CHAPTER 3: CJ

Geoff

He climbed up to a random level, looked at the wall through the vent opening. It said 24. Someone was around the corner. They were talking.

"Yeah, they think he's on level 9 or 10." someone aid.

"Oh. I hope that"

"What's going on?" Someone with a deeper voice asked.

"We…"

"John isn't paying you to stand around, he could be on any of these levels!"

"Yes, sir."

The conversation stopped. A commando walked by, Geoff could hear the foot steps of people checking the area, someone came to the vent. He looked up to it. Geoff could hear his breathing.

"He's here! Son of a Bitch is in the vent!" Geoff shot him with his pistol, blood splattered into the vent, his body in front of it.

"Will! We're under fire! We're taking casualties, he's right under you!" said the other guy.

"Where is he?"

"Floor 24, in the vent!"

"Get the assault teams down there!"

Geoff was shooting them off, wile slowly crawling back. A grenade rolled into the front of ventilation cover, exploding, causing the ground to cave, the part of the vent fell through the next level.

Geoff got up, covered in dust, he ran towards the opposite side of the elevators. An assault tame came down the stairs, There was a brief fire exchange. Geoff was now at the other side of the building, he could see over San Fierro through the windows. The room turned gray, a smoke grenade had been thrown.

It was now just blind fire. Geoff fired in and heard some screams, in less than a second, bullet holes appears all around Geoff, he fell back, shattering the glass. On the 23rd level, he grabbed onto the 13th level's fire escape, he swung up, and hit the next level, then fell to the balcony of his level, the wind knocked out of him.

Back up on level 23, the smoke had cleared. There was nothing but some blood, and shattered window panes.

"He fell off." On said.

"Lets go tell John the good news."

A while later, he woke up. It was 9:57 a.m. Why weren't the army and cops coming? It didn't make sense. He needed to find out why. He climbed into a window. There was radio chatter around the corner.

"Well, I want you back up here, on 34, we don't have enough guards for…"

"What was that sir?"

"Never mind."

A man walked off. Geoff got into the vents, and climbed down to level 8. All of the bodies were gone. Just a really messed up room was left. He looked over the papers. Nothing. He had to find those hostages. One paper, looked like brain storming, said "Hostages on floors above 30," and that was about as good as he could find. He climbed up to level 30.

Looking in, he could only see guards. So he left, and went to 31, repeating this process, until he reached 33. A guard walked in front of him, he crawled out, kicked the back of his knee, and took him with his knife by the neck.

"Where are the hostages?" Geoff questioned him.

"Above… You can't-" He sliced the guards neck.

Geoff climbed up, looking at the hostages on each floor. Nick was on floor 36. He crawled in the ventilation, under the floor, and came up on the east side, the elevators and stairs to the south. There were only two bombers.

There were so many hostages around, that he could crawl, and not be seen.

"Sspht! Nick!" Geoff whispered

"Geoff…"

"I can get you out, ask to go to the bathroom, I'll get you out!"

When Geoff crawled back, he saw a black man crawl into the vent, when no one was watching, they both went to the elevator shaft.

"Hey, who are you?"

"CJ…"

"Well, are you good with a gun?"

"For sure."

"Here," He hands him an MP5, "I'm going to save my friend, create a diversion!"

They both crawled back into the vent. Geoff got out near the hostages, CJ banged under the ground.

People said things like, "What is that?" and "did they kill that guy?" and "Fin out what that is. The guards were distracted. He snuck to the bathroom, and snapped the guards neck, without a sound. He drug it into the bathroom.

"Come on! Nick, we have to go!"

They quickly walked back to the vent, the guards were getting po'd, they snuck out, then called off CJ, and now they were all in the shaft.

There was a loud noise as an elevator came down.

"Hey, we need to save the hostages!" said Geoff.

"No way man, I'm getting outta here!" said CJ/

"Yeah, I'm with him!" replied Nick.

"No, the entrance is boarded up, they have over 280 pounds of explosives down there. We need to save the hostages, I don't want anything to happen to them!

"Yeah… I guess you right… Where now?" asked CJ.

"Pick a floor… We need ammo."

"Uh… 29."

"Well, let's get going." Geoff and CJ, had MP5's, Nick had a pistol. They climbed down to floor 29.
