EASTSIDE $TAKKS

Skitt · August 22, 2024

Years passed, and the name "Stakks" became synonymous with power, fear, and respect on the streets of Los Santos. He had risen through the ranks of City Circle Piru, transforming from a young hustler into one of the gang's most influential figures. Stakks was no longer just a soldier in the game—he was a shot-caller, someone whose word carried weight. His reputation as a ruthless, no-nonsense hustler spread far beyond Elbert Street, reaching every corner of the city.

The Los Santos Police Department's Gang Unit knew him well. Stakks' face was plastered on their bulletin boards, his name frequently mentioned in meetings. He had become a high-value target, and the cops were constantly on his tail. But Stakks was smart, always staying one step ahead. He changed his routes regularly, never sticking to a routine, and only trusted a select few with his plans. Paranoia was his constant companion, but it was also what kept him alive.

Amidst the chaos of his life, Stakks found himself dealing with a new challenge—fatherhood. He had gotten a girl from the North Side, Selena, pregnant. Selena wasn't from his world. She was a sweet, hardworking girl who had somehow fallen for the rough edges and dangerous allure of Stakks. When she told him about the baby, it hit him harder than he expected. For a moment, he was reminded of his own childhood, the struggles his mother had faced raising him alone.

But the life he led was unforgiving. Rivals were always looking for a weakness to exploit, and the news of Selena's pregnancy leaked. It didn't take long for the Eastside Hustler Crips to get wind of it. They knew they couldn’t get to Stakks easily, but they could get to those he cared about.

One night, after a long day of running the streets, Stakks received a chilling call. The voice on the other end was someone he knew, a voice that used to be familiar and friendly. But tonight, it was cold and menacing.

"You better watch your girl, Stakks. We know where she stays. Play smart, or she and that kid won't see tomorrow."
