Brownstone Agency

TUMB 06/3,etc. As Brownstone's reputation grows, so do the number of requests for his help. Sgt. Mack has begun to ask him to bring in Level Ones, as they might "turn" and supply the Police Department with vital information on bigger fish. It has gotten to the point where Brownstone needs to do something about it, so he creates the Brownstone agency, a legal, licensed, bank-account, S Corporation entity. He has asked Trey, the leader of his local gang, to be his first employee, and Trey agrees. (He could turn the gang into something more disciplined; more useful to both the city and themselves. They could push back against the assholes together, and make good money doing it at the same time.) Shay thinks it's a good idea.

Brownstone immediately sends him out to do some First Level stuff, and Trey is very successful in bringing in the perps. Trey also begins to develop a more solid character, (See Character - Trey), and begins to advise Brownstone on what the business should become.

“I say stick the boys in suits. That can be our Brownstone Agency trademark. We’ll be the best-looking sonsabitches in LA. Nothing wrong with going legit after you’ve proven you’re badasses.” Trey agreed, and starts to develop a new personae, one with better English grammar (He marveled at Trey. The gang leader could switch up his language in an instant to whatever people expected. It was a good strategy, because it made people underestimate his intelligence.) and vocabulary, better dressed ("slick"), smarter (wears armor and protection when goes out on the job), and is reading more, as one of his new mottoes is “The more you know, the less you die."( Sun Tzu, The Art of War) Trey believes in trying non-violence first (My name is Trey Garfield. I’m with the Brownstone Agency, and I’m here to bring you in.”), as a reputation will be developed that will save energy and lives further down the line. (I figure if the word goes out that the Brownstone Agency won’t dog on a man once the cuffs are on, more guys will surrender.) Believes that "Trey Garfield brings style to this game."

Trey has also started to recruit new employees from his gang and has requested that Daryl and Isaiah be allowed to join the staff. so now James has to find someone to train them in proper techniques and behavior. He interviews Staff Sergeant Chris Royce, retired. The reputation of the Brownstone Agency was growing with each capture. Once they brought Royce on, agency action would explode.
