The Brotherhood

The Brotherhood are a group of corrupt detectives of the LAPD in the Ride or Die series. They make their first appearance in Ride or Die: A Bad Boy Romance, Book 1, Chapter 4, although they are not revealed until Book 1, Chapter 12.

About them
Not much is known about the Brotherhood, apart from that they conduct their business through a single liaison (who is later revealed to be Detective Foley). According to Jason Shaw and Your Character's father, the Brotherhood is responsible for a number of murders of witnesses that were to testify against them. Jason describes them as dangerous. They threaten to hurt Teppei Kaneko and the Mercy Park Crew, unless they do specific jobs for them. The jobs included stealing four cars worth two million dollars together, and destroying a marked antique car because it contained incriminating evidence.

Teppei knew that the Brotherhood was a group of corrupt police officers, but he didn't know which officers were a part of the gang. He only knew your father had been assigned as lead detective on the MPC case, so he tasked Logan to befriend you and extract information from you. However, since your father is clean, you could only provide little information if you choose to.

Teppei eventually decides to resist the Brotherhood's demands and they attempt to kill him by shooting him in the leg in Chapter 6. Despite that, Kaneko refuses to betray them for fear of his freedom as well as because they threatened to hurt his crew and Colt while he was in the University. In Chapter 12, it is revealed that Teppei and Colt managed to trick them by abducting Detective Foley during a match in the stadium, and making The Brotherhood believe that Foley betrayed them to the FBI. Later, Teppei admits that the reason he didn't reveal to his crew that The Brotherhood are a bunch of corrupt cops, was because he couldn't stop them alone.

The Brotherhood's real identity is revealed in Chapter 12, when you either see Jason murdering Foley, or when Foley flubs the truth in front of Jason. When you and the crew escape them in Chapter 13, it is revealed that Salazar was found dead, and you assume that it was The Brotherhood's doing. Jason also threatens you to keep his secret, otherwise he would hunt you, your family, and your friends down.

They are finally taken down in Chapter 15, when you and the crew devise a plan to lure them to Mar Vista Prep High School so that Toby and Ximena record their faces on camera. Detective Wallace and Hester then abandon Jason, and Mona quits and helps you against Jason, resulting in her getting shot. He then escapes only to be arrested when arriving home to get his wife Megan (By your father if you took the premium scene). As for Mona, you have the chance to either take her to the hospital, or leave her to be captured by the Police.
