GTA: San Andreas - The Introduction Background

In Los Santos, in the western state of San Andreas, two cops discuss what they are going to do about a new recruit soon to join them. The larger one named Tenpenny is more concerned about an existing officer who's threatening to squeal about their rather excessive ways of keeping the streets clean.

A similar conversation is happening in San Fierro. Mike Toreno is explaining his methods of getting a job done to someone over the phone. He says "History will understand" as his associate, T-Bone Mendez, beats the living crap out of some guy.

Back in Los Santos again and everyone's talking about the future. Three members of a purple clad gang named Ballas smoke some 'Hydro' and discuss the state of rival gang - The Grove Street Families. The Grove are falling apart and won't get involved in the drugs trade that's helping the Ballas take over the streets. They mention that they are "capping off one of their OG's", but don't see his involvement as a threat.

Two of Grove Street's Original Gangsters are thinking about their destiny. They see that drugs lead to money, influence and power and see no problem in going against their gang's ideals to make that their future. Sweet Johnson disagrees. He believes the gang should stand by their principles and things will just blow over. He's not so relaxed about his brother. Sweet hasn't forgiven CJ since he skipped town after their brother Brian died 5 years earlier.

Over on the east coast CJ is 'working'. He tries the doors to a few parked cars with no luck. Then a car pulls up in traffic next to him. He takes his chance, opens the door and drags the driver out. Within seconds he's heading off through the streets of Liberty in his newly 'jacked car and decides to call Joey to arrange to drop this vehicle at his garage. Joey Leone seems to be having some family problems and CJ compares how Joey's Dad treats him to the way Sweet talks to CJ. Meanwhile the father in question has more than just family business going on. Salvatore Leone has been approached by Jonny Sindacco with an interesting offer. The Sindacco's want to unite the mob organisations of the Leones, Forellis and themselves and each take a third stake in a Las Venturas casino. Salvatore is interested, but wants an independent third-party to run things. He suggests Ken Rosenberg who has just got out of re-hab after a coke addiction. The one time lawyer has been disbarred and Tommy Vercetti no longer takes his calls. He jumps at the job, little realizing that he will be bullied by all the mobsters to get things done their way.

Kent Paul becomes manager to the Gurning Chimps. A band from Salford, England fronted by a guy known simply as Maccer.

Officer Hernandez is initiated into the force when Tennypenny and Pulaski force him to kill another cop. A mysterious green car glides through the street of Los Santos before it swings past the Johnson house with guns blazing. CJ's mom is dead. It's time to go back.

Welcome to San Andreas.
