Story: 

Generation after generation my barrio has had the reputation of many desperado's living as a family of anger towards the rest of the world. They sometimes call my home the island for dangerous criminals or/ the d.c. The d.c. flotilla maybe small, but we all are stronger put together especially after the  siestas we all take. The Island maybe filled with criminals, but that doesn't mean that we don't have rules. We have only three major rules on the island. Rule number three, always show machismo. Even when you get down you must show bravado to keep safe from everyone in d.c. We may all consider each other family, but on this island everyone is your enemy too. Rule number two you must be alert for the renegade that are only there to help the enemies. Never let your guard down completely, but just enough to lead them in. Rule number one stick together while retrieving the bonanza, but I can feel it anon, we will not have to do this anymore  longer. We will take over everything!
