Chapter 3 --- Escape to Vice City
John solemnly drove the mafia sentinel towards his destination. He looked in the rear view mirror and eyed the two-mafia thugs that had been sent with him. They quietly sat in the back with their shotguns across their laps. John's instructions were clear and simple he was to kill the three-triad warlords that were meeting in Portland Harbor. The two other guys were sent along to make sure John did the job but John knew Toni to well. He knew that after he killed the triad warlords these two would kill him.
John had to find a way out. Suddenly as if his prayers were answered a taxi car passed a red light and smashed straight into the black mafia sentinel. The taxi had hit the side of the sentinel and created a loud noise of metal smashing against metal. The windows were smashed and glass broke all around John. Behind him John could hear the two thugs scream in pain as glass shattered across their faces and somehow one of the shotguns fired off which sent a spray of blood onto the leather seats.
Blurry-eyed John realized that this was his chance to escape. He pushed open the door and at first fell to his knees. He was still in shock from the hit but he shook the dizziness away stood up and sprinted away from the car.
John wasn't going any certain place he just ran and ran until he reached the Callahan Bridge. John sat down on a wooden bench and panicked. What was he going to do? He couldn't stay in Liberty or else he would be caught and killed by Toni. John needed a way out. Suddenly a name came to his mind, Joey Thompson. Joey Thompson had been a friend of John's when he was a cop in Vice City. John and Bill had been transferred to Liberty but Joey stayed in Vice.
John hailed a cab and told the driver to head to Francis International Airport. As John arrived at the airport in Shore side Vale the sky clouded over and rain started to pour down. He paid the driver of the cab then ran into the airport bought a one-way ticket to vice city then went to the nearest tollbooth. John picked up the phone and hit zero. "Operator, can I help you?" "Yes, could you connect me to Joey Thompson in Vice City?" There was a pause then the operator spoke, "One moment please." As John waited he took out the ticket he had just bought looked it over, then slipped it back into his pocket.
John looked up and suddenly froze. Outside talking to the cab driver that had just driven him here were three men in black suits and one of them was Toni. John dropped the phone and made a run for terminal 56. Behind him John heard Toni, "Stop John you'll never get away from me!"
John's heart pounded in his chest and people watched as he sprinted through the airport with three men chasing him. He made it to the terminal just as the woman at the desk was announcing, "Flight 23 at terminal 56 is now loading." John came up to the gate and quickly pushed the ticket into the woman's hand.
"Thank you sir, have a nice flight." John looked at her then said, "I'm sure I will." John walked up the ramps, which lead to the plane. He only looked back once to see Toni and his thugs watch in grim disdain as he escaped. Then Toni yelled something, "I'll find you John, because no one betrays Toni Cipriani!"
