Benji’s Great Mood
Benji wakes up in a great mood and keeps it despite hearing bad news from Reggie, (Besties holding them up on a money run). After catching up with Kit, Jayden, and Reggie, Benji makes a few calls and sees his missing sister Emmy is around. Benji talks to Marlo about his floppy disc crew and how Marlo left because of Reggie missing out on being an underboss. After some Benji and Reggie banter where Reggie makes a joke about his anatomy; Benji calls Gabby and tasks her with watching Reggie and making sure he is A-Sexual. Tony also becomes a focus of Benji’s attention today as he finds out Tony was hitting on Emmy, (Tony tries to tell Benji it was because Winter pressured him to).

Brekkers Payment
Benji talks to Brekkers and lets Brekkers know just how much his and Mickey’s job for Hades put them in the hole. Per Benji, Hades lost 3 million dollars including their AKs. Brekkers offers to work off the debt but realizes he is only good at talking and doesn’t have a skill set that Benji could use in gang life. Brekkers gives Benji a Glock as a gift. Benji is underwhelmed as per Benji; a Glockatron is the lowest caliber of weapon Hades has in their armory. Benji shoots Brekkers in each hand thinking he can’t feel pain because he is a cyborg and then Benji threatens Brekker's life by telling him that Mickey and Brekkers either recoup what Hades lost or offer them a job where they can get the 3 million back. Brekkers assures Benji there will be opportunities in the future.

Benji still feeling the sting of losing their prized class 2s and losing so much money calls Brekker’s ex-wife Lane; (Brekkers still loves her and does not like Benji flirting with her or the playful suggestion of Benji and Lane being together). Benji and Lane hatch up a plan to make Brekkers jealous and upset. Benji gives Lane carte blanche to come up with a story on how Benji and Lane slept together (they never slept together as Benji fell asleep during the only opportunity they had). Benji also warns his Celebestie Gabby of the plan, so she doesn’t misunderstand and try to kill Lane. Lane sends a copy of her text to Brekkers to Benji. In the text, Lane tells Brekkers that Benji, Gabby, and herself had a threesome, and it involved a new position because of Benji’s large endowment. Brekkers initially faints from reading the text and Benji tries to tell him that they didn’t think he was coming back, (they thought Brekkers was dead) so it wouldn’t matter, nor hurt his feelings. Brekkers turns from shock to anger at Benji while Benji continues to stir the pot. Brekkers uses the shotgun that Reggie gave him earlier to hunt down Benji. After much back and forth the chase leads to Chumash. Benji and Reggie eventually disable Brekkers car and then ocean dumps it to prevent him from chasing them further. Later on in the day Brekkers answers Benji’s call and speaks to him regarding the capabilities of Nesseko Labs. Brekkers and Benji plan to meet with Mickey when he is back in town to discuss things further.

Hades 1 Clowns 0
Needing food, Benji heads to the food court where he finds people in Snr Buns. Curious Benji enters and cuts the line where he meets an angry CJ who gives Benji a piece of her mind. Upset that no food stall is open, and people must work at SNR Buns and get food at their establishment. Benji also runs into Bubbles at Snr Buns finding out he is North Cypress now and explains to everyone in the establishment how Bubbles earned his name, (he was the soap holder at the prison). After the perceived slight from the Snr Buns worker, Benji threatens the worker only to back down when the worker pulls a weapon. Having no weapon himself, Benji leaves Snr Buns and runs into a new clown who seems a bit off. Benji offers the clown $1,000 initially to kill the Snr Buns worker but has to quadruple the amount when the worker offers to up the cost to kill Benji instead. The clown eventually stabs the worker. Hades shows up at the food court with more clowns following behind not long after. A melee fight ensues with Hades winning. Benji takes Twinkle’s stop sign as a boon for winning.

People From the Past

• Rico Maybe?
  Having Brekkers revived from the dead makes Benji think about Rico more today and ponder the possibilities. Planning to set up a meeting with Mickey and Brekkers to discuss if Nesseko labs could help Benji also takes TicTac and his brother Mentos to the lighthouse to see if Norman is awake. Mentos makes a blood drawing to lure Norman out to no avail and decides their only real shot at getting Ricco back is to make him a cyborg if he has enough brain activity left.

• Alabaster Slim and the South Side
  Benji sees a name from the past and calls up Alabaster Slim to see how he is doing. Catching up later in the day, Alabaster and Benji talk about the past and how the South Side isn’t like it used to be. Slim confirms he no longer is a pimp as times have changed but wants to get into the business of flipping items and selling to those people who don’t have a connection; such as guns. Benji sells a shotgun and sliders to Slim as a discounted price to get him started and talk about potentially meeting up in the future when Slim is more settled.

-** Emmy**
Benji’s favorite sister is back. Benji gives Emmy a hard time about not seeing him in Manila and finds out that Tony, the Hades member and lawyer, has been hitting on her. Benji tells Emmy that she needs to get money out of Tony in the sum of $100,000 but decides not to force Emmy after her apprehension. Emmy’s ex Drake Morgan “OP” is also around and Benji fearing that Emmy will go back to him confirms that she is no longer with him or trying to get back together with him. In a later text from Winter; Winter notifies Benji that OP is following Emmy around to pursue her. Benji texts back that Emmy will date Tony.

**Hades Jobs **
Benji sets out to do a two-man cash exchange with Reggie with Preacher and Kit on the outside as backup as needed. Unfortunately, all of the cash exchanges are either on cooldown or in the process of being hit. Making a “mistake”, Benji buys an ammunition contract even though the extra Deagles are not needed at the time. Realizing Benji doesn’t have a crew needed to complete the job, he calls out to everyone on the radio to anyone on the Zaza app to join the contract. Eventually, Benji has enough people on the contract that the contract can proceed. The crew finds their crate at the docks and succeeds in obtaining their 10 Deagles with extra mags and bullets without any response from the police.
