"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU THICKHEADS?" screamed Giorgio Folleni, spit flying out of his mouth.
"Sir, we were getting killed! We'd lost eight men and two Kuruma cars already! You told us to keep away if we had to," one of the men replied.
"But I did not give the order for you to lead those Triad pieces of shit here! So much for a secret now!" roared Folleni.
"I gave it a perfect command, ever since JD O'Toole gave us information this afternoon, about two possible Triad threats that are potent enough for the decimation of any Mafia family in Liberty City. I gave you the clear order of sending hit squads out, which you did, but with your incompetency, instead, you have failed to kill the two, and INSTEAD, YOU LEAD THEM HERE! All the fucking Triads in America are gonna show up now!"
The man could not argue. Instead, Giorgio Folleni had to now set up a new plan and see what could happen.
"Wake up, sleepyhead!" shouted Jason to an asleep John.
It was getting up to 8:30 now, and Jason was up and ready for to press some information out of somebody else-possibly even Joey Leone, Salvatore's son. It was a risky option, and they could bluff hard enough to see what was going on.
"Wha-?" began John as he forced himself to wake up.
"Come on, can't remember you being like this. Get up; we gotta hit some more places today. We're talking about your uncle as well, you know." Jason grumbled.
"Oh fine." John muttered, picking himself up and dressing, then reaching into his briefcase and pulling out a HK-MP5/10.
"Where the fuck did you get that?" gasped Jason.
"Managed to sneak it past the guards. There was a random diversion, the guard rushed off, and I gave him my ticket, and then escaped." John smirked as he loaded up the powerful 9mm bullets.
"You could have taken it out yesterday. You used two good clips of my MicroMP5 yesterday."
"Didn't think about it then."
Jason shrugged, and he decided to quickly drive over to AmmuNation to get some MicroMP5 ammo while John took his time to eat breakfast and such.
Against his better judgement, Jason decided to buy a regular MP5 instead, like John's, deciding that despite it not being as light and compact as the micro version; its power would be well worth the risk. He was benefiting either way anyway, despite the rather expensive price tag. Once he got back, he quickly loaded the MicroMP5 clips into the regular one, and they walked towards their Admiral.
"When do you think Suzie can do his work?" John asked.
"Hopefully, he can get to us tonight. But maybe tomorrow." Jason replied.
John nodded, as they drove through the morning streets of Liberty City. It was still rather hazy, and it looked like it was going to snow sometime in the afternoon.
"Well, who do you think we should hit?" John asked.
"I think we should go for Salvatore's precious son. See how he defends his information if they're hitting. We can then make sure just in case Suzie got mislead or something." Jason replied.
"CJ said something about Joey having a car garage in Trenton. Let's check that place out."
They drove over to Trenton, and soon found it: it was about the only place that had any sounds of repairing in the whole area.
"You ready for this?" Jason asked.
"Yeah. I don't think Joey's gonna give up as meekly as O'Toole though." John said, taking out his MP5.
They headed inside the garage, and found the man checking the framework of an Elegant.
"Don't move!" shouted John, pointing his MP5 at Joey Leone.
Joey Leone calmly raised his hands, looking as if he thought all this was a joke.
"What do you want?" asked Joey.
"You're going to tell us what's going on. Did you hear about ANYTHING involving a hit on a Triad fish factory in July last year?"
Joey smirked and he replied coolly:
"Nope. You have the wrong man."
"And why should we believe you?" asked Jason.
"Because you have to." Joey replied, suddenly pulling out a Desert Eagle and pointing it at Jason.
The door rushed open and three Mafia men charged in, equipped with AK-47s. Two more men followed them, holding shotguns. Jason and John were outnumbered, and outgunned. They quickly dropped their weapons.
"Huh. So you Triad freaks think you can mess with us? We may not have murdered your two precious…oh yes, we know. The Folleni Mafia made the good deed of letting us spot them in their lovely new shiny pieces of scrap metal, fleeing the scene." Joey sneered.
Jason didn't respond, but he had another trick up his sleeve. John was thinking the same.
"Hey, check it there, look; the Diablos are trying to jack one of your cars." John called, pointing at an imaginary Diablo Stallion parked outside.
Joey took the bait and he looked outside, allowing Jason and John quickly dived behind one of the cars, retrieving their weapons as they slid.
"What? Mother-"Joey shouted, firing his Desert Eagle and a .50 round bullet cracked into the frame of a Sentinel.
Jason and John opened fire on two Mafia men with shotguns simultaneously, and bullets whizzed through the air. The two Mafia men didn't hold off the assault fast enough and they collapsed onto the ground. As they fell, Jason and John ducked behind cover as they heard several bullets impact into the car they were hiding behind.
"What the fuck! Idiots! I spent two hours fixing that car!" Joey screamed furiously.
Jason and John ran across to another car, and they dived and slid along the ground underneath another hail of bullets. A misplaced shot impacted on one more of the Mafia, blowing his head off.
Jason and John ran for the exit, and they headed outside, finding a Perennial that was unlocked. The windows were open as well, so John dived into the driver's seat, quickly followed by Jason. As John forced the ignition to go, Jason ducked out and began popping caps at the remaining Mafia men rushing outside. Joey was at the entrance, calling somebody. The Perennial's wheels gave out a squeal, and it set off.
Joey had obviously called in back-up, and the new Mafia Sentinels slid in to make a roadblock, only for John to plough straight through them. It was a thrilling chase. John took them all over Portland, and somehow managed to keep control, despite the Perennial taking its toll heavily with caps constantly being popped at it. But somehow, his amazing driving kept the two of them alive, even surviving through several P.I.T. manoeuvres that John barely got away from.
Amazingly, John was losing a few. Out of the three Mafia Sentinels giving chase, one had been outdone trying to keep up with the furious pace set by John, and had been turned into a crushed piece of metal. The other two both had their dings and bumps on them.
But John couldn't hold the Perennial together any longer. As they raced through Chinatown, John started to lose control.
"Shit! That's a ramp up to the trains!" Jason yelled.
And what was worse for them, a train just happened to be blazing through just then.
"Fuck! Dive!" John shouted.
As the Perennial hit the ramp, Jason and John dived out, rolling and recovering quickly enough to see the Perennial fly onto the tracks, followed by the Mafia Sentinels, whose drivers were still oblivious to the fact that the Perennial was empty. The train crashed into the three vehicles at top speed, sending them all flying off the tracks and into several different places: one Mafia Sentinel was sent flying into a building: the other one landed in some bushes, and the Perennial itself got caught up in a traffic jam, and slid across, smashing into a series of cars.
Jason and John were still puffing heavily as they picked themselves up.
"Man that was some crazy shit. Seems like Liberty City's trying to set us up for an action movie." John gasped.
"We better go back to get the Admiral, and watch out for Leone as well." Jason said.
They walked back to their abandoned Admiral, watching carefully for any more Mafia men.
As they drove back to Jason's apartment, Jason wondered if what Joey had said was a bluff, or if it was true.
The answer came in Suzie's phone call later that night.
End note: Okay, okay, real cliffie, I know, but you probably know it already. Getting very close to the end of this fic, trying to phase out the last few chapters, or to just finish it bang in the next two chapters. Thanks for all the reviews and support!
