Episode IV : Scarlett Rose

   After an uneasy process Lawrence finally convinced Sebastian to come work for him as security at his law firm. Sebastian accepts Lawrence's offer in order to duck heat from a black street gang called the Grove City Mafia, a gang based in South Pleasant Grove, Texas in which Sebastian has robbed multiple trap houses from. The founders of GCM and cousins Marcus Briggs aka "Kilo" & Curtis Briggs aka "Hollow" sent numerous street soldiers to end Sebastian's life on 4 different occasions, and on one occasion Sebastian was attending a local outdoor basketball game in his hood of East Pleasant Grove, packed with innocent bystanders when Grove City hitters creeped by in a black Honda, and an armed hitter rolled down the passenger side window and opened fire, spraying a full auto glock 18 into a crowd of attendees hoping to hit everybody including Sebastian.

Sebastian barely escapes with his life and 5 people are injured which forces the DPD to look into the shootings and why they are occurring, which in turn forces Sebastian to leave his own hood to avoid being killed and to avoid more collateral damage. Allegedly the GCM has ceased fire against Sebastian...for now.

"Yo Law this suit is hot as a muthafucka man, I don't know how you wear these bitches all the time." Said Sebastian as he guards the front door of Lawrence's firm fanning himself. "You'll get used to it, leaving the hood behind and going legit ain't an easy shift little brother." Says Lawrence sitting at his desk as he jots down case notes. "I never said I was leaving it behind for good." Said Sebastian scanning the streets through the clear double doors. Lawrence stops writing and looks up at Sebastian. "Do you honestly believe that the GCM are gonna give up chasing you just because you ducked out? They won't man...they won't stop until you gone for good, you being here is the best thing for everyone." Said Lawrence as he stands and approaches Sebastian. Sebastian turns his attention to Lawrence with a smug smile. "I'm not afraid of them niggas Law, I spent months dodging they bullets and robbing they asses blind, they can't touch me." Sebastian smugly says to Lawrence. "So you're Mr. Untouchable now huh?" Says Lawrence admiring his bravery. "Nah man, I just love the game. But I guess for now this is my only hustle, so you don't gotta worry about me." Said Sebastian. "My nigga, that's what I like to hear." Says Lawrence as he shakes Sebastian's hand smiling. Lawrence returns to his desk and sits down to continue working. "Ay L, I be back ina minute man ima drive up the street to Glorias, I'm hungry as fuck." Said Sebastian holding his stomach. "Glorias like a few blocks away, the fuck you driving for?" Said Lawrence. "The fuck I look like walkin in this fuckin heat wearin this hot ass suit? Besides man I just cashed out on a $30,000 Bmw, and it's a pussy magnet so yeah I'm bouta drive, you should take that new AMG for a spin, you in desperate need of some pussy and that Mercedes will have them bitches all over you." Says Sebastian pulling his car keys from his suit jacket pocket. Lawrence chuckles. "Just go get the food lady killa, and get me that fish combo I like." Said Lawrence focusing on his work. "Bet, I gotchu." Sebastian says leaving the office. A few minutes later a girl walks into the office. She quickly catches Lawrence's eye and he's amazed at how beautiful she is, long, wavy, beautiful, brown hair, dark brown eyes, and a perfect shape. "Hi, my name is Scarlett Rose Villanueva I was wondering if you could take my fathers case." Scarlett says to Lawrence. Scarletts unbelievable beauty puts him in a trance. " Um sir, Are you ok?" Lawrence snaps himself out of it. "Oh shit...I'm sorry I'm Lawrence Monroe welcome to Monroe incorporated take a seat sweetheart, excuse my French." Scarlett smiles softly and sits in a chair on the opposite side of Lawrence's desk. "So, what's the charges against your Dad?" Says Lawrence. "Home invasion and Attempted murder, I think he was set up by a dirty cop." Said Scarlett "Wow, so what's the evidence the feds have on him." Said Lawrence jotting down everything she shares with him. Scarlett sighs. "Well...they found a gun at the scene...my dads gun." Said Scarlett hesitantly. Lawrence drops his pen and gives Scarlett his full attention. "I won't lie to you Ms. Villanueva, it's not gonna be an easy win with your dads gun being at the scene, but if you hire me I'll use every effort within me to help your pops beat this case, What's your dads name?"'Lawrence asks. "His name is Lorenzo." Scarlett replies. Lawrence's eyes get big recognizing the name. "Lorenzo Villanueva? Cartel Lorenzo Villanueva?" Lawrence asks. "Is that gonna be a problem?" Scarlett asks Lawrence reaching into her Coach bag and dropping 3 stacks of cash on his desk with white bands and gold letters wrapped around each stack that reads: $10,000. Lawrence stares at the 3 stacks of cash on his desk with a slight smirk. "Not at all...I'll get right on it." Says Lawrence grabbing the money. Scarlett grabs one of Lawrence's buisness cards, writes something down on it and hands it to Lawrence. "We should go have a cup of coffee tomorrow and discuss the case, call me." Lawrence accepts the card with Scarletts number written on it and the initials S.R. Lawrence and Scarletts eyes meet and they both smile at each flirtatiously as Scarlett walks towards the front door, Lawrence stares at her ass as she walks away Scarlett smiles and winks at Lawrence before leaving and Lawrence winks back smiling also.

Later that day, Hollow & Kilo sent their best soldiers out to the streets of East Pleasant Grove to find anyone associated with the Monroe family. The GCM soldiers snatch up black security guard Doug Sanders, Layla's godson, and brought him to a private jet hangar. Kilo ties Dougs hands with a zip tie and forces him to sit in a chair in front of Hollow & Kilo, with a terrified look on his face. "I think this nigga just shit hisself bruh." Says Kilo chuckling with a black glock 21 tucked on his waist. "Already? Damn, the party haven't even started yet." Says Hollow to Kilo as Hollow pulls a chrome plated desert eagle from his behind his back, rubbing the barrel up and down the side of Dougs face. "I c-can't tell you where Sebastian is because I don't know...I haven't spoken to any of them in over 15 years." Explains Doug as he tries to wiggle himself free. Hollow recklessly smacks Doug in the mouth with the barrel of his desert eagle with his finger on the trigger as Kilo watches with his arms crossed, blood flys out of Dougs mouth and his body jerks back from the force knocking him out. "Go get it." Hollow tells Kilo as Kilo walks inside a jet and returns with a gas can. Kilo showers Doug with gasoline pouring it on his head covering his entire security uniform waking Doug back up. Hollow holsters his desert eagle, and pulls out a zippo lighter flicking it open waving the flame inches from Dougs face and laughing. "Please! No! Please don't burn me! I'll tell you! I'll tell you!" Doug says sobbing uncontrollably. Hollow closes his lighter pocketing it. "I don't know where Sebastian is but his brother just opened his own law firm downtown...if anyone knows where Sebastian is...it's him." Hollow and Kilo lock eyes knowing exactly what they have to do. "I told you what you wanna know can you let me go now? Please guys I got a little girl at home." Kilo and Hollow both pull out their guns aiming them at Doug. "You a loose end homie." Says Kilo as they both prepare to kill Doug, "Please! N-" A bullet to the head followed by several more shots to his body cuts Dougs sentence and life short. Doug sits lifeless in the chair, his shirt starts to catch fire from the gasoline and gunfire mixed together. Kilo and Hollow watch Doug burn. "Get the crew together...we move on Sebastian and his brother in 24 hours...Sebastian thinks the beef is squashed, so he won't even see it coming." Says Hollow to Kilo, Kilo looks at Hollow with a sinister smile as they both continue to watch Dougs smoldering corpse.
