Ryan was down in Los Santos just scoping things out when he came across this warehouse down by the Idlewood freeway that connected the airport close by that flew planes in and out of Los Santos to many other places, the rest of Rhydin included as well.
Though, afew weeks after the caper job he had done with Ryder he needed alittle incentive to get up and running so he came to the warehouse taking a look around seeing if he might start a freelancing business. Of course, it wasn't all that easy but there could be some interesting aspects to this, he had a lot of time to think anyway. On top of that, he did meet up with Priya too that beautiful indian girl that probably came all the way from India to come and see him on the plane.
In regards on that, it had been so long since he seen Sasha that at times it was killing him inside to always be alone, to wonder when Skylar might or might not come talk to him as he probably had other arrangements to attend to and not bothered to come talk to him in regards to Sasha, which at knowing this got him frustrated. Nonetheless, he dealt with the best he could manage as for the moment he planned on dating Priya to take his mind off the present situation of lonliness, for if he didn't, Ryan surely then might lose his head with insanity.
So, he'd relax awhile and concentrate on the present situation without worrying too much as to what was and what will be, just simply living life in the present and everything else will fall where they will, all anyone could do at this point in time as he'd attempt to make this warehouse a place like a freelancing organization taking jobs for whatever someone was willing to pay him for a job, not sure the specifics but would be willing to take anything as for the most part, Ryan was an independant contractor of sorts.
A look around the empty warehouse thinking to himself, yeah this could definately offer some new business to his life and some excitement on top of that.

So, it would be that while being in his warehouse he managed to find someone that could be of help to him in sprucing up the business venture he was undertaking. Priya Bhatt, the Algerian arab singing sensation had come into town al the way from India with her half-sister but then, her half-sister wasn't found anymore as Priya wasn't entirely sure where she was, nonetheless, Ryan would attempt to help her out with doing Karoke if she helped him work his business.
Quite the idea in place as already he had an advertizement all set up and ready for her to put out to the public among the whole state of San Andreas, not to mention around the city of Los Santos. At one point, Ryan and Priya would be considered a beautiful dating item together for the most part as these things were going rather slowly. However, it felt good to have someone close by to rely on just like had done with Sasha in the past.
He couldn't help but wonder if she might ever come back as she was out at the Bnb in West Rhydin, but then, he needed to slowly go on with his life as it couldn't just stop as he was sure Sasha didn't want his life just to stop suddenly, she'd want him to be happy and enjoy life. So, Ryan would concentrate on the present situation working on his business venture with Priya beside him as they worked together, truthfully it wouldn't be easy but he'd do all he could to make sure things would work out for how they would.
It seemed for the most part, Priya had filled that part of his heart that had a major gaping hole in it, though she could not ever replace the love he had felt for Sasha, nor would it ever be what he had felt for Sasha. She'd be a part of his life for all time, though simply needed to work things how they may so he didn't go crazy later. After him and Priya shared an intimate moment, he had her pick her laptop up and then drive her back to his house where they'd live there together awhile as a dating item along with being business associates. Something new this was and very uncertain of what was to come for both of them.

Since there was no sign of possibly Priya returning or so, Ryan decided to take matters into his own hands going out into the city of Los Santos and doing abit of recruiting for his company. Of course, it wasn't much but it was better to start on something rather than not at all. So, he went over to the nearest hospital that was named, Los Santos Memorial Hospital and find a person that could be best of service to him.
It was around nightfall as he went to find someone of able nature and stature of sorts, doctors and nurses from men to women passed by doing their usual night shifts. Though, one person in particular stuck out. A black woman whom looked to be a doctor herself was busy talking to someone there who was another doctor also. When she asked if she could help Ryan with anything not knowing him personally, he replied to her with a respectful sort of smile and offered her his business card requesting she meet with him later at his office building on the other side of town by the freeway when she got of work whenever.
She appreciated the offer gladly accepting and then Ryan proceeded back out again shortly after returning back to his warehouse office space. The building was unfinished and unused yet, as there was a lot that needed doing up if he was to plan this kind of venture. ________________________ ~ Five hours later ~ ________________________ The door would soon open up as just as the doctor promised she had shown up in a purple dress looking radiant as ever, Ryan would be shocked to find her like this as then she said introducing herself.(Naomi Bennett) "Hi, you the man that came to see me at work right?"Ryan said to her."Yeah, I'm beginning this new venture of freelancing and I thought with someone at the hospital nearby. Perhaps, you could assist me somehow."Abit of a smile given and listened as he asked."What's your name, ms uh??And she answered.(Naomi Bennett) "Naomi, Naomi Bennett. It's nice to meet such a handsome man like yourself. You look so young too, you been in business long?"Abit of a smile and a tilt of her head some as she'd walk up closer and listen for his response. Whereupon, he'd answer her."Well met, Ms Bennett. Mine's Ryan, Ryan Atwood. I uh, well you could say that though in the presence of recruiting. Thought maybe you could help me with it. I'm in the process of getting more people though so.. tell me, you interested?"A small smile as he offered her to sit, which she would eventually and give a flick of her black hair and answer him.(Naomi Bennett) "I am, so.. in this freelancing position what exactly would I be doing for your business here?"She cross one smooth black leg over the other watching Ryan a moment listening to how he'd answer her question. In turn, he'd say."Well, say someone gets hurt while out on the job I have for them and they need a doctor, that's where you'd come in and I'd pay you of course, on top of your regular salary you already recieve your practice in medicine. From me, you'd recieve more, plus your own office space if you'd want it."Her tongue seemed to roll abit in her mouth as she thought on this, a smile came to her face as she would stand, moving around to the side coming behind the table and leaned down to touch his cheek whispering.(Naomi Bennett) "Mr. Atwood, consider yourself having a new doctor in your business."A kiss given to his cheek softly and leaned back giving a soft laugh and then moved away from him and turned look over her shoulder saying.(Naomi Bennett) "Tell me when to start, and I'll be here. Talk you then cutie."And she winked to him and then left out the door afterwards, in the meantime, Ryan was rather breathless at this woman trying to flirt with him. Damn, it was almost as strong as Priya's flirtation was. Nonetheless, Ryan was beginning to like Ms Bennett a little more as he gave a smile at the thought of the two of them coming close.

Afew hours later, after the meeting with Ms. Bennett, Ryan figured he had another person in mind he could call since he needed a person of interest on the law enforcement side of things, he went to call a certain person listed as Det. Henson.
Ryan talked to the woman for awhile on the phone of which they would agree to meet at the office building that he at near the freeway on the other side of town. Likewise, he hung up the phone and waited for the detective to show up.
Awhile later the door opened and in walked another black woman this time in a dress, rather large around the waist as she would greet Ryan telling her name and occupation. The two discussed things and Ryan mentioned that he'd pay her an editional salary on top of her initial work as a detective working for the LSPD, though he did add alittle secret to the equation that would prove quite generous. He offered her a bonus if she did well while being an employee at his new business venture.
Detective Henson was impressed by this, in turn offered a bonus of her own towards her new boss on the side when she wasn't on call of duty at the precinct. The details were clearly left under wraps. Whereupon, she'd get her own office space like the Medical Department head.
Only this time she was in charge of being the head of Security that surrounded the building and everything around the perimeter and so forth. Thus, in being a new Security Department head was formed within the building, slowly things were beginning to take shape as Ryan now had two department heads employed on his roster so far. After the meeting Detective Henson left shortly thereafter going to attend her own business at home. Life for her was about to change for the better with a smile on her face.

So, with the security department and medical department, Ryan just had one more department he had left to add. The accounting department for his business, yes he came up with changing the name to add his last name to it since he was the owner of his business. Later, he'd call up Julie Cooper his deceased girlfriends' mother and asked her if she wanted to be the head of the accounting department. To which, of course she was delighted to accept the position as she'd be at the warehouse in no time at all.
Time passed and soon, she'd arrive there at that point where Ryan was there to greet her. They both exchanged a hug and a soft kiss on the cheek asking how each was doing and then Ryan proceeded to talk to Julie about her role and that he already had two new departments on call. Julie felt it was a good thing the business had two new people at the helm of the departments, herself included in accounting. Now, surely just as her magizine had come off without a hitch in Newport, CA. Things surely would be looking up here in Los Santos, SA.
She got where her office space was and proceeded to check things out there to see what it was she needed and what she didn't. The story continues..

After the phone call he made to Ms. Benwell of whom he met only yesterday, he had forgotten about Julie whom he already had made as head of accounting. A sigh abit, well he could have an assistant head of accounting, should anything happen to Julie that she might end up sick or having some sort of incident, that someone could take her place whenever she might be out.
He quickly, made his way to Julie's office on the top floor up and told her of the appointment he had for later coming in. Then it hit him, he could ask and see if Ms Benwell could be the new secretary to his office or something. Julie didn't know what to make of this, she was the new head of accounting, then again, she figured after talking afew moments with Ryan on things, he knew better. So, she'd accept his viewpoint on it, no reason to argue as she had a job in here. That's what counted.
Afterwards, Ryan went on back downstairs to tell his street employees on the ground floor of the news. Unfortunately, some would scoff at the idea of this new person coming in from out in the east coast. Nonetheless, they'd only tolerate it, not liking the situation. Later on, Ryan would set up the appointment for 3pm to meet with Ms. Benwell, though Detective Hensen from the presinct in Los Santos had called up Ryan, as earlier he had asked her to do a check on Ms. Olivia Benwell. This is what was told when they talked.
"What you'd find out detective?"
She replied in saying on the phone.
Det. Hensen- "Well, honestly there doesn't seem to be anyone by that name, other than we have an Olivia Benson."
Ryan wasn't sure who that was and said.
"Do a check on that too, tell me what you find is that woman from the east coast that came in from somewhere in New York by any chance?"
She took a moment, the detective stayed on the line and brought her file up saying with a nod softly.
Det. Henson- "Yup, there she is. Her name is, Det. Olivia Benson, NYPD Special Victums Unit, word is she went down to the east coast to grab some drug dealer, she's posing as a wife who's husband went into drug dealing and beat her up, then got into drugs herself and just got out of rehab, she's under the alias, Olivia Benwell. She moved into that residency not too long ago, 403 Fairview Circle. Honestly, I shouldn't be mentioning this so consider this "off the books", if this got out I couldn't be a part in police corruption. You know that?"
Ryan fell silent, it seemed Ms. Benwell wasn't who she said she was, he figured that. Considering, this woman came onto him too fast in the beginning all the sudden, however he couldn't make it look as if he knew anything about it or had hidden connections Ms. Benwell knew nothing about. No, clearly Ryan wasn't stupid, he might've dealt with drug dealers but did the white-collar side of business as he would reply answering.
"No, of course not detective. You're too much of a valuable person to be involved in such an accusation as police corruption. Besides, it worries me for my business. If the men think I've got an undercover cop running around here, they'll end up having me taking a dirt nap before this is all over. Anyway, how old is this woman, Olivia Benson?"
Det. Hensen replied in saying.
Det. Henson- "She's 49 years of age, mother of an adopted child and she deals with sexual crimes is her specialty. That all you wanna know?"
Ryan listens and nods softly answering.
"Yeah, thank you detective. Keep me posted if you hear of anything, I'll be in touch."
And afterwards, he hung up the phone in one way thinking of Ms. Benwell but in another way a hurt feeling just the same. Then again, she had to come under an alias, for if she didn't, then surely she would end up dead not even getting a foot in the door to begin with. Clearly, the woman knew her way around for a cop as to be expected. In one way, she used Ryan to uncover his business of illegal activity going on in San Andreas, but he couldn't let her uncover that or she'd see him in a bad light.
Well, perhaps making her a secretary with a position in his business could either help him or hurt him. Honestly, he was going out on limb here, hopefully she wouldn't disappoint him but sooner or later he would have to tell her alittle bit of the truth in how he knew his connections and so forth. Now, was not the time for that, especially with his feelings sort of compromising his principles in what he knew to be true and what was a lie.
He'd just have to be careful more or less around the rough necks on the street, that's all there was to it. On top of that, not allowing Ms. Benwell to get caught in the cross-fire between fueding gangs in the street at night. Quite a dilemma he faced with so much risk involved.

While Ryan hoped that the appointment with Ms. Benwell would come out ok, something didn't feel right. He would wait alittle longer up until it was after 3pm and no sign of her. He began to feel worried if the woman had caught onto his business or attempted to try funny business.
What she didn't know is that he knew she was a cop underneath as Det. Henson who was on the payroll of his saw what she was, kinda in effect ratted her out. Just the same, at one point Ryan had developed feelings for the woman, Ms. Benwell. Things could've possibly gone wrong as he checked his phone to see if the encrypted number he gave her was still on it.
He dialed it, but then a recording came on to indicate no such number could be reached, since it was no longer in service. A long sigh came over Ryan not knowing what to say, getting the feeling this had all been an illusion. Sadly, he lowered his head putting the phone back, she probably cancelled her meeting knowing what happened or someone must've kidnapped her and he knew nothing about it. He coulda swore she was up at the front desk and the last thing he heard was, she wanted to see the boss.
It didn't make any sense, nonetheless he'd probably check with Det. Henson tomorrow and see what happened. If anything, she probably had another call and had to leave in haste without a word said to him, either that, or her cover had been blown open and she had to head back to the east coast where she came from. Guess things like that happen sometimes, it couldn't be helped. Life goes on as usual.

Life goes on as usual, until a great suprise had come. For it seemed, Ms Benwell got caught in traffic while arriving from a cab to the office building of which she was to meet Ryan at. A smile on his face worried she might've cancelled on him, yet was reassured by her that wasn't the case, that she would phone him if anything happened.
Later on, they went into the office as they talked about afew things. At one point, Ryan would share with her afew things privately, even share abit of a kiss with her in confidence. At first, Olivia thought it was not necessarily proper, yet noone else was in his office with him so, essentially it was okay by his standards.
By the end of the meeting, Olivia had decided to take the job as an accountant in Ryan's business. She wouldn't start until next week so they had the rest of the week to themselves. It was good to know that things were shaping up to look good for both of them. Honestly, Ryan wondered what would come from this as the two of them made their way to his car as both of them decided to celebrate by sharing a drink at the Green Bottle Bar, across town in Los Santos across the way from Ganton St.
As he drove, he told Olivia about the gangs around town, who owned what and stuff that happened around here. The entire business really was streetwise but he didn't do any of the rough stuff, unless he chose to. He'd rather live abit longer than have a short life, that's just how he saw it.
So, from here on out he hoped things would turn out better as his fledgling business could get off the ground with help from a good source. Of course, with it being a lot to take in from Olivia's stand point he understood it, though would work with her every step of the way when he could. He saw a good future for them in this partnership.
