Gang Bang

It had been a day since Vince had helped Zimos get more of his business up and running. After getting some women from that boat that was used for human-trafficking, it seemed that the Saints had their own hand in Steelport's prostitution market.

But what puzzled Vince was the call he had received. He received a call from Viola DeWynter, whom he had met before. He had met her and her twin sister Kiki when they bailed them out of jail after the heist at the Stilwater 1st National Bank. It was mainly a publicity stunt for the Saints, but the twins escorted them so that they could have a chat with their employer, Phillipe Loren. Of course, everything went south on the plane that night. Ever since the Saints had been in Steelport, their goal was to take down the Syndicate.

So what possessed one of the DeWynter twins to give the Saints the tip on the boat? Even though he and Zimos went through a lot, as did others when getting the women, the main thing on Vince's mind was why this woman helped him. Even then, he felt that the Saints' conflict with the Morningstar was not over yet, but that won't stop him from tying up loose ends anytime soon. Then he will focus on the rest of the Syndicate and also taking down Phillipe Loren for real this time.

Vince was out and about. He felt he needed to be alone in all of this. This had been on his mind since he got up that morning. It was now around noon. He felt that Zimos deserved a bit of a break so that he could focus on his business. However, there was one other person with connection to the Morningstar who he felt needed to be called. He cruised around in his purple Phoenix and reached for his phone and pulled over, looked for that person and made the call and quickly went through.

"Hello, Boss," said a man with a Russian accent.

"Oleg, you think I can trust Viola DeWynter?" Vince said.

"I think she, her sister, and her employer held me captive while harvesting my DNA," Oleg said.

"Gee, guess you're holding a grudge," Vince said.

"I simply think one must question her motives," Oleg said.

"Fair enough," Vince said and heard a beep sound, indicating that another call was coming in and recognized the number from the previous day. "Well speak of the devil, hang on a moment, Oleg."

Vince clicked over. "Hello."

"Hey, well looks like the information about the ship was useful," Viola said.

"You want to meet, don't you?" Vince said.

Viola chuckled mildly. "Is it that obvious?"

"Are you coming alone?" Vince said.

"If I would have anybody with me, it would just be Kiki, but even I'm not so sure…," Viola said.

"Both of you come," Vince said. "Send me your location and I'll consider coming."

"Well then, we'll be waiting for you," Viola said. "Meet us over at Merlot Park in Ashwood."

"Will do," Vince said and clicked over. "Oleg, we have a meeting to get to. It's in Merlot Park in Ashwood."

"I'll be there," Oleg said.

Vince started up his Phoenix and had it on K-Rhyme FM. Suddenly, a news report came on.

"With the hope of an impromptu fireworks display, people looked up, only to see falling gun shells raining down into their eyes. The apparent theft of a cargo container gave citizens a scare as gunfire was heard in the skies above Steelport. Several helicopters flew through the city, dodging bullets coming from rooftops throughout the area. The contents of the container are unknown, though several people on the ground report it was leaking what they describe as 'smelling like urine.' This is Jane Valderamma with your Steelport Import News."

After the news report was over, "Hood Gone Love It" from Jay Rock and Kendrick Lamar started playing. It was time to see what these two women have to say. Vince wasn't sure he could trust these twins, but if one of them willingly tipped him about the boat, maybe something else was up. There was only one way to find out.

Vince pulled up to the park. Oleg was already there. Even though a man of his stature could fit inside a car, a purple Criminal was seen pulling away. He was likely hauled on the bed of the truck.

"Hello, Boss," Oleg said.

Vince looked ahead and saw the twins walking towards a man playing the guitar in front of a fountain with naked women statues in it.

"Are you sure about this?" Oleg said.

"If one of them helped me recently, there has to be something that they want," Vince said. "But even I'm not too sure."

"Remember, I was held captive," Oleg said.

"I know, but I have experienced a lot in my time," Vince said. "We should see what they want."

The two Saints walked towards the twins. Viola put some change into the guitar case of the guitarist, as did Kiki.

"I didn't realize you two were patrons of the arts," Oleg said.

The twins turned to look up at the two Saints.

"We never had the chance to chat, what with you being a science experiment," Viola said.

"Though it must hurt not experiencing the arts for a while, huh?" Kiki said.

Oleg gritted his teeth a bit when her heard them say that.

"I wouldn't piss off the big guy," Vince said.

Viola sighed. "Look, we're not here to fight. We need to work together. We've been going through a lot lately."

"Right, and what is it that you went through?" Vince said.

"All kinds of stuff," Kiki said.

"And I'm supposed to care?" Vince said. "Remember, you two were with that French fuck and we got into some shit on the plane. It seems like a lot of people have been offering help to me lately, as well as asking for it."

"We're not with him anymore," Viola said.

"In fact, we left the Syndicate," Kiki said. "They fucked us over and they are ready to kill us."

"So what's in it for you?" Vince said.

"We get to watch Killbane and that fucking asshole Barry suffer," Viola said.

"As well as Phillipe," Kiki said. "In fact, we want to make all of the Syndicate pay."

Vince sighed and looked up towards Oleg. "Can you play nice?"

"I am always a gentleman," Oleg said.

Out of nowhere, sounds of motors were heard nearby on the road close to the river. Several people were just enjoying their day at the park. Vince and Oleg turned around and saw three gray vehicles come their way. The people at the people immediately started running out of the way of these vehicles.

"What is that?" Viola said.

"Nothing good, let's go!" Vince said.

Vince, Oleg, Kiki, and Viola started running away, whether it was through bystanders or even parked cars. From above, some kind of soldier, wielding a sniper rifle fired a bullet, only to hit an innocent bystander just walking by. The pedestrian wasn't lucky. A taxi cab pulled up and crashed into a parked Raycaster. It seemed that the cabbie wasn't so lucky, either.

But the vehicles didn't stop. Even when Vince slid over a parked car, Viola and Kiki ran through a gap, and Oleg jumped another parked car, the vehicles continued to chase after the quartet, even so much as ramming through the parked cars once they exited the park. One vehicle in particular followed them enough to turn in the exact same direction the quartet turned and went through an alleyway.

"Let's go through here!" Viola yelled as she found some doors, only to find that they were locked or stuck.

"Damn it!" Viola said.

As soon as that vehicle closed on them, as well as a soldier coming out of the roof to fire the turret on top, Oleg quickly kicked the doors open.

"Ladies first," Oleg said.

The twins got inside, and Vince and Oleg followed them inside. Oleg immediately closed the door as that soldier opened fire on the turret. It was a laser. More of the vehicles came into the alleyway, and the soldiers got out, armed with some unfamiliar weaponry.

In that same alley, a young African-American woman with short hair and the type of armor that those soldiers were wearing signaled to the other soldiers. It seemed like she led that team.

"Kia, status," a male voice said through that woman's earpiece. It appeared that the woman's name was Kia.

"The Saints have taken cover with the DeWynter sisters," Kia said. "We're about to move in."

"Roger that, contact me once you secure the area," the contact said.

"Yes, Commander," Kia said and the call had ended.

"All right, team," Kia said to her fellow soldiers. "Spread out, go in. They should be inside."

Vince, Oleg, and the DeWynter sisters looked around. They were in the storage area of some place, but what was it?

The twins had gotten out their .45 Shepherd pistols that they had just in case something went down. Vince got out his .45 Shepherd pistol and had his D4TH Blossom under the back of his jacket.

"Let's hope the front's clear," Viola said.

"Who were those guys?" Kiki said.

"Soldiers of some sort, though I don't recognize the uniforms," Oleg said.

"Whoever they are, they want us dead," Vince said. "Maybe Killbane sent mercs."

"He thinks his Luchadores are unstoppable," Viola said. "I doubt he'd ask them to sit this out."

"What about Matt Miller?" Vince said.

"Matt doesn't take part in things like this," Kiki said. "Even then, those two women who handle security and enforcement, I don't think they'd sit this one out either."

"So we got a new problem," Vince said. "That's great."

He looked around and saw a door. He led the way and opened it, only to find that they were inside Technically Legal. Several patrons were there, scantily-clad women were dancing on stage. Not for long, though, as big flash explosions occurred, blinding strippers and patrons. Luckily, Vince wore sunglasses. The twins actually wore their sunglasses over their eyes this time. Oleg was behind them, so the flash didn't affect him much.

It wasn't long until a body of a patron dropped, as did a stripper, when some of those soldiers ran out through the stage entrances wielding laser guns and fired lasers towards Vince and the others.

"Seriously, laser guns?!" Vince said. "Am I in a fucking sci-fi movie?"

Vince and the others saw an ATM and stood behind, as many of the lasers fired towards them, only to hit and drop other patrons. Some patrons were lucky, a few others, not so much.

Kiki leaned out a bit and fired a slug right to the helmet of a soldier on the rightmost stage. The orange glass broke, it had gotten darker with a touch of red on it and the soldier dropped right by the body of a dead stripper.

Viola used the same tactic and dropped a soldier as well, but that wasn't all of them. Some other ones stormed through the entrance with riot shields and fired, with so little regard to any innocent bystanders in the club.

Vince led the twins behind the bar, while Oleg went forth and used all of his brute strength to take down one of the soldiers. Glass broke from the bottles and glasses that were above them.

Many of the surviving patrons and strippers knew that they had to run out of there, but some dropped, because the soldiers just fired at will, with no care as to who got hit.

Vince quickly got up and fired seven rounds right to the helmet of a soldier, causing his body to drop right close to the bar and saw that the dropped a Viper Laser Rifle, Viper for short.

Let's see how this works. Vince thought and picked it up and flanked a soldier holding a riot shield.

"Fuck this, let's get out of here!" Vince yelled as he went forth towards the main entrance with a lobby and some patrons getting out of the way of gunfire.

He held the door open, the twins and Oleg ran through it. Vince turned around, fired three bullets towards any of the other soldiers in the strip club and followed the others into the lobby. Surviving strippers and patrons just ran to get out of dodge. Oleg saw another door and barged through the doors, opening them.

The soldiers followed into the lobby. Before Oleg could close the doors, Vince let out three more shots from his pistol. One soldier threw a frag grenade right towards them. Oleg shut the doors and ran away, causing the soldiers to be affected by the blast of the grenade and some wood and rubble to fall from the ceiling.

Vince led the twins and Oleg up a flight of the stairs. He opened the door and saw that they were now on the roof. They all looked up and saw a fighter jet flying through the sky right near the Burns Hill Reactors.

"What the hell?" Vince said and turned around.

All four of them saw something irregular from a distance: an aircraft carrier ship, where some other aircrafts starting flying from. Vince had his Viper handy, as well as his .45. He handed Kiki his D4Th Blossom.

"Well this got worse," Vince said.

All of them saw some more jets flying over them, even some formed in a line.

"This place looks surrounded," Viola said.

"What the hell are those things flying in?" Vince said.

A different type of aircraft flew towards them. It had a different shape, almost like a helicopter and had wings on top, and fired lasers, too.

Oleg saw an elevator and the light on the button was off.

"They've cut the power to the elevator," Oleg said.

"I'll see if I can fix it," Viola said. "All of you cover me."

"You got it, sis," Kiki said.

Vince and Kiki fired their weapons right at that aircraft. Vince tossed a magazine right to Kiki in case she needed to reload. Vince fired lasers right at the plane. Smoke emitted from the aircraft as it flew away.

Oleg saw another similar aircraft descending towards a rooftop.

"They're soldiers off up here," Oleg said.

"Saints, we have you surrounded!" a voice was heard through a speaker. "Surrender now! You're trapped, there's nowhere to run!"

Another aircraft dropped some more soldiers off on another rooftop. One of them fired a rocket towards them, but it only hit a roof.

"Well, that's just great," Vince said.

Vince and Kiki continued to fire away at any of those soldiers. What kinds of soldiers were they was what they wondered.

And here I thought that Ultor's Masako was bad. Vince thought.

"Hey, I'll handle the assholes over on that end," Kiki said, point to their left. "You handle the guys in front of us."

Vince looked around and saw a McManus sniper rifle lying around. "You got it."

It was amazing that he found a rifle lying around like that. It shouldn't be much of a surprise because this was a crime-ridden city and that rifle was probably used from someone who used this rooftop as a vantage point. Oddly enough, the rifle was still loaded and another magazine lied around.

Vince looked right through the scope. The same four guys were on the roof with that water-tower. He aimed at each of their heads. They were all done.

Meanwhile, Kiki was still busy with her set. She managed to drop at least one soldier. Vince quickly looked towards the other set and fired at the other ones.

"Thanks," Kiki said.

"Don't mention it," Vince said.

Another one of those planes flew, except this time it was on the roof where the quartet was.

"More troops landing on the roof," Oleg said. "Let me handle these guys."

Oleg ran as the plane started to land to drop off those troops. As soon as they got off, he charged right at them, tackling them, causing their weapons to drop. He picked one of them up, who wielded an RPG launcher, and threw them over the ledge. Vince and Kiki walked closer as the other ones crawled to pick up their weapons. Vince fired lasers and Kiki fired bullets to ensure that those soldiers stay down.

"Not bad," Kiki said.

Vince smirked and nodded. He looked over at Viola.

"Viola, how's it going over there?" Vince said.

"I'm trying to hotwire an elevator while I'm being shot at," Viola said. "How do you think it's going?"

"Love the confidence there," Vince said, sarcastically.

"If you think you'd be better at it…," Viola said with an annoyed tone.

"No, no, that's all yours," Vince said.

"We got your back, sis," Kiki said.

More planes kept flying around. Another one of those particular planes descended onto a rooftop across the street.

"Come down from the roof, and you won't be harmed," a voice said from a plane.

"Yeah, yeah, I heard that the last time," Vince said.

"Watch those snipers across the street," Viola said.

"Shit, more snipers?" Vince said and got out his rifle. He looked towards Oleg and Kiki and told them to hide behind those air conditioner units that were on the roof. Vince dropped all four of them with so much ease.

The crazy thing about all of this was that these soldiers were causing more damage than the Saints were. The lasers had broken off some of the rubble from the rooftop. It wasn't just from Technically Legal, but also neighboring buildings.

Vince looked down and saw some tanks and more of those transport vehicles that chased after them earlier. Considering where they were, some of them were fighting the Deckers as well. The tanks fired lasers as well.

He looked up as well, fighter jets flying over them this time.

"Incoming air…things!" Viola yelled as she continued to do her task.

Several aircrafts flew over them, firing lasers, causing damage to some of the buildings nearby and cars below.

"Hey, Oleg, you ever see this tech before?" Vince said.

"It's military grade, way beyond the private sector," Oleg said.

"That should worry me, shouldn't it?" Vince said.

"A little," Oleg said.

The fighter jets flew in. It would have to take a miracle to stop these guys.

"More of those high-tech jets!" Kiki yelled.

She saw that one of those guys that Oleg threw over the ledge had an RPG launcher, but was left on the roof. She picked it up and fired a rocket at the VTOL jet, causing it to lose control with a flame on the right wing. The pilot seemingly got it to fly away until the plan slowly descended to street level and BOOM!

"Viola, Kiki, you have any idea what's going on here?" Vince said.

"You tell me, they seem to be after you," Viola said.

"In this city, who isn't?" Vince said.

Kiki added, "Well it seemed like they aren't just after you guys, but there was a lot of focus on you."

"Except I don't know who or what these guys are or what their cause is," Vince said.

"I'm done," Viola said. "Let's get going."

Viola went and picked up a Viper rifle from a fallen soldier. Both of the twins were wielding those laser rifles now.

"Man, I feel like I'm in a sci-fi action movie," Kiki said. Viola chuckled at her sister's comment.

A fighter jet hovered right close to the rooftop of Technically Legal, firing a laser, blasting more of the rubble, bricks, and tarmac on the rooftop. Oleg looked directly at the pilot with a death glare.

"Give it up, you aren't escaping," the pilot said.

"Enough of this," Oleg said and turned to his comrades. "You go, I'll get their attention."

"What the hell are you doing?!" Vince yelled.

Oleg started to run, much to the shock of his three comrades. He jumped right on the ledge of the roof and jumped right onto the nose of the jet.

"Come out of there, little man!" Oleg yelled and started hitting the glass on the cockpit of the plane, causing the pilot to lose control of the plane and firing more lasers on the rooftop of the strip club. Luckily, the laser didn't hit Vince or the twins. But it did leave a flame on the roof, as well as fired some missiles, causing some more property damage nearby as they hit some of the other buildings.

"All right, elevator's working again," Viola said.

"Let's get the fuck out of here," Vince said and looked up at the same jet.

Damn, Oleg, I hope you know what you're doing. Vince thought.

Vince led the twins right into the elevator. It went down, right back into the strip club. It was empty, with the exception of the corpses of some fallen strippers, fallen patrons, and fallen soldiers.

"Shit," Vince said.

He and the twins looked around to make sure that no other soldiers were around.

"Okay, it seems clear," Vince said. "We'll head to the crib and hope they don't follow."

"You sure you can get us there?" Viola said.

"Sure? No, not really," Vince said.

"Well, that's just great," Kiki said.

A couple of other soldiers emerged from the front entrance of the strip club as they were seen at the door with the two cartoon ladies swinging on handcuffs. After having had enough to deal with for one day, the trio quickly opened fire and shot at a couple of soldiers until they were down.

"Let's go," Vince said.

The three of them ran right for the front entrance to the strip club and went through the doors. They saw a police car parked right front, as well as more of those transport vehicles and other soldiers ready to open fire.

"Oh shit!" Vince said. "Get in the cop car, quick!"

Vince ran right towards the driver's side. Viola went right for the front passenger's side, and Kiki went into the back seat. Vince started up the vehicle, sirens and lights immediately turned on, and he stepped on the gas the moment the car started.

"I'm taking you guys back to the crib," Vince said. "Just hold on."

Vince floored the police car and just drove through red lights and around any gunfire going their way.

"The Syndicate doesn't have the kind of pull to organize something on this scale," Viola said.

"Look around," Vince said. "I don't think these guys are being picky about which gang they're shooting at."

The streets looked like a warzone. Many bodies of civilians and Deckers were seen. Many buildings were damaged. Worst of all, those attack vehicles and tanks were rolling around. It was as if this city was now becoming a battleground.

"Then who called them in?" Kiki said.

"I'll worry about that when I'm not being shot at," Vince said.

When they crossed through Arapice Island, there were moments when they saw those soldiers getting into it with the Luchadores. Some bodies of Luchadores were even down, as well as bodies of those soldiers, along with innocent bystanders. Some lied in pools of their own blood. Some even had limbs cut off from all of the carnage.

Vince continued to drive fast on the road and made some shortcuts here and there to avoid being seen by those soldiers. Suddenly, his phone rang.

"Let me take this call," Vince said. "Hello?"

"Boss!" Shaundi said. "Boss, are you seeing this? I'm getting reports from the crew that these guys, they're all over."

"Looks like it's not just us they're after," Vince said.

"Who knows? We've been busy running for cover," Shaundi said.

"Thanks, Shaundi, we'll be back soon," Vince said. "I hope."

Vince knew that he was getting close when he saw that he was in Sunset Park. He decided to cut right through the park, as he would go straight to the Saints HQ.

"Hold on, ladies," Vince said and stepped on the gas once again. Once the building was seen, he let go of the gas and coasted and hit the brakes. He steered the car so that he wouldn't go head on into the glass door.

He quickly got out of the car, as did Viola. Considering Kiki was in the back seat, he opened the doors to that area and Kiki quickly got out of there. They followed Vince right towards the elevator to go up to the penthouse.

DING! The elevator door opened. Vince led the twins into the place. They recognized this place alright. They've been here when there had been parties for the Morningstar before.

"Boss, there you are!" Shaundi said and looked over at the twins. "What are they doing here? Aren't you Loren's girls?" She said in a condescending tone.

"Shaundi, relax," Vince said.

"What, you're making deals with the enemy now?" Shaundi said.

"Shaundi, let me explain," Vince said.

Through the window, a helicopter descended onto the helipad.

"Shit, is it those guys?" Viola said.

"Nah, they're with us," Vince said.

It wasn't long until Johnny and Pierce got into the penthouse.

"Shit, Boss, some crazy shit going on out there," Pierce said.

"Fuck, man, I have never seen anything like this before," Johnny said. "I know I took a few down myself, but those assholes were firing off these fucking lasers, man. They even have some type of shotgun I have never seen before. Fuck!"

Johnny then looked up and saw the twins. "Wait, hold on, what's going on here?"

"Oh, if you must know, Viola and Kiki came to me to see about trying to take down the Syndicate," Vince said.

"Wait, you two are Loren's girls, why the fuck are you…?" Johnny said.

"Johnny, wait, let us explain," Viola said.

Johnny went full stop. He knew he had heard that voice before.

"It's time we tell you what's going on," Kiki said.

Kiki's voice also sounded familiar to him.

"Wait a minute, Boss," Johnny said. "Something I need to say first. I think those two girls helped me out while Loren held me hostage."

In a quick moment, Vince, Shaundi, and Pierce looked directly at Johnny and then at the twins.

"What are you talking about?" Shaundi said.

"These two fed me a bit when Loren and the Syndicate held me hostage and also freed me," Johnny said. "Remember when I said that some ladies helped me get out?"

"It's true," Kiki said. "We've been having some problems with the Syndicate lately. I was tortured as well."

Viola cut in, "Maybe all of us should sit down and we can explain everything that had been going on with us."

Minutes later, everyone had some looks of shock on their faces. It was clear that they both told them everything that had happened.

"So you see, we have nowhere else to turn," Viola said. "All of the Syndicate wants us dead. We could leave Steelport, but knowing Phillipe, he has connections in various places."

"We could be dead by the time we leave Steelport," Kiki said. "Even if we left, they would have ways to find us."

Vince nodded. Much to everyone's surprise, Shaundi had look of mild concern on her face, as did Pierce. Johnny did, as well.

"All right, ladies, you two could help us," Vince said. Suddenly, his phone rang.

"Hey, Kinzie, what's up?" Vince said.

"Boss, I just want you to know that Oleg is okay," Kinzie said. "Some of our guys found him near Ashwood. He is a little beat. He limped when they found him close to Burns Hill. He managed to get away from the wreckage of that jet."

"Wait, Kinzie, how do you know about all of this?" Vince said.

"I know all and see all," Kinzie said. "He's safe. He's with me right now. Our guys brought him to a hospital."

"Thanks for letting me know, Kinzie," Vince said.

Right after that, Vince called Zimos and Angel. It turned out they were safe, but their areas were under attack as well. They just kept inside their hideouts. Zimos even kept some of his women safe.

STAG Aircraft Carrier: Thermopylae

On the aircraft carrier, several journalists gathered before a podium, where an older man with gray hair walked to deliver a speech. He wore the same type of armor, except it had more of dark gray shade to it with an orange collar and an Ultor symbol on the back. This man looked like a hardened veteran, who had seen it all, likely served in the Vietnam War and the Gulf War, among others. Kia stood right next to him as he was ready to deliver his speech.

Over the podium, a banner with stars and stripes read "Mission Accomplished: Job Done" on it.

"My name is Cyrus Temple, commander of the Special Tactical Anti-Gang Unit," the man said. "I'm here to answer your questions about the STAG Initiative."

Many of the journalists, including Jane Valderamma, raised their hands for Cyrus to pick who should go first.

"Hello, Alex Aquino, Steelport Times, one question, please," said a male journalist in a red suit with a green and maroon shirt, he looked to be Filipino. "How long will STAG be occupying Steelport?"

Temple said, "There is no occupation. We have the full support of Mayor Reynolds."

More journalists vied for attention, until one was selected.

"How will STAG impact our daily lives?" Jane Valderamma said.

"When we win the war on urban terror, you and your families will be safe again," Temple said.

"Sir, that not's not what I asked," Jane said.

Temple said, "Let me tell you about Jessica Parish, a girl from Stilwater who ran away from home to be with her tough-guy boyfriend. Jessica thought her life was pretty sweet, until a gang-banger kidnapped her, threw her in the trunk of a car, and laughed as her boyfriend crushed her in a monster truck rally. If Jessica Parish was your daughter, how far would you want me to go?"

Jane looked down when she heard him say that. She recalled her colleague Jack Armstrong touching on a story about that three years prior when someone had been crushed.

"Thank you for your time," Temple said. He and Kia walked off the podium.

Inside Barry's office, he looked down at what was going on. With his boss Phillipe Loren coming back to Steelport soon, he needed to find a way to get back at the Saints. He had received calls from Killbane and Matt about the trouble that had been going on that day. With Phillipe coming in the following day, he planned to meet him at Wesley Cutter International.

But he also knew that he was responsible for having Vince Shane, the leader of the Saints eliminate his fellow colleagues in the Morningstar. There had to be a way to take him out.

He looked through his inbox and found an e-mail from someone named Dexter Jackson at Ultor. He opened it and it read:

Hello, you may not know me, but I have a hand in some stuff here in Steelport. I understand that you have some issues that need to be dealt with and I am familiar with them myself. For that, I can provide you with someone who can take care of the problem. If you have any questions, call me at the number on my signature or respond to this message. Thank you.

He saw that the email had an attachment. He opened it up. It was a profile of an assassin. This person was a woman, brunette, rather attractive. On her profile it read her name, but her alias/codename read "Cypher" and was said to be "Extremely dangerous."

Barry nodded his head and smirked a bit at this. It was time to put an end to the Saints once and for all. Without a leader, it should be easier for the Morningstar, as well as the rest of the Syndicate.

Author's note: That's it for this one. Don't worry, Barry will get his deserved fate sometime soon, but I had thought of pointing in the character of Cypher in this and found a way. Just like with Dex, I had to think of a way, but I found it for both of them. For those who don't know, Cypher was the character from the cancelled Saints Row downloadable game, "Saints Row: Money Shot." As for my change in Ultor having influence in STAG, if you look closely at Cyrus's collar on his armor, as well as Kia's, you will see the Ultor logo. So I thought why not have them connected, even though STAG had some government influence.

Initially, I had a hard time deciding if Vince and Oleg would meet just Viola, or both of the twins. I decided it to be both of them. They will have more to do soon. Just wait.

Next up, the Saints tie up some loose ends before dealing with STAG. Stay tuned.
