CYCLOPS

They were very other gangs nightmare. If you crossed the line you went down. Everyone tread softly around them. Their leader Dolapo a.k.a CALYPSO was a terror, feared by many loved by few, respected by all. I for one wanted to be like him. He had the whole area under his control. The power Calypso got for himself was too much for him to handle so he spread his territory amongst is close associates. Myself and my clique of friends, Ice (Pablo Arius), Christopher Emecheta(chrissy), Bond (Bode Adepoju), Lanre Akeju (Lance), Bayo Walter (Bayou), decided to join CYCLOPS. Our purpose was to climb up the ladder of authority not just be members for the name sake. Ice being the more rugged of the lot of us was more open to the procedures of the gang. Ice was also the oldest of us.

Within 2 months, we all had become soldiers thanks to Ice's mentoring and help. As soldiers we were required to do most of the dirty work of the gang. Like stickups, gang bangs, busting whosoever messed up and the like of it. Gradually we gained a reputation for our thoroughness and we instituted as a arm of the overall operation. As lords of our art we learnt one invaluable truth that as being true to me ever since: The heat is not worth it if you can't stop or cope with it.

We dodged bullets on a regular. We got jumped by other gangs occasionally and we always reacted as usual thoroughly. Our ruthlessness and precision in treating fuck ups was legendary throughout the city underworld. Then came yahoo-yahoo (Internet fraud).

At the time, the guys involved in the fraud bought stuff online with jacked credit cards and gave it to the gang to sell. Knowing the wide reach and market of the gang. Also the gang didn't only sell stolen stuff they sold drugs too.

Knowing how powerful we had become we decided to leave CYCLOPS before they found a way to get rid of us. After thinking of a way to make us still relevant in the game and close every avenue that CYCLOPS might use to crush us we then decided to be mercenaries. Since the did not have people who were as good as we were we also decided to make ourselves much more relevant by opening up our services to all, giving our services to the highest bidder. We did all from dogging, treating fuck ups to transporting and selling merchandise and the likes.

Then came the rise of the FOXES a group of renegades with one mission to crush us. This was to be the beginning of a war that saw one of us die and all of us cry.
