singled out by Nino, who wants to ensure he gets some of the shipment. Tec9s for Speedy? JJ says the next order request he has is top-heavy: 25 Tec9, 3 Scorps, 3 Draco, 10 AK, 2 G36.

Raja calls; Nino suggests they meet at the boat garage.

Nino questions price of G36, AK, and others; find sweet price. Need good allocation. Easier to go lower than higher.

**Raja’s Perspective:**

TL;DR: Nino listens to Raja’s side fo the story involving this feud between Arthur and Raja; he attempts to facilitate conversation between the two to remediate.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Raja arrives to the boat docks with a Rachel, who Nino introduces himself as “Peter” to before Nino and Raja take a boat away from prying ears.

First order of business, determine and agree upon an alibi. Done.

Nino keeps it short and sweet: “I think you and Arthur need to talk to each other, before you kill each other”.

Raja says he’s tried that. Nino asks for Raja’s perspective. Raja is convinced Arthur was actually after him. Nino remarks this feud is affecting business and progression.

Raja points that he knew Raven was bluffing. Raja states that Arthur told him to his face that “all they need is my name, and they can take me down for life”.

Arthur can be dramatic. He’s also a liar, returns Raja. Raja gives a hypothetical story for an example. Raja says all the evidence leads to Arthur as the manipulator or order actor of Raja being a target.

Nino sees benefit in communication between Raja and Arthur.

Funnyman rolling with a gang? Yup, with the Ballas. And Funnyman mentioned Arthur at one moment, Arthur gave him an order of some sort and Raja later found himelf in a very dangerous situation – he assumed this was the order. Nino continues to wonder about Funnyman’s actions, which in this case seem to be odd: Funnyman doesn’t usually attempt to kill but rather deploys other tactics.

Nino says Arthur thinks Raja is going after him; this is news to Raja. Some more talk.

Nino asks Raja his perspective on Dundee – he’s a hotheaded pitbull who will fly off the handle and do whatever.

Any interest in talking to Arthur? He refuses to talk to me, and I have unwanted visitors. Raja’s experiences all certainly point to Arthur, and communication efforts have been futile. Raja backed down a bit when he learned of Arthur’s goal of Bovice; he talks of Arthur’s dramatic almost end and communication faults.

Raja and Arthur are both incredibly similar.

Three options: A. Raja kills Arthur. B. Arthur kills Raja. C. They communicate.

Nino: It’s not my place to tell you how to act, but I don’t see how this war benefits either of you. I don’t even know how it began. My sources all highlight a feud derived from the lack of interaction.

Raja indicates Arthur’s god-complex. Raja says he has a contact within the hospital; Arthur was already within the wind of the authorities.

Raja will think about whether he is willing to forgive Arthur; not only has Arthur hurt him, he hurt those around him.

Nino suggests to fully confirm suspicions before drastic actions were made. Nino hints his control over Arthur and further encourages Raja to set up a talk with Arthur. There’s only one thing I care about, and it is for people like us to profit in this city. This feud is very inconvenient. Maybe it’s ruthless thinking, but it is what it is.

Raja says only one challenge presented itself to him: continuing the game. Thrill of the game of cat and mouse. The fear of consequences makes him feel alive. But now, he has a family – he now has a new concern: keeping his family out of harms way. If a situation becomes dire enough, he will resort to extreme measures.

Unpredictability; it’s why I try not to get involved in a lot of that, says Nino.

Raja explains the difficulty trusting even to an extent Arthur, who goes back on his word, etc. Nino says he understands.

They part. Yea, they might kill each other. Stubborn, but both right.

Nino drives back to the boat docks to see if Raja is in need of a ride. He is, gets a ride back to PDM. Trophy gun talk. Possible packages in the future; business. JJ can be middleman.

They find Raja’s car in a suspicious area, Raja notes the motorcycle plate number next to it, and Nino follows Raja for a bit to ensure he is alright.

Nino discusses the BBC business with Payne. Arthur talked to Payne on the phone, then Arthur says he wants to speak to Nino through Payne. Now, Payne gives a story about Saab and house buying. He’s dressed in a crazy outfit in order to hide from Cassie. He also gets more privacy.

Arthur realizes he has another problem and Nino tells him to set a meeting with Raja (via phone call).

At the PD, Payne puts on a fake voice with Abdul and a few others. Back in the S15, they chat. At Garage Q, Nino forces Payne into an ERP situation with Strawberry Sublime: pays 1.5k.

### **Episode 107 [Oct 14, 2019]**

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/518520587

**Executive Summary: Nino and a group of people set out to get a dick for Dimitri. Nino and Rory have an important talk.**

Cocaine. Sees Dragon in Garage Q. Short phone call with Antho. Annabelle calls about an auction for a car – Sun Moon is putting down a million already; nah, that’s way too much, fuck that.

**The Yes Crew:**

TL;DR: Nino and a group of others embark on a mission to get a new dick for Dimitri, then find opportunities to test it. A trip up a mountain with about 10 people leads to a trip to Pillbox.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Luther calls, there’s a mission to get Dimitri a new dick. Nino gets out the SUV and picks up Dimitri, Pimp, and Antho. At a farm, they shoot a pig for the transplant dick. Race to Pillbox for the operation. Rolls with Luther. Talk with Jenn about the auction. Rolls some more. Ellie joins. Clothing store, everyone dresses up and they devise a plan for Dimitri. They prepare for the operation.

At the nudist colony, they explore their options for a new dick for Dimitri. Shootout to acquire a dick. Success, to the Paleto hospital! Operation time. Meds, oxy, coke. Ameno played. Unsanitary chaos. More drugs, etc. Tri Poloski played.

New mission: check to make sure the operation worked. Shout match outside Pillbox. Bunch of people, including Mask, Erin, Mel, Jerry. Mel joins. Short fight with a cement truck driver. They ask Fiona to help them test; she starts ERP. Claire and Charles join. [bunch of people, I don’t know exactly all who.] Uchiha shows. Car starts smoking and leaking gas. Benny’s quick trip.

Back to Pillbox. Whole party in the car and hanging outside the car. Like 10 people. Nino tries to climb up a mountain in the van but it goes exactly as expected…tumbling down the mountain. Some injuries, they all regroup. Chaotic ride to Pillbox. Nino gives a general overview of injuries to the main doctor, Ducky, then chats to Vinny’s girlfriend. Mel admits to melting Dimitri’s dick; dammit, all that work earlier for nothing!

Time to call a lawyer. Nino rolls dice. Rory shows on scene, 1k given from Nino, and court to begin. [Disconnect from the 6:42.] Regroup again. Clarkson starts trying to pull Nino over. Garage Q, Maura. Officer Dark joins the fun and rides along.

Tuner shop. 3k to Vinny to fix the SUV.

**The Start of Nino’s Syndicate?:**

TL;DR: Nino and Rory further iron out more details of Sahara’s loan business. Nino is still getting a feel for Rory.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino talks with Rory and checks out his perspective of lawyering. Nino gives an overview of his capital and Sahara – the legal business dealings. Sounds like Rory won’t talk; good.

Need legal protection for Sahara for loan venture. Important framework: separate entity, controlled by Nino – Nino has final say, but other ideas and decisions are encouraged. Payne has been brought in as an investor already. All comes down to profit. Incentive for those who work in the company: say, 50% goes to whoever within the company, or to the company directly / operating costs. The remaining percentage, in this scenario 50% as well, is for dividends – investment capital. Investors making passive income. Losses are financially taken by Sahara Financial.

Talk on collateral and legal process. They agree it’s distortion: Nino remarks he has specific individuals who can manage the “breaking of legs”. As such, this is the reason for the legal protection net. Money will be recouped, one way or another: there will be no loss. Simple excel sheet: money in, money out. Value. Talk on keeping the authorities away.

Nino alludes to his darker and deeper operations.

More talk on the loan service. Time, late fee, front end presentation, city service, Allen, used car lot, debt cycle, one-stop-shop, bank, satellite lender, etc. Rory gives an example of his opening/closing statements in court. [Right before server restart,] Nino mentions he deals heavily with guns.

[Mehdi says this is the start of the mafia/mob/syndicate.]

### **Episode 106 [Oct 13, 2019]**

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/518518506

**Executive Summary: Dimitri gets some action, Nino discusses the loan business with Rory, Curtis is introduced to serious gun distribution, a few races are started, Payne’s real estate company joins Sahara’s loan venture, and a game involving a box is played.**

Coke. S15. Music. Dark, favorite cop.

A group of 4 people, masked and in dark clothes, are seen playing with the water from a fire hydrant. They don’t need a hostage though.

Nino asks Mask outside Integrity if Mother is around. Nope.
Calls Curtis, talk about women. Erin calls; she’s scheduling to meet Nino with Rory. They choose a time and Nino requests to buy a car from PDM. The same dude from yesterday who won 45k from Nino dice rolling shows and wants to roll again. 2 rolls later and Nino has 160 shares in pix.

**Some Action for Dimitri / It’s Always Sunny in Los Santos / Chaos Theory / Dimitri Gone Wild:**

TL;DR: Nino hangs out with Dimitri, Curtis, Luther, Jenn, and some others. A common goal is to get Dimitri laid.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino test drives a SUV with Curtis, Dimitri, and Jen. With Nino driving, Dimitri is thrown off the side of the vehicle multiple times. Pit stop at Pillbox. Back at PDM, Curtis still on the search for women. Erin and Zelda show. Milton, Luther, and someone else as well. Erin sees Luther as taking all her jobs and work. Milton prepares some paperwork for a car and Nino signs a contract.

Curtis, meanwhile, has been collecting women. Chats with Jenn about who the biggest slut is and how to figure it out. Some women in a MC are nearby – one thinks Nino is a virgin. About a minute later, she comes back and repeats the opposite. Talk between like 8 people about who’s fucking who.

Repaint at Benny’s to all-black, with a full car of people. Arrive at Bahama Mamas, line cut. Nino, Curtis, and Luther try to get a woman for Dimitri: first up is Daphony(?). Dmitri tries coke and Viagra. Continues his talk with Daphony then carries her off. At a review meeting, the group considers the bad decision to give Dimitri both coke and Viagra together…he might have a heart attack, etc. They communicate to Dimitri via radio. Etc.

Another intake of coke and Viagra for Dimitri, who has returned after his ERP. He’s ready for round 2. Nino calls Jonelle, who refuses to hang up. He lures her to Bahama Mamas under the pretense of a potential business partner. Nino instructs Dimitri to pretend he has a business. Music and Nino actually dances a bit.

Nino calls Jonelle again and introduces her to Dimitri and Luther. Luther pretends he is Dimitri’s assistant. A third intake of the special mix later and Dmitri goes back to “smooth talking” Jonelle. Jonelle’s not impressed and tells Nino she has a boyfriend. They scour twitter but it seems sparse of females.

New plan. Back to the SUV – wait, no whip. Soon learn Curtis is borrowing it. They look for a car to steal. Gun pulled, cops called. Some women are seen from the top of a bridge; thus, off the bridge Nino and Dimitri go. The women are EMS and one woman is Annabelle [not Harmony/Fastlane(?) Annabelle, someone new who wants to be an EMT]. Dmitri’s not very discreet and Nino holds the conversation. She accepts Nino’s number via a “field trauma” tutorial offer. Dmitri’s not making any progress whatsoever.

Curtis picks them up and they move out quickly. Benny’s and Mel. Discussion on Dimitri’s successes of the day and clits. Dimitri tells everyone about the clitoris in his ass.

Outside Integrity, Dimitri does his best with Fiona. His best didn’t work. Another lady spotted in front of Pillbox. Rory and Dimitri verbally assault each other. A fight breaks out: Dimitri takes out someone and knocks out Jenn. Short chat with Heidi then they all take off in the SUV. Dimitri makes a mess in the back, to say it simply. A ride to grandpa’s and Nino is thrown off the car down a mountain. [Dogbert plays Ameno.]

SUV stuck between some large rocks. Multiple minutes later, Nino and Luther lose the fight to the SUV. Jenn supplies the downed Nino coke. EMS arrives: Heidi and Chloe. On helicopter takeoff, they almost all die by slamming into the side of the mountain. The rotating blades take out Jenn and knock down Curtis. Another body for the chopper!

Pillbox, more lines. The group together again. Lots of people around Benny’s: Sun Moon, Erin, Ramee, Dusky, James, etc. Women spotted – Dimitri put on the case; she leaves. Some talk with others, also JJ. Jenn says Dimitri owes her like 3k; Nino pays her 4k.

Erin shows with Rory: he can make anything sound convincing and does cocaine. Perfect. Phone number given. Dimitri goes after his assistant and gets a swift kick.
[Everyone disconnects.]

**The Start with Rory:**

TL;DR: Nino and Rory discuss a loan business for Los Santos; they immediately hit it off.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Talk on a shipment from earlier this morning that JJ picked up and how to roll out a new gun, a Deagle, and the other hardware into the city. Curtis is brought into the gun distributors group.

[Disconnect.] They join up again on a boat. Ramee calls about a Dubsta/Datsun(?) car he wants to sell. Nino chats with Curtis about some more of his business and they meet JJ on a pier. Lowkey > RDM Chavez hints. On an island, JJ showcases the Deagle. Nino gives a few shots to test – steady shot. Curtis now gets a turn. Then JJ. They take the silencer off and check out the sound. Back to the boat and Curtis drops the Deagle to the ocean floor.

More talk on guns and specifications. Talk on Luther and his previous workings with JJ. He’s clean but looking to get into some stuff.

Harmony – Nino now in an all-white causal outfit. JJ serviced the S15 and is paid 5k. Nino chats with Trigger(?), the guy who put gas in his motorbike this morning: wires over 2k. Ramee asks again for money and informs of a race. Chats with Randy about cars and that Raja bought a “Starry Night” painting for 125k.

**Pedal to the Metal:**

TL;DR: Nino participates in 2 races in the city.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino joins a race with cops nearby. Cocaine to prepare. Strong cop presence, several crashes. At one point, cops actually help Nino with a tree after a sign pushes him out of the race. Shortly thereafter, pulled over: negligent driving charge, 2 points added to record, $250 citation.

Setup for second race. Buy in 2k. Gets a navigator, some random dude, who actually does a great job. Almost gets first, then reviews the race with the few people still alive.

Navigator introduces himself as Josh. They head out to the next loc but soon crash, with the repairs taking a while. Josh sustained an injury in this crash, so Nino takes him to Pillbox. The next race is on a track Nino doesn’t feel comfortable racing per the high likelihood of cops, so he dips.

Sees Josh, Randy, Jerry, Gladys. Jerry won his case with Chips as the client. Jerry’s paralegal, Larry, who looks exactly like Jerry and is wearing the same clothes but is paler, shows. Nino gives Chips a bag of coke as celebration. Randy returns, Ripley shows.

**Bringing in Payne:**

TL;DR: Nino details his loan endeavor to Payne, hoping to pick him up as a business partner for a hand in the real estate market.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino picks up Payne in his S15. Nino proposes his loan service to Payne, who he hopes to have as a business partner. Payne says Sonya is starting to show more on the radar of the HOA. Payne gives some insight into the current affairs and propositions for his company.

Nino now gives Payne more details into his loan endeavor. Main lawyers at the moment are Jerry and Kayden; Rory to most likely join. Several outs: work at Cluckin’ Bell, pay it off, collateral offering. Etc. Elaborate plan with different packages.

Payne wants to be a full-time partner: perfect. They happily chat about this plan.

Payne says one of the things he is working on for Nino is very close to completion. Storage facility of some sort? No records/paperwork?

Excitement with this loan idea: Payne’s looking to expand his company. They drive around and talk some more while Payne checks out a few houses. Talk on employee structure and system for their companies. Talk on rife between OTT and Gomer/CKR. Crash, repair, cocaine. Otto’s return?

Josh calls, have a pistol? The fuck? He’s been in the city for 2 weeks too. Nino arranges an in-person meeting.

Josh arrives and Nino begins interrogation. Josh says the cops told him practically “everyone is LS is a scumbag criminal” so he figured it was true and acted upon it. Nino and Payne question why he is acting like a cop and search him, then Nino hands over 1k, telling him to be careful – do this activity with the wrong person and you just might get a bullet to your head. The guy seems relatively unfazed though. Nino and Payne again reiterate to stay away from gang turf, it’s dangerous. Again question if he’s a cop. They give him some advice for his goals in LS.

After driving off, they discuss the guy and go to Garage Q, where Jerry tells Nino to check the trunk of a car: 3 IDs, 3 bags of coke, a knife, and a radio. Nino sets Violet on Payne for forced ERP. Nino chats with Summer about Payne. Nino again sets Violet on Payne for more ERP, who starts up some drama now.

Nino and Payne chat with Murphy on the court steps then step inside to check for Josh’s record: nothing found. Outside is Sonya: talks about loan service. She wants a private conversation with Payne. Nino joins; commence conversation about Sonya vs HOA: location discrepancy, crime reduction, shot last week, another incident with Denzel – Sonya suddenly bursts into tears and falls to her knees, sobbing for peace and about her breakup with Gomer caused by Denzel. A concerned Payne immediately says he will start an investigation. She leaves and Payne says, “Fuck her”. Nino learns that Payne is alright with extreme measures – he’s aware of the HOA’s actions in regards to keeping his houses from being robbed.

They drive by a destroyed S15 and some other cars with nearby flashing cop lights on a cruiser. Payne spots a nearby body and Nino puts Charles into his car to take to Pillbox – saving him from charges. Nino goes back to the scene to see if he can pick up anyone else before the authorities do.

**What’s in the Box?:**

TL;DR: Nino plays a game with Erin then they try to encourage others to play as well.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino meets with Erin in the casino parking lot and plays “What’s in the box?” He gives Erin $500. If he guesses correctly, she gives him $1000. Only clue: it’s a legal item. Nino guesses a sandwich. Wrong. Nino questions the incredibly poor odds to win. Second round, another $500 pay in, but with an item choice list now: lockpick set, Braab shirt, a beer, a bandage. Nino guesses Braab shirt, wrong. It was a bottle of beer.

Nino and Erin set out to make some money via this game. Two similar-looking EMTs outside Pillbox. They’re creepy. Car pulls up, he doesn’t want to pay to play the box game but offers to sing a song instead. Two cops show and attempt to box in the car; works for a bit, but some seconds and chaos later the chase begins. They move inside and the guy sings Bohemian Rhapsody [singer is TheDooth]. He plays the box game, loses. Erin verbal war with the creepy EMS.

Nino and Erin chat about the events that led to Erin’s fun Banhama’s trip. [When Erin refused EMS treatment some time ago during a race.] Nino calls Jen to play the game. Seems Erin has beef with a lot of people in the city. They find a woman who plays, Erin ends up plus $250. Erin wants to play this game with Arthur. Jenn plays the game and guesses correctly Round 2 – evens out the money. They discuss the game, jail, and drugs.

Another target spotted, Erin starts conversation. Tinker calls. The target actually wins the game but does buy some beer. He decides to play again, and a side discussion on what to put in the box is held. He guesses beer again, wins again.

They head to a shop for more items then go back to Legion Square. A random, Jerry, and Murphy join Nino, Erin, and Jenn. Violet shows. Jerry really doesn’t want to play again. Jerry had an incident with another woman – Nino reminds him of keeping up his reputation.

[Disconnected.]

Chang is brought into the game play. Talk on the egg thing again. Chang loses. New deal, Nino’s rolling with Chang: end result is 20k to Chang. Talk on a potential 1 mil roll in the future.

Dice game with a bunch of people outside. Nino asks Tupac to sing a song to prove he’s actually Tupac. Debate with 2Pac. Discussion with cops about the woman involved earlier with Jerry. Nino gives more recommendations to Josh, along with Murphy. A nearby random now is questioned if he is a cop. This guy simply says he is a distributor. Of what…implications suggest illegal, might as well say… Chang shows, he’s not happy with the latest tweet by Raven.

This random guy distributes drugs, but he doesn’t have any oxy on him at the moment.

A guy at Garage Q says El Tesso, Tessa, is running drugs with the front of a driving school.

### **Episode 105 [Oct 12, 2019]**

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/518517313

**Executive Summary: Nino, JJ, and Curtis attempt to receive two hardware imports from the harbor. An impromptu meeting with Milo.**

Morning with coke. Reads an email from the terminal: two separate shipments of goods will be imported into Los Santos today, with an hour apart. Nino is to be ready to receive.

Harmony for S15 service. JJ gets 3k. Vinny calls, he’s available for loan dealings.

**“Snort that Confidence”:**

TL;DR: Nino, JJ, and Curtis embark on a mission to receive imports of goods from the shadow organization.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

A new email: the first import will arrive in 10 minutes south end by the harbor.

JJ is informed and instructed to meet with Curtis and a car. Nino finds a clothing store and all three change into unrecognizable clothes. Nino gives a run down while they are on the road: be prepared for most everything, not too much information known. It’s kind of last minute.

They arrive to the docks but no other parties are seen. A new email comes in: 20 minute delay to be expected.

All three decide to pack some heat with the additional prep time. Curtis says he might have walked away from the LB. Nino expresses his frustrations with his current operations and lack of violence. Curtis joins in with his own stories.

Back at the harbor, they survey the area and communicate over radio. Explosion out in the water, the boat?! Nino gives instructions to abort and inquires via the terminal if the import boat exploded. Reply:

“Shipment lost. Leave the area, a cleanup crew will be dispatched. Unloading next shipment from freighter now. Standby for next location.”

Nino gives a little information about one of the shadow organization guys, Bu7ch3r: “Chances are he knows more about me than I know about him”. Etc.

Curtis gives the background to his recent decision to depart the LeanBois: involves Tony. Lack of mutual respect, Curtis felt, it was better for everyone if he left.

Car seen speeding, they watch, possibly someone making a pickup from the Wizard.

They discuss odds and ends. Eventually, they decide to get oxy and change vehicles.

Nino asks what Curtis thinks he does. Then he divulges some of the guns he has brought into LS and their relation to the overseas org. Nino says the crate supplier was killed. Curtis is brought further into the fold. Does Curtis want to move product? Maybe.

They stock up with scuba tanks and chest armor. Taco Girl is there, Nino puts on a voice and gets out of the situation. Back in the car, they talk about possible work for Curtis. Etc.

Email on Nino’s phone finally refreshes: one last chance to catch the second shipment:

Nino, JJ, and Curtis rush back to the harbor. Crash, repair. Back on loc, Curtis runs up a nearby hill for overwatch while JJ takes the bend and Nino the shore.

New email: shipment 2 arrived and is on standby.

Nino searches and seeks to confirm the spot with Morpheus as no boats are seen.

New email, shipment 2 is safe, location updated. Still no-one to meet. Now a ghost boat [scuff]. Nothing on the boat. Some guy is seen standing nearby and is unresponsive when Nino prompts him to talk.

Due to the unfortunate events, the three decide to leave while they can and before cops or anyone else show. Chat about cars.

New email, shipment 2 try 2 same location commencing now. They setup again. Successful meet up this time. They load the guns into the back of JJ’s vehicle. Further down the road, a second vehicle is acquired, and Nino and Curtis follow JJ with the guns. Nino talks with Curtis more about his business. JJ breaks off to a stash house.

Talk on gun performance while they await JJ’s confirmation. Nino’s operations discussed some more.

New email, the delivery guy for the first shipment didn’t make it. More aggressive measures will be taken in the future; operations must continue.

JJ provides a list of the hardware stored in the stash: 5 AKs, 6 Scorps, 4 Tec 9s, 1 Draco, 1 PDW, 2 Bullpup Rifles, 1 special carbine, 10 heavy ammo. Quick review and split.

[Disconnect from server] while changing clothes back.

JJ to give Curtis 5 of the guns for distribution, no payment to Nino necessary. RDM Chavez soon? Need a clean guy for Sahara if so. Nino and JJ will keep an eye out for someone who could work. JJ says a Harmony guy is a possibility – Luther Caine (Dogbert). Cops have a better evidence system now; this must be figured out before any large shipments are made.

Ballas after Vinny because of CG war – Ramee started a conflict then decided to sleep and let Vinny take care of it.

**Milo’s Continental Hotel:**

TL;DR: An impromptu meet with Milo leads to possible future business together. Milo is also heading a rental lodging company.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Milo gets a free ride and Nino gets a free bag. Everyone wants to do a Continental Hotel gig. Talk on ERP. Milo’s a middle child. He wants to rent houses pre-equipped (such as guns). If no payment, keys taken and whatever materials inside kept, easy. Curtis and Randy are two of his renters.

Milo just wants money and “wants to buy a nice car and to fucking get some ladies”.

Ever think about being the face of a company? And running it?
He has, didn’t work out too well with Tinkerbottom though. Milo says he knows Coop pocketed some strip club company money.

Nino comes back again with the leader question. Milo says he’s already a “dock worker” for the chicken factory and that he doesn’t see himself as a manager.

Nino will possibly present Milo with some job offers in the future. Things are in the works.
Fake iDs to get more houses? Milo isn’t even in the database; he has no record. Nah, fake IDs wouldn’t work with the keys. 6 houses will do. 4 renters currently, two mentioned already plus Uchiha plus [redacted]. In a sense, Milo sees his renters as his bodyguards; he’s been receiving threats since he exited the gun business. He doesn’t ever deal with gang affiliations directly.

Discussion on lifestyles. Milo says he has 6 million when Nino offers his cash on concluding their talk. Nino silently considers what fit Milo could have for Sahara.

At Pillbox, Nero and some woman introduce themselves while someone runs into the hospital while requesting no-one look at her. She reemerges with a man face and asks for help. She cannot find a plastic surgeon. An EMT shows, Nino pulls him aside and quietly says this “man” is trying to be a woman. She walks away briefly and upon return Bruce suddenly yells “OH FUCK” on seeing her. Bruce and Nino chat about this woman who looks like Kiki’s sister.

Nino, Bruce, EMT, woman continue talk on her face. Talk about Kiki. She says her name is Katt. [Server restart incoming, launch).

Vinny says they may use thermals as evidence in the big upcoming CG court case. Mario joins them in the car. Discussion. Murphy takes Nino’s place in the car and Nino takes out the Rocket Bunny.

Erin’s buying a house. Some dude is dead on the side of the road, so Nino casually chats to Mel and Tony.

Tony joins in the S15 and they have a short conversation with Angel. Talk on cars, etc. They start making their own food in a chicken restaurant and Nino calls Tony ugly. Outside, Baas and Lauren. Tony and Nino leave soon after, throwing insults at one another. Etc. Nino says he’s doing loan services now with Sahara.

Tuner shop where Tony fixes up the car. A random wants to roll 30 pix for 15k. Ramee and Mario join. Nino loses. Double or nothing. Nino loses. Again roll, Nino loses. So down 45k. JJ calls about a race. Tony and Ramee start gambling now. Vinny wants a 10k reimbursement for an event. Nino pays the dude he rolled with 45k cash and transfers 16k to Vinny.

Phone call with Erin. No race today, says JJ. Calls Randy, he quickly says he’s being chased with a knife. Nino arrives on location and Siz, Randy, and himself play tag with the knife guy. Police show and initially aim at the wrong people. Then they’re pulled over, shuff happens, Gladys’ shows. Siz tells Nino he owes on his S15; Nino questions. Money talks, Siz leaves.

Nino does car and office payments. Benny’s. Erin and Brenda. Nino offers coke to Erin, who has managed to get her law license back. She accepts, even though she hasn’t done drugs in weeks. She’s working with Rory. Jerry’s starting a gang to combat a Fat Gang?! Phone call to Jerry, no pickup, dammit. Wtf Jerry?! Nino’s concerned; there are so few lawyers in LS – can’t lose Jerry!

Sibling issues with Siz for Erin. She has more to say but she doesn’t think she should say. Nino figures out she doesn’t get paid for her job. Nino requests 20k worth of materials, mainly metal. She is to get good deals and recognize the current market.

Nino explains his new loan project. Nino gives Erin 25k cash. Erin talks about her disbarment. They pass by Bruce and Brenda on the road. Brenda may be going crazy and Bruce has some materials for later. Discussion on why races are not happening that often anymore. Talk on house prices.

Bruce transfers over some material. Nino asks if Bruce would be able to manage the company himself; he thinks so. Short business chat with Bruce about the BBC deliveries. Break from Bruce, Nino and Erin crash, repair. Nino insists he isn’t planning for his death. Crash, repair. Oxy. Crash, repair. Lines.

Nino picks up Randy from prison. Sideswipe, repair. Talk on race to a mil between Randy and Chang. Nino tells of what went down this morning regarding the imports. Talk on authorities and their actions. Talk on the guy with the knife earlier, gambling, and Misfits Hutch.

Roll for 10k, Randy wins. Double or nothing, tie. Nino wins to even it out. 10k again, Randy wins. Double or nothing, evens out. 10k, Randy wins, evens again with another roll. 10k, Nino wins. Double or nothing, Randy evens it out. Blah blah etc. Double or nothing at 80k: evens out. Etc. 20k to Nino. Randy pays up. Then Nino pays 20k cash to Randy “for that one job”. Nino tells of his blackjack days, etc.

**A Battle of Stubbornness:**

TL;DR: Ramee is unfocused. Nino and Kayden battle it out for who hangs up the phone first; who will win?

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Ramee calls – he’s sniffling and wants to know what his assistant to the assistant position requires. Nino runs over Rose then offers her a ride to the hospital. He switches to Ramee’s lambo, still on the phone with Ramee. Cops show, Ramee says he’s wanted. Nino hands over $500 and does some coke. Commence cop chase. Lambo breaks down, Nino’s handcuffed and GSR tested. Coke no longer in glove box. Ramee calls, want a pickup? The cops are still here and looking for you! ERP talk on phone.

Nino calls up Kayden and goes on a mini rant. She picks him up. Quad Nino, Kayden, Jerry, and Dark. Kayden and Nino both refuse to hang up the phone. Dark makes an indication of his power and Kayden immediately yells she’s being harassed. Dark decides it’s a good time to leave.

Golf course, meet up with Ramee, who gives a sob story. Ramee didn’t actually get Ellie pregnant? Talk on Uchiha and a deal with the a high ranking legal authority to let Ramee work off his warrant at Cluckin’ Bell.

Randy and Vinny arrive. Vinny’s facing the death penalty? Who else? Chang and Uchiha. What, Uchiha?!?! Ramee tries to seize this chance to overtake his assistant boss. Nino puts Ramee on the task to get Kayden to hang up the phone – so he pulls a gun and chases a yelling Kayden in circles. Vinny freaks out, this isn’t a good situation for him to be caught up in right now. Since Ramee’s in need of money, Kayden brings up the idea for Nino to offer him a loan. Turns out he only has one car. Vinny and Randy give Ramee a hard time as per usual.

Chaos, Kayden still won’t hang up, is tackled, tazed, cars everywhere, etc. More debate in the car and at the new location. Still in the phone call. Nino explains the initial loans need to be close to 100% reliable – and that Ramee is not suitable. More on Ramee. Phone call continuing, who will win: Nino or Kayden? Nino tries multiple times to crash in order to force a phone call hang up.

PD. Nino now asks for McClane’s assistance in getting Kayden to hang up. His attempt fails. Jerry learns of Ramee's two warrants. Nino chases Kayden to the car while yelling for her to close out the phone call. Pillbox. Nino now tries to create a situation to get the officer standing outside to instruct her to hang up. This attempt fails as well. Eugene shows, maybe he can help?

Some more back and forth, car, bike, a tackling competition in the PD lobby, and a winner – rather, neither of them. Gas pump explosion. Milo casually pulls up and strolls over to inspect the situation. He calls 911 and asks what happened. Nino and Kayden continue to banter as Milo nonchalantly puts their bodies in his car.

Pillbox. Hedi administers an IV and Ducky treats him. Meets a guy outside Pillbox who may be a good loan recipient.

Nino meets with Ramee, Vinny, Uchiha, and Mario at a airplane hangar. Ramee and Uchiha throw insults; Ramee’s not too pleased with the competition results. Uchiha has some great business ideas, such as dressing up in a chicken suit with Ramee and making a sex tape for positive publicity. Vinny isn’t proactive in his duties for Sahara. Racing event discussed. Uchiha continuously gives great ideas, much to Ramee’s frustration. Life Invader event vs Sahara International event battle?

Vinny asks to speak to Nino alone; does Nino trust the Doctor, Arthur? To a degree; it depends - he has good intentions. Vinny is involved with the Bovice situation. Nino reiterates that he doesn’t involve himself in conflict if he is able to avoid it. Short chat with Zee, who’s checking out the area for the future fair.

Uchiha and Garage Q. Saab tries to clarify the process of BBC truck deliveries. Benny’s and talks to the Azteca Violet who says Misfit Hutch is a snitch. Invited by Officer McClane to go dirt biking. Odd request.

Tuner shop: Saab, Eddie, ?. The former now has frosted tips. Arthur now calls, added to list. Uchiha is summoned to the tuner shop. Bruce arrives and Nino briefs him on the delivery details. Uchiha then briefed; he’s the last-minute senior driver provided by Sahara. Remember, 50k worth BBC cargo loaded up north by Legion and delivered to the docks. Sahara is contracted for drivers and trucks. German distributor company.

Arthur shows – he’s alive! He wagered a larger gamble, one that Raven could not ignore. The situation is over, thus he feels he can divulge information now.

What the fuck happened?

Discussion to happen at destination. Talk on food and virtual reality. Weather. Arrival – Arthur shows Nino a spot hidden from sight. He’s had a problem lately of people appearing uninvited.

Now he elaborates – he got a call from the chief of police (Raven). His identity of Arthur/the Doctor. His controls set in place on the knowledge of his number. So who’s talking to the chief of police? Arthur tells Nino he has put several people in the legal command structure in the hospital. On the call, Raven gave to Arthur some information in relation to his ops that make this threat very credible: Arthur felt he had two options, both of which included the sacrifice play. The DOJ and police who are unable to understand and adhere to their rules and laws are “rats in the fucking nest”. Arthur, realizing his operations were threatened, decided to meet with Raven in person. His concern as well: if he were to go down, so would the people with who he had ties; his employees and business partners. That he couldn’t let happen.

At the meeting, Arthur petitioned for 24 hours to get his affairs in order: severing certain ties and establishing a level of immunity for his relations. Arthur made a play: what do you want the most? The answer: Bovice. Now, Arthur says Bovice has been a thorn in his side before this ask. Alongside the VU operations, a shelter of sorts has been in the works, which is set to provide food and other supplies. Additionally, medical supplies via Dr. Cross at Pillbox were to be delivered to that shelter. Bovice letting it be known he wanted to hurt everyone in Pillbox and Choi’s talking lead to an issue.

Anyway, all of that aside, how to get Bovice? “Doesn’t matter, fuck everybody, I got him. The man had been disrupting my operations, so I didn’t really see a fucking problem with it.”

“I converted the former DA against the DOJ,” continues Arthur, “Adrienne West isn’t gonna say a fucking thing against Chang Gang.” She presently believes the authorities do not have her best interests in mind and that Kermit is still alive. Arthur suggests Nino talk with her: she’s a piece of work. He then demonstrates a Kermit voice impression.

I have secured my immunity with the only person Raven identified; every other person it doesn’t matter because I cannot be attached to any case.

Bovice is still in my captivity, and when I’m done, Bovice won’t be able to testify to a damn thing either. And he’ll never see the inside of a jail cell.

During the conversation, Raven pointed to QF as the talker; Arthur mentions that Raven is seething and has an ego. This pride allowed for Raven to give Arthur a name: that of n Raja. “Now, you get an egotistical and vindictive man with a lot of power, standing in front of a man who he believes is truly defeated, and in that moment, I truly was. He had no reason to lie to me; his ego wouldn’t permit it. I know that because my ego wouldn’t have permitted it.” With the 24 hour timeline, Raven fully expected Arthur to fail knowing he could execute him and get him out of the way.

Conditions for his name release to Raven as believed per Arthur: 1. Raja did it with intention; so a cardinal sin, the guy must die; or 2. Raja was outmaneuvered by the chief of police; so ludicrous.

Nowadays more people know about Arthur and his medical abilities – yet, Arthur affirms the rest of his business has not been shared. There is legitimately no way for anyone to know.

Arthur indicates during a talk with Raja, the latter admitted to possibly being outwitted by Raven. An assumption was made and a name was given.

However, Raja is under the impression several people have been sent by Arthur to kill him. Suddenly, Nino picks up on what sounded like footsteps and climbs a ladder to investigate. No one is seen.

Back to Raja. Conversation is just conversation, that’s it. So what’s up with this seemingly apparent trap placed by Raven; why you two, questions Nino. Don’t know, but I know he wasn’t bluffing with me.

Given this information, Raven is possibly acting on his own accord, says Nino. This is good – he could be useful. But bad – how long will he last.

Maybe a connection with the night Arthur went to QF. Story involves Erin and a judge.

Nino inquires about Erin’s part in all this; is her safety at risk? Arthur requested of her to take herself more seriously if she were to work with him and earn the respect of more people in LS as she is indeed intelligent, yet her impulsive and loud demeanor and pink hair draw other conclusions. It’s up to Erin to demonstrate to others her intellect.

There was a rumor that Arthur sent Funnyman a contract to kill Raja; he did not, but Erin was standing next to him when Arthur spoke to Funnyman. Also Raja was trying to call him at the time – Arthur didn’t pick up as his 24 hour deadline had started and Raja wasn’t priority.

New subject matter, Bondi Boys and their vast reach with a number count. Dundee apparently wants some security for his group. Nino vouches for Dundee for when shit gets real. Arthur had told Dundee of his 24 hour ultimatum to retrieve Bovice and Dundee replied:

“I know, that with time, you can change appearance. You can change your voice. You need to hide, and there is no better place to hide than down here, because there are so many of us, no-one would think to look at you twice other than a new prospect.”

Arthur feels this doesn’t fit Dundee – he further says Raja may have been the one to drop his name to the authorities. Dundee replies Raja will be dead in 60 minutes; Arthur says he’s busy. Then something at PDM. Dundee has issues with personnel but does hold some business capability.

Uchiha calls to let Nino know the delivery is completed.

Talk moves again to Funnyman. Arthur knows Funnyman/Contractor.

Nino now asks about CG and the DA: Arthur spoke to Vinny as the communicator for CG. Arthur is ‘fixing’ the situation with West. Why would CG and Vinny question Arthur? Because I’m a nobody. Someone else asked for me to fix the situation. I’m wiping slates clean. Alright, so I can let Vinny and party know you are legit, says Nino.

Be aware there’s a certain misdirection I include in my work, but I can be more fully honest with them if you would rather, says Arthur.

You can be honest, but limit their intake of information, confirms Nino. Some people like to talk, blatantly or in an accidental manner (third parties).

Arthur ponders more why CG might have asked Nino about him. He was riding in Choi’s car from the VU to Pillbox a few weeks back when CG rolled up and started stirring up shit. Arthur alludes to telling them to leave in his high-pitched voice and Vinny gives his number, requesting a talk. References the night of Sonya’s drowning.

Nino states he’ll chat with CG to ensure no complications arise out of no necessity.

Want to meet the former DA? Arthur pulls out his phone at Nino’s “yes” and sets a meet.

Nino learns Angel was kidnapped by Bovice a little while ago. Arthur reads some text messages.

Nino and Arthur prepare to leave. Just one challenge remains: the ledge and subsequent ladder. Nino makes it, Arthur does not. Nino tries to call Ducky but no answer. Pillbox it is. [Danger cube hit and Dondi is disconnected.] Arthur receives treatment.

Vinny calls to say the event went well. Nino says great, also we need to talk later.

Nino changes his clothes into an inconspicuous black outfit and alters his walk. The two set up to meet with West. Discussion on lack of lawyers in LS. Angel wants to be involved in the VU.

DA Adrienne West arrives. Arthur talks, introduces Nino as someone who doesn’t talk much, then tells her to plead for her life to Nino. She proceeds to do just that. Arthur then asks a series of short questions. She mentions she was kidnapped twice this week alone. She was hurt by the police and no-one else. She hurt someone else and felt “freedom, and bliss, complete euphoria”. When it comes to the CG case, she plans on announcing the only people that hurt her was her sister and the PD. She believes Kermit is alive and he’s working on a case at the moment.

Arthur thanks her for the meeting, then asks one more question about the weapon she used when she hurt someone: “a shiny machete,” which is now in Arthur’s possession. On acceptance, she makes her exit. Nino and Arthur do the same, leaving the area.

Well she seems pretty under control. Arthur’s been at work. “There are no problems, only obstacles. Very few things can’t be solved by a little bit of coerciveness and conversion therapy. Like I said, I’m not a killer, I’m just the Doctor.”

Timetable? Uncertain, there might be two buildings we need. For Bovice – plans for maybe days or short weeks.

Nino changes into white pants and a red shirt and heads to SBS court. Topic in court: Conan blew up Chang’s car. Nino’s offered a bribe, does some drugs, and enjoys the show.

Bobilo Coco(?) calls and inquires about Nino’s company SI. He’s new to LS and is looking to enhance his business of a pet store. Or as Nino hears it, a pistol or whatever. Or a pot store? He wants workers. Nino will hook him up with Bruce.

**Vinny’s Skepticism:**

TL;DR: Nino assures Vinny of Arthur’s reliability (to an extent).

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Now with Vinny in the S15, they pass a police officer parked alongside the road who says to be very careful with tuna fish. Anyway, Nino tells Vinny he can trust Arthur but keeps it vague. Vinny still retains a little skepticism. Nino simply replies that it is mutually beneficial for CG not to lose the case. Vinny alludes to Arthur demonstrating West to him, same as Arthur just did for Nino.

Nino remarks that actions and strategies overall remain unchanged whether the trust lies in Arthur or not. But what if we trust him, and the case is lost? Severe repercussions follow, says Vinny. It’s a bad play to direct negative attention to the one who attempted to help you, says Nino. Vinny will take it the way it is, the way to go here.

Vinny and Co. are on bail waiting for the court case; he’s going a little crazy with the stress and legal parameters.

Talk on future illegal business ramping up.

**JJ’s Take:**

TL;DR: Considering his closest allies’ actions, JJ brings to Nino his thoughts and knowledge on the whirlwind situation brought on by the PD.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

JJ says Arthur is putting people he works with in harms way, such as Jordan and Erin. Arthur’s schemes are utilizing Harmony’s resources and the guy seems to have a very big problem with Raja, which JJ thinks will lead to Erin being killed.

Upon hearing that Arthur is sending gifts to Raja, Nino disclaims, saying these are rumors. JJ says Erin said it herself that the Bondi Boys were sent after Raja to bring to Erin. Interesting. A meeting mediated by the Lost MC included some gang representatives to discuss this particular situation. Conflicting stories about Jordan now. JJ is considering intents behind actions of those he is close to.

Didn’t Erin quit Harmony? Yes, then she returned, but she is infatuated by Arthur and is incredibly likely going after Raja.

Arthur has no active dealings with Raja. What do you know about Raja’s relationship with Arthur?

Not much, he snitched to Raven – Raja admitted this action as a mistake. Do you believe Raja?

Times have changed, I’ve been working with Raja and he operates well. JJ gives an account of Raja’s story of the 24 hour timeline. From what I’ve been told, says Nino, I think Erin is acting under her own will. About Jordan, no idea.

Jordan supplied Arthur with a silencer to take Bovice, JJ was hiding in Harmony, Funnyman tried to take Raja in the middle of Legion Square. The Bondi Boys shot up PDM to try to lure Raja out. Hmm.

I think Arthur is doing his shit, Raja’s doing his shit, and the PD created a whirlwind to spice things up and see if they can watch the collision. Talk slightly switches to Erin and Jordan; both will probably be fine.

Big things are in the works. Nino will set up a meet for JJ and Arthur very soon. Nino lets JJ know the extent of loyalty Arthur has to him and tells him he once took his face.

Officer McCree pulls Nino over. Turns out this guy wants more information on the tuna fish sandwich killer – there’s a serial killer in town. Thus, Nino avoids a ticket.

**Looking for a Sandwich:**

TL;DR: Nino casually begins the search for a tuna sandwich, which will supposedly lead him to a serial killer. He picks up Sonya and learns she left Black Betty and that there is some rife in Dundee’s MC.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino tweets out that he’s looking for a sandwich. Seconds later, Sonya rings. When questioned about tuna, she says she maybe has some. More calls come in. Nino picks up Sonya from Integrity; she thought “tuna” was a code word for a weapon or similar. No, actual tuna… more talk.

Bobilo calls again, Nino thinks he’s trying to sell him a witch. His pet store is going well, he’s getting some employees.

Sonya says she can show Nino where to get a tuna sandwich and marks the GPS. She explains she had a falling out and left Black Betty, her own company. She mentions Dundee: so was Dundee kicked out? They arrive at location, Zee’s restaurant place. Discussion on why Nino is looking for a serial killer.

Another Bob who owns a pet store calls, what a coincidence. This guy says he has tuna sandwiches. He says Nino talks strange then abruptly hangs up. Sonya now tries this number and says he hung up.

Another officer is seen; Nino requests to get into contact with McCree to give him a lead on the tuna fish killer. Nino determines this cop is slightly incompetent and ends up following him back to the station, where he speaks with McCree and a lieutenant, highlighting their colleague’s unsuitable and slow actions.

[After a short disconnect,] Nino gets a ride to PD with Copper. He does coke in the car. Back at PD, gets back in the S15 with Sonya and discusses more this serial killer and PD interest. Talk on what constitutes snitching. Bovice’s prize pool. Benny’s. CG possible death penalty. Bovice’s message, whether effective or not. Gnomes and that message.

Sonya’s a free-spirited open-for-contracts person now. Her planned path didn’t work out due to some influences in the city and outside forces. Nino takes note: maybe she could help with some contracts… She considers OTT a huge snitch. Etc.

Nino spots Jordan and asks how Harmony is. It’s a bit quiet lately. Legal contracts to come regarding chicken trucks. Used car lot, repossession of vehicles in terms of the cars as collateral for loans provided by SI – if Jordan wants a part in the process. Talk on details of repossession.

### **Episode 103 [Oct 9, 2019]**

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/492838147

**Executive Summary: Nino argues with Thalia, gives advice to Antho, connects with Siz, and hosts The Apprentice for participants Ramee, Uchiha, and Eugene for the position of Assistant manager at Cluckin' Bell.**

**Zee’s Business:**

TL;DR: Zee informs Nino of an issue facing her business, namely, that of the HOA.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Meets with Zee. She has a possible location for the diner – however, the HOA presents an issue. That of safety. Nino says the investment was an experiment – a test of a sort. Zee details her experience with the HOA. Lesson learned: don’t say “Fuck the HOA”.

Have you thought of bringing them into your business? Absolutely not, I’m not empowering them.

Offer the other party something, that’s how to advance in this game. And the actions of your husband reflect your stance as well. Consider becoming allies with this group that forced your hand – or live in fear. Small business owners will always be a target for exploitation. You need friends for protection.

Zee asks if Nino likes bird watching – the reply is that it sounds boring as shit. You can learn a lot from bird watching, she says. I like to keep to myself, says Nino. Zee says there is a reason he is on top. Nino says that would be just a perception.

If problems continue to persist worst-case scenario, let me know, says Nino. The way this world works is on trade: give and take. And sometimes, take without the target knowing. They part.

As he is leaving, a man in a tow truck yells for Nino to slow down. The guy is HOA and Nino listens to him give a short speech then asks who his boss is. Siz. Alright, Nino tazzes him and says to the guy to tell Siz Nino wants to talk to him.

On the road again, the Russians are spotted. Nino is asked if he is good about 5 times. Is there a reason I shouldn’t be good?! I can be not good! Coke. Finally convinced he is good, they split ways.

Nino and Randy get in a car crash. Vinny. Kiki. Nino invites Vinny to a dinner with him and Thalia. Topic will possibly be business stuff. Thalia shows, Vinny leaves.

**Thalia’s Back:**

TL;DR: Thalia wants to know why she and Nino stopped talking. Long argument.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Thalia wants to catch up and see how Nino is doing. They head to the wharf/pier. As Nino buys a beer, a black car flies by and Nino and Thalia investigate. It’s Kiki and Fiona. Back to just Nino and Thalia. Argument, Thalia thought they were going to ERP. Nino pops open his beer and listens.

She wants to know why they stopped talking. Cause of your ‘crazy bitch’ switch. Debate. Why should I talk to you? You’ve served your purpose. LUL. Am I just a vagina to you? Nino essentially says yes. Payne. Bailey.

Nino references their original agreement: whatever he did on the side was okay. So what’s the problem? But you didn’t really keep it just on the side, she replies. There’s a ‘hot nasty’ and just a ‘nasty’. More discussion.

Nino says Thalia snitched on Ramee. Oh, it was nothing. What?! He didn’t get caught. Still a snitch!

Nino requests to pat Thalia down for a wire. No wire found. You went to the cops, Thalia, I don’t deal with that. That impacts trust. Thalia gives her side: she was put unwillingly into that position. Apologize to Ramee. No, he threatened me with a gun!

Nino says it would have been cool for Thalia to do lines with him. Is what I would do not enough?

Cop sirens are heard, Nino says they need to go. They race off. Nino then says just kidding. Anyway, new location.

I cannot compromise too much – and end story, you talked to the cops. I didn’t go to the cops.

She said stuff to get Nino’s attention, which worked, but it was the wrong kind of attention. They leave this location as it’s the entrance to a hotel. Argument continues. Problems with communication, etc. Big crash, both are fine. Car is not, though. Repair. Line of coke. More of the same arguments.

Talk on Jordan. Cop. They part ways.

Garage Q. Bryce. Nino meets with the guy who wants the loan for some property. [He is disconnected.]

Thalia calls. To Pillbox Nino goes. Nino sees Edward and chats a bit to later realize Thalia heard the whole conversation. Nino and Thalia agree to move on.

Nino questions an EMT just outside to what degree she would tell of any criminal activity. If serious activity or if someone was hurt, she will. By rule, EMS needs to report every single crime they witness. Nino pokes drug activity. Weed is allowed, though.

Suddenly, rapid fire heavy weaponry is heard. Holy shit. Later, an explosion. Nino continues to investigate. Ballas and Russians maybe.

Now with the loan dude again. He’s part of the Misfits. They arrive to the desired house, and the guy says he wants a 30k loan. Nino says that’s steep; I need more information and need to talk to Payne. It’s determined the guy has a rx7 he is willing to use for collateral so off they go. His name is Josh King.

Contract written up, 30k from Sahara with 30% interest for 2 weeks with the rx7 as collateral. Failure to make 39k by due date with result in car and property going to Sahara. Info noted. Contract accepted. To the bank, where Nino hands over 30k to Josh.

**Advice to Antho:**

TL;DR: Antho is dreaming big; Nino suggests some actions forward.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino and Antho link up. Talk on CKR and Dab. Antho details a business idea of several other workings underneath the CKR name. Nino says he’s dreaming too big. Antho says he’s a loner at the moment – so don’t make waves right now. What is CKR, what do the other members think, are you the leader pushing it forward right now?

Nino suggests creating value by developing a useful and desired specialty currently untapped – ensure people know you are doing this well. Carve out this niche or take it. Before an empire is created a foundation must be established. Could be as simple as being known as the guy with thermite.

Antho is searching for a purpose in Los Santos. His identity used to be tied to CKR but that group is not as prevalent these days: he’s feeling a bit alienated. Antho has a certain personality and character and wants to find his place.

Nino sees the benefit of Antho yet does not currently have any specific jobs for him now. He says to find a group of people Antho resonates with, hang out a bit, then offer a pact. It’s a long play, but that’s the path for Antho, a one man army.

They share coke and talk about UFC.

Mel and friends are doing security at Benny’s.

Nino reads a new email in the terminal from Morpheus – operations are set to resume.

On the highway, Nino spots Curtis repairing his supra. He’s okay, but Tony does not look too good. They had trouble with cops, who received “instant fucking karma”.

At Harmony, Carlos services the S15. Nino chats a bit about the meaning of “Órale” and his S15 with Carlos. [I missed when he paid but it’s highly probable he paid for the service.] Some advanced repair kits and Nino is back on his way.

Vinny says Ramee scams even his own brothers and to just give Uchiha the manager job at Sahara. Nino jokes, done.

Nino sees a yellow pages ad posted by a Wrenn Abcde – he markets that he can take over any job for anyone anytime for a break. Interested, Nino sets up a meet.

Wrenn arrives and Nino requests a list of clients he has had. Wrenn asks his questions – details on the job, mannerisms to reflect, etc. Nino asks for availability Sunday. Both satisfied with the other party thus far, whatever day this guy comes in Nino will relinquish control for a few hours. [Mehdi’s disconnected.]

[Back in server,] coke with Antho. As he’s running alongside the road, Mother’s voice is heard, “I liked you better in a suit”. Nino refers to ERP and they plan to meet later.

Benny’s security is still on duty.

Nino and Saab meet. The prerequisites for the BBC deliveries are being checked off, Friday 5pm EST is determined for the first one. Crash, repair. Talk on Mother. Saab indicates he and Brenda are no longer together. Big air, lands it. Then crash, repair. Talk on dreams. Loops back to Brenda.

Mask is in the Tuner Shop, they catch up and discuss the city. Nuclear missile investigation. Talk on Mother. [Server to restart so Mehdi sends it.]

**The Apprentice:**

TL;DR: Nino hosts a competition between Uchiha, Ramee, and Eugene for a role at Sahara International.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Uchiha and Ramee prepare for appearances on The Apprentice – the prize being a manager role of some sort at Sahara. Second place is assistant to assistant. Nino is overlook. Crash, repair.

Nino informs Benny’s security team of the Ramee vs Uchiha competition. Eugene is now an additional contestant. Preparation begins and they meet at the Cluckin’ Bell factory.

First task: deliver one chicken truck per standards of quality, safety, etc. Mario and Tim are the demolition team. The trucks are lined up. Buck shows, he’ll assist. Nino loops Vinny in. Randy. Sabotage and tattle-telling. Tony and Saab arrive. Everyone except the three contestants are demolition focused.

Soze rolls ups, there were reports of gun shots. No, didn’t hear any. Soze lets Nino know the events of yesterday: CG shot a police officer on chicken factory grounds. Nino requests a copy of the police report – he can get through a lawyer. Soze drops Vinny’s, Uchiha’s, and Ramee’s names. Nino wraps it up with Soze just in time to head back to the chaos of Ramee flipping a trailer then hitting a covering Uchiha talking about a flat tire. Nino tells Vinny he has explaining to do later.

Task 1 begins! This is a stress testing task – how well do each of the contestants deal with pressure? Nino joins the demolition team. As the three semis race to the dock with their boxes of chicken, they are chased by tasers. Eugene takes a hard hit. Saab is notified that Lean Street is being raided – a bait? The alert was from a random number. Uchiha flies off a bridge and drops his position to the back of the pack. Cops now on Ramee – he doesn’t stop. Uchiha is picked up at the docks – he lost the truck but was able to still hand-deliver a box of chicken.

Back at Cluckin’ Bell, there’s a swarm of cops and blinking lights. Ramee’s seen in cuffs. Ramee had told the cops there was an ongoing competition. Discussion on Ramee vs Uchiha’s efforts. Buck asks over the radio if the police know what’s going on. Eugene arrives with the semi front. Nino pulls an officer aside to request Ramee’s only given a fine. Mario informs Tim was arrested for reckless driving. Ramee’s back.

Review time. Buck gives his assessment regarding the dock drop offs. Each contestant is given time to make a case for themselves. Nino asks questions. Several cop cars skid into position surrounding the stage yelling for Eugene. Nino asks to see the relevant warrant for his grounds. Eugene makes a break for it and three cop cars frantically charge for him. Nino calls Jerry to say cops are causing chaos on his property and that he wants a warrant.

Vinny gives his overview review. Buck follows.

Prep begins for Task 2. Chicken suit outfit. Nino talks with Buck, Tim, and Mario. Jerry calls back with information that the department had a warrant, more talk, etc. Off to the restaurant. Task 2: both Uchiha and Ramee, dressed in chicken suits, are to compete to make the most amount of money via customers to the restaurant. They are allowed to advertise. Buck, Tim, and Mario prepare to play difficult customers.

Not too long later, a customer and Ramee are downed. Welp. A man who looks like Jordan [not actually Penta] arrives and Uchiha snags the sale. Eugene calls to inform he just escaped from the hospital: Nino gives the task 2 details. Chaos, tasers. Eugene arrives dressed like a holiday-spirited chicken. Uchiha starts offering “Happy discounts” and stocks. Eugene shows and joins the competition.

Steady stream of customers, including Tony, Saab, Brenda, Choi, Ellie, and Jerry. Uchiha watches Chinese investments, does inventory, cleans the flooding bathroom, and deals with some difficult customers. Ramee not so much. It doesn’t end well for the former, though, as an end meeting between Ramee and Uchiha (and Eugene?) goes sour and Uchiha is found motionless on the bathroom floor. Medical attention and regroup for review.

Uchiha is given some good words by the judges overall. Ramee, Uchiha, and Eugene now get a chance to make their cases. Next, the money is counted. It’s revealed Ramee had robbed Uchi. Sirens are heard and Nino accidently steps too far over the edge at the back of his office while investigating – falls. Uchiha follows in a vain attempt to save him. Buck and Tim take them to Pillbox. As Choi treats Nino, she mutters that she’ll pay him 40k to hire Uchiha. Nice, Nino was going to choose Uchiha anyway!

Coke for some quick energy to run to the bank, then Choi hands over 40k. Nino requests Choi keeps Uchiha on track.

Nino announces the winner outside Pillbox and appoints a disappointed Ramee as the assistant to the assistant manager. Nino says to keep illegal activity away from the chicken factory, referring to last night’s events. Almost gets towed by an HOA member Tyler. A disagreement and dent into the S15 leads to a subsequent 5k bounty on his head. Nino gives necessary contact numbers to Uchiha.

Chats to Ziggy about warrants and private property. Mario rides with Nino for a brief moment in an attempt in going after Jordan. [Or not?]

Nino drives by Buck and requests he takes a ride. Assignment given: drop Jordan with the allusion of it being your own vendetta. If not tonight, deal off the table. Jordan’s line that helped spark this decision: “We don’t have to present shit to you, alright motherfucker”.

Nino almost gets towed in front of Integrity. He waited until the tow truck was in position then tazed the driver and the tires before speeding off. Meets back up with Buck. Talk on cocaine.

TL;DR: Nino and Siz have a conversation about a variety of things, including coke, Zee, Erin, and the PD. Matters of principles and perspective. Spiderweb. Asset management / loan offerings future opportunity.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino calls Siz to discuss the dude from earlier who tried to tow him at Pillbox. Inquires about coke and their going price: 16k (cause double now). Nino may have something in store for Siz. Erin may be in some sort of trouble.

In-person with Siz. Nino questions the situation with Zee. Initially she refused to pay the $10, then she agreed. Later, Siz is informed via Kindle she was on the other side again. Zee calls and confirms some details for the upcoming fair event. Back to talking about her with Siz. Her husband is Siri and he’s now the topic of conversation. Sounds like what Zee said earlier was accurate.

So what’s up with Erin? Her problems stem from the PD. (?), Arthur, Raja. Siz says he thinks the PD is playing them; Nino agrees. Everyone has faults – it’s important to realize them and acknowledge them per business purposes. Criminal underground rules. Back to discussing Erin, Nino says to remember differing perspectives.

Nino gives the story of Raja’s journal – the discovery, talk with Raja, Jazz, the book. Perception is everything. The point of the book, or lack thereof. Jeremy Yang’s connection. Remember perception. Spiderweb. Arthur. Emotions.

Why Arthur and Raja targeted by PD? That’s what I want to know as well, and why they were/are on the radar. Plus why accept the 24hr ultimatum, why play along? Sounds like some suicide mission shit.

Erin mentioned by Siz as possible next overseer of VU. As far as Siz is aware, Arthur is still alive. Nino has some puzzle pieces regarding this PD thing, but everything else is speculation.

Erin may have feelings for Arthur. Erin’s place and power in LS, at least in the sense of this situation. PD may not even keep it’s end of the deal. Etc.

Potential loan acquisition and asset recovery etc. opportunity later. Relevant to Payne. Paperwork is almost done, storage capabilities, liquidation processing.

Nino calls Payne and requests a private meeting. [Disconnected, loads back in.]

Meeting with Payne scheduled for Friday.

### **Episode 102 [Oct 8, 2019]**

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/492394957

**Executive Summary: Nino hears differing perspectives on the Vagos vs OTT war. Arthur must face the consequences of an ultimatum.**

Annabelle calls – Leslie Ling and ERP talk. Zee wants to talk. Quick ride to Sahara. Speedy wants to talk. Tony wants to talk – something about business investing.

**Speedy’s Perspective:**

TL;DR: Speedy questions whether he is a snitch – he informs Nino of his recent actions and asks his opinion. Topic: Vagos and OTT war.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino picks up Speedy for a private conversation. Talk on weather, then dreams, then Bill Gates. Speedy gives his perspective of the OTT vs Vagos war. He says he hired a lawyer to take away OTT’s prized building. Apparently, however, OTT recorded something and is telling everyone Speedy is a snitch – which is making Speedy question his actions. He says he’s losing confidence. He put OTT on the authorities’ radar through the lawyer. OTT was raided due to these events.

Nino questions exactly what Speedy said to the lawyer. With the information Speedy tells him, he states since Speedy didn’t go to the cops [in a basic sense], he’s not a snitch per that definition. So go teach those calling you a snitch a lesson. But there’s possibly a recording of some sort? So what? You’re one of the one respected on the south side – use this opportunity to define your friends and partners in life. Don’t trust the ones on the other side of the line.

Speedy says he will handle the situation; he just wants to be clear with Nino as he respects him. Nino again reminds of Speedy’s backbone and his power he should display if someone should call him a snitch. Speedy returns that he will be ruthless.

**OTT’s Perspective:**

TL;DR: Right on time, Nino hears the other perspective of this war – that of OTT. Nino again questions.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

OTT is found on the side of the road; now he wants to talk. He starts by saying Speedy is a snitch. “He fucked me raw.” OTT is stressed, he wants coke. OTT gives a rundown of his perspective of this recent activity with Speedy. The Vagos leader takes everything for himself, the pawnshop moves groups, taxes concerning the pawnshop, OTT is loyal and saves Speedy so much, Speedy wants pix for pawn tax but OTT doesn’t want to give, Speedy declares war, things seem fishy as Creampie Creations is under seize a lot, gang meeting about gang street rules, Speedy calls his lawyer, OTT says Speedy admitted to his face that Speedy told his lawyer all the buildings OTT owns, Speedy got the cops to raid OTT per his lawyer, and set a target on Creampie Creations.

So got any evidence? Nino is able to talk for the first time in minutes.

“Yes, I’ve got evidence!” Evidently, Speedy has admitted to everyone and told his lawyer about C2 weapons and where to find them. Speedy going 100%. Misfits are located in Legion Square and have 3 buildings: only Creampie Creations is publicly listed.

Nino again questions what exactly Speedy said to the lawyer, as this is the origin point. The answer: buildings, C2 weapons, go after OTT. He really is walking around telling people this? According to OTT, yes. OTT suggests to talk to Eugene and Speedy. OTT thinks Speedy is scared, etc.

Nino just wants to determine if Speedy is or is not a snitch. He doesn’t do business with those who deal with authorities. It would be a big destabilization to the rest of the criminal network. But I need evidence for this label; it’s a strong tag.

OTT states he will never snitch and never use that label lightly. Rambles more about Speedy. OTT says he will be ruthless.

Nino says Speedy’s lawyer can’t do shit if there was only one pistol found in his house. OTT requests Nino to ask Eugene about all this. Nino asks what led to the raid – class 2 activities at Creampie Creations, an unwitnessed activity. So there needs to be a witness though… besides Speedy… who was it?

“Cops have seen us.”

Now satisfied with a conclusion, Nino starts driving again and questions why OTT is shooting on his property in the first place. Gotta protect.

Nino says Creampie Creations will most likely be fine with a fair trial. He’ll investigate this snitch label and will take OTT’s perspective into account.

Nino calls Curtis and is invited to Lean Street. Some cops roll up via reports of a gun. Some words are shared and the cops leave. Back to the friendly fighting event. Leslie slowly rolls by, they plan to meet.

**Curtis’ Deliberations:**

TL;DR: Curtis is straight, Nino questions him about this Vagos vs OTT situation. Curtis inquires about Arthur.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Alone with Curtis, Nino is quick to the point and asks what’s going on with this “Speedy is a snitch” shit. Curtis breaks it down – Speedy talked to a lawyer about the C2 weapons and OTT’s buildings. Commence raid. It was a good power move, says Curtis, but Speedy is talking about it too much around LS.

Deliberation on what exactly constitutes snitching, because the definition is not an obvious and common definition. Nino and Curtis discuss further how this label is viewed and consequences that can result.

Curtis brings up Arthur, who he says owns the VU and is a doctor per the Bikers’ verbiage. LB are trying to figure out this guy, as he seems to have a lot of connections in LS and he has something to do with Raja vs Dundees – Arthur a snitch?

Absolutely not. Wait, tell me more.

Dundee hired Curtis, wanted to check if Raja was snitching on him. Big meet at Bikers’ spot. Baiting Arthur by telling him if he doesn’t give up someone, he’ll be on the receiving end of a firing squad. Yada yada, Curtis dozed off at this point. Stuff about snitching. Raja, Dundee, and Gary might know more information.

Nino affirms Arthur is highly likely not snitching. Curtis asks if LB should chat with Arthur. Certainly, get his perspective. This is the world of gossip and manipulation; get your own impressions and make your own determinizations.

So someone is saying Arthur’s a snitch? And there’s some firing squad threat on Arthur?

Hear about Kermit, the ADA? Says Curtis. He was murdered by Chang Gang last night [perma].

Nino has a very long missed calls list.

**Something is Brewing – A Talk with JJ:**

TL;DR: Nino and JJ discuss the PD’s anomaly of two ultimatums, the VU, and Arthur.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

JJ is priority. He says he conversed earlier with Jordan: the chief of police, Raven, tweeted he wanted to speak with the Doctor. When Arthur showed, Raven threatened him with a firing squad should he not deliver Bovice to him within 24 hours. Then, Raven also went to Raja with the same deal, but with the new threat of ‘taking down his empire’. PD is ramping up their hunt for Bovice. But wait, there’s more! JJ said that if anything happens to Arthur, the VU goes to Jordan.

The VU has been in construction for a while; it’s a place for trade, conversation, and neutrality without fear of consequence of any type of authoritative power. Its target audience is gangs and it is set to be operated by the currency of tokens to buy and sell goods.

Nino indirectly owns the VU – it doesn’t matter the profits or success/failure. This operation has been ongoing for months, yet its secrecy was compromised due to talking rats. It would be nice if the VU was a success and a massive inconvenience if it falls.

Jordan is not entirely a good choice to run the VU in Nino’s opinion. Sun Moon was considered a while ago, but his friends and enemies change daily – the owner needs to be a neutral party and aware that their worth is an extension of the net worth of the criminal underground: the opposing side is the police/feds. Personal ambitions cannot come into play.

Discussion on the depth of what Jordan knows and does not, and Jordan’s future. Let’s bring the focus back to this firing squad. There must be some serious dirt to jump to that threat, says JJ. Why the sudden intense effort to get Bovice?

Nino and JJ are grateful to not be caught up in all this shit.

Talk on Arthur. He’s caught up in this shit now and will need to work through it. JJ gives an example of Arthur’s attitude – Arthur tried to put in an order for AKs from Jordan, who directs him away, then Arthur said he’ll “go to the main man”. Welp.

Waiting game now. Talk returns to PD’s actions of the ultimatums. JJ explains the line of communication to this information: both sources talked directly to Jordan.

Do you know of a meeting down south [it was really up north] this morning? JJ does not. There, Raja was saying Arthur’s a snitch. Is there something brewing? We need more information to clarify before we make conclusions. Either there is a lot of collusion taking place, or it’s snitch season.

JJ has a new job as a repo guy for FastLane.

**Eugene’s Perspective:**

TL;DR: Nino gets another perspective of this Vagos vs OTT war per Eugene. Nino and Eugene discuss Bovice and the PD’s stance.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

4 men in matching yellow clothes say it’s rat season and cleanse the city. One is Eugene, who gets in the passenger seat of the S15. Very quickly, the topic of Speedy supposedly snitching comes up. Nino probes and Eugene devolves: He’s snitching. OTT is having Creampie Creations taken away per a lawyer – he gathered the intel then told his lawyer to tell the cops. Said it was a 200 IQ play. Eugene then says he told Speedy that was essentially the essence of snitching.

Nino questions this third source what exactly Speedy told his lawyer. Eugene returns with yes, Speedy admitted it to him that he told the lawyer about the C2 weapons.
So what the fuck is really going on. Eugene says Speedy snitched per the lawyer proxy. Los Santos should expect a new song by OTT soon about all this. Speedy’s getting fucked by talking too much. Dry snitching. LB relationship: Eugene thinks LB are now after OTT as they are on Speedy’s side.

What’s about these rats you’re exterminating? Turns out it’s not related to snitch season, it’s about cops. Ah.

Nino informs Kermit is dead. Eugene informs Mel was taken in and beaten by Soze because Bovice lived in Eugene’s house. Nino is taken by surprise: Bovice lived in your house?! You had a serial killer living in your house?! It’s alright, we’ll deal with him - we’re going to put him down. You trying to die?! No, he trusts me!

It has to happen according to Eugene – the authorities are starting to investigate more. Bovice hired CG to kidnap Angel and they brought her to Eugene’s house. Thus, the house was raided. For some reason, even though his name is on the house, they haven’t brought in Eugene for questioning. The fuck?! But Mel was questioned. And Bovice is now living in Paleto.

Nino gives the idea of #eugeneworld rather than #boviceworld. Nino is contemplating hooking up Eugene with Arthur (or someone else) to get rid of Bovice once and for all.

They enjoy some coke. The reward for Bovice is at least 2 million now with the inclusion of the lighthouse.

Sees Bruce: very short business talk.

**Jerry’s Perspective:**

TL;DR: Jerry’s turn to provide a perspective on the Vagos vs OTT war. He was the participating lawyer.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

[Someone made a TL;DR clip - https://clips.twitch.tv/GracefulFancyMeatloafChefFrank]

Next on the docket, Jerry. Nino says he’s in trouble – there’s a video of Jerry masturbating. Nino says Jerry has a warrant now for him. Jerry is freaking out.

Nino moves to the topic of the day – what did Speedy tell him exactly? There was a report from the Vagos of some shooting involving OTT’s building. The police already had a big report on this activity in progress. This report seemed to be the final push for the cops to take action and initiate a raid. Speedy gave no information to Jerry, it was other Vagos.

Nino wants to know if there is evidence. It starts to rain and they decide to take a nice walk. Jerry says there was a gang war. Plaid shirt identification. Talk on why OTT is shooting in his area.

Jerry is relieved to know the tape Nino alluded to earlier in this conversation is a ruse. ERP / girlfriend talk.

Mission with Jerry: pick up Bambi. And not get disbarred. They wait at Pillbox. Jerry gets a text from Bambi, evidently, she’s in trouble. Nino and Ducky square up: Nino is confused why. Jerry says his girlfriend plays with her friends at a playground every day.

“Taco Girl” shows. They chat. She needs a doctor. Uchiha asks for $40 and gets 1k from Nino. He’s hurting for money because he’s a “double-murderer” allegedly. Nino confuses Chloe with Bambi. The EMS playground is questioned.

Vinny calls – he needs to talk to Nino after last night’s events. Will meet later.

Jerry, Nino, and Taco Girl talk about hotdogs/tacos/sandwiches. Etc.

Antho is CKR and needs to talk to Nino. [Server restart.]

**Arthur’s Ultimatum:**

TL;DR: Arthur informs Nino of his side of the ultimatum and his interactions with Raven. Suicide mission?

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino and Arthur meet. Nino brings up this Bovice ultimatum. Arthur informs the timer is currently at 8 hours. Underground they go. Arthur starts with the information pertaining directly to his business. Nothing. Nino says he’s interested in all this due to Arthur’s name.

Arthur was called by the chief of police and was greeted with the name, “Mr. Hammond”. Raven must have been told. Artlhur knows he is being watched to a degree, but, at most, the watchers are just grasping at straws. This call from Raven then is completely unexpected. EMT lurking around QF. Arthur met with him and discovered Raven knows “fucking everything”.
This must be taken and handled: Arthur had to buy time. Thus, Arthur was given a near impossible task: the ultimatum as mentioned earlier. Raven did so to prove on other people, per Arthur.

Arthur had given the PD a piece of evidence to prove he was capable in exchange for the name of who gave his name to the PD, giving him up: someone related to QF [Dondi muted at name/other]. To Arthur, he did so because there was no reason to lie and give a fake name.

Nino’s turn to communicate. Any reason for bad blood? Suggesting QF?

No, I’m not a fan of keeping notes. I keep away from QF. Raven is implicating Raja. Based on my interactions with Raja, and other accounts, he has the incessant need to always be the smartest man in the room.

Nino states he has not been keeping tabs on this. What’s the cause of this issue, what intel was released?

Most everything gets out eventually; it’s just a matter of time. It doesn’t fit the prior pattern.

Nino requests Arthur to start from the top.

Intent of Raven was to collect Arthur 16 hours ago. At that point, Raven had enough information to incriminate Arthur, but didn’t have enough to get everyone. Arthur is planning to stop the fuse that Raven has lit. A sacrifice play. No one else is going to do it and Arthur considers it his job. Arthur assures this will not lead back to anyone; Raven’s fuse will be stopped.

Why the vagueness? You don’t want to know, you don’t want to think about it. His principles.

Nino remarks on the strangeness of the situation – the weird ultimatums. He considers the why. Another thing, he’s not down south.

I have the keys to his place. I just need him to wake up.

If you need anything, just let me know. And if you find a rat.

I’ll provide you a manifesto by the end of the night, says Arthur. And again, your business and yourself are in the clear. Raja is of no concern.

Nino makes one last remark before Arthur exits the car: “I better see you tomorrow.”

Nino calls Vinny, who talks from his end of the conversation as if Nino is a lawyer. He’s in jail up north. Crashes, repairs.

Airfield with Tony and Siz. Tony’s tour business is expanding beyond just boats and he’s pushing the business along. He’s looking for Nino to invest. Meeting set for next Friday. Tony offers to roll dice for 30k. [They experiment with props.] Siz inquires about some materials he gave to Bruce to give to Nino. 5k transferred to Siz and Nino also texts to ask how many bricks he has.

Nino calls Bubby then his car is hit by a RV recklessly swerving on the highway. A repair and a chase later, the RV is CG. Vinny and Uchiha.

Crashes, repairs. Harmony. Nino pays the serviceman 7k. He also receives multiple advanced repair kits.

Nino meets with Bubby, who gives him a good amount and variety of material. Bubby further markets himself, he’s got a team getting this stuff and is interested in future business. Nino hands over 32k. Bubby might be getting a new house soon, Zee’s old one. Nino puts the materials in a house.

Nino calls a guy listed in the yellow pages who says he’s selling materials. Nino asks about aluminum. Deal made, meet at Pink Cage. Random guy. Denzel. Random guy. Geno. Glove compartment gets the aluminum and Geno gets 5k cash. Nino gives him a fake name, Marcus. Additional aluminum added to other materials in that same house.

Nino deposits 300k into the Cluckin’ Bell account. [Server hotfix incoming so] Nino sends it.

### **Episode 101 [Oct 7, 2019]**

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/492394637

**Executive Summary: Nino looks to put the Misfits on his radar. Nino and Vinny start up a venture for offering loans in Los Santos.**

Nino talks to Edward. His day is not going so well, but the chicken trucks are fine. All good, then. He is informed of Uchiha and Ramee being potential interns of some sort. Also of the progress of BBC – which now requires truck drivers sourced from Cluckin’ Bell, preferably at the senior level. Edward and Pinto will work together to track and manage this additional work. These BBC trucks will be carrying up to about 50k worth of supplies: lucrative hit if hijacked.

**Misfits:**

TL;DR: Nino is updated on the Misfits and OTT; he wants to know what the group can provide LS.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino runs into OTT. Misfits group. Long spiel of the Misfits war with the Vagos. There might be a related new song soon. Discussion on Creampie Creations and a warrant. He’s looking for revenge against the Vagos. The court case is coming up. Nino gives a general overview of his legal business dealings. Good words on Edward shared.

Cop lights, pulled over. Officer Kyle and Angel. Out with only a warning. ERP talk.

Nino is interested in what the Misfits can provide. At the moment, some hardware. Materials not mentioned.

Benny’s. Summer – ERP discussion.

Pillbox: Dumbass, Chloe, some others. Bryce calls, he’s at PDM interviewing for a job. Nino has a job for him – he is in search of individuals who want a loan and would like Bryce to evaluate them.

A Marco calls and inquires about Sahara International; the ad Nino posted peeked interest. Nino directs to Cluckin’ Bell marketing materials for a potential job.

Vinny now calls, he wants to talk about something. Pulled over again, Ziggy and Columbo. Nino attempts to talk himself out of a ticket involving driving through red lights. Debate back and forth. Nino throws multiple iterations of $200 out the window and is slammed back with a $250 ticket.

**Loan Services:**

TL;DR: Nino and Vinny deliberate upon a venture for offering loans in Los Santos and put it into motion.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Vinny is picked up in the S15. He likes the loan shark idea and wants to get back into his old business. Discussion on offering loans – possibly a 3 tier system for separation. Talk on collateral not being limited to just money, etc. Can start with a simple framework and then make necessary modifications. Experimentation to begin with the no-names, the ones not well-known in a group. Payne to add to this.

Vinny has the whole list of the people who owe on payments for cars – perfect! We can ask them if they want a loan and hold on the repossession for a short while. One name sticks out when Vinny reads some, Russo – a lawyer? Clarence has 2 cars with payments – good target.
Sees Tessa on the road, talks for a short bit.

More dialogue on this loan venture. Vinny calls up Gavin, who shows at Sahara, where Nino and Vinny convince him to request a loan. Seems to be going well, they head to PDM to pick up a new car for the guy so he can succeed in life.

Bryce, Milton, Annabelle, ? are at PDM. Gavin is told to find a car he likes that is 20k or less for the down payment. If this guy succeeds, he can be the poster boy of the project. Nino and Vinny need some people to succeed for this to work properly.

Milton mentions Ian and his escape rooms. Nino and Vinny explain their loan idea to Milton that will help the constituents of LS. Nino devises a contract for Gavin - – a 20k loan from Sahara w/ interest rate 30% for 2 weeks; failure to make sum payment to Sahara will result in repo of the car, a Schafter V12. So due on the 21st October: 26k. The car is the collateral. A contract is written up with the details [and includes player ID]. This venture is still new, loan templates will be procured later.

Nino withdraws 20k from a bank. Nino offers the contract. [He’s stuck in his inventory and keeps punching Nino and Vinny.] The contract is accepted and Nino hands over 20k. The car is purchased.

Discussion on roles within PDM then Annabelle says she is already in this loan business, maybe they can join up? They conclude the deal with Gavin and are back at Sahara. [Disconnects briefly.] Nino and Vinny discuss more.

Vinny calls Don Russo, tries to get him onboard for getting a loan. He’s not interested.

Exchange to Vinny’s car. [Server restarts – weird 6:42 time again.]

Nino and Vinny witness police brutality. Talk on Uchiha vs Ramee for a position under Nino. Hmm, what about assistant? Or a chicken inspector? [Mehdi’s internet goes down.]

**Executive Summary: Ellie’s deep debt is alleviated a bit. Saab, Nino, and JJ track down some women who stole Saab’s car. Six Seize – the last event of the Chang Gang Olympics that determines the second-in-command.**

Nino asks if an EMT has morphine. The guy doesn't have keys to the hospital, either.

Outside Benny's, someone with a Cockney English accent tries to talk to Nino, who cannot seem to understand and thinks the language is not English. Eugene is called in to translate; his determination is that the guy is talking shit. The guy speeds off and Nino chases. Nino still cannot understand so leaves.

Sees Red near Pink Cage. He's been reinstated at FastLane and is now working with Sun Moon to bring the business back up. He wants to do more with the cars; Nino recommends speaking with Eddie. Red is looking to fill a general manager position: Nino gives an example of management at Cluckin' Bell. Red has some work ahead of him with FastLane. Ideas shared for renting vehicles: there is a good outlook here. Massive repossession of cars at FastLane soon. Massive employee restructure as well.

Pillbox, Thalia is inside. Someone behind the desk takes Nino’s name then stands by as Nino and Thalia argue. Nino hits on a female EMT in sight of Thalia. Conan and Nino still plan to meet. A Russian guy. A.J. Hunter. Now it’s Russian guy vs 4 legal enforcement. The Russian guy wins, initially at least, by driving away.

Some dude calls, Weazel News. Opportunity to promote and market the business. Nino pays a guy at Harmony 4.5k for the car service and 2k for 10 advanced repair kits. Jordan lands with a few others in a helicopter. Discussion with ? on whether a psychologist is actually a doctor or not.

Clarkson calls, he’s being kidnapped. He’ll call again when he’s free. Back in Pillbox, ? gives Nino an assessment of his cock. Gets a shot and cleaned. Nino thanks the doctor, who says he’s just the receptionist. Clarkson’s mangled body is seen entering the hospital. Short rebuttal with Thalia.

PD. Nino listens to some of the officers talk. Thalia calls, argument. Clarkson gets a call he must take and multiple cops race after a green(?) car. Nino races as well, staying just behind. Now on foot, Nino watches the situation from afar with binoculars.

Nin chides Clarkson for not being truthful to his promise to meet in 10 minutes. Josh King calls, he wants a loan of 25k from Nino. Nino agrees, but makes a few stipulations such as 30% interest paid back in 4 weeks. Nino is thinking of offering more loan extensions in the future, this could be good.

Vinny joins Nino. CG Olympics supposedly will determine the group’s second-in-command. Vinny jumps out of the car when Nino mentions Ramee as a warlord. Now he needs a hospital. Big E appearance. Pillbox.

Erin calls, she says Clarkson is trying to pull a prank on him and if Nino plays it back, she wins 5k. Nino loops Vinny in on the reverse-prank plan.

Clarkson, Vinny, and Nino at Sahara office. Clarkson states there are serious allegations on Sahara and he may have to seize the business. [Disconnected from server.] On phone with Clarkson, who won’t hang up. Office now with Vinny, Erin, and Ellie. Talk on LB money. Weed? Cars? Loaners? Vinny tells Nino in private Jerry is a CI – he tells where all the races are. Nino doesn’t think so: not the big stuff. Shaw’s good. Murphy’s not. Back to the subject of Jerry.

**Ellie's Fund:**

TL;DR: Ellie, Nino, Vinny, and Erin scam others in LS for money by pretending she’s pregnant when they learn she’s in deep debt.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Clarkson comes back. He has multiple reports of harassment regarding Sahara. Nino does coke and says plaster it all over the news. Clarkson agrees to a 5k entry fee to a new foundation for Ellie – for the children of the future, as Ellie seems to be pregnant. Nino and Erin visibly argue.

Pfister with Vinny, Erin, Ellie. Pillbox to scam some people for Ellie’s fund, i.e., her bank account. [Seems they all disconnect – RIP server.]

Integrity, Nino, Ellie, Vinny, and Erin continue to act as though Ellie’s pregnant, for the fund. They convince Hedi to donate 1k. More people show. More attempts to add to the fund. They ‘convince’ Mya to donate the 13k Ellie owes her. Wrenn. Eugene’s voice: “Vinny, are you trying to scam people?” Our gig, the core says. They dispute Eugene’s claims and taze him and Dumbass.

Wrenn says he’ll be back. Next target: Red. Saab and others show to the courthouse now. More money to the fund. Nino gets the Pfister, and the core group of 4 leave under the pretense of Ellie needing food. They’ve made like 30k so far.

Cops might have money, off to the PD. Reinhardt gives some. Clarkson again. Tuner shop, Vinny services the S15 for 2k. Nino and Ellie go after the two guys there. Success. Annabelle’s a hard sell.

This scam’s been going a while, they figure they should cover their tracks. Fake abortion time. Then they can start a mourning fund! Nino and Vinny devise a plan at CG’s house. The idea is to make Ramee believe he ERP’d with Ellie one night after doing blow. Vinny gives a tour of the house. Clothing store, Vinny dresses as Ramee and Ellie dons minimal clothes and a scarf similar to Ramee’s.

Back in CG’s house. Fake sex tape time in Chang’s dungeon. Video footage acquired! [Server restarts.]

Nino says he’s got something for Payne. Jerry, and… Ellie? Per Payne. Nah. Nino and Vinny try to get more money for Ellie. Some guy runs over someone on a motorbike. More talk. Same guy from earlier now rear-ends a parked ambulance.

To the Bowl, where the edited videos are reviewed. Saab and others join. Ramee shows with some CG members. The clip is shared. Futures are discussed. 9 people roll dice and Ellie is paid. Another roll, Randy wins. Ellie and Ramee pose as a couple for pictures.

Saab and Nino talk: BBC business. Scheduled deliveries to begin soon, things are falling into place. The two explore the headquarters. For logistics, Saab will have access to all the drivers of Cluckin’ Bell along with supervisors; Nino will be paying them. Invoices to be provided by BBC to Sahara and paperwork to be kept up-to-date.

Checks courthouse and PD for Jerry. Nino convinces Clarence some guy down by the beach and gym buys cop IDs for 10k each.

**Saab’s Revenge:**

TL;DR: Saab’s car is stolen and Nino, Saab, and JJ devise a plan to catch the perpetrators.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Saab calls, someone steals his car. Nino spots it and gives chase, but loses them. Saab is picked up and he is tracking. Coke. They steal a car and hide the S15. Saab sets up a meeting. Two women are at the location, Saab asks where the car is. So are they gonna ERP? Three cop cars roll up. They got the call about the car Nino and Saab just took. Nino is questioned. Are the women prostitutes? Nah, business, but unknown thus far.

Now the women are questioned some more with Nino and Saab. Cops eventually leave, and they all drop the charade. Where’s the car?! Saab had invited them to the racetrack earlier, where his car was stolen. The pairs split in disagreement.

Saab needs to trademark BBC. Women names: Carmela, Jupiter, Hannah. They run into JJ, who will call them to meet up to lure them into a trap. More coke. Plan: Nino and Saab will hide on the yacht while JJ lures them there under the idea of hanging out. They scope out the yacht and get ready.

JJ and one woman are suddenly heard. Nino waits after hearing the code word to move and JJ walks the target right to them. She’s tazed and handcuffed. This one is Hannah. They attempt to get the numbers of the other women to get them as well. Nino, Saab, and JJ discuss what to do, as Hannah seems to be the only one in the city they can get right now [sounds like one logged off].

Hannah says her sister, Carmela, was the one lockpicking. Nino tells her to fix the situation, and to make Carmela apologize to Saab. She hands over her contact information for follow-up.

Crash, Saab is flown out – Nino carries him into Pillbox, which is thankfully nearby. While Nino waits for Saab to get treatment, he chats to Herbert. Saab and Nino head to the Tuner Shop for the S15 service. Saab updates Eddie on the BBC business. Eddie has some good news as well to share: BBC library has sponsors for some exporting parts. Good for PR. Logos for Sahara trucks? Easy, says Eddie.

Zee calls, city fair is in 2 ½ weeks – 25th 5pm EST. She wants to know if Sahara wants a booth and/or wants to sponsor the event. Yes, and consider 10k. Good opportunity for mascots.

Back to Tuner Shop. Annabelle. Erin explains her bar license story. Ian wants to talk about an escape room idea. At a bank, Nino transfers 10k to Zee’s account. Saab says Nino doesn’t owe him anything for the S15 repair; he’s done a lot for him today.

**Knowledge to JJ:**

TL;DR: Nino updates JJ on a few details of his current operations and what to somewhat expect in the future.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

A plan is coming along, JJ has a lot of spare room. Hardware may have no identifiers and may be imported in parts; or in full form initially. Nino is careful with what he introduces to Los Santos and the quantity. Crash. Fix.

Does JJ need contacts for materials? We’re sitting pretty, he replies. The other international contacts will probably request materials exported out of LS – Nino will push the best of these contracts to JJ. Things are still falling into place. Sounds like Payne’s ownerless houses will be ready for these import drops? JJ’s key ring is full but these new imports don’t need that kind of key.

Nino has an operation that is already running – but no one knows how it’s run. So, even in the chance that Nino goes to prison for a while, the op can continue. When the police catch wind of this activity, Nino plans to misdirect them in this manner.

Nino pays JJ 35k for past contracts. More talk, they’re on the same page.

Chang’s new car is revealed to Nino – a Beetle(?). Randy.

Nino answers the phone: it’s Bucky. Prune gang now? “The winds have changed,” Bucky quotes from somebody. Nino joins Chang and Randy on their common errands of the shop and ammunition store. Nino keeps running into Chang’s car with the Rocket Bunny.

**Six Seize and Points Winner:**

TL;DR: Nino partakes in another Chang Gang Olympics event, the last one held that determines CG’s second-in-command.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Sun Moon. An odd parade of trucks. CG Olympics! Like 10 people show. Rules announced by Chang: in the warehouse, 4 v 4 with guns. Nino, Gomer, and Chang will play hostages (essentially, sitting ducks). Same premise as last event. Teams are decided.

The three fake hostages ready in position with zip ties and await the action. Numerous gunshots are heard. Hostages re-position then run off with the winning team: Ramee, Boe, Karen, Mario. All four emerged unscathed. Suddenly Chang falls to the ground and Karen is handcuffed by a policeman. Then uncuffed. Wrong weapon used? Disqualification?

Nino and Gomer stock up on chest armors and ammo for the contestants. Ready in position; next Six Seize starts. Gunshots. A heli flies into the warehouse. Winners: same as first round.

Review. General CG banter. Chang announces points. More banter. Ramee is leading in points, with Randy and Mario close behind. Points are so close, need a tiebreaker for Ramee and Randy.

Back to the warehouse, a 1 v 1 is created. 1-0 Randy. 2-0 Randy. They all head to the Dojo, and Karen tells of the earlier day events while on the car ride. In the Dojo, the new second-in-command of CG is appointed: Ramee! Much pomp and circumstance. Those in attendance are given titles and recognized. A gun is pulled and all make a quick exit. The next CG Olympics will be held in 3 months.

**Executive Summary: Nino enlists the help of a paranormal expert. He continues hunting locations of material in the city while considering futures investing. Jerry goes to prison, the Black Betty's test results, CG Olympics.**

Coke in Pillbox lobby. Chats with Williams in Benny’s. Nino calls Milton, wants a stash house in Mirror Park. A man named Willis is down at Benny’s, EMTs on their way, Nino calls 911 to make sure.

**Bryce’s Coke Demon:**

TL;DR: Nino meets a man named Bryce and pressures him into cutting a line of coke. Nino then has to enlist a paranormal expert to fix his addiction.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

A dude on a bicycle names Bryce talks with Nino. Some second dude steals the bike. Nino gathers the three and shows the blood on the back of the S15. Then asks Bryce where he got the bike. Stole it. Alright, second dude can continue on his way, on the bike. Bryce joins Nino in the S15. Nino offers coke, Bryce cuts it with his dad’s credit card then tries to smoke it. Then snorts it.

At Harmony, Nino learns Red was demoted by Sun Moon then quit from FastLane; Jordan Walker was promoted there. Money had gone missing and Sun Moon wanted to investigate. Red seems good with numbers – Nino suggests for him to speak with Pinto and Edward.

Bryce isn’t doing well, he’s going slightly crazy and challenges Nino about the coke. A Dan Sparks shows, he has a business idea regarding tattoos. [Requires server modification, might take a while for implementation.]

Nino calls a paranormal number listed in the yellow pages. No answer. No-one at Pillbox, either. Bryce works on fixing his addiction, first by acknowledging it: via tweeting “I enjoy drugs”. Upon criticism from Nino, he tweets again, “Nino did not give me drugs”. Nino meets up with the paranormal contact: he asks for help with Bryce. Well they know each other. Discussion of his addiction to cocaine. Nino bribes Katherine /Kat to go on another date with Bryce with 2k. Now how to get the coke demon out of Bryce. To the lighthouse. ERP talk. A demon voice is heard.

Kat arrives, her plan is to mix holy water and cocaine. Annabelle calls, she asks if Nino gave Bryce cocaine. Some back and forth then Nino hangs up. Uh. Kat asks if Nino did the same coke. Time for Bryce’s demon extraction. He snorts the holy water and coke. Nino shorts the same stuff off her chest. Annabelle, Edward, (?), and (?) arrive. ERP talk. Pays Kat 1k for services, who hands back the remainder of the holy cocaine. Number exchange.

In a private meeting, Edward brings up the matter of doing extra work beyond just driving trucks and no compensation. Good thing to bring up at next formal meeting. Talk of employees and pay. Edward instructed to reach out to Red and size him up. Ranks discussed. Edward’s doing well at Cluckin’ Bell.

Bryce brags about all the women in his life. Talk on cigarette-flavored vape juice.

**Eugene’s Inventory:**

TL;DR: Nino inquires of Eugene’s inventory regarding materials. Both Nino and Eugene join a mini race for 20k, offered by Life Invader’s Sayeed.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino picks up Eugene off the road. Apparently LB vs Cops this round = Cops. Nino wants Eugene to get some prices for some stuff. He gets an idea of Eugene’s inventory.

From Eugene listening to the radio: first to Life Invader gets 2k. The race begins. Arrive, 10 people already there. Wait, looks like there’s another chance. Nino and Eugene await the radio signal. Nino wants to win legit; Eugene wants to rig it. Eugene admits Bovice lives in his house and Bovice tortured Angel. Tequi-la-la is the new location. Too late again, even a few seconds after the location announcement.

Nino offers 10k to Sayeed if the next time he holds a similar event it takes at least 5 minutes for the winner to show; Sahara will sponsor. Edward. Fiona. Nino gives 10k to Sayeed for the next event. Then an additional 10k.

Back in the S15 with Eugene. Nino requests 100 of everything regarding materials.

Milton texts, will meet in Mirror Park. They look at houses. Super fast house sale, bank bound.

Call from Clarkson, he says there were reports of money laundering and harassment at Sahara. Nino is requested to go to the PD for investigation.

For Milton, 10k closing cost. Confirms purchase.

Shows to Sahara, no Clarkson: he says 10 minutes. Meets with CG (Vinny, Randy, Mario). Talk on Conan, etc. Nino inquires about materials; they’re low at the moment but say they can get 100 of each. CG has a barbershop in the works, across from the chicken factory; they’re working with GSF. More talk.

**LB These Days:**

TL;DR: Nino speaks to Curtis, who desperately needs money and hardware for the LB.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino calls Curtis back. Curtis tells of a mission the LB did: transportation guards for a CIA agent. Seems they did well. Curtis wants some hardware. Nino’s working on it; processes just have to be re-planned. But soon. [Mehdi is disconnected. They re-meet.] Futures investing, materials. Curtis markets the LB. Nino informs Curtis about Buddha’s actions following the weed drop – he remarks on his differing expectations. They discuss Buddha and a potential POC for Nino for the LB. Also how Nino operates.

Talk on the chicken factory runs for extra money for Curtis/LB if he is interested. Nino hands over 70k for the house Curtis bought weeks ago for quiet hardware drops. Nino gives contact information for Cluckin’ Bell work. Curtis is dropped off on Lean Street.

Other LB show. They say Jerry is on the run. Nino promptly calls Jerry, “what the fuck?!” He tells him to wait and that they will talk. Denzel is interested in investments.

**Jerry on the Run?:**

TL;DR: Nino learns Jerry is on the run and seeks to find out why. Nino helps Jerry.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

A blacked-out Jerry is picked up. He explains that he was towing with Kayden and Kayden caught Jordan with another woman; Jordan started hitting Kayden and Jerry tackled him; Jordan arrested him and was told he would get a warrant unless he brings in some woman. So now he’s on the run. Something like that. The other woman apparently Jen. Nino gives a spare set of keys to some remote house (Procoplo Drive 22) to Jerry. It’s for a worse-case scenario.

Jerry won a court case this morning. It was by default as no one else showed up, besides his client. Planning on doing anything to Jordan in retaliation? He’s tried, not to much avail. Talk on Mirror Park predator. Frame Jordan?

Jerry asks if Nino has experience with kidnapping/killing/etc. Nah. Not my gig. Talk on semen samples. Drives by Pillbox, sees cop. Garage Q, says the name Jerry. Speeds off, doesn’t know if some people heard. Nino calls Annabelle, asks if she can meet at PDM. Jerry practices an accent with his new identity Mr. Wang. Nino advocates for a job at PDM for “Mr. Wang”. He gets an assistant/intern job.

Jerry admits he’s Jerry [right before the server restart].

**Hardware Dump:**

TL;DR: Roughly 100k in hardware is transferred from Sonya to a masked Curtis, who dumps the merch.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Sonya calls, she has the hardware ready (cleaning the city of guns). Nino calls Curtis, tells him to meet. Curtis shows, Nino tells him to be the anonymous receiver of a drop then take the hardware and dump them. Curtis changes and finds a vehicle, calls Nino to say he’s ready, and gives his ping and a radio station.

Nino calls Sonya and informs how it’s going to go down. Radio checks with Curtis.
A masked Curtis arrives to the location. He’s told the givers are Sonya and Gomer. He is to review the hardware, note the details, then quickly and quietly dump. Nino will be overwatch. Nino briefs Sonya on the phone and pings the location, then drives a short distance away.

Ramee wants to hang out.

Nino races to Curtis’ location, where he’s about to dump the merch. Little too far off the edge, stops to repair.

Curtis shows a picture he took before he got rid of the guns; there’s 11 – depending on perspective, this is either about 100k or less than 100k. Talk on the guns and market value / value as perceived by Sonya. Her test.

Talk on material and values. Ballas and LB relationship. Curtis is paid 13k.

**Black Betty Specialty:**

TL;DR: Nino, Sonya, and Gomer review the hardware and discuss future contracts.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino discusses with Sonya and Gomer. Some talk on Bahama Mamas, Florida, cougars. All three smoke. On to business, Sonya says her and Gomer’s contacts had given the price points. They market themselves and their business way up. Talk on Tinker. This particular drop was in the turntable specified and picked off the streets rather than acquired with pixerium.

Nino asks their current specialty. They want to get into cocaine. Nino repeats current. Bunch of little things. Basically, a massive pawnshop with a little extra.

Nino hands over 120k. If their business changes angles, they are to update Nino.

Sonya tells of a botched contract at the VU due to incorrect information.

**A Chang Mission: CG Olympics**

TL;DR: Nino, Pablo, and Dumbass take part in a Chang devised transportation and recovery mission involving mostly CG members.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Ramee invites Nino to Chang Gang’s gambling scheme or whatever. Pablo is called Milo again and lands a heli to join. Ramee wants to roll. 40k winnings to Nino.

Chang announces a transportation and recovery mission: two teams, one’s goal to safety and successfully transport Chang somewhere and the other to grab Chang. Nino and Pablo are the wild cards – create roadblocks, etc. Random team matchups: Team A: Vinny and Ramee. Team B: Uchiha and Randy. Team C: Mario and Big D. Three rounds. Nah, team change to 3 people. Vinny, Ramee, Uchiha. Then Randy, Mario, Gomer.

Nino joins Pablo in the heli to set up their part of the mission. Bank truck? Sand King with tazers? Small talk. Pablo seems interested in obtaining a job at Cluckin’ Bell; he’s waiting for Allen to speak with him. Dumbass (the mime, it’s his name) shows to help with the obstruction.

Now in the Sand King, Allen calls. Jerry calls, he just got out of prison: he was found guilty on all charges. So he was baited by Bambi being in the ICU and Dr. Martel working with the cops. He’s picked up at the prison and briefed on the CG Olympics. All now armed with tazers. Milo – ahem, Pablo – will be receiving the pings from Chang.

The chaos begins. Car pileups, multiple tazzes, an explosion, crashes. They trade the Sand King out for the S15. Round 1 over, wild cards defeated both teams. Everyone groups back together and Chang gives the evaluation and dolls out points.

The chaos begins again, but not until after CG members happily argue per usual for a few minutes. Gomer moves from the eval team to the wild card team. Nino preps with coke. [A lot of player games crash before the winner is determined.]

**Executive Summary: Speedy and Nino devise a plan regarding oxy and pix. Nino, Ramee, and Vinny gamble. A Jerry adventure.**

Normal routine of coke in the morning. Short chat with OTT. Sees an ad by Bubby Au'bear about materials and pixerium, calls. Bubby arrives with the sample of his products: glass, scrap metal, steel, electronics, rubber, aluminum, copper, plastic. The dude gets a mission for a potential deal: get counts of his materials and determine the lowest price he is willing to sell in bulk to Nino.

Poison’s old house is empty and available for storage capability. So is Sahara, mostly empty, as the materials are not illegal. Withdraws 130k. Sneakily listens in on some EMTs talking outside the bank. Not sneaky enough. Pays off car payments. Mya is training to be an EMT. Nino inquiries about open properties with large basements on the south side. He receives a text with the info earlier requested from Bubby. Pays off his office. Deposits 50k. Phone call with Speedy, will meet.

**Speedy’s Updates:**

TL;DR: Hardware and importing, pixerium, Grandpa’s, oxy, Speedy’s future discussed. A profitable plan?

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Picks up Speedy and drives to a remote location. Vinny calls. Talk with Speedy on stones in peanuts leading to chipped teeth. Hardware is coming back, but the importing process will need to be planned, explains Nino. Speedy is to provide Nino a specific request list. Speedy has his business with guns figured out. Pixerium discussed. C4 at chop shop? Another location, under-the-radar, does the same as Grandma’s: called Grandpa’s. Oxy is the biggest producer of pix. The Wizard is not pushing as many guns as before, thus allowing more imports in other manners that retain the balance.

Speedy is looking to peacefully exit the full-time Vagos life and look for other opportunities in Los Santos. Maybe smuggling. Nino put in an order for 100 oxy from Speedy and pays 100k to Speedy for a past completed contract. More money comes from house robberies than bank jobs. Nino has an idea: Speedy as manufacturer of oxy, then Nino pushes it to distributor. Rotations, timer, power, market control of pix, etc. This plan is sounding profitable.

**A Gambling Scam:**

TL;DR: Nino, Ramee, and Vinny conspire to make money via a gambling scam.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Ramee and Nino meet up and briefly talk to Tupac, who wants Kiki’s number. Ramee asks Nino if he wants to play dice; he wants money for a new car. 5k first roll, 3 6. Ramee wins. Double or nothing. Ramee wins. Double or nothing. Nino wins. 5k roll, tie. 5k roll, tie again. Roll, Nino wins. Double or nothing. [Okay I’m watching at 2x speed and am now lost, not going back] Talk on a 50k roll. Commence a 20k roll, now a lot of people are watching. Ramee wins. Double or nothing. Nino wins, even. 25k roll? I’ll just give you 5k, says Nino. He hands over 5k.

On the side, Ramee, Nino, and Vinny conspire to make money by saying they’re doing ridiculous deals, like 50k or whatever, then in actuality only paying each other like a dollar. So, multiple people are in a gamble and if any one of these three win, it works as they say they split the winnings. The odds are in their favor. Need an outside party to join who has a nice bankroll to target. Talk on Teslas [and TwitchCon]. CG’s house. Discussion on how much money Nino has.

Tesla auto-pilot still needs some tuning. Sun Moon joins. Ramee and Nino roll for 1k: Nino wins. Up it, 10k? Sun Moon want to roll big? No, he’s planning another Million Dollar Race. Sun Moon challenges Ramee to a 100k roll. 3 way roll, including Nino. 3 6 100k: Ramee wins. Off to the bank. A masked man holding a gun politely informs them the bank is closed. That’s alright, ATMs are open. Nino quietly pays just $1 while Sun Moon transfers over 100k (remember, scam).

At a different bank, Ramee transfers the winnings to Nino and Vinny (33k each). We need a new target now, this is going well. Randy joins the trio. Back and forth funny banter for a good few minutes.

Ramee inquires about obtaining heavy ammo. Nino says that line is pretty much dead. CG informed of new importing challenges.

They arrive to the courthouse to search for judges. LaBarre is called and arrives with a bat, which he says is his gavel. He had just added a public indecency charge; Nino asks if he can still ERP in bushes. LaBarre says Thalia got pregnant a while ago. Talk on Lequisha. Coop’s mom was in the city recently. Ramee brings up a 100k roll. Baiting LaBarre. Doesn’t work, but Summer and two other guys join, one Tupac. Now it’s a 5k roll. 6 people, 5k, with onlookers. Vinny wins. Ramee, Nino, and Randy transfer over only $1.

Nino and Ramee target LaBarre again, who keeps referencing his ethics and refusing to gamble.

Curtis is low on money, not a good target. Nino calls a Victoria, on the yellow pages as working for Harmony. Maybe cops will gamble.

Casino parking lot. They try to entice Victoria / Vivi, Denzel, and some other people into large bets. [Mehdi has to reconnect.]

Meets back up with CG. Try to gamble with Officer Baas. He bites, 5k roll. Randy wins and Baas quickly drives away, stating police call. A few minutes later, they’re pulled over and blame the “auto-pilot”. No ticket, yet they can’t drive the truck anymore to keep with the story.

New car, picks up Mario. Nino and Ramee do coke. Talk on guns. Talk on scamming. Nino learns that CG has multiple IDs. Ramee admits to embezzling money from LifeInvader. Picks up Uchiha. Randy says he has a lot of oxy. Talk on gold bars. General chat. A send, a [server restart].

**A Jerry Adventure:**

TL;DR: Nino and Jerry share an EMS ride, Jerry unknowingly does coke, and the two try to find Nettie and Kayden.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Coke. Jerry is at the courthouse. Nino meets Nora’s son. Zee calls, she now offers takeout. Her business is growing. Nora’s funeral is probably Sunday. Jerry says there was an altercation he had with Sonya: he was with Karen, who grazed Sonya’s ranger, who wanted $500 in damage costs. With Sonya were Gomer, Murphy, and Boe. Sonya shot Jerry, who had pulled a pistol, then later robbed Jerry of 2k. Jerry wants info on Sonya, Nino directs him to the yellow pages and twitter. Crashes, Gunn fixes the S15.

Nino confronts Jerry about his sexual life. More talk about putting animatronics in Nora’s dead body for presentation at her funeral. Sees a police cruiser possibly heading to Cluckin’ Bell, races after and crashes. Jerry informs Kayden of the crash and they wait for EMS. On the way to Pillbox, a crashed S15 and a downed Jerry is seen. Jerry now joins Nino in the back of the busted EMS truck.

Pillbox. New doctor, Dr. Shaw. He does a thorough check and releases Nino. Nettie calls, she has a bone to pick with Nino. Links back with Jerry. So turns out Nettie ran into Kayden who told her Nino and Jerry ditched her. Nino does coke on a cop car. Nino gives a bag to Jerry, who thinks the white powder is something like a G-fuel; he sniffs some and is impressed with the effects.

Nino and Jerry take a cab ride from Chang and Uchiha. Heli spotted, it’s Mia and Jordan. Jerry says they have full rooftop access and is visibly affected by the coke. On the phone, Nettie says she needs more friends and gives her location with Kayden to Nino. Nettie then states Kayden killed Nora. What. At this point, multiple authorities are on the scene. Somehow, there’s a dead body on the ground.

Uchiha says he’s just the fall guy but has the capability to do more. He’s ready for the competition with Ramee for a manager position for Nino. Pillbox for Uchiha and picks up Jerry. Gets back the S15, Jerry starts speeding off in the taxi, Nino wonders why, he has a waiting client at the PD. They split, Nino heads to Parsons, crashes, repairs, crashes, repairs.

Detective Hall is at Parsons waiting for Dr. Cross. Nino questions if she is really “off-duty”. No Nettie or Kayden, though.

Receives a call about a survey with a reward of a free cruise. Oh yay! Absolutely free! Nino plays along but gives a fake name. He also drops Ramee’s full real name. While on hold, Nino reads some odd notes on the ground. The totally legit cruise company is back from the hold, Nino provides his fake identity’s name and address along with some other answers to questions. He transfers $300 for the trip to Florida – it includes the ticket for both himself and Ramee. Nino happily tells a skeptical Jerry about his upcoming trip.

Nino and Jerry are now at Bahama Mamas. So did Bovice kill Nora or was it actually Kayden? Apparently Kayden was 51-50 after Nora’s death. Nino calls Nettie again, they’re being chased by cops and Kayden’s drunk. They race to the location and find Kayden being restrained and someone else also in cuffs with several officers looking on. Nettie is also drunk. Nino intervenes. Jerry is set up by both Nettie and Kayden. He might be called in for questioning later. Nino drops him off at Pillbox.

Runs into Kayden on the road, enrages her by asking for her help for putting an animatronic in Nora. Bumper cars of the S15 vs her tow truck, her security work debated. Talk of Jerry and whether or not he is a Mirror Park predator. She shares pictures – Nino calls Jerry to ask the origin of the photographs.

### **Episode 97 [Oct 2, 2019]**

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/491201600

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/491201809

**Executive Summary: There are harsher restrictions on border security; importing will require more planning. Arthur’s Ops. A talk with Sonya. Payne has a proposal. A goal for Jerry.**

After his cocaine ritual, Nino gives Annabelle a lift to the tuner shop. Outside of Pillbox, quick line on hood of S15. Inside, chats with Taj, some dude who’s an actor/negotiator/bum then marks his number in his phone with a label of “dead guy”. Breezy joins. An EMT pulls him aside [and informs Mehdi he’s double mic’d or something]. Sees Ducky.

The S15 is now on Kayden’s tow truck. Nino jumps into the passenger seat and confronts her. A KKona guy, Jim Jolly / nickname Jimbo, wants money from her. [Scuff happens with Kayden and KKona.] Back at Pillbox, chats with Brett and Taj, who’s changed his clothes. Calls Ducky to the medical ward [to fix the scuff]. Leon joins. [Scuff somehow fixed.]

Edward is seen walking by; he is called over to give Taj busy work and Jimbo a good chance at a job should he be interested.

Nino picks up his car from the impound lot and briefly sees Jerry and Kayden.

Asks an officer standing in the middle of the road if she is alright and Taj suddenly shows. Nino throws $5 at him and runs into Integrity for oxy. Plans to meet with Speedy.

Jimbo is at Cluckin’ Bell and informs Nino of his job training thus far. He’s to acquire a chicken outfit and show to Edward: Nino pays 2k to cover the suit costs.

JJ has numbers, will meet. Skyline, new clothes. Garage Q, picks up Saab.

Still awaiting international contracts to come from (mainly) Germany for the BBC. Need stats on weekly shipments: items and quantity. Closes deal, then immediately crashes and is flown from the Skyline. EMS. Pillbox with Ducky, who is not too happy with Nino [because apparently Mehdi didn’t meet up with T3r0 at the recent TwitchCon – all in fun though, to be clear]. Nino gets an EMT’s number.

Outside, sees Milton. Saab shows, his car was stolen, but he got it back. Tim walks by on the phone. [Some RP fun with a ‘filming sequence’ with 80b.] Nino plans to meet up with Saab later to iron out more details for the BBC business.

Inside Benny’s, a masked Tony is heard and seen in handcuffs with another man. Saab quickly jumps out and pulls a gun. A police car rams into the Skyline on the side and the lights are turned on. Turns out it’s Kiki, who gives a willing Nino a pat down for security purposes. ERP stuff.

Arturo, Vagos, requests a private meeting; he’s got 50 unique ID cards. Saab and Tony reenter the scene. Tony tells of part of his crazy day.

In the barrio, the Vagos (Arturo and Mike) offer Nino a Corona. In the trunk of a nearby car is a variety of IDs. Nino is interested in the collection. Arturo runs to get a special ID – it’s a blank one, completely free of any identifiers. Nino is given it to use how he sees fit. Nino stores it and some tools to make drugs in his apartment.

**JJ and Importing:**

TL;DR: JJ informs Nino of some hardware requests. Importing will now require more planning, time, and effort.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino meets up with JJ. Talk on his Skyline. JJ has put a list together. Arthur contacted Jordan: he wants some big stuff and said if Jordan can’t provide, he can still get it – he wants 7 AKs, tall order. Importing will take more effort – the heist group has a task. JJ gives Nino a list: 25 Tec-9, 15 scorpions, 2 Draco, 2 combat PDW, 10 AK, 3 bullpup, 2 G36. Turnaround? Week or two. Nino needs to ready his side. JJ is going to start stockpiling a bit of aluminum, scrap, etc. for a future order request.

Ghost seems to be JJ’s only problem interest at the moment. The bikers are able to be distributors. Nino just needs a general overview of the market, not the particulars. Excitement coming with the border restrictions and Nino’s new outlook.

Arthur texts, he’s back in the city. So is Ramee. [Mehdi sends it and server restarts.]

Coke in Integrity. S15 painted frost white with pearlescent.

**Arthur’s Briefing:**

TL;DR: Arthur explains the current state of the VU and Nino gives suggestions for how to run operations. Other topics of conversation include Sonya, Gomer, and Bovice.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino meets with Arthur at a cult location, The Epsilon Program. Only there as a private meeting place. Topic of the Wizard. Arthur says Otto is now involved in the VU and is the “force of nature that comes in and knocks everything around and then you have to pick up everything after it leaves”. Arthur sees two available options: wrangle him or cut him out of the VU venture. Otto had brought in Joe Caine and focus for either was impossible according to Arthur. He gives examples. [Mehdi’s net dies.]

Otto wants to run nameless operations; Arthur sees the VU building as worthless in that case. The music at The Epsilon Program is too annoying so the location is changed.

Arthur is concerned about cleaning up anything that goes wrong – with unknown and mysterious ops, how can the situation be solved? What’s the problem, though, says Nino. Well, it just takes one idiot to fuck it up. Control cannot be maintained.

The levels “have not moved that far along” and Arthur says he’ll have to do it himself.

Nino currently sees the VU as an option, a lot has changed in his world. There are many obstacles, but both Nino and Arthur have tools on hand that can be used to propel forward their interests. This is just one challenge, and a fun one, according to Nino. Next step: communicate with Otto.

Arthur says he’s thinking of re-drowning someone. Sonya. Nino questions why, as per Arthur’s original stance on her. Debts were fully paid, I work in checks and balances, replies Arthur. It’s just obnoxious, claims Arthur. Regression after regression after regression. Arthur likens Sonya to a Tamagotchi. Gomer was too affiliated with Sonya to be reliable for Arthur and the VU.

There are not many people in LS who can fill the impersonal role Arthur wants to fill, apparently. Arthur puts in some good words for Eugene, ironically but with validity – but he cannot fill the role. Nino says Arthur needs to be more cut-throat in his operations; he gives the example of his own. Tie them down to the ops at hand, base promotions on delivery of ops.

Yet the building is in Arthur’s name; he needs to stay clean or transfer the formal ownership of the VU. Falls are to be expected and should be answered in kind. Just be prepared.

Any interest in #boviceworld? Nah, replies Nino. Arthur thinks Bovice is getting in the way: bad craftmanship. Initiating action against Bovice is a huge risk, says Nino. Arthur: no one knows my business, and that’s best. As such, people are unaware when they interfere with his business, yet Arthur states he holds no related grudges. He just wanted Nino’s opinion on Bovice.

Your plans for the VU? And current stage? It’s just a shell, a minting process is still needed and so are resources. Regarding coins, Arthur ensures they will exist. These coins would expire every 4 weeks. Nino offers his services to fast-forward a plan that leads to the opening of the VU.

They both agree patience is needed at this point. Construction takes time.

Back in the car, Nino inquires Sonya’s recent activities. She’s attempting to start a “business,” which is back to the same old shit, a gang-like group. Gomer has been funding. Possibly wants to get into cocaine distributing. Apparently holds no further interest in Nino.

Time to party with Ramee! ERP talk on non-ERP. Nino chats with Fake Batman at Garage Q while waiting for pick up.

Nino joins Ramee, Randy, Gomer, Karen, and Uchiha. [RP talk on TwitchCon.] Ramee drives into an active police situation. Nino does coke. Accident. Back in car. Ramee sends it next, Gomer’s really hurt. So is Uchiha. A local noticed following is shot. Uchiha’s battery is low, uh oh. Power plant has power, they head there. They experiment with the transformers. A horn is heard in the near distance, but no one else seems to be around…

Transformers didn’t work, new destination Pillbox. Nino and Ramee “discreetly” sniff in view of Soze in the lobby. Random talk.

Ramee vs Uchiha for manager position for Sahara. Almost a hand fight VU parking lot. The Apprentice: LS Edition.

A 4158058436 number texts, wants to speak. Karen says it’s a Carlos, but she’s looking at the wrong number. Nino calls it – Sonya answers. They will meet.

Chaos as expected with CG and associates. Crashes, fixes, crashes, Uchiha nearly dies again, crashes, Tony Hawk move, disappointing ramp, little more exciting ramp, ramp #3, Karen keeps getting thrown out, etc. Pillbox for Uchi. Someone named Cassie has a boyfriend.

Randy wants his first project as a supervisor. Will do, later. More chaos, Gomer wants aluminum, then Integrity. Chats with a Strawberry, gets her number, saves as “WomanWithDick”. ERP talk.

Plans to meet Sonya. Pulled over by Soze and (?). Speeding and failure to obey tickets, $350.

**Sonya’s Attempt at Communication:**

TL;DR: Nino and Sonya talk about the past and future. Sonya receives her first test.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Picks up Sonya. She says it’s been a long recovery. Sometimes one is not left with many choices, Nino says. He presents himself as willing to communicate.

Sonya begins: Arthur told her he saved her and Nino wanted her dead; he also apparently told Sonya not to talk to Nino. She has since left the VU and Arthur “even though I’m thankful for what he did for me, it’s not going to be held over me for my entire life”. So she would rather be dead than work under Arthur. She doesn’t see eye-to-eye with Arthur, who ‘stabbed a random cop’ and ruined a plan of hers that involved David. They drive along the ocean and Sonya stares nervously out the window at the waves. Relax, says Nino. They get out to talk further.

She claims she doesn’t know Nino’s actual involvement in her drowning, just that CG picked her up for it. “I had someone drown your ass,” Nino smokes a cigarette.

Why? Cause business was disrupted, a waste of time. Murphy. Sonya returns, Arthur said Nino’s name – enter her fixation on Nino.

I don’t take well to threats, nor do I threaten people often. My biggest adversary are the authorities: detectives and feds. They pry too much. So, when other people meddle in my business, especially when it benefits them, it gets extremely frustrating – nothing of any severity would have likely happened to that friend of yours had meddling not transpired. Murphy put ideas in your head and using Coop in that manner was not the correct way to get my attention.

Sonya interjects, in my mentality at the time, if it had not been Murphy, it would have been someone else. Would you have hurt Murphy, asks Nino. Possibly.

Do you think he knew that, or was he obsessed with you? “Enough so to go and throw any kind of fucking effort that I threw behind him to not only give out my fucking name but to start talking like a fucking dog who just had his dick stroked. Cause that what he did. You know what I did, Sonya, you know what I did? I saw two rapid dogs about to kill each other, and I put one of them in a fucking cage, so that cooler heads could prevail the next day or maybe the week after so that finally we could figure out what the fuck is going on. But instead, the dog starts barking and says too much. And probably enough, to set your eyes straight on Coop.”

Sonya wants to clarify some things. One, her and Murphy have a long business relationship. Sonya thinks he’s “loyal to a T” to her. Nino remarks Murphy knew what he was doing, and knew he was putting Sonya’s life in danger.

You got ahead of yourself, what makes you think I would bend over for Coop? Well, I tried other things before Coop. Have you considered I might not have wanted to talk at the time? One of my fucking workers was missing, and l knew was some random dude had my worker – I wasn’t going to stop until I had an answer.

It’s strange and curious that no one stopped you, says Nino. Like, that’s a bad idea, probably shouldn’t do that. Yeah, Arthur didn’t, replies Sonya. Nino: Murphy could have, yet he didn’t – he has his own agenda. But Murphy knows me so well, says Sonya.

“Look, in that fucking moment, every signal that you were giving off, was that you were going to stop at nothing and that you were completely irrational in that time period. There was no rationality; how the fuck do you talk to someone who is irrational?”

“How rational would you be if someone picked up one of your guys…”

“You mean picked up Coop and put a bullet in his chest? I would have listened to him die and then found out who did it.

Well you and I are different, then. I understand you more now, she thinks. I guess I was convinced that whatever I would do so would you.

I hold no grudges, I had what I needed. Neither do I, says Sonya, at the end of the day, I respect the threat and how it was responded to; I just want to give my perspective.

Who are you trying to be in life, Sonya? What is it that you want?
I’m building a family business. I want to spread happiness. My bad reputation comes from when people knock on my door and I respond in my way. My choices were working well until I ran into you. I flew too close to the sun. I’ve learned my lesson, and I no longer am hunting you.

It’s crazy how the world works. I keep my name under wraps mostly, in situation. All it takes is a nudge. And I’m not getting in between you and Arthur, says Nino. Also, a word of advice: figure out your target before attacking it.

If there’s a confrontation, Sonya claims she’ll talk to remediate. She wants to manage the distribution of cocaine. [Uh oh, HOA and Kindle.] Sonya confirms David’s identity – and she says he showed so much loyalty which earned her respect. So you’re not willing to lose ants? I see them not as ants, but as equals. She indicates Arthur also made the same point Nino is now making. But she wants a family business.

Arthur is not happy with me leaving the VU, states Sonya. I do business everywhere in the city, I work for myself. I don’t work on others’ behalf. My operations center on groups working together to make money which lead to Nino making money.

I see a future working with you, we’re both reasonable people, says Sonya.

I’ll keep it in mind, returns Nino. Might be a use of her later. What do you offer? People, information, transportation. Any oxy? About 80. Coke? Dry. Gold bars and VGs? Gomer has those. Spews on about details of her contracts.

Not many people get a second chance. I know, and thank you for not finishing the job. I didn’t make that decision, says Nino, have you seen his face? I know…

Have any hardware? Difficult. Get 100k worth and let me know, Nino gives Sonya a deal. 24h to give Nino a timeframe on the hardware pickup. Got it. She’s instructed on proper phone etiquette.

So what can Sonya do? Can she do this hardware pickup, and to what extent? Her first test has begun. Nino will get intel as well depending on the results.

**Reconnection with Payne:**

TL;DR: Payne’s business is going well. He is working on what he considers an impressive proposal for Nino.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Payne calls, meets at Payne Tower. Zee had called him, Payne says she dropped Nino’s name as part of business. [Coop says something more but then redacts it in RP, I’m going to play along, sorry readers (: It wasn’t too important.] Sahara has been running well enough for Nino to take a vacation. Line of coke, then Payne loudly joins. Milton has been doing good work in Payne’s recent absence as well. Cassie Cupcakes stalks Payne, he ‘wants her dead,’ wink wink. Nino fake calls a hit.

Back to talk on Zee. Nino recommends her restaurant services. Payne gives a few updates on his company changes. He’s expanding the reach of the HOA. HOA is totally legitimate. Jerry has been the lawyer on-point. They arrive to the hotel/resort place by the ocean.

Finally to the real business, the undocumented houses for storage [I think]. Hush hush. 80%, next week or two. Gives Nino enough planning time. 200 on top end, Payne has it covered. Agreement on two previous places.

Payne is still involved in the LB vs Ballas war, somehow. Arthur apparently offered to buy out all the houses on the cal de sac and keep it under control for Payne. Very pushy but logical guy, says Payne. He didn’t accept the deal.

Interested in commodities trading? Nino then uses the example of human trafficking to indicate illegal activity. Commodity is currently unknown, but the money will be good. Payne likes money, but wants more details before fully agreeing.

Payne has a proposal he says will impress Nino. Payne wants a level of privacy, he wants someone to talk to who won’t pass along the information.

Black Betty business up, assisted by Payne, run by Sonya and Gomer. More coke and consequent crash. Payne withdrew his sue action against Jordan Steele, because he thought it would be better for business. He still dislikes the guy though, as well as Brenda.

Now outside Pillbox, a bunch of people surround the car, including Cassie, Jerry, Erin, Lorenzo, etc. Lorenzo starts kicking the car, Nino threatens her with a gun. Chaos continues, Nino and Payne quickly drive off. Annnd pulled over seconds later. Payne grabs a ‘coupon’. The officer just wanted to know if Payne was alright as he was heard screaming. Payne starts ranting about Cassie stalking him and gives Erin’s name. Payne thinks he’s being framed, back to Pillbox they go.

Commotion outside Pillbox again. Arthur tells Payne he will deal with Cassie. On the side, Arthur informs Nino that Cassie and two others brought bats and knives into the VU and mauled someone. Erin and Nino discuss the crazy. Erin has gone kinda emo; her mother came back and left, she lost her license and got hit with an attempted murder charge. Darius Woods, a decorator, shows; he and Erin are married. Some woman also there.

A dude suddenly yells, you guys coming to the orgy? Now Karen and Boe are here. ERP talk. Nino chats to Jerry, who doesn’t want to go to the orgy as he has a girlfriend. Nino and Payne work together to convince Jerry to ask Bambi if he can go to the orgy. Payne is surprised to learn Kindle is one of HOA’s best members. Jerry doesn’t have his role at Sahara yet, he’s not on a payroll. Talk on jizz inside the courthouse. Nino gives Jerry 20k for a paycheck for his services. Talk on orgies. Now to find Bambi. A man shows on a motorbike at the hospital, seeing an opportunity, Nino tells him to call EMS. Some other fellow menacingly limps toward this guy and beats him up. Perfect, now EMS is required.

Only one EMT on duty and it’s not Bambi. Is she cheating?! Is she at the orgy?! Sees Erin on the road, she’s asked for her perspective. It’s determined Bambi may be at the orgy. Jerry gets a text, she’s at Integrity.

Cassie needs a lawyer, to PD. Nino is asked for a witness statement, he quickly says he doesn’t remember the situation. Bambi walks by, Payne tells her not to ruin Jerry’s life. EMS questioned what drugs they can give out. Bambi questioned about Jerry. She’s never slept with anyone. So Jerry… Nino and Payne come up with an elaborate plan to teach Jerry sex ed, which includes negating the present potential 51-50 charge on Cassie. They pull in Pixie, brought in to give Cassie a psychological review, to their plan and try to convince her Cassie is simply just sexually-frustrated. Then try to convince the authorities.

Jerry is confronted by Nino and Payne and brought into the plan. [Ashlynn’s disconnected.]

**Offstream: A Break before Season 2**

*Nino is still in LS, but keeping a low profile [Mehdi doesn't stream Nino for half a month].*

**Executive Summary: Back in Los Santos, a few contacts update Nino on the current state of affairs.**

Nino meets briefly with Bruce after a line of coke in Integrity. Harmony car service for his S15. Pays and talk of women/ERP with (?).

Nino drives into the Cluckin’ Bell property and sees Javier. Discussion on in-eligible employees requesting promotions. Nino inquires about the interviews. Someone interviewed who Javier thinks could possibly be a supplier of cocaine. Nino announces plans to reduce payments regarding Cluckin’ Bell; Javier is to run some numbers to help determine how much to drop. There are just over 60 active drivers at the moment. Focus on pixerium: keep off-the-books on-hand. Market of this tbd to buy efficiently in bulk.

It’s been quiet in the city while Nino’s been out-of-sight. Javier says he has access to the terminal – his moniker? Kohonas. He updates on the vague current state of LS. Chicken factory business talk (Rank 3 ability to hire).

Edward joins the two, leaving behind a weird man [CinnamonToastKen's char] at the entrance to Cluckin’ Bell. He gives updates on managing the factory. Nino reminds of his power in Cluckin’ Bell and says he has permission to suspend workers should he see fit.

The weird man is now invited to the group. Same guy Javier mentioned earlier. He profusely thanks Nino for his investments in the city. He moans repeatedly and continuously drinks multiple cups of coffee. Nervously explains losing his wife over boxes of oxy and being the fall guy, which led to the loss of his corporate job. Talk on his strengths. Dude’s first task: discover what the random’s motives are who just drove threw the parking lot – then tell Edward.

After reading a text from Speedy, Nino excuses himself from the group and calls. [Sayeed offers to give Mehdi a tour of Amsterdam should he go to the next TwitchCon in RP.] Been dry in LS, Nino says things are coming.

Nino calls JJ, who confirms the city is dry. JJ arrives, talk on his new car. JJ informs Ghost, an OG from GSF, has caused him a lot of problems lately. So has McAfee. Nino will set JJ up with more contracts to allocate and tells him to come up with an allusive nickname.

Bruce calls and says Nora was murdered by Bovice. Nino laughs. Additionally, Sonya was part of the snatch crew. Nino wants more information.

**Executive Summary: Nino watches court case proceedings and parties at Bahama Mamas.**

Nino watches a court case regarding Uchiha’s supposed murder charge. [Originally, he was on Kindle – who was thrown out by the judge, so Mehdi switched to Nino to continue observing the case.] Nino and Ramee do drugs during the proceedings. Partying during the recesses. Judge verdict: guilty on all counts, including the one of murder. Next order of duty is to determine charges. A slew of people take turns advocating for Uchiha to not be given the death penalty, including Nino (for a very brief moment). The judges deliberate. Sentenced to 8 – 25 years with eligibility for parole in 3 years; not given the death penalty. No fine. General parole parameters given.

Leaving the court, Nino chats to Breezy for a few minutes about the tarot card reader. Nino calls Pablo Milo again. Then chats with the DA outside and someone else along with Mel. Then talks to Choi. [Mehdi switches from the court server.]

Zee informs Nino her restaurant is in high interest and shows a few of her food options.

Nino calls Siz, got a brick? Call with Vinny, will meet.

After a quick fix at Benny’s, Nino crashes into a pink car. A woman with a French accent steps out and they chat. Beauté? She says her name is Jen and they have met before – mutual friend Jerry at strip club from that one day [Episode 91]. Nino calls Jerry; he’s dating an UwU/AYAYA. Jen says Jerry doesn’t know enough ERP.

Nino meets with Ramee at Garage Q. With him is “V”/Viscily. He’s Ramee’s “ride or die”. To Ramee he’s “gangsta”. Talk on cars. Viscily asks if Nino has problems with the Russians / issues with his export docks. Jen arrives and Nino starts driving.

Cop lights flash from behind and everyone quickly snorts the coke. It’s Bayo. While Nino talks, Ramee continues to aggressively snort drugs in the passenger seat. Ramee thinks it’s too hot and leaves the car. The rest save for Nino follow suit when Bayo says it’s allowed. More questions asked and answered. [As they’re wrapping up, Mehdi is disconnected.]

[Back in the server,] Nino talks briefly to Jerry on the phone. At Garage Q, Nino force requests a ride from a random. His name is Zeke, QF. He’s driving an S15. At the VU, Nino chats with Bayo then calls Ramee to meet. Meets back up with Ramee, Jen, and Viscily. Stops at Integrity for coke. Talk on ending lives and mag dumping.

Bahama Mamas now. This group meets up with Jerry and Bambi, who claim they’re not together. Inside, they cut more lines. Operation Jerry. Ramee, Nino, and Viscily heavily encourage Jerry to join in the coke fun. ERP, drug, etc. talk.

DJing starts up. Party, dance, chat.

Nino dips out briefly to meet with Siz, who gives him a brick of cocaine. Nino says bye to Ramee then pays Siz $9500. Nino, Jen, and Viscily leave Bahama Mamas and Jen refuses to do coke. Jen would rather not be involved in illegal activities but will do her best to look away should anything occur. Talk on killing people. Turns out Jen has issues with a stalker, but refrains from giving a name.

Gym to relieve some stress. Talk on Jerry. Nino remembers the coke and drops it off at Integrity. He explains his employee restructure at Cluckin’ Bell / BBC. Talk on potential car rental service in LS. Talk on cars. Talk on wine, which leads to talk on the winery. Maybe Jen could work at the winery. Jen asks how the visit with the German was. Talk on authorities and records. Nino is dropped off at Integrity for the night and phone numbers are exchanged.

**Offstream: A Deal**

*Click "Expand" link at your own discretion for events that transpired off Mehdi's stream. Please note, Nino is relatively involved/connected.*

Offstream:

Nino lets Buddha know it’s a go. 50 minutes. He repeats the parameters for the weed drop and reminds of the high potential threat of the authorities. [See the beginning of Episode 93 for more details.]

Respective parties involved: Buddha, Curtis, Ellie, JJ (recruited by Curtis). Weed to be delivered, a plan is devised. An old recycling dump truck is loaded with the weed. Buddha and Ellie drive this truck to the drop location while the shooters Curtis discretely follows behind and JJ keeps overwatch.

“Here for lunch,” Buddha cryptically texts Nino upon arrival to a remote location. Suddenly, a diver appears next to the truck. He leaves a note which inquires the whereabouts of the product. In the truck, is the answer. No verbal communication is passed. Through more notes, the LB are instructed to wait at the drop location while the diver unloads. It will take about 5 minutes for the diver to bring the product to his destination. Scouting from the group while the product is inspected and unloaded in parts.

The diver returns from the first unload drop. It turns out the cops were tipped off about his destination location, so precautions had to be taken. More time is needed for transport. The LB are told to stay vigilant. More scouting by the team.

The diver returns again. He informs via note that his team just took out two people who were at his drop location – one of them was on the phone with the police. Luckily, he writes, the police didn’t seem to take this person seriously. 5 more minutes of scouting is requested after the diver leaves with the last transport of weed. Sounds like this narcotics deal will be weekly; the buyer seemed pleased.

After no disturbance for 5 minutes, the LB regroup and the truck is left at the recycling plant.

**Executive Summary: Two people close to Nino have thoughts of retaliation on the same group. Someone makes a large request of Nino to provide some imports for him.**

While waiting at the pier, Nino notices the LB approaching; he wonders why Buddha brought most of the gang with him. On arrival, Nino learns Speedy is in a car nearby waiting. After some awkward silence, as Buddha seems unaware he was to come alone, Nino hands over 40k to Buddha. The LB walk away and Nino stays at the end of the pier, silently smoking a cigarette. He remains for a short while then walks back to his S15. Interesting, Buddha had brought along his boys. And it has branched out from just the LB members.

Allen gives Nino a call. Eugene also calls.

**Allen’s Pet Project:**

TL;DR: Allen informs Nino of what led to his time in the ICU and Nino gives suggestions on retaliation. They discuss business.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

At Sahara, Allen tells Nino of what led to his admittance into the ICU. The Russians had threatened his business of PDM – they wanted 5k/week. Allen refused, and Boris pulled a Tec9 – a nearby customer distracted Allen and Boris shot Allen. Later, as he was heading back to his house near Mirror Park, two Russians unloaded an SMG clip into him. Allen’s pissed and wants to fight back. Nino is alright with this, but requests Allen remain calculated in his decisions and keeps him out of it. It’s hard to do business with a group without any definitive purpose or goal. Allen wants more respect in LS. Nino is curious why the 5k/week. Do they hold anything dear to them? Anything they possess? Allen could investigate and go this route.

Nino wants a business meeting with Javier, Bruce, and Allen regarding the current state of affairs and a BBC focus. Professional deliveries to the docks are next on the docket. A financial cap for exports – concerning number of employees and deliveries possible. It is unknown the exact cap at this time, but it will be in units. Something to consider for future business.

Allen reminds Nino of his helicopter license – and that a building with a private helipad would be highly beneficial for meetings. Maybe in the future.
Nino is interested in a guy who can do projections for expenditures for Sahara so he can better allocate finances. Allen will look into it.

Nino offers some of his resources to Allen should he really need them. Allen is confident in his contacts.

Nino calls Tessa; she indicated earlier she wanted to talk. She wishes to give her set of spare keys back to Nino [server now limits amount of spare keys one can have].

Nino chats with cop Richard Dark at a red light. He pays 2k to “cover all his tickets for the day”.

Back at his office, Nino and Tessa transfer the keys. Nino explains his new satellite phone [scuff] and its benefits. Nino rambles about stuff then asks if she has coke or knows anyone who does. Nope. Talk returns to Nino’s ‘new phone’.

At Pillbox, Nino is super emotional [having fun with a chat comment]. Martell, Uchiha, Clarkson. A random, after observing some interactions in the lobby, exclaims “I thought I had problems, but this is…wow”.

Martell tells Nino Thalia is marrying Jordan Steele. Free! Nino talks to an EMT and gives her his number. Nino goes to talk to the random guy – he wants to schedule an appointment with the psychologist, but his paperwork is lost.

On the phone, Jerry tells Nino of some weird stuff with Clarkson. They agree to meet. Nino crashes, repairs. Raja wants to chat. Negan, sporting Lost MC apparel, stops on seeing Nino. A random stops by as well. Nino calls Jordan Walker for a tow. Negan comes back and he and Nino catch up. Talk on businesses, paperwork, detectives, and cases.

At Harmony, Jordan services the S15. He hands the keys to his Mustang to Nino to drive. Jerry calls, more talk of ERP.

**Raja’s Asks:**

TL;DR: Raja asks of a material drop and an ammo drop of Nino. The first, maybe. The second, no.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Raja arrives to meet with Nino. He joins him in the Mustang and they drive to talk. They start with small talk involving businesses and paperwork. Raja informs there is a publicly accessible workbench available in the southside of LS along with the scrap yard in the north that is messing up his materials business (aluminum, etc.). He wants to know if he can place a bulk order with Nino to simplify his work.

Nino will consider it; the economy of LS is paramount. Raja says some materials are flooding the market, like plastic and rubber, and others are in short supply. It would be an expensive price I offer if I do arrange a deal, says Nino.

Difficulties lie in determining the value of materials. Raja inquires about a specific type of ammunition. Possibly heavy ammo. Nino steps back from that; there is too much risk for him to deal with it at the moment. Talk on too much hardware in the city again, talk on Wizard again.

Seems Raja’s status quo is a slight Déjà vu. Some more small talk.

As they are ending their meeting, they notice a police patrol vehicle passing close by. Headshot, problem solved.

Harmony to pick up his car. Nino pays 3k to Jordan. Nino plans to meet with Erin. Vinny and Nino talk on the phone [about Borderlands]. Back at Harmony to pick up Erin.

Erin asks how many interns she is allowed to have and if she has hiring privileges. 4, and yes. Pulled over by Sheppard. The subsequent weird conversation gets them out of a ticket. Weird conversation continues. Back driving, they continue chatting.

Nino calls Siz. Small talk. Two Russians pass on the sidewalk and criticize Nino’s satellite phone. Now with Nino’s attention, they continue to berate it. A few seconds pass and Boris eventually tells his comrade to “shut up and follow me”. They leave down the sidewalk.

Bruce, Annabelle, Erin, Milton at Pillbox. Annabelle encourages ERP. Boris comes back, his comrade was trying to steal the S15. Nino runs to his car and points a gun at the man’s head. The man quickly exits the vehicle saying it’s a prank then runs off. Nino shoots, the man tries to return fire. Bruce comes as well. Boris' comrade is downed. Nino starts dragging him down the road. Boris shows, “Don’t end his life, da, he’s useful for me”. No problem, just going to the construction site. The man indicates his name is Nikolai.

[Back in the server after restart,] Nino and Annabelle ERP in front of Integrity.

Nino picks up Adrienne to chase after her stolen purple car. He does coke in the car while driving. At the courthouse, Nino questions Clarkson and Norm’s fascination with his ERP session earlier.

**Green’s Updates:**

TL;DR: Dexx and another member let Nino know they have resources and are ready should any opportunity come their way.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino and Green hook up. It’s Dexx and Randy(?). They discuss the calm before the storm and the barbershop. He has an order in to Eddie for a custom van. Dexx wants to know manufacturers for steel. Green is sitting on a lot of money and want a smart way to make it work.

Dexx tells of the profitability of breaking into cars and the respective gloveboxes – where people in LS are storing some valuables. Green may start up something like a ‘Uber Streats’. Payne apparently was talking earlier about warehouses.

So Green’s doing well, they have money and people. They’re ready should any opportunity come their way.

Bruce and Nora arrive to Nino’s office. Nora says she is reacquiring her bar license soon. Nora heads out, and Nino asks Bruce if any issues have arisen with the restructuring. Nino and Bruce examine the employee list and ranks. He’s thinking forward to employees for BBC. He tells Bruce of the export financial cap and his search for an projection effort so he knows what to expect from his investors. Bruce will keep an eye on Erin and her interns.

Bruce tells Nino of a past negative interaction he had with Boris. Nino returns with the same suggestions he gave Allen: go for a retaliation if you wish, just keep it away from me, and be cautious in your approach. Think about value, he says.

**Offstream: Reintroduction**

*Click "Expand" link at your own discretion to read/view events that transpired in the past few days off Mehdi's stream. Please note, Nino is relatively indirectly connected; this concerns that of Sonya's Storyline (which begins in Episode 70). Interests: the Doctor, Sonya, Gomer, VU. Again, read only if you wish to know more of the storyline; specific details provided here are unknown to Nino.*

Sonya is alive, but how has she changed? Credit to Spekel's Youtube for the video.

Spekel’s Vod: **Sonya’s Return**

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/476660114 (note, this vod will only be available for an unknown limited amount of time)

Sonya comes to in a room in the VU. She wears a white suit and black mask. The Doctor speaks to her: she is very weak and barely alive. She is still healing from being beaten and drowned. She doesn’t seem to have her full memory.

The Doctor states she is alive because “Gomer wanted it” and that Gomer has been given a sign recently only that Sonya still lives.

“I feel like I’ve lost everything,” Sonya says. "It was insured you lost everything – your actions took everything out from beneath you. But, there is an account to be settled between us. If nothing else, we stand here because Irwin Dundee did not do as commanded. And in that moment, he precured a debt, one that he will have to pay in time. One that I will settle with him. But, that does not forgo the fact that you suffered when I gave you my word. So, as time permits, and as your health reinvigorates itself, I will fill in the gaps of your memory as you require. For now, I will answer one thing, honestly, with no 'cryptic bullshit,' as you put it, should you ask it of me.”

“If I walk out that door, will I be hunted?”

“Not by me, and not by Nino.” But possibly by others.

Sonya says she’ll lay low for a while. The Doctor admits to her being right about OTT and the pawnshop – “I cannot side with anyone without objective trust being on the table. I will make you one offer I will not make again – should you remain neutral in this limbo of health, I will hand you control of the VU with other associates of mine, and in time, it will fall to you should you prove capable. But, that being said, if certain hostilities of the past arise, you need to do as I say and let them pass over you: I will handle it.”

Sonya acknowledges and agrees. The Doctor gives her a phone. Should she need someone “removed”, she can call him.

Sonya appreciates the Doctor’s work in keeping her alive; she says she chooses to trust him and will listen to him.

“So as long as you are not hostile, you will not be permitted to die, and they will see that.” The Doctor indicates it is time for Sonya to call their mutual friend. Sonya has anxiety of calling. The Doctor will send her location to him.

Sonya awaits Gomer’s arrival.

“Jesus Christ,” Gomer announces himself. They reconnect.

…

**Executive Summary: A German visitor arrives in Los Santos.**

Nino is seen leaving the VU.

Now time for some coke! Cameron calls, there are races today.

Nino meets with Buddha, who is informed of a drop. Buddha’s first drop will be worth 40k (assuming of weed) – he is to pack into an unmarked van with fake plates and will be given a date and time. There will be counter-surveillance and the authorities may know vague details of this activity. Buddha can make the decision to add in more product if he desires. They talk about the oxy market. Nino asks about pixerium.

Nino calls Javier. Along with an executive update on Cluckin’ Bell, he lets him know a visitor is arriving in LS today from Germany.

Nino deciphers Buddha’s coded messages – seems he has enough for 2 shipments. 200oz at 40k is confirmed via quick phone call.

Nino returns Dragon’s call: they start the conversation talking about women tits and asses. Dragon’s new MC is going well. The test of time will tell.

Nino now calls JJ. Crashes, repairs. The two meet at the boathouse. JJ hands over 200k cash in a briefcase. JJ’s contracts are still in progress [he’s been playing WOW]. Nino brings up the Wizard and pixerium – he wants more intel and flow control. There is too much heat in the city for Nino to import hardware. A deal for the Wizard discussed. Deliveries. JJ reminds of the Russians at the docks and the potential issues they could present: do they have motive/focus? We’ll solve that problem if it shows, says Nino. Something to consider. [Mehdi is disconnected]

Javier is not picking up Nino’s phone calls, so Nino goes to Pillbox to meet with Bruce. Short interaction with Columbo and a small chat with Mel.

**German Visitor:**

TL;DR: A representative from a top German manufacturing firm visits LS to potentially secure business ties with Saab and Eddie’s BBC.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

A German visitor calls: he’s ready to be picked up from the airport. Nino runs in circles and tells Bruce they urgently need a 4-seater. Bruce drives them both quickly to Sahara. Nino gives a super brief rundown: BBC, German manufacturing firm, representative, need to wine and dine him, introduce him to Saab, need his endorsement/approval on everything. Zee’s place and women? They take out the Pfister.

A text from the German indicates Nino is 4 minutes late. This guy is punctual. They arrive and are greeted with a “Guten Tag” (“Good day”). He specifies 7 minutes late for the pickup. Nino fumbles some German. The German takes a call; he lost 4 million dollars during his time waiting at the train station. He introduces himself as Herr Omega Einführer. At the observatory, Nino encourages Einführer to head over first to “mingle with the crowd” as he needs “bitches asap”. Bruce and Nino proceed to solidify the events prepared for the visitor. Saab is contacted and informed.

Einführer hears of the Cluckin’ Bell company – his first question is about the profit margin. He’s impressed with the answer. They discuss his flight to America and airlines. Commence Nino and Bruce trying to impress Einführer on the drive to Cluckin’ Bell. They make a pitstop at a stretch of beach – stalling for Saab. Business talk.

Einführer asks about Saab and Eddie – per the BBC. Einführer now gets another call, from a Bill Gates. Casual. Nino and Bruce keep up their impressed personas. Nino and Bruce put in good words for the BBC with Saab and Eddie. Einführer is introduced to the “bitcoin terrorists” in LS.

Bruce tells Nino he has a 6 course dinner prepared via Zee’s fine dining and girls lined up at the VU via Gunn. Nino wasn’t expecting the visitor so soon. Back at the Pfister, Einführer is finishing up a call to Elon Musk. He’s excited for coke and they all do lines. [Bruce and Hotted both disconnect – these coke effects are strong]

A call from Javier reveals he’s frantic – “they’re watching!” What’s up with Javier?

Einführer concludes a call with 50 Cent. They arrive to the 6-course restaurant of Zee’s: Nanakaze. The course list is reviewed and drinks are ordered. Zee is above and beyond. More talk on business. Drinks delivered to the table and the first course described. Talk continues. Nino excuses himself briefly to connect with Saab and plan the next event for the visitor. Nino and Bruce keep up their work on impressing their visitor and his culture. More courses delivered.

Nino pulls Bruce to the side to inform him of Javier’s odd phone call. Back at the table, Einführer hangs up on Richard Branson. Nino has been coordinating with Saab to bring a helicopter; it arrives and impressively lands in the small courtyard.

Now in the air above LS, Einführer seems impressed by the view. They land and Einführer claps. On the way to the tuner shop, part of the (old and banned) German anthem plays. Saab introduces himself to the visitor and they begin discussing business. Nino commissions Annabelle to ERP with Einführer. 99 Luftballons plays, but it’s an English version [sung by NoPixel player Simplyje2ns].

Einführer wants to know if BBC can accommodate distribution on a weekly basis – Saab says it is certainly doable. Wunderbar! More details to be discussed, but the visitor seems pleased thus far.

A red limo shows to pick up the representative. [The server restarts.]

Nino and Bruce discuss the German’s visit and payments for the events. He picks up a 2k paycheck from LifeInvader – what for, no idea.

Back in the Tuner Shop, Nino is greeted by Allen, who was just released from the ICU. Small gathering of people in the shop. Nino updates Saab on Cluckin’ Bell’s employee restructuring and the merge of some employees to the BBC.

**Executive Summary: A newcomer is given a crash course in picking up women. A martial arts group challenges another in the dojo.**

Usual errand to Harmony for his S15. Does car payments. Pays $2,500 for car service. It starts raining; Nino decides to test tunes on the slick roads.

He meets a Jackie outside the clothing store and gives her a ride to the apartments.

Nino meets with Pinto at Sahara and tells him of his promotion: he has been chosen as one of the first supervisors. Bruce, Javier, and Allen will provide Pinto with more details. Questions, answers, more chat.

Nino picks up Jerry and Nora in his Pfister. Talk on ownership of Bahama Mamas. Nora gives ideas for the place. Nino gives suggestions. Subject moves to Jerry. Jean mentioned. Sounds like Jordan Steele is interested in Thalia. Talk on Jordan’s beatings. Next, the purpose of sports.

Reinhardt is missing, says Jerry. Nino says he is not even able to check if Allen is still in the ICU. Where’s Brenda? Nino mentions the island from yesterday, Nora guesses correctly what went down. Jerry tells of his last night.

Nino takes a taxi to Sahara and chats with the driver. He pays 1k.

Nino informs Speedy hardware shipments are on a temporary hold and that current hardware in LS will start breaking down. Again, unknown if time-based or use-based. Nino describes his past envelope drop at his office, the associated weird phone calls, and someone seen taking photographs of the back of Sahara. They discuss the Wizard: effects on the city and Nino’s recent involvement. Speedy notes he has been El Hefe for a while, and he’s thinking about his future. Retirement for Speedy? More talk on the Wizard and the gun market. Nino is curious about the Russian group and Ballas.

Nino meets a masked Eugene at Pillbox. They take down a local guard. Buck and Kelly round the corner in just as strange attire. Chats a bit about rabies, etc.

**Steve:**

TL;DR: Nino gives Steve a crash course in picking up women.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Cameron needs help, there’s a virgin, Steve, in LS. Lequisha and Jackie here now as well. Discussion. Nino talks to Steve on the side and calls Jerry down. Curtis and Denzel show in just black hats, sunglasses, and red track pants with shoes. Denzel crushes Steve’s glasses. Good size gathering of people now. More debate with Lequisha.

Nino takes Steve with him in the S15. He continues his story about Disney’s manufactured idea of love; love is not real, he repeats. Steve must convince a woman he is absolutely in love with her even though love is fake. Nino takes him to a clothing store. Next, he needs a gun – he has one at Pink Cage. Nino calls Jerry, who informs there is a mime about to have trail by combat at the PD.

Nino and Steve arrive to the PD. After some talk, they return to the S15 and head up the road a bit. Jerry is to call when MJ exits the building and they plan to roll up. Cameron calls, did you fuck him? Nino returns, excuse me? Nino and Steve roll up to the PD: Jerry and MJ are standing just outside. Jerry and Steve both attempt to pick up MJ under Nino’s suggestion.

Back in the S15, Nino and Steve do coke. Adventure in Pink Cage with a pink haired Tiffany. Russians show. More people show. Olivia calls, Nino figures out Tiffany is actually Olivia. Payne arrives with Mya. Nino sets Steve on Mya now. A crowd watches. After some dialogue, Steve pulls a pistol and Mya returns with a punch to the face. Coke and oxy. Nino bats him; as intended, a female EMT Nettie arrives. Steve tries some lines, it works!

At Pillbox, Jerry and Nino chat about women. The guys look for Nettie. Found; she’ll be back on shift after the tsunami. [server restart incoming] Nino sends it with Jerry and Steve.

Payne calls, they’ll meet up. Nino crashes, injured. An EMT arrives, takes him to the hospital, impounds his charred car, then takes him to the impound lot.

Nino picks up Payne near the courthouse. They enter a house, previously Snake’s (Iroquois Plisken). It was foreclosed and Payne wants to check it out before it reenters the market. It has a suspicious interior. Payne takes a quick look in the safe in the wall and immediately wants to leave. Nino didn’t check the safe himself but thinks it’s empty.

Payne and Nino discuss breaks from paperwork in business and Nora. They find a good sending location next to the lighthouse. Nino convinces Payne to do a line with him. Payne acknowledges that Nino’s prior request is in motion (regarding house ownership without paperwork ties/etc similar possibly). They meet Jerry at PD and all three ride in Jerry’s 4 seater.

Nino, Jerry, and Payne talk about women, etc. They arrive to the gym and work out with the people already there. Nino does coke and his nose starts dripping with blood. Payne is seen conversing to Milton and Rose out of earshot. Nino and Jerry talk on radios about Rose. She’s on the same radio channel. Discussion on if a cahooting is taking place. The three realtors leave together, leaving Nino, Jerry, and Nora. At Garage Q, Nino and Jerry encourage Nora to speak to a judge about reacquiring her bar license (maybe etc.?).

**Dojo Event: The AYAYA Ninjas:**

TL;DR: Nino, Jerry, and Chang plan a dojo karate event: the AYAYA Ninjas (Chips, Vivi, and Chloe) versus Chang's crew.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino calls Chang: Dojo event upcoming. They find Vivi and convince her to join. She has the AYAYA accent. They meet up with Chang at the dojo. Nino, Jerry, and Vivi go searching for more AYAYA ninjas. Nino chats with Slim. Jack gives his speech for major. They find Chips; his “AYAYA” passes.

They go to the Cluckin’ Bell to train. Coop calls, he thinks Nino has done something and he plans to investigate.

Olivia wants to talk. She wants Nino to give the Aztecas some of the stuff she stole so she can come out of hiding. Nino says he can initiate communication – he will pass along the message but only that. Nino reminds her of the severity of her choice and that actions have consequences.

The AYAYA ninjas along with Nino and Jerry head to a clothing store to change. Chips dresses as a woman and matches outfits with Vivi. An attempt to recruit Kizzy fails. Chloe shows with MJ. Chloe changes into the ninja outfit. Chips practices his kicks. [Mehdi tries to change clothes but scuff shit or whatever]

Coop calls, he’ll be fighting in the event on the other side. More training at the Cluckin’ Bell. Ying, Yang, Yung given as names for the ninjas.

The AYAYA ninjas arrive to the dojo. Challenge time! Ying, Yang, and Yung demonstrate. Chang’s side demonstrates (Ramee, Ripley, Slim). Bets are placed. It’s initially 1v1. Then 3v3. It’s unfortunate news for the AYAYA ninjas and their egos, but not for their pockets. They’ll get their cuts from Chang soon. It’s imperative their identities be kept secret; this event went well. Chang and Nino plan to possibly make this a long con, with the intent that no-one knows this is pre-planned. Jerry picks up the ninjas to take them to the hospital.

Nino, back in his suit attire, drives to Chang’s mansion. Boe lets him inside and Dexx hands him some coke. Nino immediately cuts a line and affirms the quality. Everyone discusses ways to make the dojo event better and make more money. They also discuss ways to make more money by fixing the fights beforehand. A woman there introduces herself as Kylie. It’s Nino, Chang, Boe, Charles, Dexx, Chef, and Kylie. They all hang out and Nino does some more coke.

At Harmony, Vivi services the S15 while Nino pays 15k to Jerry (Jerry earlier paid 5k to each ninja). Nino pays Vivi 3k for the car. Jordan shows up as Nino repeatedly hits Jerry with a bat – nothing unusual to see here [Jerry was scuffed and stuck in the phone animation]. Jerry seems to be invincible. He’s run over. Still immortal. Dropped off a crane. All fine. A little drive and a few minutes later, he’s feeling the pain. Pillbox.

Nino talks to Torah about breast surgery with several people looking on. Nino discovers Jordan towed his car as it was “on the fucking sidewalk”. He meets a Jeffrey, who is impressed by Nino’s S15. Jeffrey thinks he’s important because of his rich father. He throws a swing at Nino, who chases him down the hospital steps and hits him with a taser. Nino picks him up to go drown him [but Mehdi is disconnected].

Marcus and Nino arrive to the Dating Show event. They roll dice to determine order. Jordan calls to tell Nino about a race later. Nino does a line and walks in. He realizes he’s already fucked both hosts (Thalia and Lequisha). Nino answers some dating questions. During the interview, Coop calls and says there’s a big trial in 20 minutes for Ricky. The situation in the dating show room escalates. Nino wants to make a speech – one alluding to sex that announces he is possibly running for major (no actual intention though). Coop is here now; Nino invites him into the camera frame. Talk again on Lequisha’s opinion that Coop is her son with Nino. He chats with Coop, a random, and Cameron after.

Javier calls Nino back to the stage, there’s a new woman now. Nino leaves after giving this new host his number. Cameron announces Nino is joining the judge panel, which is infuriating to Thalia. Dimitri is the current man in the spotlight. Next is Marcus. Then Juan.

Nino now inquires Nora’s organizational and management skills. Nora concludes she would be honored to work for the company, etc. Interview concluded and Nora leaves. Nino and Javier discuss Nora and the forthcoming layoff activity. She could perhaps fulfill a role of overseer over the supervisors and be a legal lookout.

**Sex, Drugs, and Alcohol:**

TL;DR: Nino, Jerry, and a few others go to an island for some fun.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

At Pink Cage, they pick up Misty Mistles, who sounds like a robot. They exchange the S15 for Nino’s boat. ERP on the boat. They meet with Jean and a judge. Nino does more coke. Milton and Rose join. The two boats head out into the waves. On an island, everyone dances and agrees that everything that happens on the island stays on the island. Molly goes around. They share the shack in pairs.

**Executive Summary: The election for major of LS is approaching. Jerry impresses Javier, and a Cluckin' Bell All-Hands meeting is held to make an important announcement.**

On his way to Harmony, Nino crashes. Summer services the S15 while Nino chats to Jordan. Talk on racing. Nino pays Summer 5k. He buys some armor. Discovers he doesn’t have a bat. Crashes into ghost car. Buys a bat.

New email from Lucky777, who is prepping and has a few order requests.

**Jerry and Kayden:**

TL;DR: Adventures with Jerry and Kayden. Discussion on upcoming election for major.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino calls Jerry. His face is messed up: supposedly Nora is the culprit. Nora is no longer an ADA because of something with Murphy. Jerry says Kayden has been destroying his car. Nino tells of Lequisha yesterday. Jerry tells of learning McClane is with Reinhardt. There’s a new cop though, a redhead, Kira. But she’s a lesbian. Jerry says Nora was suspended due to something Murphy did – he’s been on a rampage lately. Jerry speaks more about Murphy.

Kayden, Lequisha, and someone else cause a commotion in the middle of the road. Nino and Jerry watch in amusement as the three get in a van and drive off. Seconds later, the van is found burnt to a crisp with the injured women having a literal meltdown. Nino and Jerry ponder if they should save them. With the wails in the background, Jerry calls 911. The police and EMS arrive, Nino and Jerry continue on with their lives. They discuss Jerry’s lawyer life.

Jerry informs that there is an election for major in about 4 weeks, and Ron Otterman as well as Nora are running. The Vagos want to file a restraining order on LaBarre. They talk a bit about this major position and election.

There’s a roadblock; and EMS helicopter is in the middle of the road. Looks like it crashed. 2 EMTs, Kayden, Lequisha, a cop, and someone else. Jerry identifies this last one: Jessica Glittersnatch.

At Pillbox, a woman recognizes Nino as the one who received a blowjob from a doctor a while back. The woman proceeds to tell a nearby psychologist and describe the act. She lists off the list of her relatives. She claims Thalia is a virgin and is shocked when Nino says he fucked her in a bush. She is curious about what a chocolate starfish is when Jerry mentions it. Nino offers up Jerry to the woman, who checks him out. Conversation moves to his dick size, and he doesn’t answer when asked how that’s working for him. She claims a nearby unwilling woman as her granddaughter, more talk on sex.

Nino receives a call from Ramee; he wants a brick as he’s going to Liberty City soon.

Nino and Jerry leave in the S15 and meet Kayden at Benny’s. With Kayden is Jessica Glittersnatch. She’s in Jerry’s car, which irritates Jerry. They next head to a skate park. Kayden and Jessica quarrel. Discussion on who should run for major and if the election would be legit. Talk on LaBarre and water torturing. This reminds Nino he needs clean piss – he offers about 2k to Jessica. The latter then provides a jingle for Nino’s campaign: “Think in money, think in green, vote for Nino 2019”. She then presents a speech example. Hired. Talk on inappropriate campaign ideas.

Tweets by Ron Otterman suggest new laws: the presence of a mask is reasonable suspicion for questioning by the police and a broken stop light designates a 4 way stop. Kayden and Jessica continue to quarrel. More about the campaign plans. Jessica drives into the rest of the group, Code Brown is called. Shots fired. Jerry inquires if Sahara offers company cars as his just drove off.

A car alarm is heard; is it the S15? No, nearby car. The three drive to the courthouse, Jerry wants his payment. Nino meets a new judge, Buck Stanton(?). Apparently, Jerry actually owes the DOJ. Jerry will give Jean an email with names. Nino inquires about the election for major. A random guy, Juan Pablo, keeps asking about Cluckin’ Bell.

Nino joins the gathering of people on the court steps to listen to Ron answer campaign questions. Among other things, he plans to crack down hard on drugs in LS and put more criminals in prison. He is quite confident; he says his ‘competition’ is Payne. He takes his physical safety seriously.

Nino and Jerry discuss Ron and Nino recalls the man tried to slander him dressed as a woman a few months ago. The position of major holds little to no weight so no point in bringing the situation up in election season.

Bruce joins them at Sahara. Nino wants statistics on the active drivers for the factory. He also is interested in increasing efficiency of payments.

Nino asks Bruce’s opinion on Ron. Kayden shows, disappointed she was ditched. Nino sees an opportunity; Kayden can sleep with Ron! Perfect! Kayden says she will try. Nino remarks he doesn’t give a shit about being major. Kayden’s not on birth control: how has she not had kids yet?! She’s had three - news to Nino. Nino informs of the approaching layoffs and new role promotion system, as well as more involvement of management. Kayden, on learning the company will need more security, promptly attempts to hire Jerry. But I’m a lawyer, he retorts. Nino wants an All-Hands meeting. More talk on business. Nino asks about Nora, why did she step down?

Jerry’s services are requested; Nino gives him his Lectro for transportation. Jerry says there may be a bench trail for the LB. Nino encourages Kayden to assist Jerry. Nino gives Bruce a spare set of keys to the office.

In Garage Q, Norm and Kelly ask if Gomer is around. Something about thong pancakes(?). Actual pancakes that were stolen from Kelly. Alright.

Nino and Randy meet. They discuss racing and the rx7. A box truck is seen driving recklessly on the highway; Nino stops him to judge. Nino and Randy talk about V the Russian. Nino misses the action – maybe someday.

Nino gives Randy the information of the upcoming contract event and shows some of the materials. They discuss, they could maybe use Ramee the CEO. They talk about how they are each doing, and Nino explains his major campaign, or, rather, lack thereof. Javier tweets; he announces a hiring freeze for Cluckin’ Bell. Nino tells of his racing mishaps from a few days ago.

Randy is dropped off at a house with CG, and Nino and Vinny walk to the back to talk. Nino informs that hardware shipments have ceased to a dismayed Vinny. It’s across the board, Nino clarifies [too much of an influx of guns into the server, and although the Wizard provides more, a balance effort is needed - temporary]. Vinny is faced with a dilemma: sell the guns or keep them for CG. Nino highly recommends moving them.

Antho calls, he’s now a homeowner in the south side. Nino may have work for him in the future.

Nino saves Jerry from the courthouse. To him, there will not be a bench trail: they shot at cops and Reinhardt was being “sassy”. After learning more of the events that transpired, Nino suggests Reinhardt might be leading Jerry on. They talk about Rose and lesbians in LS. Nino suggests going after McClane; nah, Jerry likes McClane.

A random pulls up; is Nino rich? Can he give him money? This guy offers to take out Uchiha. Nino is curious if the car is actually Uchiha’s – he calls and confirms. Nino asks if Uchiha wants to do coke, but he only will if under a pretense that it is a legal activity (pretending it’s Vitamin P(?)). Uchiha questions if this is a setup. Nino questions if this is a setup. Denzel wants to talk, Eugene drives over the S15 with his Sand King.

Back at Sahara, Javier is seen in handcuffs. Jerry has some work to do. He acknowledges a language barrier. There was some sort of shooting, and the cop restrained Javier apparently as Javier was noticed on scene. After some discussion, and insults, Javier is let free and the cop leaves. Javier, pleased, pays Jerry. Now Javier provides his side of the story. Nino remembers he forgot Denzel. Edward is there; he apologizes to Javier, who judges the former. Nino is ready to make the announcement, set for less than an hour. Nino toys a bit with Edward.

Back on track to get Denzel, Nino congratulates Jerry. Then crashes. Jerry finds his way back to the car. Nino repairs, next Denny’s. Denzel is no longer outside of Pillbox.

Norm shows, he wants a ride. Do I look like a fucking taxi, says Nino. Yes, replies Norm. Nino drives Norm to Garage Q. [Mehdi is disconnected]

Nino chats to Jack: he’s also running for major. He demonstrates his slogan for the campaign and the grand ideas he has. Nino invites Jack to his Cluckin’ Bell event to announce his addition into the election. Jack drives Nino to Sahara.

**All-Hands:**

TL;DR: Nino hosts a Cluckin’ Bell All-Hands event with Javier, Bruce, and Jerry. He announces the new employee restructure.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino meets with Edward. He secured catering for the event. Javier is arranging the announcement. It goes public: event will be held in about 20 minutes and will include free catering and the presence of the CEO. Javier is surprised by Jack’s appearance. Nino calls Bruce to let him know to come down to Sahara for a pre-meeting session. Nino calls Jerry. Javier expresses his disappointment in a recent tweet. Nino prepares his speech with assistance from Javier. Jerry arrives. Bruce arrives. They all review the draft for the speech. They talk about bribing some of the audience to clap at every statement.

Kayden is unavailable; they will have to be their own security. Javier and Bruce start for Cluckin’ Bell, Nino and Jerry right behind. Jerry assures no legal ramifications should result; legally, it can be difficult to fire people.

They pass by a woman lying injured on a car. Jerry picks her up and Nino drives to Pillbox. Nino and Jerry race to Cluckin’ Bell. He crashes, repairs. They make it to the factory.

A private number calls again, the tick tock one. Another package at Sahara. Nino says nah. His All-Hands meeting is threatened. Nino says bring it on.

Javier offers Nino coke and then kicks off the meeting, introducing the men on stage and the catering provided by Zee. Zee gives a few words. Nino gives one last review of his notes and then makes his announcements. He notes the successes and opportunities of the company, the revenue growth, and the dreams the company allows. He says there will be a company restructure for everyone, more details to follow. He connects the other investment companies of Sahara International, such as BBC, to the employee roster of Cluckin’ Bell. Now for the layoffs: he says some employees will be able to follow their dreams due to exciting layoffs – a high percentage of 60-70%. Those not laid off will have more opportunity. He’s super hyped, as is Jack. Not really anyone else, though.

Q&A time. Question, so are people fired? Nino asks how many trucks the man has run. None is the reply, he doesn’t even work at the factory. Security is called. Nino cracks down on the employees. Nino spins it again; the company is reinvesting. Employee levels announced: Entry Trucker > Senior Trucker > Supervisor. More questions. Nino and Javier answer in their general manner. Bruce informs of the set paydays: Tuesdays and Fridays. Edward shows, he’s also a recruiter for Cluckin’ Bell.

Nino reaffirms the layoffs will affect those with inactivity. He talks some more, etc. Nino announces the repairs of the company trucks will be handled in the future by the city’s service shops.

Nino announces the first Los Santos Battle Royale: tasers as weapons, bus entrance, chicken dinner as prize. Details TBD.

The redirecting of company funds helps new LS businesses, such as Zee’s diner. Zee markets her diner and gives appreciation to Sahara/Nino. Javier quickly wraps up the meeting, stating the Cluckin’ Bell discord which contains the recent changes written, a radio frequency, direct contacts, and a survey.

The four men discuss the meeting. Perhaps limit the number of trucks allowed per day / per week? Can be split with Entry/Senior levels. Harry is pissing Javier off.

**Executive Summary: Nino hangs out with Kayden, requests another tarot card reading, and reconnects with Buddha. An envelope is discovered at Sahara.**

Nino runs into Dundee and Kayden.

At Harmony, Nino meets Mike Rosoftsam, a man with a robotic voice. He says he met Nino three years ago when Nino wore Yeezys. He was associated with the LB back in the day. A French woman shows. Beauté? Jordan is given keys to the S15 to fix. Nino tells of his explosion during the race the day before.

Nino goes to Pillbox to see Ducky. A member of the police department inquires Nino for a job at the chicken factory. Nino refuses due to past events.

Nino checks his record, he has 5 points on his license. Outside the courthouse, he runs into Kayden. She blooded in to Dundee’s gang (Bondi Boyz MC), now she wants to blood out. Apparently it was marry Dundee or die.

Nino spots the tarot reader and schedules a meet. This guy really impressed Nino during past readings and Nino thinks Kayden can benefit from one. They head for the blackjack room. He arrives and gives Kayden a reading while Nino smokes nearby.

Nino requests a reading while Kayden ponders hers. Card 1(feeling): The Lovers. Card 2(want): The World. Card 3 (fears): Temperance. Card 4(going for you): The Magician. Card 5(going against you): The High Priestess / insecurity. Card 6(likely outcome): The Wheel of Fortune. Nino pays Ryan 5k and leaves with Kayden. He seems affected by the reading.

Crashes, repairs, receives call from Ducky. Nino tells Kayden of the weird call he received during the reading (the creepy music and maniacal laugh one). Nino is definitely affected by the cards.

Nino meets with Ducky and requests pain killers – he wants a prescription. Ducky asks about drug use. Nino wants oxy. Ducky will see what he can do, but wants to schedule tests and hold a discussion with his co-workers. Nino chats with Nora. Back at his car, Ducky says he should probably lock his vehicle when leaving medicine in his glovebox.

Nino and Kayden leave, Nino checks the glovebox: Ducky had placed 5 oxy in it. Nino and Kayden continue the discussion of the card readings. Nino calls Milton. Commence Operation Marry Milton.

Milton plays hard to get with Kayden at PDM, sorta. Kayden responds the same, sorta. Nino and Kayden leave, Kayden says she just wants to fuck.

Nino calls Buddha and lets him know earlier he met a Mike Rosoftsam who claimed to know the LB. Buddha confirms the name and wants to meet up [phone is scuffed]

Milton is concerned that Kayden is married to Dundee already.

Back on the road again. Kayden crashes, Nino repairs.

**Nino and Buddha Reconnect:**

TL;DR: The two share information, including that of the LB meth undertaking, an investment in the south, and leaked secrets in the city leading to paranoia.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino and Buddha both splat onto the sand to meet. Entirely intentional, of course. They discuss Mike, a robot old LB member or associate. Buddha and Nino talk about the cops and then the start of the meth business with the LB. It will be silent competition, Nino says. LB will not be the only group with meth (Green is the other). Buddha wants heavy ammo. Discussion on Wizard [mechanic]. Nino informs Buddha he made a big investment in the south – this will hopefully lead to resolving or helping mitigate pain points/challenges with different groups on the south end. Referring VU project possibly. The sound of a jet ski lures the two out of conversation; Nino grabs binoculars and Buddha a C2. Seems to be locals.

Nino and Buddha discuss paranoia and the CID, along with journals. Nino tells of CI Jeremy Yang and his demise. Buddha is thoroughly shocked and starts freaking out. Nino gives more information regarding supposed secrets. Be careful who you trust, test them. Nino explains example of Speedy.

Buddha is very paranoid still and checks some names with Nino: Kayden’s name is first. She’s trusted, but not on a deep level. Next name is Riker (Cameron/Jonathan); Nino clarifies him. Buddha says he misses working with Nino back in the day because he learned so much. After offering his services, Buddha walks down the pier away from Nino.

**Envelope Drop:**

TL;DR: Nino receives a call from a private number leading him to an envelope with contents that indicate he is being watched. “Paranoia is a beautiful thing”. He investigates.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino answers a call from a private number. Transcript: “You should go to Sahara International. There is a package waiting for you. Tick tock, tick tock.” Nino spins around in his S15, the office on his map.

Nino answers a call from a private number. Transcript: “You should go to Sahara International. There is a package waiting for you. Tick tock, tick tock.” Nino spins around in his S15, the office on his map.

Nino arrives at Sahara. He scopes out the nearby area for people and vehicles before approaching. He parks in front and runs to the back, gun at the ready. No one seen, nothing looks out of place. He finds a manila envelope on the ground with the name “NINO” written on it. He opens it; inside are various pictures taken of Sahara Industries from Saturday, including the meetings Nino attended. The photos also include the officers at the scene where the Black Washington (vehicle) was left. At the bottom of the stack of photos, there is a message put together with letters from magazine clippings: “You’re a self aware of your surroundings. Paranoia is a beautiful thing”. It’s signed with what looks to be a winking / keep one eye open face created out of lines.

Nino races back to the S15. A black/green vehicle is seen rapidly reversing out of the driveway, Nino follows. He loses sight and returns to Sahara where the envelope still lays. He retrieves it and ponders its contents. As he is leaving Sahara, he notices a similar car to the one he was just following: he gives chase. It’s Rusty, who has no idea about the envelope. Nino explains his paranoia.

Nino answers a call. It’s somebody who wants to talk about Jerry. Another call from a private number comes in, Nino tells this person to call back in 15 minutes.
He answers the private number. From the other side plays a version of the song by The Police, Every Breath You Take: “I’ll be watching you”. Nino wonders what this is all about.

Nino sees Sun Moon. They chat for a bit then head to Pillbox. Nino tests a bit to see if Moon knows about the calls. Nino talks to the ADA Adrienne and Kermit(?). Vinny calls.

Nino picks up Vinny and tells of the envelope and phone calls. Vinny says he got the hardware and is already moving it. [Shotz is disconnected] Nino checks twitter; some permas (Ballas). Uchiha got the 9s. Discussion on hardware. Nino tells his racetrack idea while at the winery. Vinny hands over his contract materials.

Nino calls Curtis to “help tune his car”. Nino informs him of Lucky’s contract. Car talk. Back to the contract. Nino sends Curtis an email with the contract details, some information redacted. They talk ideas. Nino crashes, repairs, and the two separate.

Nino meets yet another Summer. Nino convinces her to enter his apartment to see a “boom”. Nino does coke. [server restarts]

Nino crashes, repairs, and is attacked by the other driver. A clown saves him yet again.

Garage T, meets Ramee, who also has a Skyline now. Talk on Thalia. Does Tommy take steroids? Nino calls Thalia, want to meet? She’s a little irate. They decide not to meet.

Nino pays Vinny 55k. Nino crashes, repairs. Nino calls Lequisha back. Debate on if Nino has a kid. Jerry. They meet at Zee’s diner. Debate continues. Nino orders food, $200. Coop is Nino’s son? What? Jerry is now topic again. She thinks Nino is not setting Jerry up correctly. Back to Coop. DNA and SBS tests. Lequisha leaves, Nino stays and chats with Gunn and Zee.

Harmony for Skyline repair. He meets a women looking to get her tow truck fixed. Her dream is to become aligned with the universe. Astrology > tarot card reading. Rusty shows. Pinto calls, a Fredrick wants to work at Cluckin' Bell. The woman questions Nino’s morals upon hearing about his factory. Pinto arrives with the Fredrick guy. Someone calls regarding the factory. Pinto is given permission to train Fredrick. Jean overhears about Kayden. Jean is apparently the judge’s assistant. The woman, Sequoia also wants a factory job – Pinto informed. Nino pays Jordan 5k for the repair. The locals cause mayhem.

Nino chats with others on the court steps. Uchiha’s bail hearing is soon. Chang gives Nino some whiskey. Bail hearing begins. Nino and Ramee cause a disturbance in the court room by doing coke. During recess, Nino chats and has more fun with Ramee. Vinny has a business event idea. Pinto and Ramee call.

Nino and Pinto talk at Sahara. Pinto says there was a major conundrum – some spike strips were left on the highway. Pinto took photo evidence and is ready to go to court. Everyone is safe, but a lot of people got hit by the strips. Nino assigns Jerry to the case. Pinto will take point. He’s putting in work! Nino informs of the plan to restructure and Sahara’s business interests. One part: new jobs offered by Sahara will be filled from the Cluckin’ Bell roster, and so forth. Talk about hierarchy within the company. Pinto is resourceful and takes initiative.

**Executive Summary: Business is discussed. Nino meets with DW, who has more information and materials to pass along regarding Lucky777’s contract.**

Nino arrives at Harmony and chats with Jordan and Gunn. They compare orgasms to instances of death. More talk about living life. He receives a text; Javier’s in the city. Business talk and efficiency. They talk about the races yesterday. Nino pays Jordan 6k for his s15 fix, and crashes less than a minute later.

Nino reviews Lucky777’s special contract. [Image of email can be found in Episode 87]

Javier shows, Nino lets him know of the OTT performance later that day. They talk business, Sahara and Cluckin' Bell. Javier’s working on solving some of the problems he discovered, namely payments. They talk about Cameron/Johnathen and the BBC. Nino calls Jerry. Nino tells some of his backstory to Javier – concerning his relationship with his mother, and her action of calling the cops on her son.

Jerry arrives, Javier wants an introduction. They conclude on the title “Associate Lawyer”. Jerry explains his rough last few days. Javier asks Jerry to say what makes Nino and himself so badass. Javier states he only wants to hear the solutions, not the problems. Jerry continues with his story of last night, Kayden married Dundee and had anal sex. All three leave in separate vehicles for OTT’s performance at the VU.

They arrive at the VU to listen to OTT’s new diss track on Green. Nino chats with Boe and some others.

Nino tweets out for recruiters and entertainers for Cluckin' Bell. Javier and Nino talk about the current worker structure and microaggressions.

Nino and Javier stop by the courthouse steps, some turmoil. Apparently, a court con(?).
Nino crashes and repairs. They discuss the potential future hires and part.

Nino calls Vinny; he wants to know if Vinny successfully received his hardware shipment. Vinny will check.

Call from a private number: it’s the dock worker. The classic: “Number?”. Vinny calls back, he confirmed his hardware shipment.

Nino arrives to the DW’s ping location; where is he? He finds him; red shorts, pink timbs, fanny pack, long hair, mustache, gold chain, sunglasses, warming up jog. He’s discovered his pay was negative from the last job. He’s researching the airport. He hands over 2 usb drives. He rustles around in his fanny pack for a piece of paper and some other stuff.

It’s the blueprint with the layout of LifeInvader, with the server room circled, all entrances to the building pictured, a cleaning company (Floor2Ceiling Cleaning Services) contract with LifeInvader, 4 badges with fake names and 4 uniform vouchers for F2C. Nino and DW discuss the plan; obviously, this is for Lucky’s special contract. One of the guards, DW says, sleeps through most his shifts and the other is an asshole - the potential problem one. DW suggests to stay for the whole shift as to not arouse suspicion. Standard white van will do. DW asks about Ron Oil(?) Something to do with the phantom truck?

Nino stores the materials in Integrity.

I’m going to try something, Nino says, right before he launches in the air and hits a few poles: landing badly injured. An EMT makes it to Nino, but scuffy shit happens. [He has to press E.] In the hospital, he is treated by Ducky. As he is leaving Pillbox, he chats with two EMTs and some others. Nino tries to figure out if he is dreaming (because of the scuff). He calls Ramee for help.

Ramee picks Nino up from Pillbox. They discuss chlamydia and the progression of the internet, etc. via porn and Ramee offers coke. Talk about completely random shit. Talk on Thalia, business, and cars. They drive to the winery. Talk on the racetrack idea in place of the military base. Car talk again.

Nino is pulled over by A.J. and (?). He pretends to tell them a secret, a box truck travels from the Sandy grocery store to some Drive with meth. He leads them on with this story. It’s an exciting case, a case that can lead to promotion! It’s definitely worth a check, says Nino, and no worth telling the higher ups. Operation Krystal.

Bruce calls, Cluckin' Bell needs more funds. Bruce has some ideas for more marketing events. More business talk.

Nino travels to Paleto for another race. He pays Saab 4k for the entry fee and tunes his s15. Nino chats with Ramee and Bruce.

**Executive Summary: Ballas Curtis is back in LS. Nino reads his new contract from Lucky777 and attends 2 races. Jerry tries his skills on a few more women.**

Harmony first stop. Car fix. Talks with Jordan about races yesterday and an opportunity for Harmony to fix up chicken trucks on the side.

[Mehdi’s net crashes]

Nino picks up Speedy. He informs that hardware drops will be pulled until the heat on the Vagos dies down. Speedy has a new house outside the barrio and will require the key maker for this new drop house. Speedy’s contract is ready, and he can take late payment (for Nino to determine financial value). Speedy will hold a street court to discover his snitch; Nino is invited to participate as a masked judge. Gang snitch talk. Speedy hits on an idea that Nino seems to be already working on, a ‘high table for the criminal underworld’. Speedy can hook Nino up with oxy (for races). Nino finds out Speedy and Siz are already connected. Speedy wants a musket and heavy ammo. An invite only, anonymous auction initiated by Nino to be held in the future. Something comes up involving Ellie, Nino quickly drops Speedy off.

Nino picks up Double D from the side of the road and they talk business. He drops him off at a Grove crime scene.

Curtis says he and his gang is available for work for Nino, who updates Curtis on his new business dealings. Nino crashes. Nino needs oxy, Curtis starts to run to the hood to get some.

Vinny calls. Nino meets with him and Charles. Nino informs of the upcoming auction – he explains this bidding event. Nino inquires about CG’s thoughts on Payne. He passes along Payne’s concerns about respect.

Nino meets Ducky at Pillbox. Ducky takes the wheel of the s15 with Nino as passenger and goes for a quick drive.

Back at Pillbox, Nino meets with Kayden and Chips: the latter wants to be pissed on. A quest giver walks by. First quest: convince someone to join. Nino tries Ducky. Next, find a singer/host. A nearby woman joins in.

Nino, Kayden, Chips, and the other woman decide to leave for their own quest. Ducky calls, he’s moving Nino’s s15 to a safe location. The lady in the back says her name is Lily Moon. Talk of news reports of dicks.

They arrive at PDM, Kayden asks Milton about a date. More talk. Nino drops Kayden’s name in front of Chips, instead of calling her Camila. The secret is out! [disconnect from server]

Nino meets Ducky, they chat about Nino killing people. Nino finds a guy near the entrance to Integrity, is this the guy Milton wanted? Seems the wrong guy. More people, chaos, etc. Nino witnesses the happy family dynamic of Chips, Kayden, and Jordan. Bruce shows, quick chat. Turns out Chips wants piss so he can pass his drug test. Bruce offers for Chips.

Nino, Kayden, and Chips decide to freak out Milton. Nino rides along on a test drive with Milton and a random. He tries to convince Milton to go on a date with Kayden. At Garage Q Nino recommends the manager names of Cluckin' Bell to a seeking employee.

Tuner shop with Eddie and Tommy. There is a race soon. Eddie is interested in state-sponsored events. Funds all in one account is difficult. Kayden and Chips show. [disconnect from server] Race will be randomized partners. Nino and Erin break off to get entrance money. Nino pays 5k to Eddie. Gomer shows wearing ‘little clothing’ and a pig mask. Apparently, the outfit is financially beneficial.

Nino reads his email contract for Lucky777:

**Racing:**

TL;DR: Nino pairs with Charles for the first race and Jack the second.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

A huge circle of people forms in the tuner shop and debate ensues regarding race specifics. Everyone moves to race start location. More talk, yada yada, and waiting. Random pair teams announced: Nino is paired with Chawa. Same deal as yesterday, 4 laps, refuel between each lap, driver swap each lap. It’s confusing to all the new people; more time is taken to explain. Cops show.

Race starts, it’s raining. Charles driving first. They casually discuss cars while speeding and Charles commentates the whole lap. Perfect lap, no crashes and no stops. KABOOM Charles drove into the gas pump [desync]. Exact same pump and spot as yesterday. Nino and Charles are pulled from the blast area and an EMT arrives. They’re only mildly burnt so decide to head to Pillbox later. [Summit is disconnected from server] The Paleto gas station repeatedly blows up. Charles returns and they resume the race.

Nino’s turn to drive. Clean run of lap 2, even does a Tony Hawk rail grind.

Fuel up (with feet to spare), switch drivers, Charles on lap 3 now. Suddenly a truck blows up next to them and the S15 catches fire from it and also blows up. LOL. Saab comes to pick them up. EMS truck. Pillbox. Normal commotion, plus a tractor.

Yabut(?) picks up Nino and takes him to Sahara. He pays the astonished driver 2k. Bikes to get his Skyline. Tuner Shop. Charles gets keys and drives to impound lot with Nino to pick up Nino’s s15. Everyone regroups at tuner shop. Nino tunes and tests his s15, crashes, takes oxy. Goes back to Paleto to meet for 2nd race. Pairs with Jack.

Talks to Nathan, who gives an update on his endeavors, Tim Lee, and Lily Lee.
2nd race starts, Nino as first driver in his s15. Hits a sign, repairs. Refuels and car switch, Jack now driving. Crash, repair. Another crash, repair. Repeat crash, repair. Crash, spiral off road onto a river bank, where’s Jack? Nino finds Jack, puts him in the car, and continues driving. Vehicle has had enough, jumps, spins in the air, Nino repairs then plays Where’s Jack? again. Nino hits something, lunges in the air, hits the ground and is badly injured. EMS is in short supply. A cop shows after several minutes. An EMT arrives, drive to Pillbox.

Jack picks up Nino. Jack crashes twice on the way to get the s15.
Nino calls Raja, who informs him that the car Jack drove away from the hospital in after picking up Nino was stolen – it’s Sara’s. Whoops. Nino doesn’t pass over Jack’s name until the end of the call, when he accidently says it. He’ll keep this situation between Jack and Sara.

Nino runs into Olivia at Garage Q. Jerry shows, still in his bachelor outfit, and Nino puts him on the spot with Olivia. Kayden arrives. A lot of people are here, a court case is about to begin.

Nino walks in and observes the case, Saab vs legal enforcement (when Charles and Vinny shot earlier in the day during the 2nd race - but the authorities are pressing Saab. Winchester is main for the police. Kayden as Saab's lawyer. Coyote as presiding judge. Vinny pulled up as witness. Coyote asks a few questions. Winchester brought up to stand; he says he identified Saab by the smell of his breath and gives a detailed story from his past. More questions. While Coyote deliberates, Nino takes the opportunity to ask Winchester if his mother had chlamydia. Coyote comes back, he determines multiple charges guilty. No time but a $2,050 fine for Saab).

After the case, the storyline of Kayden and Nino bachelorizing Jerry continues. Jerry changes into just boxers and they head to Cluckin' Bell. Nino invites Erin over and tricks her into walking into the bathroom, where Jerry is. She runs right back out and the three debate, Erin initially irate. Kayden meets the three at Pillbox, discussion is still on Jerry. Targets: EMT at hospital, Brenda, Karen. PDM.

The trio is pulled over by Winters outside of Integrity.

**Executive Summary: Lawyer Jerry is detained after an adventure with Nino and Kayden, Payne lets on he has an unknown ability which could prove very useful, and Nino showcases a landed barrel roll in the races.**

Morning errand at Harmony for a car fix. He catches up on his car payments. He talks with Jordan and some other workers about coffee beans then pays 7k for the repair. Race opportunity in an hour.

**Jerry:**

TL;DR: Nino and Kayden attempt to help Jerry connect with Reinhardt.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino and Jerry connect. Nino calls Kayden/Camila for a meeting. Jerry makes a slight effort to help a nearby tourist locate her family. Nino and Jerry discuss if Camila banged Milton, who is 18.

At Sahara, Kayden gives Jerry a security check. Nino informs Kayden of individuals on rooftops. Nino and Jerry talk about the upcoming case regarding Nino assisting Reinhardt. Conversation moves to devising a plan to make Jerry look like a hero in front of Reinhardt. Jerry comes to the realization he filed the case incorrectly and will have to fix it. Kayden walks away cackling when she learns Jean called Jerry gross. They discuss untreated chlamydia – Thalia. Jerry thinks Kayden (to him Camila) seems familiar. New plan discussion: make Jerry look like Nino to fool Thalia.

Jerry changes clothes to mirror Nino in Ponsonbys. Buddha calls, LB and Nino will discuss weed later. Speedy calls, he will shortly have his order/contract delivered. They make a short drive to Hair on Hawick for a quick tanning session.

They drive around the city looking for people for Jerry. It escalates to Nino purposefully crashing so Jerry can AYAYA attempt the EMS. Next target, Gunn: Nino and Kayden give word suggestions via radio to Jerry just a few feet from the two. Next: Nora. Inside the PD, Jerry has his chance at his main target: Reinhardt. Summer Mersion is found on the court steps; at one point she follows Jerry with a bat.

Pinto Patel stops by, Nino pays 2k for a rental of his muscle car for Jerry. Kayden calls Apples to lure him into the situation. A crew gathers at the second set of apartments to discuss their plan for Jerry. Kayden knocks Rocky(?) out.

At the pier, Apples hits Nino with a crowbar (Nino willing, this is part of the act). Only 2 hits take him down. Jerry takes out Apples. They all wait around for cops (in particular, Reinhardt) to show. A good deal of time passes, finally EMS show with a cop (not Reinhardt). By this point, both Kayden and Apples vanished [sudden disconnect from server].

Kayden and Nino wait in the hospital for Jerry then learn he crashed the car. He radios he is in a cop car. Jerry was arrested?! Stolen car and oxy?! Payne meets at PD. Someone starts shooting. Jerry? Payne says Speedy.

Jerry walks into the PD in cuffs with Columbo. Yup, stolen car and oxy charges. As he is led to a cell, Nino and Kayden offer themselves as witnesses and try to talk Jerry out of the charges. Payne says he’s putting a hold on the sale of houses.

Nino, Payne, Milton, Annabelle, and 3 ‘cops’ talk at PD. Societal identification, micro aggressions, correctness, etc.

Nino sees Reinhardt and Jerry – he walks over and says loudly he’s ready to sue the guy from earlier (the plan to make Jerry a hero). Unfortunately, Reinhardt is busy and leaves.

Nino decides to throw a party, a “Jerry saved Nino Party”.

Payne and Nino discuss Jerry. The microaggression self-imposed cops call. Payne rambles about Milton and Jerry. Dundees. Now on the top of a mountain, they talk about lack of privacy in the city and Payne’s business. Subpoena. Nino’s business: mutual benefit. Payne is concerned about the recent events regarding Milton and the disrespect he sees. Nino is reminded of the QF situation and offers some advice. One cannot provide 100% protection to surrounding people/employees. All people do is take, says Payne. He just wants respect for what he provides. Talk of business effect. Sometimes, shit happens, though. You must put your foot down if you really want that respect, Nino says. Payne drops CG as the group that kidnapped him and considers what he can do.

Payne lets Nino in on his ability to acquire and sell a place completely off-the-grid – no name attached, no paper records. Now he has Nino’s attention. It would take a few days. Nino wonders if Payne would be able to ‘kill the dog’.

Back at Sahara, they split, and Nino takes out his s15. He talks on the phone with the microaggression people about the seminar.

Nino picks up Kayden. Microaggression people call, Nino receives a ping. They all meet, and one of them pulls a Code Brown. This might be an issue. The seminar commences. They don’t leave when Nino requests, so Nino says Code Brown. Down they go, riddled with bullets from Kayden’s gun. Nino and Kayden drive to the pier and Nino sends it [server restart upcoming].

The phones received a massive update; Nino checks it out. Nino picks up Erin. He explains his microaggression seminar.

**Race Time:**

TL;DR: Nino and Erin race as a pair starting in Paleto.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino arrives in Paleto for the race. He originally thought JJ would be his partner; upon arrival, he learns Erin will be. During the group discussion before the race, Nino gets a call from (?) who informs him of some Cluckin Bell truck misuse. The race: 4 laps, 2 people per team, 2 different cars. Long-distance, both drivers in one car, switch driver and car each lap with a refuel in between.

Race starts, the other competitors fly by, yet Nino and Erin haven’t crashed. Erin starts to give directions so Nino doesn’t have to look at the map. A pole wins vs the m15 and Nino repairs. Back moving, Erin works as a GPS voice again and they cover ground. They make it to the gas station checkpoint. Nino gasses up and then gets in Erin’s car for the second lap. She’s driving now, and Nino voices the GPS. She makes it a good way but hits a car and must repair. The car suddenly jumps randomly into a pole, another repair. More turns, crash, repair. Ghost cars plentiful. Lap 2 complete, Erin refills, Nino readies his car. Erin parks quickly, lap 3 begins, with Nino again at the wheel. Locations of cops given over the radio to all racers. Currently 3rd place, behind JJ/Jordan and Saab/Charles. No crashes this lap. Refuel, Erin’s turn for the final lap. Going well until the car suddenly flips. Quick flip back and back to 150mph+. A local truck decides it absolutely needs the right lane immediately and a repair is needed. Erin now is blacking out. Over the radio they get the go ahead for Nino to drive the rest of the way in Erin’s car; time to learn this car.

Finish line! 3rd place. [Mehdi comes to the conclusion that looking at chat while driving leads to poor results.]

Nino and Kayden discuss Jordan, Kayden’s husband. Did he marry her for tax benefit purposes? Saab and Erin are invited into the discussion. Jack/Cookie shows.

Solo race opportunity. Some woman with a man’s voice shows, and Nino uses his new microaggression knowledge and asks if this random has a penis. Kayden and the random debate clothing choices. Now talking about women pulling guns out of their pussies. Turns out this woman is going to take part in the racing.

CG shows up in a yellow car. Nino walks around and chats, a lot of people are here. Nino listens to Saab and Kayden argue. Nino and Saab discuss the BBC progression. Nino pays in 2k to enter the race; it will be 2 laps.

Green light, Nino pulls ahead, crash, ejaculated from vehicle within a few seconds. A little injury and a repair later, back on the road. Nino keeps blacking out, it’s hard to see. Runs over Jonelle (she was right in the middle of the road). Hospital trip. Barrel roll. Crash, repair. Nino gets too close to gas pump [desync]– explosion. Jordan rushes Nino to the hospital. Seems like Saab was the only one to finish the race, everyone else died or was injured. A bunch of people gather around outside Pillbox.

Nino tests his Skyline. Crash, hospital.

**Executive Summary: A spy is seen and the identity of Camila is revealed. The Doctor confirms construction is underway and Coop is in a mid-life crisis.**

Nino goes up to Harmony to get his S15 fixed. Tommy shows up and Nino test drives the RX7. Nino then meets Nathan Larson at Sahara. He tells him about his Los Santos Task Force, a group focused on uniting the community through events. Nino likes the idea. They talk about Siz and how he promised Nathan to help getting him in contact with the right people. They notice someone spying on them from a roof across the road. The person leaves in a black car. They talk about the business some more, Nino advices Nathan to change the name to something like Citizens Task Force. Nino says he's gonna support his idea.

They leave and Nino recognizes the vehicle the spy left in standing in front of Sahara. He calls for police assistance and tries to create a scenario where the owner of the car gets looked up by the cops. He decides to crash his car into a wall and do a little damage to himself and the car, so he can claim that he got attacked, but he crashes too hard and dies (https://clips.twitch.tv/AmorphousSingleWaffleOSsloth). Cops show up, check the license plate and find out it's a stolen car from a local. Nino gets a ride to the hospital.

**"Camila":**

TL;DR: Camila reveals to Nino her real identity - Kayden. She tells of her backstory and why she is choosing to live under a fake name.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino picks up Camila. They go to Sahara and Nino tells her about the person spying on him earlier. Camila then out of nowhere admits that she's Kayden.

They talk about Nino being investigated by CID without any proof he actually did anything illegal.

Kayden then tells Nino the story of how she got labelled as a snitch. She tells him how her and Vinny used to sell guns together. Since she couldn't get into the city anymore, Vinny took over the gun business. Vinny wasn't careful and started spending money that wasn't accounted for, so CID started investigating him and DA put her on a witness list, even though she never talked to them or intended to talk to them. They leaked the document stating her as a witness and her reputation was ruined. They talk about a lawsuit against the DA's office, Kayden tells him about her plan of getting the trust of some groups back as Camila and then telling them who she really is. Nino warns her that this plan could backfire if her real identity got leaked earlier than intended. Nino also finds out that she's part of Dundee's MC. Nino drops Kayden off to think about the information she just dumped on him.

Nino gets pulled over by Clarkson for running red lights. Clarkson talks to him in a threatening manner, so Nino requests a superior officer and Reinhardt shows up. Clarkson can't get the number of red lights Nino ran straight, continues to threaten him, and Reinhardt documents it all. Clarkson pulls out his baton and Reinhardt tells him to put that thing away. Nino then gets a warning and Clarkson/Reinhardt leave for another call.

Nino calls JJ to give Harmony a contract, but crashes on the way to a meeting spot. JJ also crashed.

Nino calls Kayden, she tells him that she just came out to the Lean Bois and shot her "sister wife". They plan to meet. On the way, Nino finds Clarkson's truck abandoned on the road. He calls it in while Clarkson is walking towards him. Clarkson threatens him some more, Nino gets in his car, runs him over and speeds off. Nino then gets a ping from Cameron. He picks up Kayden, tells her about Cameron's mental state and they go to meet him.

Cameron wants to give Nino an update. Apparently he's working for BBC now and wanted to let Nino know. He also shows him the Pixerium Sticks, but Nino already knows about them. Nino then tells him that his best option is to do what Nino asks from him, apart from that he should find his own purpose in the city.

**Nino and JJ Connect:**

TL;DR: Nino and JJ discuss spies in LS, along with Raja and Kayden. JJ is given another contract and affirms he can deliver contracts when Nino is asleep.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino drops off Kayden again to meet with JJ. They meet on a parking lot up north and go for a drive.

Nino tells him about the guy spying on him at Sahara. They talk about meeting spots and how driving is the best option. JJ tells him he just won around $20,000 in races. Nino gives JJ a contract (20 Gold Bars, 500 Rolex). He also tells him to look at another contract, but not fulfill it (1 Electronic Kit, 4 Lockpicks, 20 Thermite, 5 Handcuffs, 3 Disposable Phones, 3 Sets of Body Armor, 3 Police Issued Weapons, 15 Sets of Rifle Ammo, 3 Stolen IDs). He asks that if he gave JJ something like this, if it would be something he could do. He says he could do anything but the Police Weapons, but he could buy them from people he knows.

JJ then tells him that he met with Raja, who gave him the information that was in Yang's book. He's still on the fence about Raja, but he definitely feels better about him. Nino says he could use JJ's help handing out contracts to people who are around earlier than Nino, JJ's says he'd like to do that. He asks him about Kayden, but JJ doesn't know anything about her except that she's towing cars.

JJ then tells him Reed got raided because he did a bank job, and even though he was masked they found out his identity and arrested him.

JJ asks about something Nino promised they'd get after the Armored Truck job, Nino says it was the gun connect that JJ already had. [The game crashes.]

Nino goes to Garage Q, where he meets Lily Moon. They talk about Boston Sausage ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) and Lily seems to be interested in trying it. Nino gives her Sun Moon's phone number. They plan to hang out later.

Nino goes to retrieve his car and gets it fixed at the tuner shop. He buys a tuner shop membership for 5k and lines up some ERP with the lady working there. He talks to Milton about getting pussy.

Nino then meets with Vinny at the Pier. Nino gets a text from The Doctor saying he should ask Vinny about him. Since Nino doesn't know where The Doctor is going with this he decides not to talk about it with Vinny.

Vinny pays Nino $106,700 for the last gun shipment. Nino drops him off at the pier.

**The Doctor's Fabrication:**

TL;DR: The Doctor holds suspicions about the movement of information in the city. He updates Nino on the VU construction and its patients and Nino says he is preparing business opportunities for the future VIPs.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino then calls The Doctor. Apparently Vinny said too many people knew things about that night (Sonya's murder) that shouldn't know about it. Nino says they shouldn't worry about it.

The Doctor comes to the pier. The talk about the patient, Doc says they'll wake up within 48 hours. Nino asks if she'll be up to the task, Doc says no one is at first, but she will. Construction seems to be going well. Nino says he's lining up some business dealings overseas so there'll be plenty to be offered to the VIPs of the VU. They talk about the potential slip up regarding Nino's name in connection with the VU, and Nino says Chef was pretty upset about it.

They talk about the second level of the VU, and The Doctor says he has 2 other people lined up if Slim falls through. Nino says he really likes Slim for the position. Arthur expresses his doubts about Slim's ability to let go of his identity. The Doctor says he still needs to talk to Sun Moon about the second level, Nino says he's still talking about the hotel idea he had.

The Doctor tells Nino to stay away from the VU after the tsunami and Nino leaves.

**Coop's Mid-Life Crisis:**

TL;DR: Coop tells Nino of his unhappiness with the current DOJ state of affairs. Nino offers him a place at Sahara but Coop is still unsure. They question people their opinions of organizations in Los Santos and run into Olivia.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino picks up Coop from his house and they go for a boat ride. They jump on the Yacht near the pier. Coop says he's having some sort of midlife crisis and doesn't know what to do anymore. He says he handed in his resignation as a judge to LaBarre, but he ripped it up and denied it. Coop then put in his LOA and thinks about sending LaBarre another resignation. He tells Nino that he's not happy with the direction the DOJ is going (LaBarrio etc) and that this isn't the vision he had when he still was the Chief Justice. He's not sure what he wants to do, he thinks about keeping his Bar License and still practicing law. Nino offers him a job, but tells him he'll get fired if he doesn't show up to work

They talk about funding businesses, Coop says he'd love to help people out with businesses. The boat poofed, so they swim back to shore. Nino knocks out a NPC and steals his ATV, then crashes it into a local on the way back to the boathouse and they run the rest of the way.

They get the car and decide to go meet some people.They talk to a man called Jack at the Pink Cage who works for Cluckin Bell. He doesn't know Nino's the owner of Cluckin Bell, so Coop asks him some questions about Cluckin Bell and their management. Some woman comes by in a tow truck and tries to tow Nino's car, and he immediately finds out it's Olivia in disguise (hiding because she emptied the Azteca stash house).

They talk to another guy who says his name is Double D and he just got out of jail. Coop asks him what he thinks of the DOJ, and he says he got what he deserved for killing his ex, so he's got no issues with the DOJ. Chang joins them, Coop tells him he's on LOA. Nino then asks Olivia to show Chang her disguise accent, and Chang immediately recognizes her too. She then tries out an AYAYA-EMS voice, which works much better.

Coop then asks Chang some questions about people in this city and Cluckin Bell. The talk about food, movies etc.

They drive around some more, talk about the golfing they'll do later [trust meeting] and then they both decide to get some rest.

[not collection]

**Executive Summary: A fashion show is suddenly cut short, a boat tour has unfortunate ends, and Camila continues as security for Nino.**

Nino runs into "Shelly", who later outs himself as Shady Grady, the sovereign citizen. Apparently he's disguising himself because the DOJ wants to 51-50 him.

Nino goes to Harmony to get his S15 repaired. He tells Jordan and JJ about his car being blown up the previous day and the Russians not admitting to it. He sees on Twitter that Leslie Ling is in town.

Nino meets with Anto at Garage Q and gives him Javier's and Bruce's phone numbers so he can get a job at Cluckin' Bell. They talk about women and Anto wants to go after Thalia for Nino (sexually, not stabby-stabby). Some weirdo shows up and wants to give them back rubs for money, they tell him to fuck off. They continue talking about women, sports etc.

Nino runs into some weird guy at Benny's who talks about being a gun dealer. He later admits he was lying and they plan to race, but the race mechanic seems to be scuffed and they agree to do it another time.

Nino calls Curtis (Ballas). They want to meet, however, their schedules don't align at the moment and agree to meet at a later time when they are both free.

Nino calls Dexx, he says he's about to meet someone they've been at war with for a long time [Mehdi assumes Ballas].

Nino calls Kiki. He wants to pay her 5 grand for a Sahara International promotion at her fashion show.They later meet at the Vinewood Bowl. Nino hints at having sex with her, she says she'd rather "slam her clit between 2 bricks". They talk about chlamydia, then Sun Moon shows up. Kiki says the fashion show will be at the Fleeca Bank at Legion and that there will be a car show, all they have to do is paint their cars orange to win a prize. Kiki leaves, Nino and Sun Moon assume she's being forced to do a bank job and the fashion show is just a front. They then talk about the Gang Meeting and Sun Moon's hotel idea. Nino then asks about the rental car idea for Fast Lane, Sun Moon says he hasn't thought about it much.

Nino calls Leslie Ling. They plan to meet at Kiki's event and talk about why Nino hasn't heard a word from him in 2 months. Nino and Sun Moon drive to Legion Square for the event.

The event seems to be going well, then suddenly someone starts shooting a class 2 and chaos ensues.

Nino gets a call from Camila, they meet at the Legion Square Ammunation. He tells her about the shooting at Kiki's fashion show. They drive around talking about random shit, Nino crashes, the usual.

Nino gets a call from Anto, who's asking about what happened at the fashion show as apparently he drove by and saw Nino there. Nino suspects he had something to do with it, but then he has to end the call. (because Mehdi's vape juice guy just arrived at his house). He calls him again, Anto denies having anything to do with it, until Nino mentions the UC cop in a gnome mask. Anto then says he "heard through the grapevine" that "someone in a black mask" dropped that UC cop, basically admitting he was involved.

Nino and Camila meet with Eugene at Sahara, they talk about the shooting at the fashion show. Apparently, the shooting had nothing to do with the show, it was just a crazy coincidence of some people trying to take an undercover cop who was attending the show hostage for a bank job and the cops opening fire.

Eugene then tells him about the original plan: The fashion show was set up by Bovice through Kiki, because he suspected that Kiki snitched. Eugene was supposed to take out 2 people at the show and put Bovice's ID on them.

Nino then gives Eugene a new contract (2 VGs, 60 Gold Bars, 200 Watches) and leaves. Nino then pays Camila 10k for her security services.

Nino and Camila arrive in Sandy to go on Tony's boat tour. Nino talks to a guy (Bear McCree?) who says he's a cop. He mentions some report saying that Nino lit the Judges' chamber on fire. Him and Nino then talk about the cops not working with Nino when it comes to issues with Cluckin' Bell.

They go on the boat tour, dive for the UFO, multiple people die.

Nino calls Arthur. He says he's gonna start to lay down the breadcrumbs for people to figure out what they need to be doing. The patient is apparently getting restless, so he might have to wake them up earlier than intended.

Nino and Camila meet with Jerry. They talk about the lawsuit against the PD for how Nino was treated last night when he was trying to help Officer Reinhardt. Jerry says that criminally, Svensen will be fine, but civilly the PD will have to pay him for damages etc.

Nino and Camila wait for Eugene at Sahara. Camila tells him that her name isn't really Camila, but she won't tell Nino who she is at this time. Eugene arrives with the stuff for Nino's contract, Nino pays him $50,000.

They go to Benny's and run into Kelly on steroids. Kelly asks for money and threatens them, Nino gets out of the car and confronts him. Kelly punches Nino, Camila shoots at him when he gets into the S15, but apparently the car is bulletproof. Kelly they gets out, Camila punches him, he knocks her out. They go to the hospital, Nino checks if the car really is bulletproof [and the server restarts].

[Mehdi gets on Nino again since he hasn't heard from the Psychologists about Garfield.] He runs into Ducky and asks him for a medical report for his lawsuit, Ducky agrees to ask the local doctors about it.

[Mehdi then gets on Garfield for his psychological evaluation. After the psych eval he hops back on Nino.]

He plans to meet with CG to give them another contract. While he's waiting at the beach, he receives a text from The Doctor.

He meets with CG, gives them a contract (100 Gold Bars, 100 Rolex), then they talk about doing jobs and Pixerium. CG jerks him off, Nino takes the suicide pill, Chang drives him to the hospital. He talks to Choi about Viagra. Mel joins them, they talk about cock rings and their prices. Mel suggests to use twine instead of cock rings. Eugene joins them, they talk about it some more.

Nino runs into Bruce and some Judges. He isolates Bruce for a private talk and asks what he thinks about the "payment thing". He tells him Vinny didn't do an event the day before, Nino says they might have to take care of it themselves. They talk about helping some of the small entrepreneurs, Nino says he wants to budget out an amount of Sahara's cashflow to help people out with businesses in the future. They talk about a possible custom office building for Sahara, then they part ways.

[Mehdi switches to Garfield for part 2 of his psych eval.]

[He switches back to Nino] and runs into Zee Mathers. They talk about her business, she presents the idea to buy a winnebago and use it as a food truck, which Nino thinks is a great idea. Zee then invites Nino to her wedding, taking place one month from now.

Nino then meets with Erin. He speeds through the city and kills a cyclist. Erin tells him she wants to start an organized assassination game. They switch cars and go to the hospital, where they hear that the guy Nino hit earlier was a cadet. Nino picks up Ducky and takes him for a ride. They talk about cars and their handling. He drops off Ducky at MRPD and picks up Erin again. They talk about rumors that mayoral campaigns are coming soon. Nino gets a call from Chef and drops Erin off to meet with Grove.

**Grove's Businesses:**

TL;DR: Nino and GSF discuss weed, cocaine, and hardware. Nino inquires about Bayo asking about the VU - Grove says they didn't talk.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino meets with Grove. They introduce him to Devin, a new member of their gang. Nino asks about their weed operation and they still seem to be in the business. He asks about the street price, they say around $100/q oz. They seem to be interested in selling their weed in bulk.

He asks how their other businesses are going, and Ghost tells him that no southside gang but Grove will get their hands on coke since they got a deal with the supplier. Nino asks if they're good on hardware, Chef says they could use a re-up on guns to get back into that business.

Nino asks about the VU, and the time Bayo came up to him saying that someone told him Nino bought it. They say they didn't talk about that stuff to anyone and only the OGs even know about him buying it. They then talk about the Barber Shop and the VU for a bit.

Nino gets his car fixed at QuickFix and takes the mechanic's Civic for a test drive. He crashes, goes to the hospital, and when he leaves he runs into the guy he ran over earlier. They accuse him, he denies it, Nino leaves.

Nino talks to Olivia. She tells him that she left the Aztecas because the gang life wasn't for her, so if she'd get killed that's probably why. Tony shows up, Nino lets him drive the S15.

They fuck with Pat Down (the security guard who witnessed Nino run over the cadet) for a bit, crash, hospital.

Nino calls Ramee, but he's busy running from the cops after a bank job. Nino then picks up Erin at the court house. They talk to Jack (Cookie-Mask) for a bit and Erin wants to hire him as her intern at Sahara. They meet with Bruce at the Legion Square Garage. Erin gives her new intern the job to acquire any materials/items he thinks are worth something. Nino goes to meet with Ramee and runs into Nathan Larson. He gives him 7k to organize a community event.

Nino meets with Ramee to break down a coke pillow and get his fix. They find out that a pillow now breaks down into 10 bags instead of 5. They run around on coke and Chang tells Nino that be was behind Olivia leaving the Aztecas and stealing all their shit (that's how CG got the coke). They also tell Nino about the Vagos getting raided after CG fucked them up.

Nino then calls Erin to do some coke with her. He meets her and Bruce at the court house, and Coop is also there. Coop just says "oh, it's Nino" and runs to an unmarked cop car, gets in and drives off. They assume someone's about to get raided. Nino then goes to sleep.

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/491166708

**Executive Summary: Nino and Javier test cars and coke. A Speed Sex event with Sahara as the sponsor is planned. Nino receives a tarot card reading.**

Nino meets with LB. He asks them about the weed market and how much it's worth, since Lucky seems to be interested in buying weed. He then offers them the contract and asks how much they could produce, Buddha says at least 1k ounces a week. LB also ask him for Thermite since it's hard to get the materials to craft it, Nino says he might be able to import some.

Nino picks up Payne. He tells him that the Speedy situation is cleared up. Nino wonders how he managed to do it, Payne says they just had a good talk. They continue to banter about World of Warcraft and Coop/Payne not being around after Tuesday. Car crash, hospital, the usual Nino stuff.

They leave the hospital and find out Nino's car got stolen. They head up to the tracking location and find Boris next to Nino's blown up car. Boris says he didn't steal it and Nino tells him to find whoever did it.

Javier suddenly is standing next to them. Him and Payne exchange some hilarious banter, but once Payne finds out that Javier is rich he changes his demeanor.

Nino and Javier go for a ride in Javier's car, and Nino's very impressed with its performance. They talk about Bruce and Sahara business. Nino then tells him that they're working with the winery. Sahara will help with management/hiring and in exchange they get exclusive rights to export wine out of the city.

They plan an event for Sahara. They want to help promote Zee's Diner with a Speed Sex (think: Speed Dating) event where the winners gotta have sex at the end to get the prize. Car crash, hospital, harmony repairs. Vinny calls, Nino tells him about the event idea.

Nino withdraws 10k from the bank and introduces Javier to Jordan and (?). Poppy is a new mechanic and tells of the derivation of her name in relation to Cutie Pie with a story that doesn’t make sense time-wise. Nino rambles about Pewdiepie. Javier asks if Nino knows he’s from Puerto Rico. They discuss Puerto Rico in a 7/11 with a cop.

Cameron calls. Puerto Rican talk continues in car. Someone is tailing. Nino rams the side of the car and flies out of the vehicle. He’s passing out fixing the car. They make it to Cameron, who hands over some coke. Javier wants to know the origin of the coke. Satisfied with the answer, Javier gets some coke as well. Nino and Javier thoroughly enjoy the coke. Cameron gives an advanced repair kit to Nino.

Javier is given keys to the Skyline and they leave Cameron for Sahara. Still with the effects of the coke, Javier crashes multiple times. Somehow, they both make it, Nino blacking out. They cut some more lines of coke, with Vinny watching.

Nino and Vinny enter the office; it’s raining. They talk about Vinny’s new look. Uchiha will be the new bachelor, with a 20k prize, and the yacht as a location. Vinny drops a note; he wants 30 Tec 9, 20 scorpions, and 5 AKs: Nino will put in a request. Nino tells a dismayed Vinny he has to do math. Vinny tells of the Vagos actions against CG last night.

Nino runs into Bruce and asks for him to oversee/observe Vinny’s event for Sahara. He passes over Vinny’s number. Bruce is to value the planning, turnout, and marketing of this Bachelor event. Bruce will hold onto the cash money, now 15k. At a nearby bank, Nino transfers over the money.

Nino talks with Milton about the Vagos situation with the judges. Milton sends Nino Jerry’s number.

Charles stops by and asks how many payments Nino has left on his Skyline. They plan to meet later.

Nino and Buddha chat on the phone about weed.

Sur Lee pulls over Nino; debate on if he was speeding or not. He gets a warning.

The yellow pages indicate something about a Chamberlain Capital; Nino is curious so places a call. Nino requests an appointment. An officer crashes his car so Nino asks if he wants a ride to Mission Row. Still on the phone, Nino and the cop pretend a kidnapping is take place.

Nino meets Lauren, a cadet. She’s taking photos of her car for Instagram. She doesn’t seem content with her life. Nino offers a Nino Cappuccino. She's oblivious. They discuss mattresses.

Nino receives a call from Identification(?).

Nino meets with a member of Grove, James Mcafee(?). He’s interested in a business that provides connections in the city. Nino takes down his number.

Driving along, Nino spots the card reader. Hell yes, reading time. In the blackjack secluded room, Nino rolls the dice and awaits their result.

**Card Reading:**

TL;DR: Nino listens to his card results.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Card 1: The Emperor. Success and achievement is coming via support of someone. Confident to influence people and events due to authority. Expect greater status in life. If victim of ill will, Nino will win in the end.

Card 2: The Hangman. You want it all, why should have to give something/someone up. Maybe feeling like a victim, not going as planned, but trust this is passage from one part of life to the next. Things will resolve themselves overtime, whatever the outcome will be to Nino’s benefit.

Card 3: The Star. Fear of future and lacking in self-belief, afraid that hopes will be dashed. Signifies joy and fulfillment. Good health will provide new zest for life, if considering a change, should go for it because gifts.

Nino questions the reader. They talk about disappearances, and the reader gives a story about a clown with a hatchet who he downed.

Card 4: The Moon. Through the fear and difficult path, Nino should keep going. New and unexpected possibilities.

Card 5: The High Priestess. A devil is insecurity; it taunts, but only has power if Nino listens. Consider instincts.

Card 6: The Devil. Maybe a commitment of a relationship, or a final opportunity to change course because an addiction temptation will not lead to a happy ending.

Nino mutters, pussy, Thalia. He says he needs to go; he pays 3k. He considers Thalia’s intentions.

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/470598240

**Executive Summary: Hardware price volatility is introduced. Nino adds illegals to his r34 and s15 and meets a sovereign citizen. Nino and Joe enjoy coke.**

Nino runs into Pennywise, a deep-voiced clown. They talk about weird stuff involving fingers in asses. After some talk back and forth, with a gang member looking on, another clown pulls up and drives off with Pennywise.

Dupont pulls over Nino. They both make sexual comments. She gives Nino an automatic citation and bills him $750. Nino’s record apparently reads “lying jerk face” in the MDT. The two clowns reappear. [Kina’s head explodes] Nino drives to a nearby shop for food. The clowns follow, and Nino overhears that one of them has cocaine.

Returning his s15 in the garage, Nino runs up the courthouse steps. Nino learns Siri is engaged to Zee. Zee talks about her business and menu. Nino checks his record. The minor charges are adding up.

Now in the Skyline, Nino goes to Benny’s and runs into Eugene.

Vinny starts his test with Tessa, with Nino back seating (literally and figuratively). Vinny does some parking maneuvers and Tessa calmly judges. Vinny calls LaBarre and learns of his new house location. Nino says he has something for Vinny.

Back in the Skyline, Nino and Vinny discuss the change in the selling of cars. The prices are lower and there are no limits anymore(?). Nino hands over a sheet of prices for hardware and warns of their volatility: inflation and deflation should be expected. Vinny tells of a huge gain from his last vault heist.

Speedy picks up Nino. Talk on cars. Speedy is still trying to decide what to do about the judges moving into the barrio. Speedy thinks they’re intruding, but it doesn’t want jail for life. Nino gives a perspective: due to their close proximity, if they are witnesses to anything, the judges cannot preside over the case. Topic switch: hardware. Nino gives Speedy a list of hardware with good corresponding prices. Speedy is very happy with the list. Speedy asks for a bundle order. Speedy informs of his current conflict with CG. He sees it as target practice, as the groups are not really awake at the same times.

Speedy gives 180k cash to Nino, who deposits 50k into the bank then immediately puts 110k into the Cluckin' Bell account. Shortly thereafter, Nino is paid $1,317,710. Car talk with Speedy.

In the terminal, a new email from Morpheus indicates payment for Cluckin' Bell issued at $1,317,710. Beauté: $185,000. Sangre: $129,710. Bu7ch3r: $184,000. Recent purchases acknowledged and deducted.

Nino spots Tony drifting and they stop to talk. They discuss cars and Tony wants to test drive the Skyline. They go to the LB house and briefly meet Curtis and Ellie. Tony then drives the s15. Nino’s head explodes.

Back in the city. Nino facetimes to Tony someone urinating. Just as soon as Nino gets in Tony’s car, gang shit happens and Nino takes his Skyline out of the garage and just drives around. A minute later, and Tony is badly injured on the ground yelling for help. So much for gang shit. Nino takes him to the hospital.

Ducky treats Tony. He sports a buzzcut now. Nino congrats MJ, new chief of EMS. Nino and Tony race back to the LB house and Tony is dropped off.

Nino meets Tommy, JJ, and Olivia at Fastlane. He wants his two new cars upgraded and illegals added. Sun Moon appears. Sun Moon drives Nino to get his Skyline to bring to Fastlane as well.

Nino crashes and makes it to the hospital. He talks with Frank. Ducky treats him and Nino inquires about Ducky’s new look. Ducky asks if Nino is checking him out. Lab results are back; does Nino have chlamydia? Results say positive. All other known STIs: negative. Fuck. Nino questions Ducky in front of another patient, Angel. Discussion on if Nino slept with Angel. Who gave him chlamydia?! Ducky recommends a treatment.

Nino stops by the Fastlane. He pays Tommy 115k. JJ is there drinking coffee. Tommy gives back 90k. Tommy and Annabelle are split. Outside, Nino talks with Fake Bovice/DC, a manager at QF, and John Jamerson(?). Business introductions shared. Tommy brings out Nino’s first new car, a r34. Eugene drives by and decides to stop. He’s got a new truck. Back in the shop, Nino pays Tommy 90k for illegals – Tommy gets to work. Olivia arrives. Tommy takes the first car out for a quick spin to test, then Nino returns it to a garage. He rides his bike back to Fastlane.

At Fastlane again, Tommy and Olivia begin to work on Nino’s second new car, a s15. Tommy talks about future car meets. Car discussion, now Nino wants a new car, a rx7. Illegals are done, Nino parks it to save. Eugene drifts into a tree. Tommy takes Nino for a spin in the rx7. Tommy expresses excitement for losing cops in it and brags about his record. Nino takes his s15 out of the garage to test on the highway. He slams into the back of a truck.

[After the restart] Nino takes his s15 out to drive again. He notices a man riding a bike with no arms. When questioned if he was alright, the man becomes self-conscious regarding Nino’s attention. It’s awkward.

Nino checks his terminal. Lucky has a quest that involves fake news propaganda. Lucky wants to know about the weed in Los Santos.

Nino calls JJ. They plan to meet under the pretense of Nino’s new car.

Nino meets with JJ. Car talk, illegals vs stock vs tuning performance. Nino hands over prices for hardware. He says it will be very volatile. This will be easy to move and there is a lot of room for profit, says JJ. JJ has an idea to present to Nino later.

Nino calls Tony. Tony needs 30 minutes.

Nino sees Garrett and Chang in front of the courthouse steps. Big D and Charles pull up, with a cop tail. CG and Nino try to create confusion on who the cop is trying to pull over. Garrett gets in Nino’s car and Nino drives. Garrett informs Nino that a green gang member name-dropped Nino. Nino says he is not too concerned and recounts yesterday’s events involving Reinhart. Conversation moves to cops and raids. Garrett mentions Allen and the Russians – the latter shot down the former. Allen is still in ICU. Garrett talks about the Vagos and CG. Car talk.

They get pulled over by Frank and Esteban (Buddha’s new cop). A sovereign citizen stops by the police car and informs enforcement that he will proceed to rob the nearby store. The cops have a new focus now. Nino and Garrett bet 5k: Nino, that the man will get away, and Garrett, that the man will not get away. After a phone call Garrett plans to rob something. Nino meets Dusty, some guy on a motorcycle.

Joe calls Nino. He sounds like he is in a loud bar. They plan to meet.
Nino meets the sovereign citizen and realizes he won the bet vs Garrett. He talks a bit and questions what a sovereign citizen is. Joe joins in the parking lot. The sovereign citizen doesn’t have coke but does have a gun. He shoots a few bullets to demonstrate. Cops don’t show and they read into the situation. More discussion. A random guy shows up. This new guy does security and says he is not a cop. Nino and Joe leave in the Skyline. So does a cop, right after them.

The cops check Nino’s papers and license and let Nino go with just a warning. Nino brings up the sovereign citizen topic.

Nino and Joe ramble about the passage of time and its effect on perspective. They do coke. They now ramble about drugs, responsibility, political leverage, legality, safety, big pharmaceutical company effect, FDA, blind trust, car gas smell in relation to cocaine production, women, etc. as Nino flies the Skyline through the city. Nino inquires about the winery and Joe explains his difficulties in running it along with his plans. They discuss clean records and the challenges of the police. Talk loops back to sovereign citizenship.

Pulled over again. Nino and Joe are asked to get out of the car and put their hands on their head. THE Park Ranger Clarkson and the other officer (RatedEpicz) then lets them free. Nino retrieves the bag of coke he stuffed into the glovebox.

Nino and Joe are invited to a 24/7 and Nino orders 2 bottles of Grey Goose and champagne. Outside, 2 gang Grove members in masks say they stopped to check to make sure Nino was alright. They set up a future meet. Back inside, Joe and Nino watch as the shop worker constantly keeps hitting his brother with a bat.

Back in the Skyline on the road again. Discussion on challenges of running a business again. Siz calls, Nino invites him to the vineyard.

Siz arrives. Introductions given. Siz is offered to work at the winery; he wants to know exactly what the responsibilities would be. The informal interview commences, Joe learns Siz dabbles in casual terrorism. Hmm. He is a hard worker, though, and seemingly trustworthy. Joe and Siz exchange numbers. Siz reminds them both of Erin and Nathan.

### **Episode 81 [Aug 20, 2019]**

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/470383430

**Executive Summary: Personal security is hired and new cars are acquired. Nino’s restrained after attempting to help an officer. Nino makes some checks on businesses in LS. Speedy’s barrio is invaded.**

Nino runs into Camila, who kinda looks and sounds like Kayden. She needs a job, so Nino hires her as security. They agree on the code phrase "Code Brown" if he needs her.

**Buying New Cars:**

TL;DR: Nino test drives S15, R34 and RX7. He buys the S15 and the R34.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

They go down to Fast Lane so Nino can buy another car.
Camila goes nuts and actually fires off shots when Nino says the code phrase as a test. Nino then test drives the R34 Skyline. It goes well for a while and Nino's very impressed with the handling, but it wouldn't be Nino driving if he didn't manage to crash the car, ejaculate out the window and watch the car explode.

They get to the hospital, Nino has a long talk with Ducky about chlamydia and alternative medicine. They then leave the hospital and head back to Fast Lane. Camila explains that she neutralized the "threat" and the car is gone.

They then test drive the S15. They get pulled over after Nino speeds past a cop through a red light. As usual he just gets a warning though (#UCPerks). Nino loves the car. They head back to Fast Lane and Nino asks to test drive the RX7. He doesn't like it as much as the previous two cars. One big crash later they return to Fast Lane.

Nino buys both the R34 and the S15 for $111,600 down payment in total. While they're trying to do the sale, there's a shootout right outside Fast Lane. Nino sends Camila in and she helps Curtis kill someone. They then finish the sale.

Nino sends Morpheus an E-Mail with a receipt containing the amount of chicken truck deliveries and the contracts that have been collected.

They head back up to Cluckin' Bell. Nino puts out a tweet saying that all Cluckin' Bell employees need to get up to the factory. Javier shows up and tells them about the restructure that's coming up.

Then Camila takes over the stage and gives a speech about security. They have a Q&A session, someone gets fired, Nino races Javier back to Sahara.

Bruce joins Nino, Javier and Camila at Sahara. They talk about the company restructure and Bruce gets promoted to Rank 4 (Manager). Bruce and Javier get full hiring and firing power. They seem to get along very well and are gonna take care of the restructure together.

Nino and Camila then go to the hospital so Nino can get tested. He wants to know if he still has chlamydia. Ducky gets a cock swab, a urine sample and a blood sample.

Nino gets a call from Sun Moon. They agree to meet. They talk about Fast Lane, Nino pitches his idea of giving out rental cars. Sun Moon has thought about it in the past, but is worried about the cars being used in crimes.

Sun Moon then asks him about the new manager he just hired. Apparently Bruce also works for Sun Moon and he's very cryptic about it.

They then go to race the S15 against Sun Moon's Supra. Camila leaves at Legion Square garage.

Nino and Sun Moon race up to the gas station in Paleto. Nino crashes on the highway, his car goes boom, Sun Moon drives him to the hospital. Nino then gets out his R34, they go up north and start a circuit race at Paleto gas station. The race starts, Nino crashes into locals twice within the first lap, then decides to just send the car [since the restart's coming in a couple minutes].

[After restart] there's a DOJ announcement with the new penal code. [Mehdi spends some time explaining the new jail time cap to chat.]

**Meeting with JJ:**

TL;DR: Allen vs. Russians, Harmony vs. Bikers, Raja, Gun market.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino meets with JJ. They talk about Allen being in ICU and the whole Russian situation.

JJ then tells him about their war with the bikers. Apparently the bikers wanted to collect tax for using the chop shop, and JJ paid the tax in the form of bullets into Reed's head. But the war is over now and they came to an agreement where Harmony gets one 8-hour timeslot to tax people at the chop shop. Nino then tells JJ how he's disappointed with the bikers since they dropped his name to Raja. He also tells him that he's got Raja's journal and that Raja is in possession of Yang's journal. Nino wants to give Raja's journal to JJ so he can show it to Manny to confirm it's the real journal.

Nino then tells JJ that Raja told him he'd forward the information in Yang's journal to the people affected. JJ confirms that he's been doing that.

Nino then tells JJ about the Vanilla Unicorn. He says that he's gonna be hands off but the VU will be the place to be. He makes the reference to the movie Blade and says that he'd be surprised what can be lurking in a broken down facility. They then talk about the gun market coming to a halt because of Pixerium.

JJ then says that Jordan knows the guns are coming from Nino, but that he didn't tell him anything. They agree to talk about it at a later point [off-stream].

Nino then drives back to the city to meet Saab. He sees Officer Reinhardt getting run over on the highway and stops to help. Out of nowhere, Officer Svensen runs him over and puts him in cuffs. Reinhardt then tells him to let Nino go and that he was just trying to help, and Nino tells Svensen that he'll sue the shit out of him.

Bruce sees Nino on the side of the road and stops to see what's up. Nino then tells him he needs one of their lawyers and invites Bruce to the talk with Saab. Nino then asks for the name of the EMS that's been treating him (Rowen Hunter) for his lawsuit against Svensen.

They meet with Saab. Saab shows them the products BBC has produced.

Nino says he'll talk with his contacts to get the business going. Saab then tells him he also wants to add a towing/mobile repair section to BBC, and Nino thinks it's a great idea.

Nino offers that BBC drivers get access to Cluckin' Bell trucks. They handle pick up and delivery of those parts, Sahara handles selling them.

Nino then tells Bruce that's what he's been trying to do with Sahara, help people create businesses. They talk about the meeting with Javier, Bruce says it was very good and that Javier needs to be bumped on the "discordian".

Nino then gives Bruce the TL;DR on the Jazz/Yang situation that caused the restructure.

Nino picks up Siz from Fast Lane. They talk about the contracts and Nino finds out that Siz likes to kill people who break into houses in Mirror Park. Nino then overhears *someone on Siz' radio talking about Aluminium (???).* They go to Siz' house to pick up the stuff for Nino's contract. They talk about Allen and Siz finds out that he's in the ICU. Apparently Allen was helping him with a deal and he doesn't know what's gonna happen now. Raja offered him the same kind of deal for a better price but he doesn't really want to deal with Raja since he heard some weird stuff about him. Nino drops off Siz.

The Doctor calls Nino. He asks if everything went alright, then he tells him that he's scouting out a location for a criminal rehabilitation program to legitimatize the Vanilla Unicorn's future earnings. The plan is to have a building near the VU (Fallen Angels Mission) as some kind of ex-con rehab center, manual work up at the Lumber Yard to earn driving licenses back and truck driving jobs for those who got their licenses.

Nino then goes to check out Zee's diner. It seems to be going really well, and Nino tells Zee that she can also reach out to Bruce or Javier if she ever needs assistance. They then talk about the menu and Zee offers to exclusively use Cluckin' Bell chicken, which Nino thinks is a great idea.

Payne calls and says he's in a big predicament. Nino picks him up and Payne says he has reason to believe he's under attack. Milton apparently sold Judge LaBarre a house in Speedy's barrio and gave the keys to Soze and possibly other cops. Payne is afraid that Speedy's gonna be pissed at him. He says that LaBarre did this because Speedy allegedly shot a Judge in front of the court house. Payne wants to fire Milton, but Nino warns him that Milton's probably the only one of Payne's employees that actually sells houses. Payne responds that he's not actually gonna fire him but he's really heated at the moment.

They head down to Jamestown and meet a Vago who says that he's noticed a lot of new neighbors.  Apparently 2 Judges own houses in the Vagos Apartment Complex and Soze owns an apartment there. Payne tells the Vagos to tell Speedy that he's working on fixing this.

[After Payne's game crashes Nino picks him up again.] Nino tells him he needs to relax and create a scandal in the media around the Judges/Soze regarding gentrification in the hood, thus giving him a good reason to revoke their lease. Payne says he's probably gonna fire Milton, tell Speedy he doesn't care about what he's gonna do about Milton's mistake and offer him some good deals. Nino replies that he's cool with that and he'll just hire Milton after Payne fires him.

Nino runs into Shaw. He talks about suing Officer Svensen and appealing the verdict of Judge LaBarre on his coke charges. They agree that Shaw will take care of the appeal and Jerry will take the civil case.

Payne calls and asks Nino to join him and Milton for a talk regarding the Vagos situation. They talk about how they can fix this, Payne suggests they lie and say they were threatened by the Judges.

Milton then says he only did it because he was scared about the Judges denying Gladys' business license if he didn't help them. Payne suspends Milton for 24 hours and tells him to go undercover.

Nino asks Milton if he's looking for a job, Milton says maybe but he really loves being a realtor. Payne then immediately reinstates Milton. He tells him that if he runs into Speedy he should let him know that the Judges threatened them and Payne will take care of it.

### **Episode 80 [Aug 19, 2019]**

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/470033291

**Executive Summary: Allen is in the ICU, the Doctor provides an update, and Boe drops some information.**

Nino calls Curtis to set him up with the Keyholder, but Curtis is about to do a job and says he'll call him back when he's done.
[Mehdi says that] Nino got an E-Mail from Pillbox Medical saying Allen's in ICU, so Nino needs to find out what happened.
Curtis calls back. They agree to set up the meeting with the Keyholder. Curtis also says that they got everything for Nino's contract.

Nino heads to MRPD to find out what happened to Allen. He crashes into Annabelle and someone else, Annabelle hops into his car and they both go to PD. Annabelle tells Nino how ridiculous the justice system has become, since she got like 15 months in jail and $450 fine for involuntary manslaughter. Nino runs into LaBarre. They talk about Nino's court case. Apparently Nino can appeal LaBarre's ruling, even thought Coop said he can't.

Nino meets a lawyer, Elon Mack. Nino gets a call from Balla Curtis, they agree to catch up later. Nino then talks to Dep. Columbo about Allen, but he doesn't know what happened to him. He refers him to Archer. Archer can only tell him that it indeed was a shootout that happened at PDM, but since it's an ongoing investigation he can't tell him more.

Nino gets a message from Morpheus saying that the Keyholder is being lined up. He calls Curtis and tells him to stand by. [Mehdi's game crashes.
Mehdi gets back in the server.] He gets a message from Morpheus saying the Keyholder will be in the University of Los Santos parking lot for 15 minutes.
Nino calls Curtis and relays the info.
Nino then runs into Gladys. She's upset because Payne won't allow Milton to run the hotdog Restaurant with her. Nino tells her that he talked to Shaw about it and that she shouldn't be worried about her criminal record.
He tells her to go to LaBarre, show him the video and her business plan, and if it doesn't go right he'd even buy it up and transfer ownership (?).

**Nino's Hunt:**

TL;DR: Nino pries for information surrounding the events that lead to Allen's admission into the ICU. The culprit are the Russians - Nino warns Boris not to fuck with Allen.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino heads to PDM, but nobody is there. He calls someone who works for PDM and tells them to come over. Nino asks about Allen, and they agree to go somewhere a little more private to talk about it.
They go to the helipad. The worker tells him that he showed up at PDM and there were 3 russian guys surrounding Allen. They were trying to extort Allen. The worker asked what was up, but he had to leave, so he went around back and a shootout ensued.
One of the russians got downed, Allen and the worker got downed aswell.
Allen then went to the hospital. He called the worker (Greg) and told him he'd take care of shit. That's the last he heard of him.

Nino drops Greg off at PDM. Curtis then calls to tell Nino everything went well with the Keyholder, and Nino tells him to put the contract stuff in the house, the keyholder will take care of it.
Nino calls Boris. They agree to a meeting to talk about the whole Allen situation.
While Nino is waiting for Boris, he receives a text from Javier telling him he's in the city.
Boris shows up. He tells him he was training some new members. They went over to PDM to extort some money, and Allen pulled out a gun, so they shot him.
He also tells him that apparently later his people shot Allen again. Nino is confused about why they want money from Allen, and Boris says it's protection money.
Nino asks what they're doing with PDM since their turf is the Docks, and Boris tells him that PDM was an older thing and they only wanted to talk to him. It only escalated because Allen pulled out a gun.
Boris then tells him about the second situation with Allen. Apparently his boys followed Allan and wanted to talk to him. There was 3 other guys with Allen and they started shooting the Russians, then they got dropped.
Apparently Allen sent a hitman after Boris, because he got downed by the same guy wearing all black within 30 minutes.
Nino tells Boris not to fuck with Allen again, that he'll talk to him about the hitman, and they conclude the meeting.

**"The Doctor":**

TL;DR: Nino meets with the Doctor, who updates him on the VU's construction and program progress. Several keywords: freezer, table, front, Otto, Slim, levels, bodies, patients.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino meets with "Arthur" at the Vanilla Unicorn. He tells him "they are ready" when he needs them. Also there seem to be some new additions to the VU, a garage that leads to a freezer (?).
Nino tells Arthur about Bayo asking about the VU ownership, but Arthur doesn't know how he got the info.
They talk about the Gang Meeting at the VU and how they did as they were instructed. Nino will have his "table" by the end of the month.
Nino tells Arthur about Mother being interested in the VU and how she might be a good choice to run the front.
Nino asks if Otto knows about what's going on, Arthur says Otto's been doing too many drugs and that he's not who he used to be.
Arthur tells Nino he should get Slim to run Level 2 and gatekeep Level 3 (?).
Nino asks if Arthur needs any more bodies. Arthur says he needs a female, one that looks close enough to "the patient".
Arthur then gives Nino keys to the VU. Nino asks what he should call him now, Arthur replies "The Doctor". Then Nino leaves.

Nino calls Javier. He tells him about the Cluckin' Bell restructure and Allen being in ICU, and gives him Bruce's number. He then tells him about Jazz working with a CI and that he fired her.
So now they gotta figure out how to replace Jazz and expand their ability to hand out these paychecks. They agree to meet in the next 1-2 hours.

Nino meets with Vinny. There's a big issue, the Russians. Vinny retells the story of what happened to Allen. He also tells him about the Russians taxing the Cluckin' Bell truck drivers. Nino doesn't give a shit about the last part though.
Nino also says he doesn't get in the middle of other people's business, so if CG wanna fuck up the Russians they can go ahead.
Vinny then asks about the gun price list so he can start selling the hardware. Nino gives it to him.
Vinny then hands over the stuff for Ninos contract. They talk some more about which guns are popular on the street and Nino tells Vinny to keep him updated.

Nino heads up north to join a race. Vinny's waiting there for him and he hands over the cash for the contract.
The race begins. Nino has a great start, but as we all expected he crashes within 2 minutes and finishes last. Second race, Nino does good for like half a lap, crashes hard, bandages the rest of the way, dies after finishing 1 of 2 laps.

Nino meets with Funny Man. He tells him that the job with Murphy is done, but there's someone else that put a hit on him(?), so that made things awkward.
They hear something outside and change location. Funny Man tells him that Murphy seems depressed, that it seems like he wants to die. Apparently he doesn't want Funny Man to be the one that kills him.
Funny Man tells Nino about his past history with Murphy, how he tried to kill him about 6 months ago but someone found him in the water.
He also tells Nino that he thinks Murphy got the "mind your own business" message, he just didn't seem to know who it came from.
Funny Man then tells him how he finally found out who killed his friend Simon Harth after a year of investigating.
Nino tells him to keep an eye on Murphy and they part ways.

Nino goes to the Demolition Derby Jordan Steele told him about, but very few people are there. He picks up some woman [one of CrunchyShuffles' characters] and gives her a ride back into the city.

**Boe's Update:**

TL;DR: Boe provides Nino with coke and information on the Vagos/CG clash. Boe plans to break Snake and Barker out of prison and tells Nino he understands Nino's actions regarding Sonya. Boe also lets on that Sonya earlier received the 9s via talking to Raja with a hidden detective listening.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino meets with Boe. He gives him a bag of coke he took off one of the Russians he shot and tells him about the whole Russians vs. Allen thing again.
Then Boe tells him about Charles and Flippy going at each other's throats, but Speedy said the Vagos would stay out of that beef.
Boe asks Nino if he knows Snake. Nino says yes, and Boe tells him about Snake's appeal that's coming up. He also tells Nino about David Barker being in for life after he and Sonya shot and killed Kurt Leonard. Apparently the judge cancelled a plea deal Barker had with the DA and put him in for life.
Boe wants to help Snake since he's impressed with how he handles himself. He plans on breaking him and Barker out of jail, Nino warns him about the risk of that plan.
Nino then asks how he's holding up with the Sonya situation. Boe says at first he was pissed, but he understands that it had to be done. They talk about Murphy fucking up and how the whole situation could've been avoided.

Nino then asks Boe how Sonya even got caught and put in jail for the 9s. Boe then drops the bomb that she was talking to Raja at the Dam for 45 minutes and that there was apparently a detective there that caught her. They talk some more about how the situation started.

Nino then asks if they're doing more races, and Boe says that the Derby is over now and everyone went back to robbing banks. Nino drops him off at the courthouse garage.

Nino meets with Curtis to pay him for the contract. [They break the 4th wall and Mehdi asks Curtis if he wants to join him and Kyle playing Remnant: From the Ashes later. He gives Curtis a code for the game.]

They talk about the LB vs. Ballas situation. Curtis and Ellie got fucked up by them earlier that day, so it's full on war right now between them. But they're apparently cool with Green now.

They then go to the bank and Nino pays him $60,000. They drive back into the city and they talk about the cash Nino gave him. Curtis tells him some of the stuff is worth more on the street and Nino agrees to pay another $15,000, but then they say they'll wait for Nino to get paid to see how much it's worth for Nino's brokers. Curtis talks about how LB needs some smaller Class 2s like Scorpions, Nino says he'll see if he can make something happen. They part ways [and Mehdi switches games].

### **Episode 79 [Aug 15, 2019]**

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/468161578

**Executive Summary: Nino has his appeal debated in court with Shaw. A long meeting with Raja is held.**

Nino receives an E-Mail from Black Moon on Terminal33. It says that the VPNs can be imported for $1500 each. Nino orders 40 of them.

Nino gets a call from Anto. They talk about the Tarot card reader for a while. Anto then asks about a job at Cluckin' Bell, and Nino promises him a job even tho they are in a hiring freeze at the moment. There's some banter about the way Nino dresses, and Nino changes from his casual outfit to his business outfit.

Nino is about to use a payphone when some guy (Harry Martinez) comes up to him asking if he needs help. Nino declines and introduces himself, and Harry tells him he's working at Cluckin' Bell. Nino asks him what his goals are, Harry tells him he's just looking for people to be loyal to, and Nino says the Cluckin' Bell family is a very strong family. Nino gives him his phone number and tells him to call if he needs help with anything. Harry then asks about Nino's moral compass which Nino sees as sketchy af.

Nino runs into Buddha, who tells him that he just got released after a 5 year prison sentence. Bayo shows up, they talk for a while and invite him to a BBQ, but Bayo gets a call and has to leave. Nino picks up Curtis, who tells him that they have his contract all together. They go to a meeting spot, where Ellie and Buddha join them. Nino asks them if they need anything, and Buddha says they just want something to do. Nino tells him he got something in the works and will keep them updated.

LB also tell him that they're planning on taking the Grove Street Cul-de-sac from the Ballas. There's gonna be some kind of meeting and Buddha is talking about a big war. They also talk about gang turfs, and Buddha sends him a map of how they want the turfs to be split up.

Nino picks up Eugene. He asks him for a Large Suppressor for PD carbines, Eugene tells him he has one and would sell it for 20k. Nino agrees.

Later, he picks up the Suppressor from Eugene, then changes location and pings him to hand over the cash. Nino asks Eugene where he gets them from, but Eugene says he doesn't know the guy's name himself.

Nino has an accident and has to go to the hospital. While he's in the hospital bed, he receives a paycheck of $1,156,800 ($900,000 + $256,800).

Nino needs to get his bike repaired and heads over to Harmony. There he meets Marcus for the first time. They talk about pussy and Nino calls Rose under the pretense of needing her interior designing skills and tells her to come over.

Marcus talks about destroying her beef curtains, they go to Vinewood to check out "his" million dollar mansion. After a lot of bullshitting on Marcus' part, Rose leaves him and Nino.

Later, Nino meets with Shaw at Sahara. They talk about Nino's court case that's happening later tonight. Nino also tells Shaw that he's his only lawyer now, since Nino doesn't trust Murphy anymore. Shaw prepares Nino for his court case, [but then his game crashes].

While Nino is waiting for Shaw outside of Integrity Apartments, he runs into Ducky and Milton. They talk for a bit, and Nino takes Milton on a bike ride. They talk about Glady's Hotdog restaurant and how Payne doesn't want Milton to invest in it/get involved. Apparently the plan was that Milton gets the restaurant in his name since Gladys has a criminal record. Shaw is in the city again and they head back to Integrity.

Nino talks to Shaw about Gladys' business license and he says it shouldn't be a problem, even with her criminal record. They talk about the case some more, and Nino suggests that Shaw takes some of the new lawyers under his wings and gives them some cases to work on. Shaw likes the idea.

**Appeal:**

TL;DR: Nino and Shaw lost the appeal and the cocaine charges didn't get removed.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Quick recap on the court case: It's an appeal of cocaine possession charges against Nino. The cops illegally searched his vehicle after they crashed into him and found coke.

The court case begins. Shaw makes his opening statement, stating that Failure to Yield to Emergency Vehicles isn't grounds for a search of the vehicle.

DA Kermit's opening statement basically said that the search was legitimate and that he'll prove exactly that.

Kermit calls his first witness, Dep. Winchester. He states his version of the events, saying that they received a shots fired call in the area. They saw 2 people standing where the call came from, they also saw a dead murder kitty. He states that Nino admitted that he shot the animal, so they checked his weapons license, which was valid. The other person that was later identified as Al Saab had a warrant for his arrest. Saab fled in his vehicle, they followed. Saab then turned around and drove back, and as soon as he passed Nino, Nino drove into the road, causing Winchester to crash into him. Winchester got out of his vehicle and arrested Nino on Obstruction of Justice charges, which is a felony. Then they searched his vehicle and found the cocaine inside. Kermit asks when they changed the charge from Obstruction on Failure to Yield, and Winchester states they changed it in the hospital due to Nino's lack of a criminal history.

Shaw cross-examines Winchester. He asks why the evidence (cocaine baggy) was destroyed while there was an appeal being filed for these exact charges, Winchester states that it's standard procedure. Shaw then asks whether they took photos of the evidence or the crime scene, which Winchester denies. Shaw then asks why they lowered the charge from a felony to a misdemeanor, which effectively wouldn't have allowed them to search his vehicle. Winchester answered that they lowered the charge since Nino requested a lawyer but they couldn't locate one.

Shaw asks if at any point Nino did anything that would imply that he wanted to help Saab, Winchester doesn't understand the question. He then asks if Nino followed them after the started chasing Saab, which he denies. Then he asks if nino had a radio on him, which Winchester can't recall. Shaw summarizes that nothing Nino did implied that he wanted to help Saab and therefore it is unreasonable to believe he drove out in front of the cops on purpose.

Shaw asks about the crime scene. Winchester states it was a dirt road without any street lights. Shaw asks if there was anything that would obstruct Nino's view of the chase going on, and Winchester admits that there was a bend uphill which they went around before Saab turned back the other way. Shaw then asks about their speed, implying that they were too fast for Nino to see them come back.

Kermit asks if it was dark out and therefore the police light should be easier to see, which Winchester affirms. *The female DA* then asks if it's standard procedure to search a vehicle before impounding it. Winchester says that if they impound it to the police impound lot, they indeed need to search it.

Colt Shepherd (Cop #2) states his version of the events, which is basically the same Winchester said. He did take photos, but then the mountain lion attacked Nino and interrupted him.

Shaw questions Shepherd. He asks why he didn't take pictures of the evidence or the position of the vehicle. Shepherd doesn't have a good answer for why he didn't photograph the evidence and says that the position of the vehicle after the accident wasn't very relevant.

Shaw then asks what Nino's demeanor was. Shepherd says very pleasant and amicable. The report states that the evidence was placed in the locker for further lab testing. Shaw then asks if lab testing was done or if it was a miscommunication, since the evidence got destroyed. Shepher says he can't get too deep into that and says that he didn't handle the evidence. Shaw then asks whether the two cops were there in seperate vehicles, Shepherd says yes. Shaw asks if from the position they orginally were in next to Nino, would he have seen the chase after they got around the bend, which Shepherd can't answer since he was too focused on the chase. Shaw asks how Shepherd would rate the road in terms of traction, and Shepherd says it was deifnitely an established road, but the traction wasn't too good since it's a dirt road. Shaw then asks about the position of Nino's car when the chase went back down the mountain, Shepherd says that Nino drove out into the road and stopped, at which point Winchester crashed into him.

The female DA then asks if he always takes photos of crashes end cocaine baggies found in cars. He says usually he does. Shepher is excused and the DA's office doesn't have any further witnesses.

Shaw then calls Dep. Winchester on the stand. He asks what Nino was arrested for, Winchester says Obstruction and Possession. Shaw then reads the final charges, which say Failure to Yield and Possession and then asks which one it is, Failure to Yield or Obstruction of Justice. Winchester says he was arrested on Obstruction, but the charges were later reduced. The defense rests, and the court is put in recess for 10 minutes to prepare the final statements.

Court is called back into session. Kermit starts his closing statement, saying that Shaw seemingly accused the Officers of planting evidence. He says that Nino needs to own up to his mistakes and live with the consequences. He interfered with a police chase. It's standard procedure to search a vehicle that's about to be impounded and the police therefore doesn't need consent. The search was legal. He states that Nino put effort into moving his vehicle forward into the way of the chase regardless of the traction of the vehicle. Sayeed White adds that the officers did nothing wrong. The saw someone who's wanted and pursued him. During the pursuit, Nino places his car in the way of the officers who had no chance to react, he also implies that Nino might have been drunk. He also says that the cops searched the car legally, and even though they forgot to take pictures, they didn't do anything wrong.

Shaw says that the search was illegal and the charges tied to it should be dropped. He also highlights the fact that there's a severe lack of physical evidence in this case. He says Nino had no idea the chase was turning around, it was dark out on a dirt road and they were originally out of sight. He also mentions that the charge that led to the police searching the vehicle was later dropped, so he hints at a dangerous precedent being created where cops are gonna charge people with felonies only to drop them later after searching people/cars.

The judge puts court into recess and goes into his chambers for deliberation.

Court is back in session. Judge LaBarre breaks down the events. Nino calls after shooting a murder kitty, cops show up, Saab had a warrant, cops pursued him. Nino then interfered in the chase (on purpose or not) and the cops arrest him on Obstruction, which allowed them to search the vehicle. Later they charged him with Failure to Yield, which is in the scope of their abilities and therefore the possession charges will not be dropped. Court is adjourned.

Nino gets another Tarot card reading after the court case.

Later, he runs into Mara at the hospital. Nino tells her his chlamydia is back, and they talk about going back up to Mt. Chiliad and doing another chlamydia cure. Nino then tries to impress her by telling her about his eco-friendly electric car and motorbike.

**Just Business for Allen:**

TL;DR: Nino and Allen discuss the impending factory employee restructure. Nino warns Allen not to trust Raja.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino meets with Allen to talk about the Cluckin' Bell restructure. Allen tells him that the cops apparently set up a checkpoint at the docks earlier today and inspected all the trucks. He says even the Chief and Ass. Chief showed up in an unmarked car. Allen then asks Nino is there's really only chicken in the trucks, which Nino affirms. Nino tells Allen to instruct the drivers never to consent to a search of the trucks and always document incidents in the paperwork.

They talk about the Sonya Summers murder. Allen states that Raja was asking if he knew anything about what happened. Nino tells him not to trust Raja or even talk to him. Nino also talks to Allen about not trusting Jazz since she fired the Vagos for Raja and tried to bring in Jeremy Yang. Nino says he doesn't know what her angle is and that he wants to get rid of her.

Allen also tells him that there's a court case pending regarding Jeremy Yang's will, which left everything to Jazz. Nino reads the will and sees the name Brewer Pyke. Nino then tells Allen to think about a transition plan. He wants Bruce to be part of that plan and to also bring in Jonelle, these two will be lower management. Allen will be Nino's executioner, meaning that Nino makes the decisions and Allen executes them. Nino also says that they need to think of a good reason to fire Jazz and that Allen should start thinking about a replacement for her.

They talk about making a list of anyone who hasn't done chicken deliveries in 30 days, adding some people Nino personally wants to get rid of and firing them.

Nino adds $100,000 to the Cluckin' Bell account. Nino and Allen run into Bruce and Nino formally introduces them, then leaves them so they can get to know each other.

Nino runs into Saab. They talk about the city being boring during the day, then they head to the courthouse garage, where Bayo pulls up next to them. Bayo gets out of his cruiser and congratulates Nino on buying the strip club. Nino is confused, since that's not public knowledge yet. Bayo doesn't know the name of the person who told him about it, he just says he's a big black guy. Nino says he doesn't know anything about owning the strip club.

Nino and Bayo also talk about the truck inspections at the docks. Bayo says it was a simple test of the trucks' roadworthiness and that it was approved by high command. Bayo also says that they plan on doing these inspections on a weekly basis. Nino asks him to relay information on Cluckin' Bell workers that drive like assholes so he can fire them, and they exchange numbers.

Nino then gets a call from Raja. He says he's in an interesting situation that he thinks Nino should be made aware of. They agree to meet, Nino gives Raja his ping number and tells him to find a good location.

**Meeting with Raja**

TL;DR: Raja tells Nino about the Yang journal and offers to give his own journal to Nino to prove that it doesn't contain any information on business partners.

*Click on "Expand" to read a detailed summary.*

They meet at the oil fields. Raja hops into Nino's car and they drive to a different location. Raja tells him that the last time they met, one of his managers observed a vehicle waiting for them outside of QuickFix. Nino tells him that he was followed by a guy that crashed into him and then ran away.

Raja then continues to tell him about a rat named Jeremy Yang who was killed a couple days ago. Apparently Yang was spying on Raja during a meeting and confronted him about it, at which point Raja cut all ties to him. A lot of other people apparently kept talking to Yang, which led to an incident where Annabelle Higgins called Yang a snitch at the tuner shop in front of other people. At one point in front of PDM, someone went through Yang's phone and found a text message from the DA's office. That message included the phone numbers of Snow, Colombo and McCormick. A couple days later, Yang was dead, and a dead man switch sent an E-Mail with all of Yang's findings to a friend of Raja's (Jazz), who immediately reported this to him. The E-Mail said that Annabelle Higgins is the last person he met with alive. Since he had that text message from the DA's office on his phone, Raja assumes that this E-Mail was also sent to the DOJ. Nino asks how many people were mentioned in that E-Mail, Raja looks it up and says there are 340 individual entries containing names, descriptions, personality, known criminal connections and some of Yang's assumptions. Nino asks why Raja's friend got this E-Mail, and Raja replies that apparently Yang trusted her a lot. Nino asks for a copy, which Raja denies him, but he offers to copy the sections who are relevant to Nino. He also tells Nino that the only info about him in there was that he's a coke addict and tried to import Class 2's for Shepherd's Security Firm.

Nino then asks how accurate the information Yang had on Raja was. Raja says the information pertaining to his business connections was very accurate, but wouldn't give the PD any real evidence. Nino tells him about the truck inspections, and he also warns Raja about the Detectives connecting dots that aren't necessarily there. Raja tells him about Jenny Hall being his ex and Snow not liking the relationship, so if he wasn't looking into him before, he definitely is now.

Nino tells Raja that there's a trust problem between them since people are telling Nino stuff about him that is concerning. Nino also states that he only knows one side and would like to hear Raja's side of the issue.

Raja says that the only group he has an issue with are the Vagos, and that anyone else saying he's a snitch is probably just repeating what Speedy says. He also said that he offered Speedy video evidence of who the actual snitch is, but Speedy refused to review it.

Nino asks if Raja has been writing down his thoughts at all. Raja says he prefers to keep it in his head, and Nino states that he heard otherwise. Raja then admits that he has journals with inventory lists etc. for his business, then asks Nino to clarify what exactly he is asking about. Nino asks if he keep any information on the illegal side of his business in the journals, like who he talks to and who he has business with, but Raja says that he doesn't "write down speculations and such".

Nino then asks if the person who gave Raja all the information was Jazz, which Raja affirms. He also asks if Raja asked Jazz to fire all the Vagos from Cluckin' Bell, and Raja says that he didn't, according to him he even asked Allen not to do it. Apparently when Raja told Allen about his situation with the Vagos, Allen wanted to fire them all, but Raja asked him not to do it. The same thing happened later with Jazz. Allen backed down, Jazz didn't.

Nino proceeds to tell him that when he hears from multiple sources that Raja is a snitch and has a journal, he doesn't want anything to do with him. So he tells Raja to tell him the full truth.

Raja then tells him that when he was working for the bikers, he was basically a member without a patch. They apparently told him that the hardware was coming from Nino. Nino asks why they would drop his name, and Raja says because they trusted him. Nino then asks if Raja respects that decision, and he says from his perspective he does, because he knows the information isn't going anywhere, but from an outside perspective he wouldn't.

They talk about how they run their businesses for a bit, then Nino directly confronts Raja and tells him that he knows about the journal from a trusted source, not some rumors. Raja then asks if he's talking about the journal with a silver hourglass on the front of it, Nino says yes.

Raja then tells him he had an employee who was somewhat skittish. He was concerned about the Vagos feud, and name drops Manny. Raja implied to Manny that he has a notebook that would protect them, just to calm him down. But that book apparently doesn't exist. Nino says that to ever trust Raja, he'd need to see that journal. Raja tells him that he has no option but to show him, but warns Nino that the contents may have a big impact on him. Raja agrees to hand the journal over.

Nino then asks what Raja's plans are for the information he got from Yang. He says that he's gonna give the information related to the people in the journal to them, Nino asks if he's gonna hold on to it, Raja says deleting it wouldn't change anything since other people probably received the same information.

They conclude the meeting. Raja will pass on the journal, Nino will verify it, then they'll see where to go from there.

Nino then asks why Raja was asking people about the jail break. Raja says he only talked to Garrett about it, and he already knew it was CG because Snake told him. Apparently David Barker (one of Sonya's associates) also told one of Raja's employees that CG did the jail break.

Raja later hands over the Journal to Nino and warns him about some disturbing content in there. Apparently Rudi likes his women morbidly obese and there's pictures in there.

Nino heads up to Cluckin' Bell and talks to an employee. He tells him to let Nino know if he sees someone driving like an asshole.

He then gets a call from Siz. They agree to meet so Nino can pick up the contract. Siz then tells him that he was supposed to go on a helicopter tour with Allen, but Allen got summoned by a judge and might be getting arrested. Upon hearing this news, Nino cancels their meeting to look into the Allen situation. He calls Allen, but he doesn't pick up the phone.

He then calls Erin [and memes about her 3 day ban a bit (regarding not RP with EMS]. She hops into his car and Nino asks if she knows about Allen, but she has no idea. She promises to call him if she hears anything.

Allen calls Nino back. Nino asks if he's in trouble and Allen says that he got pulled over by fake cops, who proceeded to tase him and beat his car with a baton. Allen is fine though.

They meet. Nino tells Allen that he can fire Jazz whenever and that he already told Raja about his plans.

They talk about the Raja meeting. Nino says he doesn't trust him 100%. He tells Allen that he told Raja to chill with the espionage. Allen asks if Raja will just stop writing stuff down, and Nino says it apparently was all bullshit and the dead man switch didn't actually exist.

Nino drops Allen off, runs into some woman and asks if she wants to go to pound town. They agree to go to his apartment, but then Nino remembers that he already scheduled a pounding session with Mara (Chlaymdia cure hippie girl). He calls her but she doesn't pick up.

He then takes the woman he just met to his apartment. She asks if they're gonna ERP, Nino says yes, [then Mehdi logs off after entering the apartment].

### **Episode 78 [Aug 13, 2019]**

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/467392458

**Executive Summary: Sahara interviews for a software developer position. A commercial for Gladys’ new business is filmed. Nino learns of Thalia’s actions.**

Nino talks to Eddie about their Russian problem and Eddie tells him how the Russians got attacked twice by people he hired and seemed to have calmed down. Eddie also tells Nino about the Blacklist, *a racing league where you can sponsor a racer to climb the ladder for you (?)*.

Nino meets with Dragon and Hooch, Dragon's old friend [from back on TFRP]. Nino gives Hooch a job at Cluckin' Bell. Nino then asks for some alone time with Dragon to update him on some things. Dragon tells him he wants to start a new MC somewhere up north.

Nino hangs out with Eugene. They interview for a Software Developer at Sahara. They later meet with Gladys to shoot a marketing video for her hotdog restaurant. [Credit to Cookiedropz.]

After shooting the video, Nino meets with Boris. He pays him for the contract. The Russians also get hired as "security" for the Docks, to keep the Cluckin' Bell employees in check.

Nino meets with Speedy and they decide to go on a boat ride. Speedy tells him that he got his gun shipment earlier today and already sold 15 Tec-9s. They also talk about the Quick Fix situation [blah blah yada yada snitch this snitch that - watch the VOD if you care].

Nino picks up Payne, who had been taken hostage by Prune Gang for a bank robbery. Together they meet Siz. After Payne gives them some privacy, Nino tells Siz that he has to set up someone to pick up the stuff from the contract he gave him the day before.

Nino and Payne meet with Milton and Jazz. Milton asks Nino for information about what happened to him (Was in ICU with Cocaine, Morphine, Ketamine and Viagra in his blood) since he was last seen with Nino and Ramee. After that, Nino talks to Jazz in private. They talk about her firing the Vagos for personal reasons and some general Cluckin' Bell business dealings.

Nino picks up Ramee from prison. They talk about the situation with Milton and make sure their stories align.

Nino meets with Slim. He picks up 7 VGs for the Suppressor. They take a boat ride and talk about how the deal is gonna work.

Nino gets a call from Thalia, who tells him they need to talk. They meet at the pier. She talks about how they have random drug tests at the hospital, and since she got forced to do coke by Nino and Ramee a couple days ago, she decided to tell Doctor Cross about it. Cross called the DA and Detectives, who took Thalia's statement. According to her she lied, but wants to make sure their stories align. She told the Detectives/DA that Ramee forced her to do the coke and Nino wasn't doing anything. Nino refuses to go with her story and feigns ignorance. Some drama ensues and they "end things". Before Nino leaves the pier, he asks her if what she just told him was real, because if it was, he'd have to tell Ramee. Thalia then claims it was all a lie, and Nino leaves.

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/467392249

**Executive Summary: A change is suggested for the Knowledge Vault, the VU is attained, a chicken truck race occurs, and Allen is given more information on operations.**

Nino meets with Slim, who asks for a PD Carbine Suppressor. Nino says he'll see what he can do. After a short meeting with Anto he meets with Vinny, Garrett and Eddie. Eddie tells him about some problems they're having with the Russians.

After that meeting Nino heads to the Docks, where he picks up the contract from Boris. He gives him the advice to not start too many battles at once. Boris gets a radio call about someone heading to the Docks, so Nino leaves quickly.

Nino meets with Speedy, they talk about the Vagos starting a business and Speedy orders some hardware. During the meeting Curtis is supposed to meet with a Keyholder to get his gun connect, but Curtis missed the 10 minute window so they have to wait 72 hours to get a new Keyholder.

Nino talks to Sayid Mitra about his Dabcoin not showing up in his wallet properly. Sayid tells him that Dabcoin officially launches today.

Nino meets with Siz to pick up his contract. They talk about Dabcoin and Nino for some reason turns down coke even though he's running low.

Nino meets with Saab and Payne to talk about BBC. Later, Nino and Payne talk about creating a Joint Venture that takes care of paying the employees of both their companies. After that, they fuck with Thalia for a bit.

Nino meets with Chang Gang and gives them 2 contracts (5 VG, 100 Gold bars, 250 Watches in total).

Nino talks to Jacob about his VPN order. Nino also tells Jacob that Funny Man wants to talk to him and agrees to set up a meeting between them if possible. They also talk about splitting up the Knowledge Vault on the Dark Web into 2 parts: One part with basic info (Lockpicking, Pixerium, Territories etc.) that is easily accessible and one part with advanced knowledge (How to do a Jail Break etc.) that requires a VPN to access.

Nino meets with Siz again. He pays him for the previous contract and gives him a new one (50 Copper, 1 hot Pistol w/ Suppressor, 100 Pixerium).

Nino receives a text message from The Doctor. He meets with him 5 minutes later. The Doctor tells Nino they can buy the Vanilla Unicorn for 200k. Apparently some unknown party pays for half of the VU, Nino pays for the other half. They also talk about a patient (or multiple patients) whose vital signs are dropping. The Doctor may have to use methods to keep them alive that will change who they once were. After that, they head to the bank, where Nino gives The Doctor 200k. Nino drops The Doctor off, who tells him the deal will be done by tonight.

Nino organizes a Chicken Truck Race. Tony, Uchiha, Siz and Siri (?) compete in it, the first one to deliver the chicken and bring the semi back up north wins 5k.

Later, he meets with Allen and tells him that recruitment for Cluckin' Bell is temporarily closed. He tells him about the Joint Venture he's planning to start with Payne. Allen tells Nino about Jeremy Yang passing away and Nino hints at Jeremy being a rat that had to go. After that they talk to Pinto Patel about Cluckin' Bell operations.

Nino has a private meeting with Allen. Nino now openly tells Allen that Jeremy was a snitch and had to be killed. They also talk about cleaning up their employee list and getting rid of other possible snitches. Nino tells Allen that he's one of the few people he trusts in the city because he went through the gate (a.k.a killed Sonya). He also says that he's very suspicious of Jazz since she was the one who tried to bring in Jeremy.

### **Episode 76 [Aug 11, 2019]**

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/467391960

**Executive Summary: Something happens at Harmony, Nino discusses the QF with Summer, and Thalia is forced to do a line of cocaine. Following some cryptic texts, Nino meets with an unknown man.**

Nino is pulled over by an Officer Adam Hopping. The former berates the latter. $150 fine – fuck yous exchanged. Downgraded to verbal warning. Hopping mentions the cocaine on his record; now Nino’s a bit irate. Debate outside the vehicles. More fuck yous.

**JJ’s News:**

TL;DR: Nino and JJ meet to discuss Raja and some speculation derived from a journal. More important, what’s the intention?

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

JJ and Nino meet on a mountain. JJ says he fucked up: he took someone out without getting enough information first. [Mehdi mutes stream as Nino and JJ talk.] [Mehdi unmutes, saying fuck it.] Apparently, the person JJ killed had a journal and information was released to the PD along with two confirmed people. Raja called it a dead man’s switch. Jordan’s (Harmony) name is prevalent in this journal, and Raja wanted to let Jordan know through JJ. Raja said all the inner dealings and activity of everyone is in the journal. However, Raja is unwilling to share the journal – there is no substance at the end of the day. Raja has put himself in severe danger with the known existence of this journal: respect is hindered and is life is limited.

JJ introduces another person in the mix, someone who knew all this prior. Maybe Raja knew too? Nino questions the reasoning behind Raja going to JJ – JJ repeats Jordan’s name in the journal and that he didn’t wish to raise suspicion. They discuss the CID and connecting of dots through little evidence. Conclusions can be derived, but it’s about intention – if an intention is to fuck everybody to save one’s own life or hold something over someone else. A wrong move to make is to acknowledge or confirm what the other party, be it CID or a snitch, thinks.

The information contained within the book doesn’t matter. On this thought, JJ says Annabelle was the last person spoken to and that was the last person seen: this will be handled by others. Nino tells JJ it’s fine; just stay low and continue as normal with operations. It’s only speculation.

Nino wants JJ to investigate someone – he emails the name.

**Speedy's Fire:**

TL;DR: Raja needs to be taught a lesson; the writer cannot be allowed to keep writing.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino meets with Speedy; he requests Speedy wear non-descriptive Vagos clothing at their next connect. Speedy admits some greens got the upper hand on him. Nino tells Speedy that Raja has a journal with names and activities in it. Speedy wants to end Raja’s life. Nino shares his concerns regarding Raja; he doesn’t seem to understand the picture his actions are presenting to the criminal underworld.

Speedy gives his story of Raja and his perspective from the Vagos. Speedy reminds Nino of Allen’s close relationship with Raja. The Vagos had given Raja a short break and Raja sued them, offering Speedy a financial counter in cash out of the lawsuit.

It’s a plague, a virus - says Nino of the journal writing in LS. However, there is little information surrounding the specifics of Raja’s journal – it’s a difficult problem to solve. Either everyone take a hit now, with whatever is in the book potentially released on the kill switch, or wait on action allowing the potential for an even greater fallout later.

Well, can’t let the writer keep writing: Nino proposes picking Raja up and breaking all the bones in his hands. The lesson should be learned. Speedy is excited at this opportunity and now has the backing of Nino to fuel his fire aimed at Raja.

How deep and far back does this journal cover?

Nino shows to Harmony to service his GTR; he pays 4k. Then he parks it and takes out his m3.

Eugene meets with Nino at Sahara. Nino is updated on the gold bar current market and drops Eugene a contract. Eugene drives them both to his house on Lean Street and picks up the materials. He transfers them over to Nino. At a bank, 40k cash given to Eugene. Back to Sahara. Nino questions more about this massive bank heist and the anomaly gold output from it. Like 20x increase.

JJ calls, some big shit just went down. Russians, Harmony, Jordan.

Nino continues to pry information on the market related to the heist from Eugene. Nino sets Eugene on the hunt for more information – but he didn’t order it, wink. He cryptically asks for more information on what other people think they know about Sonya.

Summer Mersion takes Nino to the hospital after his crashes with bad injuries. They chat afterwards about the number of blonde women named “Summer” in LS.

**007 JJ:**

TL;DR: JJ informs Nino of the recent attack from the Russians on Harmony.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

JJ reconnects with Nino. On a mini road trip over some hills, JJ says Harmony was attacked by the Russians: Summer Sundae (this first name prompts another conversation about the number of Summers in LS) is good friends with the Russians. This altercation was prompted by the Russians asking Jordan about Eddie and possibly more. JJ tells of his side in the action: in a sand buggy and in his camo gear, JJ circles the group and puts them all down with an AK by himself. Right before he started shooting, it appeared the Russians were attempting to kidnap Jordan. Unfortunately, Jordan is downed during the crossfire as well and needed hospital treatment. JJ’s hidden identity seems to be intact, yet Harmony may be under more scrutiny per its defender.

Despite the issues of the Russians, Boris is reasonable; he has proven in the past to be dependable on deals. Nino encourages JJ to initiate a deal – perhaps through a middleman. What is going on between the Russians, Jordan, and Eddie? JJ needs to set well-defined expectations. JJ is concerned about the Harmony front.

Speedy and Nino meet again. Speedy hands over an envelope with 60k cash for the drop earlier. Nino introduces Speedy to a new contract, a heavy one. Short chat about Speedy’s current thoughts on the VU. After transferring the new contract details, the one with the hot police weapons, Speedy tells he already deals with hot weapons. Well damn, good recipient for this contract.

They discuss potential businesses for Speedy to run, maybe a tattoo shop? More talk on business and fronts.

**QF Cold War:**

TL;DR: Nino meets with Summer Mersion to discuss QF’s predicament.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

On the boardwalk Nino and Summer talk. She’s QF. First on the docket, accents and similar. Boris calls, he has his order ready. Nino gives a brief overview of his business to Summer; he specifies if Summer is interested in pushing a business through Sahara she have a decently defined description and idea. She starts with if Nino needs violence for hire, she wants to know. Talk back and forth, neither really giving the other anything. They both smoke. Hitmen. QF.

She backs Raja – she says allegations surrounding him are false. Continue the back and forth regarding QF. Nino expresses how the current situation of QF is unfortunate. Propaganda / gossip / allegations surrounding the QF are part of the game: it’s not just about truths. Assumptions are a piece of the puzzle. Is Summer the black sheep, from Nino’s point of view? Summer wants to talk this out; people only talk when interested in business, replies Nino. How much does QF know the criminal underworld’s perspective of them? They don’t seem to, and they’re not in a very good light right now.

Nino explains some of the politics of this criminal underground and gives a few suggestions for moving forward. Question those in your group on why this scenario, be the first ones to reach out to others to begin resolution. She continues to play coy. As does Nino, in his usual cryptic way. Small talk.

Nino chides Eugene on his missed work hours. Small chat.

**Thalia’s Forced Corruption:**

TL;DR: Nino and Thalia spend some time together: the former and Ramee force Thalia to do a line of cocaine.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Short chats with people lingering outside of Pillbox. Nino meets with Thalia inside and they start bickering immediately. Driving the m3 away from the hospital, Nino hits Sur Lee who is thrown from his police-issued motorcycle. Sur Lee profusely apologizes.

Coke time. Thalia basically tells Nino she found out her carpet doesn’t match her drapes. Wtf. Then it gets weirder.

Nino and Thalia join up with Ramee at Life Invader. DabCoin. Nino directs Thalia’s weirdness to Ramee then briskly walks away. Now he gets the story. Poor Ramee. He returns and discusses what the hell is going on with Thalia with Ramee in a corner of an office. What to do with her?

They do coke. Ohh, give Thalia coke maybe? They lure her into the office and first encourage her to do a line. She isn’t too happy.

Nino informs Ramee that Thalia might connect the dots – Milton is still in ICU and Nino and Ramee’s known involvement may be in peril. Eh, it’ll be fine. Back in the office room with the coke, an employee is seen enjoying some of the product. Thalia starts crying, she wants to leave. Nino, Ramee, and the random employee, Marcus(?) are having a party. Ramee pulls a gun and now forces Thalia to take a sniff. Nino turns his back.

Nino and Thalia leave in the m3. Nino crashes, Thalia repairs. Thalia’s now driving; however, she’s coked up. Thalia crashes, repairs. Back at Pillbox.

[Muted vod begins] Thalia and Nino repair the m3 at Benny’s. Then Nino repairs just outside Benny’s while 2 other people talk to them. A chat with the cops. A chat with Uchiha at Pillbox. [Vod sound returns] Thalia questions Nino’s actions with forcing her to do coke. Thalia tries to ERP with Nino.

Nino asks about her life, particularly the hospital part – he’s trying to pry about Milton’s state of health. Another crash, another repair. It escalates to Nino trying to get access to the Pillbox patient records.

At the pier, Thalia questions why Nino is ignoring her. What about our relationship, she asks. She brings up jeopardizing her position as a therapist by being forced to do coke.

In the lobby of Pillbox Nino offers Thalia to the CG with no hesitation when Chang asks if he has any ladies to lend out for a job. Altercation. Mel wants Nino’s help in an “extraction” of some sort. Two paramedics are overheard talking, one says she feels tipsy. On inquiry, they refute that they are drunk. Nino is tackled by Thalia, who thinks he is just “passing her around”. Nino sends Thalia to tell her story to help with Mel’s quest – but she doesn’t understand. A woman walks by, Nino says, Summer? Nope. Thalia turns on Nino again, is this why you didn’t want to ERP before?!

Nino leaves the situation in the chaos that erupts. People are running through the lobby and shots are fired outside, a cop goes down. Nino calmly watches and eats a sandwich. The situation follows him and critiques his lack of urgency. Nino runs to his m3.

**Cryptic Venture:**

TL;DR: A few cryptic texts lead to a meeting with an unknown man. After some exchanges, the man assures Nino he will handle a task.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino receives a text message inquiring about a contact number. Nino copies Chef’s (The Families) phone number and sends it to the first number, along with an ask if he is needed.

A text reply: Nino’s involvement would be preferred. Note, “vrach” = “doctor” in Russian. Nino wants to know, ETA? Perhaps this should be rearranged for tomorrow.

“We have delayed twice. We will not delay again. Give us the number and we will handle it.”
This is good with Nino – he sends one last text reply: he wishes to know when “he” arrives and will try to make an appearance. Another text: arrival very soon. Nino will put off sleep for a while longer.

Nino withdraws 5k at an ATM, stops at Benny’s, and calls Chang to inform of a new CG contract available. I’ll see you in a bit, says Nino, then proceeds to immediately crash. EMS arrives; Nino is hospital bound. Pillbox. Thalia and Doctor Martell excessively chat over Nino’s bed.

A text: Bahama Mamas. On arrival, Nino asks where they were meeting “him” to the man. The man silently turns and faces an opening between walls. Another man is seen standing still, but, perhaps upon noticing the attention, darts off. May or may not be intended per the man’s direction.

The man says, “It’s safe to say the voice box did not work out”. [Dondi’s mixer is having issues]

“Do what you need to do, I’ll be here,” replies Nino.

“No, it’s fine, this is what we will have to deal with now. As it stands, I’ve got no contact with him. The Vagos were playing soldier boy inside their territory. So if you have a number for him that would be best. Otherwise, you can go and I’ll go down there and find him myself.”

“Let’s go inside,” says Nino. They head inside the club.

Nino again provides Chef’s number to the man. The man says he’ll take care of it; Nino can sleep. Nino reiterates he will make himself available if need be, and that he will want updates from tonight.

The man assures, “we’ll have everything you [Nino] need by the end of the night”.

### **Episode 75 [Aug 10, 2019]**

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/467391608

**Offstream: A Body Found**

*Click "Expand" link at your own discretion for events that transpired off Mehdi's stream. Please note, Nino is relatively involved/connected.*

[Offstream: A mangled body is found underneath a crane. Officer Jenny Hall finds the body with an ID reading Arthur Hammond. Ducky treats the patient.]

**Executive Summary: Nino has a whirlwind day getting high on a combination of drugs with Ramee - this leads to some misfortunate events to transpire with Milton. Nino has an influential tarot card reading and meets with the Doctor and a man with a Russian accent.**

While withdrawing money at a bank, Nino runs into a Cluckin’ Bell factory worker named Daryl. Apparently, some trucks are fucked up in the unloading dock [scuff]. He’s hired as the new security detail and assigned to fix the problem. He is given 20k and Nino’s number.

Cameron calls: he’s just been held hostage but he didn’t give Nino’s name. What? Nino pays Jordan 8k for the car service and chats about how he just woke up but his day is already on fire. Cameron shows. Apples shows. Nino and Cameron leave in the GTR.

Cameron says there were 4 men who kidnapped him, OTT, Clarence, Bobby, and someone dressed as a Vagos. They took him up to the lighthouse and restrained him – they wanted to know who his boss was. Nino says get out. Cameron replies, Goodbye boss. Nino says, I’m not your boss, this is your problem. He comes running back, your name was not mentioned. Nino reiterates, your problem, not mine. Back in the car to supposedly discuss the chicken truck problem. Nino demonstrates reasoning behind the situation – just say you don’t have a boss. He throws him out again, don’t bring this shit to me.

**A Choice Made:**

TL;DR: After listening to his tarot card reading, Nino makes an important choice with an immense impact.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino runs into Ryan at Pillbox. Tarot card reading opportunity! He debates with a Doctor Martell. Nino meets with Ryan in the blackjack room. 1st Card: The Devil. 2nd Card: The Temptress. Nino starts to become more agitated. Who have you been talking to, he asks of the card reader. 3rd Card: Judgement. Maybe I should keep him alive, Nino mutters. 4th Card: Death. 5th Card: The Empress. 6th Card: The High Priestess. Nino puts out his cigarette and questions how long the reader has been following him. What’s my name, he repeats twice, the second time audibly loud. Ryan slowly backs away from Nino, he wonders if Nino is okay. It’s just a reading, he says. Nino pays 2k and threatens Ryan to stop following him. Nino pulls himself together and walks out of the building.

A random passes by on his way to the clothing store and remarks the GTR is nice. Nino watches him and, without saying a word, spins around and speeds off. He races around the city for a few minutes. Paranoia. Thinking. He parks and paces outside. I think I gotta keep him alive, he says to himself. He wishes he had Ducky’s phone; he doesn’t know where Ducky brought the man. He heads to Pillbox but Ducky is not on duty.

Nino meets a man with an Irish accent at a store. He’s wearing a mask because of identity theft, of course. Chat on the GTR outside. He’s Anthony/Antho. Nino and this guy are getting along well, numbers exchanged, future business possibilities. Two Families members show, they’re checking on Nino. Antho pulls a gun, it’s a minor stand off. What could have escalated died down due to Nino’s presence and the greens drive away.

JJ calls, Nino passes along the information to stay alert and search for a janitorial cleaning company. He doesn’t want to meet in person because of the increased tailing attempts lately; he wishes to keep his connection with JJ unknown. JJ also should investigate phantom trucks.

There’s a new contract from Sangre in the terminal: it includes a variety of things, including police issued weapons.

Nino crashes and makes it to Pillbox just in time. He’s treated by Martell. He crashes again and is immediately surrounded by 4 greens, Bruce, and a woman. The masked gang members give him oxy and fix his GTR. Nino sets a meet with the greens later and leaves with Bruce.

Nino questions Bruce how his test with Eugene went and tells him to work on a 5 minute sell for Sahara. Basic business shit. Bruce is to talk to Pinto and determine what the factory needs in terms of business and return later to pitch to Nino.

Nino picks up Eugene. Payne calls because he wants company. On the road, a chicken factory truck is seen aggressively driving. Nino yells to pull over and threatens the driver to drive correctly. Eugene is disappointed Nino didn’t kill him. The two come to the conclusion Bruce would be the perfect face of Cluckin’ Bell (think: Colonel Sanders KFC). Also, on that point, KFC is slandering Nino’s business [scuff earlier, etc.]. Now they’re talking about KFC. Nino crashes, repairs. They discuss event ideas and workers at the factory. Nino shows Eugene the issue at the loading area [still scuffed]; Eugene blames ManBearPig.

The guy in red pants shows again, Nino puts Eugene on him for temporary management. Pinto shows with another guy. Pinto is put on the truck problem as well. Nino inquires Eugene his side of the test with Bruce; he passed the Prune Gang test with flying colors. What about a Battle Royale for an event? Bruce arrives; he's given a project: begin filming a commercial in one hour. That means acquire the actors and script, etc.

**Payne’s Stirring Up Shit:**

TL;DR: Nino gives suggestions for Payne’s house auction and learns Payne’s trying to stir up shit in Los Santos.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

At Garage Q, Nino drops Eugene off. He gets a call from Payne and they meet up. Nino reminds Payne how powerful Payne is. They talk about James Carter’s will and his house ownership. Due to the lack of signatures on his Carter’s will it’s not valid. Anyway, he’ll charge a fee to the greens to keep the house. Payne asks about weed, “scientifically speaking”; Nino thinks it’s time for a boat ride.

Now they talk about the approaching house auction. Nino gives suggestions. They each receive business phone calls. Bruce's existence threatens Payne’s Batman identify. They discuss cars and Kamachos.

Payne needs to meet with Big E, he brings Nino along as his “business partner”. They are right next to Dragon’s house; Nino takes a quick look inside while they wait for Big E. So according to Payne Big E’s in a war; Nino and Payne leave. Nino calls Big E, who tells him he didn’t call Payne a bitch. Payne stirring up shit. Or trying to with Nino anyway. They talk about the origin of “deadass”. They arrive to Pillbox.

Nino encourages Payne with Martell. Payne tries to encourage Nino with Martell. A voice is heard from outside talking about an impound of Nino’s sports car – he and Payne run out to confront. Payne says he has a legal parking permit to park on the sidewalk: finding it, he hands it over to the officer. The officer rips it up while continuing to ask where it is. Payne says no worries, I have like 19 more copies! Another permit, another rip. The cop Garry Berry introduces himself.

A random is standing nearby; Nino gives him a description: he looks like Furio from the Sopranos group. Quick chat. Nino runs back to his vehicle but is knocked down by Garry Berry, who had leaped back in his cruiser, turned on his lights, and speedily reversed. Nino, Payne, and Felix (“Furio”) make a huge deal out of it and threaten suing. A cop shows. Nino is treated again by Martell, who takes a phone call casually in the middle of surgery. Another officer in Pillbox says out loud Garry Berry ran over Nino; statement achieved. They jokingly conspire together to sue for money. Payne joins and yells at an unknown bystander.

**JJ’s Updates and a Vault Jackpot:**

TL;DR: JJ presents a truck and informs of some information to Nino. Eugene tells of an incredible vault hit.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino meets with JJ on a mountain. He found and acquired a phantom truck to show to Nino. He’s had no luck in finding a cleaning company – Nino says to keep an eye out. They remark on the mysteriousness of these special contracts. JJ tells Nino someone approached him the other day: this guy said to JJ, “if someone were to turn up missing, you should contact Nino”. JJ knows the person referenced. [Mehdi mutes the stream and continues to talk with JJ.] [Mehdi unmutes stream.] Nino wants to use JJ as a contact point for servicing the chicken factory trucks with Harmony; this will also serve as an excuse to be connected to JJ in the public view.

Eugene calls – he just hit the main vault with a group and got the equivalent of about 500 gold bars, a massive increase takeout from usual heists. Nino wants Eugene to buy the whole bunch at Paleto cost, or at least hold onto the load for 24 hours.

Nino informs JJ of the incredible vault hit. JJ says someone he is watching is doing well and this man’s legal front is being constructed. New hardware soon. Just before he leaves, Nino asks if JJ recovered “the thing from the water”.

**Cluckin’ Bell Commercial:**

TL;DR: Filming takes place for the chicken factory: Bruce directs, Nino films, and some of the actors act.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Bruce calls to say the commercial is ready to be filmed. Payne calls in hysterics, he was just kidnapped for a bank robbery.

Nino arrives to the movie studio, where the Cluckin’ Bell commercial is underway. Bruce is the director and explains the plan to Nino, who does coke. The next location is a Lucky Plucker. Bruce directs, Nino films, the actors act (or, for some, “act”), Payne and others watch. Eugene shows. Multiple film takes.

In moving to the next location, Nino is pulled over but gets out of a ticket.

Next film shot: a Cluckin’ Bell restaurant. More acting and more film shots. The role of “Alpha Male” is transferred. Re-shoots needed. All the women actors except for one disappear. A group of people gather outside to talk. Payne is still shook from his kidnapping. Payne says he is disappointed; he pulls Nino aside. Payne wants Nino to give a serial killer, John Armstrong(?) a job. Nino says no thanks.

**Mixing Drugs:**

TL;DR: Duo Nino and Ramee decide to mix a combination of drugs and head to the VU, where they meet Milton, who learns of the effects of drugs.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

[Back in the server,] Nino gets a lift from Scarlett Winters to Garage Q. Nino does coke and takes his GTR for a spin. He calls Ramee: want to do some blow? Nino gives some guy Bruce’s number to call for job training. Bruce is recruited to the trainer position at Cluckin’ Bell. Ramee does coke in the car. Nino retrieves coke from his apartment at Integrity. At Pillbox, Nino and Ramee cut coke lines on the receptionist Nancy’s desk.

To Paleto they go. Ramee calls up a woman and asks if she wants some sausage – it’s Amara, who wants to talk about a food drive instead. Ramee calls up another woman. Turns out this one is a man. Now calls up a Zee. In a back room in THEBAY Care Center they choose a variety of drugs to mix: coke, ketamine, morphine, and Viagra. They call their creation the “Superman”. They try some and immediately notice the effects. Nino’s nose immediately starts to bleed. The drugs start talking.

VU bound. They arrive and take more of their mix. They meet a Violet. A Families member stands just outside the entrance; quick chat. Nino’s nose continues to bleed. Gunn greets the two. Inside is Milton at the bar. Nino and Ramee put in some orders for refreshments.

Milton wonders why Ramee is snorting sugar and why they keep sniffing; are they sick? They try to convince Milton to snort the “sugar” – he gives an aggressive sniff. Suddenly, Milton starts talking fast. He feels different. Milton starts talking to the pole dancer Violet with Nino and Ramee encouraging him. Milton petitions for a private dance and it’s a deal for 1k. The Superman is shared with Eugene.

Milton and Violet go to a private room with a curtain; the others try to watch and listen. They start shouting suggestions at Milton. Nino passes over some more of the Superman mix. Eugene records the event. Violet now snorts some mix. Milton is confused by the situation due to the effects of the drugs and his naivety. Now they’re all drugged up. Nino advocates for Milton to get it in. They look over; he’s not doing too well. Nino and Ramee race Milton to the car.

Nino and Ramee think about what to do with Milton – his condition is getting worse. Ramee reads online that a solution is to take more of the combination they concocted. What about Chips? He can help! They stop at Grandma’s. Carrying Milton in, they notice some more drugs. Yay! Another mix created.

They remember Milton and check on him. He’s unresponsive. Shit. Grandma’s not in the house; she must have left for a sewing club or something. More lines! Nino hits Milton with his taser. Excited, Ramee pulls his pistol. His attention is diverted when an intruder comes down the steps. Nino and Ramee put Milton in the trunk and race away.

They get distracted by an empty meth lab. Yay! More drugs. Back in the GTR, Milton is still unresponsive. They stop on the side of the road to enjoy some burgers; they toss one in the trunk for Milton. At the chicken factory they find Bruce training the man from earlier. They cut more lines. Milton’s body starts convulsing. Saab calls. They enlist his help to contact a doctor on the down low. He agrees to meet the trio at the Paleto hospital. Saab questions the drugs they took and refuses the offer to snort some.

Drugged Ramee wants to shoot Milton to wake him up. Drugged Nino wants to dump the body so he’s not incriminated. Drugged Nino also wants to dress him as a woman. Saab has his hands full with the two druggies and the OD’d Milton. Nino and Ramee do even more lines. Saab calls Amara for assistance. Nino realizes they need to leave the scene and Ramee and himself speed off. Saab confirms he will handle the situation with Milton and tells them to get the fuck away.

More lines. Paranoia. Nino sends it off the pier. The water washes their clothes and Nino drops his weaponry in the ocean. They discuss witnesses and evidence. LS has been crazy lately. Golf course. They talk about Murphy. They discuss the jailbreak and aftermath – Nino alludes to perception. Suggestion talk for Payne’s house auction.

They each punch the other to check Pillbox, wondering about Milton. Ramee lets on to Andrews and Nino he’s a virgin, then says it’s a joke. Andrews is looking to invest in Nino’s company, but there is currently no market – in the future, though. Nino is treated by Torah. They don’t learn anything about Milton while there.

Ramee says Fastlane is not making money so Negan decided to raise the prices: Nino and Ramee discuss this business model. Understanding of economy, offer services, investing with DabCoin, clean managers. Nino talks vaguely about the beginning of his return to LS and his relation to crime. Stocks. Businesses and progression in LS. Idea on Sahara automatically rating stock health with market cap on investments and performance. [More talk like this on ideas to improve businesses (both new imaginative ones like BBC and ones already in the city) and the server.]

**Just the Doctor Now:**

TL;DR: Nino talks to a man whose body resembles that of Arthur. An explanation of reprimand. A plan in place?

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino picks up a man in white pants and a red shirt wearing the doctor’s bird’s mask. He resembles Arthur. It’s a quiet several minute drive to remote wooden pier(location?).

“How are you feeling now,” inquires Nino. “I feel clear,” replies the man in a scratchy voice behind the mask. “Is it noticeable, your face?” Nino smokes. “Not ready for the mask to come off soon,” the man returns. Nino declares “What happened the night I had to make that decision – never again. Otherwise, next time, the punishment will be more severe, and it will be more than your face that I take”. The man: “Irreparable decisions were made by Arthur Hammond, so I gave what you took to another man, and separated the two men. Arthur Hammond could not be the Doctor, because he was going to make decisions that the Doctor would not make. And not anyone could be him, but the Doctor could become anybody you need”.

“How’s the patient,” Nino wants to know. “They’ll survive, but I don’t particularly think they’ll be who they were, if they wake up”. Nino quietly chuckles. “I feel like you failed the test, but it’s okay. Not everyone can go through the gate unscathed. You let me know when you’re ready, I’ll let you know when I’ve made my decision.”

“The face will be ready within the next few hours,” the man says. “Good,” Nino puts out his cigarette. The two walk back up the pier. Nino says, “I’ll not going to be visiting the location until the time is right; it’s too dangerous with people watching and asking too many questions. Once things settle, we’ll be in contact”. “I’ll walk from here,” the man with the bird mask states. Nino starts the engine to his m3 and drives off. He speaks out loud, “You never question my decisions, and if you do, problems will arise. There was no way to get rid of the Doctor, but I could take something away from him. Something to make him remember. This time, it was his face. There won’t be a next time”.

So Nino took Arthur's face as reprimand? What happened to Arthur? Does the Doctor persona remain, in full command of the body of Arthur Hammond, who authorities believe is dead?

And who is the patient they are referring? What are they planning?

Nino goes to the Tuner Shop and pays 3k to Saab. He chats with Ramee and Saab. Gomer shows. Ramee admits he accidentally hatcheted a cop. Discussion on the business idea from earlier with Ramee. Pinto arrives and informs Nino that the truck loading area problem at Cluckin’ Bell [scuff] has been resolved [per server restart]. Coop calls, they’ll meet later. Talk on cars and rental services.

Nino meets up with Coop at the courthouse. There’s a massive local pileup of buses in the road. Ziggy arrives. Coop also points out a random man who has been unresponsive for several minutes: a group gathers to stare at the man. He suddenly disappears then reappears several yards away. He has issues entering buildings, including the courthouse and his apartment. [massive scuff for this player.] Nino, Coop, and Mel are worried about his mental state and encourage a visit to a doctor. [Mehdi is disconnected.]

Nino arrives back at Garage Q to find Coop in handcuffs talking to Garry Berry. He had pulled a gun apparently. Uncuffed now, he gives a short dialogue to a filming cameraman for a news company.

**Russian Man:**

TL;DR: Nino meets with a man with a Russian accent who informs of some government construction and a progress update on a plan.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino picks up a man smoking in a garage. The man says in a Russian accent, “Ah, you made it! We have a problem solved and we go now to event with Gunn, government for construction, everything begin, da?” Everything with construction is completed. [government construction: admins coding for server.] ETA on construction time? Government is very eager, ETA not expected to be long. “We go next week, I think I be done tonight,” the man says. Nino gives his ID information to the man, who then says, “They say today’s voice box fix.”(?) They move to a quieter spot away from traffic.    [Dondi’s sound in game is scuffed.] “I see you’re still working on your voices,” Nino says as the man writes a note. Nino checks their surroundings.
The note updates Nino on a plan’s progress.

Nino drives to the VU and drops off the man, remarking to “keep Sun Moon in mind.” The man nods and silently walks into the club. Russian man probably the Doctor in disguise.

Back at Garage Q, Mel suddenly runs to Nino’s passenger seat yelling help. Pinto’s close behind, holding a bat. Nino watches as Pinto realizes he doesn’t have any plays to get to Mel – Pinto puts the bat away, greets Nino, and walks off.

Walking up the court steps by himself, Nino says out loud, “table.” He and Coop chat; they run into Bruce. Nino’s impressed with Bruce and wishes to connect him to Allen. He indicates what role he wants Bruce to fulfill, at least initially. Nino updates them all on his business idea for LS he had earlier with Ramee. Talk on food. Nino wants spare keys to Coop’s house. Coop denies, as it’s the judges' shared house and under LaBarre’s name. Nino confronts Coop about secrets.

They’re now at the courthouse to clarify ownership of the house; they continue debating. Escalation to a tweet by Nino of a public DOJ Q&A session currently happening at the courthouse.

Someone approaches; Nino asks for his opinion regarding the debate with Coop. More people show to Coop’s calm consternation. A group is now gathered on the steps. The debate originally between Nino and Coop has now grown into a city-wide debate. Coop is not happy with Nino for creating this. He pulls Nino to the side and expresses his discontent. Coop returns to the Q&A, where even more people have gathered. This session goes on for a while.

The session ends and Nino and Bruce talk to Zee about starting up a comfort food company in a diner. Coop calls: he’s still angry at Nino. Nino talks to some people who lingered after the event. As Nino and Bruce observe the traffic situation, Coop tackles Nino. He wants an apology; Nino’s unwilling. Delaney shows and berates Coop a bit. Nino pretends Coop is a mechanic after he gives suggestions for the DOJ.

### **Episode 74 [Aug 9, 2019]**

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/467390019

**Executive Summary: Information travels through Los Santos. A new man for Sahara? And what is Raja’s endgame?**

Nino meets with JJ and they share concerns about the increased tailing attempts.  Nino gives JJ the license plate number of someone who Nino caught tailing him earlier.   JJ lets Nino know the Russians may be taxing the ports; Nino is aware and lets JJ in on the deal he brokered – as long as there is an appearance of this taxing activity, Nino is distanced from the Russian group.  JJ then indicates he is close to taking action on the Russians, as there was talk about the former possibly attacking Harmony.  JJ also lets on he may have to put someone down, due to a paid job related to the QF.  JJ said he killed a Jeremy Yang with a silenced AK, who supposedly gave some information to a Penny and a Johnny(spelling?) Turner (both possibly in close relation to Raja), who tried to set up Annabelle, who Eddie wishes to keep alive.  Yang’s body was left in a sewer.  JJ further elaborates on Yang’s past dealings in the city – apparently Yang was an information broker for anybody, and was an employee of Raja’s.  Talk resumes on how to approach the Raja situation – what is Raja’s endgame?  Nino pays JJ for a past job.  Special carbines mentioned.

Speedy and Nino meet; Speedy confirms he received his gift of a gun shipment.  They discuss guns and coke.  Speedy wants a new coke connect and recommends Irwin Dundee’s group (Bondi Boys) for potential work availability – Speedy can possibly be a proxy.  Nino plans to introduce Speedy to a coke connect, Siz.  Speedy pays Nino for the guns.

Nino now meets with Vinny, Randy, and Garret.  They previously had met with Gomer, and express their uneasy feelings about him to Nino: he seems to think Chang Gang sees only money and lacks loyalty.  Gomer was found to be tailing Chang, Ramee, Garrett, and Vinny later.  Gomer might have had a close relationship to Sonya and is not thinking right – Vinny warns he might be looking to take vengeance.  Nino states Gomer distanced himself from Sonya before the event – Gomer had made no preventive action when given the opportunity.  Boe’s name is mentioned – he has connections to both Sonya and Gomer.  How/where did the information that Sonya was a target during the prison heist leak?  Raja’s name reemerges, which brings more questions.  Nino extends information to the CG of Raja’s journal and the potential repercussions that can result.  Vinny informs Nino of Arthur’s last message to Gomer: “this is all my fault, it is my time to pay”.  Nino tells CG about Murphy’s recent actions.  Nino reminds to keeps the knowledge of the journal secret, and says he put a mole in Raja’s organization, who discovered the book.  Be careful, he says.  Discussion resumes about Raja’s endgame and potential future due to this journal.  Nino reclarifies his decision on taking Sonya’s life, and updates CG on his request to the DOJ via Coop to end the Summer Initiative.  Nino recommends Siz as a connect for thermite.

Vinny and Nino leave together to talk separately from Garrett and Randy; they talk about the gun connect and last shipment.  Cost is discussed for the hardware.  Vinny is asked to find a price for the G36.  They discuss the downfalls of the Wizard.  Nino tells Vinny there will be more opportunities the more successes there are in the city.

Vinny and Nino arrive to Eugene’s wedding, who is set to marry Claire(spelling?).  Normal wedding event chaos ensues (Gladys’ delivers a beautiful poem, OTT objects, a fight is suggested, a gun is fired…).

Nino drives to the Vanilla Unicorn, where the afterparty is hosted.  Nino notices Payne acting nervous around him.  Nino talks with Erin and a few others.  Tri Poloski plays and Nino snorts coke.  Legal enforcement shows up to the entertainment, and Speedy shoots at Bayo with Ellie finishing the job.  Nino discovers the events that transpired had been filmed and approaches the camera man.  After acquiring the tape, Nino smashes the tape on a side table, destroying it.

Payne approaches Nino as he is leaving the VU.  Nino and Payne talk about housing and Nino reminds Payne he is Batman.  Nino inquires why Payne seems so nervous; Payne tries to remain neutral party.  They do coke in the car.  Nino once again reminds Payne he is Batman and continues probing for information.  Otto’s name is spoken, Nino continues fishing.  Dundee’s name is next; he seems to be at odds with Otto.  Nino asks who in the city currently are protecting Payne – Nino is on the list.  Nino separates business from conflict where possible.  Payne has a strong reaction to Nino’s allude of killing someone, after talking about reputation.  Payne agrees to setup a meeting of Nino and Otto.  Payne wants Saab dead as his and Brenda’s house hunting activities are thoroughly annoying.  Nino warns Payne to think before taking drastic measures.  Payne mentions he was with Otto and Gomer the previous night.  Conversation moves back to Payne being Batman.

Chang Gang and Nino meet up again.  Nino mentions Payne may know something he is not telling.  Is someone talking?

Nino meets Bruce.  After learning Bruce used to the CEO of Life Invader and has a clean record, Nino calls Ramee for an opinion, who also works at Life Invader.

CG meet up with Nino and Bruce at Nino’s office.  Nino wants to know if Bruce could fit a role in one of his companies.  The Employee Handbook is consulted.  Bruce refuses the coke presented to him by Ramee.  Nino snorts coke.  After answering a few basic job questions from Nino, Bruce is given an assignment: endure Eugene’s antics.  Eugene is invited to Sahara and is informed by Nino to do his best to test and annoy Bruce.

Chang Gang and Nino move to a hill to talk.  Erin’s intentions are discussed; she had been seen prior with Raja and Sonya.  Raja’s endgame again.  Ramee is updated.  A murder kitty is shot.  Ramee accidently knocks Garrett out.  Concerns arise about police.  Vinny calls police.  Another murder kitty is shot.  Cops arrive.  Nino is questioned about a C2 in the club earlier.  CG drives over a downed motorcycle and blows up.  In an attempt to save his nearby GTR from the flames, Nino goes down as well.  On the way to the hospital, Nino is ejected from the EMS truck.

On a beach talk Nino, Chang, Vinny, Randy, Ramee, and Garrett.  Raja’s journal re-discussed.  Nino does coke.  A Johnny(?) Turner is mentioned.  QF is following?  Nino reminds to be cautious of Raja and his associates.

Nino and Curtis (LB) take a drive and speak about Curtis’ shipment house.  Curtis will give a set of keys to a chosen house to an unknown person in the future for drop offs.  Nino considers passing Curtis information about Raja, but decides enough people know already.  Nino learns Vinny told Curtis about the prison break, but Curtis does not indicate he is aware of Nino’s involvement.  Nino hands off a contract to Curtis (Sangre’s).

Gomer meets with Nino.  It’s awkward.  Gomer transfers his contract material to Nino.  Gomer says there was nothing he could have done; Nino brings up Murphy.  They discuss Arthur and Sonya a bit as well.  Nino wants to know who Gomer has talked to regarding this situation: Boe is an answer.  Nino presses on if Gomer talked to Payne.  Gomer is more concerned where Sonya is, and if she is dead, who did it.  Nino states he didn’t do it.  They are pulled over by the police (simple traffic stop) but are let free.  Nino gives his perspective on cops.  Nino asks about Raja’s and Sonya’s relationship: Gomer says friends, confirming they were close.  Gomer talks about Raja.  Nino warns about Raja.  Sonya worked at PDM?  Jenny Hall is mentioned.  After a brief split, Nino pays Gomer for his contract completion.

An unknown man calls from a private number, requesting a private meet regarding a business opportunity with Nino.  He says his name is Norman Bones.  It’s very sketchy, and Nino inquiries why the mystery until the man hangs up.

Finally, after hours of waiting, Siz and Nino meet.  Siz gives Nino his finished contract.  They talk about the coke supply for Siz, and Nino says he’ll extend an invitation to connect Siz to a business partner (Speedy).  Nino pays Siz and gives him a new contract.  They discuss future business.

Siz presents Nino with a business proposal.  It’s a support group idea, a non-profit.

Payne and Nino meet.  Jordan Steele is getting on Payne’s nerves.  The two switch out the car for a boat.  Brenda Pancakes is also getting on Payne’s nerves.  Nino says Payne has more to worry about than Jordan and Brenda, but leaves it at that, creating an air of mystery and pokes at Payne’s paranoia.

### **Episode 73 [Aug 8, 2019]**

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/467385658

**Executive Summary: Hardware drop locations are set up, Raja's name emerges in conversations, and Allen is still reacting and coping from his decisions from the day prior. Jazz recommends an employee for the manager position at Cluckin' Bell.**

Nino and Chips enjoy some coke.

Nino drives to Harmony to get his car fixed.  JJ shows with Ajay right behind.  [Ajay’s first appearance on stream.]  JJ and Nino take the GTR out for a private conversation.  Nino informs JJ of Sonya’s death and the events that led to it, starting with the man discovered following Arthur and Nino.  JJ lets Nino know Erin did not devolve information concerning Arthur residing in her house.

Nino submits a request for the Key Holder via Terminal 33.

Curtis and Nino meet at an abandoned dock.  They chat about cops in the city.  Nino tells Curtis to obtain an empty house which he only owns the keys – this will become a future drop house.  Next, they discuss the prison break and CG and Leanbois’ relations.  Curtis knows where Detective McCormick lives; they decide to locate his house, and take the GTR.  Meanwhile, Nino recounts a past memory he had involving McCormick.  They talk about the detective’s current activities.  It is revealed Milo owns Curtis’ potential drop house.  They discuss the Summer Initiative and Coop’s (along with the rest of the judge’s) intentions, then the next possible heist.  Nino pays Curtis for the car heist, then almost gives him a new contract – he formally doesn’t, as they conclude the handoff should be with another Leanbois member.

Nino drives to the potential future location spot of the BBC (Bad Boy Customs) and meets with Saab and Eddie.  After chatting about cars, they get to business.  Nino drops a contract for Saab and hooks him up with a Cluckin’ Bell job.  They discuss Ron Otterman, a news reporter.  Eddie steps off to the side, and Nino and Saab talk about the events that transpired yesterday regarding Brenda.  Nino questions Saab’s sex life and gives advice.  Eddie returns, and introduces to Nino an idea of a new drift racing event. [Video credit to GTAWiseGuy's YouTube.]

Nino is informed by Morpheus via Terminal 33 of the 10 minute time limit start on the key holder.  Nino quickly calls Vinny to let him know.  This will be for Vinny’s new drop house.  At a gas station while on a phone call to Siz, Nino casually drops an envelope on the ground near Randy – payday.

Vinny and Nino meet; Vinny confirms his drop house is successfully set up.  Nino gives some information concerning the drops and what to expect.  Nino hears the sound of a door, and they decide to move locations. Talk resumes about the Summer Initiative and Sonya. Vinny again stresses how great he thinks CG is compared to the LB and gives the prison break events as an example. The topic of Murphy comes up and Nino provides a very brief summary of what led to Sonya's death and Murphy's contribution. Nino lets Vinny know he told Gomer about Sonya's fate. They share perspectives on the jailbreak and Sonya's ending moments. Raja's name returns; Raja is asking specific questions about the jailbreak/Sonya. Must be fishing. Why would he probe, does he have a death wish?

Nino runs into Bruce outside Pink Cage and plans to set him up with Allen for a job. Olivia lingers. Ghost, GSF, shows and he and Nino leave in the GTR. Ghost informs Nino that Sonya is dead and inquires about the reputation of the Russians.

**Aftermath for Allen:**

TL;DR: Allen is coping with his actions from yesterday; Nino informs he will make asks from time to time. The start of Dark Allen?

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Allen appears out of the shadows while Nino is fixing his car. They discuss the aftermath of the prison break. They have a short talk with Gladys on the side of the road about a potential business idea of hers she wants to begin. Nino suggests she push the plan through Allen and gives a few words of advice. After yet another discussion about the potential of people following in the city, Allen wants to discuss if business owners need a clean record. The two change their transportation to a boat, and Nino learns that after last night, Allen ran chicken truck runs to cope with his actions. Nino passes along information of why the situation had to go the way it did. Nino notes that Allen did what was asked of him and he did not hesitate on the ask. Nino then extends to Allen a slight insight into his shady business dealings, such as his drug and hardware connections. He additionally mentions human trafficking. He gives no details, however. Allen confesses part of his dark past that involved thermite, cocaine, etc. The two discuss the danger of asking questions without awareness. Allen is asked to consider where he would like to foresee his life. Nino reiterates that he will make asks of Allen from time to time and that these requests should remain between just Allen and himself. Allen’s first task is to keep an ear open for any oddities he notices in the city. Allen lets on that some in the city are curious about Sonya. Gremlin’s name comes up. Allen informs Nino he has already set up an alibi for the previous night – he has paperwork indicating he was doing work for the Cluckin’ Bell. Nino forwards Bruce’s name to Allen.

Nino meets with Funnyman, who tells Nino that a Greg knows Sonya is gone. Nino confesses to Sonya’s death and reasons why he chose her end – she presented too much of a danger to the rest of the criminal world. He admits to initiating the jailbreak. He offers a project to Funnyman: make Murphy nervous. They talk about a man in purple, which they initially both think is a different person (Nino is thinking Jacob while Funnyman is thinking of an East Side(?) Jay). Who is Bovice, Funnyman wants to know. What is Funnyman’s interest in Bovice? Funnyman agrees to intimidate and instill paranoia into Murphy. Funnyman tells his origin story to Nino and his goal in the city.

Nino and JJ take a drive and stop at a pier. Nino updates JJ about Allen. They discuss Murphy, Sonya, and relevant events. Connections between Jordan, Raja, and the journal discussed. Who knows what/who knows who. Why this, why that. How should this situation be approached to resolve this growing issue? Should Raja be put down? The existence of this journal is shedding a pretty severe negative light on Raja. They decide to wait on taking action for now and instead continue to gather more information for the time being, unless different judgement is needed on a short moments’ notice.

Jazz calls and informs Nino that a Jeremy Yang is very good at making connections and staying on people’s good sides” and recommends him to fill a new assistant manager role for the Cluckin’ Bell. Nino requests to meet him before he is given a rank of 4. Jazz presses this recommendation.

### **Episode 72 [Aug 6/7, 2019]**

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/467384849

**Executive Summary: A plan is set in motion to acquire Sonya, with CG at the helm [what results is a server first]. Allen makes a decision, and so does Nino. Coop and Nino debate on a DOJ stance. Gomer is informed of the events that transpired.**

Nino notices a commotion at Pillbox; there is a large police presence with weapons drawn. A quick walk back outside, Nino asks someone to give him a minor injury then heads back to the hospital, now with an excuse to be there. Hospital care. Nino chats with Olivia.

Nino picks up Allen in his M3. After talking about car tuning changes, they discuss the fact that Sonya is now in prison until trial. Nino inquiries about Arthur. They both think about what could have happened to have caused the cop presence earlier at Pillbox. Are C2 weapons involved? Has the DOJ made a change? They talk about Siz and Dab. Nino learns Allen used to be a thermite dealer, interesting. Note, thermite is legal, yet is the highest selling commodity for breaking into banks.

Nino checks the paper; quite a few people have been given the 9s. There is a good chance the DOJ has changed a stance.

Speedy and Nino meet atop a mountain. They discuss the people now in jail. Speedy expresses his thoughts on Raja. They talk about the recent raids and how these new events will affect gun sales. Nino asks if Speedy received his drop guns; he hasn’t yet. Nino hands over to Speedy his current / unadjusted price list for the guns. Eugene calls and informs Nino Sonya is in the prison with him, along with divulging some information concerning the new raid system. Nino tells Eugene to inform Ricky to stay awake; Sonya is looking like free food. Back to the discussion on gun prices, the pixerium market, and the movement of guns. Eugene calls again and requests an import of hardware into the prison; he also informs that Ricky is ready. Talk switches to ways of dropping hardware into the walls of the penitentiary. Nino likes the sound of Speedy’s plan, and seconds later, Cameron texts. Perfect, we have a guy for the hardware.

Cameron shows to Nino’s new meeting spot, and Nino tells him to do whatever Speedy asks of him. Nino calls Speedy to confirm the plan. Cameron is to wait for a ping.

Nino hears from Allen that the Russians are making trouble at the docks, so he heads there and meets with Boris, who is surprised to learn that Nino owns Cluckin’ Bell. Nino inquiries why the trouble. Boris just wants to make money and noticed the action of the trucks in relation to Allen. Nino offers up a contract, and states he doesn’t want his trucks or employees touched. Nino reiterates that Allen should not be messed with, and Boris agrees. Nino takes it a little further and offers more money if Boris is able to resolve any problems that arise in the docks in relation to the company trucks. Boris mentions he would be interested in an import/export business, as he sees Nino as an established and successful businessman who could potentially help. Nino says he could supply Boris with hardware if desired.

Nino calls Ricky and asks if his material had been delivered; he also alludes that Sonya should be put down. He does, however, wish to talk to her first.

Speedy calls and lets Nino know the hardware made it into the prison. Nino rings Ricky and lets him know his material is ready. Next, Cameron is called and informed (he is to transfer the hardware). A few minutes later, Cameron rings Nino; he discovered he is now stuck in prison, as to deliver the hardware he physically moved over the walls and cannot leave. Nino holds a concern that if Cameron leaves via medical services or any other way, legal enforcement may become aware of unusual activities and potentially compromise the overall plan. Cameron is told to stay put, hide, and take note of movement within the prison.

Nino picks up Arthur, who informs that Sonya was picked up last night and is in prison, which he considers a solved problem. Hmm. As they drive by the prison, lights and sirens catch their attention, so they join two other people on the top of a hill nearby to observe the prison events. All four feign ignorance; the other two say they were sightseeing. Using binoculars, Nino attempts to discern activity within the prison walls. Has Ricky been caught? Eugene calls and says Sonya just woke up and is active, while at the same time Ricky went to sleep. Nino tells him to stay vigilant.

**Arthur and Nino: Rationality:**

TL;DR: Arthur argues to save Sonya while Nino gives his rationality for her death.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Back in the M3, Nino lets Arthur know his plan to talk to Sonya first, then take action against her. The two discuss potential details on the plan. Arthur says he talked to Gomer and presents to Nino solutions. He makes points that reasons exist to keep Sonya alive, with at least one reason being Gomer’s connection to her and his potential repercussion actions. Nino questions why Gomer’s emotions should be considered in this situation at all. Arthur acknowledges, yet pushes back again to keep Sonya alive. Nino returns, how can Sonya be molded and controlled, if her prior actions suggest almost absolute illogical decision making? She is simply just too crazy. Talk moves to the Dundees and Arthur connection with Sonya. Nino sees Sonya as a sitting nuke, a waiting bomb. Nino stops the car and describes why this is now his decision to make regarding Sonya. He also explains again she is irrepressible, and that Gomer distanced himself greatly from Sonya when he last talked to Nino. Sonya is incredibly unpredictable given her pattern and her choices with a judge. Arthur states he will not try to convince Nino of anything, yet says that the inevitability of an end being taken away by someone who probably has the sole power to be the intervention between them and the end means Arthur will hesitate with a finger on the trigger. Gomer is brought up again; Gomer saved Arthur once from a situation with an otherwise inevitable end. Nino reiterates Sonya’s negative effect on the criminal world; namely, that of the Summer Initiative. Nino states a point must be made, a line had been crossed. This decision must be made. Arthur brings up Gomer again, and adds in Slim, Gladys, and Eugene now. Along with this argument, Arthur explains a perspective that he himself would be inconvenienced if Sonya is put down, and in turn, Nino would be inconvenienced. Arthur argues for a vulgar show of power if this decision must be made, but also remarks of his thought that the decision is wrong. He advises this is the wrong decision to make, but that he will respect it and abide by Nino.

Nino drops Arthur off, then calls Eugene to ask who is in the prison. Nino wants to be careful what information people know. How can he contact Sonya for a quick talk without alerting too many people? Eugene lets on that CG may possibly be considering a prison break. Maybe include Sonya in a deal and give Vinny a chance to regain trust? This is the play; plan acquired. Now to initiate.

Nino and Vinny meet on a beach and discuss the Summer Initiative and connection to the holding of C2 possibility. Nino passes along the name of Sonya, and elaborates upon his issues with her and her perceived psycho actions. Vinny and Nino discuss her effects on the city and her downfalls of character, but also her positives. Nino curves the conversation to his desire for a prison break, operated by Chang Gang, with the addition of Sonya included as a package. He offers money and potential respect, if the job is taken and package is successfully delivered.

Nino receives a call from Arthur, who wishes to talk about Raja’s book.

Nino calls Speedy and confirms Speedy received his variety-pack gun shipment. Speedy offers his services.

Arthur and Nino discuss again the plan and Nino updates on his new idea for CG to perform a prison break. Sonya and Gomer are again deliberated. Arthur brings up Gomer’s loyalty, and gives a situation in which this loyalty can be tested if Sonya remains alive. Arthur offers himself as the liaison between Gomer and Nino in this scenario. The emotional instability of Gomer is brought back into light by Arthur. Nino says he agrees. The next subject in the conversation involves Raja’s journal, of which its existence Arthur is now aware. Nino recommends Arthur to not share this information with anyone else, and states that he is surprised Jordan even told Arthur about this book. Recommendation is to distance from the situation. Raja seems to be tied to a woman; this poses a risk. Arthur refers back to Sonya upon introduction in the conversation of Coop’s connection in the situation. Summer Initiative again discussed. The supply and demand regarding the gun market will be affected; demand will rise due to subtracting supply, yet demand will also retract at the same time due to the increased risk associated. Property under anonymous names will additionally increase in value; Nino sees the power here now. As the two start walking, Arthur inquires about scouting for ground crew; Nino says to continue. Arthur’s VU Initiative is deliberated. Nino provides Arthur with a contract. After Murphy sends out a tweet, Nino and Arthur talk about the lawyer and their opinions on his past activities/decisions, plus their future plans for him to suffer.

Nino sets a meeting with CG; Vinny, Chang, Garrett, and Uchiha show (Uchiha stands to the side, out of earshot). He offers 100k for a prison break and the extraction of one individual. Chang points out the risk involved. Nino returns that hardware can be acquired on his side if needed, and, if the job is accepted, more lucrative future business opportunities. 200k is given by Chang, 120k retort by Nino. Some discussion ensues on potential plans and who currently is in prison. The CG moves to the side for a private chat. They walk back to Nino and give the number 175k. They talk about resources and potential repercussions if caught – the jeopardy. Charles joins up. The final agreement: 100k to take the job (succeed or fail) and 75k if successful with delivered package (Sonya).

Upon leaving, Uchiha needs a ride, so Nino offers. Nino asks Uchiha if he wants to do coke and inquiries about Choi. The talk moves to women. Driving near the hospital, Nino hits a car. Turns out it’s Buch, who looks like he is dressed for golf. Small talk.

Nino calls Eugene for an update of who is in the prison - him, Boe, Slim, Snake, and Sonya. Apparently, a body was down, possibly David, and some prisoners acquired some AKs and had a commotion with some cops. Not much besides that. Sonya is a flight risk. Eugene is informed a plan is in motion and to continue to stay vigilant; if he hears anything interesting, Nino is to know.

Nino calls Coop now; he drives to the courthouse. They meet on the steps and head inside, but only after Nino takes a moment to silently stare at Murphy. Once inside private chambers, they talk about windows and facades. Nino inquiries about the Summer Initiative and asks if Coop is happy. He pushes for more relevant information. Coop wonders why Nino wants to apparently just hang out, or, waste time. Outside, Nino sees another shot to sketch out Murphy and takes it.

Nino and Siz meet up and the latter is given another contract. No problem, Siz says, I may have this all now. Nino orders a brick of coke as well. Siz lets Nino know he is already aware of a crew prepping to perform a prison break. Siz even hints on the idea of breaking everyone out to get at one person in the city who has been wreaking havoc, Sonya. A concise conclusion, but a reasonable one.

Coop calls, still want to hang out? He’s at the courthouse, and the city seems quite quiet today.

Nino listens in on CG’s radio channel. They are in preparation for the heist and are about to initiate. Nino remains by himself and heads to the lighthouse. He listens to the execution of the operation. The 4 Chang Gang members executing the prison break: Chang, Ramee, Vinny, Charles. Other side parties are involved as well, including the prisoners. It seems to be going well. *Note: this is the first mechanically successful prison break in NoPixel server history!*

Coop calls, he confidently tells Nino he got laid at Bahama Mamas; he was hanging out with someone named Rose. During the call, Nino is involved in a car accident so starts in the direction of the hospital. After treatment, a small group of people linger outside on the sidewalk and Nino chats for a few seconds.

Nino receives a call from Chang; the package of Sonya has been acquired. Chang is instructed to bring her to a private location and ping Nino. Both Sonya and Vinny are down and need a doctor.

Nino picks up Arthur at Harmony. Nino remarks that Chang Gang did very well in the operation. Nino wants to know Arthur’s current thoughts on his plan for Sonya. He then informs Arthur that he made the decision to make Allen perform the deed regarding Sonya’s fate. They exchange the GTR for the M3. Allen follows on a moterbike. Nino again checks Arthur’s present thoughts, stating he has not made up his mind completely concerning Sonya. They stop briefly by the hospital for Arthur to pick up his kit. Nino asks Arthur to call Allen and tell him to remind silent upon arrival so his identity is kept hidden. Arthur will do the same, and will change his voice when he assists Sonya and Vinny, who are both down.

Nino’s M3 pulls up onto the old bunker(?) and Nino is greeted by Chang. Arthur, using a disguised voice, brings back Vinny and Sonya onto their feet again. He pulls the bullets out, applies a hemostatic agent, and gives them the necessary medical treatment to keep them alive with a limp.

Sonya is now standing in front of Nino, cuffed. She immediately starts talking about how things could have gone differently if she had known who Nino was and his place in the city. Why should that matter? Sounds like bullshit. She kidnapped a judge in an effort to obtain a simple conversation with a man she did not try to investigate first. Nino says she is a primary reason for the Summer Initiative and thus the reason for the recent massive prisoner intake for the penitentiary. She repeats that she did not know Nino and hopes he understands her actions were prompted by her worker’s disappearance. How can anybody trust her, how can anybody reason with her? Nino brings up the pawnshop and how quickly she lost it. Sonya assumes verbally that Speedy works for Nino and her loss of the pawnshop via Speedy was a consequence of a move of Nino’s – Nino discounts this connection; how does this prove Speedy works for him? Speedy doesn’t, he says. There are a great number of people in Los Santos negatively affected by the Summer Initiative. At this point, the two are surrounded by Chang, Vinny, Ramee, Charles, Arthur, and Allen (these last two with identities hidden). Sonya keeps making this about Nino; this wouldn’t have affected her actions, he states. She makes the argument that she can be rational and that she thought Nino originally was just “some random dude”.

Nino steps back from Sonya. He begins telling the story of a gate, a gate with only one direction. Sonya thinks he is still talking to her and makes another effort at conversation. Nino ignores Sonya, instead choosing to continue with his story, now on the subject of a dog. It’s the dog story. He then motions to the helmeted man, Allen, and inquiries if he will kill the dog. Get the bat, go through the gate. Allen makes his way to the trunk of the M3 – there is no bat, but he finds a wrench. This will do. The circle of CG look on as Allen awaits Nino’s signal. Nino states it is his choice. Will Allen go through the gate?

Sonya is hit with the wrench. Allen steps back, the deed done. Sonya is badly injured and starts to bleed from her head. Keep going, says Nino. In silence, the group watches as Allen hits Sonya multiple times. Time to dump her in the ocean.

Nino pulls Chang and Vinny to the side, is she worth anything to them? Gomer’s name is brought up. Nino recounts that he has spoken to Gomer and that Gomer took a step aside. Gomer is also able to be reasoned with. Nino states the potential trouble Sonya could cause to everybody in the city if she were to stay alive. Business is business. CG are fine with this decision, and Nino is satisfied.

Nino informs Arthur Sonya will not be saved; Arthur advises against this decision but again agrees. Nino concludes business with the CG; payment will be received and they are no longer needed. Allen is instructed to dump Sonya’s body in the ocean, but first to check to make sure nothing is on her that could compromise her death. Arthur suggests they observe to confirm.

**Arthur and Nino: Rationality Part 2:**

TL;DR: Arthur makes one last push to save Sonya while Nino again gives his rationality for her death.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino and Arthur converse about the decision, and Arthur positions Sonya could still live. He’s still arguing for her life. Arthur is concerned Nino maybe has made a mistake involving Allen this deep this quickly. Arthur says her loyalty would lie with Nino should he keep her alive. However, she shot Coop and began the Summer Initiative, returns Nino. Suddenly, a cop drives up, lights flashing. Allen dips, literally, by diving into the water. Arthur hides in a nearby bush. Turns out the cop was conducting a routine patrol and wanted to investigate the sounds of a rapid animal in the area. After a recommendation to stay safe, the cop pulls away. The cop did not notice Sonya’s body. Arthur continues to argue for Sonya’s life. Nino lets him talk. Nino presents the scenario of the last person he saved in a relatively similar situation: Speedy. Nino does not see this scenario working out the same and instructs Arthur to call Allen to return to the scene. Nino remarks to Arthur that he has been searching for ways for Sonya to live, yet has not been able to find any – she simply cannot live. Gomer will be an issue, slight or major, yes, but Sonya must die. She presents too much of a danger to the criminal world, this is for the better. There are no logical conclusions that lead to her being saved at this point. Arthur again contends for her life, disagreeing with Nino’s logic, and then comments on Nino’s decision with Allen – his legal business front is corrupted. Arthur says Sonya could be a strong ally – he alludes to his ground team. Sonya can be commanded, argued Arthur. He wants to be Sonya’s doctor and “treat” her to become a machine under beck and call. He can alter her body and conform her mind to make her obey willingly(?). She is just too much of a liability, Nino says. Dump her in the water. Allen is back from his swim; after putting on an oxygen tank, Allen grabs Sonya’s body and heads for the waves.

Nino inquires Arthur why he thinks Nino likes him. He’s not a basic “yes” man, Arthur replies. That’s right, Nino says. Arthur boldly expresses with a sigh it was the wrong move to let Sonya die in the manner and not keep her alive, but that he will still defer to Nino. It was always my move to make, says Nino.

Arthur thinks Nino seriously fucked up. His front is gone, Allen is fragile, and Gomer is an issue. Nino says he knew and understands. Nino replies that Allen is his asset and he stands by his choice; he knows things Arthur does not. Gomer is the next topic. He will start a war, Arthur states. Why is Arthur so involved in all this, and how deep is his connection to Gomer? This is the only way this could have ended.

Allen returns from dumping Sonya’s body, he walked through the gate. He did well, and Nino will speak to him soon.

Back in the car, Nino questions Arthur about his relationship with Gomer. They discuss Gomer’s connections. Nino says Gomer’s anger will somewhat dissipate when he learns of those involved with Sonya’s pickup; some he considered friends.

Later, after dropping off Arthur, Coop calls. They decide to hangout soon. Nino pulls 175k from 3 different banks around the city for CG’s payment, plus another 25k as a bonus.
Nino and CG (Chang, Ramee, & Garrett) meet at another bunker and Nino hands over 200k to Chang. He complements them on the mission. Nino learns Raja is asking about the prison break and seems to think CG was behind it. How did he come to this conclusion? Did a released prisoner talk? Discussion on Raja and the future regarding the Summer initiative and its effects.

**Coop's Summer Initiative:**

TL;DR: Nino and Coop debate on the current raid system. And will Coop call off the Summer Initiative?

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino meets with Coop at the courthouse and they drive to Bahama Mamas. They talk about Uber drives and then Coop says he locked 3 people up in maximum security. Snake’s name is given. Turns out the other two were exaggerated. Coop takes a phone call, from a Lees. It sounds like Nora is concerned Coop left in a car with Nino – Coop assures her it is alright as Nino is a childhood friend. Nino inquires why is Nora concerned, Coop replies that Sonya is known to be an escaped prisoner from the recent prison break – this is apparently the cause for the concern. Nino questions Coop why he mentioned earlier that he felt Nino did not want to hang out. Coop says he thought it was for his own good, he felt Nino was maybe protecting him, or Nino just doesn’t want to hang out anymore. Nino seemed more committed to his business than Coop. I was ready then to step down from the judge responsibility, he says. Nino does not believe this. If he was ready, then why didn’t he? Nino says the city is on fire from the recent legal system changes – everything that happened tonight was a direct result. They discuss the system. Dias walks in, Coop explains that they are knowingly tailing him. Back to discussing the current raid system – Coop backs it, Nino says it has created a warzone. Coop says he will call off the Initiative, yet raids will continue; also, from his perspective the Summer Initiative is not the sole reason for the recent arrests. Will he actually call it off?

They head back to the courthouse, then decide they still have time, so drive around randomly. Nino suspects Coop may be pinging someone. He drives to a remote area, and states he wants Coop to meet someone; he’s just playing around and wants to freak Coop out a bit. Incredibly enough, they run into Boe on the road, who’s just sitting there. Coop says he must make a call (he recognizes Boe as one of the escapees from the prison break earlier). Nino quickly drives the M3 into the lake nearby in an attempt to give Boe some time to escape. Nino and Coop reconnect on the banks of the lake and Coop is unable to call authorities as his phone had water damage. Nino’s phone seems perfectly fine, however, as he answers Thalia’s call. At the top of the banks, a police car is seen. Coop requests Nino away when he talks with an officer, but Nino overhears on the radio Boe’s car description being called in. Coop and Nino join the two officers in their cruiser and very shortly pass by a ranger(?). Again at the courthouse, and now Coop and Nino ride in the G Wagon. Kael Soze pulls up, indicating a missed red light. Coop is let off with only a warning, and in conversation it is learned Coop only put 1 person in max sec, not 3. Nino and Coop talk about coke. Coop shows Nino his house on Cox Way, which he calls his Cox. They harmlessly bicker a bit inside.

Raja and Nino decide to meet at QF. Once there, Nino is offered mechanic work on his car; he refuses as he has a meeting. Raja walks out and joins Nino in the GTR. He’s limping; he had a fallout with a gang apparently. A short talk on business; Raja is still adjusting to running the QF without the bikers. Nino arrives to a location; Sonya’s death spot (Raja does not know). Raja asks about contacts; he wants the same as the Lost MC had. How would this affect Raja’s backend business? Raja replies he keeps his projects separate. Nino indicates he knows of Raja’s ability to create attachments for hardware and inquires about a trade possibility – the core hardware on one side, the accessories on the other. It’s mutually beneficial. Nino remarks if this happens, the identities of both parties would be kept hidden. After a potential indication of compromise of their meeting spot, they hop back in the car and continue talking. Raja is fine with a middleman for this deal, at least at the beginning of these transactions. Raja supplies Nino with a list of what he is able to supply: SNS, Shotgun, AP Pistol, Uzi, Extended Magazines for the above listed, and weapon suppressors. Raja says paying in VGs is a pain, as their worth fluctuates regularly. Nino shows Raja the current price per a bank and discusses the market a bit more along with potential future exchanges involving Raja’s accessories. Nino says he will look into getting the other side of the party onboard. As the talk concludes, Raja offers Nino a cocaine brick.

As Nino arrives at Integrity to store his coke, his GTR is hit by a dark green El Camino. Spinning back around, Nino sees the driver exit the vehicle just mentioned and sprint up the sidewalk. Was he tailing? Nino stores his brick then drives quickly around the block. The driver is nowhere to be seen. He returns to the apartments; the plate reads: 26VDV112 – Nino notes this. Nino makes a few more laps around looking for the driver. He enters a clothing store; another man is there trying on a business suit. Is this him? Nino tests him a bit. Doesn’t seem like it.

Still searching, Nino pulls up to the PD. Allen, Erin, Dias, and (?) are conversing. Erin needs to have a short private conversation with Nino. Erin asks if there are any tasks she should assign to the interns. Nino tells her about the tailing and gives her the plate number to investigate.

Nino calls Gomer; time to touch base.

**Gomer's Reaction:**

TL;DR: Nino tells Gomer Sonya’s gone, Gomer is sad, who really is Arthur?

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino wants to know what Gomer knows. Gomer seems to be tracking down the escapees, thus far he appears to be looking mostly for Snake and Sonya. Nino asks if Gomer knows how Boe acquired his 9s. Silence ensues. Conversation again about other escapees. Conversation about the Summer Initiative. Suddenly, Nino breaks it to Gomer, and states she will probably not be found. Gomer is curious as to what happened to her. Nino explains – there was no logical end that included her staying alive; she was simply just too irrational and unpredictable, given her prior choices. Gomer retorts that he wish Nino had talked to him. He says Sonya was rational in including Coop in the situation. Nino gives his same argument back in different words; she’s not rational. He includes an example this time. Gomer spins onto a new topic, Arthur was meddling too much and did not save Sonya. Okay, let’s get some information here; an opportunity for intel. What was going on with Arthur, Nino asks. Arthur was trying to neutralize situations, he replies, but was actually making them worse. Nino says there is a possibility Gomer may not be wrong here. They discuss goons in these scenarios. Gomer blames Arthur. Nino makes it clear he had no bad blood with Sonya until she brought the situation right to him. He states again he tried to save Sonya, yet discovered she could not negotiate and she is just too insane. Gomer keeps trying to disagree. Upon hearing the Summer Initiative, Gomer says Nino is involved with it. Um no? How did he get to that conclusion? Your best friend is a judge, says Gomer. It’s in my best interest to understand the law, returns Nino, I don’t work for the DOJ. Nino breaks it down and describes the correlation of the Coop kidnap and the launch of the Summer Initiative. Gomer hears “phone call” and now thinks again Nino had involvement with the DOJ’s decision. Say what now? Nino reclarifies the phone call. Time difference is debated between the time of the call from Coop and the announcement of the Summer Initiative. Why does this time difference even matter? Same thing either way. Gomer admits he likes crazy. Nino states he doesn’t have all the details, but a lot of people were involved in her death – it was an initiative, and this initiative not the legal Summer one (this one the criminal underworld coming together to contain a common threat). Gomer says his business will suffer with her loss. He lost “clarity and trust” with Sonya’s death. Apparently, it was Gomer and Sonya versus the world. Gomer is in a lot of pain and despair from this consequence. Gomer blames Arthur again, and may take action against him. What exactly is this connection between Gomer and Arthur? There seems to be more to Arthur. Nino requests more information on Arthur, particularly his interactions with Dundee and crew. Is Arthur trying to orchestrate a masterplan of some sort? He wanted to kill her, then save her, etc. other events in the city. Does he know something Nino/Gomer doesn’t? Anyway, back to Sonya. She was bad for business for the whole city and had to go. Gomer is still stuck in the past. Annnnd back to Arthur. Now Gomer picks up Nino’s words, what is Arthur’s angle, who is he? Discussion on how this all started and similar suspicions concerning Arthur. Gomer is confused on how to move forward. They discuss loyalty and bullshiting in the city. Gomer says he lacks some motivation and also mentions David’s name – throwing anger his way and saying he’s sloppy. Nino gives a recommendation for Boe. Nino says things would have gone differently had this situation not arose; Gomer and Sonya could have been given business opportunities. Upon splitting, Nino hands over a contract to Gomer. Nino asks Gomer about his knowledge of Raja.

### **Episode 71 [Aug 5, 2019]**

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/467384195

**Executive Summary: Gomer makes an assurance, knowledge of a journal in the criminal underworld emerges, a retaliation effort starts to manifest, and a new terminal service is accessed. Can Sonya be reasonable? Nino investigates the DOJ’s Summer Initiative and solidifies a deal with a hitman. Arthur settles into the shadows in Los Santos.**

Nino starts his day off with a line of coke.

At Harmony, Nino sets up a future meeting with JJ regarding “trucks”. A Michael is also there. Nino gets his GTR serviced. Eddie drives up. Jordan is there as well.

**Business is a Bitch for Gomer:**

TL;DR: Gomer informs Nino that he will not get in the way regarding what Nino needs to do with Sonya. Business is a bitch.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Gomer calls and Nino asks if he will get in the way. Absolutely not, he replies. However, he seems eager to provide his perspective on Sonya. Nino assures him that Gomer will not be held accountable for Sonya’s actions. Gomer admits she is a hothead, and Nino says Sonya has made a lot of people in the city upset – not just Nino himself. Gomer brings up the state announcement. Gomer agrees that Sonya’s actions were odd, to put it simply, and says he tries to real Sonya in. He doesn’t understand the logic of her last decision – he knows she stepped out of line. Gomer is informed Nino is just getting started and that the city will retaliate against Sonya. Gomer is remorseful. Nino wants to know how close Gomer is to Sonya. Nino describes Sonya’s biggest mistake. Nino says he will handle this situation; she will get retribution. Business is a bitch, Nino says. Nino admits he took her primary source of business away. Nino wants to know if Sonya can be reasoned with – Gomer says he can reign her in; however, she’s not on his leash 24/7. Gomer says he understands. Nino continues, the time and effort is sometimes not worth it when it comes to business. They conclude the call.

**Speedy's Pawnshop Maneuver Aftereffects:**

TL;DR: The two discuss the pawnshop takeback and a few people in LS. They acknowledge Speedy may not be the best for the job of picking up Sonya, due to the pawnshop maneuver.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino and Speedy meet on an old bunker. Nino is pleased Sonya no longer has control of the pawnshop. Speedy says Sonya was stupefied when notified about it. They talk about Coop. Nino wants to know if giving Sonya the pawnshop originally was a convenience for Speedy. Nino says Murphy ratted him out, and that he would like Speedy to frighten him a bit. Speedy got a 40% cut off pawnshop business when Sonya ran it, looping back to convenience. Unfortunate loss, but he took it back for El Hefe. Nino lets on that he alluded to Gomer the pawnshop takeback. Speedy confirms he doesn’t acknowledge his relationship with Nino. Speedy’s shipment will arrive soon, on the old price. They discuss Dundee’s raid and then Speedy’s rise in the barrio. The greens apparently threatened OTT with his life to make a music video for them, after the Vagos were given screen time. Speedy requests a few days to pay back the hardware shipment; he’s a little low at the moment: it’s okay with Nino. Payment can also be made in other ways than cash as well, they acknowledge. Money isn’t everything. Speedy says if he grabs Sonya, that’s another thread that can connect him to Nino – this job may be too close, considering his recent pawnshop move. Speedy also acquired a new silencer.

**Curtis and Status Quo:**

TL;DR: Nino proposes LB pick up Sonya for a talk; he explains a bit about the situation. Are these recent raids connected to this Summer Initiative? There’s a lack of lawyers in LS.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino meets with Curtis and asks about Sonya; he knows the basics, at least what Nino already knows. Nino proposes that if LB can scoop Sonya up for him, it would be very beneficial. More LB might wake up later. If Curtis sees Coop in the city, he is to tell him to give Nino a call. Nino wants to discreetly know if Coop is still alive. They discuss future heists. Nino indicates LS has a lot more to offer. Curtis updates Nino on LB status quo. They talk about Dundee’s raid and someone else’s raid on Forum Drive. Connection to the state announcement about the Summer Initiative? Relation to Sonya shooting a judge? Nino informs about Murphy’s actions and warns about him. There’s a lack of [preferable] lawyers in this city. They talk about Sonya’s insanity and how she concluded Nino’s and Coop’s names: who talked?

Nino reads a past text from Boe regarding a misunderstanding.

**JJ Informs of a Journal in LS:**

TL;DR: JJ informs Nino that Raja has a secretive journal; what is the purpose of this journal?

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino and JJ link up. JJ is unhappy with Raja – this guy is dating a cop, wants to sue the Vagos, and has a journal on a lot of people in the city. Red flags. JJ had planted a mole in Raja’s QF organization. They change locations due to a sudden noise. Now up at the windmills, JJ wishes to protect his mole’s identity. Nino informs of his knowledge on Raja; what is known about this journal? JJ’s mole was shown the journal by Raja, it has names and more. JJ trusts his mole 100% plus says the mole witnessed Raja combine an extender to a piece of hardware and passed this information along to JJ.

JJ won the race for the suppressor but didn’t accept it because he didn’t want to publicly have it. Raja’s notebook is very concerning. Why does he have it? Does he have a connection to the cops? JJ has it handled; he will investigate. Raja could be a powerful ally, but this journal is dangerous. This journal is very suspicious to the criminal world. Nino and JJ cut off business from Raja. They talk about the Vagos and Raja. JJ received his shipment of hardware.

Nino answers a call from Eugene. Turns out Arthur set Eugene and Gladys on the case to kill Sonya. Eugene informs that Slim was raided as well as Dundee. For Slim, his raid was escalated from a simple traffic stop. Eugene wants a clean house; the raids are making him paranoid. Nino is surprised to learn Eugene’s illegal activities. Nino warns of Murphy. These raids are interesting.

**Allen is Informed of a Retaliation Effort Regarding Sonya:**

TL;DR: After some brief business talk and learning that Coop is still alive, Nino explains the Sonya situation to Allen and that retaliation will take place.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Allen shows and talks about the recent uptake in raids. Nino lets Allen know gang-affiliated workers can continue to work. Cluckin’ Bell is a company that will hire criminals and remain doing so. Allen says he is done remediating between Raja and the Vagos. Cluckin’ Bell now has over 100 employees – company will need to adjust soon. First project: find someone who can deal with and manage the fixing of the trucks. Allen says Erin said that Coop was shot. Coop is alive according to Allen – he was wearing armor when shot. Sonya’s name and a Jason Perth(?) are names linked. Allen doesn’t trust Sonya.

They take a drive. Nino says he thinks Sonya tried to kill him yesterday to a shocked Allen. A line was crossed – Nino explains his current situation with her, starting with David. He gives Allen this privileged information and tells him not to share. Allen is told Nino has future plans for Sonya. Be cautious, Nino says. Her actions are unexplainable; she could come after anybody, even Allen. Nino also says Murphy is a rat and to not trust him. He exemplifies more about Murphy and also introduces Arthur to the conversation. Allen wants to witness Nino’s dealings with Sonya. Allen is to acquire names associated under Sonya. Gomer is discussed.

Nino calls Allen on second thought – if he can, Allen is to learn more about the reason behind these raids without making it noticeable.

Nino calls Bucky, who quickly and happily informs Nino that he just got married to Cheevy, a stripper. But she fell off a roof and now Bucky is just assuming she is dead. They talk about how the city has changed but is still crazy.

On the road Nino sees the LB. Tony gets into the GTR and Nino and Curtis race. Nino crashes, repairs. Less than a minute driving again, Nino crashes again - this time he’s immobile. Tony fights a local while pulling Nino back to the car. Tony repairs and is rammed by another local. He has to repair again. And again. And again. Isn’t he a mechanic? Ah, it’s running now. Pillbox destination.

Tony carries Nino inside past Frank. Choi treats him as Tony continues slapping him. Released, Nino lets Tony try out the GTR. Tony suicide drifts successfully. They accidently drive into Ellie. Tony has his hands full with two bodies down and repairing the GTR. An EMT shows. Back to Pillbox. Nino chats outside the hospital to Tony, Curtis, and Denzel. There’s a court case soon, with Jerry presiding.

A private number calls and uses DW’s phrase: “Number?”. But it doesn’t sound like DW. Who is this? Nino drops Tony off on Lean Street and awaits a ping.

Ping received. Nino arrives to the location under the pier. A masked man is standing next to a white vehicle, motionless, holding a knife. He puts away the knife on seeing Nino. Nino exits his GTR and the man walks over. He says “Welcome back,” hands over an unknown usb device, and promptly drives off.

At Sahara, Nino inserts the usb into a computer. He is connected to his new terminal system. He reads the first email from Morpheus, welcoming Nino and others in the network back.

A second email comes in, also from Morpheus. This one highlights Nino’s most recent payment in the amount of $1,910,000. DW’s net pay is -$500.

JJ has more information to pass along to Nino. The mole reclarified details on the journal: when it was shown, Raja announced that if anything were to happen to him, the contents of the journal would be released. He’s a dead man, Nino and JJ agree. Also, the cop Raja was associated with is Jenny Hall. There may be a timer – external circumstances could easily lead to the journal’s disclosure – such as the Vagos taking out Raja. Why hasn’t this journal been found, why now?

Nino calls Vinny. They meet in the tuner shop and Vinny services the GTR. Nino pays 4k and inquires about Sonya. Vinny doesn’t know her that well but gives the adjectives hothead and crazy. They talk about cars and cards. [They talk about TwitchCon in RP]

Nino looks for Erin at Harmony but she’s not there. He talks with some Vago in Garage Q. Random shots are fired; everyone is okay. Nino gets a text from Arthur saying he is awake.

Nino gets a new email from Morpheus: concerning pending contracts. These are the same as Nino had before, just transferred into the new system documentation.

Erin calls Nino. She wants to meet, but Nino is waiting for Arthur. They talk about chocolate and Tim Tam cookies.

**Arthur Discussion:**

TL;DR: Nino updates Arthur on the Sonya situation. Can Sonya be reasonable? They discuss hunting Sonya and if Arthur himself should be the one to do it.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino talks with Arthur in Erin’s house. He informs him of the hellfire situation of Sonya and Coop. Nino admits he thought Coop was just joking with him until he received the call from Boe - the latter is connected with Sonya. Boe confirmed Coop was shot up with a Tommy Gun. Nino wants Sonya alive. He updates about Sonya, queen of the pawnshop: he took her business. Arthur thinks bad move; she no longer has a focus, nothing to go back to. This will make it harder to pick her up. Ego. Nino says, mine now, does she want it? Doesn’t matter, replies Arthur. Nino wants to know if she can be reasonable and logical. The answer here will determine her fate. Nino gives some examples of her actions. She does have value, though. Being ruthless isn't necessarily bad. Nino says Gomer told him he will distance himself from her, and that he was regretful of her decisions. Arthur stops pacing across the room.

This is your show, says Arthur. Evaluate what is important. Think who you would bring to the table. I have given second chances to people, states Nino, yet those people understood it was better to work with me than not: they could also be reasoned with. Nino wants to talk to Sonya, with the safety of a muzzle, to determine her reasonability. Depending on the results, he will slit the throats of her workers in front of her. She runs with a lot of mutual people, warns Arthur. “Give me an example of one” is met with silence. Nino doesn’t consider Gomer on that list. Sonya’s actions are of a drunken fool, says Nino.

The Summer Initiative is discussed: the city is on lock. Just today there have been two raids: Dundee’s gang and CKR. Sonya, in shooting Coop, may have tipped the scale in favor of releasing this initiative of the DOJ. She may have indirectly contributed to these raids with her connections. Sonya may have made more enemies than intended – even in her own house. The entire criminal world is affected. Your choice, says Arthur. It’s time for the pickup, says Nino. Nino still wants to converse with her; her actions were severe enough to hit Nino personally. She will probably have a warrant: there will be a race to get her, a time limit. Nino versus the police.

Arthur wishes to discuss Gomer – this may be a good test for him, if he can pick up Sonya to deliver. Nino returns that he presented the idea already to Gomer; he let Gomer know the decision is in his hands. Trust from Nino can be gained. Arthur continues to pace, silently listening. If the world around you is on fire, even if you didn’t start it, you must question if it’s worth living with it. It’s not personal, it’s just business, says Arthur. Nino says Gomer picking up Sonya will be enough of a betrayal, there is no need to make Gomer kill her. Arthur disagrees; he has been lower on the totem pole with all his mutual contacts with Gomer. He has been careful to appear weak and undependable with his words when interacting with Gomer. Yet he’s done all of it, he’s been faithful on his word on everything he ever said. He’ll present this latter to Gomer, and present Gomer’s only opportunity of picking her up. If Gomer doesn’t, Arthur will.

Arthur and Nino don’t think Gomer will do it. It disturbs Arthur, he thought Gomer was better. How can he be loyal to someone who shoots up a judge right after that state announcement was made?

We cannot wait on Gomer, says Nino. Arthur says Nino should sent out all his resources or Arthur can take care of it. Why not both? Arthur is worried about the former getting in the way. A disturbance is heard outside; Arthur checks the window but doesn’t hear anything. It would put Sonya more on edge if people she expects to hunt her do and say nothing. Nino has connections to a lot of people in LS, and the pawnshop was taken in less than 3 hours from the shooting with Coop. She must have some paranoia. What about Boe?

Nino says Boe was possibly communicating with Nino without Sonya’s knowledge. He reads Boe’s texts. Boe was part of a job he didn’t want to be. Nino, acknowledging not knowing Sonya, says Sonya will now either take a step back and revaluate or actions or try to pick someone else up and do something. Nino trusts his crew.

Nino questions why Eugene and Gladys know to look to pickup Sonya. Sonya will walk straight up to Gladys, says Arthur. He knows Gladys talks, he’s redirecting Sonya’s focus – and with it, Sonya will become more bold and more reckless. And if Gladys actually succeeds with the job, the pickup is faster. Arthur’s business is in taking, not giving; Gladys is in this business as well. She was instructed to tell Eugene, seems she has done so.

Time to make a move. Nino puts Arthur on the hunt. Arthur gives a condition: if anyone provides her a sanctuary, Arthur will take them out, regardless of any safety net or relationship with Nino. That’s alright, says Nino. Nino mules a bit, the problem lies in that Arthur does not know who his enemies are. Sonya’s already going to prison, is it worth sending a knight to catch a pawn? From this perspective, it’s not logical. It comes down to if Arthur wants to hunt her himself. Arthur says on this one instance it actually is logical, providing only that part of his profession, if done right, is not really noticeable (the other part of his profession is his doctor work [mechanic]). He gives Nino himself as an example – Nino’s skepticism of him, and Nino’s desire to know as much as he can. Arthur sees this situation as an opportunity to demonstrate this other part of his profession. Nino gives full reign, but that he would like to see her before she dies. Nino offers supplies and services, then exits the house.

Boe calls; he offers to give Nino information. Boe says he will move so no one will overhear his end of the call, then proceeds. Sonya, a friend of his, had issues with someone (name kept secret) so Boe helped. Turns out that someone was Nino, Boe later finds out. He says she picked up Coop to contact Nino, and is also probably going to continue her path of picking up people, like Murphy. Boe figured out one of Sonya’s workers Dave might have been following Nino, which he thinks perhaps escalated this whole situation. He’s completely right, but Nino simply replies back that Sonya crossed a line. How does a misunderstanding lead to a judge being shot? Where’s the reasoning? Boe says he didn’t want to be involved in this. He offers to handcuff Sonya and deliver her to Nino; he doesn’t want any more bloodshed and wants to help initiate a peaceful talk for both sides. Nino says to give him a call when Boe acquires the package.

Nino sees Chips on the side of the road; Kayden seems to have turned Australian, according to Jordan. Nino drives Chips to Garage Q; Chips is building a crack mountain for his crack savings. Jordan runs into Nino’s GTR with his tow truck in the parking lot.

**Questioning Coop:**

TL;DR: Nino pries Coop for information regarding the Summer Initiative. Coop questions why. They discuss the DOJ.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino calls Coop and picks him up from the court steps. Coop informs the nearby officers he’s going on a business trip. On the road, Nino almost hits a jaywalking Brenda and the two share maniacal laughs. Nino asks Coop how he’s doing – he’s been shot, kidnapped, was in the ICU for a while, is in pain, and sounds depressed. Nino asks if they caught the Jenovah(?) guy Coop mentioned kidnapped him; nope. Coop says things are in motion though. Hmm. What does he mean by that? Coop refrains from saying. Nino pries for information on the Summer Initiative launched by the DOJ. Coop doesn’t give much, but then drops Sonya’s name as the one who kidnapped Coop. Nino pries for information Coop has on Sonya and if she’s connected to the initiative. Coop doesn’t give. Instead, he says a deputy Bobby Smith saved him and that he luckily had police body armor on. Nino continues prying. Nino introduces Coop to the “oof”. Coop rambles about reasons for her possibly picking him up, jumping everywhere but Nino. Nino continues prying.

The initiative wasn’t named after Sonya, Coop says. I just hate when summer ends, but the following is not too bad, Coop manically chuckles. Nino continues prying. Coop acknowledges Nino’s fishing and questions why he should give if Nino doesn’t. Coop says the beast was poked, the wrath will be felt. The legal system will fight back. Each is frustrated the other doesn’t discuss full business with him. Coop says some raids took place, Slim’s because he killed cops. Nino sees this as a problem; criminals will react differently now. They discuss “oof” versus “yikes”. Coop says his information is sensitive and why should Nino know anyway? Coop says Sonya will be dealt with accordingly. They discuss Dundee’s raid as well. The initiative is to clean the streets and the city of heinous crimes. It gets dangerous when other people are unwillingly involved in crimes. Nino wants to know the criteria for the Summer Initiative regulation. A judge can be your best friend, or your worst enemy, says Coop.

Coop questions the fishing for information again. They stop at a store and buy body armor. Nino says he just wants to know how Coop and his job is going. Coop starts talking again, and they both discuss the DOJ postures. Nino gives an idea of the DOJ offering something like a stipend to encourage a news company to become more active. Coop complains about Nino’s driving and Nino kicks him out. He circles around and picks Coop back up.

Thalia calls, she needs help. She states Brenda wants to know how to have sex. On his way to Pillbox, Nino notices Jordan on the ground and carries him the rest of the way to the Pillbox.

Nino, Thalia, and Brenda go to the roof of Pillbox. Nino and Thalia proceed to teach Brenda how to have sex. They pretend to be the Brenda and Saab pair, question Brenda on what she does now, and inform Brenda of their past ERP activity. They give pointers, such as communication is important. Brenda takes notes.

Nino chats to Boba. Nino discovers Jordan impounded his car. Funnyman texts that he is awake.

**Erin's Investigation into the Summer Initiative and Promotion to CIO:**

TL;DR: Nino and Erin discuss the Summer Initiative and ways to determine its’ criteria. Nino informs Erin of her new CIO position in Sahara.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Erin joins Nino. Pinto is in a nearby car and suggests Nino “smell his rubber”. Nino gives chase and taps the back of Pinto’s car, sending him spinning off the edge of a mountain – however, he lands upright on a road and continues driving. Damn. Nino and Erin discuss Erin’s driving skills and the potential for her development. Nino questions Erin’s knowledge about the initiative put into play and the recent raids. The police don’t know much about the initiative but did tell Erin that C2 association count is more apparent. Are detectives involved, Nino wants to know. Erin’s still investigating. Nino states that knowing the criteria of this initiative is incredibly valuable; he wants to do an experiment with someone with a clean record: give them a C2 and observe if they get raided. And so forth. Nino extends on this plan, escalating it. Erin thinks it would be easier just to investigate and converse with people.

Erin reminds Nino he owes her a manager position; Erin is promptly given responsibility of Eugene, to her dismay. She’s now the manager of the interns for Sahara: currently, Eugene and Gladys. Allen, as COO, will determine her pay. CIO: Chief Internship Officer. Nino wants coke. He crashes, finds the GTR, then repairs. [Meka is disconnected]

**Funnyman’s Contracts:**

TL;DR: Funnyman builds trust with Nino. Funnyman will refuse Sonya’s contracts and has a lean to an allegiance to Nino.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino acknowledges Funnyman’s authenticity. Funnyman is building a team of which Nino will have access. Nino asks when Funnyman is awake/operational: EST evening hours. Nino wants to know the full expertise of Funnyman and his team. Nino says he wants knowledge on Sonya. She’s a contractor of Funnyman, but he says money talks. Funnyman agrees to grab Sonya if Nino is around and he sees her, even though it would involve severing a contract he has with Otto and Gomer, both of whom know Funnyman. Nino determines information is all he seeks then; Funnyman’s discretion is important. Nino explains his reasoning for picking up Sonya. Funnyman concedes a prior hornet’s nest she unleashed. Funnyman says she has pawns for the pawnshop and talks about her prior dealings with him. Nino continues his reasoning and includes Otto and Gomer – Sonya’s actions affected them negatively.

Nino suggests that Funnyman pick up Sonya if and only if he can do so discretely. She will recognize my mask, says Funnyman. Nino alludes to the pawnshop takeback; Funnyman wants details, Nino doesn’t give. Funnyman is building trust with Nino. He says she’s offering 10k for Funnyman to determine who’s dropping her men. Nino requests Funnyman refuse her contracts – he will offer more money. They will remain in contact and discuss raids.

As Nino is leaving, he stops and turns around. This business is one of information, what would you like from me? Funnyman shows he already has weaponry. He states his contracts for hits are more expensive and require more planning time with cops and doctors.

Nino arrives to Siz’ house; Erin is there. They chat about the Fulker family. Talk on evolution. Nino receives an email from blackm00n that states 2 blueprints are now available for order request: the bullpup rifle and the special carbine. Talk on weird entertainment.

Siz and Nino discuss the raids. Nino describes his RP plan to try to determine the criteria for the state initiative. Siz knows just the guy – unfortunately, he just recently dumped him in the ocean. Oh well. Maybe he’ll survive ICU.

**Arthur’s Quest Continuation:**

TL;DR: Nino connects Funnyman to Arthur. They discuss Arthur’s future actions.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino calls Arthur and informs him of his Funnyman meeting without giving Funnyman’s name. Nino offers Arthur this acquaintance’s assistance – Arthur wishes to know who he is. Nino says he has no name, they’ll have to meet. No, it’s not the Wizard, either. Arthur states that if he reaches Sonya, Nino may not be getting the conversation opportunity he wants. But all for it, send more people for Sonya. A tweet from Murphy displays he is on the courthouse steps. If Arthur picks up Sonya, he will restrain her and keep her alive for Nino.

Nino links Funnyman to Arthur. He drives back to Erin’s house to speak to Arthur in person about his new connect. Funnyman calls: target is in the city, via yellow pages. Nino reinforces on the call his demand to pick up Sonya by Funnyman if and only if he can do so without compromise and only initiated with preferable minimal risk. Extra 3k requests Funnyman. Done, says Nino. Arthur will make decisions on Nino’s behalf while Nino is sleeping. Arthur saves Funnyman’s number as “Contractor”.

Arthur ponders his future actions. He’s considering messages to Boe and Gomer. Nino informs of his spoken agreement with Boe. Arthur says he has been with Allen recently – what should he do if Allen gets picked up? Ignore, says Nino; he’s not in the business of getting baited.

As Nino is leaving, Arthur says he will do everything in his power to keep Sonya alive. This causes Nino to turn back around. What does he mean by that exactly? He’ll “hold onto her”.

### **Episode 70 [Aug 4, 2019]**

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/467383292

**Executive Summary: The GTR is stolen, Allen considers the gate, the VU venture continues, and Arthur is brought in closer to dealings. Several events lead to the beginning of Sonya’s Storyline.**

Nino pays the Russians for yesterday’s work. He questions a nearby Eugene why he’s been missing work. Apparently, the intern doesn’t have email. Together they drive away from the parking lot in the GTR. Eugene offers his boss a tuner chip; already have one. Nino crashes; he was reading twitter again. Eugene doesn’t have coke. Nino informs Eugene he has competition for his position – Eugene pulls out a bat. It’s okay, his stars are fine, but the future of getting more stars is impacted. Eugene must discover who else is buying materials in the city and is told to gather more himself. Turns out Eugene already has what Nino requests; this intern seems quite resourceful. Nino’s passing out, so heads to the hospital.

Allen is in the lobby, he seems hurt. After seeing Allen’s doctor notes, Nino realizes the ambulance he was in yesterday was the vehicle that hit Allen and put him in ICU for a bit. Nino meets and briefly chats with Bayo, legal enforcement. He seems self-conscious about his eyebrows when provoked.

Back in the car with Eugene. Nino has a feeling the economy may have adjusted; analysis to do. Huge amounts of pixerium, guns, and gold bars are entering the economy. Nino asks Eugene if he has a large suppressor. There’s a race tomorrow for just that, with 1 VG for entry payment. A tweet by Payne reveals that the contents of recently foreclosed houses will be put up for auction. Eugene’s head explodes.

[Mehdi jumps to Kindle briefly to check to see if his house foreclosed]

After this quick nap, Nino and Eugene reconnect at Integrity. Eugene talks to Payne on the phone and tries to convince him to sell all the houses and contents to him on the spot. Nino drops Eugene off at his house to grab some material for Nino. Then they head to the crafting shop for Eugene to modify his loot. They separate and Nino chats to Chips on the sidewalk. Chips’ mountain is doing well, and Nino learns Ricky is making Chips guard the nearby houses. On the road again, Nino questions Eugene about trading in the economy. At a bank, Nino pays Eugene. After dropping Eugene off, Nino stores Eugene’s material in his office.

Nino calls Curtis. They agree to a chat later.

**GTR Stolen:**

TL;DR: Nino’s GTR is stolen by Reed’s son. The LB assist Nino in reacquiring it. Reed’s son is drowned and shot.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino meets with Curtis at the Bowl(?). Nino inquiries about QF. Vagos have beef supposedly. Gang business talk. Nino tells Curtis to prep a house – for hardware drop offs. Curtis suddenly remarks Nino’s car was just stolen. The two race back down the steps and Curtis speeds after the GTR. Nino tracks it and follows, running.

Tony calls, he can pick Nino up and help chase the stolen GTR. Tony drifts around the city. GPS shows near QF; first stop. It’s moved. They keep drifting. Tony spots it, then they retrack. They gas up. North Rockland Drive is next. It’s Tony and Nino in one car and Curtis and Ellie in another on the hunt. The GTR is found; “Oi” is heard as Tony smashes it and shoots a few bullets. They’re driving again; they lost view.

Reed calls; the guy with Nino’s car is Reed’s “idiot son”. Reed is informed to tell his son to ping Nino.

Does Tony have handcuffs? Yup. A brief stop at the courthouse and Nino quickly chats to Arthur.

Reed calls again; his son only wants to speak with Eddie. Plan time. The call comes in; it’s Reed’s son. Nino pretends to be Eddie and tells him to meet at the airfield – he promises big money for the GTR to bait him. Tony and Nino go to a clothing store. Nino sees his GTR arrive. Tony is dressed as Eddie, and parks his car, giving the keys to Nino. Nino answers the phone call from Reed’s son again, apparently, he recognized Tony’s car from earlier and is on edge. Tony says on the radio he is walking up to the GTR. Tony’s disguise didn’t work, and the team of 4 are on the hunt again.

The GTR whips by in the other direction on the road, and then flies in the air. The GTR is acquired! Nino and Tony pull guns on the driver and take him hostage. Nino repairs his car and thinks of the possibilities he could do to the guy. Tony leads the way to a remote location. After pulling him from Tony’s trunk, Nino mentally torments the guy. He jumps in the water. The guy mentions he cannot swim, yet Nino keeps dunking him underwater. The 3 LB members stand by. As Reed’s son gasps for air, LB shoots. Downed. Nino hands over a contract for LB to work. They separate.

**Allen and the Gate:**

TL;DR: Nino updates Allen on his legal business dealings and gives him advice on the aftermath of walking through the gate - but makes sure to remind him that it is Allen’s decision for himself.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino calls Allen. He’s at Harmony; Nino drives in that direction.

At Harmony, Nino meets with Curtis, Allen, and Ellie. Allen is still trying to reach Shaw to discuss his accident yesterday. Allen and Nino leave in the GTR. Allen may get victim-relief-fund money, yet the police have a layer of protection while on duty. Allen says he will stay out of the situation involving Raja as he sees it as a losing battle. Allen is still on the fence whether or not he will kill the dog. Nino talks a bit about the unseen underground world – once joined, one becomes just another peg in the puzzle, moved and controlled. There is no more governing one’s own destiny. Nino wants to make sure Allen understands the depth he would be reaching should he choose to go through the gate. Allen considers out loud and still seems unsure – this is a huge decision for Allen.

Reed calls – is his son dead? Nino replies yes and describes the last moments. Reed is pleased: the “little shit” is finally gone. Sounds like he was causing a good deal of trouble. Reed assures there will be no retaliation from the Bikers. Nino has an opportunity for the Bikers later.

Nino uses this chance to question Allen about what he thought after overhearing this phone call.

Allen is concerned Eugene is asking him about materials. Allen does not wish to intrude on Nino’s business, yet he does not know who works under Nino, which makes it difficult for him to conduct his business confidently. Nino talks about some of his business (remaining on the legal side). Nino recommends that Allen feign ignorance if anything comes up that seems to be illegal and inform Nino. This seems to be the best path to take for him now, as he cannot, at least not yet, know of the illegal activities. They discuss the racing event tomorrow and the prize of the silencer. Allen is told to try to get one large silencer. Nino encourages progressive business ideas and reminds Allen of his allotted budget. Allen is to work on some of the budget. Vinny will be brought slowly back into the fold of Sahara but will not have access to the funds. They discuss the unfortunate downfall of Merryweather (security firm). Nino says Allen can confide everything to Arthur, the Fixer. Allen shows Nino a tuning setup for his GTR, then is dropped back off at Harmony.

After another car crash, Nino sees Arthur and Ducky on the side of the highway – he stops to chat. Arthur is fixing his vehicle. Garrett pulls up randomly. Chit-chat about some TV show. Arthur and Nino agree to meet in a few minutes.

**Arthur's VU Venture and LS Alliances:**

TL;DR: Nino and Arthur discuss people in the city and where alliances really lie. They talk about Arthur’s VU venture and have a talk with Gunn.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

In the parking lot across from the courthouse, Arthur wishes to take his new car(?) so Nino parks his GTR. Erin shows. Eugene shows. Arthur drives off – he thinks Eugene is an asshole and can fuck off. Arthur washes his car. Nino still needs to acquire some “things” for Arthur. The Dundees and Gomer need an ego check, says Arthur. Nino wants to know where Arthur fits in all this. The two discuss Allen’s potential lawsuit against the city. Nino indicates to Arthur that he doesn’t think Allen is fully ready but that he gave him some advice. They talk about some of the few empty spots left in Los Santos. They discuss the massive influx of pixerium and the consequences. Nino says he is interested in the market fluctuations – something for Arthur to just keep an eye on. Arthur then says there is a situation happening with a Sonya Summers, who Speedy gave ownership of the pawnshop, Gomer, Slim, and OTT. OTT and Sonya are at odds for the pawnshop, OTT works for CKR, Sonya and Gomer are together, Gomer is CKR. So where will alliances lie?

Curtis calls, he has what Nino needs. Contract for the LB given earlier in the day complete.

Arthur gives Nino a hard time about Thalia. After taking a quick phone call, Arthur informs Nino of his VU venture. The VU is an attempt to be a neutral ground. Jordan knows of Arthur’s ability from the Tuner Shop races, and is affiliated with the VU, so Arthur sees this as a potential path. Arthur needs somewhere to store his tools, but not necessarily a place to do his work. Right now, he places them in vehicles, not a prime option. Nino says the VU could be a dangerous place for Arthur: it’s a hot spot and target. Then again, that could actually be a positive – a lot of faces in and out, the obfuscation can cover activity. Arthur also likes the central(?) location. Arthur talks to Ricky on the phone. After the call, Arthur admits Ricky could be a good lackey for himself. They stop the car outside of Benny’s and climb onto a building. It was an effort to see the VU from the roof but they can’t. They stay on the roof anyway and continue talking. Back to the car and then to VU.

Nino and Arthur meet Gunn and Jordan in front of the VU. A very short call from Ricky. They enter the VU. Nino alludes to sex later with Gunn, who agrees. Arthur gets to business: he tells Gunn he needs a place without gang colors to work. He references “Doctor’s orders”. Gunn warns that privacy could be an issue, Chang has keys to the VU and all the doors have the same locks. Arthur asks more about Chang. Gunn tells more about the backdoor access. Nino wastes no time with a sexual innuendo. The locks on the doors will be problematic to Arthur. Nino and Arthur head out, with the latter saying he will schedule another meeting with Gunn soon.

Nino and Arthur discuss the Vanilla Unicorn. Gunn? Supply and demand? Incentive? Control on neutral ground. Side gig. Nino is convinced of the VU as the chosen place, this plan can progress further. Yet, the gangs present a problem – Nino needs to step in it looks like, he gives his perspective.

**Abandoned Cluckin' Bell Truck:**

TL;DR: Allen informs Nino that one of the chicken trucks was found abandoned with bullet holes. Seems to be gang shit, Nino isn’t too concerned.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Allen calls, there is a problem. One of the chicken trucks was found abandoned on the side of the road near the docks with missing tires and a missing driver. The police were alerted to this via “shots fired” alerts. Nino tells Allen to provide the records of people pulling the trucks to the police. Allen only has one license number. The truck has been impounded already so the police cannot run it. Nino says to ask the other current drivers to see if any of them know. Allen informs Nino some Russians were circling the factory yesterday. Nino attempts to contact Boris. No answer. Maybe a dock tax? Arthur and Nino check out the docks in Arthur’s car. Discussion on the Wizard. Nino calls Allen, and finds out Allen is circling the Grove area, as Big E is last on the log list. Nino is not too concerned about jumping into this situation, as Big E is the current leader of the Ballas. Possibility of gang shit, no pattern regarding the trucks specifically either. Allen is to keep Nino updated. Out of curiosity Nino checks the current employee list to see the total count, and notices Speedy was fired. Odd.

Nino lets Arthur in on more of his business dealings. He tells of his use of contracts to test trust and reliability of the groups in the city. He drops his most reliable names: Randy Bullet, CG, Curtis Swoleroid, LB, and Jay Jarvis, Harmony. The top-secret heist group. Now Arthur knows. Nino tells Arthur to keep this information to himself. Nino decides to give Arthur some contracts to do the same: test others. At this point, Nino does not feel he has any pressing issues with anyone else in the city. Arthur wants to know what Nino did to Vinny. Nino talks about Chang Gang and their inflection of SBS. Nino and Arthur talk about place and perspective in the city. Nino wants to bring Arthur closer to his dealings. Nino sees Arthur as very beneficial. Nino wants Arthur to get a house, preferably away from the city. Back to the VU topic. Green gang will be an influential hurdle, says Nino. Control is important. Nino and Arthur arrive at a bank, and Nino hands over 50k cash to Arthur for a house. Should Arthur take the VU from Nigel? More talk on the VU and what to do. Arthur suggests it might be helpful to assist Big E via rebuilding the gang. Nino already has a great relationship with the Vagos and doesn’t see Big E as having the fortitude to reach the same level.

Nino heads to the bank and runs into Milton. Payne will be passing along his realtor company to Milton in a few weeks, according to Milton. Nino is skeptical.

Curtis and Ellie meet with Nino to drop off their contract materials. They are paid 55k.

Nino gets back in the city and messes with Gladys, who then asks to race later. Arthur, watching, sighs. Allen shows up and chats to Arthur.

**An Intern for the Intern:**

TL;DR: Nino holds interviews at Sahara for an intern for Eugene.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino does some burnouts and spots Eugene. The intern’s intern, Gladys, is utterly useless to the intern. Eugene needs a quest. Who makes these attachments, Nino wants to know. An unknown mysterious man. Eugene’s assignment: get an intern. Nino tweets out intern interviews at Sahara. Messages flood in expressing interest.

The first interviewee shows. Eugene immediately pulls out his class 2. Eugene begins questioning. The second guy shows in unprofessional clothes and is told to change. Third guy shows, he finally found the place. And another super nervous guy. Saab calls, Nino invites him to Sahara. More people show. Saab arrives. Eugene is now ranking the candidates on a whim. Erin arrives. Chaos ensues. Nino, Eugene, Saab, and Erin group together and devise a quest for the candidates as a test. After being forced to sing a song, they begin, in pairs. Chang and Ramee arrive, Ramee is added to the quest.

The first pair arrive. 4/6 score. Eugene yoinks the coke and shares with Nino. Next 2 pairs arrive. And more coke with them, yay! Some chaos. Gladys gives a speech about dicks and ultimately wins the intern position. Nino announces Eugene’s promotion to junior intern.

Nino talks to Arthur on the phone about an OG Ghost gang member, who indicates to know Nino. Arthur plans to stop by Sahara. They discuss Eugene.

Nino informs Eugene of his other boss, Arthur, and introduces him when Arthur arrives. Eugene is to treat Arthur as he does Nino. The two exchange numbers.

Nino and Arthur leave and discuss Ghost. They pass OTT, which strikes Arthur as curious as to why OTT is here. Nino gives Arthur a set of keys to Sahara. They drive off. Arthur says Eugene and Gladys will not be loyal; Nino disagrees with the Eugene assessment. Arthur talks about the OTT situation involving Sonya, Gomer, and Speedy with the pawnshop. Also Dundee. Nino shares what he knows of OTT.

Nino calls Ghost. They plan to meet at the barbershop. Arthur informs that Rudi has something dark on Allen.

Nino and Arthur meet with Ghost and McCafoney(?). Two unknowns saying they are green, Nino wants to know what they know. Nino doesn’t want to converse until he can confirm Ghost’s identity. Ghost mentions he’ll set up a meeting later with known green members. He then says 10-4, prompting Nino to nope out of there.

Nino and Arthur discuss the meeting. Arthur shows Nino a closed off tunnel. He busts the wood planks with his car then walks in with Nino. Cool spot. Business talk, storage issues and hardware. They return to Arthur’s car. Only 1/3 of the hardware available is in the city, Nino says. They try to check out the club next to Sahara, but turns out it closed [inside removed in server]. Arthur is still on the lookout for a place. He’s still trying for the VU.

Some unknown calls, he works at Cluckin' Bell and wants to know if the job is legit, even though he himself loads boxes of chicken into the trucks for delivery. The fuck is he calling Nino for and questioning the activity? Arthur is given his number and calls to get the unknown’s name. “Luke Karnt” is found in the employee list and subsequently fired.
Back on the hunt for locations. What about Bahama Mama’s? Arthur’s location choice needs to be populated, have loud noise, and have quarantined area(s).

**A David, and a Sonya [Sonya's Storyline Begins]:**

TL;DR: A man named David is discovered tailing. Nino and Arthur interrogate. Arthur kills him after speaking to Sonya on the phone.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Blue car with a white strip is discovered following. Arthur speeds up, testing. After stopping, the following car is seen stopping shortly after passing. Sure enough, it was tailing. Arthur calls 911 for crashing into a pole, and Nino runs on foot towards the blue car. Nino pulls his gun on the guy and makes him get in the trunk after dropping his gun and ID. Nino picks up the pistol and grabs the keys. Nino drives back to Arthur and parks in a nearby underground garage. He calmly waits for Arthur to conclude with the EMS. Arthur drives in. Arthur searches the unknown man and questions why the tail. Into the trunk of Arthur’s car the man goes.

They quickly stop by Pillbox for Arthur to grab his kit. Nino hides the pistol in a nearby bush. Arthur comes back and informs the guy of the fun activities ahead, including sightseeing. He then gives a warning monologue indicating torture. The man in the trunk claims to not know Nino.

They arrive at the tunnel. Arthur introduces the man to his new home. Nino takes him further in while Arthur prepares his kit. The man says he was told via private number (American male voice) to follow a black muscle car (Arthur’s). Claims to not know Nino or Arthur. Arthur returns, says this guy’s boss just called, it’s Sonya. So apparently all is fine now. So are we keeping him alive? Nino requests to talk to Arthur: is he certain the man was sent just for him? Arthur explains the glorified clusterfuck: basically, he’s pitting Sonya and Dundee against each other to see who he wants. Sonya calls Arthur, who informs her that this problem is now his boss’. This is a dilemma for Arthur. There are a lot of people involved with different agendas, with different connections and levels of loyalty. What to do? Nino approaches the man who we now know as David. He interrogates him. Chef calls, Nino asks his perspective on Sonya – she cannot be trusted, she can be reasoned with, occasionally causes problems, is nosy, and Chef is okay with killing her. Arthur now takes a call. Nino continues his interrogation; the guy now admits to working for Sonya.

Suddenly shots are fired on Nino’s right. Arthur has returned and states Sonya made the decision. Nino and Arthur exit the tunnel, leaving the body. Back in the car, it is revealed Sonya’s lack of respect for Arthur, which helped lead to her man’s death. She also doesn't think she needs Arthur. Arthur begins discussion on the aftermath effects, Arthur is readying for war to destroy her. She does not wait, she does not talk, she only acts, Arthur says.

**Arthur Prepares for Sonya’s Retaliation:**

TL;DR: Green provides hardware. Arthur acquires spare keys to Murphy’s house and Erin’s house, along with a new car.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino and Arthur meet with Green. They’re running 4. Looks like the 2 guys from earlier are legit. Nino inquires for some hardware for Arthur. Nino assures of Arthur’s authenticity. VU discussion: ownership, Nigel, turf, neutrality, Nino and Arthur’s interest. Who controls who and what. Gladys arrives with Arthur’s requested supplies (ex. vest). Talk moves to Sonya. Arthur gives the rundown to Green. He offers 20k to Green for a pickup of Sonya. Too easy, says Dexx. Discussion on her effect on the city and ground rules. Nino remarks about his business disruption. Arthur and Dexx exchange numbers for a future hardware drop for Arthur.

Arthur explains more of the situation to Nino – how he now looks like a rat/snake. Nino wants to know, Gomer or Sonya? They discuss Sonya and the VU (not necessarily in relation). Nino leaves in Arthur’s car and Arthur stays behind for a Grove drop.

Nino picks up Arthur, who is now dressed in all black with a bullet-proof vest. Sonya has burned everything that Arthur has been doing, and he will not do anything more excessive than she deserves; he doesn’t want her to die. They meet again with Green, who gives some hardware to Arthur.

Arthur doesn’t have a place yet from Payne Real Estate; where should Arthur go? He needs to stay hidden. Nino calls Jerry and asks for a house. Nino calls Murphy; he has a house on Fudge Lane. Not an ideal place, but it’s something. Talk on Dundee’s raid. Nino calls Dexx, Arthur needs bullets for his hardware.

Nino and Arthur (in disguise with helmet) meet with Murphy at his house. Murphy’s skeptical, but hands over spare keys to Arthur.

Nino calls Erin. Same deal, wants spare keys. Erin agrees to 3 days access for a manager position in Sahara.

Jerry calls back, he didn’t have much luck finding a house beyond creeping out people.

Back with Green. Arthur now has bullets.

Erin’s house with Arthur, who gets keys. She’s skeptical, similar to Murphy. Arthur demonstrates his ability. Arthur needs a car, Erin works at PDM, they drive there.

They arrive to PDM. Nino gives Erin money, she buys a car. She sells it to Nino. They travel back to Erin’s house and Arthur does some healing work on Nino because of their recent car accident. Nino sells the car to Arthur. The latter changes his clothes as Erin seemed to recognize his other ones.

In Erin’s house again, Arthur drops the disguise to discuss with Nino. Arthur doesn’t trust Erin or Murphy. Few people have her initiative, could be useful. He has a plan idea and is excited to be involved in some action. Arthur wants his car. They get back into the GTR.

At Garage Q, Coop shows. Why isn’t Nino answering his calls? He feels alienated from Nino’s life. Nino pushes Coop away again due to the situation. Nino has deep shit to do and can’t hang with Coop right now. Nino heads to Benny’s for a car fix. Nino calls Arthur to confirm he picked up his car at the garage while Nino was talking to Coop behind the fence; Arthur’s good.

Nino is pulled over - leaves with a warning.

**Murphy's Fail:**

TL;DR: After speaking with Murphy on the phone, Nino realizes Murphy made a grave mistake. The situation with Sonya is worsened.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino calls Murphy. He is in a predicament. He thinks there is a relation to a client of his with the spare keys he gave earlier. Nino’s name comes up. What did Murphy do? Murphy is trying to remediate this situation himself. How did it escalate to Murphy calling Nino after talking to Sonya? Murphy blew it; he’s just a lawyer, what’s he doing?! Conversation over.

Nino and Arthur discuss Murphy’s actions. Arthur madly paces inside Erin’s house; he’s also been awake quite a while. Arthur sees Murphy as vile and petty. Again, Sonya. Dundees. Murphy needs a lesson, he’s a liability. Shouldn’t be Arthur, though. Sonya’s actions. Dondi AHEM, meant Arthur, fixes the 4th wall. Arthur doesn’t think Murphy is that smart, “he’s basically Garrett with a fucking law degree”. Nino realizes he misjudged Murphy, at least a bit – he expressed little resistance to deviating from understandable actions. Dundee, Gomer, money, life, deals, Sonya, inconvenience, neutrality effort, Murphy. One conclusion on Murphy: only useful as a lawyer, nothing else. Let’s talk about Sonya again. People in Los Santos. Arthur recommends Nino talk to Sonya, but with backup. Nino decides on a pickup of Sonya for a private talk.

Murphy calls again, he wants to clarify his position. Murphy’s still trying to remediate. Nino confirms Murphy talked, also, Murphy’s house as cover for Arthur is blown. Nino is very disappointed with Murphy. Welp.

Talking with Arthur again, Arthur paints a gruesome picture of what he wants to do the Murphy and what he thinks Murphy is. Nino doesn’t want to take Murphy’s life; instead, he wants to instill fear into the man - he’ll have to live with the fear.

Coop keeps calling; Nino doesn’t answer as Sonya and situation is providing quite a distraction to his daily life. A state announcement is made: “Nino, very important. take the call.” Nino picks up the next ring. Coop calmly states he is with Sonya Summers, kidnapped, surrounded by guns, and has a Tommy gun to his face. Nino pretends to not recognize the name. Sonya is requesting to meet with Nino alone with Coop life as a threat. Nino says he doesn’t give a shit, Coop says, you don’t fucking care about me? The phone call suddenly disconnects. Wait, was it real? Did Coop actually get shot? Nino thought Coop was just messing with him like he always does. Uh, so Coop may or may not be dead…

Nino receives a text message from an unknown number – someone wants to talk about a misunderstanding. He rings, Boe answers. He tells Nino Sonya wants a meeting. Now he’s trying to remediate. Nino gets Boe’s location, who is with Sonya. Nino sends this spot to Arthur in a text. He tells Boe to tell Sonya to call him. He gets more information from Boe. So a pawnshop lady wants Nino’s attention.

Sonya calls. She wants to know where David is and that she and Nino share a common problem: Arthur. They agree they don’t know each other. She retorts Arthur fucked them both. Nino doesn’t give indication of knowing what happened to David, or even who he is. Nino says he didn’t kidnap a David. She goes back to the Arthur topic – he’s a snake, she states, and gives the Dundee situation as an example. Nino inquires who Arthur is. Nino says he is a boss to a lot of people and is not responsible for everyone’s actions. Nino inquires why Sonya is involved in all this – what’s her perspective? Business is business, he ends.

Boe calls. He mentions that Coop was gunned down by Sonya. Nino questions how his own name was brought into the situation by Sonya and how his name was tied to Coop. Boe claims he didn’t know Nino was involved until Coop started yelling his name. Nino wants Boe to bring Sonya to him. Nino reminds Boe of the opportunities he can provide him and that this conversation didn’t happen. [Mehdi is not going to capitalize on this information for reasons]

Nino calls Arthur to inform him that apparently Sonya shot up Coop. Arthur offers his life to Nino, who doesn’t take it. Nino wants to muzzle Sonya and talk to her. They discuss Coop’s relation to Nino. Nino explains his concerns regarding Sonya. He has other people in the city who can snag her; Arthur can take a nap.

**Speedy's Takeback:**

TL;DR: Nino and Speedy meet; they pass each other information on others in the city. Speedy will reacquire the pawnshop from Sonya and pick her up for Nino if he sees her. Nino questions Speedy for his thoughts on the VU.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino and Speedy meet. Nino inquires about Sonya; she’s causing problems. She shot up Coop, who is she? Upon learning Speedy gave her the pawnshop, Nino asks him to take it back. Will do, says Speedy. Nino explains the situation of Sonya shooting Coop. He wants her business shut down. If Speedy sees Sonya, he is to pick her up and restrain her for Nino. Speedy elaborates on Sonya: she collects the newcomers for pawn (and gets pixerium) and pushes some cocaine and crack; she works closely with Gomer, CKR. She also is friends with Raja. Speedy is confident in his Vagos boys against CKR. Nino now explains the start of this situation of himself with Arthur, without mentioning Arthur’s name (David following and David in the tunnel). Nino is curious if she can be tamed and if she is reasonable. Nino passes Murphy’s name and Snake’s name to Speedy for consideration. Speedy assures no problem, he will reacquire the shop and pick her up if he sees Sonya. Nino asks for Speedy’s request for hardware to push via email. The VU – what if it was a true neutral place? Speedy is worried about green and Gunn considering the VU. Next, Raja – Speedy says Raja assumed Speedy robbed him, shit escalated: Speedy now sees him as a snake. It’s not really a war between the Vagos and QF according to Speedy.

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/417662706

Nino goes to his apartment. Mehdi talks about getting a house and that there's actually a custom interior made for Nino, but it was never finished.

He drives around in his Pfister when he sees someone crash into a sign. It turns out to be Curtis from the Ballas. Nino gets out of his car, and it looks like they're about to get into a fight. Curtis talks about how Nino's just some rich asshole who's flexing his Pfister in the hood and how he doesn't know anything about how it is to actually live there. Nino tells him that he grew up on the streets and was where Curtis is at a few years ago. Curtis then tells him that he's got it easy cause his skin isn't as dark as his and how everyone tries to keep the black man down. Nino tells him that he's probably just not working hard enough, that he needs to start small and build on that. They talk about how Curtis makes money and street rules.

Curtis then asks him how "Mr. Pfister" makes his money. Nino introduces himself and warns Curtis that if he keeps calling him Mr. Pfister he'll shove a gun down his throat and pull the trigger. He then offers to buy Curtis' jewelry and they exchange phone numbers.

Nino heads to Fast Lane Imports to get his Pfister fixed. He tries to call Negan but seems to have the wrong number saved. He then calls Matthew Payne. Payne doesn't seem to remember him and Nino says they met the other day and he was planning on buying a house. Payne says he's busy and he'll call him back in 10 minutes.

He then looks for a mechanic in the yellow pages and finds one, but he doesn't pick up the phone. Right when he hangs up the phone, Curtis calls him. Curtis says that he's got the stuff Nino's looking for and Nino says he'll ping him. He goes to a good location and pings him.

Curtis shows up at the location and Nino checks the merchandise (22 chains and 6 watches). Curtis asks what Nino needs this stuff for and Nino tells him not to ask questions if he wants to do business with him. He offers him 100 a pop, grabs the jewelry and heads to the bank to get the money. He heads back to the meeting pot and gives Curtis $3,000. Nino tells him that he might be interested in that stuff if he comes across it in the future. Nino then asks if he got some coke, Curtis says not right now. Nino tells him to bring some next time they meet.

Nino then offers him a car jacking job and tells him to get a Comet. Curtis says it can be done in 45 minutes. Nino gives him the drop off location. Curtis leaves and Nino says that he needs some coke. He sees the tweet from Ronald Juggler (mechanic at Fast Lane) and replies that he'll head over there right now. He then continues to drive around the city and talks about how these car jobs work and how he's gonna play Nino very safe. He then remembers that he's supposed to go to Fast Lane and heads over there.

He arrives at Fast Lane but doesn't see anyone there. He tweets at the mechanic that he's waiting in the lot. While he's waiting Mehdi talks about how Arma Nino would walk around with Class 2s and how this wouldn't work on GTA.

After waiting for 5 minutes without any response he says fuck it. Payne calls him and Nino says he'll pick him up at the Courthouse. Payne hops in the car and Nino asks if he knows where to get "something". Payne doesn't understand and they continue talking about houses. Nino says he might buy 2 houses and that he's interested in buying a warehouse. Payne replies that they don't have any warehouses and that he really needs a burger right now. Nino stops and gives him a burger. Payne then tells him that houses up in Vinewood are $300,000 down payment (50% down, 50% in payments). Nino then asks about the storage of these houses, any Payne says they're all the same. Nino then asks about the price of houses in the hood, which surprises Payne, but Nino tells him not to ask questions.

Nino then shows him a mansion he's interested in, but Payne Real Estate doesn't even own the house so he can't sell it to him. Nino then says they should go look at houses in the hood, preferably on streets that are generally unoccupied.

They head down to grove and Payne tells Nino to be careful around that area, but he doesn't care.

After they head over to what will be known as Prune Street later, and Nino is interested in buying all 10 houses in that street for 50k each. Nino tells him that he needs to ask around if that price is fair.

Nino then receives a text from Curtis that the job is done and tells Payne to get the fuck out of his car. Curtis pings him and he drives to an alley where Curtis is waiting for him. He tells him to get in the Comet and follow him at a safe distance. They drive down to the docks to drop off the stolen car. Nino leaves the scene, goes to the bank and withdraws $1,000. He then calls Curtis from a payphone and tells him to come to Legion Square.

Curtis arrives 5 minutes later and sits down on a bench behind Nino. Nino walks by and hands him $1,000 for the job.

Nino runs into Sun Moon and asks if he got any more of "that stuff". Sun Moon says yes and they agree to meet at his place. Nino looks at what Sun Moon has to offer (22 Chains, 8 Sunglasses, 3 Gameboys and 2 Watches). He takes the Chains and Watches and pays Sun Moon $2,500. Nino tells him that next time they meet, Sun Moon should show him some of the other stuff he's got and he'll buy what he needs.

Nino calls Tim Lee but he doesn't pick up the phone. He then drops off the jewelry he got from Curtis and Sun Moon at the Motel.

He then heads to the hospital where he runs into Jacob. Nino says he hasn't seen Tim in a while and Jacob tells him he'll call him if he sees Tim. Jacob then says he's busy and Nino gives him his phone number.

Nino then checks himself in with Brenda. There's no doctors so he gets treated by local doctors.

Nino checks the Yellow Pages and calls Kevin Shaw. Shaw says he's busy in Mission Row PD and mentions that Murphy got arrested the other day. Nino tells him to call back when he's free. He then heads to the Courthouse and checks Murphy's record, which shows only a couple traffic infractions. When he leaves the Courthouse, he runs into some guy (Jaboody) that tells him about his Tow Truck disappearing. Nino shows him how to spawn it again in the phone app. He then gives him a ride to the job center where the truck disappeared. Nino introduces himself and gives the guy his phone number. The guy then sends him a text saying "Chili's on me - Jay". They talk about fast food for a while and part ways. Mehdi then talks to chat about Fast Food places and taxes. He then ends the stream with some clips.

### **Episode 3**

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/417659566

**Executive Summary: A mysterious [to chat] call from a man leads to Nino hunting down Rolexes in LS. Nino reconnects with some LeanBois members.**

Nino calls Saucy Taxi for a ride. Reggie answers. A dude with short pink shorts and a leather jacket arrives and takes Nino to Garage Q. Nino spontaneously asks for coke; the guy likes to party but doesn’t know a dealer supposedly. Number exchange. Random talk.

A private number call: someone asks Nino where the fuck he has been. He’s late for something and hasn’t been responding to his emails. A delivery needs to be done or they’re both fucked. Nino says the worry is ill-conceived then pays Reggie $100 for the cab. Speaking again to the man on the phone, Nino says it’s not a problem: he’s got the stuff they need. But what about the shit we need right now? Nino refreshes his inbox. New email says something like “we require 20 authentic Rolex-brand watches by end of day, verify authenticity of brand, and you’ll be contacted to provide identification number and provide location”. Not a big deal, easy, says Nino. The other guy is late for work and tells Nino when his shift ends and he needs the watches by: soon, 6.

Reggie calls, he has coke. They plan to meet behind the Pillbox bank.

Nino calls Sun Moon and inquires if he has Rolex watches. Moon will have to check.

Nino now reaches out to Murphy to ask how he is and what exactly went down yesterday. And will he still be able to be Nino’s lawyer. Then asks if he can ERP with Murphy’s ex. Nino asks for Rolexes.

Nino refuels and tries calling Dragon, DK, and Buddha. None answer.

Quick withdrawal at bank across from Pink Cage and a member of the police department [LeWolfy / Dante] meets him outside regarding his car parked illegally on the sidewalk. The officer seems to get another call and leaves.

Nino meets with Reggie, who is now dressed in a tan trench coat and brown hat. Reggie gives 4 bags of cocaine and 3 joints. Nino tests some of the coke product and pays $1200. New dealer, yay. Nino asks about Rolexes; Reggie will check.

Nino meets with Sun Moon in his Little Seoul shop. Asks for Rolexes, per “wedding gift”. He has 7; Nino will take them all for $700. Nino questions authenticity. Nino pays via ATM outside. Potential future businesses in capacity of investments with a partnership in the city. And if Moon wants anything exported, Nino is a good contact.

Outside of Benny’s, Nino asks a random if he has any Rolexes. The guy may be able to get some, but not in less than an hour.

Countdown is getting close; another line of coke. Maybe the hood? Tweets out indicating watches needed for a wedding.

Saab calls! They reconnect for a few seconds then, sniffing, Nino asks for Rolexes. Doable, says Saab. Sweet.

The man calls again as Nino is changing clothes – he asks for his ID number then determines he called the wrong number [hidden way to acquire Nino’s ping for location meet].

Back on the phone with Saab shortly thereafter: no Rolexes to be found from him. Shit.

Great, now being pulled over. Nino quickly hands his papers over to Dante and stresses he is going to be late to a wedding. Free to go, Nino moves to the curb a few seconds later as his phone rings. Pulled over again by Dante for illegal parking. Free to go again.

**A Dock Worker:**

TL;DR: Nino meets with a contact who wants the Rolex order: this man seems to know what Nino is doing. Yet the mystery continues…

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Meeting time, with only 7 Rolexes: fuck fuck fuck. Dressed in all-black and with a mask to hide his face, Nino heads to the docks. There, he meets with a man dressed as a dock worker, complete with orange vest, yellow hard hat, and safety glasses.

“Do you know what time it is?” Nino mentions he was only able to acquire 7 Rolexes. The man, apparently in shock, repeats the number seven twice, then remarks that he is “fucking dead, I’m fucking dead”. Pacing, he asks Nino to hand over what he could get. Nino requests extra time for large orders and that the dock worker deal with the imperfect transaction. Dock worker says his ass is on the line too – and that it’s up to Nino to do his job with good connections.

Nino wants to know when his next paycheck comes in. Couple days is the answer.

Dock worker again stresses his worry of Nino not performing up-to-par: he mentions that he has somebody who can help Nino out. “Fuck you,” Nino retorts. Nino threatens that he will walk if this shit continues and speeds off…right into another vehicle but we’ll ignore that part…he speeds off confidently.

Random calls and offers some Rolexes. Some bickering on price and a ridiculous amount requested later, Nino promptly hangs up. Nino changes back into a casual outfit then makes his way to Tequila-la after Saab invites him. He listens a little while [MikeTheBard].

Chats with Angel outside: Dante gets in the middle.

Saab limps over and they remark on how long it’s been since they’ve seen each other. Saab says he was married, had a house, cat, etc. then lost it all in that time. Wtf marriage. Reggie joins the conversation. Talk on rinse and repeat. Ramee joins. Nino asks what’s up with the Rolexes and their going price. There’s a pawn shop taking them low. Saab’s gives a briefing on some legal charges. Talk on mechanics. Saab offers his services for paying off car payments: he can do discounts. A person clearly drunk is carried by. Talk on women.

Across the street, Nino and Saab separate from the group. Nino inquires if Saab wants anything, literally anything. Money, says Saab. And he’s willing to work for it. What about cocaine? How much, gimme price you’re willing to pay and I’ll get back. Drill or thermite? Tony shows. DuckerZ wonders where the Yeezy’s are. He’s in debt. Nino asks Saab and Tony about realtors/storage. New contact referenced named Matthew Payne: Saab lets on Payne likes drugs: vulnerability acquired.

Tony has like 10 Rolexes in his house?! Gimme. Cool. Numbers of Saab and Tony saved. Nino checks out the pawn shop.

**Javier’s Introduction:**

TL;DR: Nino meets with a man in the city who seems to be the one referenced by the dock worker earlier. This new guy coolly insults Nino multiple times, eventually earning some interest and respect with continuous banter. Tag-team. Together, they make moves in Los Santos to fill a new order from their supervisor: a count of 30 mobile phones.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

A phone call from someone with a foreign accent indicates a mutual friend: he’s the person the dock worker referenced. Apparently, Nino’s pissed off some people. They plan to meet at the casino parking lot. The fast-talker’s name is Javier.

Ping received, enroute. At some docks, Nino and a man in a brown plaid suit face off for a few seconds before Nino approaches. Nino keeps a high awareness inside Javier’s trailer, checking outside the windows. Expectations of their upper management is discussed. Banter. Nino explains his perspective and why expectations of work are not aligned.

Suddenly, Nino requests Javier put his hands up. Is he a cop? Javier makes a smart remark instead, and questions Nino’s authenticity. Standstill. They decide to each describe the man they work for. Javier describes the dock worker Nino met earlier. They still question each other’s legitimacy.

Javier says he’s babysitting Nino. This prompts a strong response and counter from Nino: management isn’t thinking right. Unfazed, Javier comments on Nino’s outburst and checks his phone – he says his boss is named Trevor. This seems to calm Nino down a bit and satisfy him. Must be the right guy.

They surprisingly come to an agreement: tag-team for the pair. Nino thinks of ERP and they now talk of ERP tag-teaming.

Javier throws another insult, calling Nino an old man. Nino excuses himself outside and walks to his Pfister, on which he draws a line. Turning back around, he makes his way to Javier’s parked car and jumps onto the hood. He proceeds to smash the windshield as Javier looks on motionless. Back in the trailer, Javier asks if Nino is feeling better then again throws the same insult. Nino chooses to manically laugh it off. Javier thinks Nino is addicted to the cocaine. More banter. Nino says Javier has balls.

Debate and heat on expectations continues. Javier keeps saying Nino’s crying; Nino keeps saying the order requests are ridiculous.

Nino says they’ve gotta move. New email: “Will require the following items: 30 mobile phones of any brand with an activated SIM card. Due to recent events, payments for the previous shipment will come at a reduced rate and should be held until the completement of this request. The timeframe is approximately 48 hours. You will be contacted for delivery.”

Javier didn’t get the email: sounds like Nino’s issue. Outburst by Nino, some deliberation by Javier – one condition for Javier to join: he gets to drive. Fuck yea, actually a positive.

Or maybe not at least initially – after a calm calculated look at the broken windshield of his Lincoln, and muttering about 5k worth of damage, Javier slams his foot on the pedal and rear ends a steel shipping container. Even.

Banter continues in the car. Nino changes into a suit to look on par with Javier. Can’t be underdressed tag-teaming. Black suit, red shirt, red Yeezy’s. Nino wants to know what Javier can do. They examine the newest order.

Pitstop at Pillbox, where Nino flirts with the receptionist. Treatment by King. Nino tries to get Javier a vasectomy because he has over 30 children. Nino greets a man who looks like Sun Moon. Some communication later, it’s Leslie Ling as his name. Seconds after meeting, Leslie soon whips out his dick for Nino to see. Time to leave.

Javier and Nino make their way to Burger Shot while listening to Jackie’s “Burger Shot” song. Some burgers later, they discuss how to complete their phone order. Nino calls up Sun Moon for phones. Javier and Nino judge each other. Nino calls up Saab for phones.

Javier admits he is now with Nino as he himself has been having trouble with his latest orders. He talks on the ridiculousness of the requests. Coke on the car. Arguing about fashion.

At Garage Q, they both stop a woman to ask about Javier’s dress. Some ramblings later, the woman asks for some money. Nino doesn’t lose an opportunity to hit on her.

Sun Moon returns Nino’s call: pick up time for the phones. 15 count. Nino hands over $1500. Now it’s Javier’s turn to do his magic and get some phones via the yellow pages. No answer. Nino yells at a random guy on the road and asks if he has any phones for sale; it’s the same guy Nino asked for watches yesterday and now he’s confused. Wtf is Javier? He shows again, and this random makes a deal of 2k for his phone. Begin bargaining between Vladimir(?) and Javier. They fail to get his phone.

Saab calls, he can get 15 in the same number of minutes. Maze Bank Arena to meet someone named Arturo – he shows and says he specializes in cars but is willing to do other jobs. Javier talks to him and brings him in.

Nino questions how deep Javier is with the company. Seems they are both in pretty far. They connect more by sharing stories. Nino says he placed a better earlier and now owns half the casino. More talk on gambling and other stuff. The hell are the LB? Oh, they got in a crash. More talk with Javier.

LB show: Saab, Ricky, and Avon. Some math later and they determine on a price. Ricky inquires if Nino needs IDs. Talk on voting for mayor. Talk on the product. Nino questions the products and if they’re SIM activated – hm, might be better to not use these phones and just get new ones…Nino asks Javier to explain. Javier calmly tells the LB: “Alright, the situation is that Nino doesn’t like the phones, alright. It’s as simple as that. So you’re going to have to get something else or I’m going to have to break all your knees right now.” Some outbursts later and Javier is asked to stand back on the side. Nino says he doesn’t want these phones to have any trace back to himself or the LB – that’s his worry here.

Back in their vehicles, Nino leads everyone to an ATM machine for payment. Nino pays Saab 3k.

After the deal, Nino and Javier continue with their conversations. Pillbox to schedule Javier a vasectomy. Leslie shows, and after a few words from him, Javier decides he no longer wants an operation done at Pillbox. Nino sends an email saying he has all the phone ready for the order. Then counts the ones in the truck – down 3. Phone call to Saab again.

Nino and Javier argue for Leslie’s phones – he has multiple, and needs them all for “casual conversation”, “bitches”, “business”, and “secretary.” No phones to get here.

### **Episode 2**

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/417658028

**Executive Summary: Nino hires someone named Speedy as temporary personal security and Murphy’s coke connect for Nino turns out to be Buddha, an old friend. Nino continues to polish his image with the police force. DK is given an assignment.**

Nino starts off his day in Pillbox. Doctor King treats him as Nino rambles away. Talk on IVs for after partying nights: new business idea.

Outside of Pink Cage, Nino chats with the singer who performs at Tequi-la-la along with two other people.

“Let’s bounce out,” [Mehdi says,] right before hitting a sign in his Pfister and lurching into the air. The locals call for help. Dante shows, Nino goes on a rant. Worried he might not make it, he instructs Dante to take his pants off, not look in the pockets, and burn them. An EMT arrives on scene, Nino’s still pissed at the sign. Dante impounds the car at Nino’s request.

The EMT hands over Nino to King at Pillbox with the words, “He’s a fun one”. Conversation now on what exactly he meant. King treats. Nino talks about his Yeezy’s and the effort it will take to replace them.

**Speedy’s Introduction:**

TL;DR: In need of a taxi ride, Nino calls Speedy, who also informs Nino that cocaine is currently dry in LS.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino needs to go to the impound lot to pick up his Pfister; he calls up a taxi service, Speedy’s. The man on the other end of the phone accepts the business, says he’ll come right away to pick up Nino, then calls Nino “puto,” which is infuriating to Nino. Speedy arrives in a yellow car and downplays his original verbiage, saying it was related to a “planet”. Maybe this guy has coke? Nino asks for some yay, just a bag or two. Unfortunately, it seems Speedy only has weed. He’s Vagos. Nino wants to set up a party in the barrio.

Speedy says the streets are dry, there’s no cocaine to be found in LS. “I’m a soldier, not a seller,” Speedy states. Discussion on coke vs. crack. Speedy will see what he can do. Gonzo is a good nickname, says Nino. At Pink Cage, Nino waits for Speedy with the coke. He comes back with oxy, not coke. Nino starts freaking out, how is he supposed to party without coke?! He sends a cryptic tweet asking for coke.

Speedy and Nino notice on twitter a concert at the amphitheater. Destination acquired. New rant. Arrival at amphitheater. Nino hires Speedy as security detail and pays him $500 for the taxi service. At the event, Nino asks if a woman wants to party. She redirects him to Murphy – so, does Murphy want to party?

**Murphy’s Coke:**

TL;DR: Nino and Murphy go on a coke trip and Nino checks Murphy on import/export laws.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Now talking with Murphy [Nino has initially met Murphy in LS already off-stream] on the side, Nino says he wants a bag or two. Murphy says he can hook him up. A woman, Abigail, approaches and Speedy shows his security skills. Nino asks if Abby has been on a yacht. Talk on her dating service. Talk on marriage. Turns out Abby isn’t single.

Nino inquiries if Murphy has considered his proposal (regarding Murphy being a lawyer for Nino’s business). He mentions Shaw and asks if Murphy would be opposed to working with Shaw or other lawyers. Murphy has problems with Shaw and would prefer to not work with him. Abby walks up again. Nino asks again for coke, and Abby says Murphy knows everyone. She’s Murphy’s paralegal. So she’s got no filter. She walks back to the stage and Nino questions Murphy how much he tells her and why he keeps her around.

Nino pressures Murphy to do a line; they dip from the event and leave Abby. Murphy speeds to his house. At his house, Murphy drops the last bag of coke on the carpet. Nino drops to the ground in panic and frantically tries to sniff the powder from the carpet threads. Damn, not much able to be salvaged. As a second resort, Nino takes a few gulps of mouthwash then downs it after with some scotch.

Talk on mixing drugs. Nino questions Murphy’s knowledge of the law in relation to truck deliveries and legal enforcement interference. How would Murphy treat and advise a situation such as this? Back at the amphitheater, a local rams Murphy’s car several times. Nino headbutts the guy and Murphy pisses on him.

It appears the talent show has concluded, and Abby is nowhere to be seen, so Murphy drives Nino to Pillbox.

Nino chats with King at Pillbox again. On his way to the impound lot, he runs into a guy who seems quite nervous. The guy says he was just kidnapped and someone in the city is forcing him to sell guns. Dragon’s name is mentioned.

Murphy calls, apparently, he can connect Nino to some coke. That was quick.

In Murphy’s office, Nino smokes while waiting for Murphy to conclude multiple phone calls. Ultimately, the guy Murphy was calling can get Nino whatever he needs in terms of coke. He’ll broker a meeting with Nino and the dealer. Nino is interested in creating a lawyer group of Coop, Murphy, and Shaw. He asks about retainer details; Murphy’s pretty open.

Nino calls Adrienne, the DA. He explains he’s considering lawyers in LS and asks who he should go to for inquiring about laws. Quick chat with Eugene and Mel in Garage Q. Then with Speedy, who verbalizes Nino’s resemblance to Charlie Sheen.

Nino meets with Adrienne and Judge Bison. [Mehdi is disconnected before anything is really said and then chooses to play Kindle for a short bit].

At Garage Q, Nino is approached by Vinny Pistone, who owns the dealership from which Nino bought his Pfister. The man with Vinny calls Nino’s Yeezy’s fake then apologies profusely, introducing himself as Ramee. Nino and Vinny berate Ramee’s scarf. Vinny can upgrade the Pfister. Nino says he is in the import/export business. Vinny reproves Ramee the whole conversation.

Quick trip to Benny’s, a convenience store, gas station, and Burger Shot. Murphy calls, Vinewood Bowl for the coke connect. Pulled over by Officer Angel; Nino hits on her. He gets a ticket for speeding but not for the red lights; her number is written on the back.

**Reconnect with Buddha:**

TL;DR: Murphy’s coke connect for Nino turns out to be an old friend, Buddha.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

At the Vinewood Bowl, the coke connect Murphy contacted turns out to be none other than Lang Buddha, who’s dressed like a woman. Both are shocked upon seeing the other. Buddha states he’s cross-dressing due to the need to remain hidden from the police. Buddha quickly drops his disguise and inquires Nino why he’s been away from LS and out of contact. Murphy and another man watch the interaction.

Now to the topic of the coke – Buddha offers 700 for 4 bags. Throughout, Buddha keeps berating Murphy for not telling him the customer prior; he’s embarrassed to be seen in his current ensemble by Nino, one of his good friends he hasn’t seen in a long time. Nino asks if Buddha is still hustling; is he still pushing product on the streets after all these years? I never stopped hustling, he replies.

Buddha says he killed 3 people earlier that day and gives details of his present predicament. The other man starts to interject – he thinks Buddha is admitting to Nino too much. Gas station on Grove is set as the place to meet for the coke transfer.

Buddha and the man drive away and Nino asks Murphy if Buddha is okay. He’s hiding for principle but is good. Next, Nino asks about Angel. She might be a lesbian, or maybe bisexual. Talk on ERP and drugs. [Scuff happens to Buddha’s storage and Mehdi is told via RP through Murphy.]

At a gas station, Nino spots a lone SWAT helicopter. Seeing an opportunity, he calls up Angel to report. She arrives and wonders if it’s possible to lockpick – turns out yes. Nino easily gets some information on the helicopter technology in LS – police chopper intel. Suddenly, a gang local punches Angel, knocking her out. Nino throws some punches back and the local pulls a knife. Nino is stabbed and they both lay on the ground.

Legal enforcements arrive on scene and transport Nino and Angel to Pillbox. Treatment. Angel thanks Nino on his way out and Nino thanks Angel for the date. An Officer McClane praises Nino’s Yeezy’s.

Nino crashes into a building [Mehdi was basically changing his vape batteries]. EMS truck arrives. Nice chat with the EMT [Ducky/T3r0].

Nino shows to the Vinewood Bowl to watch the Fight Night club event. Shaw approaches, can he have the keys to the Pfister? Sure. Ducky the EMT talks briefly to Shaw: someone’s stealing Shaw’s car and he should call 311 to report. Nino starts business talk – Shaw indicates that he and Murphy on not on too friendly of terms. Before driving off, Shaw says yes to being on retainer for Nino.

The event concludes and Nino talks with Vinny and Ramee. Shaw returns with Nino’s non-scratched Pfister and summarizes his conflict related to Murphy. A suspicious news reporter is seen nearby; Nino and Shaw check out a body on the sidewalk. Nino drops Shaw off at Integrity.

While running through the streets, a man asks Nino if he wants a ride. Nino accepts and the guy aggressively starts driving. The stranger wants to off a Ricky. The driver’s name is Bogg. At one point, he swerves into a fire hydrant, and, upon noticing the fountain of water shooting from the hydrant, jumps out of the vehicle and launches himself into the stream.

A plan is put into place to jump Ricky; Nino gets into the trunk and Bogg continues driving. Then he says, oh, he’s dead. No work and success! Pays for ride. Now at Pink Cage, Nino finds himself in the vicinity of a woman pouring gasoline around Murphy’s car because “Murphy’s got a new girlfriend”. She shoots and the car goes up in flames. The news reporter drives by and doesn’t seem fazed at the exploding car.

Nino chats to Abby and learns the woman was Murphy’s ex. Talk on marriage. She’s CEO of FB, the paralegal of Murphy, and runs a dating service. Nino pries for information. Several lights flash in the distance and Nino drops his cigarette; Murphy may be dead – Nino and Abby race over in time to see Murphy being lifted into an ambulance.

A change of clothes into a suit. Calls Dean/DK to inquire about upgrades for car. There’s a new boat of cars coming into LS soon; Nino should hold his cash for now.

**DK’s Assignment:**

TL;DR: Nino meets with DK and gives him an assignment to collect a certain type of car to deliver to a specific uncompromised location.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

While waiting for DK at a gas station, Angel pulls up and refills her gas. DK arrives and Nino instructs him to follow. In a secluded dock(?) area, Nino asks if DK remembers the place he dropped off the 3 cars from before. Then he gives an assignment for about 1k: 2 door coupe with minimum top speed 150mph, no damage, delivered same spot. This location cannot be compromised. More money and more risky assignments potential if this goes well.

DK says he understands and adds that he is trying to open a legal dispensary for weed in LS. Nino is pleased thus far and seems quite interested in this dispensary. Nino asks what DK thinks the timeframe for this assignment will be. 1 hour is the reply. They split.

Nino is pulled over by Trooper DuPont and Trooper(?) Tribble. He goes on a rant. Nino makes it out with only a warning.

At Harmony, Nino talks cars with Vinny and Charles, a mechanic. Chang, Ramee, and another 2 guys show. DK calls again and says he’s heading to the location with the vehicle (Bullet?). Nino’s impressed with the time turnaround.

Nino discreetly reads a newspaper across the street from a bank. DK runs up but his words are covered by Nino’s “Do you know what time it is?” Hinting low-profile. It’s awkward when Nino realizes he is low on cash and they make their way back to the bank. Nino hands over 1k and car talk ensues. Negan and Jordan are good contacts for vehicles in LS.

### **Episode 1**

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/417657031

**Nino Chavez Returns to Los Santos** - but under what pretense, and with what endgame? Why is he back?

*This is the first stream appearance of Nino's return.*

Return Clip: https://clips.twitch.tv/DaintyBenevolentChinchillaHeyGuys

**Offstream: Preparation**

*Click "Expand" link at your own discretion for events that transpired off Mehdi's stream. Please note, Nino is relatively involved/connected.*

[Disclaimer: Stories below are obtained from memory after the passage of several months. Due to this, they may not be fully accurate. Please correct if able. This also does not encompass the entirety of Nino’s off-stream moments; this is just what I am able to procure via other stream perspectives. Mehdi says some of these are recorded; should they be released, this can/will be updated.]

**A 30k Bet -**

While looking for connects in LS, with a relatively low-key profile, Nino runs into Tim Lee. The two start talking and after some days pass Tim lets Nino in on more information [possibly including part of his reach to the dark web business] [Or did Nino meet Tim in casino as follows?]. At some point, Nino and Tim go to the casino to gamble. Tim is doubtful that Nino has enough money to gamble. Some bets are placed; it’s Nino playing blackjack with Tim as the dealer and one watcher nearby. Edna is currently security personnel of the casino. A 30k bet is placed, which Tim and the casino on-hand funds cannot cover. Nino wins. While still at the table, a man is seen from afar just staring in their direction [Jacob Harth]. Nino indicates hello and the man scurries away. Tim informally gives Nino 50% of the casino, under-the-table, as the 30k was just too much.

The creeper man from earlier returns and Nino invites them all to the casino bar. Tim stands behind the counter and prepares drinks. They chat, with the man standing silently next to Nino, slightly behind him. He occasionally checks his phone and doesn’t seem too social. Nino senses a suspicious vibe, and, upon hearing Tim say a specific sentence in an odd manner twice (“I can’t wait for the slot machines” [or something similar]), texts Dragon his location and Tim’s name as a potential suspect should Dragon not hear from Nino shortly. However, nothing happens and Nino leaves with ownership of half of the casino. [Tim decided to spare Nino and doesn’t give Jacob the signal to stab him.]

**Tim’s Test -**

Nino gives Tim an assignment: acquire a specific vehicle and deliver to a pre-determined location, some road. He inquires Tim how long he thinks he needs to do it; an hour. [Tim enlists Jacob’s help and the two try to lockpick a car – then involve themselves in a police chase. Tim takes the fall and Jacob continues forward with the mission, getting a car and going to the road.] Nino, meanwhile, goes to the police station and chats with some authorities, where he learns of Tim’s arrest. Tim is released and Nino picks him up. He drives to a secluded mountain road area. There, they converse. The car was delivered per Jacob, says Tim. Mission complete, he thinks. Nope. Nino had asked for Tim himself to deliver it, not Jacob. Jacob is told to dump the car in the ocean. Opportunity. Trust. Etc. Nino gives Tim a ride back into LS.

As Tim and Jacob are connected during this time period, Nino makes several attempts to communicate with Jacob, who acts odd and rarely speaks. From Nino’s perspective, he thinks Jacob wants to ERP with him.

**A Devious News Reporter -**

Walking between Pink Cage and Garage Q, Nino is approached by Ron Otterman, a news reporter. Some talk and Nino is invited to an apartment. Nino realizes Ron is trying to catch an act of solicitation on camera for a good story and contacts the police to inform them. The police force and Nino work together to get Ron red-handed. Nino continues to play along and enters the given apartment to find Ron dressed as a woman with a camera woman hidden around the corner in the bathroom. Shortly after Nino enters, officers follow and promptly arrest Ron.

**Executive Summary: Nino searches for a lawyer for his business ventures, reconnects with Coop, and makes some requests of Dragon.**

**Shaw and Law:**

TL;DR: Nino meets with lawyer Kevin Shaw - he needs legal representation around-the-clock for his business ventures and is curious if Shaw can fill the void.

*Click the "Expand" link on the right to read a detailed summary.*

Nino calls Kevin Shaw, a lawyer in Los Santos. They meet, and, after some talk about alcohol and strippers, Nino expresses his interest in a lawyer base he can depend on around-the-clock for his business ventures. The sound of a door is heard, and Nino immediately investigates. Jacob is seen briskly walking out of the office; Nino calls out hello. Kevin decides they need a change of location, and once at a new place, Nino casually drops talk of the sound a body falling makes. Shaw takes a phone call. Back to business, Shaw wants to know more details about Nino’s business. Nino refuses to give concrete details, instead giving a simple mango story, which Shaw doesn’t understand. Shaw’s revolter is missing, and Nino suggests a race. Shaw is reluctant because of the cops, and the two initiate a roleplay scenario on how to get out of a ticket. Shaw’s attention is diverted when Nino asks if he wants to roll some dice, and the two now decide to head to the casino. Nino devolves that he owns half of the casino business. They roll dice for 10k > tie > double or nothing > Shaw wins > double or nothing > Nino wins. Nino talks about his trading business and the reason why he needs good lawyers. Next, he talks about life and career paths. Shaw remarks about Nino’s tangents and wants to know more about his business ventures in order to calculate his possible risk. Shaw is not willing to work with Murphy Braun, another lawyer in the city. Nino offers the promise of money if Shaw accepts. Nino gathers more information of the cops and the city.

Nino makes his way to the hospital and talks with Dr. King and Amara, an EMT. After learning Amara has been on a yacht, Nino directs his full attention to King. They discuss drinks and drugs.

Still on the task of finding and acquiring potential lawyers, Nino sends a call to Adrienne West, listed in the yellow pages as an available attorney. They plan to meet.

On the way to the clothing store, Nino is stopped by Sayeed Mitra and Eugene Zuckerberg. Nino just earlier sped by them on the road. Eugene gleefully lists all the world wars he fought and Sayeed mentions he his the CEO of Facebook, which prompts Nino to ask for his number. Nino has website interest. Eugene swiftly adds his number into the mix.

In an effort to meet more people in the city, Nino checks out Tequi-la-la, which is currently hosting a concert. Nino leaves in about 2 minutes but then goes back after his car radio malfunctions.

**Reconnect with Coop:**

TL;DR: Nino hangs out with Coop; it's been a while since they've seen each other and they catch up. Will Coop be Nino's main lawyer? Coop provides Nino with some information and introduces him to several people in the city.

Nino looks around the courthouse for Coop Holiday. Upon exciting, he notices Coop across the street. They reconnect, and Coop informs Nino his is now a judge. They discuss lawyers in the city. Nino receives a text message from Dragon, saying “they will pay you”. Nino inquiries about Coop’s lawyering opportunity. Out of the blue, Coop lets Nino know he has thoughts about joining the police force. This causes Nino to drop his cigarette and speed off in his Pfister. He spins back around to Coop yelling his name, and Coop says he doesn’t know what he wants to do next in life. Nino retorts that he has big plans which will result in lots of women and Coop replies that he is in – he just needs some time. Coop speaks about a few people in the city and Nino gives some information surrounding his business dealings (nothing illegal and absolutely no specifics).

Ellie Dono is called to pick Nino and Coop up in a taxi. An interesting taxi ride takes place, as there seems to be a problem with either the taxi car, the driver, or both. Also, Ellie’s wearing a helmet…

Nino and Coop arrive at the courthouse. On the steps stand Negan and Chief Judge LaBarre, as pointed out by Coop. Once inside, Coop introduces Nino to LaBarre. After some back and forth, and an idea to fix a problem of LaBarre’s, Nino receives his weapons license.

Nino and Coop take a ride in Coop’s blue Lamborghini. They drive to meet Negan at Fastlane Imports. Short talk about Nino’s business introduction and the city’s debt. Nino wants to know why Negan refuses to party. While changing locations, Nino meets James Carter. Nino and Coop check out the cars in the lot at Fastlane while Negan services the lambo, and are later joined by Carter. John(?) Archer, a cop, pulls through briefly, asking if a motorcycle had recently passed through. Nino inquires to Negan the turnaround and repossession of his cars.

Nino and Coop go clothing shopping. Nino attempts to call Dragon via payphone, but there is no response. Back at the car, Nino discovers Coop dressed in the same clothes Nino currently is wearing, sunglasses and all. They drive to Pillbox and Nino meets Doctor Choi. Coop warns Nino Choi is dating LaBarre; Nino disregards, seeing this situation instead as leverage. So, Coop wingmans.

After the hospital visit, Coop supplies Nino with more information about the city and some of its occupants. Dragon calls and checks in, Nino reminds him to use payphone, which is anonymous. Nino and Coop change their clothes again, this time into formal outfits. They change cars too, now Coop’s G Wagon.

While waiting for Coop to return, Nino listens to the conversation on the court steps. Someone, a woman named Gladys, seems to be running for major. A trial is currently taking place; Nino heads in to see what’s going on. Buddha and Eugene seem to be involved. Some minutes pass and Nino realizes this is the perfect time to meet Dragon.

Nino arrives at the wood factory and meets with Dragon. Nino asks him about the Lost MC, Dragon states that life is not for him right now. Nino has a shipment – 3 specific cars need to be delivered to Plaice Place. Nino wants a time estimate of when this will get done. Nino reminds this conversation didn’t happen. Dragon inquiries about the hit Nino had placed earlier on Tim Lee; Nino calls it off. [What led to these events transpired off-stream and partly involved the casino bet.] Nino learns of a man with the name Sun Moon, and what Dragon tells Nino of him Nino’s interest picks up. Nino wants an “accidental” meet with this man.

Back at the courthouse, Nino listens to Gladys’ speech for major.

Looking to pay off his vehicle, Nino sends out a tweet. Sun Moon replies and Nino meets him at PDM (Premium Deluxe Motorsport). They take separate cars to the bank, although Nino offers Moon to ride in the G Wagon, and Nino hands over the money for his car payment. Nino learns Moon is affiliated with multiple businesses in Los Santos. Nino is interested in the winery.

Dragon calls; he has the 3 vehicles ready. Nino says to take a photo of the shipment and email them to him for confirmation. On another thought, Nino decides he actually wants to see the shipment for himself and drives down. Arriving at Plaice Place, Dragon shows off the vehicles to Nino. A minute later and Nino is driving back into the city.

What is Nino's business in Los Santos? What is his endgame? We'll have to wait to find out.
