 Speaking of older brothers, “Bard the Bowman”, in fact is Roy’s real older brother, who was already in Los Santos. Bard actually saw Roy blow by in a car and follow up. Already and expert driver, Bard fast became the driver for the team.
+====Lisa ====
+You never quite know how a new job is going to pan out. It was reasonable then, that Lisa Fowler had some significant apprehension about this new job with Future Forward. Her soon to be boss had interviewed her first remotely, and then at a hotel near the airport in a rented conference room. He explained he did not have his office set up yet. That was an understatement. Future Forward was all virtual all the time. Mr. Flynn hired her and had //her// go get the space and have the office set up. That was six weeks ago. Her communications had all been through her work cell, which arrived at her apartment through a private courier.
+Still, the pay was good, over $180k, with the future possibility of stock options. Today, Mr. Flynn was coming to his office in person. He had already had clothes delivered for the private suite, and firearms and ammo for the hidden gun safe. Lisa knew that this was not going to be an ordinary job. That was fine with her.
+Lisa was 26 and frustrated with her career. Two degrees, both in finance, one an MBA, had not yet led to the sort of job she was seeking. The startup she joined folded 6 months ago, taking her long-range plans with it. That included her then fiancée who decided marriage could no longer be in the cards with neither of them working. So much for thick and thin. Being part of the disaster that was her last company did not help her find a job in Los Santos. She was looking to leave the city altogether when this offer showed up in her email. Lisa almost did not respond, but she filled out the questionnaire leading to her first and second interviews. Based on Mr. Flynn’s response, she was just the sort he was looking for. She had an offer the day after her second interview, in the form of said courier and phone. Lisa was honest enough with herself to admit she found the secrecy and security exciting. This was going to be interesting. She had already follow up on a link to Securo-Serv to source cars for sell, and warehouses to source special goods that she felt sure Mr. Flynn would be interested in. He seemed that sort of man.
+It was clear it was going to be a ride.

 Now, Roy asked his crew to help him close in. Roy washed his hair and announced his return. Alvin Lloyd was looking to flee Los Santos, now it was clear that “Seenar” had returned. Lloyd first hid at the Merryweather facility at the docs. Fleeing the EliteOptions attack there, the team chased him to LSIA, and stopped his flight out, rather forcefully.

+====Vincent====

+Vincent exited the elevators the top of Maze Bank. He walked into FutureForward offices spoke to the sexy young woman behind the desk.
+“I have an appointment at 9 to see Mr. Flynn.”
+“Yes, Sir”, I have you on the schedule. Mr. Flynn and Mr. Flynn will be with you shortly. Please have a seat.”
+Vincent waited in the small lobby. The young woman took a call. Vincent was not trying to listen in, but it grew heated, and the last thing he heard was the woman saying
+“Yeah yeah, that sounds great. I'll believe it when I see it. Call me when you've got results!” Vincent thought she sounded much like Ms. Baker when frustrated.
+After a couple of minutes Roy walked out to meet him. “Vincent, I'm so glad you agreed to hear us out.”
+Vincent back to the conference room was already waiting. Vincent already had worked with both men in defending the casino. Charles stood taller than Roy, with lighter colored hair and more transparent eyes. Roy has a classic red hair, cut in the same style. It was obvious the two were related, but it was easier to see with them in sports coats and slacks, as opposed to heavy leather jackets and body armor.
+“Good to see you again,” said Charles, rising and shaking Vincent's hand. “Please have a seat.”
+The three men set down and Roy laid out his plan.
+“Vincent, I suppose it's obvious got a lot more is going on than just the operations of future forward. My brother and I don't agree with the way you were treated. We think a man of your talents would fit in well with Elite Options. Elite Options is an organization that specializes in extralegal problem solving. It was Elite Options that was able to save the casino and, in fact, we've already done some additional work for Ms. Baker.”
+“I am not looking to become entangled and more situations involving gunplay,” Vincent said with a small frown.
+Nodding Charles moved to put Vincent at ease, “We understand. What we need is your expertise in organizing security for various locations. We don't need someone else to shoot. We have enough people for that.”
+Roy grinned, “Let me explain the details. FutureForward is an IT security consulting firm. We have clients all over the world. This include some clients it is very difficult for the IRS to prove don't exist. It is one of several legitimate companies owned by the core members of Elite Options. It, and other companies and clubs, such as Road Dogs and Iron Angles, have facilities which need protecting. They have all have various issues with raids by other organizations. We need a man well versed in physical security to compliment the IT side. My brother and I think that man is you.”
+“You want me to administrate your security for your various operations for this Elite Options?”
+“Yes, though officially, you will be working for FutureForward as a physical security expert. You will have a nice normal W2 job, with a steady salary, and of course, bonus pay for services rendered to specific clients. Especially those overseas ones. They are needy, if you know what I mean.” Roy Grinned
+"Elite Options itself can pay you directly, in cryptocurrency. We will help you set that up. If you would like to review the terms, this is a simple contract for the job with FutureForward. I can guarantee that you actual annual salary will be three times that, but obviously, that is not the sort of thing one puts into writing.”
+Charles slid a folder to Vincent. “We will provide you with a car for work. Los Santos can be dangerous to drive in. This one will be reinforced and much safer, not to mention more fun to drive. You can pick one of the models listed.”
+“To avoid any unnecessary prevarication, a compensation package this delicious is usually delivered with a Faustian bargain. Is that where the ‘extralegal’, items come in?” Vincent asked.
+Roy and Charles glanced at each other. Roy leaned forward
+“Vincent, I did not start out to be a criminal. The system screwed me because I was inconvenient. This is not the life I expected, but I am making of it what I can. I have been able to hurt the people who screwed me over while building a life of luxury. That is what I am offering you, a chance to move to a new level. Yes, it will involve protecting things operating outside of the law. You have already crossed that line. We won’t ask you to assassinate or assault anyone. You just have to help us protect our assets and the assets of others. ”
+“And what if I reject this unexpected opportunity? Are you not concerned I will abscond with this information and take it to the authorities?”
+Roy made a weak smile and chuckled, “No, because we have already shed sweat and blood together on the battlefield. You are not that sort of man. We would not have had you here otherwise. I can also say that after our first incident, I hacked the security at the Diamond, and I have recordings of all of Elite Options', and your, actions there secured. The new security staff has not even figured out they don’t have it anymore. That information is one of my //many// security back-ups Elite Options has for various people. But, I don’t need it with you.”
+“If you don’t take the job, that is fine. You can walk away and get a job parking cars. If you do take it, Lisa, who you met up front, will process your paperwork. FutureForward controls this whole floor, and you will have an office in the office suite down the hall. Of course, I will provide you with encrypted work USB Drives, and a secure phone. The IT side of things is my specialty.”
+“This is most generous offer. I would like to contemplate it and return my answer to you,” Vincent said closing the folder.
+“Take a couple of days. Call the office and let us know,” Roy said standing, which trigged the others to stand. Everyone shook hands, and Charles said, “I’ll walk you out.”
+As they walked to the elevator, Charles said, “Let me add one more think. I was already in Los Santos when Roy came here. Had he not made the choice to start over here, I would not have linked back up with my brother. Things happen for a reason, Vincent.”
+Two days later, Vincent drove out of Maze Bank in his new Albany Cavalcade.
