SEPTEMBER 21, 2025 RECAP PART I
Benji is picked up from the apartments by Reggie. In a hearse. Reggie takes Benji to the pier and tells him what happened the day before with Jon and Merc, and how the kittens rolled out. Then he tells him about Mentos and him having a chat after about Jon shooting Nomad in Vespucci, and how Mentos called his punishment bullshit.
Renji head back to Vespucci to go to Big White for the meeting. Benji says that they need to get a gun for him. He admitted that Tictac and Mentos are like NA Vagos and the rest of the gang is AU Vagos, and it was the NA Vagos that pushed him out. They eventually get to Big White where Jayden joins and Reggie starts the story of the day before again.
Meeting begins. Thank you to the wonderful @Eli ⚔ who's tl;dr I blatantly stole for meeting notes
Everyone got asked to air out their grievances and where they think they should improve. People spoke about the obvious like too many cooks in the kitchen, people not listening stuff like that. Cassie talked about not being petty when it comes to punishments.
Tictac said he had no issues. Benji called him out that it's crazy considering he told in front of everyone about Reggie instant lose thing.
Mentos got called out for his bs, and he said he needs help changing, people told him that they appreciate the way he is, they just need to stop him being petty and shit.
Benji and Reggie told everyone to say to them in circle or privately names they wanna blood out. No one came to them.
Mentos came over later and told them that Tictac told him he wants to blood people out, so either he's being good because he's scared of catching a bullet or he woke up on good side of the bed.
Royce said that it's stupid to have so many meetings where the same thing is being said again, and people need to start learning from their mistakes instead of repeating them.
Benji checks out the casino and wonders if he's being robbed since everything is gone. Chico wonders if they are getting scammed as well. Benji tries to call Lily, but doesn't get a response. He has a small meeting with Tony at the tents where they discuss the casino funds and how they want to move forward with events and using the bank account as the gang fund.
Has a meeting with his lawyer. He hears that police watched them for 15 minutes and took pictures the entire time. The police report includes an anon calm from someone claiming to be Perez saying they can go pick up bodies in five minutes. Lawyer says that because of how loud Habibi's were about being in a gang war against Benji. Benji says it was more like an unwilling execution that he was the victim of. Benji was just a poor guy who was being hunted.
The boys do a bank truck, and Benji spends some time on the computer. After Benji talks with the boys to see how they felt about all of it. He mentions that it's good that people aren't pointing fingers at each other. Benji suggests maybe voting to see who everyone thinks would be good to lead. The boys give suggestions on who they would be okay following. By the end of the meeting everyone awake is there. It's a productive talk with good constructive criticism until Tictac exactly what he was told not to and says no one listens to him so he'll follow anyone.
Benji runs away saying he's done and swims out to the ocean. Gabby calls him and asks him to take her with him. Benji says not to look for him, but she's looking. Emmy manages to swim out into the ocean and follow Benji so he can't get away. Benji was running away from the problem, but he knows what needs to be done. Benji is eventually picked up by Tony, Gabby, and Emmy. He spends time with them until tsunami.
