Hey everybody, welcome back to the story. Previously, we had the trio deliver the cars, only to be ripped off. This time, we're back with the IAA and they're calling in another favor. This time, they'll be requested to steal some top secret data from the IAA building. After they set up, they'll be going on what'll be their worst idea ever. Read on to find out what happens. Also, the reason why Luis is mad at Niko is explained in this chapter.
Niko was pretty bummed out and angry. This was due to being used by Devin and getting stinted from his pay. Even though Niko spent most of his time during the operation doing other things like get captured by Triads, he still felt pretty mad at the whole situation. Also. Niko felt sorry for Luis, since he did most of the work and getting stinted for him was the worst thing possible to happen to him. However, that mess would have to wait as Lester called Niko to go to the garment factory for something important.
"What's going on?" Niko asked Lester, as he climbed the stairs up to where Lester was.
"Oh, just a little labor dispute." Lester told him, "I think the Feds are trying to crack down on my uh, "activities" so I have to look like a proper textile magnate."
"Well, I hope nothing happens, that's all I'm saying."
"Yeah, how'd that car stealing job do for you?"
"How do you know that?" Niko questioned.
"I know everything my friend. It only makes sense for me to keep tabs on my uh, "acquaintances" and see what messes you get into, especially since you deliberately worked for a pseudo-liberal like Devin Weston."
"Yeah, well I got nothing from that, neither did Johnny or Luis."
"Who's Johnny?"
"Another old friend of mine."
At that moment, Niko and Lester heard the doors open and saw Karen walk up the stairs.
"Thank god you guys are here!" She said, "You alone?"
"Karen?! How did you find us?" Niko asked.
"Yeah, they're up here!" Karen said into her phone, ignoring Niko and pulling up a chair close to them, "Listen, things are going to go bad!"
"When have they ever gone good?!" Niko retorted.
"Listen, you got to clear this mess up for us!"
"Why?!"
"Because if you don't, we all end up in a prison and you will unfortunately get shot." Edward stated, climbing up the stairs.
"Fine, what do you want us to do?" Niko asked.
"The Bureau's onto us. Not only that, there's been an IAA team collecting data on us." Karen notified.
"Now, we need you to find out what they know." Edward added.
"Okay, you want Lester to hack into it?" Niko asked.
"No, no, no. That will not work." Lester told him, "The only way to access it is through the government building where it's stationed."
"Exactly. But don't worry, we have this thing already set up for you!" Edward told him, "You'll be given a chopper, tactical gear, and some bombs to allow you into the building."
"Is there anything else?' Niko asked.
"Yes. The plan is that you and your men parachute from the helicopter onto the IAA building. Once you're there, breach the building, break into the room containing the data, download it, and finally make your way back to the chopper." Karen told them.
"And what if, uh this "plan" doesn't work out?" Lester asked.
"What you'll do instead is fight your way down through the building until you get to a place where you can rappel down. Once you're there, have your driver wait for you and make your getaway." Edward replied.
"That's it?" Niko questioned.
"That's it. Once the job is completed, you'll receive payment and that will be that." He stated, turning to leave with Karen.
"Hey! Once we do this job for you, we are fucking done! Okay?! No more bullshit!" Niko stated.
"Of course." Edward stated walking out the door.
"Alright, what now?"
"I suppose we should get some crew on board." Lester stated first off, "Who should we call?"
"Packie to start, Luis and Johnny should be on board too."
"I don't know about Luis, he called me and seemed pretty upset about getting ripped off."
"Well, I'll make him a offer that he can't refuse." Niko replied, "Now, why don't we get that hacker from the Vangelico job."
"You mean Paige?"
"Yeah, let's get Eddie Toh also."
"Alright, make the calls for Packie, Luis, and your other friend, I'll get Harris and Eddie on board."
Taking his phone out, Niko called Packie first.
"Hey Niko, what's up?" Packie answered.
"Hey Patrick, I need your help with a job."
"Okay, what's the job?"
"Well, I need your help in breaking into the IAA building and stealing some data."
"Whoa, breaking into a Fed building, are you serious?!"
"Yeah, I wish I wasn't. However, if I want to be around any longer, I need to do this or the Agency will have my ass."
"Okay fine, I'll do it, as a favor." Packie said, hanging up.
With that conversation over, Niko called Luis next.
"What bro?" Luis answered, annoyed.
"Luis, I need your help with a job."
"Another one?! Look N, you're cool and all but I already wasted enough fucking time stealing those rides for Devin, which I still haven't been paid for incidentally!"
"And I'm sorry for that!" Niko replied, "Honestly, I'm fucking pissed too. However, the Agency wants us back again, to steal some shit from their building!"
"Shit, seriously?"
"Yeah, remember they got dirt on all of us. If we don't do this, we all go down, okay?!"
"Alright, alright! Coño, I'll be there!" Luis told him, hanging up.
With two people on board already, the only person that was left on Niko's list was Johnny, who he was currently calling.
"Yo! What's up?" Johnny answered.
"Hey Johnny, the IAA want our help again and if we don't, we'll be in some shit."
"I'd help but isn't the issue with the pigs something you started?"
"You'll get paid." Niko stated blandly.
"Alright, I'll be there soon!" Johnny replied, hanging up.
"Lester, my guys are on board!"
"Good, Harris and Eddie are on their way too. Now, when they get here, let's explain the plan."
A short while later, everyone involved with the heist showed up. There, Niko and Lester began explaining what was going to happen. When the rundown of the plan was finished, everyone with the exception of Johnny were okay with the plan. Niko, Johnny, Luis, and Packie proceeded to head out of the garment factory and into a car, before driving off.
"Alright, the chopper's by the NOOSE building, let's go."
"Alright, let's fucking do this!" Packie stated.
"Why the fuck are you so excited?" Luis asked.
"Why are you so sore then?" Johnny retorted.
"Must be from not getting paid for those rides."
"Ugh, I thought we were cool with that!" Niko stated, annoyed.
"Maybe we are. However, since I did most of the fucking work, it's justified."
"Look, I'm sorry, okay!"
"It's cool bro. Just let me know whenever you need any other things for me to do, like clean out your fucking house or some shit."
Sighing, Niko decided to tell Luis and everyone else his offer.
"Alright Luis, I get it, I've been kind of a dick lately. As a result, on this job, we're all getting paid except me."
"Wait, what?" Johnny asked, confused.
"Yeah, I'm not taking any cash from this job. However, you'll all take part of my cut, okay?"
"Shit, thanks bro!"
"Yeah, thanks for sticking your neck out Niko!' Packie told him.
"Don't mention it."
After a bit more driving and going over the plan, the four soon came up to the NOOSE building and began to pull up.
"Alright, we're close, I'll radio in!" Niko told his friends, "Guys, are we ready?"
"Waiting on you!" Paige replied through the radio.
Getting past the checkpoints, Niko stopped in front of the NOOSE building.
"Alright everybody, you sure you're up for this?" Niko asked.
"A job's a job man, let's do it!" Packie replied.
"Yeah, let's do it bro!"
"I'm good as long as I get paid." Johnny stated lastly.
Getting out of the car, the four walked into the building to find all their gear setup for them. After changing into the tactical gear and equipping what they needed, they made their way up to the rooftop.
"If you want to pilot the first leg, I'll take over once you jump." The pilot told them, "Who's gonna do it?"
"Not me." Johnny quickly stated.
"I'll do it man!" Luis volunteered, hopping into the cockpit.
Starting up the chopper, Luis lifted it up towards the skyline. After a bit of flying, he made it to an area in the sky where he could clearly see the two government buildings in the distance. Locking the helicopter into hover mode, Luis notified the pilot.
"Hey bro, your turn!"
"You got it!"
"You guys ready?" Luis asked, grabbing a parachute.
"You fucking kidding me?! There's a more likely chance of me dying from this fucking jump than from a pig's bullet!" Johnny answered.
"Alright, we get it!" Niko stated, "Let's go!"
"Okay boys, let's get to it!" Packie told them, jumping out of the chopper.
Niko was quick to follow Packie, with Luis jumping out as well. The only one who showed hesitance was Johnny, who understandably was afraid of heights. However, he managed to suck it up and leapt from the chopper before starting to sky dive. As the group drew closer, they pulled their ripcords and slowly descended to the top of the IAA building. Getting their gear out, the group took out one of the windows silently, allowing for easy access to the room with the data.
"Well, that's step one complete." Niko remarked as he hopped into the building, "We're in."
"The data is located in the server room!" Paige told him, "It's in the southeast corner of the room you're in."
"Alright, I'm going to blow this up, hold on." Niko stated as he grabbed a sticky bomb from his vest.
Placing it on the server room door, Niko pressed the detonator but it didn't explode. Pressing it a couple more times proved this point and left Niko frustrated. However, he dropped the detonator, drew out his M4 and shot the explosive, making it blow up and taking out the server room door as well.
"The alarm's been tripped!" Paige notified.
"Yeah, we know!"
"The programs are on your cell phone. Connect it to the machine!"
"Alright, hope this works." Niko muttered as he connected his phone with a USB.
"You need to access My Computer. Your cell will show as an external device."
Following her steps, Niko found it and clicked on the phone icon on the computer.
"Okay, what now?"
"First run "
Clicking on it, Niko found a list of numbers in a giant cluster with a IP address above it. Figuring out what to do, Niko scanned his eyes for the IP address and eventually found it before clicking on it.
"Okay, the connection is established!"
"Alright, next run ."
Clicking in the icon, Niko wound a list of letters in eight columns, with one of the letters sticking out as being red instead of white. Again, it didn't take long for Niko to figure out what to do and he decoded the password very quickly.
"Okay, we're in!"
"Great, start and I'll do the rest." Paige replied, "Heads up, looks like the security team's been deployed!"
"Okay guys, looks like we got to hold off anyone who comes down here!" Niko told everyone, turning the monitor to face the doorway.
Sure enough, a few seconds later, the group had some company. Consisting of IAA agents and Special Forces, they began assaulting the four with the group returning fire. Little by little, the group managed to take out the IAA agents sent to take them out. However, there seemed to be no end to them.
"Hey pilot! Get down here and be ready to go!" Johnny told him.
"Airlift confirmed. Approaching the tower."
With that notification received, some more strike units came through the door. Deciding to even things out, Luis equipped his AA-12 and started blasting away at the recently arrived agents.
"Holding over the IAA HQ." The pilot notified.
"Watch out boys! There's more of them!" Packie told the group, throwing a few grenades.
"IAA Buzzard spotted me, setting it down!" The pilot told everyone.
THe pilot attempted to set the helicopter down. However, the Buzzard fired a rocket at him, which unfortunately connected with the chopper, causing it to spin out of control. The pilot attempted to stabilize but failed, which caused the chopper to fly into the building, blowing up in the process.
"Shit, our escape's trashed bro!" Luis notified, blind firing.
"Fuck, all right everyone! We'll go with Plan B!" Niko told the group.
"Goddammit!" Johnny muttered.
"Download complete, get the device!" Paige notified.
Heading back into the server room, Niko disconnected his phone from the USB and shot the computer before heading outside to regroup with his friends. Running through a set of double doors, Packie took cover by another door, which a IAA agent ran through only to get hit in the face by Packie and shot by Johnny's Striker.
With that taken care of, the group moved through the buildings and down some stairwells, taking out any agents they came across. However, they eventually ran into a problem.
"Hey bro, this sprinkler system's blocking my view!" Luis stated.
"Can our hacker shut this off?" Johnny asked.
"Yeah, I'm shutting it off now!"
Sure enough, the sprinkler system was shut off, allowing for everyone to have a clearer view of everything in front of them.
"That's a girl!" Packie stated in response.
After taking everyone out in front of them, the group made their way forward and found the chopper, with the pilot still in it.
"Oh shit!" Packie remarked.
"You think he's still alive?" Luis asked.
"Doesn't look like it." Johnny replied.
"You sure man because he could still be ali-" Luis tried to say.
As he was saying what was on his mind, the building shook, causing the chopper to slip out of it's position and plummet to the streets below.
"Well, if he was alive, he isn't now." Johnny remarked.
"Oh, you're real fucking funny bro. Now, let's get out of here!"
"No, we can't right now! We're too high up, we got to go down a bit more!" Niko told him.
"Fine, let's get going." Packie told everyone.
Sliding down, they proceeded to make their way down by the building, while taking out some more resistance that blocked their path. Eventually, they found a busted window with the support beams sticking out.
"This okay?" Packie asked.
"Yeah, we're good." Niko replied, getting out the rappelling equipment.
"Hey hacker, what's going on?" Johnny questioned.
"Looks like every unit in the states on its way!" Paige notified.
"Coño, Five-O's got it out for us!" Luis remarked.
"Then let's get going!" Niko stated.
The rappelling hooks were all set up, leading to the group stepping under the support beam.
"You know, this reminds me of that time where you had me save that guy from the Bureau." Johnny remarked, "Say, whatever happened to him?"
"Another time Johnny!" Niko replied.
The group began to rappel down the building. As they did so, they heard the sounds of police sirens in the distance. Looking over, they saw practically every unit heading for the IAA building.
"Shit, looks like every pig from here to Sandy Shores decided to show up!" Johnny remarked.
"An air unit's seen you! Look out!" Paige informed.
Sure enough, when the group got to the ground, the same Buzzard from earlier came up to them and started opening fire on them. Rolling into cover, the group waited until the spray of bullets had passed them. Once that happened, Niko dived backwards and shot the pilot in the head, causing the helicopter to spin out.
"Looks like your wings got clipped, bitch!" Johnny spat.
"Alright, let's go!" Niko stated.
Running over to a nearby ledge, the group set up their rappelling hooks again and rappelled down to street level. Once that was done, they took out the last few IAA agents in their path and proceeded to look for their escape vehicle.
"Fuck, where's our ride?" Packie asked.
"Hey, I'm here!" Eddie called out from a nearby ambulance.
"Shit, everyone get into the ambulance!" Luis stated.
Running for it, the group hopped in. Once everyone was present, Eddie began to drive away, turning on the sirens to make it look like they were a legit paramedic crew. Soon, they were out of the boundary of the IAA building, allowing everyone to relax.
"Alright, looks like we're in the clear. Luis, we're heading up to your place."
"Got you!"
"Shit, I thought we were done for back there!" Packie remarked.
"Yeah, we had it covered though, right?" Johnny asked.
"Oh yeah, we had it covered alright." Niko replied, "Take out a whole fucking swarm of agents while a boy from the village pretends he's a hacker! Come on, this was the worst plan ever!"
"Well, we got it done bro, that's all that matters right?" Luis told him.
"Yeah, you could say that. Or not, I don't fucking know."
Soon, Eddie pulled up to Luis' house, with him, Johnny, and Packie heading out.
"Hey, we'll see you later N!" Luis told him, as Johnny and Packie walked into his house.
"Alright, take care Luis." Niko replied, before looking at Eddie, "Hey, could you take me home? I'm fucking tired."
"No problem man, I'll do it."
And that's it, hope you enjoyed this chapter. Anyways, we're getting close to the end of the GTA V with GTA IV characters story arc so get ready because the end is near. Next time, we're going to have Niko go meet up with Solomon Richards, only to see a old buddy and his butt monkey with him. Check back next time for the parody of "Legal Trouble". Thanks 4 reading, Lt-RexCole out.
