Dysphoria /1/

Chapter 1

"Richard?"

The young woman was cut off by the older man beside her.

"I told you its okay to call me dad here, Alice. We're a family. This gang is a family."

If only she had known that her family would be ripped away from her in only a short couple of months.

Alice Hunters grew up in the streets of Los Santos and knew more about the city than the people who had actually built it. In her endless mind, she held information unknown to most government officials about Los Santos. Alice knew the exact crime rate, the amount of traffic at any point of the day, the gangs. Los Santos was her only home, which was the reason she decided to stay after her father's death.

Her father's gang only consisted of twenty or so members. It was an easily surpassible amount compared to the the gangs of Los Santos, but those other gangs lacked a certain trait. Chroma, her gang, was held together like a family. Most gangs crumbled because of disloyalty, but there was no chance of that.

Though that was until her father's passing.

One by one, her family had left until she was all alone. Being the second in command in the wealthiest gang of Los Santos and plummeting down to a passing face in the herds of people walking down the street.

Unlike other civilians though, she had close to a million dollars locked up in a secluded safe. With the right amount of money, Alice had bought a gigantic house in Vinewood along with two vehicles.

As weeks passed with nothing to entertain Alice with, her father's famous words rang throughout her head.

"Gangs are family."

In most cases, that was a false statement. In her case, it was the most important quote she's ever heard.

After doing absolutely nothing with her life in her last few weeks, she finally decided that this lifestyle wasn't hers.

Even though she hadn't been part of a gang, she still knew everything about the less fortunate parts of Los Santos, including the top gangs. Alice figured that by infiltrating the all time top gang and uncovering information, she would have enough power to gather her own gang and take her home back. It would also be an easy task to recruit members since she was well known.

Her identity wasn't a secret. She was the daughter of the wealthiest and most successful gang leader in Los Santos. But most people thought she was just a pawn, only important because she was blood related to someone powerful.

In contrast, she was the most diligent member of Chroma. Different from her gang family, Alice grew up in a gang and was trained at a young age. The twenty-one year old woman knew all about vehicles, robberies, hand to hand combat, armored weapons, hacking, and manipulation. She was a nuclear bomb hidden from the public eye.

As she planned out her silent attack, she also contacted an old friend of her father's. Greg Waters was a highly trusted man with weapons and other devices that could supply and support an entire army. He had refused all attempts at taking her money and had given her exactly what she needed without cost. Now packed in her trunk, she had two perfectly working AK-47s, a silenced sniper, a desert eagle handgun, and a dagger hidden in her sleeve.

If everything went according to plan, there would be no need for the weapons and hopefully nothing bad would happen.

With the information gathered, she realized that the unnamed top gang's base was in walking distance from her house, not that it mattered. She'd still have to drive her car since her backup plan included a getaway vehicle.
