First Steps
Edbert gets onto the train, and gets into the city some time later. In his apartment, with his All-Terrain-Vehicles™,a.k.a the thongs and his sunnies, Edbert starts learning the ropes of the city, after spending a few minutes exploring his apartment, he decides to go to the outside world.

First Moves
Edbert gets out of apartments, decides that he should buy a car so he has a ride. He does have some problems with the gps initially, but finds where Premium Deluxe Motorsport is located. There he finds his soon-to-be first friend Victor Fittipaldi. After Edbert finds out that PDM dosent sell Holden Commodores, he settles on buying a more normal car. He finds out from Victor that he would need more than the 5k Edbert had in the bank then. So, Victor decides to help out Edbert and show him how to make money in the city, and lends his tow truck to Edbert.

Learning the Ropes
After learning all the muscles Edbert needed to operate cars, he gets his first job. Victor was busy working at Premium Deluxe Motorsport so Edbert is left to try and figure things out alone. Edbert makes his way to Harmony Repairs Garage where he has some trouble finding the vehicle he needed to tow, but finds it in a bush after some time. Edbert then calls Victor again because he does not know how to tow the vehicles. Edbert here meets with Cassandra Lee, who is also in the city for the first time. They go get some burgers at burger shot where Edbert narrowly avoids being taken hostage somehow.

Getting the First Car
Edbert has to wait a while in Premium Deluxe Motorsport for a while for Victor Fittipaldi to return from his test drive. As Victor comes back and pulls the Sentinel out for Edbert to see, the power goes out. So Edbert makes up his mind that he will buy the car even before seeing it in person.

"'y'know what I trust your word vicy, you haven't led me astray yet. I'll buy it.'"

After getting a loan from a Diamond Hand Credit representative(who was also wanted for attempted murder of a police officer) of $88,579, He does the document exchanges with victor and gets a car first day in the city!

Meeting With Blunt and Getting into the Weed Game
Edbert is just doing Edbert things like grinding money when he gets a call from his good friend Victor Fittipaldi. Edbert then finds Victor's apartment and meets Blunt there. Blunt gives Edbert a deal where Edbert learns to grow weed and uses victor's apartment to store the weed and in turn he helps pay out victor's apartment. Edbert doesn't accept just there but gets confirmation from the club first. Edbert now promises to give the club a cut out of the weed sales.

Current Strats
Currently Edbert has a friend in a van somewhere near the center of the city, Edbert goes out with one package in the trunk of his car and one in his pockets, then goes to sell with another partner in the car with him. This is repeated until all 10 packages are sold and around abouts of $19,000 profit is made per run at least.

Old Strats
Edbert has a friend with all the packages in a van parked somewhere, he would fill his trunk and pockets with packages and go sell all of them. He got caught with this strat once and now has decided to be more consious with the selling, considering he also got a fine of $80,000 for a first crime and first time in jail.

The Stop
Edbert is driving home through Vespucci Canals to get to his apartment he shares with Victor Fittipaldi. He is just casually jumping over some bridges when he runs into Randy Wrangler in a undercover Comet. Edbert decides to pull over so he only gets the ticket. Upon pulling over and Edbert is asked to show his id, which he shows. Edbert is then asked for the first time to get out of the car, for a traffic stop, which was never done before. But Edbert complies in hopes of not sounding suspicious and gets out the car. Wrangler askes if Edbert has ever done eny heroin, Edbert correctly replies "no" then rolls up the sleeve of his right arm to prove it.



Getting Caught
"'There is no reason to run if all I've done is speed, they have no reason to check the car'"

Edbert now sitting alone in the car, is waiting for his buddy Steven Stone III to be done asking questions to. As Edbert waits, he alerts Stevie McQueen about the situation. As he is done texting, he sees Stone getting handcuffed. Seeing this he immediately tries to alert Stevie, but realizing she was asleep, he frantically texts Collin McKinley, asking him to shoot the officers so they can escape getting the 9's. Collin calls Edbert but Edbert cannot pick up because he is being watched by another cop.

Wrangler now comes back to Edbert, and asks him to step out the car again. This time he asks if Edbert has a gun on him, to which Edbert says yes and proceeds to show the registration for his gun license, but wrangler is somehow scared by this, so Edbert puts the phone away. Wrangler askes to search Edbert so he could get the gun out, but Edbert denies. Not complying to a search is within the rules. After Wrangler asks the third time, Edbert gets tazed and cuffed, and after being searched, Wrangler finds weed in the pockets. Then he proceeds to search the trunk of the car and finds even more weed.

Edbert is now put into the Police cruiser and taken to Mission Row PD.



The Interrogation
Edbert is now sitting in the Interrogation room, waiting for his lawyer Anna Swallows to come down, he strikes a menacing T-pose, asserting dominance over the interrogation table. When Anna comes down she instructs Edbert to say nothing and Think before saying anything. But Edbert has only 2 braincells so he forgets this late on. Wrangler now enters the room and reads the rights to Edbert once again. After concluding that there are in fact two T's in "Attorney" and one in "Drug Trafficking", They get to discussion.

Anna Swallows asks Randy Wrangler how a routine traffic stop turned into a Search and Seizure and then a 9's charge. Wrangler replies as Edbert would not comply with Wrangler to retrieve the firearm from Edbert pockets for the security of the officers. But Edbert had already agreed to put the gun on the ground. The other officer says the reason the stop was conducted as a normal traffic stop is to help not escalate the situation further, and that the car was seen driving at high speeds and doing jumps before. The stop was considered to be for reckless driving for which a search is authorized. But that would mean Wrangler lied to Anna about the reason they were there to begin with. The officer responds that the probable cause is the fact that they were pulling Edbert over for reckless driving, which is an arrest-able offence. But Wrangler had never told anna about the reckless driving, but they move on from that. Wrangler then leaves the room to find out how much weed was found in total. He comes back later to say the total meth weight came to about 2.8 pounds, which was a felony amount. Anna asks Wrangler about how to not turn this into a 9's charge because Edbert has had no priors. Wrangler says he could ask some questions to Edbert and then he will see.

Wrangler asks Edbert how he got the weed, Edbert replies with "the weed? I grew it myself!". This is where Edbert realizes hes fucked himself over by admitting to cultivating. Wrangler asks where he grew the weed, Edbert not wanting to give any further information says he grows it all around town. "Where were you taking this weed sir?" "I was just driving around trying to figure out what to do with it".

Wrangler now believes Edbert is in a gang (which he was), so he pressures Edbert to tell him the gang name but Edbert says nothing and Wrangler eventually gives up.



Conclusion

 * Edbert got jailed for the 9's
 * Steven Stone III was charged with accomplice
 * Edbert now hates the PD
