A family at heart

by Babycord


Just business

The Griffins.

A highly organized gang that deals in almost everything under the sun.

Drugs, weapons, prostitution, you name it they did it.

However, their biggest trade is weapons dealing. With help from outside sources, they managed to grab top military grad firearms and the like. From this alone along with other deeds they managed to set a heavy anchor in this city. Unfortunately, this also means that they have a lot of enemies. People who see what they are doing either wants a bigger slice than what's allowed or want to take it all for their benefit.

Either way Gabby can't allow that to happen.

Not when the people around her sacrificed so much to get where they are now.

Even if she never liked most of them.

A business opportunity?

Gabby watched as the orange woman known as Aj blinked before looking around the warehouse they managed to secure. It was large and was fit to do most of its operations without the fear of being discovered by law enforcement. At least the ones who took their job to heart.

A bunch of fools who will waste their time fighting a war they can never win.

Then again it's not like the cycle has even a possibility to be stopped or controlled. Sure you can send your very best on the streets but the scum of this city will always find a way. When there is an opportunity how can you blame a person for taking advantage of it? Especially when money can be made just from the act alone.

Gabby smiles, nodding.

"Yes, we are both groups who try to protect our own and make money in the process. Why not use those similarities to better the both of us?"

Aj raised a brow,

"and what is in it for my family?"

"A large income that's possibly worth a lot more than what you are getting now."

Rainbow snorted crossing her arms.

"Like you would know."

Gabby has an overall good idea but now wasn't the time to voice it. Not when she was gonna double anyhow. Sometimes It's best to leave things unsaid than risk forming a problem.

"why us?"

The white one who Gabby remembers her name to be Rarity asked. She had a look of suspicion in her eyes. A distrust that was more than understandable considering what has happened between their two groups already. Gabby knows that the risk of betrayal in the future is there. Especially when greed comes into play. However, she also believed that if they play their cards right the potential for a business relationship that ends with them all content is there. However, despite this, there is another reason for her decision, and that is the suspicion of a rat within her people. She doesn't who, but she knows that it might be someone she is considered close with. With that thought it's comforting to work with people outside of her gang whom she might be able to trust with more important dealing in the future. Leaving Gabby enough time to discover and deal with the rat herself.

If not then she might have to do things that'll make others question her authority.

That would be bad for business.

Especially considering her son and the possible dangers if Gabby gets it wrong.

That wasn't worth the risk.

"Hey! Don't touch that!

Looking over Gabby sees Fluttershy checking out one of the weapons they hsd in stock. Her eyes scanned the gun with a look of glee in her eyes that just felt eerie.

At least to Gabby.

The memory of what happened a week before played in her mind causing her to grip her fist. Not used to feeling this type of emotion. Not even when her aunt would punish her for a job done wrong.

The others though looked like they couldn't care less.

Even after she started pointing the barrel at everyone in the room.

Including her family.

Gabby gestured for her people to just leave the psycho alone. As much as seeing her with a gun by the looks on AJ's face it wasn't something she needed to be worried about.

"because just like us you need money."

Aj hummed. Thinking about the offer as the other two kept their eyes on Gabby

"All I require is for you to sell here and there and you'll most definitely have enough profit that you can split among yourselves three times over."

That perked their interest.

Gabby can see it in their eyes even if they try to hide it.

Aj chuckled.

"That sounds good sure, but I gotta run it by the rest before I make a decision."

Gabby nods it makes sense. A possible partnership can always go downhill if nearly everyone involved isn't fully on board. Fortunately for them, gabby is a patient woman. She'll give them time to make their decision she can only hope that it will be the right one.

If not?

Well, she had a feeling that it won't happen.

The future is bright,

And Gabby isn't afraid to grasp it.
