Chapter 44: Dangerous Allies

January 17TH 2004: Vice City, Florida [12.28pm]

Tony and Tommy are sitting opposite each other in Tommy's office back at his mansion, each of them are bandaged up pretty tight and have noticable wounds covering the arms, the face, and even the hands. Damien, Umberto and Mitch Baker are also present, but each of them are standing up. Tommy finally breaks the silence.

 

Tommy: (Turns the TV on with the remote on his desk and begins watching the news) ...Still nothing, I just don't get it...

 

Damien: (Takes over from Tommy's sentance) Yesterday, Vice City is swarming with the Colombian Cartel, today...

 

Mitch: (Takes over from Damien's sentance) Today nothing, I know, it doesn't make a catlick of sense to me either... (Looks at Tony) You gonna call for your wife to be sent back over here? Or you gonna leave her in Carcer for a little while? (Laughs) I know everyone could use an excuse like that to get a break for a few days, am I right?

 

Tony: (Stands up) This isn't a laughing matter, Mitch. Yesterday the leader of the Cartel got away, and today there is no sign of anything... something isn't right... but I can't figure out what...

 

Tommy: (Puts his feet up onto the desk and his hands behind his head and relaxes) There was one thing he said that got me thinking, though...

 

Tony: (Along with everyone else looks over at Tommy) What was it?

 

Tommy: (Takes his hands from behind his head and starts motioning them as things were happening yesterday) He sicked his guards on our asses, and he said one thing that I don't think you caught onto, but I did, and that was: “A leader of the Colombian Cartel”. He said “A”, as in there are more...

 

Tony: You think those two that were with him were leaders?

 

Tommy: Don't be ridiculous, they were both way too easy to kill to be leaders. We both killed 'em, right?

 

Tony: (Thinks back) Well, I remember one coming down the shoot, and as I saw his legs coming out, I shot 'em and he stopped coming down, then I shot 'em again. I don't think he died, but he sure couldn't walk with 'em

 

Tommy: That's good enough, but right now we need to rest, get security tightened, and make sure that no one gets in here and attempts this again... I can't even count how many people we had to kill yesterday... gotta be in the triple digits, atleast three hundred to four hundred, easy

 

Tony: (Walks over to the door) Yeah, I'm gonna head over to my house on Prawn Island, make sure everything is alright over there

 

Umberto: Take a few of my meng, and Damien along with you just incase

 

Tony: Yeah, (Looks over at Damien) come along, kid. I'll buy you an ice-cream on the way there

 

Damien: I thought you said this wasn't a time to be funny (Walks over to Tony and they both walk out of the office)

 

Tony: It's only time to be funny when I have a joke to say. (Walks down the stairs with Damien and a few Cubans at the bottom follow them out of the mansion) You wanna drive?

 

Damien: Do I get another two thousand bucks?

 

Tony: Wha'd I tell you? Only funny when I've got a joke (Tosses Damien the keys)

 

Damien and Tony along with the Cubans walk down the steps and get into a parked Taxi at the bottom, and Damien starts it up and heads out of the parking area.

January 17TH 2004: Vice City, Florida [1.44pm]

A Shamal comes into landing at Escobar International. When it lands, the Grove Street, Balla & Vago OG's each get out one by one. CJ puts his shades on, being blinded by the light from the sun blazing down from the sky of a seemingly regular sunny afternoon in Vice City, and he looks over to Sweet

 

CJ: Where we stayin' at anyway? (Walks off the stairs attatched to the Shamal)

 

Sweet: There's a few Hotels at Ocean Beach. Figured we'd hea' down ther', see what's what

 

Mark follows closely behind CJ and Sweet, walking side by side with OG Kane, who takes his shades off and looks up at the sun and slaps Mark on the chest and smiles

 

Kane: Nevuh' bin' this far away from home I bet, huh?

 

Mark: Yeah, sure (Slows his pace down and drops back and starts walking next to the Grove OG he was with on the plane) You ever bin' out here?

 

Vin: Naw', looks like a nice place but I ain' ever stepped foot outside'a Los Santos

 

The Homies continue walking down the airstrip until they reach the back gate and continue going through, as a Helicopter in the distance comes in for a landing, and stops on a newly built Helipad. The Homie's each get into Taxi's outside of Escobar International and they begin heading off to Ocean Beach, as a blue Lowrider speeds through the back entrance of the airport and starts slowing down as it reaches the Helicopter. Cesar Vialpando gets out of the Lowrider and quickly runs over to the Helicopter, as the doors open.

 

Catalina: (Steps out of the helicopter and closes the door behind her) Jou're late as usual

 

Cesar: I got held up, I swear!

 

Cesar nervously takes out a cigarette from his leather jacket pocket and puts it in his mouth and lights it up, trying to make little to no eye contact with Catalina as possible. Catalina is wearing a dark blue tanktop, cutting off at her midriff, and skin tight jeans. She has a scar running down at a 45 degree angle over her left cheek, and she grabs the cigarette from Cesar and puts it in her mouth and walks past him

 

Catalina: Take me to the Mendez building before we get spotted (Looks at the Lowrider) Open top!? Jou imbocile

 

Cesar: Sorry, just get in and we'll be there in twenty miniutes (Hops over the door and into the drivers seat)

 

Catalina: Julio's in deh hospital, so his son sent me some information. Drive and I'll fill jou in.

 

Cesar starts the lowrider up and reverses then drives out of the back entrance of the airport.

January 17TH 2004: Vice City, Florida [1.52pm]

Cops are nervously waiting at the Boatyard, carefully aiming at the large boat that's coming in at an alarming pace. The boat doesn't slow down and the cops quickly run back, only to be shot by Caribbean Cartel members on the top deck of the boat. All of the officers were killed immediatly.

 

Carlito: (Walks over to the front of the deck and looks down, and takes a bite out of a red apple) Nice shooting (Slaps a Cartel member on the shoulder) Could'a used you back in Hawaii. You come with me, everyone else stay here and wait for the rest of the cops to show up

 

The Caribbean Cartel member sticks close by Carlito as they walk down the uneasy ramp off of the boat and past the wreckage of where the boat crashed into the Boatyard docks, and Carlito gets into a yellow and green Speeder, as the Cartel member gets in and starts it up and speeds away, as police begin surrounding the area in boats

 

Carlito: Take 'em out (Picks up an M16 Machine Gun from under one of the wooden seats and hands it to the Cartel member)

 

The Cartel member proceeds to blow holes in each of the police boats, as Cartel members on the large stationed boat begin firing down at them with AK47's, and it's not long until the police boats sink, and Carlito takes another bite from his apple as they continue speeding down the shoreline.

 

Carlito: Head over to the apartment blocks in Little Cuba. Got a friend who's working inside over there, knows Tommy. Ac'chuly, toss me your phone

 

The Cartel member takes out his phone and hands it to Carlito who proceeds to dial

 

Carlito: (Waits for an answer) .....Yeah, just checkin' where you are... You're with Tommy right now, eh? Alright, make up some excuse to bring him to Little Cuba, this could be much easier than I already anticipated. (Hangs the phone up and tosses it back to the Cartel member) It's a done deal, over to Little Cuba.

January 17TH 2004: Vice City, Florida [2.06pm]

Umberto looks nervously over at Tommy with a cellphone in his hand. His eyes run over Tommy's body language and he grins and hangs the phone up and turns the TV on, as Tommy looks over at him

 

Tommy: Why'd you--

 

Umberto: Damien said they arrived back fine and to turn on the news, so check it out

 

Reporter: If you're just joining us, you're looking down from our helicopter at the carnage at the Boatyard here in Vice City. Heavily armed men have invaded the city and we can't get a clear shot of them, but all we can say is; these men look very similar to the men who attacked our city yesterday. Please stay locked indoors, and stay safe

 

Tommy: (Stands up) Damnit! Get Damien and Tony back on the line! We've gotta warn 'em of what's going on!

 

Umberto: We'd better get outta here first, though. This could be their first target spot. Come on, I've still got the keys to Papi's old apartment in Little Cuba, we can get over there

 

Tommy: Alright, Mitch, you go to the Greasy Chopper, round up some men and come over. If they expect to find me here, they'll be in for a suprise...

 

Mitch and Umberto run out of the office and down the stairs and Mitch hops onto his bike and peels outta there, leaving nothing but a burn mark on the driveway, as Umberto slows down and takes his phone out and presses re-dial.

 

Umberto: Carlito, he took the bait. We're on our way over now (Hangs the phone up and puts it away as Tommy comes out of the doors and over to Umberto) What were you doing in there anyway? We don' have time to clown around!

 

Tommy: Just setting something up, now come on (Runs over to a black Banshee and gets inside along with Umberto and speeds off).

January 17TH 2004: Vice City, Florida [2.07pm]

Tony and Damien are cautiously looking around Tony's mansion on Prawn Island, finding nothing suspicious as they enter into Tony's bedroom, and find nothing but a few turned over closets, with clothes hanging out all over the bed and the floor. Tony puts his SMG on the bed and picks up a plain white long sleeve shirt and puts it on over his black tanktop, as Damien's cellphone begins ringing.

 

Damien: (Takes it out and answers it) Yeah?

 

Voice (OS): Now.

 

The line goes dead and Damien positions himself behind Tony and grabs his throat as Tony begins punching Damien's huge forearm

 

Tony: (Struggling for breath) Whathehell... aryoudoin!?

 

Damien tosses Tony into the turned over closet and starts kicking him in the head as Tony reaches on the bed for his SMG, and Damien reaches it first and takes aim at Tony

 

Tony: (Punches Damien in the midsection, causing his aim to be thrown off and fire into the wall and he stands up and punches Damien in the nose, sending him reeling back) What the hell are you doin'!? (Knocks the SMG out of his hand and punches Damien in the throat, sending him to the floor, outcold) Damn...

 

Tony reaches down and grabs Damien's cellphone, and Damien opens his eyes and swings his head up, headbutting Tony in the nose and sending him flying onto the bed

 

Damien: (Starts walking towards the SMG but is tackled to the floor by Tony, and he begins elbowing Tony in the head) Your days are numbered in this town, you and Vercetti both! (Throws a huge elbow into Tony's eyesocket, causing blood to clot up)

 

Tony: (Grabs Damien's huge arm and tries to apply a keylock but is outpowered and gets another elbow thrown into his face, and he throws a headbutt into Damien's neck) Why the hell are you (Throws a punch into his throat) doing this!?

 

Damien: (Coughs up some blood then spits it at Tony's face and headbutts him in the nose) You think I'd forget what you told me about Alan!? Huh!? I found someone who (Throws a punch to Tony's head) hates you and him just as much as I do

 

Tony pulls away and throws a punch at Damien's ribs, causing him to let his guard down and Tony slams his head down, hitting Damien in the neck, and causing him to cough violently and roll over onto his stomach

 

Tony: Who are you working with? Because they're filling your head with poison, kid

 

Damien: (Coughing) The name Mike Toreno mean anything to you!? (Laughs then continues coughing)

 

Tony: You idiot. You pick now to turn on me, when the city is in complete chaos? You'll get us both--

 

At that moment, Colombian Cartel members shoot the bottom floor windows out of the mansion with AK47's and go inside, and start looking through the house

 

Tony: (Looks around) sh*t, we've gotta get outta here

 

Damien: (Coughing) It's too late for that, Tommy's as good as dead by now. Umberto and Carlito have lead him to his death in Little Cuba

 

Tony: Carlito?

 

Tony jumps over Damien's body and Damien grabs his leg and Tony bends down and picks up his SMG and turns around and shoots Damien's thumb clean off, and Damien screams in pain and lets go, as Tony runs out the room and looks down below to the Cartel members, then starts opening fire on them without hesitation

 

Tony: (Screams back to Damien while keeping a steady pace of fire down below) Who's Carlito!? A Colombian Cartel leader!?

 

Damien stands up and bites down on the stump where his thumb once was to stop the endless blood flow, and limps over to the window and opens it and jumps out, landing on his feet and rolling over onto his back. He quickly gets up and begins running away.

 

Tony: (Looks back around) Damnit, he can't be far...

 

More Cartel members begin coming in as Tony runs back to the room and looks down below outside and sees Damien get into a Cartel Cruiser. He starts shooting at it but to no avail, and Damien speeds off.

 

Tony: Crap (Breathing heavy) gotta warn Tommy... (Hears more gunfire downstairs) and this...

Chapter 45: Last Words?

January 16TH 2004: Vice City, Florida [9.29pm]

Damien is sitting on top of Tommy's mansion, looking down at all the bodies and the carnage that occurred earlier, when his phone rings. He takes it out of his pocket and puts it to his ear

 

Voice (OS): Damien Robina?... Mike Toreno, I'm glad I got ahold of you...

January 17TH 2004: Vice City, Florida [2.18pm]

Tommy and Umberto arrive in Little Cuba, as Umberto gets out of the Banshee before Tommy, and runs up the steps of the apartment and looks inside the windows. He clearly sees Carlito standing in there, eating an apple, with a dozen men behind him

 

Umberto: Yeah, s'all clear, Tommy. Come on, before any sh*t goes down

 

Tommy gets out of the Banshee and runs up the steps and Umberto opens the door, and Tommy walks inside as Umberto stands in the doorframe, watching Tommy move inside. Tommy reaches the living room, and his cellphone begins ringing just before going any further through the door. He walks back into the small hallway and answers it

 

Tommy: Tony? What is it?...

 

The Cartel members begin opening fire on the door and Tommy jumps back into the cramped hallway and grabs ahold of Umberto and tosses him into the living room, and the Cartel members open fire on him, shooting him in the arms and chest untill he falls over, dead

 

Carlito: Tch, knew it was too good to be true. Follow him.

 

Tommy runs outside and hops into the Banshee and speeds away to see Tony's white Infernus coming his way. The bonnet is smashed up and the windscreen has been smashed out. Tony speeds past Tommy and Tommy quickly reverses and follows it as the Cartel members open fire on it to no avail

 

Carlito: (Watching from the window and takes a bite out of his apple) Head over to his mansion, make sure we seize that before he gets back.

 

The Cartel members go around back and into the black Cartel Cruisers in the parking lot and speed away, as Tony and Tommy approach the Downtown area. Tony slows down and turns left into an alley, and Tommy follows him, and Tony stops and gets out of the Infernus, as does Tommy from his Banshee

 

Tony: (Slams the door shut) Umberto's dead, right?

 

Tommy: (Breathing heavily) Yeah...damnit... Yeah, he's dead. Can't believe he'd do this to me, after everything we'd been through

 

Tony: Damien's on the run somewhere, and the Colombian Cartel were at my house, about twenty I'd say off the top of my head

 

Tommy: Alright. I don't know who those guys were at Umberto's place, but--

 

Tony: Damien mentioned he was working with Toreno, and a guy called Carlito (Wriggles his tongue around his mouth then spits out a loose tooth) He kicked my ass as he told me. I've never heard of anyone with a name like Carlito

 

Tommy: Never heard of a Carlito either. We've gotta go to someone who knows everyone and everything

 

Tony: sh*t, never even thought about checking the Malibu. Paulie could already be dead. (Tosses Tommy the Infernus' keys) You drive

 

Tony walks around the bonnet of his Infernus as Tommy gets in the front seat and Tony hops in the passenger seat

 

Tommy: (Looks upahead and sees some black Cartel Cruisers speed by) This might be a little harder than I thought. You'd better be ready to shoot

 

Tony: (Reloads his SMG as Tommy finishes his sentance) That's why I smashed the windscreen and back window out for. Now come on, we've gotta find Paul.

January 17TH 2004: Vice City, Florida [2.47pm]

Tommy makes a sharp left off of the small bridge above the now dried out river and drives down the road and stops outside of the Malibu. The sign has been wrecked and the windows have been blown out. The four bodyguards have been shot in the chest and back and lay dead around the entrance. Tommy and Tony get out of the Infernus and run past the dead bodyguards and up into the club, where they find Colombian Cartel members lounging around

 

Tony: (Starts firing at the Colombian Cartel members and screams to Tommy) Cover me! I'll check the office!

 

Tommy starts firing at Cartel members with a 9MM as Tony makes his way through the dance floor and he dives over the bar and takes cover as he begins firing at Colombian Cartel members, and Tommy dives over aswell

 

Tony: Trade guns real quick, be easier that way (Hands Tommy the SMG and takes the 9MM) Watch my six (Starts running with his back hunched foward, staying low and he runs over to the office and opens the door to find two Cartel members hanging Kent Paul upside down and shaking him. Tony quickly shoots out the ankles of both Cartel members. As they fall down Tommy shoots them in the chest, and Kent Paul falls on the floor) Paul, you alright? (Runs over to him)

 

Paul: 'Fack me, the bloody 'ell is goin' on with this town!?

 

Tommy: We've gotta get some information and fast, and we figured you might know

 

Paul: ...Well? Crack on son, I ain' got all day 'ere. Gotta get to a 'ospital

 

Tommy: Umberto betrayed me and so did Damien. He mentioned he was working with a guy named Carlito. Didn't give a last name, but we figured you might know something

 

Paul: ...Your guess is as good as mine

 

Tommy: Alright (Looks over to Tony) We'd better get back to the mansion, make sure sh*t's going smoothly down there. Load up on ammo aswell (Tosses the SMG back to Tony)

 

Paul: (Watches Tommy and Tony running away) Oi, a trip to the 'ospital wouldn't go a miss!

 

Paul quickly stands up and runs after them as they exit the club and get back into the Infernus and reverse and speed back towards the bridge they came across.

January 17TH 2004: Vice City, Florida [2.51pm]

Taxi's pull up outside of Ocean Beach hotel, and when they stop, the Grove Street, Balla and Vago OG's get out. CJ pays his taxi driver and takes his bags, along with Sweet, Mark and Kane. They head up into the hotel and they arrive at the lobby check-in desk, as Mark wanders over to the bar and orders a beer

 

Sweet: (Whispers to Kane and CJ) Ay, what we gonna do 'bout him? He's makin' me feel sick jus' bein' wiv' us

 

CJ: Give it sum' time, man... (Grins and laughs) Ac'chully, I just had a pretty tight idea... (Looks over to Mark and yells) Ay Mark, I want you to take Vin and some of the other OG's ova' ta' Starfish Island, see if you can't find Vercetti and Tony, n' pop 'em early, aiight?

 

Mark: (Takes a sip of his beer then puts it down and turns around, looking at CJ) Ye'... wh'ever you say, man

 

Mark walks past CJ and shoulder bumps Kane and leads Vin and a couple of Grove and Vago OG's with him. He looks up at the sky and feels light rain begin to drop down on him, as he holds out his hand and feels it drench his palm

 

Mark: "Something doesn't feel right about this entire thing..."

 

Vin stops one of the Taxi's and pulls the driver out and gets into the front seat as Mark and the Grove & Vago OG's follow suit and get in.

January 17TH 2004: Vice City, Florida [3.02pm]

Black Cruisers pull up at the foot of Tommy's mansion, and Carlito is the first to get out of the back seat of one, as Caribbean Cartel members soon get out of each of the Cruisers after that. Carlito begins leading everyone up the stairs and he stops at the foot of the second set of stairs, and turns around

 

Carlito: Go check it out

 

A few Cartel members walk past Carlito with AK47's in hand and slowly approach the front door, then one of the men kick at it a few times until the door falls down, and they slowly walk inside, and one trips over a small wire attatched to each end of two pillars, and they hear a quick beep, then the front of the mansion is blown to bits, sending the Cartel men flying, and causing Carlito to shield his face from the rubble that came his way

 

Carlito: (Coughing) Nice try, Vercetti

 

Carlito and the remaining Cartel members walk inside and Carlito looks around then grins

 

Carlito: Yeah... (Takes an apple out of his shirt pocket) this place definatly feels like home already (Walks over the dead Cartel members body and makes his way upstairs and towards Tommy's office, then he turns around) One of you check it out

 

A Cartel member is pushed foward. A really skinny and small guy, no older than sixteen. He nervously reaches down to the doorknob and opens it, clenching his eyes shut and he slowly steps inside, and nothing happens. He lets out a sigh of relief, and then gunshots are heard downstairs

 

Carlito: (Quickly looks down and sees Tony and Tommy) sh*t! (Grabs an AK47 from a Cartel member) You shudda been dead already!

 

Tony: (Takes cover behind a statue of Tommy's late wife) Should of? (Leans out and opens fire on the Cartel members) Doesn't make any difference to me

 

More black Cruisers pull up outside and Caribbean Cartel members quickly get out and run up the steps and see Tommy and Tony both standing behind statues, and quickly load up their AK47's, but they're not fast enough, as Tommy and Tony both notice them all, and begin shooting them, and then they both run towards the hallway

 

Tony: (Dives into the hallway) Getting ammo from your office is a big no. What now?

 

Tommy: We pray for a damn miracle, kid (Leans out the hallway and begins firing at the Caribbean Cartel men running down the stairs after them)

 

Carlito: (Takes out his cellphone and dials it and takes another bite out of his apple and he gets an answer) Send everyone over here, now! This is a little harder than I let on (Hangs the phone up and dials another number and awaits an answer) ...Damien, get over to Tommy's mansion and bring something heavy (Hangs up and starts running towards the hallway) Think they can survive Carlito Colón!? That's a f*ckin' joke! (Starts running towards the second floor hallway)

 

A few Taxi's pull up outside of the mansion, and Mark gets out along with Vin, some more Grove OG's, and some Vago OG's, and Mark notices the destruction on the front of the mansion and he cautiously walks up the steps, with Tec9 in hand

 

Tony: (Leans out from the hallway and fires at another Caribbean Cartel member) These guys aren't going down quick enough!

 

Tommy: (Starts running out into the hallway to get an AK47 from a downed Cartel member and grabs it, then gets shot in the arm by a Cartel member) f*ck! (Starts running towards the lounge as it's closest, and he jumps behind the couch and looks over the wound, then looks around for some alcohol) f*ck! Never any when you really need it!

 

Tony: (Screams) You okay!?

 

Tony watches as a hail of bullets from outside comes through the broken mansion doors, hitting Cartel members in the head and chest, and he watches Mark walk in

 

Tony: (Screams) Mark!? What the hell are you--

 

Mark quickly opens fire on Tony, and hits him in the chest, as Tony jolts backwards then starts limps down the hallway and takes another shot to the back, and he collapses into the staircase to the left of him, where he sees Carlito standing above him, looking down at him

 

Carlito: (Takes a bite of the apple then throws the rest away and swallows it, looking down at an injured Tony) You're still alive? Impressive, gotta say. Maybe you may just survive this onslaught. Oh wait, maybe not. (Points the AK47 right next to Tony's head) Last words?...

Just a quick update; I haven't been writing this story much lately, but I'll never lose motivation to continue writing it, because I mainly write for myself and I just post it here . I've mostly been writing on my Heart City Trilogy game-scripts which I also post in these forums, I just started writing out the third one. So far, this story has 58 chapters written out.

I thought u didn't . I was really getting into the Heart City stories, but i lost track where i was at so i quit reading it. I only check it out from time to time. I really like that story too, especially the way the missions and stuff are set up... but staying on topic, you're written a crapload Tony, You diserve at least one more star... all of this writing is hard work, especially imagination-wise lol. I would never be able to come up with a story as long and as good as this, with all of the grammar and text being proper you know? So thanks for writing Zimmzy, I don't read that much anyways,so this story is awsome!!!

Chapter 46: Plague

January 17TH 2004: Vice City, Florida [3.21pm]

Mark fires at Caribbean Cartel members along with the other OG's, as some of each side die, and Mark makes his way through the hallway, and turns the corner to see Carlito standing over a fallen Tony, with an AK47 pointed right at the back of his head. Carlito looks up at Mark and points the AK47 at him

 

Carlito: And who the f*ck are you, tough guy?

 

Mark: (Points the Tec9 at Carlito) I cud be askin' you the same thang. S'yo business here?

 

Carlito: Taking over this town. Taking over this mansion. You got a problem with that?

 

Mark: Ac'chally... yeah, as a matter of fact, I do. (Starts walking closer to Carlito, and Carlito begins backing away from Tony, who starts coming around) Thought you didn't wear body arm'a. Sayin' all that sh*t bou' how you 'didn' need it'

 

Tony: (Coughing) Good thing... I changed my opinion then, ain't it? (Turns around, looking up at Mark who still has his Tec9 aimed at Carlito) Wha'd you shoot me for man?

 

Mark: Little bit of instinct for what you did ta' Big Bear. CJ's real mad at ya', wants ya' dead, along wi' Vercetti too

 

Carlito: (Starts walking down the stairs) You know what? You take him, I don't care either way (Quickly fires at Mark and runs down the stairs)

 

Mark: (Falls back a little bit) Mother f*cker...

 

Tony: (Looking at the blood pouring outta Mark's ribs) sh*t, why ain't you wearing body armour?

 

Mark: (Falls into the wall and slides down it, dropping his Tec9) Figured this place wouldn' be dangerous. Not like I'm in tha' Grove 'n nee' to wear it twenny fo' seven

 

Tommy (OS) (Screams): Come on! Any more of you f*ckers wanna die today!? I can't f*ckin' hear you!

 

Tony: (Stands up, still woozy) Alright, we gotta get you to the hospital

 

Mark: Even afta' I shot at'chu like I did?

 

Tony: (Helps Mark up and starts walking him through the hallway) Yeah, even after you shot at me like you did. (Screams) Tommy? Where the f*ck are you?

 

Tommy: (Comes in from the lounge with a bandage over his arm) Was taking cover behind the couch... (Points the AK47 to Mark) What the hell are you doing here?

 

Mark: Bleedin' all ova' ya f*ckin' house, nigga. What's it look like I'm doin'?

 

Tony: Come on, we've gotta get him to a hospital before he bleeds out. (Hears tires screech outside) Son of a bitch went through the back door!

 

Tommy and Tony help Mark down the stairs and into Tony's Infernus and Tony gets in as Tommy stays outside

 

Tommy: I'm gonna head over to the Greasy Chopper, take cover with Mitch and his men. When you're ready, come over unless I call you

 

Tony nods and speeds outta the drive way.

January 17TH 2004: Vice City, Florida [3.36pm]

Reporter: Breaking News: In all the controversy surrounding the boat incident today, we can reveal these two hundred strong refugees were none other than the notorious Caribbean Cartel gang. It is unknown if these are the same men as yesterdays attacks, but we are pretty cert-- (Grabs his earpiece and starts shaking his head) We've just been informed of a huge shootout on Starfish Island. Rapper 'Chee-Z' said he watched the massacre from his window in his mansion on Starfish Island.

 

Catalina: (Turns the TV off) Caribbean Cartel? (Stands up) What the f*ck did he mean by that!?

 

Cesar: Well.. that'd explain why we've seen so much more chaos today. All I did was send twenty men over to Tony's place like you said to

 

Catalina: And alotta good that did, huh!? He's still on the run somewhere in the f*ckin' city! I want jou to take some men, go patrol the area, and kill some of these maricon assholes before they wreck everything

 

Cesar grabs his carkeys from the table and makes his way to the door and walks out, and down a few hallways and out of the building and gets into his blue lowrider, as a few Cartel members watch him do this, and he speeds off on his own

 

Cesar: Can't believe this bullsh*t. Givin' me orders like I'm some kind of toddler. I didn't come outta hiding to put up with this sh*t. Was more fun being locked up in a small apartment in Staunton for eleven f*ckin' years (Takes out a cigarette and puts it in his mouth and lights it as he sees a couple of Black Cruisers speed around the corner. He picks up an Uzi and starts firing at them) Assholes wanna invade this city? My city? Be my f*ckin' guest!

 

Cesar speeds after them, shooting at them, and quickly causes one to catch fire and explode, as the other one tips onto it's side then rolls over onto it's roof as Cesar continues speeding through Downtown and he arrives at the Greasy Chopper, and shoots some bikers as he continues speeding down the long stretch of road.

January 17TH 2004: Vice City, Florida [3.46pm]

Tony sharply stops outside of the hospital and gets out of the Infernus and runs around and opens the door for Mark and he gets out and Tony helps him through the hospital doors, as hospital staff recognize him once again, and proceed to run away

 

Tony: Come on! I need help for my friend over here! (Sees a Doctor cowering in the corner) You! Get over here and help him would you!? You're acting as if I'm a f*ckin' bad guy. I'm trying to sort this entire f*ckin' mess out! (Grabs the Doctor by the coat) Now take care of him!

 

Doctor: R-right away. Come with me, sir

 

Tony watches the doctor lead Mark away, and Tony takes his cellphone out of his pocket and opens it up and starts looking through a list of names on the call list. He stops on CJ's name with the cellphone number underneath and hovers his thumb around the call button, then decides to press it.

 

Tony: (Waits for an answer) ...CJ?

 

CJ (OS): The f*ck you want?

 

Tony: Listen; I know you're after me, but Mark got shot in the ribs and he's hurt pretty badly. I took him to the hospital just over the Starfish Island bridge. sh*t is messed up, man...

 

CJ (OS): Ye', whatever man. Jus' know I'm comin' for you.

 

The line goes dead and Tony runs out of the hospital and lifts up his shirt and tank top, and looks down at his chest, revealing a huge bruise. He sighs then quickly goes back over to the Infernus and gets inside and starts it up and speeds away, only to be rammed instantly by Cesar in his Lowrider

 

Tony: (Grabs his neck) Damnit (Looks out the window and sees Cesar loading up an Uzi and he quickly ducks down and the bullets explode through the side windows and all over the doors, and he quickly drives outta there) This guy again!? This guy is f*ckin' bananas

 

Cesar: (Starts reloading the Uzi) Let's see if you can get away from me, eh? (Starts shooting at Tony's Infernus as Tony leans through the seats and fires back) Thas' more like it!

 

Tony takes a sharp right and Cesar follows him round the corner and starts ramming into the back of his bumper, and it quickly falls off, and Cesar runs it over

 

Tony: (Trying to duck in and out of the fire and takes out his cellphone and quickly dials a number and puts it to his ear) Mitch! No time to talk, I'm bein' chased. I'll bring him round to the Greasy Chopper (Hangs the phone up and puts it on the seat and shifts gears) Just five miniutes...

 

Cesar continues firing at Tony's Infernus and it begins smoking as Tony takes a sharp right past the Print Works and soon gets back onto the long stretch road and begins picking up his speed, as Cesar continues ramming him with the Lowrider and shooting at him, and a bullet singes the back of Tony's hair as it glides past him

 

Tony: (Ducks further down) sh*t, I can barely see anything

 

Tony approaches the Greasy Chopper and sees bikers all over the place, and he speeds past the corner and is rammed in the side and speeds into a wall and crashes, as the bikers begin opening fire on Cesar's Lowrider and he ducks down and begins speeding away

 

Mitch: After him boys!

 

Tommy comes out of the Greasy Chopper and runs over to Tony's Infernus, and Tony gets out with blood running down his nose and into his mouth

 

Tommy: You alright?

 

Tony: I'm good (Runs over to a bike, still gripping his SMG and gets on and starts speeding after Cesar with bikers now following him)

 

Tommy: (Hears loud tire tracks coming in the distance and runs over to the edge of the street to see Tanks coming) Damnit, they've finally sent the army over here

 

Tommy gets onto a bike and quickly starts following Tony, Mitch and the others after Cesar, and quickly catches up as they speed down the further strecth of road.

 

Tony: (Starts firing at Cesar's Lowrider with the SMG and screams) Who's running now!?

 

Cesar quickly takes a right and speeds past Ammunation as Tony, Mitch and the others keep following, and Tommy skids to a stop and runs inside of Ammunation

 

Cesar: (Takes his phone out and starts dialing as he goes over the bridge)

 

Catalina (OS): What!?

 

Cesar: I'm gettin' chased by a bunch of pissed bikers... and Tony. I need you to send men out to find me before it's too late

 

Catalina (OS): Idiota! Jou're on your own!

 

Cesar: Catalina!?... Catalina!?! sh*t! (Throws the cellphone into the back seat)

 

Tony and Mitch catch up to Cesar as they go over the bridge and Tony bursts Cesar's back tires and Cesar begins losing control of his Lowrider, as Tony continues firing at it with his SMG and Mitch continues firing at it with his Mac10 until the hood begins smoking, and Cesar loses pull of the car and slams into the metal railings, and they break and Cesar's car goes over the edge of the bridge and just before it hits the water, it explodes

 

Tony: (Slows down and pulls the bike over to the edge of the bridge and looks down as Mitch and some bikers come over) No way he could of survived that...

 

Mitch: You wanna head down there to be sure?

 

Tony: Nah. I've never met a guy who survived something that bad before in my life. Come on, let's head back to the Chopper

 

Tony, Mitch and the bikers reverse their bikes and take off back down the bridge and see Tommy approaching with an M4 in his hand. Tony continues going forth as Mitch slows down to a stop along with Tommy

 

Mitch: You're a little late on this one, Tommy

 

Mitch continues going forth with his bikers as Tommy reverses around and follows them down.

January 17TH 2004: Vice City, Florida [5.03pm]

CJ slowly rolls a Solair to a stop and lowers his shades and picks up a Tec9 from the seat as he glances over at Kane in the passenger seat who is loading up his Tec9 and he honks the horn to the Balla and Vago OG's in the back of the Solair, and they all get out of the car and walk towards the hospital entrance, as Tanks roll past them

 

CJ: We fine' him inside, 'n finish his ass off

 

CJ and Kane lead everyone into the hospital and through past the injured people and Kane approaches a Doctor

 

Kane: Mark Mansell (Lifts up his Tec9 and puts it underneath the Doctor's chin) ...Where is he?

 

Doctor: (Gulps) Room 17, bottom floor

 

CJ continues moving foward as Kane follows behind him with the Balla and Vago OG's strolling behind them both. They reach room 17 and CJ turns around and signals with his hand for everyone to stay outside, and he turns back around and turns the door knob and walks inside to see Mark resting on the bed wearing an oxygen mask

 

CJ: Ay... Mark?... (Closes the door and walks inside and sees Mark start waking up)

 

Mark: (Lifts the oxygen mask off and waves for CJ to come over) Ay man... listen... Tony doesn't deserve this sh*t. I shot at him, an' he saved me from bleedin' out

 

CJ: Tony's gonna be dea'. Tommy's gonna be dea'. And you... you already dea'.

 

Mark: Wh-what?...

 

CJ lifts up the Tec9 and shoots Mark in the chest twice as Mark's body jolts in the bed, and he stares blankly up at the ceiling, and CJ looks around then leaves the room and looks at Kane with a smirk on his face

 

CJ: S'done. Les' bounce.

 

CJ, Kane and the OG's leave as Mark lays flat down in the bed, and after about a miniute he lets out a silent sigh then rapidly sits up and starts violently coughing, and he shoves the bedsheet off of him, revealing Tony's body armor over his torso, and two bullets lodged in it, then he lays back down and starts calming his breathing rate and closes his eyes.

January 17TH 2004: London, England [11.50pm]

Terrance and Alan have been called into Julio Mendez's mansion living room by Christian Mendez, where Christian is awaiting a phonecall. They arrive at the bottom of the stairs and walk through the door and into the living room, and the phone begins ringing and Christian quickly picks it up

 

Christian: ...Yeah, I got it. Alright, I'll send men over there immediatly (Puts the phone down)

 

Terrance: What was that about?

 

Christian: I want you (Looks at Alan) to head over to New Stanford and round up every last one of my men over there and bring them back here

 

Alan: Alright (Takes the car keys from Terrance and leaves)

 

Christian: And I want you to find every one of my father's men in London and bring them back here, alright?

 

Terrance: Sure thing (Picks up a pair of car keys from the glass table and leaves)

 

The living room door opens as soon as Terrance leaves, and Claude walks into the living room, wearing a brown leather jacket and denim jeans as Christian smiles at him

 

Christian: Maria and Kimber havin' a girls night out, huh? Well I need you to take every one of my men over to Vice City in America. I know you must've been there before, so you should know the place pretty well. I just got a call from one of my father's men over there. Said he was ran off a bridge by a huge group of bikers and barely made it out of there alive. Seems there's a power struggle in Vice City, and we need more men over there, and I thought of you...

[Jam!]

It looks like it's gonna be Claude vs. Tommy vs. CJ! Tommy's gonna win...

 

 

Tony: Nah. I've never met a guy who survived something that bad before in my life.

Tony needs to be smacked. Now we know Cesar's still alive.

 

Anyways, awesome chapter!!

Thanks for the reply, mate

 

Quick history lesson incase you haven't read Chapter 13; Tony thought he killed Claude in the helicopter, so the reference of he's never met anyone who has survived something like that, was to Claude, who he thinks died two years ago. Will they meet? Who knows

[KillaCalli]

lol Tony you sound like a TV show narrator lol... anyways, this chapter was the shi*t... keep them comin!!!

 

EDIT:

CJ: Tony's gonna be dea'. Tommy's gonna be dea'. And you... you already dea'.

 

Mark: Wh-what?...

 

CJ lifts up the Tec9 and shoots Mark in the chest twice as Mark's body jolts in the bed, and he stares blankly up at the ceiling, and CJ looks around then leaves the room and looks at Kane with a smirk on his face

Chapter 47: Last Chance

January 18TH 2004: Vice City, Florida [12.15pm]

Tony rubs his red, sore eyes with the backs of his hands until he can clearly open them, and he sits up on the counter of the bar of the Greasy Chopper, with empty beer glasses, and beer cans all around him. He nudges a biker that's sleeping on top of his foot to wake up, and he rolls over. Tony stands up and looks around, seeing Tommy face down snoozing on the pool table in the middle of the bar. He laughs and walks over to him and taps him on the shoulder, and he starts coming around

 

Tommy: (Turns around and looks up at Tony) Huh? Aww sh*t (Rubs his eyes and yawns) I think our stake out went a little down hill last night. The booze didn't help things, that's for sure...

 

Tony: (Watches Kent Paul stand up from behind the bar with a bucket lodged on his head) I don't think it did, no

 

Paul: 'Av I gone blind or wot? (Feels his face and feels the cold exterior of the bucket on top of it and he lifts it off) Lil' drink never 'urt anybody, ay?

 

Tony: Whatever you say, Paulie. (Takes his car keys from his pockets) I'm gonna go cruise around, see if I can find any Cartel members around the place

 

Tommy drifts back to sleep as Paul follows Tony

 

Paul: You can drop me off at the ol' titty bar if it's not outta ya' way, sunshine

 

Tony: Yeah, no problem (Walks out the front door and gets into his beat down, parked Infernus along with Paul and quickly speeds away).

January 18TH 2004: Vice City, Florida [1.02pm]

Catalina is sitting in Cesar's office in the Mendez building of Cartel operations and shes flicking through a magazine with a pair of glasses on, with a couple of Cartel members standing guard by the door, when a loud knock on the door is heard. She puts the magazine away and looks up at the door

 

Cesar (OS): Catalina! Let me in already, I been out on the f*ckin' streets all night. S'no way to treat your cousin, eh?

 

Catalina: (Stands up and bangs her fists on the table) I told jou Mendez was sending his guns over today! So go get 'em and take 'em over to Tommy's place already!

 

Cesar (OS): Please, Catalina. I need some coffee and cigarettes, and money!

 

Catalina: Not until jou take jour sorry ass and Mendez's guns and go check over Tommy's place! I want that place locked down!

 

Cesar (OS): f*ckin' bitch! C'mon!

 

Catalina: I'm not listening to jour petty whining anymore (Picks the magazine back up and starts humming a tune until Cesar stops banging and leaves).

January 18TH 2004: Vice City, Florida [1.13pm]

CJ, Sweet and Kane are back at the Ocean View hotel with a couple of the OG's hanging out by the bar, laughing as they drink their beers. CJ is telling of what happened to Mark yesterday one more time to his brother, and the OG's who haven't heard it yet

 

CJ: So I walk in; he's layin' on tha' bed, totally out of it, I walk up 'n say 'Ya' dea'!' 'n shoot him in tha' f*ckin' chest. S'what that nigga gets for f*ckin' wi' tha Grove!

 

Sweet: S'what I'm talkin 'bout right there! My brother ain' no busta! He knows what's what!

 

Kane: (Slaps palms with CJ and Sweet) Gotta hand it to yo'. Grove is King baby, Grove is King

 

The Homie's laugh it up as they continue to drink on, as Carlito and Damien, along with a couple of Caribbean Cartel members pull up in Black Cartel Cruisers outside of the Ocean View hotel. They quickly get out and walk up the steps and into the Ocean View hotel. Carlito looks like he's in a hurry, as Kane gets up and starts walking over to the jukebox with a buck in his hand

 

Kane: 'Chu guys want on? Sum' Madd Dogg?

 

CJ: Madd Dogg? f*ck that old fool, s'get some Chee-Z up in tha' place. Guy's tha' sh*t!

 

Carlito bumps into Kane's shoulder, and knocks Kane back a bit, and Kane reaches behind his back and pulls out a 9MM and puts it in Carlito's face

 

Kane: 'Chu got beef wi' me or what, kid?!

 

CJ: (Laughs) Oh sh*t! You gone done pissed OG Kane off. You betta' have said ya' prayers 'n taken yo' vitamins, son

 

Damien reaches behind his back and pulls out a Mac 10 and puts it to Kane's chest as CJ and Sweet quickly stand up and the grins are wiped from their faces, realizing this is about to get very serious in a hurry.

 

CJ: Aiight, be coo', be coo' (Reaches behind his back and pulls a Tec9 out and starts waving it around) 'Cause you don' wanna do this (Chuckles)

 

Carlito smirks at Kane and continues walking with Damien and the Caribbean Cartel members behind them both, as CJ looks on, not having any idea what just happened

 

Sweet: Fo'get it, bro, let it go

 

CJ: Nawh, bro. I ain' no busta, this sh*t ain' gonna slide wi' me. You down or what?

 

Sweet: sh*t, aiight. Les' do this then

 

CJ: (Screams) Ay! Get tha' f*ck back over here... (Scoffs) Boy!

 

Carlito stops half way up the stairs and turns around and looks CJ dead in the eyes and then looks at the Caribbean Cartel members, as they look back at Carlito then quickly head up the stairs as Carlito and Damien walk down and over to CJ and Sweet

 

Carlito: (Takes an apple out of his shirt pocket and takes a bite and swallows it as Kane chuckles in the corner, and Carlito tilts his head and laughs and points his fingers at himself) Laughin' at me? Am I some kind of clown or what?

 

Damien lifts up the Mac 10 from his side and shoots Kane blank between the eyes as CJ and Sweet quickly dive over the bar

 

CJ: sh*t! (Screams) Kane!? Ya' good or what!?

 

Kane's body hits the jukebox then the floor and Damien passes the Mac 10 to Carlito and they continue walking up the stairs, and shortly after, CJ and Sweet get up and run over to Kane, who is bleeding out on the floor with his arms and legs spread wide

 

CJ: (Leans down to Kane) Man, what tha' f*ck just happened!? Sum punk kids jus' killed OG Kane!? (Looks at Sweet) The f*ck, bro!?

 

Bullets begin flying past CJ and Sweet from Caribbean Cartel members with AK47's and some of the OG's get blasted in the head and chest, as Sweet and CJ stay low and run out of the hotel and jump into CJ's rented Solair and CJ quickly starts it up and speeds outta there

 

Sweet: Iunno bou'chu, but I can live with bein' a busta this one time

 

CJ: We just got fuct'up by some meathead kid and a spic wiv'a fro

 

Sweet: Head over ta' Denise's joint. We'll group some soldiers togetha and kick tha sh*t outta those assholes

 

CJ: f*ckin' wi' Grove Street! (Slaps palms with his brother as he turns around a corner and continues driving).

January 18TH 2004: Vice City, Florida [1.27pm]

Two planes come into landing at the Escobar International Airport, as Cesar waits patiently by a rented Stinger. His clothes are still damp, and are covered in blood patches. He has a large cut on the top of his head which looks infected, and he watches the two planes come to a halt, and the doors open, and he watches Mendez's men exiting the plane

 

Cesar: 'Bout f*ckin' time aswell

 

Woozie and Claude are the last two to exit the plane. Claude unzips his brown leather jacket and is quickly sweating at the forehead of the blazing heat from the Vice City sunshine, which he's unfamiliar with.

 

Cesar: (Looks up and sees Woozie) Can't be... couldn't be... (Starts walking closer to Woozie and Claude) My eyes aren't decieving me. I ain't goin' senile? Loco? sh*t...

 

Woozie: (Tilting his head back and talking to Claude and laughing) I can literally hear the sweat dripping down your face. Not used to this are you?

 

Cesar: (Shouts up the stairs) Wu Zi Mu!?

 

Woozie: (Turns his attention to the bottom of the stairs, and notices the voice, but can't put his finger on who it is) Who are you?

 

Cesar: Cesar Vialpando, esé!

 

Woozie: Cesar!? I thought you were still hiding in Staunton. So you're the man Christian Mendez was speaking of. Hmm, small world afterall. And I'm sure you remember (Moves aside)

 

Cesar: (Looks up and sees Claude and nervously laughs) Oh...sh*t... This ain't gonna be good. I thought you died in a helicopter crash...

 

Woozie: Seems he lived to tell the tale

 

Cesar: He's not the only one who can survive a crash or two then... (Starts walking with Woozie and Claude) C'mon, we've gotta go check out Tommy's mansion first

 

Woozie: If there's gonna be shooting involved, I'm really not up for it. Time hasn't been so kind to my other senses, and I usually stay away from guns

 

Cesar: Alright, esé. Listen; you been out here before?

 

Woozie: Ofcourse. I used to race out here regularly. I'm betting the place has changed since the eighties, though

 

Cesar: Head downtown, and to the Mendez building

 

Woozie: Yeah, I know where that place is. Catch up with you guys later on.

 

Woozie walks away from Cesar and Claude, as Cesar and Claude look at each other

 

Cesar: So... what you been up to? Still racing atall?

 

Claude: (Turns his attention away from Cesar and looks foward until they reach the Stinger, and he hops in the front seat and smirks at Cesar)

 

Cesar: Guess you have been then. You know you still can't outrace Cesar Vialpando, though. (Throws the keys to Claude and gets in the passenger seat) Load up the GPS on this piece'a sh*t, then head over to Star Island.

January 18TH 2004: Vice City, Florida [1.40pm]

Tony pulls his Infernus up to the steps of Tommy's mansion and gets out of the Infernus and looks up at the broken front of the building and puts his hands on his sides as he walks up the stairs, and hears footsteps inside as he gets closer, and he slows his pace down and reaches behind his back, pulling out his SMG and cocking it. He cautiously moves inside and sees his wife with her bags in hand looking at the wreckage to the entire front of the building, with bodies laying everywhere

 

Tony: (Lowers his gun) What the hell are you doing back here?

 

Marci: (Turns around and puts her bags down and hugs Tony) I was worried about you and you weren't answering your cellphone. I had to come and make sure everything was alright, and I can see that it's not. So what's been happening? The media haven't said much in Carcer City

 

Tony: Alright; I'll run you over to the Greasy Chopper. I was just checking this place over. Gonna give Tommy the okay to head back here now (Takes out his cellphone and dials Tommy and awaits an answer) Hey. It's all clear, you can head back now... (Puts the phone away)

 

Marci: Do I have to go back to that horrific place again? I'm sure it's not a safe place for a pregnant woman to be

 

Tony: Hey, you can't always get away with that excuse. (Hears some tires screech outside) Hmm... (Walks over to the door and sees some random cars pull up, and Mendez's men begin getting out with 9MM's and Uzi's in hand) What the f*ck!? Those are Mendez's goons... (Looks back to Marci) You've gotta get out the back way, now!

 

Marci nervously picks up her pace and walks through the hallway, looking back at Tony who has positioned himself half way up the Grand Staircase, nothing shielding him, not even body armour, as he left it with Mark, and he waits until he can get a clear shot of some of the Mendez men, then he crouches onto one knee and rapidly starts firing

 

Cesar: (Takes cover by a wall as does Claude) Guess we've got company afterall! (Tosses an Uzi to Claude) You want first dibs?

 

Claude waits until the remaining Mendez men are taken down. Tony puts the SMG over his shoulder and starts prodding his tongue around his upper mouth, feeling all the scars while he waits for anymore men to come in. He puts the SMG by his side and turns around. Claude waits a moment, then takes a quick breath and goes inside and sees Tony walking up the stairs with his back turned, thinking that was the last of them. Claude smirks and purposly shoots beyond Tony, the bullet flying by his right ear. Tony turns around with SMG aimed infront of him and looks down at Claude, and squints his eyes and tilts his head to the left, slowly widening his eyes

 

Tony: ...Wait a miniute, I've already killed you?

 

Claude smirks as Cesar comes in from behind the door and opens fire at Tony, and Tony quickly dives behind the badly damaged railings and crawls on all fours

 

Tony: (Screams) Unless you've got a twin brother, you should be in a million pieces in Cochrane Dam!

 

Cesar: (Continues firing up at the banisters, watching them explode from the power of his Uzi and stops to reload and he screams up to Tony) Ever hear of jumping out at the last miniute? Idiot!

 

Tony: I wasn't talking to you. I already knew you lived, and I didn't care! You're completly useless. Your friend on the other hand is a different matter

 

Cesar: I ain't in nobodies f*ckin' shadow, pendejo. I'm Cesar f*ckin' Vialpando. Leader of the Azteca's and Leader of the Colombian Cartel! (Continues firing as Tony makes it to the hallway) 'Chu running from maricon!? (Starts quickly reloading)

 

Tony: (Stops and turns around and fires down at Cesar and Claude from the top of the banister and hits Cesar in the shoulder and laughs) Running from nothing. Just got better things to do than hang around shooting at a spic and a ghost. I let you go yesterday, and I'm letting you go today. Now get outta this city, it doesn't belong to you, CJ, or Carlito

 

Tony runs through the hallway as Cesar falls over, grasping his shoulder in pain

 

Cesar: Wha'd he mean by 'it doesn't belong to CJ'? (Grips his shoulder) Come on, (Stands up) forget him, let's get back to the Mendez buildin'

 

Claude helps Cesar out of the mansion, as Tony runs down the stairs and finds his wife down by the back door, hiding in the empty indoor pool

 

Tony: It's alright, they're gone, come on. (Hears the tires screech outside again) They won't be coming back this time

 

Tony helps his pregnant wife out of the empty pool and he leads her around the back and out onto the drive-way and they get into the Infernus and Tony speeds out of the drive-way, seeing Cesar and Claude's car in the distance

 

Tony: Maybe it'd be a better idea to go to the Pole Position instead

 

Marci: What!?

 

Tony: (Takes out his cellphone and dials Mitch) Mitch, head over to the strip club, and lock it down with Paulie. Get that M4 Tommy had yesterday, and bring a Mac down for Paulie. (Hangs the phone up and watches Cesar's car fade in the distance) Guess they're going to that building Denise mentioned. Gonna have to check that place out later... (Reverses and starts heading over the bridge)

 

Carlito: (Watches his car go by and turns to Damien standing beside him) And you thought waiting was a bad idea? You've got a fair bit to learn, kid.

January 18TH 2004: Vice City, Florida [1.55pm]

Mark is standing in the back of a small, dark room, fully dressed in his black clothes, still wearing Tony's body armor, as a balding black man comes into the room with an M79 Grenade Launcher over his shoulder and he hands it to Mark

 

Mark: Thanks, Mike (Hugs him) Mom's still misses you back in Ganton

 

Mike: I know, but listen; you make sure you get back at these guys that have wronged you, alright? I might be your older brother and I might be telling you the wrong things, but you don't let these assholes get the better of you. You teach them a lesson. Now come on, I'll teach you how to use one of these

 

Mark: Aiight. And belie' me, these assholes ain' gonna get away with what they done to me

 

Mike and Mark walk out of the small, dark room, and are surrounded by nothing but ocean, on a small island with a few small houses on it, just North of Vice City as Mike starts pointing everything out on the Grenade Launcher and Mark takes aim into the sky and starts firing shots.

[KillaCalli]

Chapter 48: The Red Masquerade

January 18TH 2004: Vice City, Florida [2.12pm]

CJ and Sweet are sitting on the front steps of a house outside of Little Haiti. Smoke seeping through drain holes in the street, and gunshots going off in the distance. CJ and Sweet are trying to relax through all the sites and sounds, and a brown Kuruma stops by the porch, and Denise gets out of it, with a Mac 10 in hand and a cut on her cheek, and she looks at CJ

January 18TH 2004: Vice City, Florida [2.17pm]

Cesar rolls the Stinger to a stop outside of the Mendez building, as Colombian Cartel members guarding the front of the building nervously look at each other when they each see who's in the passenger seat with Cesar. Cesar gets out of the Stinger as does Claude and they start walking towards the doors of the Mendez building.

 

Cesar: Right, listen; I want you to wait outside the office while I go in and talk with the other boss. Let them know you're comin 'n sh*t

 

Cesar and Claude go inside and turn right and start going up the stairs. After two floors they enter into the elevator and Cesar presses the floor below the top and the elevator begins playing random soft music as Claude zips his jacket back up and puts his hands in the pockets, and Cesar rubs the cut on the top of his head until the elevator comes to a stop and the doors open, and they walk out and walk down the hall and Cesar puts his hand on Claude's chest a few steps away from the office door

 

Cesar: (Looks at Claude in the eyes) Wait here 'til I say you can come in, alright? (Takes the Uzi out of Claude's back pocket) I'd better take that aswell

 

Cesar walks over to the door and turns the door knob and it opens and he goes inside and sees Catalina reading a magazine by the desk with her feet resting on the desk. She looks up at Cesar and slowly puts the magazine down, and Woozie stands up from a chair in the corner

 

Woozie: Cesar? We thought you'd got lost or something (Laughs)

 

Cesar: Listen; (Runs over to Catalina) what guns you got on you or in this office?

 

Catalina: Just a Colt. Should I need more? I dun' think so... why?

 

Cesar: Toss it to me, now

 

Catalina: Alright, calm down before jou break those veins in jour neck. (Takes out a Colt and hands it to Cesar and watches Cesar walk over to the window and take the Colt and the Uzi from Claude and toss them both out) The f*ck jou do that for!?

 

Cesar: (Nervously yells) Alright, you can come in now...

 

The doorknob turns and Claude walks in and Catalina takes her feet off the desk and Claude looks dead into her eyes

 

Catalina: Jou!! (Looks at Cesar) Gimme a f*ckin' gun!

 

Claude's face starts building with rage and he walks over to Cesar and grabs him by the neck and shoves him up against the open window as Woozie tries to break them up

 

Cesar: Sorry, esé! (Struggling to breath) If I told you in the car you would'a flipped out!

 

Catalina: (Runs over to Claude and kicks him in the balls, as Claude lets go and slowly falls over) Jou really thought jou had me dead, eh!? Well payback is a mother f*cking 'beech! Security! Get in here and blow this f*ckers brains out!!

 

Cesar: (Runs over to the door and sees Cartel members coming in) She didn't mean it!

 

Catalina: Yes I f*cking did! Kill this maricon bastard!

 

Cesar waits until the Cartel members start walking through the door frame, then he slams the door into them and knocks them over and grabs an AK47 from one of the downed member's hands and shoots them both in the chest and comes back into the office, aiming it at Catalina and Claude.

 

Cesar: Both of you just shut the hell up and listen to me; Claude's been working for Mendez along with Woozie in England, and Mendez sent him over here to help us out after my unfortunate 'accident' yesterday. Which by the f*ckin' way (Looks at Catalina) Christian blames you for, because you didn't help me out. (Looks down at Claude who is grabbing his crotch in pain) And you and my cousin have had differences but it was three years ago! Put it to one f*ckin' side for now!

 

Catalina: Boo-f*cking-hoo, now gimme that! (Starts coming towards Cesar and Cesar starts backing off and Claude starts standing up)

 

Cesar: I mean it! I'll f*ckin' shoot'chu!...

 

Cesar quickly turns around and runs towards the window and throws the AK47 out of it as Catalina grabs him by the neck and throws him on the ground, and Claude walks over to Catalina and punches her in the face, and sends her to the floor, outcold

 

Cesar: (Stands up and looks at Claude) That's my f*ckin' cousin! (Throws a punch to Claude and misses and Claude tackles him to the floor)

 

Woozie: I'll be getting a cup of coffee... (Starts walking out of the room as Claude and Cesar throw punches at each other).

January 18TH 2004: Vice City, Florida [2.29pm]

Tommy stops outside of his mansion in his Banshee, and he gets out and takes a deep breath and heads up the stairs, looking around inside the mansion with the huge hole in the front of the wall and he walks up the Grand Staircase, with bodies all around him. He enters into his office and sees Carlito sitting on his desk with Damien beside him

 

Tommy: (Sees there isn't a point in shooting both of them and keeps his Uzi at his side) ...Son of a bitch sold me out

 

Carlito: (Laughs) Nah. If you're refering to your 'Capo', he was here, but he left. We watched it all and decided now would be a pretty nice time to hit this joint.

 

Tommy turns around and sees Caribbean Cartel members come into the room, with AK47's in hand and they point them at him

 

Damien: We actually figured he'd be back first, but this way we get something better. We get you. (Stands up from the chair beside the desk) You killed my Godfather

 

Tommy: Now wait just a miniute; I didn't kill Umberto, your buddy there did, and he didn't even care either

 

Damien: You'd say anything to get out of this. There's no level that a Mafia thug like you wouldn't stoop to just to get out of a situation like this

 

Carlito: (Picks up an apple from the desk and shines it on his shirt and laughs) Nah he's right, he didn't kill Umberto. My men did. Just like they're gonna kill you

 

A few of the Cartel members point their AK47's at Damien and he turns to Carlito with disbelief in his eyes

 

Damien: C-Carlito?...

 

Carlito: (Picks up his M60 from the desk and starts leaving the room) I'll see you both later. Then again... maybe I won't (Takes a bite of the apple and leaves the room)

 

Cartel Member: Jou boys got any preferences? Where we shoot jou I mean, eh?

 

Tommy: You know those old firing squads? You know the ones, where the guys get blindfolded and a single cigarette in their mouths. That too much trouble?

 

Cartel Member #2: Go find some cloth or sumin' (Takes a packet of cigarettes from his shirt pocket and puts them on the desk) Both of jou, on the chairs.

 

Tommy walks over to the chair, Uzi still in hand and he slouches down into the chair and looks up at Damien

 

Tommy: C'mon, no point in arguing with 'em. Just take a seat and wait it out

 

Damien reluctantly puts his AK47 down and walks over to the chair he was sitting on when he was with Carlito, and he slouches in it, staring down at the floor

 

Damien: (Mutters) I'm... I'm sorry, Tommy

 

Tommy: Don't be. I would of done the exact same thing in your situation. Now just ride it out...

 

Cartel Member: C'mon, eh? Put the gun down. There's seven of us, two of jou. Don't try and be a hero 'cause it'll end the same way

 

Tommy: (Uses his gun as a distraction for the Cartel members by throwing it towards them and he palms a knife from his front pocket, keeping it concealed by his theigh) Whoa, sorry. Little too much mustard on that throwing arm, huh?

 

The Cartel member chuckles and turns around and walks over to the door as a few other Cartel members stand watching them with their guns pointed firmly at them both

 

Tommy: (Keeps his eyes firmly locked on the Cartel members then he watches a Cartel member come through the door with two pieces of dark blue cloth) You know, it may sound silly but I always wanted to go out this way. Firing squad, just has that certain flare to it (Watches the Cartel member walk over to him and start blind folding him then he swings his arm foward and stabs the Cartel member in the stomach with the knife and grabs him and stands up, using him as a shield) You wanna take me down? Be his guest!

 

Damien reaches down and grabs his AK47 and rolls behind the desk as Cartel members begin firing at him. He leans over the desk with the gun in hand and wildly fires at Cartel members, as Tommy stands his ground with the injured Cartel member in hand.

 

Damien: (Shoots the last Cartel member and stands up and looks at Tommy with the injured Cartel member) Kill him and let's go deal with Carlito. I know where the Caribbean Cartel is based at.

 

Tommy: (Lunges the knife into the skull of the Cartel member then shoves him on the floor and picks up the Cartel member's AK47) Where?!

 

Damien: They're at the Ocean Beach hotel. Taken most of it over, every room is crowded with men

 

Tommy: (Takes out his phone and dials Tony and puts it to his ear and awaits an answer) ...Tony, I've got some news. Meet me at the Malibu club in twenty miniutes. (Puts the phone away and begins walking out of the office with Damien) So that guy was their leader? Carlito?

 

Damien: That's right. (Slightly trips over a dead body but regains his balance and follows Tommy down the stairs) And he's on his way back to the hotel right now, but he'll be coming back here in about an hour and a half after he realizes he's not had a confirmation call

 

Tommy and Damien walk out of the mansion and down the steps and get into Tommy's Banshee and Tommy starts it up and speeds over the already warm skid marks on the concrete below his mansion steps.

January 18TH 2004: Vice City, Florida [2.38pm]

Cesar is sitting on the desk of his office with two black eyes and a cut above his lip and he's drinking a beer straight from the bottle. And Claude sits beside him on the same desk with a bruise on his cheek and a cut above his eye, blood running down his cheek, and he's also drinking a beer and Cesar laughs

 

Cesar: Anybody would think we were a bunch of fifteen year olds. (Watches Catalina get up with blood running down her nose) 'Bout time you woke up

 

Catalina: (Rubs her head and looks over at Claude, and smirks) How'd jou survive that chopper crash in 2002?

 

Claude closes his eyes for a few moments then opens them, as the remaining blood from his cut pours out from tensing the muscles in his face and he looks at Catalina then looks down at the floor as Cesar puts his beer bottle down

 

Cesar: Probaly the same way you survived the chopper crash in 2001

 

Catalina: I can understand why jou would of thought I was dead. But c'mon, jou knew me better than anyone, and unless jou saw my body crumple into dust, never take these things for granted, puto

 

Claude stands up from off the desk and finishes off his beer and throws it in the garbage can across the room and looks out the window and approaches it, as Catalina follows him

 

Catalina: What jou thinkin' about? (Looks out at the sky and it begins raining and the sun dips in and out of clouds)

 

Claude pulls his jacket collar up and puts his hands in his pockets and turns around and begins walking away as Woozie comes back into the room with a coffee in his hand

 

Woozie: (Feels Claude's shoulder bump into him and looks over at Cesar and Catalina) Hmm, it was nice being back in Vice City, but I guess Claude has made his mind up

 

Catalina: What? He thinks he can just leave just like that? After all 'deh sh*t he put me through?

 

Woozie: I guess so. Goodbye, Catalina. It was nice seeing you again. You too, Cesar. Don't be strangers. (Turns around and walks away, following Claude down the hall)

 

Cesar: Jus' let it go. We've got bigger things to worry about right now, like what're we gonna do with Vercetti's Capo? He's almost killed me twice in two days

 

Catalina: Stop being such a baby. (Looks at the small wound on his shoulder) It's barely even a scratch. Unless the bullet is lodged in jour bone, me and jou are gonna go take Vercetti's Capo down. I remember dealing with him four years ago. Remember I told jou about Salvatore's Capo for the Leone's?

 

Cesar: Vaguely, yeah (Takes a packet of cigarettes out of the desk draw)

 

Catalina: That would be him. Tony Zimmzy, right?

 

Cesar: Tony Zimmzy was the one that killed Angelo? sh*t.. Woozie was right, 'is a small world after all. (Picks up a set of car keys from the desk)

 

Catalina: Ac'chually, jou go, I'll stay here. Don' worry, I won't leave jou high and dry this time. Now that I know jou can't handle it by jourself

 

Cesar: Not this time, you're comin' with me. I've got some phonecalls to make to an old friend who I believe to be in Vice City, from something Tony mentioned... (Throws Catalina the car keys) You can drive, my shoulder's still hurtin' me pretty bad, eh...

 

Catalina: ...Whatever jou say, 'lil man (Follows Cesar out of the office and closes the door behind her).

January 17TH 2004: Kanto, Japan [8.40pm]

A Japanese man sits on the floor of his small, cramped, dark apartment, with the only light in the room coming from the PC Monitor on his floor. He's wearing a pair of almost never been washed blue jeans with a dirty white long sleeved shirt and no socks or shoes, sitting with his legs crossed at the PC Monitor with a keyboard infront of him, and a voice begins playing over the speakers

 

Voice (OS): Red, we've got a slight problem... more like a huge problem, actually. Have you been following anything on the news of the events in Vice City? Over here in America?

 

The man pushes the black hair out of his eyes. The dark circles underneath them could fool any man into thinking he'd been awake his entire life and clears his throat and begins speaking into a microphone on top of the Monitor

 

Red: I'm well aware

 

Voice (OS): I know you don't usually take interest in 'gang violence', but sir, we're really stuck down here in Vice City. We've been sending out masquerades of army officials for the past twenty four hours, but they can't seem to get anything or anyone related to any of this. Do you have any idea who might be behind this? Other than Tommy Vercetti?

 

Red: From what I've seen on the news, it seems like Vercetti is being 'over-thrown' as mob leader down there...

 

Voice (OS): That makes perfect sense. Of course, that'd be the reason there are so many gangs running around

 

Red: I'll jet over there later today, but I'm not promising you anything. It's been a few years since I've dealt in the gang side of things, especially in Vice City

 

Voice (OS): Of course, sir. Thank you for taking interest in this, and we await your arrival at Fort Baxter. General Mills over and out.

 

A mild piece of static is heard and the transmission ends, and Red stands up and walks over to his kitchen counter and opens a bottom draw, and he takes out a pair of tatty old white sneakers and slips them on, then grabs a large pair of keys and walks out of his apartment, the light from the monitor slowly turns to black. He walks down the hall with a vacant stare in his raw eyes

 

Red: "Tony... Zimmzy..."

Chapter 49: Cold War

January 18TH 2004: Vice City, Florida [2.56pm]

Tommy stops the Banshee outside of the Malibu club, where Tony is sitting on the steps with his SMG in hand. Tony stands up and points the SMG at Damien and Tommy shakes his head and they get out of the Banshee

 

Tommy: It's alright, he's alright; just put the gun down

 

Tony: Yeah, well just so you know, I still don't trust you (Lowers the SMG by his side)

 

Tommy: We're gonna go over to the Ocean View hotel, scout Carlito out and take him down. Damien said he's over there, so come on, let's go get Mitch and--

 

Tony: No, Mitch is keeping a guard on Marci. She came back to see if I was alright and we kinda got caught up in some action with Cesar

 

Tommy: (Tosses the keys to Damien) We're gonna shoot out the windows of the hotel, incase he's at the bar or on the ground floor anyway. (Looks at Tony as they walk towards the Banshee) Me and Damien talked briefly on the way over. We're gonna get outta the city for a while after this. I've been seeing too many army officials around

 

Tony: Where to?

 

Tommy: Anywhere. Carcer I suppose.

 

Damien gets in the Banshee and starts it up as Tony and Tommy jump in and kneel down with their guns cocked, and Damien reverses and heads towards the Malibu.

January 18TH 2004: Vice City, Florida [3.03pm]

Carlito is sitting at the bar with a drink in hand and a few Caribbean Cartel members standing guard by him, and he takes an apple from a bowl on the bar counter and bites into it, only for his face to turn sour and and he throws the apple away and spits the rest out of his mouth, and he takes another sip from his drink, and takes a quick look at his watch on his left wrist when a hail of bullets explode through the ground floor windows, and Carlito quickly jumps behind the bar as his men are gunned down

 

Carlito: f*ck! (Crawls out and grabs an AK47 from a dead Cartel member and sits upright behind the bar)

 

Tony, Tommy and Damien get out of the Banshee and go up the steps inside of the Ocean View hotel as more Caribbean Cartel members come down the stairway, and are instantly shot at by Tony and Tommy as Damien stays low and moves around the bar, and Carlito spots him and shoots him in the back, and he falls over

 

Tony: (Sees Damien fall over) sh*t, Damien's down!

 

Tommy: (Begins to reload and he sees Carlito stand up from behind the bar) Look out!

 

Carlito begins firing at them both as they both dive out of the way and roll behind desks

 

Carlito: You ain't gonna finish me off, you just try! (Stops to reload and ducks behind the bar, and Tony and Tommy start running over to the bar)

 

More Cartel members come from the stairs and Tony and Tommy have to stop and fire at them until none are left, and they run over to the bar and begin firing at it as they move closer, and Tony stops firing and looks behind the bar, only to see nothing there but an empty clip.

 

Tony: (Looks around) sh*t! How'd he get outta there!?

 

Carlito stays low and runs behind the large flowers by the shot out window and he fires a few shots at Tommy and hits him in the shoulder and he runs out the door, and Tommy falls over and clenches his shoulder as Tony comes and checks on him

 

Tommy: (Biting his teeth together) Forget about it! Go after him!

 

Tony doesn't think twice and he begins running out of the Ocean View hotel and shoots at Carlito who is on foot, and he begins running after him, as they exchange gunfire and duck in and out of posts and cars in the street

 

Carlito: (Stops firing and keeps moving and takes his cellphone out of his pocket and dials a number and puts it to his ear as bullets fly past him and he runs into an alley) Listen, where are you!?... Alright, I'm luring Tommy's Capo back to the mansion

 

Carlito picks up his pace and sees a Faggio Pizzaboy Scooter in the alley and he gets on as Tony fires at him but can't keep up with him, and Tony runs back through the alley and into the street and stops a cop car and shoots at the windscreen, hitting the officer in the chest. He rapidly rips the door open and tosses the dead officer into the street and he gets in and starts speeding after Carlito.

January 18TH 2004: Vice City, Florida [3.16pm]

Cesar and Catalina and a few Cartel Cruisers slowly roll to a stop outside of Tommy's mansion and Catalina looks at Cesar as they both get out of the Cartel Cruiser they were in and start walking up the path leading to the mansion steps

 

Catalina: Jou go in first, make sure nobody else is already there

 

Cesar: Ahh thanks, really... (Starts jogging with a few Cartel members over to the mansion front and looks up inside the huge hole in the front wall and turns around and yells to Catalina) Looks empty at the moment

 

Catalina: Finally jou did something right (Catches up with Cesar) Jou and the Cartel stay here and guard the place. I'm going to tell Mendez we've got the place!

 

Cesar: I tol'jou, I've got something else to do right now. An old friend is out here and I've gotta go find him. Trust me, eh? He'll be great to have searchin' for Vercetti

 

Catalina: Fine. But if jou don't find him, jou're staying here until Vercetti and Tony both come back.

 

Catalina and Cesar begin walking away when Black Cruisers speed through the large Starfish Island road, and they stop at the foot of the entrance point of the mansion

 

Catalina: (Stops along with Cesar and start running back to the Cartel members) sh*t! Good thing we got here first. I'ma sneak outta the back, jou stay here and guard it!

 

Catalina runs up the mansion steps past the Colombian Cartel members and they begin firing at the Black Cruisers, and Caribbean Cartel members begin getting out in pack-loads.

 

Cesar: sh*t, Caribbeans! (Loads up his Uzi and starts firing at them and heads up inside the mansion along with the other Cartel members)

 

The Caribbean Cartel members begin chasing them up to the mansion entrance and they exchange gunfire, and Cesar gets clipped in the wrist and drops his Uzi

 

Cesar: f*ck this! (Starts running towards the hallway in the mansion) Catalina! Wait up!

The Caribbean Cartel begin losing more men than the Colombian Cartel, and soon there are no Caribbean Cartel men left, and only a few Colombian's remain, and outside of the mansion, Carlito stops the Scooter, looking at all the Caribbeans and Colombians dead around him and gets off the Scooter and cautiously runs up the stairs inside with a grin on his face, and that grin is soon wiped from his face when he runs into a bunch of Colombians

 

Cartel Member: Who 'deh f*ck is this pendejo?

 

The Colombian Cartel begin firing at Carlito who is hit in the chest and ribs several times, and he drops his AK47 and falls to his knees, as Tony drives the squad car up the steps and in through the large hole in the wall and Colombian Cartel members begin firing at him and he leans out the window and fires back until the remaining Cartel members are finished, and Tony stops the squad car parked half way up the Grand Staircase and gets out and sees Carlito crawling on the floor towards the hallway.

 

Tony: (Walks over to him and follows him out into the hallway) Come on, this is stupid, where do you think you're gonna get to?

 

Carlito: A-a-any...where...

 

Tony: (Leans down and rips Carlito's shirt off and sees the body armor on him. He turns Carlito around and unstraps the armor from Carlito as Carlito resumes crawling foward

 

Tony: (Shoots Carlito in the leg as Carlito screams in pain and Tony puts the armor on then shoots his other leg) I've got a quick question before you bleed out and die: Why of all the places in world, Vice City? You should of known you were in for a war

 

Carlito stops moving, and Tony sighs. Tony shoots him in the lower back just to be sure, and Carlito doesn't move a muscle, and Tony turns around and walks back through the mansion and outside and down the steps only to see Cesar and Catalina get into a Black Cruiser in the distance.

 

Tony: Son of a bitch! (Starts firing at the Cruiser but to no avail, and his phone begins ringing. He takes it out and answers it) Yeah?

 

Tommy (OS): Paul phoned me and said Escobar International are taking a limited number of flights out of the city. He said he took Marci along with Mitch and they're all on their way to Carcer

 

Tony: (Breathes a sigh of relief) Alright; I'll head over there now and get some tickets. Carlito's been taken care of. (Hangs the phone up and gets into a Colombian Cartel Cruiser and speeds out of the drive way).

January 18TH 2004: Vice City, Florida [3.43pm]

Cesar is speeding through the Little Haiti area as Catalina is yelling at him and he ignores it all and continues taking lefts and rights every chance he gets, until he stops outside of a run down house and gets out of the Caribbean Cartel Cruiser and runs up the steps and bangs on the door and Catalina gets out and comes over, and Denise opens up the door of the house and Cesar grabs her by the mouth and shoves her into the door frame, banging the back of her head into it

 

Cesar: I know you're the bitch that's been helping Vercetti and Zimmzy, but I'm gonna give you one chance to redeem yourself, alright?

 

Denise begins crying and she nods her head

 

Cesar: Where's Carl Johnson? I know he's in Vice City and I know you know aswell!

 

Denise begins crying furthermore and shakes her head as Cesar bangs her head into the doorframe again and the veins in his neck begin building

 

Cesar: You tell me... (Pulls a blade from his back pocket and puts it to Denise's eye) or it's lights out for you, eh?

 

Denise: (Pulls Cesars hand away from her mouth and coughs and looks at Catalina) He's gone ta' Vercetti's mansion. (Continues crying) Bastard lied ta' me, wants Vercetti's head (Rubs the tears from her eyes)

 

Cesar: (Grins and looks at Catalina) You hear that? He want's Vercetti's head! (Turns back around and punches Denise in the face, knocking her outcold and she tumbles down the small steps leading to her house) C'mon, you can drive

 

Cesar tosses the keys to Catalina and they both get back into the Caribbean Cartel Cruiser and Catalina reverses it and begins driving back the way they came

 

Catalina: Carl Johnson. That name sounds familiar... but from where?

 

Cesar: Just drive and when we get there you'll find out why.

January 18TH 2004: Vice City, Florida [4.17pm]

CJ and Sweet are looking around Tommy's mansion, each holding Tec9's and moving around cautiously. Sweet stops on one side of Tommy's office which has the doors shut and CJ stops on the other and they look at each other and mime a count to three and they both bust the door down and point the Tec9's into the office, seeing nothing atall

 

CJ: (Lowers his gun) Man, damn! We lose all tha' boys ta' that psycho wiv' a fro, and now we can't even fine' Tony or Vercetti

 

Sweet: S'aiight, bro. They ain' goin' anywhere. We'll fine' 'em, just relax. (Starts walking around the office, looking through draws)

 

Catalina stops the Cruiser outside of Tommy's mansion and her and Cesar get out and go up the steps and through the large hole in the wall where the door was and they begin moving around the mass bodies and they go up the Grand Staircase, squeezing past the squad car on the stairs and they see CJ and Sweet in the office

 

Cesar: (Yells) S'bout time I found you!

 

CJ and Sweet both turn around with their Tec9's aimed infront of them and they see Cesar and they smile as Catalina notices CJ

 

Catalina: Well isn't this just f*ckin' great

 

CJ: (The smile is wiped from his face when he notices Catalina) Ay! Ain'chu suppose' ta' be dead?

 

Cesar: Funny story, holmes. Little birdie told us you were out here lookin' for Vercetti and his Capo, that true, holmes?

 

CJ: Ye'. We were fixin' ta' take down Vercetti before he had a chance to come down to Los Santos wi' his boys and try 'n take us out. What about'chu?

 

Cesar: Stretchin' my legs. Been outta hidin' for about two weeks. Leadin' a gang take-over of the city. Colombian Cartel, esé

 

CJ: That was you? sh*t, your boys f*cked us up back at tha' Ocean View. We cool 'n all but we're lookin' for that 'fro dude in tha' Orange shirt

 

Cesar: Orange? Nawh, holmes. That's another gang tryin' to take over. You know where to find Vercetti at? Or his Capo?

 

CJ: Nawh, ain' seen 'em yet. Got a phonecall from Tony a while back, sayin' a Grove Boy was hurt an' he helped him. Tryin' ta' sweet talk me won' help him

 

Cesar: Aiight, you wanna roll together? Catch up on old times 'n sh*t?

 

CJ: Ye', sounds good

 

CJ and Sweet follow Cesar and Catalina down the stairs and they squeeze past the squad car on the Grand Staircase and they look over to the hallway

 

CJ: Ay, we should check out tha' rest of tha' house. Might be hidin in tha' back...

 

Cesar: Nah, holmes. They long gone outta this dump, trust me on that

 

CJ: I'ma check it over anyway. Where shoul' I meet you guys at?

 

Cesar: Meet us at the Mendez building Downtown. Can't miss it, holmes. Biggest building down there, and there's some Cartel Cruisers outside

 

CJ: Aiight

 

CJ walks over to the hallway as the others leave, and CJ walks through the hallway and sees a huge bloodstain on the blue carpet, and he steps on it, and feels it's still pretty wet, and warm. He bends down and touches it, and it's soaked through the carpet, and he cocks his Tec9 and continues walking through the hallway, cautiously.

[KillaCalli]

 

Cesar: Aiight, you wanna roll together? Catch up on old times 'n sh*t?

 

Does this have to do with the name of the story? Just wondering...

[TonyZimmzy]

Cesar: Aiight, you wanna roll together? Catch up on old times 'n sh*t?

[TonyZimmzy]

Well, seeing as you're the only reader who's posting on the story currently, (which I love, thank you) I'll be posting Chapter 50 a few days earlier than I'd planned. This is the end of The Rise & Fall.

Chapter 50: The Rapture

January 18TH 2004: Vice City, Florida [8.14pm]

Tony skids a Solair to a stop outside of Tommy's mansion. He has a huge wound on his arm and a gunshot on his shoulder. Tommy gets out of the Solair and Tony has a 9MM in one hand, along with his SMG and his plane ticket in the other hand, and he's resting in the drivers seat of the Solair, with sweat pouring down his cut up face. Tommy runs up the stairs and turns around and looks at Tony

 

Tommy: (Yells to Tony) We're gonna make it outta here, do you understand me? Just wait here for two miniutes and keep the engine running

 

Tony: Hurry it up, it's not gonna be long before CJ catches up with us

 

Tommy runs into the mansion and runs past a bunch of dead Colombian and Caribbean Cartel members laying dead on the floor, AK47's all over the place. He runs up the stairs past a police squad car parked half way up them and into his office and runs over to his cabinet and takes a Stubby Shotgun from the wall and opens a draw and takes out some ammunition, and he sees the plane ticket on his desk and breathes a sigh of relief and smiles and he begins hearing light footsteps. The smile is wiped from his face and he cautiously ducks down behind his desk, and he begins crawling under it, and looking out at the door. After a miniute of silence he gets back up and continues putting the ammo in the Stubby Shotgun, with his eyes fixed firmly on the plane ticket, as Carlito stops by his doorframe with an AK47 in hand

 

Tommy: (Hears it cock and he looks up to see Carlito, then he looks at his AK47 and panics) Don't shoot (Throws the Stubby Shotgun onto the desk)

 

Carlito: (Breathing heavily through all of his wounds, barely able to stand) I made...that mistake...last time. Not this time (Aims the AK47 at Tommy's chest) I win!

 

Tommy: You idiot!

 

Carlito begins shooting at Tommy, and a fireball engulfs Tommy's office, and Tony hears a huge explosion and ducks down in the seat of the Solair and looks up to see the entire top part of Tommy's mansion blown skyhigh, with flames as high as trees covering the broken estate, as Tony puts his foot on the gas and begins speeding away.

 

Tony: (Looking back in the mirror, breathing heavy from shock) CJ? No. Couldn't of been...Carlito?... I'm sorry, Tommy.

January 18TH 2004: Vice City, Florida [4.40pm]

CJ stops searching back out at the front of Tommy's mansion and takes out his cellphone and dials a number and puts it to his ear as he walks through the flowerbed and over onto the driveway and gets into his rented Solair and starts it up as he gets an answer.

 

CJ: Couldn' fine' 'em. I'ma head over there now, peace (Hangs the phone up and puts it away and pulls out of the driveway and continues driving foward).

January 18TH 2004: Vice City, Florida [5.05pm]

Tony skids his Cartel Cruiser to a stop outside of Escobar International Airport and he gets out with SMG in hand and runs inside and continues running through crowds of people until he reaches the the ticket desk and keeps his SMG tucked underneath his shirt.

 

Tony: I need two tickets to Carcer City on the earliest flight possible

 

Man: (Shoves Tony) The f*ck you think you're doin' just cuttin infront of me and everyone else like that, huh!?

 

Tony turns around and punches the guy in the nose, sending him reeling backwards into a crowd of people and to fall over shortly afterwards. Tony turns his attention back to the woman behind the desk and she brushes her hair out of her eyes and looks at Tony, with a disgusted look coating her face

 

Woman: Do you really think we're going to give you two tickets to Carcer City after that stunt you just pulled? Get outta here or get to the back of the--

 

Tony points his SMG inbetween her eyes and her eyes cross and look down at it and she begins panicing

 

Tony: Two tickets on the earliest flight, alright?

 

Security Officer: (Pulls his 9MM and gets down on one knee opposite Tony) Freeze and put your weapon--

 

Tony aims the SMG at the officer and shoots him in the chest, causing him to throw his gun in the air and fall backwards, and the woman gives Tony two tickets

 

Woman: T-t-the flight is for ten...

 

Tony nods his head and smiles then quickly runs out of the airport and gets back into the Cartel Cruiser and takes his phone out and dials Tommy

 

Tony: We're on for ten. Where are we gonna lay low til then?

 

Tommy (OS): I'm on my way back to my mansion. I've got something to take care of before we go anywhere

 

Tony: What!? (Hears the line go dead) sh*t! What the hell are you thinkin'!? (Starts the Cruiser up and speeds away).

January 18TH 2004: Vice City, Florida [5.18pm]

CJ is talking with a couple of young puertorican women inside of the Donut shop as he drinks a cup of coffee and his phone begins to ring. He takes it out and looks outside at all the army officials and tanks going by and he laughs as he answers it and puts it against his ear

 

Catalina (OS): C'mon! Where are jou!?

 

CJ: I'm just havin' a cuppa'coffee befo' I head over there. Relax, the streets are crowded wi' tha' army at the moment anyway. Nobodies goin' anywhere

 

Catalina (OS): We need to go and look for Vercetti!

 

CJ: Don' worry about it, what's tha rush baby? He ain' leavin' tha' city

 

Catalina (OS): As usual jou're still a f*cking sloth. Escobar International Airport has opened flights for a brief period of time! Think about it!

 

CJ: sh*t! I'd better cruise on over there an' check it out. I'm on it. (Hangs the phone up and finishes the coffee and throws it in the trashcan and walks outside) sh*t. All these f*ckin' army cats aroun' makin' me nervous. (Presses the unlock button on his car keys and the Solair beeps and he sees a Cartel Cruiser approaching in the distance) sh*t, one'a Cesar's goons mighta jus' been there scopin' it out (Takes his phone out again and dials it)

 

Catalina (OS): What now!?

 

CJ: One'a ya' cars is comin' from tha' airport. Figure he may'a checked it out already 'n foun' nothin'

 

Catalina (OS): ...I don't have any cars out at the moment...

 

CJ: What? (Looks at the Cruiser approaching fast) Oh sh*t!

 

CJ jumps out the way as the Cruiser drives right by where he was standing, and it skids to a stop and Tony looks out the window at CJ who's laying on the floor.

 

Tony: You want after me? Then I guess I should want after you aswell. You're slipping, Carl. I'm the good guy here, not you. Catch me, if you can that is (Pulls his head in and speeds away)

 

CJ: Mother f*cker! (Stands up and gets into his Solair and checks his cellphone and sees it's busted) Aww you wrecked ma' sh*t!

 

CJ speeds off after Tony's Cruiser in the distance, as Tony slows down and goes over the Starfish Island bridge, and CJ does the same and continues speeding after him, catching up quickly as the Solair is much faster than the Cruiser, and Tony sees Tommy in his Banshee upahead

 

Tony: (Rolls down the window and leans out and points to the Solair behind him and yells) Look who I found!

 

Tommy: (Watches Tony's Cruiser move aside and he sees CJ in the Solair and he quickly rams into the back of it, causing both he and CJ to skid as Tony slows down to a stop) Argh (Grabs his arm and sees a huge gash on it) f*ckin' car (Opens the door and gets out with a Stubby Shotgun in hand)

 

CJ: (Gets out of the car with a Tec9 in hand and starts firing at Tommy who fires back and he jumps over the wall of the mansion his car crashed by) Not ta'day, I ain' bein' trapped by sum' f*ckin' mafioso assholes! (Starts running through the Mansion grounds)

 

Tony: (Looks at the huge gash on Tommy's arm) sh*t, that looks painful. (Looks at Tommy's Banshee) Jesus, that sh*t is totaled. (Hands a plane ticket to Tommy) Come on, (Runs over to CJ's Solair and gets inside) there's no point in goin' after CJ and risking everything right now. It was worth a try though.

 

Tommy: No, I've gotta do something before we get outta here

 

Tony: sh*t, but CJ could be calling for his re-enforcements at any miniute, what the hell do you wanna do!?

 

Tommy: If I can't have that mansion, no one can. I've gotta blow the gas burner, so that whoever does take it dies in their f*ckin' sleep (Starts running over to the Mansion)

 

Tony: (Takes his cellphone out and begins driving down the Starfish Island bridge and dials Tommy) I didn't wanna say this incase CJ heard it. Meet me at the Ocean View hotel, alright?

 

Tommy: Got it! (Hangs the phone up) Smart thinking, going back there when everyone may think it's still swarming with Caribbeans. (Runs up the front of his steps).

January 18TH 2004: Vice City, Florida [6.26pm]

CJ arrives at the Mendez building inside of a Sabre he stole from Chee-Z's mansion and he quickly gets out and goes inside to see nobody at the reception desk. He rings the bell and a lady comes out of a closet and walks over to the reception desk and sits down and looks up at CJ and smiles

 

Woman: Welcome to Carlson Pharmaceuticals. How may I help you on this wonderful Vice City day, sir?

 

CJ: Cut tha' bullsh*t. I'm lookin' fo' Cesar, Catalina an' my brother Sweet. What floor they on?

 

Woman: Oh, (Drops the grin from her face) they left about twenty miniutes ago. If you're CJ, they said they were sick of waiting for your 'busta ass'

 

CJ: Aww hell! (Walks back outside of the Mendez building) Can't even f*ckin' call 'em cos I don' know Catalina or Cesar's number, an' Sweet didn't bring his phone! sh*t!

 

CJ gets back into the Sabre and slams his fist into the steering wheel.

 

CJ: sh*t! sh*t! sh*t!... Why's everything gotta be so fuct'up aroun' here. I go lookin' for 'em, an' when I fine' 'em, they got me flushed out like a rat

 

CJ starts the Sabre up and reverses out of the Mendez building parking lot and speeds through the alley next to it until he reaches the main road and continues going, as a Dark Red Manana reverses out of the parking lot CJ was just in and drives away.

 

---

 

January 18TH 2004: Vice City, Florida [7.07pm]

Tommy is speeding through Ocean Beach on a PCJ720 until he reaches the Ocean View hotel and sees CJ's Solair parked right infront of it and he begins to get angry and he goes inside to see Tony sitting at the bar with his SMG aimed firmly at the door

 

Tommy: What the hell are you thinking!? What if they came by here and they saw that!? They'd know it was you or me in here, wouldn't they!?

 

Tony: Well I got thinking on the way over, why not let them walk inside, and when they're inside, I'll be ready, like I am now

 

Tommy: That's a stupid idea. And you were the one who said it's not time to risk anything! (Starts slowing his breathing pattern down) Come on, we've gotta get to the airport

 

Tony: Right. (Follows Tommy out of the Ocean View hotel and into the Solair and Tony gets in the drivers seat and waits for Tommy to get in) Next stop, Carcer City.

 

Tommy: We've just gotta make it there within three hours, and there is army crawling all over the place looking for us, and-- f*ck!

 

Tony: What!? What is it!?

 

Tommy: When I put my Shotgun back in the cabinet in the office (Starts searching his pockets then looks at Tony) I left my ticket in the office!

 

Tony: You've gotta be kiddin' me. We've gotta go back to your mansion? It could be swarmed with army officials by now. Or worse...Colombian's

 

Tommy: (Turns the radio on and tunes it to Vice City Today) Listen out for anything on the Escobar Airport on the way back to the mansion

 

Tony: (Reverses the Solair and pulls away) I've got a bad feeling about this, man. You set the gas off in the place, right?

 

Tommy: Yeah... sh*t I did, I can't use anything. And if any Colombians are in there and they fire at me...I'm done for...

 

Army Report (OS): We've recieved confirmation from an unknown source of notorious gang warlord Tommy Vercetti's where-abouts and are sending a two hundred strong team on the way to his mansion right now, thanks to the once again genious work of Red.

 

Tony: You've gotta be kidding me. (Puts his foot on the gas pedal).

January 18TH 2004: Vice City, Florida [8.32pm]

Pedestrians are crowding around the wall of Tommy Vercetti's mansion, or rather, what's left of it as Army officials, and Police are making sure nobody runs through. Firefighters are trying desperatly to put the flames out, and they finally do, and recieve a cheer from the pedestrians by the mansion's walls. Red pushes past a few cops and walks over to the charred remains of the building, and begins looking around in the wreckage, careful of where he treads. He approaches two blackened bodies and kneels down and starts examining them, then stands up and turns around to a few Army officials that followed him over.

 

Red: Get these two down to a lab. I'll follow you over shortly.

 

---

 

January 19TH 2004: Vice City, Florida [12.04am]

CJ and Sweet both get into a Shamal stationed on the runway at Escobar International Airport and CJ slaps palms with Sweet and laughs with him and proceeds to put his luggage in the overhead storage compartment, and Sweet follows CJ through to the cockpit and CJ sits in the pilots chair as Sweet starts pouring them both a beer from a can into a glass. CJ puts the headset on and flicks two switches and a radio comes on.

 

CJ: This is flight CJ101 requesting clearance for take off from Escobar International Airport, over.

 

Voice (OS): Hey! You can't be in here, get outta here! Stop!

 

CJ: (Laughs as he hears static over the radio line) Too bad, mother f*ckuh'. We outta here. (Turns the radio off and takes the headset off)

 

Sweet: Tommy dea', onto Tony next, righ'?

 

CJ: Thas' righ', bro. Sit tight and we'll be back home before ya' know it

 

Sweet: Aiight, aiight. Any ideas where Tony fled to? Maybe Lib'aty City?

 

CJ: Nawh, I know exactly where his stupid ass is goin'. Gotta be London, think about it

 

Sweet: You shoul' become a detective or sumin' bruh'. Seriously, yo mind is constantly trippin wi' these theories that make perfec'sense

 

CJ and Sweet laugh and they mockingly toast each other as CJ controls the plane foward, and after a long run-up, it takes off into the nightsky, as Mark Mansell stands in the Radio Tower of Escobar International Airport with an M4 in one hand, and the M79 Grenade Launcher in the other hand, and he shoots the windows of the Radio Tower out and walks past the dead Radio Tower Controllers and picks up a two-way and presses the button on it, and CJ notices the Radio Light flashing.

 

CJ: sh*t, whadda' these clowns want now? (Presses the button) I tol' yo' punk-asses, we outta here!

 

Sweet: S'my brother! We'll turn this plane aroun' an' come back there fo' you if you keep this sh*t up!

 

CJ and Sweet laugh and Sweet slaps palms with CJ as they each take another lug of beer.

 

Mark (OS): Have a nice flight, CJ

 

CJ nervously looks at Sweet and Sweet nervously looks back as Mark hoists the M79 Grenade Launcher over his shoulder and takes aim at the plane in the closing distance of the sky, and fires a grenade at it, and it takes off into the sky and within the blink of an eye of it leaving the Grenade Launcher, it strikes the right wing of the plane, and the plane instantly explodes, and comes crashing down into the ground, where it explodes once again on impact. Mark drops the M79 Grenade Launcher and the M4 and walks out of the Radio Tower's main room and down the stairs onto the runway and walks over to a helipad and gets into a stationed chopper and starts it up, and takes off into the now pitch black sky as Air Ambulances and Medical staff begin rushing towards the flaming wreck of the Shamal just outside of Fort Baxter.

AFTERMATH

 

 

Chapter 51: Crimson Royale

October 15TH 2004: London, England [4.11pm]

Ten months ago, Julio Mendez was gunned down by Vincent Sean in the front of his mansion. Julio Mendez was rushed to a nearby hospital where he was deemed as "unstable", and he was shortly after noticed as the same Julio Mendez that has been rumoured to of been crime warlord of the underground circuits since the dawn of the millenium. January 24th, Julio Mendez awoke to find himself in a stable condition at Hell Mary's prison hospital.

 

After a few weeks of realizing he wasn't going to escape on his own, and sympathizers of the family's and countless bodies Julio had 'disposed' of over the years causing him nothing but bodily harm inside of the prison, it was time to cash in on Alan's favour: Worth four hundred thousand pounds to pay the debt off, Julio asked for Alan's help.

 

Claude, returning to England after learning Catalina was alive and well in Vice City helped Alan break Julio Mendez out of the prison. After arriving home, Julio stuck by his word and cleared all debts of both Alan's and his brother's. Julio Mendez and Christian Mendez, now on the same page, worked countless hours on finding the ghost that is Richard Patton, while Alan stuck around for the paycheques from Julio and Christian to do their business for them. Weeks past without results, and the weeks became months.

 

Claude, Woozie and Maria both left England in August to return home in Anywhere City, and Alan has been working closely with Christian to try and find Ryan Romani and his underground drug lab, which continued to push success and put Julio Mendez's cocaine ring completly out of business, or atleast reducing it to street corner selling. Terrance, still not revealing to anyone the true nature of Richard Patton, has also been putting in 'work' to find him.

 

Ten months on, the Mendez crime family are on their last legs, with police closing in on them somewhere in London, and nothing else going their way.

 

Alan: (Puts a notebook down and looks up at Terrance) Christian said what?

 

Terrance: Christian said he couldn't afford to keep us on the payroll anymore. Said that he and his dad are selling up and moving on to other things.

 

Alan: “Damnit, I was so close to figuring out where Tony, Mark and Jake were. Now I've got no money to pay for this sh*t.” ...Alright, whatever. It's not like I wanted to work with them forever.

 

Terrance: C'mon, i'll buy you a beer. You look like you could use one.

 

Alan stands up and follows Terrance out of the living room of Christian and Julio's mansion.

 

 

October 15TH 2004: Vice City, Florida [1.28pm]

After the death of Tommy Vercetti in Vice City, Florida, Mitch Baker and Kent Paul both made sure Tony's pregnant wife, Marci, was taken back to Carcer City, away from all the carnage that was sweeping the streets of Vice City.

 

After Tommy and Carlito, the head of the Caribbean Cartel were both blown to bits in Tommy's mansion, Tony escaped the city before it was too late, and boarded a one way fare to Carcer City.

 

Just a few hours after Tony's flight, CJ and Sweet, the two leaders of Grove Street Families were taking a flight out of Vice City after learning that “Tommy and someone else were both killed in his mansion.” Assuming it was both Tommy and Tony, their work in Vice City was finished. After losing a quick, heated battle with The Caribbean Cartel, Kane was finally put to rest when Damien Robina put a bullet inbetween his eyes. On the take off back to Los Santos, San Andreas, both CJ and Sweet met their ends at the hands of a Grove OG that they betrayed and left thinking he was dead in the hospital. That Grove OG was Mark Mansell, Tony's long time friend.

 

After meeting up with his brother, Mike in Vice City, Mark learned how to operate an M79 Grenade Launcher and patiently bided his time until it was time for CJ and Sweet to leave. He followed them, and when he saw them enter the airport, he knew it was time to gain his revenge on the people he trusted the most in the world.

 

Carlito turned on Damien after seeing him as 'useless' and ordered men to kill him. Damien survived and lead Tony and Tommy to Carlito's location, where Carlito shot Damien in the back, and left him for dead. Damien bled out over time and it was a few days before people discovered his body in the ruins of the Ocean View hotel, and he was flown to Liberty City, where the newly built pharmacies owned by The Zaibatsu healed him up, and he returned to Vice City to battle the now dominant gang in the city on his own, The Colombian Cartel.

 

The Colombian Cartel were the only gang left standing, being headed by Cesar and Catalina with the head of the organization, Julio Mendez, being arrested in England, they thought they were free to do what they pleased with it. They never heard from Julio again, until now.

 

Cesar: (Sitting with his feet on his desk flipping through a playboy magazine with a cigarette in his mouth hears the phone ringing and picks it up and answers it) Yeah?

 

Julio (OS): Jou haven't been making me nearly enough money over there, Cesar.

 

Cesar: (Sits upright and takes the cigarette from his mouth and clears his throat) Boss! I thought you were in prison, eh?

 

Julio (OS): I'm out. and I'm coming over there for a week to see how jou run things. If I'm not impressed, I find a new covering boss.

 

Cesar: Alright, I'll see you ina while...Boss.

 

The phoneline goes dead and Cesar takes his cellphone out of his pocket and dials it and puts it to his ear.

 

Cesar: ...Catalina, we got problems.

 

 

October 15TH 2004: Anywhere City, America [10.48pm]

Claude is speeding down the seemingly endless straight roads of Anywhere City with Woozie in the passenger seat. He takes a left through to Manhattan Way and goes through a tunnel until he comes out the other side, and the dark, dingy streets before them are now lit up. With beautiful girls in bikini's holding up torch lights, the enviornment feels like a new years parade is happening, and there are dozens of fast cars everywhere.

 

Claude stops the dark red Banshee he was driving and steps out with Woozie by his side. Claude is still wearing the brown leather jacket and jeans combo he was wearing in Vice City, except he's shaved his sideburns off and grown a mustache out. Woozie is wearing a black t-shirt and black pants, as a woman approaches them and smiles and stamps Claude's hand with a red ink tablet, reading 'Driver'.

 

Woman: (Winks at Claude) Goodluck out there, I'm sure you'll win again.

 

The woman walks away as Woozie laughs and turns to face Claude, who sits on the hood of the Banshee, pressing his heels into the floor making sure he doesn't slip down it.

 

Woozie: (Laughs) I can feel the atmosphere here, seems like it's gonna be an easy race for us once again.

 

A Japanese man of around thirty stands on top of a broken down schoolbus, the tires missing and the windows shot out, and he raises his arms.

 

Man: Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the Crimson Royale. If this is your first time competing in the Crimson Royale, odds are your car is going to be destroyed, maybe with you inside of it. (Waits for some laughter then continues and he looks down to Claude.) Two of our favourite racers are joining us once again, (Directs his open hand to Claude and Woozie.) Claude and Woozie have been racing in this thing since it began, and every one they've entered in they've placed first. Now, without further adieu, please return to your vehicles and start up and make your way to the start and finish line.

 

The man gets off of the bus and Claude follows Woozie around the Banshee and they both get back inside, and a White Infernus rolls past them and then a Dark Green Sabre rolls behind it, and Claude starts it up and follows them both to the start and finish line and him and Woozie patiently await the bikini's to hit the floor. A sky-blue Solair stops next to Claude and the racer looks at Claude and Woozie and rolls the window down.

 

Woozie: What's that smell? Oh, must be Mr. Rose himself.

 

Jason: (Leans over) That's Jason to you, Woozie. Hey, Claude, you seen how many new drivers there are today? Making me a little paranoid.

 

Claude nods his head then tightens his grip on the steering wheel as the women approach the start line.

 

 

October 15TH 2004: Anywhere City, America [11.10pm]

Claude makes a sharp right as a few cars trying to squeeze through the tight turning onto Lydell Street crash and burn out, rolling over and into the walls of the buildings on the street. Police are all over the place as Claude continues driving foward and Woozie is changing the radio stations. He stops on Head Radio as Claude makes another sharp right, this time he is cut up by the Dark Green Sabre that rolled past him earlier, and Claude swerves and maintains his balance and continues driving on, changing the radio with his left hand, and stopping on MSX FM.

 

Woozie: (Fiddles with a device in his ear) We're about three quarters to home and we're in second place.

 

Claude shifts gears and gains on the Dark Green Sabre as girls in bikini's are all around a grassy area. Claude is neck and neck to the Green Sabre as they go through the tall grass and continue racing. Claude comes out just infront and Woozie turns the wipers on and all the rain drenched grass is quickly shoved to the bottom of the windscreen. Claude takes a right onto Penn Way and continues gaining speed, as he approaches the tunnel that they first came through and Woozie laughs.

 

Woozie: Home free...

 

Claude and Woozie both grin as they approach the tunnel, and are both then over taken by the White Infernus that rolled past them earlier. The back of the Infernus' tire clipping Claude's bonnet, causing the Infernus to swerve a little bit and causing Claude to try and squeeze through the tunnel just a few feet from the Infernus, and Claude ends up scratching the door along the tunnel walls and he slows down, as the Dark Green Sabre becomes neck and neck with him, and Claude picks his speed up and begins catching up to the White Infernus, but is then clipped in the side by the Dark Green Sabre, causing him to swerve the steering wheel to try and maintain balance, and spin out of control as they exit the tunnel and flip onto their side. Woozie and Claude shield their faces as the car comes to a halt, still on its side.

 

Woozie: (Coughing) That was not cool, Claude.

 

The Banshee slowly rolls over back onto four wheels and Jason slams into the back of it in his sky-blue Solair, and Claude and Woozie are thrown in the seats, as the car spins around, and Jason's Solair begins flipping uncontrollably until it comes to a stop on it's roof, and Jason crawls out as Claude and Woozie both unstrap themselves and get out of the Banshee and they all move onto the sidelines.

 

Jason: What the hell happened to you guys? (Takes protective arm pads off and tosses them into the street).

 

Woozie: I think we got overtaken.

 

Jason: (Looks upahead and sees the White Infernus and Dark Green Sabre stopped just beyond the finish line.) Hmm, yep. Two cars.

 

They approach the finish line on foot and walk through as other cars are coming through it and the Japanese man from earlier walks over to the White Infernus and knocks on the black tinted windows.

 

Man: Congradulations...

 

Tony steps out of the White Infernus, wearing a black leather coat and ripped dark blue jeans and Mark steps out of the Dark Green Sabre, sporting a black hooded sweat-shirt and jeans, and Mark slams the door and walks over to Tony and the Japanese man.

 

Mark: Man, that busta in tha' Banshee was tryin' ta' throw me, I swear. Wudda won if not f' him.

 

Tony smiles and the Japanese man hands him a thick wad of cash and raises his hand as the winner, and everyone cheers.

 

Man: We have a winner, and it looks like he's a new face in these parts. (Leans in.) What's your name?

 

Tony: Tony. (Laughs while counting the money).

 

Man: His name is Tony, and we hope to see more of you around these parts. (Looks at Mark.) You too. (Hands Mark some Pink Slips).

 

Mark: (Looking through them) Man, I got alotta garbage by tha' looks of sh*t.

 

Claude approaches Tony who has his back turned to him, and Claude taps him on the shoulder, and Tony puts the money in his black coat pocket and turns around, still with a grin on his face, and he looks Claude in the eyes, then lets out a silent laugh.

 

Tony: You again? I didn't know ghosts could--

 

Claude throws a punch at Tony and catches him in the jaw, sending him falling to the ground and Mark walks over and shoves Claude, and Jason shoves Mark back and everyone begins trying to split them up as Tony stands up and continues laughing, much louder now, almost cocky.

 

Tony: I'm just kiddin'. I saw you in the Banshee and knew what I had to do. After all, you're still an asshole in my books, Claude.

 

Claude lunges at Tony and Tony steps back and people continue to hold Claude back and Tony wipes the smile from his face.

 

Tony: You're pissed at me mother f*cker? I should be pissed at you and that bitch ass whore of yours, that Colombian Cartel bitch. Do you even remember why I shot you down? It wasn't because you were working with the enemy. Take a cold hard look at my face and take away about four years and shorten the hair and lose the facial hair.

 

Claude calms down and looks at Tony in the eyes for about ten seconds before he realizes that he was the guy Catalina blackmailed four years ago.

 

Tony: (Sees Claude's eyes lose focus and watches Claude turn around and start walking away as Woozie stands looking confused.) Yeah, now run along to that junk-heap of a car you've got left. I've gotta go see my wife and daughter - and when she grows older, maybe you can be the one to explain to her why she doesn't have a grandfather.

 

Tony gets back into his White Infernus as Mark stands around selling the pinkslips back to racers. Tony reverses and picks up his speed and speeds past Claude and Woozie and back through the tunnel on his way to the airport, as Mark finishes selling up and he pockets the cash he made and gets back into the Dark Green Sabre and begins following Tony towards Anywhere Syndicate Airport, as Claude and Woozie get back into the Banshee, and Claude sighs and starts the Banshee up, Woozie not saying a word, and drives away.

 

 

October 20TH 2004: London, England [1.54pm]

Reporter: We're sorry to interupt your regular broadcasting, but we have just recieved word from General Lewis that they have seized notorious crimelord Ryan Romani's underground 'drug base'. Used to make cocaine and many other narcotics, this has baffled police and the FBI for years, until today. Today will go down in stone, and today will go down in history, as--

 

Christian: (His eyes light up and he turns the volume up and looks at a Mendez goon.) Go and phone Alan! And my Dad!

 

Reporter: ...First, the druglab was found underneath the football stadium grounds in New Stanford around noon earlier. Ryan Romani himself was not caught, but around thirty 'workers' were arrested without bail and were taken directly to prison and they await trial for tomorrow. It is believed Ryan Romani is travelling through London right now, and has another two or maybe three bases spread throughout London. Today was a victory for everyone here in New Stanford.

 

Christian: (Stands up when the Mendez goon comes back in.) Well?

 

Mendez Goon: Alan's on his way over, eh? Jour father couldn' be reached. Went through to his answer phone.

 

Christian: Alright. (Takes the phone from the Mendez goon.) I'll try again in a bit. Take everyone you've got and find Ryan Romani. He's above ground.

 

Mendez Goon: Got it, boss!

 

Christian: (Dials a number on the phone and puts the reciever to his ear.) ...Come on!

 

Julio (OS): Jou've reached Julio Mendez. Leave a message.

 

Christian: (Puts the phone down) sh*t. Could be the reception he's getting out there in Vice City I guess. Patience, patience. (Sits back on the couch and lines up some coke on the table).

Chapter 52: Last Requests

October 20TH 2004: Vice City, Florida [3.12pm]

A Maverick is circling above the Helipad at the airport as it begins coming in for landing. When it lands and the blades come to an ease, the door is opened, and Tony steps out with his wife following behind him carrying their baby daughter which is crying from the tremendous heatwaves in Vice City. Tony wipes the sweat from his forehead and takes out his phone as they step down from the Helipad, and then Mark steps out of the chopper and slams the door shut and follows them down.

 

Tony: Yeah, stall them. It was a long flight over. I'll be there as soon as I can, alright?

 

Tony hangs the phone up and waits for Marci and Mark to catch him up and they walk through to the outside, and they get into a Cúzo Taxi parked outside the entrance gate.

 

Tony: (Slams his door, waking the Taxi Driver up) Prawn Island. And hurry it up.

 

Taxi Driver: Si, señor.

 

 

October 20TH 2004: Vice City, Florida [4.53pm]

Julio Mendez exits the airport, getting laughs from the teenage girls and guys around the place for wearing a cream silk shirt with brown flowers on it, along with white pants and white leather shoes. His hair has been combed over to hide the huge bald patch on his head, and he's sweating profusely. He unbuttons the top two buttons on the silk shirt to let some air vent through his upper half, which gains even more laughs from people, and he gets into a Cúzo Taxi, slamming the door behind him, waking the driver up.

 

Julio: (Gives the Taxi Driver the address to the Mendez Building) Take me there, and be quick.

 

Taxi Driver: Si, señor.

 

 

October 20TH 2004: Vice City, Florida [4.55pm]

Mark is sitting on the porch of Tony's mansion on Prawn Island, smoking a cigarette and watching the cars go by through the dead plants in the flower bed. Tony comes out of the house with a disapointed look on his face and he sits down next to Mark, and Mark offers him a cigarette and he declines.

 

Mark: So, I take it tha' house ain' gettin' sold then?

 

Tony: Nah. The buyers backed out at the last minute after the stupid asshole tourguide told them of the history inside the place. I need to quit hiring him

 

Mark: (Laughs) Back ta' Carcer?

 

Tony: And live in that pile of sh*t apartment, brown smoke coming through the cracks in the window at night? Nah, had it with that dump. No place for a baby to live

 

Mark: Aiight, where you goin' then?

 

Tony: Maybe it's just time to go home, you know, back to London, with my family. I know for a fact that they miss me, and it'd be nice for Marci and Videl

 

Mark: How much money ya' got saved up now? 'Bout three hundred grand?

 

Tony: (Counts on his fingers) Maybe a little more. You wanna come along? Houses over there are expensive but I'm sure I can put you up for a bit

 

Mark: Nawh (Puts the cigarette out) I think it's time ta' go home fo' me aswell. Back ta' Los Santos

 

Tony: 'Chu gotta deal with down there now? Grove's outta the picture. Ballas?

 

Mark: Nawh. No one. Ballas are history. Vagos are history. Every gang doesn't touch Los Santos in this day an' age. S'all in here now, Vice. Figured I'd swing by Mike's place and see how he's getting on since it's been a while since I heard from him. You wanna swing over there real quick?

 

Tony: Yeah, sure. Marci's alright on her own for a bit with Videl back at the Motel. (Stands up along with Mark and begins walking).

 

 

October 20TH 2004: Vice City, Florida [5.20pm]

Julio Mendez steps out of the back of the Taxi and enters the Mendez building and the receptionist recognizes him and stands up and offers a handshake and smiles at him, as Julio smiles back and shakes her hand and makes his way up to Cesar's office and knocks on the door, and Cesar opens the door and smiles at Julio then proceeds to hug him as Julio doesn't return the favour.

 

Cesar: Aww c'mon, (Steps back) we're like family. You gonna be this cold to me, esé?

 

Julio: Jou know so. C'mon, jou wanna get in my goodbooks, you can buy me dinner. Where's a good place to eat out here, eh?

 

Cesar: What'chu in the mood for?

 

Julio: Pizza

 

Cesar: Well sh*t! If the boss wants pizza, then the boss gets pizza. Come on (Walks out of the office and leads Julio back down to the stairs)

 

Julio: (Wipes the sweat from his forehead) Is it always this hot out here or is it just today?

 

Cesar: Nah, holmes. It's always this hot. (Continues walking down until they reach the bottom floor and walks out the front door with Julio behind him) S'just a few blocks from here, eh? (Walks over to a Cartel Cruiser and gets inside as Julio follows)

 

Julio: They got Pepperoni?

 

Cesar: (Laughs and starts the Cruiser up and pulls away) Of course they've got Pepperoni. Slices the size of a football, holmes.

 

 

October 20TH 2004: Vice City, Florida [5.37pm]

Mark stops outside of a small two story building and begins breathing heavily and wiping the sweat from out of his eyes and off his forehead as Tony waits around for him to finish. Mark stands upright and leads Tony into the building, which has the sign 'Mike's Pizzashack' above the door. They walk past the tables, looking at people talking happily and eating pizza and go through to the back and see Mike doing taxes with glasses on. He looks up at Mark and smiles and stands up.

 

Mark: (Walks over and hugs Mike) How you doin' bro?

 

Mike: I'm excellent. Business has never been better. (Pulls away and looks Mark over) You look good. You been working out? You're lookin' ripped, dude

 

Mark: (Laughs) No more than usual. Y'know, Carcer City's got alotta gyms aroun' tha' place. (Looks round at Tony and Tony walks foward) Ya remembuh' Tony?

 

Mike: Yeah, of course (Shakes his hand) How've you been? Haven't seen you since... ah yeah, '96, I think...

 

Tony: Sounds about right.

 

Mike: (Smiles) Well I tell a lie, I've seen you plenty of times. On the news 'n sh*t (Laughs)

 

Tony: (Nervously laughs) Heh.. yeah.. I'ma go grab some pizza. Hungry. (Walks out of the back room and walks over to the pizza's behind the glass container and licks his lips) Jesus, that slice of Pepperoni looks incredible. It's the size of damn arm. (Looks up at the counter jockey) Gimme that Pepperoni right there. (Takes his wallet out).

 

 

October 20TH 2004: Vice City, Florida [5.44pm]

Cesar stops the Cruiser outside of a small two story building with a 'Mike's Pizzashack' sign above the door. Cesar and Julio both step out of the Cruiser and Julio's stomach growls and Cesar looks at him and laughs as they go inside.

 

Cesar: Trust me, holmes. This place is amazing for pizza. (Walks past Tony sitting in a booth eating a slice of Pepperoni pizza, but he's looking at Julio, talking, and Tony's busy reading a magazine, eating his pizza slice) You wanna grab a booth and I'll pay, eh?

 

Julio: No, I wanna pick my own slice out. I don't trust jou or anyone else to get my pizza for me. Jou got it? (Approaches the counter and looks at the counter jockey and wipes the sweat dripping from his chin) Gimme a slice of Pepperoni!

 

Counter Boy: We just sold out our last slice of Pepperoni. We've got tons of Ham & Pineapple left, though.

 

Julio: Jou mother f*cker, nobody likes that sh*t. Ham & Pineapple is for weak losers who can't handle the spicey taste of 'deh Pepperoni. Now cook me up sum' Pepperoni!

 

Counter Boy: (Looks at Cesar who looks nervous) Hey, you're usually in here always eating Ham & Pineapple. You want some Ham & Pineapple?

 

Cesar: (Snaps) I don't f*ckin' eat that sh*t, esé! I'm always in here eating Pepperoni damnit. f*ckin' got a problem with Cesar Vialpando, esé!? (Pulls a 9MM from the belt behind his back and aims it at the counter jockey's head as people begin panicing) Now get us sum' f*ckin' Pepperoni 'n sh*t is cool!

 

Tony: (Stands up and looks at Cesar Vialpando and Julio Mendez over at the counter) "What the f*ck is he doing here?" (Stays low and creeps under tables of shocked pedestrians who are too nervous to continue eating and pops up the other side and goes through the back door and stands up straight looking at Mark and Mike) We've got a slight problem. You keep a gun in this place? Because we've got company.

 

Mike: sh*t, not another robbery. (Stands up and walks over to a desk and opens the draw, taking out a 9MM pistol and tossing it to Tony) Make sure they don't get the takin's.

 

Tony walks through the back door with the pistol aimed infront of him and he looks at Cesar and Julio, and Julio notices him and quickly ducks as Cesar looks down at Julio.

 

Cesar: What'chu doin', Julio?

 

Cesar looks up at Tony with gun in hand and Cesar quickly tries to aim the pistol away from the counter jockey and to Tony but Tony shoots him in the chest, and Cesar throws the gun in the air and falls on his back and Julio grabs the gun and begins crawling under tables as Tony walks around looking for him.

 

Tony: (Stops by Cesar and looks at him moving around in pain and stands on his chest, his foot pushing down on the bullet hole) How do you know Julio Mendez?

 

Cesar: (Coughing) sh*t, like I'd tell you. I thought you died!

 

Tony: Well I didn't, obviously. Now, tell me how you know Julio Mendez. Is he your brother? A cousin? I think you've got about fifteen minutes to get to a hospital before the point of no return, so instead of being a wise ass, start talking.

 

Cesar: Alright, alright, f*ck. He's my boss. The head honcho. The Colombian Cartel is under his thumb, eh?

 

Tony: (Watches Julio stand up and run towards the door and fires at him and clips him in the arm and stumble out the door) Mother f*cker...

 

Tony begins walking after Julio and Cesar grabs ahold of his leg as Mark and Mike come out and look down at Cesar holding onto Tony's leg, and Mark laughs at him.

 

Tony: (Turns around, anger covering his face and points the pistol at Cesar's head, his hand shaking from anger) I gave you... two chances. Two chances... to live.

 

Tony shoots Cesar point-blank in the face, and his legs begin quivering and then his body goes limp, and the empty shell lands on the ground next to Cesar's head, and blood soon covers it. Mark slaps palms with Mike and hugs him as pedestrians run out the Pizzashack screaming in horror.

 

Mark: I'ma head back home, aiight? I'll call you when I get there. Have fun cleanin' his ass up.

 

Tony: (Runs over to the door and looks out and doesn't see Julio anywhere) Damnit! (Slams the gun into the floor with such force it breaks).

 

 

October 20TH 2004: Vice City, Florida [6.22pm]

The sun is beginning to set in the warm sky and Julio Mendez is hiding out in the top floor of the Mendez building, paranoidly looking down at everyone below on the streets and he takes his phone out and sees it's turned off and he turns it on and sees he's missed tons of calls. He dials a number and puts the phone to his ear.

 

Julio: (Awaits an answer) ....Christian, jou gotta help me! That Tony Zimmzy kid 'dat Alan was lookin' for just killed Cesar and he's after me next!

 

Christian (OS): sh*t! You've gotta be kiddin' me, pops. Did you get any of my messages?

 

Julio: Yeah but I ain' listened to 'em yet. What could be more important than this?!

 

Christian (OS): At mid-day, Ryan Romani's druglab in New Stanford was discovered, then a few hours ago one in London was aswell, and he's traveling above ground.

 

Julio: Damnit! I've gotta get back out to London, but how can I with this maniac all over my ass!?

 

Christian (OS): Where was Catalina in all of 'dis?

 

Julio: ...sh*t! I'd better call her, tell her what happened, get her to fly me back out to England, eh? Alright, I'll call jou later, son. (Hangs up)

 

Julio peeks over the window frame nervously looking down below at all the small figures down there. He re-dials his phone and puts it to his ear as he wipes the sweat from underneath is clamy eyes and awaits an answer.

 

Catalina (OS): Jeah?

 

Julio: Catalina, it's Julio. Listen, I've gotta talk to jou in person. Get over to the Mendez building as fast as you can. It's important!

 

Catalina (OS): Yes, boss.

 

Julio hangs the phone up and continues looking down below at all the people and cars going by. His eyes shifting from side to side, from person to person as he looks for Tony.

 

 

October 20TH 2004: Vice City, Florida [6.29pm]

Tony walks through a run down motel and stops by a purple door and bangs on it a few times and Marci opens it with Videl in her arms and Tony walks inside as Marci closes the door with her foot and Tony wipes the sweat pouring from his forehead out of his eyes and starts packing everything back into the suitcases they brung over.

 

Marci: We're going back so soon? What's wrong?

 

Tony: Julio Mendez is the head of The Colombian Cartel. (Looks at Marci and laughs with a sadistic tone in his voice) We're going to England, home!

 

Marci: (Shakes her head and becomes hysterical) No, I don't want you caught up in this stuff again. I was fine with the occasional racing in a few cities here and there...but...

 

Tony: Don't worry. I'm not gonna die on you. (Stands up and hugs her, looking down at Videl) I'm gonna beat Mendez to England and go after his son. And I think it's about time you met my parents...

 

Marci: I've got a really bad feeling about this, Tony...

 

Tony: Mendez's operation is a joke. Believe me, all I have to do is go in using the security code they gave me. When I'm in, I'm in. I send a message to Julio and that bitch who murdered your father that's hiding somewhere.

 

Marci: (Starts rocking Videl in her arms) Alright. But I don't want you going this alone. Is there anybody you can call up?

 

Tony: Nope, everyone's dead. If you want Catalina dead, you've gotta trust me on this.

 

Marci: I want Catalina dead, but I also want you alive. I trust you to an extent, but you've gotta do what you've gotta do...

 

Tony smiles at Marci, who looks on biting her lip and rocking the baby as Tony packs the rest of the bags up.

[KillaCalli]

nice chapter Zimmzy.. the end of the chapter was suspenseful.

Chapter 53: Where The Heart Is

October 21ST 2004: London, England [3.44pm]

Alan is sitting inside of Julio's mansion in a pair of baggy blue jeans and a teal t-shirt tapping his left foot on the wooden floor as his brother sits patiently next to him in a brown shirt and black trousers with a smile on his face as Christian is wandering back and forth in a black suit and the doorbell rings and Christian runs out into the hallway and opens the door, where Julio Mendez is standing with Catalina and a dozen Colombian Cartel members. Christian smiles and hugs his dad and Julio walks inside with Catalina and the Colombian Cartel members following suit.

 

Julio: Update me, eh?

 

Christian: Ryan Romani's still above ground. We've got everyone we can looking for him.

 

Julio: And Vincent Sean?

 

Christian: No updates on him since you left, pop. (Walks through to the lounge and Terrance stands up and hugs Julio while Alan remains seated and Christian's cellphone rings) Huh? Hold on a sec, dad. (Takes it out and puts it to his ear) Yeah?

 

Christian walks through the living room and into the kitchen as Julio sits down and sees a line of Christian's cocaine on the table and he picks up the straw beside it and snorts it in one, and rubs his nose as Catalina sits on the wooden chair across from Alan and Terrance and her men remain at the entrance of the living room.

 

Catalina: So, jou're Alan, (Looks at Alan) and jou're Terrance. (Looks at Terrance) Jou don' look so tough.

 

Julio: Believe me, if anyone can take Ryan Romani down, it'll be them

 

Catalina: Err, excuse me? I have just as much power to take down some pendejo Romani pussy as these two clowns. (Gives off a dirty look to Alan, like something you'd find on the bottom of your shoe, then looks back over to Julio) So when are jou going to tell me exactly what happened to my cousin?

 

Julio: Soon, soon. (Does another line of coke as Christian comes back into the living room)

 

Christian: One of our men said he tailed Ryan Romani from the Motel Seven and he tried to take him out, but he got shot in the leg and couldn't continue after him.

 

Catalina: Bah! Pussy. Come on, me and these two clowns here, (Looks at Alan and Terrance) we'll go find him. (Looks at her men) All of jou go out lookin' for him aswell!

 

Julio takes a photo out from his silk shirt pocket of Ryan Romani and hands it to one of the Cartel members and he nods his head and leads them all away.

 

Catalina: So, what's jour preference? Jou want to drive?

 

Terrance: (Stands up) Yeah, I'll drive

 

Alan stands up and follows Terrance and Catalina out through the front door and they get into a parked Dark Red Patriot and speed away, as Christian watches from the blinds inside of the mansion, and he turns around and faces his father when they leave.

 

Christian: So, Tony Zimmzy was in Vice City? Seems a little strange that Cesar and Catalina had no troubles in Vice City for almost an entire year running product drills.

 

Julio: I don't know, son. But I've never felt that scared in my life. I felt so f*ckin' helpless in that pizza place, I was trembling when I saw him, eh?

 

Christian: Atleast now we know exactly where he is, and we can work around Alan and take him out of the picture, using the Cartel as the distraction.

 

Julio: No. I'm tired of going around Alan to find him. It's time to see where his loyalty is. We'll get Alan to take him out. But first, we've gotta pounce on Romani as he's at his weakest right now, and jou shoul' probaly go look for him aswell.

 

Christian smirks and walks away towards the door as Julio does another line of coke.

 

 

October 21ST 2004: London, England [4.04pm]

A black Taxi stops outside of a nice, large estate in a clean neighborhood; the flowers in the bushes are still blooming although winter has come around. Tony pays the Taxi driver and he steps out of the Taxi with Marci following closely behind carrying Videl. They walk along the driveway and Tony looks up at the large house and smiles as he approaches the white door and puts the suitcases down and rings the doorbell and after a few moments, a silver haired woman in a light blue shirt and jeans answers.

 

Tony: (Stares blankly into her) ...You're not my mother.

 

Woman: Can I help you?

 

Tony: What happened to the Zimmzy's? They lived here for like 50 years, where'd they go?

 

Woman: Oh, I'm sorry. I really don't know. Would you both like to come in and you could phone somebody? Anybody?

 

Tony: Uh, no... No, that's okay. Thank you for your help anyway... (Picks up the suitcases and turns around, walking back down the driveway with Marci) I can't believe they'd just move. My grandpa built that house with his bare hands and said he'd die in that house.

 

Marci: So where are we going to go now? Another motel?

 

Tony: I guess so. Listen, you go on ahead and call me when you find a good one. I've got some stuff to take care of. (Kisses her cheek and begins to run away)

 

Tony jumps over a small hedge and continues running until he sees a black Taxi and he jumps out infront of it and the driver sharply stops. Tony runs around the side and yanks the back door open and gets into the back.

 

Tony: Drop me off at the 'square.

 

Taxi Driver: You got it, psycho.

 

 

October 21ST 2004: London, England [4.20pm]

Ryan Romani is sitting in a café drinking a cup of coffee with bags under his eyes and he's wearing a large olive coloured jacket and ripped jeans, and he hears police go by outside and he ducks down into his seat. His hand trembles as he picks the cup of coffee up and takes a sip then stands up when he hears all the police speed by and runs towards the door.

 

Café Worker: Hey! You can't just take that!

 

Ryan pulls out a 9MM and snaps. He shoots the café worker in the head as pedestrians in the café scream when her body hits the floor, and Ryan continues running outside and he sees a parked Perennial and walks over to it, cautiously looking around as sirens are heard in the distance and he punches a hole in the window and his hand begins bleeding, heavily, as he unlocks the door and gets inside and bends down and proceeds to hotwire the car and he gets it started and shifts into first gear and speeds around the corner only to see a dozen police cars coming his way. He reverses and starts speeding away in the other direction and the cop cars begin trying to pivot him.

 

 

October 21ST 2004: London, England [4.26pm]

The Taxi Tony is in comes to a stop in the middle of town, and he gets out and closes the door and pays the driver through the front window and the Taxi pulls away as Tony looks around at all the shops, and he runs through the busy town until he reaches the Information Centre, located dead in the middle of town, and he goes inside.

 

Tony: (Walks up to the counter and presses the bell, as a middle aged woman looks up at him) You got a phonebook in this place? I've gotta make a call or two...

 

Woman: (Coughs) Well, there are a few around back in the Phone section. Why don't you check there next time?

 

Tony: Asshole, this is an Information Centre. You give me Information first. (Walks around the back and picks up a large yellow phone book from a rack and throws it on a table and pulls a phone over and flips the book open and starts looking through it under the Z's. He runs his finger down it until he reaches 'Zimmzy, Gerald', but it's the same address he was just at. He notices his sister's name is at a new address so he picks up the phone and dials).

 

Woman (OS): Hello?

 

Tony: Hey, this might sound a little strange but...are you my sister?

 

Woman (OS): What? Who is this? Is this another one of those prank calls? Leave us alone already!

 

Tony: No. My name is Tony Zimmzy. I'm looking for Susanna Zimmzy. Are you her or not?

 

Susanna (OS): Tony? Why the hell haven't you called in like...ten friggin' years!? Everyone figured you were long dead.

 

Tony: I dunno, but listen; where did mum & dad move to?

 

Susana (OS): They haven't moved anywhere, they've been in the same place for the past nine months. I went over there this morning...

 

Tony: Where abouts are they?...

 

 

October 21ST 2004: London, England [4.34pm]

Reporter: Breaking News! We interupt your regular broadcasted televised programming to bring you a special update on the Ryan Romani case.

 

A helicopter above the Perennial is filming it driving around London with cop cars all over the back of it as the camera comes back to the news studio, with the video footage in the right corner of the screen.

 

Reporter: We will be giving you live updates here as they happen...

 

Julio: (Quickly stands up and picks the phone up from the glass table and dials it) Come on! Damn jou!

 

Terrance (OS): What's up, boss?

 

Julio: Turn jour radio on! Ryan's being chased by 'deh cops on 'deh news right now! Jou've gotta make sure jou get him before 'deh cops do! I don't want his base being operated while he's on the inside! Jou've gotta get him, Terrance!

 

Julio hangs the phone up and sits back on the chair with his elbows tensly placed on his knees and his knuckles digging into his chin, looking at the TV footage.

 

 

October 21ST 2004: London, England [4.56pm]

The Dark Red Patriot containing Catalina, Alan and Terrance is approaching the cop cars in the distance, as Ryan Romani is still on the run from the cops, and Cartel Cruisers begin catching up with the Dark Red Patriot as Catalina is constantly on the phone with Cartel members trying to guide them to the location, and telling them to turn the radio in their cars over to 98.5 or 104.4. They all soon catch up with the police cars and there are now three helicopters over Ryan Romani's car, and Cartel members begin leaning out of their Cruisers and firing up at the news chopper, and the two police helicopters begin firing back down to them, and they hit a Cartel member and he rolls out of the open window and rolls along the bridge and is run over by a Cartel Cruiser shortly behind him.

 

Camera Man: I'm getting nervous up here! Nobody said this would happen!

 

Pilot: (Yells) Shut up, rookie. Nothing's gonna happen to us, you know all this crap is just for show right? Nobody ever dies in this stuff, it's just stuff to scare kids. Good guys like us don't die.

 

Catalina and Alan both lean out of the Dark Red Patriot and begin firing at the news chopper, and it begins spiraling downwards and explodes on the bridge behind them.

 

Terrance: (Yells to Catalina and Alan) He's heading over to New Stanford! I thought he only had one base in New Stanford!

 

Alan: (Yells inside while still shooting up at the police choppers) Does it matter!? He's on the run from dozens of cops. I don't think he cares where he's going right now!

 

Catalina, Alan and the other Cartel members continue firing at the two police choppers until they're taken down, and then they move onto taking down the squad cars infront of them.

 

 

October 21ST 2004: London, England [5.35pm]

The sky is almost pitch black already and Tony is standing next to a black haired woman who's in a fluffy brown coat and jeans. Tony is wearing a light blue hawaiian shirt, much like Tommy's and dark blue jeans and the hair on his arms stand on end as he stands above two tombstones in the graveyard of the Vatican Street Church, most of which still has construction sites around it.

 

Susanna: They were both killed in some freak car explosion. The reports said it was an accident, but it was blatently gang related.

 

Tony: Can't believe this... I saw dad only a while back and he was doing completly fine.

 

Susanna: Well now you know. (Cradles a crying baby in her arms) I've gotta get back home and take care of my kids. You're welcome to stop by.

 

Tony: Yeah, maybe later...

 

Susanna walks away as Tony stands above his parents' graves, and a piercing wind causes his skin to tingle as he walks through the graveyard, looking up at the stars in the sky.

 

Tony: "Is it true what you said? Am I really going to get too deep into this to get out?"

All I can say is: WOW!

 

Seriously, dude, this is fricken awesome! I've only read the first chapter but I like what I've read so far and will definitely catch up.

 

It's written extremely well and I love the original characters.
