CRIMINAL TIES:

- "So, you down?!" said Manos.
- "Get your shit together, Charlie! You got no option!" he also added later on.

What an ordinary man from 'Santos and a natural born mobster from Verdant Bluffs have in common? Let me tell you.. loyalty. These two, born and raised in 'Santos.. they ran Fischetti's drug business. Day in, day out. Do not ask me how they got into it, they just did. Mobs have always existed, but this is different. It's more than just duty.. you know? Both Charles and Manos started up as some regular kids from the glorious streets of Los Santos. What happened?

Manos Corleone used to ran many illegal gambling operations. Charlie? No. He used to be his close friend, completely off the books. It turned out this way.. The feds were on Manos' ass, and due to several minor offenses, plus the evidence being a lot.. Manos served ten years in prison. Charlie had no option, he was called to keep the operations running. Manos' associates from this point on were in close contact with him. You know.. "Manos' homeboy". They knew he was a nobody. A thirty year old kid? Honestly? Next thing you know they form a group, more like a brotherhood in the streets of Financial, San Fierro. Thank God for 'Fierro.. Holy place. The first time away from 'Santos. Completely away from the Ballas-Groves gangwar, away from all the bullshit.

- "You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.. " said Officer Trusso.
- "Fuck the LAW!!" answered Doherty in frustration, in the cruiser.
- "I thought Law was your last name, Charlie." added the CRASH Rookie.
- "Fuck you, man." answered Doherty in frustration once more.


TWIST OF SCENERY:

Cutting the criminal ties is never easy. It takes years. Charlie wakes up, once again, at Bayside, three years later. Fucking Bayside. Completely broke. Talk about a fall from grace. He finds himself working at the local Pizza Stack. Quite a busy place for such a small town. Several SFPD patrols drop by for a quick meal daily.

- "The ordinary, Charlie! " shouted Sergeant Novak.
- "You got it, Jimmy!" replied Doherty.

The moment Jimmy's about to take a sit, a masked thug barges inside. And yes.. you know what that means. It's San Andreas.. of course you do. Even in Bayside, it doesn't matter. It's just how it is. But that's what keeps us going, ain't it? The unexpected. Being both on the edge or stepping your foot on people's back. It goes back and forth, fucking karma.

- "THE MONEY, FAGGOT,  HURRY! " shouted the thug upon entering.
- "Easy, I'm on it.." added Doherty in panic.

.. rings any bells? No? Let me help you.

- "ARE YOU DEAF OR SOME SHIT?" shouted the thug once more while aiming at Doherty.
- "Here.. here.. " replied Doherty in panic while emptying the cash register.

Novak at this point is unarmed and being aimed at by the thug. Who knew he had to carry the equipment inside? It's fucking Pizza stack. Sarge.. you should have known better..
Doherty has seen a lot at this point, he was not just "Manos' homeboy" anymore, he was more than that. He knew how it goes. He was not born into crime, but he adopted it. Some say it's better this way; being at both edges. Just a regular kid from 'Santos to illegal gambling operations and drug trafficking, then back to Pizza stack employee. It's San Andreas afterall.

The thug finally grabs the earnings as heads for the exit. Charlie eyes Novak as winks once and immediately pulls out the shotgun from beneath the counter. In the blink of eye, the thug falls down to his knees, holding his right leg just before exiting the Pizza Stack, shouting in pain like crazy.

- "Charlie, you crazy fuck!" said Novak as ran to the thug, cuffing him immediately.
- "Stick to your phone! Oh.. and pizza's on you, Charlie!" added Novak as kept dragging the injured thug to the cruiser.

** You're working for me now, meet me at Bayside canals. Bring the little shotgun of yours, too.   - Novak **

Yes.. it was never easy. Started here, born and raised, from the streets of the glorious Los Santos. The climb is long and hard, but the view from the top is worth it. Idlewood is blood land nowadays. Talking about Idlewood? Nigga you trippin? Ballas be crippin' all day, watch out. Five-Os all around the place, yet it's been going on for decades. Day in, day out. Make it through Ganton alive.. I dare you.  It's a cruel world we live in, but when it gets tough, only the tough ones make it through. Cleaning the streets.. like I got no option. Legends of the street.
