Chapter 5: Plans
Four months later.
"Cesar, you ready?" she spoke through her mic. "All clear her Jen." he replied. At the top of the canyon ridge of el Castillo el Diablo, Jen took her aim. The small canyon where Cj and Tommy had been barley kept alive by a pyschotic doctor. Jen loaded her Silenced Auto Rifle. Wrapped around her waist tightly was a white bandage. She looked through her scope at the small abandonded town of shacks and huts. "Cesar be ready for the reinforcments, and make sure Woozie is ready aswell." she said. "Yea i got it. Its nearing two o'clock, he'll be here and minute." Cesar replied over the mic. They had been planning this rescue attempt for months now. After tracking Salvatores cars to the small village, they found out that around two once a week, Mondays. At this two o'clock rendevous, Tommy and Cj were brought out to see the sun. Salvatore was trying to keep them alive. Making them suffer.
"Here comes the car Jen, hope those hitman skils arent rusty." Cesar said. Jen took aim and watched as the two mafia sentinels cruise in and park. In one car Salvatore emerged, the other, Alex. "Steady...steady." she paced herself. Salvatore entered the hut as Alex stood guard. For fifteen minutes Jen waited as the sun scorched down on her. She felt the sweat dripping off her face.
Just as she was about to take a break, the break she knew she shouldnt do, the door opened. Her hand slipped off the handle and she struggled to re-aim. In an instant she refocused and saw Tommy adn Cj re-emerge, starved and sicken. She aimed over Salvatores head. She felt herself leaning forward. She could feel the suspense. The tension. Then she heard the click. Suddenly in iew, a red dot appeared over Salvatres forehead. She had leaned on the laser trigger. Alex noticed almost imediatly, but Jen took her shot. A three shot burst unleashed, grazing Salvatores head while the other two shots hit the shack.
"What the fuck! Kid shoot that bitch!" Salvatore screamed running for cover. He jumped behind the two sentinels. Alex pulled out dual pistols and gave a barrage at the cnayon top. The bullets hit right below her and caused the chunk of rock she was on to collapse. "Cesar now!" Jen screamed as she slid down the canyon side. She reached bottom and dropped her rifle for a SMG with a silencer. As she dived for a small boulder the canyon became surrounded by incoming black cars. the slowed to a stop, closing off all exits of the canyon. Out of each car stepped four men, Chinese holding SMGs. "Woozie came through." Jen thought to herself. She glanced over to her right, near the end of the cnayon as a small opening in the cars parted. And from it emerged a lowrider blazing into the crowd. It pulled to a stop near Jen and she rose. "I suggest you order all your men to lower their weapnos Salvatore, this can be done easy, or we can kill you." she announced
Alex glanced at Salvatore, whose face had turned blood red in anger. He slowly nodded. Alex dropped his pistols where he stood, as did the other 3 mafia men. Jen and Cesar walked toward the center of town, still surrounded by the chinese. Salvatore stood and walked next to Alex. As they approached, Cesar broke from the two man group with Jen and got Tommy and Cj and worked on getting them back to the Blade lowrider.
"Tell me. Who the fuck are you?" Salvatore said between grit teeth. "Just a hitwoman." Jen replied. She saw Alex give a slight smirk. "What buisness do you have with me, or these men. "Well. I suppose im still under contract, so theyre my boss, and my money makers." Jen said. "Well, im sorry to regret, youll be on the six o'clock news." as he said this Alex kicked the SMG out of her hand and kicked her backwards knocking her threw on of the doors in the shack.
The next thing they heard was a hail of gunfire. Jen looked up just in time to see Alex run after her in the shack. As he id, she back rolled on to her feet and kicked him in the stomach knocking him onto a table. She ran for him and as she did, he twirled out of the way and held her on the table. "Give up?" Alex said panting and smiling. She quickly swung her foot up and hit him in the crotch knocking him back. He fell backwards onto the ground and she quickly followed on top of himholding him down. "Whats the matter, you lose a little strength?" She said smiling holding him down. He gave a small laugh, combined of humor and pain. "Why didnt you shoot me when you had the chances?" Jen asked. " Iv got morals. And shottin women doesnt fly, especially one as good lookin as you." he replied smiling. "Bad time to try a pick up line." Jen said back sternly. "I know, dont all the gunfire turn you on?" Alex said smiling. Jen paused for a moment before smiling. She moved closer and pressed her lips against his as they kissed hard for a few seconds before he heard about 8 rapid clicks. He opened up his eyes just as she released him from her lips and was miling. He looked at his wrist which were cuffed to a nearby latch on the floor. By the time he looked back she was heading out the door. "Damnit." he said smiling.
Outside one mafia sentinel was missing, the remaining one was layered with bullet holes and was smoking. She looked around. It looked as if there were no hinese casualties, although two mafia men lay bledding in the desert sand. At the top of the ridge Cesar was flagging her down.
"Iv got to get these boys to a doctor, theyre in horrible shape!" Cesar said as she approached. "What about Salvatore?" Jen asked. "As soon as the bullets started flyinghe drove the car outta here himself, with one of his men holding onto the car." Cesar said. "Its not over. Head to the airport ill meet you there." Jen said. "Bring Cj and Tommy with you. Salvatore will have his dogs watching the hospital records." Jen said. Cesar nodded and drove off. Jen headed to a nearby black Alpha. Before she drove out of the canyon, she glanced back at the shack, where Alex stood leaning agasint the doorway smiling. He gave a slight wave. She smiled back and gave him a kissing motion before she sped out of the canyon.
She pulled onto the highway just as the rain began. She leaned on her hand for a second and closed her eyes. Is Salvatore got away for good, she would have to leave San Andreas. She would have to start a new life, stat over...headlights. Headlights was all she could think before the car began its series of rolls down the highway and into an oncoming semi. She opened her eyes and she must have been out for a few minutes because the water had began building up in the roof aswell as blood, due to it being upside down. She looked around before seeing the truck flipped aswell. But then she remembered, a slight bump before she hit the truck, a slight, knudge. She was sideswipped into hitting the car.
How could she not have noticed she was better trained than that. She was followed from the canyon. She glanced around. Headlights stopped a few hundred yards away and from them, emerged two men. Fear set in as she scrambled for her seat belt upo0n seeing them load their clips and walking towards her. The belt wouldnt unlock. Tears boiled in her eyes as blood seeped into them from her nose and mouth. She pulled out her pistol and shot out the lock. She scrambled to get out the opposite side so as not to let the strangers know she was out. The two men approached and she kneeled behind the car. She heard their footsteps approach through the rain. The they came to a stop. The men kneeled down and looked right into Jens eyes who was looking through the oppostie window and in a milli second, two shots had been fired and the men fell back into the wet cement.
She soon got in their car and continued to the airport. Within minutes she pulled into the airport and flashed a pass that signified Woozies bribe to the watchman who then let her through. She pulled onto the airport and parked next to two Juank Airs. "What happened, you ok?" Cesar said as she approached. "im fine, how soon can we leave?" Jen replied. She looked at themen loading packages onto the plane. In one plane, Cj, Tommy, and woozie were going to be riding in. Cesar would also accompany them. Jen would be flying solo with one other pilot and the other packages. "We're ready to go in about five minutes." Cesar replied. "Make it sooner, we're gonna have cmopany, we were followed." Jen said. Soon, she was haning onto a flight handle as the planes rolled for the runway.
She watched from the front main window as Woozies plane took off, and before they were ven in the air, her plane was on its tail. The landnig gear squelled as they tok off. "Keep the planes close." Jen said over the radio. "Roger that." Cesar radioed through. Jen released her grip on the handleand sank back into the co-pilots seat. She didnt know how long they were out, but when she awoke there was a slight beeping going off. "Whats that?" Jen asked the pilot. "Theres something on radar, been following for awhile." he responded. "Cesar." she said over the radio. "Yea i know, we got it too." he reponded. "Open the loading bay doors." She walked back down the small isle to the loading bay which was slowly opening. She loked out nto the rani clouds. Freqeunt lighting strikes appeared. Then through the clouds, a small Dodo emerged. Jen grimaced. But before she could turn aruond three more planes emerged, two more Dodos, and a Beagle. "Shit." Jen said. "Pilot, do we have an explosives onh this plane?" Jen shouted. "Somewhere, check the red boxes."
Jen headed for one and cracked it open. There were explosives, but nothingbig enough to damage a plane, maybe startle them. She grabbed two grenades and pulled the pins. She had noticed the planes were gang . She slung the grenades as high as she could. As the explosion happened, the planes flew right through them, un scathed. "Goddamnit." She searched through more boxes until finally she found what she needed. A small quantity of Satchel explosives. She grabbed one and waited. The planes were nearing. Maybe two hundred yards away. Using all of her force she slung the satchel at the closest plane, the leading Dodo. She grabbed the remote and hit the button. A swilrl of fire engulfed the plane as it exploded. Nothing but a crisp flamin frame of a plane remained which kept flying for a few seconds before droppnig altitude and plumenting to the ground.
She looked around some more boxes and came upon what she loved best. A sniper rifle. She leaned on a box or a few seconds tocatch her breath, he ribs were hurting once more. She pulled up the rifle and took aim. Two Dodos and a Beagle remained. She got the pilot of one dodo in her sights and fired. The cabin was stained red and as soon as the shot entered the plane, it swooped right and cllided into the other Dodo. After the two collided a huge explosion followed shootng debirs everywher, but the Beagle came through.
She began to reload as the Beagle gained altitude to where she couldbnt see it anymore. Suddenly there was a loud crash on top of the plane. The top hatch opened and a man dressed in black with a red tie and bald head dropped in.He stood up and she noticed a barcode tattoo on the back of his head. He turned and faced her. From inside his jacket he pulled out a silenced pistol, but before he could use it Jen kicked it from his hand and then procedded with a back kick. The man seemed unphased as he recoiled and punched her in the stomach causing her to double over. While leaning over she pulled a knife from her waist but was too late, as the man wrapped a thin wire around her nek and began to strangle her.
She began losing vision but with her last strength she swung the knife back in to the mans side. He shouted and let her go. She turned around just as he pulled the knife out and threw it down. The man loked at gher with menacing eyes and took a step for her. In a split second Jen reached for what she saw hanging out of a crate and swung it. When she looked, she was holding a katana and there was a slice across the mans chest as his tie floated off his chest. he looked a little stunned but recoporated fast.
Without hesitating she swung once more cuting his chest once more, then tried for a thrid swing but was cut off by him grabbing the blade with his hands. "What the fuck are you?'' Jen stammered as blood seeped off his hand and he yanked the blade from her. A cry of pain. He pulled back and punched her in the face. She flew back against a set of crates face first. Disoriented, she opened her eyes. She heard him nearing and felt his hand grab her shoulder. As he yanked her around, she let out a bang. She had pulled a shotgun from the crate and fired a shell in the man. He stumbled back trying to grab something to stabalize hmiself as she shot him again. He neared the end of the loading dock. he looked at her and she let out one more shotgun blast knocking him out of the plane a he grabbed on to a small pack. She looked out the back and saw what he had grabbed was a parachute. Slowly the multicolored parachute faded down through the clouds.
She threw the shotgun down and began walking back to the front when she noticed the pain. The adrenaline of the fight handt given her much time to notice pain, or any injuries. She looked at her palms, two slits from the lower palm down to the middle finger and off her fingertips, she recalled, as the man grabbed the katana, he thrusted it at her, and reflexivley grabed the blade, as he yanked away. And then felt something even more disturbing, the feel of something under your skin. And then it caught her eye. A glint to her right, she glanced down towards her left shoulder to see a wire , hanging, connected to her now bloody neck. She screamed as she carefully removed the wire, as blood poured out in a steady stream. She looked around, in a daze and crumpled on to the floor next to the first aid kit. She opened the kit, slowly, losing strength, blood, and hope. INside the loaded up the syringe with 2 hits of adrenaline and winced as he needle pierced her skin. But after a second, that was gone. Eyes open, strength regained, she fitted her neck with a gauze and bandage.
She began to walk back up to the pilot when she heard a loud noise. The Beagle reappeared and this time a man was hanging out. Jen squinted trying to see what her had before she realized. "Brace for impact!" she shouted as she ran up front and grabbed the radio. "Cesar, break off break off we're going down. Land at Los Santos international and get Cj and Tommy help, but not the hospital!" Jen shouted. As she let go of the button the plane shook violently slinging her into the side. She looked back down the isle which was halfway cut off now. The edges seared by fire. A heatseeker had hit them. "Jen buckle yourself!" the pilot screamed. Jen strapped in and looked through the glass. They were heading striaght through the clouds as land came into sight. The pilot sen out a distress signal. "This is Juank Air WHYMEI69, going down just over Flint county , we need a rescue crew ASAP." he said. They were nearing trees and the plane had slightly leveled out. Slowly, the plane desened into the woods and as it did the wings were tore off by trees and braches broke through the glass. Jen closed her eyes and covered her face. She peeked between her arms and just as she did, the plane hit water.
She opened her eyes. They were n some kind of pond, the water was disgusting, brown. She looked over at the pilot. he had been impaled, a large brach went through his torso pinning him into the seat. She heard a noice, like iron bending. As she did the plane came off balance and slid further into the water and it began to fill the cabin. She unstraped herself and began swimming into the storage area. She searched around under water in the crates until she found her pistol and two clips. She swam to where the plane had been torn in two and climbed out gasping for air. She looked to the sky and saw the worst possible thing. There were about 14 parachutes descending into the woods. She had better get ready to use her three clips sparingly.
She was in for a hell of a fight.
