Chapter 4: Mexican Civil Rights League

A month later, Leo was released from jail, but the thing that was all the news around the city was Poncho had set up a Mexican Civil Rights league after a book about El Chapo was announced to be getting a movie adaption by Paramount. He said that since the Italians, blacks, Asians all had leagues why not Mexicans. The league was created to protest stereotypes about Mexicans being criminals, which you know was ironic because Poncho was a boss in a crime family. He also was running a heroine racket from Vietnam. Then he had cocaine coming in from Cuba. Yeah I know I said the bosses didn’t do drug dealings but they had started recently. Still pretty much all the money earned from the league went back to the bosses. Now on March 4, 2004 Poncho was hosting a Mexican Civil Rights Meet at Internet Circle. Over half a million people showed up to support him and the league. He gets on stage and stands behind the podium and says “No more should my fellow Mexicans be oppressed and stereotyped. No more should Mexicans be second class to the other races. I am gonna make it my mission to ensure that The Legend of El Chapo never makes it to the theaters. Now he finishes that speech then he gets from behind the podium and he’s standing there with his arms out for the crowd to see and for the papers to get a picture then I walk away from him for a second to get a Soda and as I’m walking down the stairs I hear three gunshots it was Poncho he had been shot three times in the chest I immediately got my gun out and shot at the guy who shot Poncho I only shot him in the knee so he wouldn’t bleed out so the mob could ask him questions but the police dealt with him. A couple of hours go by and I’m having a soda with Keem and he says “I can’t believe that crazy bastard thought he could do that right there at Internet Circle in front of half a million people and get away with it I can’t believe it that is not right Rob that is not right that is a total piece of shit that’s a piece of shit” there’s only one guy who had the balls the nerve the audacity to hire someone to kill a made guy the same man whose live I saved Crazy Kenneth Garcia. Now even then the bosses didn’t really act on it which was weird. The reason Crazy Garcia killed Poncho was because he was still technically the leader of the Right Opinion family. The bosses made Keemstar’s right hand capo, Smaggle Daggle the new leader of that family. The bosses increased Garcia’s pay to 200 million dollars. Now three weeks later after Poncho was shot, it’s Kenneth’s birthday and I’m sitting in the comedy club with all the bosses. Jason isn’t there because he had to take care of some business down south but anyways we’re watching the comedian who’s a friend of mine his names Henry then and Garcia walks by and says “Hey Keem” then sees Keem is wearing a Mexican Civil Rights pin and Kenneth says “You really believe in that bullshit league?” so then Keem gets up and me being Keem’s friend I get up and Keem goes “it's not so much that its for Mexicans” and I chime in and pull Kenneth aside and I say “Listen Kenneth you can’t say stuff like that” I was very relaxed when I said it and so Kenneth asks “why not this is a comedy club Henry said we can make jokes” I respond with “Well Keems a boss” Garcia responds with “So what I’m a boss he’s a boss we’re all supposed to be brothers right” so I say still relaxed “I know but we don’t want no beef now okay” so he responds with “We’re brothers right?” I say “that’s right” and he asks the same question three times and I say finally change my response to “I’m not arguing with you your brothers your his brother I’m not what you guys are but your brothers okay” so then he says “We’re brothers” I say “yeah” he says “its my birthday” and I say “Happy Birthday Garcia” and he says “alright alright...get the fuck outta here” he puts his hand in front of my face then walks away so I go to sit back down with the bosses and Keem looks at me then he looks at the bosses then all of them all look back at me it was a single that Garcia finally had to go. Now for something like this, you’re gonna need two guns. The one you’re gonna use and a backup. You want something with more stopping power than a .22. You definitely don’t want a silencer. You want to make a lot of noise to make the witnesses run away so they ain’t gonna be looking at you. But not the noise a .45 makes’ cause that makes too much noise, and a patrol car can hear it a few blocks away at least. The cops call a .32 a women’s gun because it’s easier to handle and don’t do the damage a .38 does, but you know it does enough. I finally had my two guns. It would be late so the tourists from Cali wouldn’t be there. They’d be in bed. And him being down there at the Internet Cafe, maybe he’d be more comfortable more relaxed. It was his birthday so he’d be there with his wife and his kid which, in this case, that’s good because that’s the point. They should have to see what it’s like. He’d already been drinking, which would have slowed him down a lot. His bodyguard would be with him and Kenneth himself could be carrying, too, but then the piece would be in his wife’s purse probably. See you never got a lot of advance notice. All you knew was your part of it. My driver a close friend of mine named Ivan he knew only one thing, he was gonna drop me off, circle the block and pick me up. Garcia got there at around 12:05 AM I arrived at 5AM, See for a job like this you wanna take out the bodyguard first. Not kill him, don't kill him, just disable him. You got no argument with him, so not in the face or the chest. Sometimes, with something like this, you might want to go to the bathroom first. It gives you a chance to make sure nobody followed you in. It also gives you a chance to make sure nobody is in the bathroom you have to worry about. It also gives you a chance to go to the bathroom. You don’t want to be uncomfortable. But I went before, and in a place this small, this late, you might as well just get to work. So I walk in its about 5:03 AM in the morning and I see Garcia sitting in the back with his wife, two of his friends and his kid there all laughing and having a good time I walk towards the kitchen where Kenneth had his back turned to and I fire 3 shots in his upper back, so then Garcia gets up and hops towards the door, I get 4 shots in his back while he’s hopping then he falls through the glass window at the door and he’s flopping around like a fish out of water he’s yelling “Fuck shit fuck” while he’s flopping and I put two more bullets in his back ending his life there then Ivan pulls up with the car and I get in and he takes me to the pier to throw the guns in so that way there’s no record I ever even had a gun. That morning I went to the next Newgrounds Girls Soccer game. It was their last game of the season, a tournament game. They were playing on Twitter and they won 4 to 1. See we weren’t actual coaches but Me, Austin, Alex, Franklin, Steven, Santiago, a guy named Samuel and another Santiago and Alex were considered coaches since we always showed up to practice with them, did scrimmages with them and helped them prepare. So we always went to their games too. At the end of the game we poured water on their Coach, Coach Soto. Then we all got a team picture even us “Coaches' ' got in it. Then the whole team went to QD across the street to have lunch and play cards. Then Yeliana looks at the TV and says “Hey guys look Crazy Kenneth was killed last night” everyone in the restaurant was as happy as could be even the owner made drinks free for the day and at his funeral only 8 people showed up his wife, his kid, his bodyguard and the other five came to spit on his grave. But a week after his funeral I was arrested for the murder of Crazy Kenneth with his wife Ruby Garcia being the witness to state that I was the one who killed him I spent two days in prison before my trial and when the actual trial came Ruby and her daughter testified that I shot Kenneth in the back multiple times the judge asked me what I was doing that night March 25, 2004 at 5:03 AM in the morning and I said “I respectfully decline to answer because I honestly think my answer might tend to incriminate me” and that’s all I said the whole trial my DA was Keem’s close friend JiDion the judge took a recess and then the final verdict came in “Robert Young in the case of the murder of Kenneth Garcia Sanchez the jury finds you not guilty case dismissed” I couldn’t believe it I thought with all the evidence Ruby had against me I was gonna be out for the count but turns out Moses and Keem both paid off the judge and the jury so I wouldn’t get clipped but after that day in court Ruby hated me see me and Kenneth hated each other but Ruby always fucked with me up until I killed her husband of course but what she did I could never forget she had Jason Garcia put a kill order on me for the murder of her husband. I thought she was a real prick for that but I also got it I mean that was her husband but still Keem was the one who gave me the news and he said “Listen Robert Garcia put a kill order on you and it’s an open contract so anyone can hit you at any point so from now on until I can get this sorted out your gonna follow me everywhere and be next to me all the time no one will hit you if they see me” I had to spend the next month being by Keem’s side it wasn’t all bad I did get to stay in his mansion down in Buffalo New York one weekend but then came the meeting with all the bosses including Jason Garcias about this kill order. So I’m there and the Five Bosses are there and so is Moses and Ruby and I see Ruby and Jason staring me down the entire time and then the meeting began. The moderator was gonna be a capo in the Turkey Tom family, his name was AugieRFC. Now Keem told him that Garcia hired someone to kill a made guy in cold blood at a parade for Mexican Civil Rights so then Ruby argued that Garcia was in the right because Poncho had denied Kenneth a seat as a real made man like he promised so Garcia had to create his own crew I argued that Garcia went straight against the mob rules and killed a made man in cold blood without asking permission from the bosses like your supposed to the bosses agreed Jason Garcia had to drop the kill order on me this angered Garcia so much he said to the bosses “Fuck you your all pieces of shit and cocksuckers and if you think this Right Opinion, Garcia war is over no it’s just starting” he walked out with anger but Ruby didn’t and instead Ruby shot a .22 at me and it hit me in the forehead, the bosses immediately got up and shot at Ruby hitting her in shoulder but she got away Keem and the other bosses got to me and rushed me to the hospital I went into a coma and woke up to see more capos of Tom’s family looking over it was Augie and two other guys named Bowblax and Nick DeOrio. I asked how long I was out for and Bowblax said I had been out for 2 weeks Augie said a major gang war started between the now four families and Garcia. “Garcia put up a good fight until last weekend we were able to take most of his rackets but he retreated to his wife’s casino in Las Vegas” Augie said I then asked where Keem was and Nick said “He’s holding up in the Internet City Stock Exchange.” Then Bowblax tells me “Aye listen the bosses got a problem, one of there drug barrels from a warehouse were found with a DEA tracker on them. So Keem’s drug lady thinks she found another way to get the meth.” I asked Bowblax what way was that he said to me “You boost it from a train, listen we know it sounds crazy but your old friends Moses and Mariposa are planning it and there plan is full proof” Then Nick backs him up and says “You’ll be working with your friends Leo, Frankie and Santiago” I said to them “Alright for Keem anything he needs” So I head to meet with Moses and Mariposa and the rest of the crew about this job.

Chapter 5: Boosting Meth

Since Keem’s warehouse got tagged he needed more meth So he hired Moses and Mariposa for the new idea. “Once a week on a Wednesday a train travels loaded with Meth. The train travels East through Arizona stops at Texas to be broken down and rebuilt. You stop it and rob it here” Mariposa said. Leo said “Are you crazy robbing a train post 9/11 you know how many alarms that’ll set off at DC to the FRA and TSA” Moses then elaborated and said “Not if a train is stopped here in this area this is called the Dead Zone it’s 3 miles long and it’s an area where no train has any contact with the outside world, no WIFI, no communications with DC.” Frankie said “So we get there and rob the train, then dip, it’s not gonna be that simple we’ll have to kill the crew.” Mariposa said “If you guys get it done without raising any alarms and without killing the crew well pay you guys 100K each of you.” Moses then said “Well both be going there with you guys to make sure of that.” We all agreed 100K to steal some meth wasn’t bad so we all planned it that night. “What if we can rip off that train and no one ever knows it got robbed?” Santiago suggested. We agreed that was the best and safe stoption to keep the people from DC from poking around. We went to the train site and looked around the entire 3 miles. We ran into this part where the tracks were built on a bridge the perfect spot. Mariposa was the lookout she made sure to tell us when the train was in site. We had Frankie jack an, water truck and drive it down there that night. We dung holes and loaded the holes with a tank of water. Frankie asked why we needed the water. Santiago told him “It’s all about the weight, the tank gets weighed once in Long Beach and then its weighed again when it arrives in Texas. If the weights don’t match the train company will know it was robbed then the boys over in DC poke around. The whole point is no one can ever know about this but us.” I told him “Well be boosting the meth into the oil truck then replacing it with the water in the holes.” Then Frankie asked “Won’t they notice that they got robbed anyway after getting water down meth.” Then I said “Well out of 24,000 gallons it’ll only equal 4% of it but they will notice and that point they will blame China for giving us a terrible shipment of meth.” We got everything set up. To stop the train Leo had a garbage truck in the middle of the tracks and broke the engine down to beyond repair but also towards where the train guys wouldn’t notice themselves. Me, Frankie and Santiago. Were under the bridge waiting for the train to stop. We had to get the go ahead from Mariposa so that way the two people on the train wouldn’t notice us a couple of carts down. We went to work and we got stuff setup so that way all that Frankie had to do was hook the other end of the tube to the train and suck all the meth outta of it. In 2 minutes after we had everything setup Mariposa used the earpiece she gave us and said “Go Now” I told Frankie “You're on”. We began boosting the meth. The train guys tried pushing the truck off the tracks with no luck. Mariposa said “Give me a status.” I said “300 gallons and counting water is going in now.” Then 4 minutes later Leo tells us through our earpiece “Guys we got a problem, a truck guy showed up and offered to tow the truck” Mariposa said “Jesus, Robert you got to get your guys off the train now.” I told her “We’re not done yet.” Then half a minute later Mariposa tells me “The track is clear Robert get them out of there now” Another half a minute goes by Mariposa tells me “Robert they are back in the local motive get them out of there or you will get us all busted.” I still waited and you know what we did. We got 1,000 gallons of meth boosted and in the truck then I yelled at Santi to get off the first cart and for Frankie to get off the other cart. They were able to get off the train and we were laughing and cheering. So was Mariposa and Leo from the other end of the tracks. I mean we robbed a train of 1,000 gallons of meth without DC or anyone but us knowing. Of course it wasn’t that easy as we were driving the meth truck back and we were ambushed by some of Garcia’s guys. Me and Leo were on motorcycles which made it all the more dangerous. We ended up getting into a shootout with all of them. However Frankie got shot in the arm. He was screaming in pain “GET ME TO A HOSPITAL QUICK!!!” We couldn’t take him to a hospital without a bullet in his arm. So Moses and Mariposa drove the truck of meth to the boss's area but me, Santiago, Leo and Frankie took one of Garcia’s guys’ cars and drove to a mob doc. Of course though it never ended since the hit on my life was still active some more Garcia’s guys chased after us, I had to shoot at them as Leo drove. Finally we lost them and took Frankie to the mob doctor known as Jose Flako. We got Frankie patched up then we called Moses and he took us all to the Continental Club. It was a bar that all mob guys like us hung around. We talked with the other wise guys like David and the other Santiago. Then there was also Clayton and Joyce who were contractors. Then there was also Luis who was also a hitman. It was fun we all gambled and rolled dice, played cards and shit. Then Leo and I went to Sonya’s house and we all watched The Outsiders Movie from 1983. The reason for that was because we had watched it in Mr. Schmidt’s Story Writing Class. It was a book we had read all semester and he finally showed us the movie adaptation.

Chapter 6: The Underboss of the Garcia Crime Family

Keemstar had me go to meet him at his bar and arcade in downtown Internet City. As soon as I entered the room he said “Ah Robert good to see you up and well old friend. I’d like to thank you for taking care of that train problem we had. Now I called you here because I need you to take care of the underboss to the Garcia Crime Family. His name’s Pedro Garcia, brother to Jason and we’ve sent many guys to take care of him before but he’s a slippery one.” I said to Keem ``Okay boss, I’ll handle it” Leo came with me carrying a tommy gun and we drove to a warehouse at the docks in the South. It was a dock that had a bunch of oil barrels. Before we even got out of the car we were immediately met with hails of bullets from Garcia’s guys. We gunned them down one by one. Barried over 45 bodies that day. Then we finally saw Pedro Garcia himself. “You crazy bastards” he says “If you kill me it’ll be chaos, you’ll never reach Jason Garcia, he’ll go into hiding” Leo lit up a cigar and said “Good bye, bastard” then he threw the cigaret into the ground where one of the oil barrels had spilled. Then we ran outta there and reported back to Keem that he was taken care of. After we killed Pedro he wasn’t wrong it was chaos for weeks, our guys against theirs, and Jason gone into hiding, but a don can’t stay hidden forever, for a boss to be feared he had to be seen and he was hosting a charity gala in North Internet City which was where we were gonna get him. Keem calls me, Leo, Austin, and Franklin and has us meet him then says to us, “Garcia wants to thumb his nose at us, taking a show like theres not a war going on” then Frankie says to us “We do him like this in front of the big show” I said “The theaters gonna be packed good chance the mayor maybe even the chief will be there to” Keem began to yell at me “THAT'S THE GODDAMN POINT ROB, WE KILL GARCIA IN PUBLIC IN FRONT OF THE CITIES CREME DELA CREME THEN THEY’LL KNOW WHOSE IN CHARGE AND IT DOESN’T MATTER IF YOU GOT A GAVEL OR A BADGE OR A FAT WAD OF CASH IN YOUR POCKET IF YOU CROSS THE FAMILIES YOUR DEAD!” I just said to him “Okay boss relax well get it done” then Keem said to us “You light him up I want it to look like that white suit is covered in punch you got it” Leo just said “Sure thing boss” As we left and drove to the galla Austin said to us “Remember no mistakes this has gotta be a perfect hit” Then we entered the galla. It was setup in a fashion show building. Me and Leo set up on the balcony, Frankie and Austin took to the main floor. The show went through a couple of models then Internet news guys like Def Noodles and Jack Lucky from ESPORTS Talk. Then Garcia finally came out. And I mean he must of saw one of us because he came out and then said “Welcome everybody…” then stopped talking and ran back behind the curtains. We chased after him he got into a car in the back of the building and we chased after him but lost him. He went to his casino in Las Vegas. We chased him to the border of Internet City.

Chapter 7: The Casino Showdown

The next day Keem called everyone to the family's base. Today was special because today we’d be raiding Garcia’s casino. All four bosses were there. Keem even gave this whole speech about how we would remember this battle until the day that we died. I made Keem promise me that he wouldn’t kill Ruby. He asked me why I said “Because that I killed their kid’s father, and about to kill their grandpa too, she shouldn’t have to grow up without a mother too” He agreed with me. We set out to kill Garcia. We drove in a pack like a swat team. The drive was 4 hours and all of our cars pulled up in the parking lot of a place called Kino’s Casino. We took it over like a commando raid of course at the front door, and were immediately met with bullets. This meant we were gonna have to be fast before cops came Keem yelled at me “Robert get over here we gotta get to the main office” I ran with him and the other bosses we fought together united and finally we shot through four levels of soldiers and guards and we finally get to Garcia’s office where Garcia, his wife Anahi, Ruby and Ruby’s kid are Smaggle yells “its over Garcia surrender” Garcia said “So this is it I gave up everything for this life it was my mistake for trying to manage a family and this life” I yelled at him “Your wife and daughter in law don’t have to be hurt this is just between me and you” Garcia yells back “Bullshit you guys are gonna kill them the second you gun me down” Turkey Tom yells “We had to have your son killed he was a mad man” Garcia yells back “Ah fuck you and your families may you all rot in hell you cocksuckers” then I fired the shot one shot to Garcia’s head ending his life Tom pulls his gun up ready to fire at Anahi, Ruby and Ruby’s daughter I said “No no this is between us and Garcia they have nothing to do with it” Keem yells at me and says “If we don’t kill them who’s to say they won’t go to the FBI and rat about us” All I said was “if your gonna do it do it when I leave the room” the bosses shook there heads and I left the room and as I closed the door I heard two gunshots It hurt a little but at the end of the day it was business and that was just what our life was like it was kill or be killed. Afterwards another meeting happened we had the a government agency called the Broken Glass Republic, BGR for short, breathing down our necks because of the final battle at the Casino but the meeting was about changing some rules in the mob “From now on it does not matter your ethnicity if you have a made man vouch for you and make your bones you can get a seat at the table with us” Keem had changed mob history then the bosses nominated me to become a made man. Being a made guy means nobody can fuck with you or they’d be killed or worse. It didn’t mean being a boss and having a seat at the table but it was one step closer. The bosses all nominated me but in order to be made I had to make my bones which meant I had to kill someone and at first I thought there was gonna be no issue but the person I had to kill was Kenneth and Ruby’s daughter her name was Francis Sanchez Garcia she begged me not to kill her and started crying but I had to and so I took the shot I shot her straight in the head to make her death painless Then came the final stage of making my bones Keem had me put my hand over a bowl of water and cut my finger and then he took a picture of a saint, put it in my hands lit a flame, and he said “Tonight Robert Young, you are born again into a new life. Betray your brothers and you will die and burn in hell like the saint burning in your hands do you accept?” I said “Yes I do” from that day April 14, 2004 nobody could ever fuck with me again. Now to keep the families strong they still needed a new boss to run the media sectors of the internet so they made John Swan a capo in Keem’s family a boss. Everything changed after that, I lived a way better life. Only thing is we still had the BGR down everybody's spine. Other than that though me and all my buddies were up. Nobody could ever screw with us like the Garcia’s had ever again. When I was broke I went out and robbed some more. We ran everything. We did everything we paid off cops, lawyers, paid off judges. Everyone had there hands out and everything was for the taking. And this was only the beginning of my time with the Crime Families.

The End
