The call was made to Leopold back at his apartment a day after the last setup. Jeff comes by early to set up the plans for the team, leaving Leopold to call them to meet, coming an hour later. Once arrived individually, they decide to head into the planning room. Jeff was playing around with the planning room map until being surprise by the four coming in, immediately briefing them of the score.

Jeff: We've got a bit of a problem.

Leopold: What kind of problem?

Jeff: Some assh*le got wind of what we're up to, apparently killing a guy's closest associate puts a bit of a spotlight on him. Anyway, now I'm told they've put a price on the professor's head, so we've gotta move, now. Is that clear? Can we get going, alright? And remember, the professor is paying you, not me. Not me at all. So keep him alive.

Leopold: So what you got for us with all this?

Jeff: Well based on this inmate transfer schedule, Bolingbroke are expecting a new arrival. One of you is going to intercept the transport, make sure it doesn't get there. Two of you are going to be taking our prison bus and making your way into the facility in its place. You'll be playing inmate and guard. Stay in character as long as it's useful, then may your way to the rooftops, I'll get on the radio and give you a path to the prof. Meanwhile the pilot will have picked up the plane and be waiting on evac in the air. Whoever stole the bus will be bypassing the prison and torching it somewhere discreet. After that, it's just a matter of getting your guy out of the clink and getting on the plane. Everyone flies out of there except for the bus thief. Professor Rashkovsky takes control of the plane, the three of you onboard take a jump, the professor is out of the US airspace and reunited with his precious car. Simple, should be the easiest money you'll ever make. Speak soon. (Leaves room)

Jake: Man I thought he'll never stop talking, dude.

Ronald: We got a lot of work to do from the sound of it.

Eris: Any idea who's doing what, Leopold?

Leopold: Well it should be obvious who will do their parts on this score. Jake, you can get to that bus faster and remove it of course. Eris, you know how to fly these planes, so you are going to get it out of LSIA. Ronald, unfortunately, you're gonna be our prisoner.

Ronald rolls eyes: Claro. (Of course)

Leopold: Which means I'll be the prison officer. I have the exact same gun those guys carry, so hopefully getting in there will be easy. And everyone gets equal take.

Eris: Uh hmm?

Leopold: …Okay, Eris gets 5% of my take for the stuff then.

Eris: 30% of this wouldn't have been done without me.

Leopold: Yeah, whatever. We don't have much time left, so let's get suited up right now. Ronald, you'll be sitting with me on the way. Let's get this over with.

Eris: Uh, Leopold? (Throws vanishing cream for tattoos)

Leopold catches it: Ugh, fine. I'll be sure to also get my American accent right on the way, if it makes you happy.

Immediately, the team suit up in their appropriate roles and get their appropriate weapons. Ronald however was restricted with a AP pistol to sneak in the prison. Anyone who was done setting up was able to leave the apartment and to their objective; Leopold and Ronald go together in one of Leopold's cars on the way out. Jeff this time contacts them outside the apartment after everyone left, talking to everyone going their own paths.

Jeff: Here we go. Okay, you're splitting into two teams – transporter, officer, you're the ground team. (Talking to L&R) To start with, you'll collect our bus from the junkyard in Sandy Shores. (Talking to J&E) Demolitions, you're the perimeter team. You'll be hijacking the inbound Bolingbroke transport, the pilot's going to LSIA. And me? I'm going to put some smoke in a nice, crowded public place. We've given everyone an AP pistol and special carbine, so there's no fighting over who's the favorite.

Ronald: Oh por favor, all I got is this puny pistol.

Jeff continues: Demolitions has got a jerry can and some sticky bombs, too. Let's get to work.

Jeff goes over each person of their objective. Jake and Eris head to their destinations by bike while Leopold and Ronald took a car. Eris gets to her destination first at the airport, and as she got there, she was warned about the plane over its window of opportunity. Eris was allowed to cross the gate and immediately grabs the plane out of the hanger and on to the runway, taking off to the country. Jake heads up north of the Vinewood hills, following the prison bus path and finding it heading down the hill. Jake doesn't hesitate as he goes on the left side of the bus and takes out the driver with the AP pistol, stopping the bus on its path and hijacking it. Jake gets warned by Jeff about the bus' geolocator, keeping it on its path to the prison until crossing with Leopold and Ronald on the other bus. Leopold and Ronald take a freeway to Sandy Shores until arriving at the spot where the setup bus was dropped off. Jeff mostly focuses on Leopold and Ronald. Without them knowing at first, tracking chips were installed on their clothes, following them on a map of the Bolingbroke prison.

Jeff radios them: You got the bus? Alright, take it to Bolingbroke and avoid attention. (Ends)

Leopold: Understood, we're heading over there now.

Ronald: I never thought I would end up wearing a prison outfit in my life, let along be taken by you.

Leopold: And I never thought I would wear an officer's uniform, twice.

Ronald: I better not end up wearing this permanently, I will not end up like my uncle back home.

Leopold: Heh, that's if they decide to keep us alive. For all I know, what we're doing, will give us a death sentence. Like that makes it any better.

Ronald: We only live once, Slikk. How we die is determined on fate. We may have cheated death plenty of times before, amigo, this could be our last.

Leopold: We're not gonna die in that sh*thole, Ron. We're gonna get this scientist out, all of us. This is not our time just yet. Besides, I want to see that reveal trailer of Righteous Slaughter 8 that's coming next week.

Ronald: Eh, me too.

Leopold: Then let's get through this.

Ronald: …We're getting close.

Leopold: Okay, put those cuffs in place and hide that gun. This is f*ckin it.

Leopold drives the bus towards the front gate of the prison. A guard comes out of the box to check for the number of prisoners, only finding Ronald in the back.

Guard: Just one? I thought the drug laws were keeping us full. Come in. (Opens gate to prison entrance)

Leopold slowly drives in the facility, stopping the bus near another lineup of buses.

Leopold: Okay, just follow my lead.

Ronald and Leopold step out of the bus with Leopold shoving him out.

Jeff comes on the line: Okay, get to it. As long as they think you're an inmate and a guard, they shouldn't raise the alarm. I said shouldn't.

Both walk back to where they came, with Ronald in front. They notice a ladder behind a guard from the entrance, including a guard on the walkway above. As they made their way close to the first guard, Leopold makes the call

Leopold: Now!

Ronald breaks the cuffs with the pistol hidden in his hands and shoots the guard in front. Leopold at the same time takes the guard on top including the other two near the bus. Immediately they make their way to the ladder. Suddenly the alarm goes off in the facility as Jeff notices from his line.

Jeff: So much for that. The facility's on alert. You move on Rashkovsky.

Ronald: Well where the hell is he located?

Jeff: Go west along the walkway taking a left at the fork. You'll turn right at the fork and see some stairs in front of you.

Ronald: Si. Eh Slikk, this way.

Transitioning to Jake

Jake drives the bus to the Sandy Shores Airfield and finds a spot to torch the bus. As he got out, he can hear the alarm coming from the prison, meters away.

Jake radios Jeff: Hey, what the hell's going on? I can hear the alarm from where I'm at.

Jeff: Ground team has made it inside the facility and is heading over to Raskovsky. You just focus on getting rid of that bus on your side.

Jake: I'm on it.

Jake attaches a sticky bomb to the bus and takes cover to detonate the explosive, destroying the bus.

Jake: And that's all she wrote, dude.

Jeff: Good. There should be an offroad vehicle nearby. Drive out of there, immediately.

Jake spots a red Mesa: I see it, I'm getting out of here right now.

Jeff, as Jake gets in vehicle: We got a problem, air traffic's redflagged the plane and they're scrambling jets.

Jake: Aw sh*t, Eris. What can I do?

Jeff: I spotted some Merrywheather mercenaries doing training exercises not far from where you are and they're holding a buzzard for you to take. Take em out and protect the plane, fast.

Jake: I'm on my way.

Transitioning to Eris

Jeff: Pilot, you're being spotted in restricted airspace and they're launching jets to come after you. If they try to shoot you down, run evasive maneuvers.

Eris: G*ddamit! Where's Jake?

Jeff: Demolitions' on his way with an attack buzzard to your location. Just keep that bird in the air and let him take care of those fighter planes. (Ends)

Eris: I just hope a wheelman knows how to fly that thing.

Jake comes on: Don't worry, girl, I'm coming to save ya.

Eris: Can you fly that Buzzard, Jake?

Jake: I've taken the flight school back in LSIA before. Piece of cake.

Eris: Be careful up here, they'll target you, also.

Jeff: Stay strong up there. You need to hold off those jets until the ground team get Rashkovsky out of the facility

Transitioning to L & R

Leopold continues to take down guards on the walkway, while Ronald finds a staircase down to the inmate yard to search for the scientist.

Jeff comes on their radio: The prison's in lockdown. There's one path to Rashkovsky.

Ronald while shoving away other inmates: Where the hell is this guy? Eh, Slikk, can you find this scientist from up there?

Leopold: I don't see any more prisoners around here. Keep searching, he must be hiding.

Ronald: F*ck. Jeff, where's the damn scientist at?

Jeff: Keep looking, he should be where you're at.

Ronald looks over a dodgeball court in the yard, finding a prisoner. It was Rashkovsky. Ronald approaches him.

Rashkovsky gets frighten by Ronald, only for him to reveal himself.

Ronald: Eh, calm down, we're here to break you out. Take this gun I swiped from a dead guard.

Rashkovsky: I thought they were sending professionals. I collaborate and nearly get a shiv for the pleasure. Just give me the gun. (Ronald hands it over) …Nice. There are some screws I hope we run into. (Cocks gun) Let's go!

Ronald radios Leopold: Eh, Come in, Slikk, I found are guy.

Leopold: Is he hurt?

Ronald: bloodied and battered, but he can still move.

Leopold: Ordnung (Alright). Stay where you are, I'm coming down.

Leopold runs down and meets with the two: Hey, you Rashkovsky?

Rashkovsky: Yes, and who are you?

Leopold: I'm the German.

Rashkovsky: Ah, I heard about you from the other inmates. Is there more involved? (Hearing explosions in the air) I'm gonna say, yes.

Ronald: Can we just get out of here? Darse prisa! (Running to the exit path)

Jeff comes in on radio: Oh sh*t! Look out, they called in NOOSE!

Leopold spots a NOOSE team from the way out: Everybody take cover!

The team take cover behind barriers with NOOSE firing back with SMGs. Meanwhile in the air, Lazers pursue Eris flying the plane. Jake manages to take one jet down, but two more were still going after Eris. Jakes sees a jet getting close. Again he aims at the fighter, struggling to keep on it until lock on, firing two missiles. The jet almost outruns the missiles, able to outrun one, but gets hit by the second, trailing smoke. Eventually the pilot bails out in Lake Alamo Sea.

Jake sees the pilot eject: Ha, dude couldn't keep it in the air.

Eris: You got one more, Jake. Looks like he's coming after you first.

Jake spots the aircraft right on his tail. Already his Buzzard was being locked on and having two missile fired at him.

Jake panics: Oh F*ck. (Dodges first missile) Sh*t. (Dodges second missile) Woo, can't touch this.

The jet flies by Jake to make a turn, only for Jake to make a lock on and fire his missiles. Unfortunately, both miss their mark, now the jet was locking on him. Jake was still locked on but couldn't load up more missiles, until eventually both of them fire at the same time at each other. Jake pushes the stick to the side and starts dipping sideways to avoid the missiles. The Jet also avoids Jake's missiles by trying to barrel roll over them. Though avoiding the first, the second one explodes on the jet pilot's wing, spinning out of control and crashes in the Sandy Shores desert. Jake on the other hand again avoids the two missiles but barely crashes on the ground from doing the maneuver.

Eris: You Okay Jake?

Jake: Almost Sh*t my pants after that one. I believe that's all of them.

Eris: I don't see blips on mine. We clear.

Leopold radios Jake: Jake! Come in?

Jake: What's up, LS.

Leopold: NOOSE got us cornered back at the prison. We need that Buzzard over here, now!

Jake: Dammit, I can never get a break. Where are you, dude?

Leopold: We're hold up at the back of the prison. We got the scientist with us already.

Jake: Okay, I head over there.

Leopold: Don't get too close to the prison. Those assh*les will shoot you down on sight if you do.

Jake: Damn. I'll keep my distance, bruh.

Ronald: I got that guy, let's move up!

Leopold, Ronald, and the scientist make their way around the prison to get to the exit. Every chance they move up, more NOOSE come crawling in. They scavenge ammo from dead NOOSE whenever they can, and soon get to the loading area for the buses. They get pinned down again, only for Jake to fire rockets from a distance, taking out some NOOSE within the facility.

Jeff radios in: He ain't moving till the area's clear. Come on!

Leopold: We're working on it! Ronald, on me! Jake, just keep firing, assh*le!

Jake: You're almost there, dude, keep moving.

Ronald gets the scientist hiding behind a power generator: Rashkovsky, Come On! We're almost out.

Rashkovsky follows: You guys are crazy!

Leopold: Shouts: Yeah well get use to it, man, we're just getting started!

The two shoot the last remaining NOOSE in the facility. Jeff radios in on their progress.

Jeff: You're going out the way you came in. Let's go.

Leopold heads out first close to the gate, finding a NOOSE armored truck near the exit, killing the driver and starting it up. Ronald and the scientist come right after.

Leopold looks back: Come on, Hurry up! Get the g*ddamn scientist in here.

Ronald helps the scientist onto the back of the truck, closing the doors. Leopold immediately drives out of the prison gates and rams through acouple squad cars stationed there.

Leopold radios Eris: E, come in, we got the scientist out of there. Head to the Sandy Shores runway and pick us up there.

Eris: I'm on my way.

Leopold: Jake, cover us on the way over, we got a lot of cops coming after us.

Jake: I'm running out of rockets, dude, I'll see what I can do.

Leopold races over to the runway with squad cars, NOOSE vans, and police choppers in back of them. Jake couldn't get too close and was out of rockets on the Buzzard. Eris lands the plane just a quarter on the runway, waiting the rest to arrive. Leopold slides the armored truck to the side to block gunfire, jumping out of the driver seat, followed by Ronald and the scientist. Eris opens the Velum side door in back and rushes them in.

Eris: Come on come on, we don't have all day!

The team climbs into the plane.

Leopold: Get us the f*ck out of here.

Eris guns the throttle on to the runway while NOOSE vans start getting close to them. Leopold pops out of the side door and begins shooting at the NOOSE hanging on the side, knocking them off, including killing the driver. Eris urges Leopold to get back in, shutting the side door and begins to lift off with the units still after them below. The police choppers still caught up, taking shots at the plane, but Jake comes from behind and takes them out with the Buzzard's miniguns, crashing them down at the end of the runway.

Jeff radios in: We're almost there, people. You need to evade the authorities before you can bail out of there. Run evasive maneuvers, get clear, then head towards the drop zone. This all goes to plan, you rendezvous on the beach in the Palomino Highlands. And remember, Rashkovsky's paying you to get him out, I'm just a friendly stranger you know very little about.

Eris begins to think about something. While doing so, she continues to gain altitude, and flies east, followed by Jake.

Rashkovsky thanks them: Thank you, people for doing this for me. I would have been killed if you haven't come along.

Leopold: Don't mention it. We're just here to get paid. Whatever you do after this, we don't give a sh*t.

Eris: Radar's clear of units and we're just above the beach side. Get ready to jump out, boys. (Open side door)

Leopold, Ronald, and Eris were already wearing their parachutes. Leopold gets ready to jump, followed by Ronald.

Rashkovsky: So long! I hope they pay you good for this!

Leopold and Ronald take a leap out of the plane. Rashkovsky heads to the cockpit and ask Eris to take control of the plane.

Rashkovsky: Okay, you can jump off. I'll take it from here.

Eris pulls a handgun out and points it at the scientist: Not so f*cking fast there, professor. I got questions and I want you to answer them to me right away.

Rashkovsky with hands up: And what happens if I don't?

Eris: I'll kill you myself, crash this f*ckin plane in the ocean and no one gets f*ckin paid. I got enough money anyways to not care to put a bullet in you, but I do care for my friends on getting this job done. Now talk! Who is this guy we're working with and why does he want you to be set free?

Rashkovsky: He goes by the name, Agent 14. He wants me for the schematics of the Humane Labs facility not far from here. He plans to infiltrate the labs using you again for his team of people.

Eris: What People? What the hell does he want from there?

Raskovsky: I don't know what he wants. (Eris loads bullet) Okay, I'll tell you. He wants data of a toxic nerve agent that I created in that research lab not long ago. I don't know what he wants with it. All I know is that he wants it for the International Affairs Agency.

Eris: The IAA?

Rashkovsky: Yes. Please. Just let me go.

Eris: F*ckin bastards, I knew it. That's all I need to know. You're free to go.

Eris jumps out of the plane, only for Rashkovsky to quickly take control of the stick and flies off. Eris parachutes down and lands on shore with the others waiting.

Leopold comes up to her: Hey Eris, what the hell took you so long up there? Scared to jump off or something?

Eris makes an excuse: I was making sure the professor will give me that extra 5% of the share.

Leopold: You'll get your extra 5% from me, E, you didn't have to ask him.

Eris: I was just making sure of it.

Leopold: Okay then. Jake, take us back home! Another heist successful for the real crew of Los Santos. Let's celebrate back at my place.

The team takes off from the beach and heads back to the city.

Jeff/Agent 14 comments them: I should say. I've been impressed by your professionalism. I'm not going to go into it, but Rashkovsky's part of something bigger. Way bigger. I need to make a few more inquiries, and we'll be ready to go on a job that requires your particular skill set. Don't retire on me just yet. (Ends transmission)

Eris thinks about what the professor told her, knowing exactly what Agent 14 wants for them on the next job.

Eris thinks to herself: I know exactly what you want, Jeff, or should I say, Agent 14. I knew you were working with someone as shady as the IAA, I knew it the first time I've met you. Leopold may not see over his greed and stupidity to see what serious trouble you may be causing, but someday I will come after you, including digging up dirt from your agency.

Moments later, the team celebrates back at Leopold's apartment, pouring wine. Though Eris was there with them, she felt bittersweet about the job, knowing what Agent 14 was probably up to. She sat alone on a counter in the kitchen, looking over her phone. The rest start to wonder about her, not celebrating along with them.

Jake: The hell's wrong with her? She hasn't been excited about completing this job since we got here, dude.

Leopold: Ah, she's just pissed because of this guy we're working with. I don't see what's wrong about him. In a day or so, once we get paid, she'll forget all about it.

Ronald: Eh, I don't know, amigo, it's like she knows something that we don't about freeing that scientist. I mean, Jeff did sound abit weird to us throughout all this. I can see why Eris probably doesn't trust him.

Leopold: I'm telling you, Jeff is probably just some secret criminal. We meet people like this every time, it's just business. (Leopold's phone rings in his pocket) Hey, I gotta take this for a minute.

Jake: The hell is it?

Leopold: It's Lest, I might need to talk to him alone, I'll be back. (Goes to downstairs bedroom)

With Jake and Ronald's heads looking away, Eris quietly follows Leopold downstairs, hearing what he's saying. Eris can hear Lester's voice from the phone.

Lester: That wasn't you, was it? Bolingbroke?

Leopold: Look, you brought this guy up to me, and I took that job for my own sake.

Lester: You know how I said I didn't want to touch that job with a ten foot barge pole? Well, if I'd known what it was going to be, I would have told you I didn't want to touch anyone who'd touched it with a ten foot barge pole. But it's too late now, isn't it. Things are pretty quiet right now. Those people. And me too. That's not to say there won't be something down the line.

Leopold: Ugh, what is it about this guy, Lest? Even Eris doesn't trust him.

Lester: Well maybe Eris has a point to not trust him, unlike you, Leopold. She's a smart girl, and she's there to tell what jobs will not get you or your friends into serious trouble from the authorities, or even killed. If you don't want the feds coming at your door, then I suggest you listen to what she has to say.

Leopold: …I'm doing that next job for this guy, all of us are. Whether you, or E don't agree with it. No stupid ass feds are gonna stop me, or anyone in this damn city or country. Nothing's gonna get in my way again. And I will take what I want no matter how hard it is to you, or who I work with.

Lester: You're a bold criminal, Leopold, but you're also a very stupid one at most. Once again, be my guest. But don't you come crying to me if the entire city turns on you, just because you wanted more for your ill gotten games.

Leopold: More is not enough, Lest. Wiedersehen (Hangs up)

Eris comes in surprising Leopold: Still selfish as usual I see.

Leopold: What the hell you want?

Eris: Would you risk your team of becoming ex-convicts just because you want more money for your black hole of a bank.

Leopold: What you talking about?

Eris: Jeff is using us for his dirty work.

Leopold: That's the whole point E, that's how the criminal world works.

Eris: Well what if I said that "Jeff" is not a criminal, but an undercover agent.

Leopold: …what makes you say that?

Eris: You're working for some government agency, Leopold, becoming their asset. You're a pawn on their boardgame, all of us are. You know I'm against that sh*t, and so should you.

Leopold: We're all pawns at first. But sooner or later, we will become the king and queens.

Eris: Not with them we won't. I've talked to Rashkovsky after you two jumped out of that plane. He's being used to get information for the Humane Labs facility for some neural agent research that "Jeff" wants. Not for himself, but for the IAA. Now I'm not sure what they want with it, but they do have a record for doing shady deeds in the world, including to its own people. In my theory, they will put the blame on us. He's setting us up and we're gonna be the scapegoats in all this, making them look good, and make us look like pure sh*t for the future. Now you see why Lester and I don't trust him. He's not a criminal, Leopold, he's a f*ckin agent.

Leopold: So what are you saying?

Eris: If we keep working with this guy, at some point we're gonna be his puppets for whoever he works with. We do his jobs for him, he gets the agency to forcefully hire us, and they begin to force us to do their International affairs, setting us up from the start. And if we drop out on them, then they'll have our heads. …And they say we're the real criminals. They're more criminal than any other crook in the city. Using us for things that are much worse than what we do, and they're supposed to be seen as the good guys. Well bull-sh*t. We're supposed to be against them, Leopold, not helping them for inside jobs, only for them to blame us someday.

Leopold: I still don't get what you're talking about.

Eris: I'll just have you think about it then. I'm leaving, enjoy your celebration. (Walks upstairs and leaves apartment)

End of Job (To Be Continued)
