As I cruised down the main highway of Staunton island I felt alive again knowing that just a few hours ago I was in cuffs for life and now I was free to wreak havoc on society again. As I pressed the gas pedal more I felt the wind in my hair and knew that only good things were to come out of this city.
I finally reached the end of the road and looked around for the building I was headed for. I stared up and down the street and spotted the building I was looking for. I made a left and backed into a personal parking spot next to the entrance. I shut the car down and got out then walked into the main office.
The lobby was empty there wasn't anyone behind the front desk either. I walked up and rang the bell. I continued to do so until someone finally emerged from the back room.
"May I help you?" the lady asked.
"Yes I'm looking for a friend of mine I believe he owns this establishment."
"Are you speaking of Mr. Love?" the recipient asked me.
"Yes that's the man I'm looking for"
"I'm sorry but he's currently busy with important business"she said.
"That's no problem I'm willing to wait"
"I'm sorry but Mr. Love does not accept visitors without an appointment"
"Just tell him that Mr. Metziani is here to see him."
The recipient expressed a rather puzzled look on her face. "Just tell him he'll understand" I said as I sat down and picked up a magazine that was lying on an end table next to it. As I buried my nose in the articles of the magazine I realized that the recipient was still looking at me with the same puzzled look. "Please go tell him, It's rater important." She seemed to snap out of her daze and left the room. I waited another five minutes till she came back and said to follower her.
I put the magazine back down and proceeded as she said. As I followed her past the countless offices in the building, she led me to a glass door leading out and said "He's in his garden." I passed through the doorway into a lush green garden with many plants a few trees and a small stream with fish in it. I moved around a tree to see Donald Love doing exercises led by an old Asian man. They finished and bowed then he turned his attention to me, as I walked up to him. The old man left the yard and Donald said to me
"Well well well look whose free."
"No one can stop me"
"I should have known that they couldn't"
"Yea no matter what you do I just never go away"
"So what's you business with me?"
"I'm looking for the locations some of my old real-estate"
"Ohhhh that's not good" he said with a grim face.
"why?"
"After I herd that you were busted I severed all ties that I had with you and sold all the buildings
you were renting from me. You have to understand It was purely business and worry that the authorities would link me to your actions."
"Yea I understand I was afraid that you might have done that. Is there anything that you have left?" I said as I scratched my chin
"No I sold all the property associated with you and your business."
"Ok but I still need at lest one place that's discreet where I can crash and lie low."
"Well since you're a major reason that I ever ended up this rich I guess that I could let you use the storage building in the park. It has ample room for just about anything including you and your business"
"I appreciate it, and don't worry I'll pay you for the use and at some point I'll buy it lock, stock, and barrel."
"Just make sure that no one knows that I know you personally I have a reputation."
"Don't worry I make a point of staying away from my employers as often as possible. But there is one last thing I need"
"Money right?"
"Is it that obvious?"
"I can only afford to let you use the storage house in the park"
"Know anyone I can work for then?"
"Yes, go down to the construction site not that far from the park and you should find someone who has work for you."
"Thanks." I said as I began to walk away
"But be careful that's dangerous territory, your libel to get shot down there so stay as discrete as
possible."
"Right". I walked out of the garden and the Love Media building back to my car.
I pulled out and turned toward the park. I speed down the highway and fishtailed onto the dirt road in front of the storage building. I parked in the garage and hoped out of the banshee then locked the doors and closed the massive metal roller doors. I looked around decided that I needed a gun if I wanted to go to get some work in case things went sour. So I decided to do some non-legitimate taxi work.
I walked out onto the side walk and picked an empty liquor bottle off the street and hailed a taxicab. When one pulled over I very casually opened the passenger door broke the bottle on the side of the car, thrust it at the driver and said. "Get out or I'll gut you like a fish!" Immediately he knew that if he didn't get out I would do what I said. I pulled myself over into the driver seat after the cabby got out and ran screaming. I took off just driving to look for a fair.
After about 3 hours of work and 600 of pure profit the car began to run out of gas. I pulled over and ditched the cab. After checking another phonebook inside a restaurant I walked down the street headed for the Amu-Nation and a gun. I walked into the shop and told the man at the register "I need a gun no questions and I have cash" The man looked around to make sure that no one was looking. After being convinced that the coast was clear he reached under the counter and put a "Desert Eagle" and said 500. I reached into my pocket and put all my cash on the counter "I want ammo too". After counting the money he reached back under the counter again and pulled out 5 clips of ammo put them down next to the gun and said "deal". I grabbed the gun and said "got a holster?" He reached into a cabinet and pulled out a chest strap. "Free, no one buys those any way." he said as he threw it at me. "Thanks I said as I put it on and strapped the gun in. I left the shop as I shoved the clips of ammo into my pockets. Now I was ready for some real work. I headed north toward the construction site.
