The president got crazier as the days got closer to John's court date. In Saint Lorena's, O'Brian sat on her office chair and rested her elbows on her desk. Her mind was full of psychological problems, and stress burned her neck. Besides, she was high on drugs and was full of headaches, so she wanted to remove her head and put on a new one. O'Brian did not know what to do with Dossroc no more. Global warming and diseases were taking over the nation as well.

Another crisis that made O'Brian faint was that the majority of her gangs were in flames that their thirty-two-million-dollar prize was locked in jail. Big egos and frustration entered her gangs' flesh and made them fight against the president. Instead of following her orders, all the gangs rebelled against O'Brian.

Out of anger, the president responded to her gangs' obnoxious behaviors by driving them out of business. She threatened to tax them overly high on their drugs and control all of their distribution. She also planned to legalize all drugs. The gangs were frightened when they heard about O'Brian's plan to legalize illegal drugs. So ... the gangs planned to put her away before she passed any laws. This threat scared the president because there was too much violence between her associates. She believed she would get replaced like President Chamberlain. Her anxiety increased, and there was warfare in her brain. She was terrified; for the first time, she feared God. Dossroc was out of control, and President O'Brian did not know how to handle all of the unfortunate events.

Out of ego, Marblelano got ready to make her own money in case illegal drugs got legalized. Many gas stations across Southern Catalinas ran out of gasoline because fuel got stolen through illegal taps performed by Marblelano and her team. O'Brian got inflamed that Marblelano was no longer under her authority and made her own money. President O'Brian sent Emily Yonker to take her down.

Emily went to ask around about what had happened. She got told that fuel thieves were running away with gallons of gasoline extracted from the only gas pipeline in Southern Catalinas. Emily went in a rush to visit a place rumored that Marblelano and her guys did illegal tapings of pipelines. When she arrived at the location, she waited in her car behind a building and looked at the land across from her through binoculars. There were oil and gas transmission pipelines under the land.

Later, she saw Marblelano and a group of men digging a hole to get access to the pipelines. In a second, Dreamgirl came to the scene and interrupted the process, "What are you doing in my territory?" she asked. Marblelano looked up to see who was talking, "This my money," Marblelano said. Dreamgirl got furious and kicked her in the stomach, "Leave boys! I got this!" Marblelano cried. Dreamgirl made Marblelano sleepy. She was falling down but kept getting up, "You not making me fall asleep!" she cried. Then, Marblelano fought Dreamgirl until she won. Marblelano looked at her dead body and felt somewhat sorrowful.

Marblelano got in her 1967 black convertible, put on her sunglasses, and turned on the radio. She listened to "Porque Te Vas" by Jeanette as she drove to Dreamwood while Emily followed behind, "If I can't get John for them million dollars, I got to get money another way," Marblelano said. When Marblelano arrived at Dreamwood, she met up with her team and sold some old fuel they obtained to the people. Emily Yonker saw everything and took pictures from far away. Yonker did not go up to arrest her because she was unarmed and had no backup. All she was able to do was gather information and observe.

When Marblelano arrived at her palace, she hid all the money in secret places. She hid the money inside the toilet sits, doors, and walls. She broke eggs and used the shell to put money and cocaine inside. She would put the eggshell back together with glue and painted it, so it looked like a normal egg, "Emily, you not slick ... I know you were following me," she whispered as she looked at her reflection through her silver watch and checked the time.
