Slamming the doors to their white van shut the two mechanics walked over to Tego who had already put his mask on, glancing inside of the vehicle the two mechanics knew it would be the last time they would use it. Santos leaned inside to make sure their surprise was well hidden in case someone happened to stop the crew from breaking into the Paleto Bank, "You're all good to go. The guns are loaded up and our special surprise is in here just in case something goes wrong. We'll have the speed boat waiting at the docks, once you make it to us we'll leave these corrupt cops behind. Just in case you need any back up I'll have Inferno use one of the vantage points that Twilight took a picture of as a snipping position." Giving his friend a nod the Puerto Rican crew member gave his two friends a fist bump before driving off down the dirt road that was located near the railroad tracks. Turning the steering wheel to the right the drive soon turned to the left so he could use the road that led directly to the Paleto Bank, glancing over his shoulder he could see Leo and Twilight sitting in the back of the van holding the M134 Mini Gun in one place to keep it from sliding around. Turning his attention back to the road the male blader knew that Annie had picked a location far enough away from the bank that would allow her to keep an eye on the cops as well as the three crew members. Pressing the gas pedal a bit further down the Puerto Rican blader turned to the left to see the bank outside his window, coming to a stop just outside the bank the driver looked over at the crew to make sure they were ready to go through with the mission.

With each person sliding their ski mask over their face the driver nodded and quickly got out of the van while Rico tossed him his gun. Running over to the double doors of the bank the two friends quickly kicked the door open while shouting at the top of their lungs. "Everybody on the ground now!" Firing a warning shot, Rico quickly aimed his gun from the ceiling to one of the clerks standing behind the counter. The clerk raised his hands in the air only to hear the alarm go off due to the other clerk pressing a button underneath the counter, this action caused her to be shot immediately. "Anyone else want to end up like her, then do something stupid!" Pulling open the door once again the Puerto Rican driver watched as Twilight ran inside with the Mini Gun in her hands, just as the female crew member ran inside she was joined by Leo who was carrying what looked like very large and thick vests. Taking this as his sign to break into the vault, Rico made sure Tego was pointing his gun at the few hostages inside of the bank while he ran over to the vault which was guarded by a giant metal door with metal bars protecting it from anyone that knew how to hack the door. Grabbing a small welding torch that Annie had modified for him the male crew member began burning the bars, once enough of them had been burned the giant metal bars came right off allowing the blader to get to work on the vault. "Le, I need some explosive charges!" Glancing over at Leo the Puerto Rican blader quickly caught three sticky bombs that were placed at specific points on the vault that would allow him to use his torch to burn through the rest of the vault. Setting the charges on the bombs for a short twenty seconds the blader quickly ran back over to Tego to make sure the hostages didn't go anywhere. While the other crew members were busy keeping everyone in check the dark haired member was putting on the surprise that Santos had gotten for her. Guarding her whole body was a large bullet proof vest that looked like it added at least fifty pounds onto the girl, underneath the vest were the belts of ammo that were soon going to be feed into the M134 Mini Gun which was lying on top of the counter.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Sitting in their car a few blocks away from the bank were two cops who were talking about the recent deal they had struck with two low life criminals that were trying to smuggle in various things that people would pay through the roof to get. With the cops giving the criminal a break they struck a deal which would give them fifty percent of all profits made from the items. "We have a code two eleven. The alarm at Paleto Bank has gone off again." Letting out a long sigh that said he didn't want to go to the bank, the driver looked over at his partner who shrugged and pulled down his hat to cover his eyes while they drove over to investigate. Putting the police cruiser in driver the older cop drove onto the road and soon sped off down the street with an irritated look on his face. "If we find the people responsible for triggering the alarm I'm going to shoot them." His partner pushed his hat up just enough so he could see the drivers face.

"Not if I get the chance first." Pulling up in front of the bank only moments later the two cops slowly got out of cruiser to investigate. Glancing at the white van in front of the building they noticed there weren't any license plates attached to it making it nearly impossible for them to track down the owners. As they approached the glass doors the two cops jumped back when they were pulled open, a warning shot was fired at them causing the two corrupt cops to run back to their vehicle. "Get back! We have hostages!" Falling to the ground the younger cop quickly scrambled to his feet while he watched the older cop call for back up.

"Tell the sheriff that the two eleven is confirmed, I repeat the two eleven is confirmed. We're gonna need everything we've got down here."

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Once the smoke from the explosions had been cleared away the crew members inside of the bank quickly ran to the vault with their duffle bags, each one of them managed to fit in as much money as they could before Twilight began yelling at them. "Guys the cops are here, we never could have beaten that response time even if Annie had come with us." Looking up from their duffle bags the crew members quickly began trashing the place as they tore through various drawers filled with more money than they knew what to do with. Continuing to shove more money into their bags the Puerto Rican brothers made sure to fill Twilights duffle bag to the limit before returning to their own bags, once they were sure their own bags were filled they got to work on filling up Annie's bag with cash. Rico managed to slide on a large bullet proof vest before attaching his and Annie's filled duffle bags to his body, glancing over at the two Puerto Rican brothers he could tell they had the same idea in mind. The two brother managed to slid on their own large bullet proof vests before attaching their bags to their vests, Tego was in charge of carrying Twilights duffle bag due to the female crew member already being weighed down by the heaviest vest along with carrying the extra weight of the Mini Gun's ammo. Once they were sure everything was good to go the crew members locked the hostages in a room next to the vault before moving to the front door. Standing next to Twilight the two brother kicked open the glass doors while the female crew member slowly walked out into the open with her Mini Gun pointed straight at one of the cops. "Time to face the music."

Starring down six barrels of pure destruction the cop that had called in the sheriff looked around at all of the corrupt cops they had backing them up then back at the girl holding the M134 Mini Gun. "Sweet… Mother… of… Shit." This was the only thing the cop could say before we could hear the loud sound of the six barrels rotating, keeping his eyes locked onto the girl for a few more moments the cop quickly dove behind his cruiser before he could hear the sound of hundreds of bullets being fired over a period of a few seconds. Covering his head the older cop could hear his partner being grazed by a few bullets as he desperately tried to take cover, the two cops soon heard the sound of shattering glass above them. Keeping their heads covered they slowly looked over at the other police cruisers to see them explode upon being hit by a barrage of bullets being fired from the Mini Gun. The resulting explosion from a nearby cruiser caused some debris to hit the corrupt cops causing them to fall unconscious after being hit in the head.

Doing her best to walk forward the young female crew member continued firing bullets at various cars and buildings which caused all of the cops to take cover behind whatever sturdy objects they could find. Tego and Leo made sure to cover her from the sides that way she didn't get blind-sided by some cop thinking he could take down the main gun user, firing off several rounds as they walked towards the docks Leo could hear Santos on his headset. "Guys I'm afraid to say that our escape route is blocked off. Cops are getting here by speed boat and they've got some stuff that the military would use, I'm afraid I can't out run them." With a worried look on his face the crew member looked over at Twilight who was firing off even more rounds of ammo as she slowly began moving to the apartment buildings that seemed to form a good enough barrier around a decent size of land that would allow them to figure out where to go next. Loud explosions filled the air as the crew members slowly made their way through burning vehicles and ruined lamp posts, glancing over his shoulder the older Puerto Rican brother could see a military convoy not far down the street coming towards them. "WOOHOO! Eat this you pricks!" Engulfed in her own little world the female crew member could hear Tego shouting at her to take cover inside the maze of apartment buildings that seemed to make a fort around them. Pulling the girl into one of the hallways that lead to the apartments the older male crew members locked the metal gates behind him while making sure to push various things in front of it to keep the corrupt cops and now military soldiers off their backs for at the most a few minutes. "Guys you have a bird in the sky, take them down it looks like they're using some military grade sniper rifle." Glancing up into the sky as she walked into the court yard of the apartment complexes the female crew member could see a large helicopter with several people inside of it taking aim at her. With a smile on her face the blader pointed her M134 Mini Gun at the helicopter and continued to rain hundreds of bullets against them as she walked through the clean cut grass.

Moments later a large part of the helicopter could be seen getting jammed just before a loud explosion could be seen, trying to move even faster the dark haired girl could hear cop cars speeding past the apartments buildings that were currently shielding them from any more harm. Another loud explosion could be heard behind the crew as they continued to move through the apartment complexes, glancing over his shoulder Rico could see the metal gates that had been keeping the military behind them were now destroyed allowing the soldiers to march into the apartment complexes. Gripping his launcher in his hand the blader cursed just before launching his bey at the soldiers, moments later a loud explosion caused part of the apartment complex to come crashing down on top of the soldiers giving the crew a few more minutes to gain some ground on the opposing enemies. Wanting to turn back and get his bey the crew member knew better while he pulled out him combat pistol, taking aim at whatever lay ahead of the crew members that were getting ready to climb over a fence. Using a dumpster to lift him into the air the Puerto Rican blader jumped over the large fence and landed in what seemed to be a large construction lot that was currently abandoned. Glancing over his shoulder once again the blader could see Tego helping Twilight over the fence, he knew that giving her the heaviest armor was a good idea to help protect her but when it came to making a fast getaway he knew it wasn't their best option. Running back over to the fence the blader helped Twilight onto the ground while the two Puerto Rican brothers jumped over the fence with every one of their duffle bags still attached to them.

Upon entering the construction site the four crew members could see military vehicles trying to get past the large dump trucks that stood in their way. Twilight took charge once again as she began firing off as many rounds as she could while the others looked over an alternate route out of the construction site. Noticing that their barrage of bullets wouldn't be enough this time Tego quickly launched his bey at one of the nearby buildings causing it to collapse and block what appeared to be the only entrance into the construction site, catching his bey the Puerto Rican blader looked over his shoulder to see Leo motioning for them to follow Rico. The crew members managed to find their other Puerto Rican friend who had found a good view of a meat packaging factory a street away from the construction site, it looked like a great place to lose the military since it was close to the cliff side where the rail road tracks were located at. As they prepared to kick down the fence that was in their way the crew members looked up into the sky when Twilight almost dropped her M134 Mini Gun, "They're flying in a tank! We don't have the kind of equipment to take a tank head on!" For once the crew agreed with the dark haired girl and quickly kicked down the fence knowing their best bet was to make it into the meet packaging factory to figure out another plan. Preparing to run through the street the crew was soon cornered when more corrupt cops and military agents blocked their path further down the street. Doing her best to use the Mini Gun the dark haired crew member watched as the military agents fell to the ground only moments after they had gotten out of their vehicles, looking around the girl could see someone leaning against a guard rail with a sniper rifle in their hands. "We've got your back. Santos is on his way with a distraction, he's got a ski mask on and everything no one will know it's him. I'm going to leave the vantage point now, if anyone sees me up here they'll know I'm with you guys." With the mechanic now out of sight the crew quickly ran past the abandoned vehicles only to hear the sound of a loud tank moving towards them on the street they had just left. Glancing over her shoulder Twilight could see the barrel of the tanks cannon slowly moving in their direction. "Take cover!" Kicking in a door the dark haired girl ran into a clothing store along with Tego who was looking around to see where Leo had gone. After hearing a loud explosion in the distance the two crew members looked out the window to see a few cars had been destroyed, across the street at a hardware store they could see Leo and Rico waving at them. With the knowledge that they're friends were safe the two crew members found their way into an alley way which was guarded by another apartment complex. The sound of the tanks treads moving along the pavement echoed throughout the small street as the crew members on each end of the street made their way to the meat packaging factory. Another explosion could be seen as the female crew member hid ran across the street towards the factory with her Puerto Rican friend close behind her, glancing to the right the girl could see the tanks cannon slowly moving in their direction. Once they were safely inside of the factory the male crew member looked out a window to see the tank wasn't going to fire at the meat packaging factory. "Leo, Rico can you hear me?" Jumping slightly the female crew member nearly fired her Mini Gun when she felt someone tap her shoulder, when she saw that it was the other crew members she made the six barrels of the Mini Gun stop rotating.

"You guys would be seriously lost without me." The sound of Annie's voice could be heard on the crew member's headsets as they slowly pushed bundles of meat out of their way while they moved deeper into the large factory. Looking around the dark haired girl still didn't see her friend anywhere in the factory, she soon stepped in front of the crew making sure that she was the first to be shot if anyone happened to enter the factory. Glancing down at her large bullet proof vest the dark haired girl could tell it had taken on a lot of damage but it still looked as if it had just been made, keeping her friends covered as they advanced further into the dark factory the crew could hear a few soldiers running into the factory from what they assumed was some sort of platform near the exit. "Go to the soldiers and take them out guys. Once they're taken care of be ready to jump onto a moving target, you'll get what I mean in a few minutes. Our two mechanics have already made it here with me, they're safe now and I'm going to work on making sure you're all safe to." With one last sentence the light brown haired girls voice could no longer be heard as hear headset cut out, turning their attention to the next room the crew members could see something moving in the shadows which gave the dark haired girl the signal to unleash every last bullet she had on the hidden enemies. Firing a storm of ammo at bundles of meat hanging from the ceiling the girl managed to expose the hidden soldiers so that the other crew members could began their attack against them, the sound of gun fire could soon be heard even at the entrance of the large factory. Taking aim at the few soldiers that had managed to break into the factory, the crew members made short work of them as they used their upgraded Assault rifles to combat whatever weapons they had. Once they were all lying on the ground either dead or unconscious the crew members ran out onto a platform to see the cliff side had a built in tunnel that allowed trains to pass through it while delivering meat from the packaging factory. Glancing down one of the tunnels the female crew member figured they could wait for a train to come, but this idea was shortly lived when she heard shouting coming from inside the factory. "We have to move, now!" Jumping down onto the tracks the crew members ran into the dark tunnel unsure of where it would lead them.

Moments after they had run into the tunnel they could hear the sounds of more soldiers looking for them, Twilight looked down at the last sticky bomb that Rico had but knew better than to try anything explosive inside of a narrow tunnel like the one they were in. "There's got to be a way out of here that doesn't involve being caught. Look for something to hide behind while we-" The sound of more soldiers deeper inside the tunnel could be heard as the crew came to a sudden halt. Motioning for the crew members to go back the way they came the dark haired girl aimed her Mini Gun straight ahead while the barrels began to rotate again, moments later bullets filled the air as Twilight began taking on the soldiers trying to reach the factory by from inside the tunnel. Slowly walking back the female crew member began picking up the pace when she heard more gun shots near the factory, once she was sure there were no more soldiers hiding inside of the tunnel she began running back to the factory only to find that most of the soldiers were now dead. "We took care of these guys but there's going to be more of-" As Tego began to finish his sentence the sound of a large explosion interrupted him, glancing at the other crew members they slowly walked back into the factory while keeping their guns ready. Walking back inside of the large factory the four members slowly checked the hallway to see what caused the explosion. When they found that nothing was broken they continued to advance back into the factory only to find debris scattered around near the front of the building, motioning for everyone to stay back Rico crept closer to the front of the factory to see the tank was now taking aim at the meat packaging factory itself. "Rico let's move!" Pulling their friend back just before another explosion filled their sights Twilight made sure to pull him behind the wall as debris flew into the hallway. Falling onto the ground the two crew members quickly stood up to look around the corner, they turned to face each other moments later and began dragging the other crew members with them after they had seen that a large portion of the building was now missing. Not even a minute had passed before another loud explosion was heard near the entrance of the factory, glancing over her shoulder the dark haired girl could see smoke filling the air as they ran back to the platform.

With help from the two Puerto Rican brothers Twilight managed to jump onto the platform with the other crew members following right behind her, a worried look appeared on her face as smoke began filling the inside of the building. "We need another plan. We can't back and face that tank head on and there's no way we'll make it out of the tunnel without being seen by the soldier waiting on the other side." Kicking a crate as she paced back and forth the dark haired girl looked at another part of the tunnel when she heard the echo of a train coming towards them. Glancing at the other crew members they were also looking at the tunnel and soon smiled when they saw a train moving pass them, looking at each other they turned their attention to one of the storage units that was opened. Making a break for the train Twilight found that she was soon lifted into the air by the two brothers and tossed onto the train while Rico jumped in behind her. Turning around the girl grabbed Tego's hand while Rico grabbed Leo's arm, with all their might they managed to pull the two brothers in as someone next to them closed the door to the metal storage unit. Moments later they all heard a familiar voice that made each one of them smile, "Where would you four be without me?" The person that had closed the door was the light brown haired girl that had been absent for most of the mission, the getaway that she had planned made each crew member hug her and thank her for saving them from the tank that was most likely still destroying the factory.

"I gave Madrazo a call while you guys were busy inside of the bank. He had a train sent towards this location with some supplies he needs for his business partners, the cops won't know he had anything to do with it and we'll get away without any more scratches." Twilight gave her friend a bear hug before finally letting go and returning to her Mini Gun which still had plenty of ammo attached to it. Glancing down at the black bullet proof vest she was wearing the dark haired girl did her best trying to take it off but only ended up falling onto the ground. Rolling around on the ground a bit more the girl finally detached the large vest and was once again free to move around as much as she wanted without the restraint of the bullet proof vest. Pulling the additional ammo out of the large vest Twilight looked around for a crate large enough to hold her ammo while they stayed on the train taking them to who knows where. Kicking a medium sized crate over to Twilight the Puerto Rican brothers sat down and leaned against the metal wall of the storage unit while they watch their friend pack the crate with ammo. "You missed some serious fireworks going off while I was using my Mini Gun. I have to say this is now one of my favorite guns! Now where are we going now?" Looking around a bit the dark haired girl could see that the two mechanics were missing from the rest of the crew. She gave Annie a quick glance only to see she had a look on her face that told her not to worry about their friends. "The train is going to stop at a platform near Madrazo's house. We'll drop the bullet proof vests and money off at his house, then we can rest up before sorting out what part of the money is Madrazo's and which part of the money is all of ours. Inferno and Santos are in another part of the train working on a car that Madrazo said they could have as payment for helping us out, this in addition to their portion of the money." Giving her friend a nod the dark haired girl let out a deep breath and lay down on the ground while tossing her arms into the air, she smiled before her arms hit the floor while she closed her eyes. The two brothers laughed slightly and watched as Annie began climbing the ladder that lead to a small portion of the storage unit that could be pushed open, Twilight noticed this when she opened her eyes. "I'm going to make a phone call, you guys sit here and relax while we ride this train to freedom." Waving to her friends while the crawled out of the storage unit the crew waved to her while they thought back to their battle against the tank, each one of them hoped to never see or attempt to battle another one ever again in their lives.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Crawling on top of the storage unit the light brown haired girl dropped down in between two storage units so she wouldn't have to fear falling off of the train while they rode out of the tunnel. Sliding her phone out of her pocket the female crew member dialed Martin Madrazo's number while she leaned against one of the storage units. "Hello Miss Annie it's good to hear from you again. I hope my transportation got you all out of trouble, I'd hate to hear this is a call from a prison because I could not get you out, without a crew that is." The female crew member began laughing only to stop when she tried thinking of some sort of crew that could get them out of prison if that ever happened. She shook her head to rid herself of that thought while she gave her business partner the good news. "Mr. Madrazo you'll be happy to hear that we all made it out alive. Your money should be here in an hour, would you mind if the crew rests at your place for a while before we get to work sorting out the money?"

"Of course, please come by and enjoy yourselves. I'll have my chef's make a big dinner for your crew, once we've had our dinner then we can get to work on settling our money agreements." Looking up for a moment that light brown haired girl could see her dark haired friend lying on top of the storage unit starring at her. With a laugh she continued talking on the phone while she made sure to keep an eye on her friend who was surprised to see storm clouds heading over to the town they had just left. "I'll let them know but who exactly would you get together to save us if we had ended up in prison?" The two girls could hear laughter on Madrazo's side of the conversation, he had to think for a moment before finally getting back to them. "There are a few men in Liberty City that have caught my interest. One of them was part of the Liberty City Bank Heist, I managed to track down another man that worked with him as well. Along with those two theirs this one man that's a part of a biker gang that has shown some promise, I'd also have my business partners adventurous artifact hunter join in since she has also shown skills that could come in handy one day. Those would be the people I would recruit to save you if you happened to ever go to prison for doing work for me, I have no doubt that if they were to get together they would be one of the finest crews to ever have been assembled." With one last laugh the business partners hung up leaving only a train ride and dinner from the two partners finally settling the issues that Twilight had caused for them during the Jewel Store Heist. Glancing up again the light brown haired girl stuck her hand into the air and waited only a moment before feeling her friend pull her back on top of the storage unit.

"I can't wait to eat whatever it is that chef is making for us! Once we pull off our finally mission I'm going to hire my own personal chef!" Making Annie laugh a bit the two friends looked up to see lightning pass through the clouds, looking at each other the two friends opened the storage unit back up only to hear the loud roar of an engine inside one of the other units. Crawling over to the noise Twilight peaked into the other storage unit to see Santos stop the car from making noise, she watched as the two mechanics began working on a muscle car that obviously belonged to Madrazo. With a smile on her face the girl crawled back over to her crew's storage unit only to see Annie waving at her from on top of a unit a few cars away. "He's got furniture in this one!" Quickly poking her head inside of the storage unit the dark haired girl got the Puerto Rican brothers attention along with Rico who was about to fall asleep.

"There's a storage unit that has furniture inside of it! Rico, wake up!" Opening his eyes the crew member jumped up along with the two brothers who were waiting for him to climb up the ladder. After climbing out of the unit the crew members soon joined the two female crew members inside of the storage unit and found a few couches that weren't being used. The train ride to Madrazo's soon felt short thanks to the crew member's story about the heist to keep them awake.

Even better than their first Heist mission! The fact that it took a tank to really get this crew to question if they could make it out without being caught was what made this chapter fun to write, not that the other chapters weren't fun to write. I'm still enjoying the thought of the mini heist mission from a few chapters ago, it makes me excited to make missions even better than that one!

Next Mission: Plymouth Road Runner
