Chapter 48: Dirty Laundry Set Up
Sunny pulls the trigger of the M-4 rifle. The bullet blows the bottle to pieces. She blows the second one away; then the third and fourth. "Four bottles not bad" Chelsea smirks "But I could have swore that there was a fifth bottle" her hand holds the bottle "Oh? This is a type of test?" Sunny spat on the ground "Let's see how good that aim of yours is" Chelsea readies her arm "Put your money where your mouth is Sunny takes her position.
Chelsea tosses the bottle over the abandoned trailer next doors to hers.
Sunny aims her rifle at the bottle as it flew across the way. Her eye aims the sight. She pulls the trigger.
The bottle explodes. Chelsea's mouth stood wide open.
"So, where's my fifty bucks?" Sunny stuck out her tongue "Cheeky little motherfucker..." Chelsea grumbles as she pulls out a bill and hands it over to Sunny "My turn". Sunny hands the M-4 to Chelsea.
Chelsea aims at the other set of bottles that she had arranged. Five shots tear through the bottles. "What do you think? Huh?" she boasted "Not bad," Sunny complements "but your aim is slightly off", Chelsea stared back with skepticism on her face "Off? That's funny since my aim is top notch, military grade training at it's best Chelsea proudly boasted "Uh-huh" Sunny mocked "You're fucking with me aren't you?" "Wow! Guess your army training gave you a brain!" "Snotty little cunt, I'm going to show you like I did everyone else back home" Chelsea threatens "Chelsea, what did I say about relaxing?".
"Right-right-right. Sorry, I'll try to have fun" remembering the promise she kept.
"It's so nice you two are getting along".
Sunny pulls out her .45 and aims it at Wolf; Chelsea points the M-4 at his chest. Both ready to fire. "You know what'll happen if you shoot me" he reminds her. She growls and motioned Chelsea to lower the rifle. "What the fuck do you want?" Sunny huffed "I need something to be taken off the cops in this place, it's pretty important to us" he demands "What? Their undies?" Chelsea snarked "What a comedian, I can see why you hang around her and it isn't for her brains".
"What did do you say? You fucking pig! I'll smash your fucking bloody face with this fucking rifle!" Chelsea yells as she readies to attack "Chelsea!" Sunny grabs her arm and restrains her. Her green eyes looks at her eyes. Her anger subsides but it's still there. Sunny turns back to Wolf "What the fuck do you want us to get? This better not be another bomb run". Wolf whistles "It's some laundry, money to be exact.
"See we need to requisition some money that they don't need anymore. The situation goes like this, the money is going to be moved to Paleto Bay bank via an armored truck. You and your little friends are going to stop that truck and rob them.
"That's it? Robbery? Stealing from your fellow officers? That's really low Sunny sarcastically tells him "It's not up for debate, do this or your sister gets twenty one gun salute at her funeral" Wolf threatens "Fucker" Sunny cursed under her breath "How you prepare for this is on you, better come up with a plan fast, the next shipment won't come until next week; times a ticking" and with that he walks back to his pack of wolves.
Sunny mutters angrily "Goddammit". Chelsea gripped her shoulder "I hate that fucker" "I know; I hate him even more though" Sunny tells her "Back to Paleto Bay" Chelsea mused. Sunny shook her head and kicked the dirt off the ground in frustration "Come on, we got to get going" Chelsea went back inside to put the rifle away.
"Linda, anjeonhage jinaejuseyo...(please stay safe...)" Sunny sadly prayed.
...
Chelsea drove through traffic "We're in quite the pickle aren't we?" "Working for a gang of corrupt cops who have me by the tits isn't what I call a good day" Sunny sighed "Well, it is for a good cause" Chelsea sarcastically quips "Hmph, some cause".
"Back to Paleto, what can you tell me about the bank there?" Sunny looked straight at the freeway. "Well, from what I can remember the bank was robbed a while back. Four guys. Three went into the bank and robbed it. Cops showed up and they expected that they were going to take them down; jokes on them. Those three guys came out the bank, get this; wearing heavy armored EOD suits; carrying military grade high capacity guns".
"Fuck, are you serious?" Sunny looked back at her "Yeah. No joke! Chelsea chuckles "I hate to have been them during that shoot out.
Those guys open fire. I mean, shit, it was like Beirut! I remember hearing the gunshots from my place! Just fucking intense! They shoot it out with the tactical guys from NOOSE and then of all things, the military get's involved. They brought soldiers. Actual fucking soldiers! And fucking tanks to the motherfucking mix" Sunny whistled "The fourth guy who was with them came in with a bulldozer to give them cover. The guy that they brought with them decided to hold the soldiers off while the three made their getaway. Don't know how that guy did it but he's one lucky motherfucker, I'll give him that. Anyways," Chelsea passes a chicken truck "the three guys dodge shells that those tanks were lobbing at them, they run into a chicken factory of all things. More fucking soldiers turn up and have a fucking shoot out in the factory. The guys kept going until they hit the loading dock. They hold the line while waiting for the train to come. Finally the fucking train comes, the three of them hope onto that train and ride off into the sunset" Chelsea finishes the story.
"What was the scene like?" Sunny wondered "Fuck. I managed to drive to that fucking scene. Holy fucking god, cop cars torn to bits and burning. A helicopter that was shot down and crashed into an apartment courtyard that was across from the bank. Wounded cops and soldiers. Dead cops and soldiers. Just a fucking wreck of a war zone. I managed to collect some shell casings from those guns and kept them as souvenirs" she proudly boasted "They used grenades in that factory! Just fucking wow!".
"Let's hope we don't have the national guard chasing us" Sunny looked as they entered Paleto Bay "That's no fun" Chelsea took a right turn.
They park at the gas station from across the bank.
They wait for a good twenty two minutes. Chelsea pulls out her phone and texts a contact in sticks about what to expect.
"Okay, so according to my guy, he says that this thing is going to come down every Friday. And let's today is Tuesday, so next Friday is due time" she calculated "What's security like?".
"According to this, private security from the local armored truck company. All of them standard armed guards. They're carrying Armalites, nothing we can't handle. And..." Chelsea trailed off as she read of the details "Yeah...? What is it?" Sunny looked over at her "Says right here that a Blaine County Sheriffs deputy escorting them until they head across the county lines.
"So they got police protection-" "Yeah and the hits keep coming, if anything were to happen, a whole squad of deputies would swarm if there was an attempt to rob the shit".
"What the response time?"
"Three minutes tops".
The armored truck shows up, the police escort pulls up on the side of the bank "How much money are they going to take out from this place?" Sunny looked on "26 million". Sunny scoffed in disbelief "You're joking? That tiny bank has that much money?" "These pricks extort all the meth labs, weed farms and whore houses around this place. This is just their piggy bank.
"All the money from that heist I mentioned, it was their money. You'd think they would take the hint and be smart about were they store it". Sunny pondered about what Wolf could want with twenty six million dollars. Cops robbing other cops, albeit dirty cops. "And there's the escort..." Chelsea points out "How many sacks are they taking out?" Sunny eyes the whole situation "Let's approximately...seventeen bags". Sunny thinks about the best way to handle this. They watched as the security team loads the bags into the truck "I think they're almost done" the two looked on as they finished the last of the bags "Okay, what do we do now? Follow or go back?' Chelsea looked at Sunny "Follow. Stay a few cars behind them and try not to be seen". Chelsea starts the engine. She carefully follows behind. "How long does the highway go?" "Towards the WH and Chumash, pretty close to that place where we...tore that car up".
Sunny hated thinking about that moment. It made her feel nauseated to remember that. They keep following. "Same squad car? Or do they change when they get the chance too?" "According to everything I've read, same car but like everything it's on emergency call if anything happens so we're on a timer if anything happens.
"Okay, I think we got enough information. Let's go back, we got to plan this out" Sunny ordered "You got a plan I take it?" Chelsea turned the car around "I'm starting to formulate one right now in my head.
"I think we're going to need a third hand on this one. I don't think Dominic needs to be involved with this one" Sunny pulls out her phone and goes Geraldine's number. Her finger dials her number.
"Yeah?"
"Geraldine, it's me".
...
The Cavalcade pulled up. Geraldine stepped out and waved at them "Hey" Sunny greeted her "Hey girl" she greets back, the first thing she notices is trailer home. "This is Chelsea lives? This dirty ass place is where she lives at?".
"Yup; I'm expecting to find a secret entrance to a meth lab at any given moment" Sunny quips "Hey, what did I say? There's no meth lab! Jesus!" Chelsea scolded as she came outside "Sure, there isn't" Sunny prodded "There's always that funky smell from your underneath your place I keep on smelling". Chelsea scoffed "Like I said, a cat or two took a crap there! They occasionally sleep there too!". Sunny snickers "You're fucking with me again aren't you?" "Aw! You finally caught on!" Sunny poked at her "I hate you. Snotty cunt" Chelsea stuck out her tongue "Shit I'm surprised that you two motherfuckers haven't killed each other" Geraldine snarked "Believe me, I'm always tempted to do it".
"I'd catch you before you least expect it and kick your ass five times before you hit the ground" Chelsea remarked "Remind me on who won our match" Sunny scowled "You got lucky Missy" she eyed her "Hey, I thought you said there was a job here?" Geraldine reminded them of the job; "Right, I need to explain something to you first though".
Geraldine sat patiently as Sunny explained her situation with Wolf and her sisters current position as a hostage. "Goddamn...that motherfucker kidnapped your sister? Shit, why didn't you mention this before when we first talked?"; Sunny sighed. "Well it sucks when a fucking dirty motherfucker of a cop kidnaps the only family I have left and is holding her hostage, while I have to do his dirty work to free her" she summed it up in one way "Sorry girl, I didn't mean it like that" Geraldine quickly apologized "Don't worry about it, it was a lot for me to take in after everything had happened" Sunny tossed Geraldine a cola "Shit if that's what it takes to get your sister, you do what you got to do.
"So, about that job?" Geraldine opened her cola "Right; it's only going to be the three of us.
That very same motherfucker of a cop wants us steal some from another pair dirty cops here; twenty six million in total".
"Damn. Motherfuckers like that are bigger crooks that we are" she remarked "Tell me about it, we're going to need a few things along the way to do this. Weapons shouldn't be a problem" Sunny opened her own of soda "We're going to need something to transport that money in" Chelsea suggested "Shit, maybe a truck" Geraldine chipped her idea in "That's a good idea but an ordinary truck will probably slow us down" Chelsea sat on the counter top "We could get one of those small delivery vans that you see driving around-.
"We could probably modify the hell out of it to hold the weight of the bags, amour plate it" Sunny finished the getaway vehicle idea "Speed might be a factor with this thing, don't think we need to add nas to this thing, mod the springs so they can take the load".
"What about the police? Geraldine inquired "You know we could probably do what they do to car jackers; put one of those things on the engine; we could probably remote control the switch. The thing should shut the whole car down. Cops will be out of the way" Chelsea added "Hey what about spike strips? You know to stop that armored car? And somethin' to blow the doors off. Oh shit, we probably gonna a big ass truck to know that thing onto the ground" Geraldine finishes her soda "Yeah, and let's see; we need some disguises. Nothing to expensive and some masks too top it off" Sunny finishes the rest of the idea "Okay, last thing we need is a truck and after that we're set".
"That's a lot of homework" Chelsea sighed "We'll do this individually" Sunny tell them "Let's just relax for the time being".
"So how are things going on here?" Geraldine wondered "Great! Chelsea smiles "Yeah, don't let that smile fool you, don't play cards with Chelsea; she gets mad when she loses.
Chelsea scowled "No I don't!" "Yeah you do!" Sunny shoots back "Did you know she throws a tantrum whenever you beat her at cards?" she snickered "Shut up! Cunt faced twat!" she sticks out her tongue. "So listen where are you staying?" Sunny leaned against the fridge "Some cheap ass motel near Sandy Shores" Geraldine grabs her car keys "I brought my cat with me, I didn't want to leave him alone". Chelsea gleefully gasped "Where is he? I want to play with him!" "He's back at the motel" Sunny followed her outside "You sure you don't want to stay here with me?" Geraldine looked at Sunny "It's fine, besides I don't want you waking up from Chelsea's snoring".
"I don't snore!" Chelsea tells them.
Sunny pulls out her phone and goes to the recording app, pushes the play button.
A loud snore is heard from the file. Almost like a bear or some drunken ogre. "That doesn't prove anything! For all I know that could be you snoring!" Chelsea points out "Wanker...ehhh...going to get ya you rich wanking fucks...!" the recording plays her voice. Chelsea blushes and looks away "Cunt".
"Alright, catch y'all later".
Sunny waved her off.
Chelsea angrily pouted "Aw you okay?" Sunny picks "I hate you. You're like everyone back in school, they always liked picking on me" .
"Just having some fun, but you have to admit that was pretty funny snoring" Sunny poked "Says you" Chelsea shoots "Besides I'm pretty sure that crying that you do when sleep speaks volumes".
Sunny's mood quickly changes "What did you say...?
"You heard me. Eonni! Eonni! Eomma! Eomma!".
She grits her teeth.
"Sounds like-!
"SHUT UP!".
Sunny and Chelsea just stared at each other.
Sunny calmly walked towards her. She grabbed her by the collar of her shirt and put her against a lamp post. She pulls out her switchblade. The blade flicks out "You're not going to do it" Chelsea looked into her eyes "It's not in you to do it". Sunny growled slightly, she puts the blade back into her pocket. She let her go and walked back to the trailer.
"What's the matter...? Can't take a joke...?" Chelsea whispered. Sunny stops.
Her mind plays back that voice from that time long ago in juvie.
"Where did hear you that line?" she looks backed at Chelsea "What? It's just a line, besides why do you care?". The way Sunny looked at her, almost as if a ghost from another time came back to haunt her. She saw her face. That half toothless smile that hick would give her every time she saw her. Those green eyes of hers. The way her and her punk ass posse nearly killed her in that hallway. "Jessica..." she breathed raggedly "What? I think you got me confused with someone else". Sunny starts to come back to her "S-Sunny?
Chelsea felt scared "You-You-You...I killed you-I fucking killed you!" Sunny angrily shouts "Sunny I don't what you're talking about!" Chelsea put her hands out "I'm going to kill you again you hick fuck!".
She slammed Chelsea onto the ground "Sunny please! It's me!". Sunny pulled out her blade and put it towards her neck, ready to cut her throat "You should have learned your place back in the hospital wing! I'm going to do it right this time!".
Chelsea put her hands on her face "Stop! Stop! Sunny! Sunny! It's me!". Her eyes widen in shock and horror at what nearly happened. "What the fuck?" Sunny backed away, her mood changes back to normal. "I'm sorry...I'm sorry..." she felt scared, the ghost from that moment came to get her "Just relax" Chelsea carefully got back up "I'm sorry..." Sunny quickly ran back to the trailer.
Chelsea looked stunned but then remembered something. That thing from her file. The killing of skank. The light flickered. She almost looked exactly like her.
"God...".
Jessica was her name.
A ghost from a horrible past.
