Alex was walking through Newport when he suddenly got a phone call, and he quickly answered his phone. "Alex Coburn speaking." Alex said as he picked up the phone.
"Hey, mon. It's King Courtney. Leader of the Yardies, seen? You and your boss Toni Cipriani wanted to make peace offerings with us after we cut ties with the Leones a few years ago, am I right?" King Courtney replied on the other side of the line.
"That would be the case, yeah." Alex replied.
"Okay, cool, mon. Look, come on down to Aspatria. I want to discuss business with you there. One love." King Courtney replied before Alex hung up the phone and he began to make his way over to Aspatria.
Once Alex got there, he sat down on a bench by the shoreline and waited for King Courtney to arrive. Not too long after that, King Courtney arrived and sat down next to Alex. "Hey, mon. Glad you could make it." He told Alex as he stared out in front of him.
"Yeah, same here." Alex told King Courtney as he looked at him.
"Hey, look ahead of you, mon. We pretending we strangers having a friendly chat, seen?" King Courtney told Alex.
"Right, right." Alex replied as he also stared out in front of him. "So, what do you want me to do?" He then asked the Yardies leader.
"Well, you Leones need our help in a gang war against the Yakuza, Sciocchi and Cazzos, seen?" King Courtney asked Alex.
"Correct. The Yakuza have assassinated our Don, Salvatore Leone and are now working with the Sciocchi and Cazzos to wipe us Leones from the face of Liberty City. We need any help we can get to defeat the three of them, so that's why we came to you and the Yardies." Alex told him.
"Ah. I heard 'bout the hit on Old Man Leone. We may have cut ties with the Leones a few years ago, but I still found it unfortunate to hear he got killed. Shit like that causes problems for all gangs." King Courtney replied.
"No kidding." Alex replied.
"Well, me and my Yardies boys, we willing to help you Leones in this time of need, but our services don't come free, seen? You Leones help us, we Yardies repay your help by helping you. Everybody happy. We got a deal?" King Courtney asked Alex.
"Sure, you got a deal. If there's one thing I've learned growing up, it's that the better things in life don't come cheap." Alex replied.
"Cool, mon. Cool. Look, here's the first thing I need you to do for me. My baby, Queen Lizzy ordered an expensive pair of new shoes from this shoe store, Peter's Pumped Up Kicks in the Liberty City Shopping Mall, but them ras clots say they lost the shoes. You go down to that store and threaten them into giving you the shoes. Once you got the shoes, bring 'em back here. I'll be waiting for you. One love." King Courtney explained to Alex.
Alex nodded and got up from his bench. "Alright, King. I'll take care of it." He told the Yardies gang leader before he went to a nearby Leone Sentinel and got into it, then drove on over to Newport, drove up to the Liberty City Shopping Mall, got out of his Leone Sentinel and walked into the mall, walking through it before noticing a sign that said "Peter's Pumped Up Kicks".
"Ah, that should be the place." Alex nodded as he went inside the store. "Excuse me, I got a message from King Courtney." Alex said as he walked into the store.
"Oh shit..." The store manager muttered before Alex walked up to him.
"Do you know what happened to the shoes that Queen Lizzy ordered from this store?" Alex asked the store manager.
"We already told her and King Courtney that we lost the shoes! There's no reason to come down here and ask questions we've already answered!" The store manager told Alex, who proceeded to pull out a baseball bat.
"I think you're lying, and I don't take kindly to liars. You've lost your easy way out of explaining, so now I'm going to loosen up your tongue a little bit." Alex told the store manager before proceeding to beat him up with his baseball bat, eventually knocking out one of the store manager's teeth.
"Argh, my tooth! You bastard!" The store manager shouted.
"Where the fuck are Queen Lizzy's shoes?!" Alex angrily asked the store manager.
"They're in the back of the store! Grab them and get the hell out of here, because you are out of your fucking mind!" The store manager replied. Alex quickly ran to the back to find a shoe box that read "For Queen Lizzy", and proceeded to grab it and left the store and the Liberty City Shopping Mall. The LCPD proceeded to pull up to the mall. Apparently the store manager had called the cops on Alex after the assault.
"Shit, it's the flatfoots..." Alex sighed before getting back into his Leone Sentinel and taking off with screeching tires, eventually losing the LCPD. He then drove back to Aspatria, where King Courtney was still sitting on the bench.
"Ah, you made it back! And you got them shoes too! You're a great man, rasta!" King Courtney happily told Alex as he was handed the shoe box by him.
"Yeah. He tried to lie his way out of the situation, but I managed to get the information out of him in the end." Alex informed King Courtney.
"Alright. Well, thanks for your help today, rasta. Here's a little something for your trouble. If I got anything else coming up, I'll let you know. One love." King Courtney replied as he handed Alex $500 and walked off with the shoe box. Alex then left the scene as well.
