"Man, what did you do to piss off Vagos?" Lamar asked Franklin. "Word's on the street that Martinez Ludraco wants to find the people who made him lose money. How much did you make that shit lose?"
Franklin smiled. "Including Vagos's allies, we made them lose almost two million. 1.9 million, to be closer." Lamar's eyes widened at the number. "Holy shit, man. No wonder why Martinez's pissed. I would be pissed if I lost two million dollars."
Then Lamar got serious. "You've gotta be careful, man. Pissing the Vagos off like that. It won't be long before they identify you and your homies and start coming after you."
Nodding, Franklin pat Lamar's back. "I'll be careful, man. You should be, too." His phone rang and he picked it up. After a few seconds, Franklin hung up.
"Fuck, gotta go. Lester says Vagos and Merryweather have surrounded his factory in La Mesa." Lamar followed Franklin. "I want to go, too. After all, your problem is mine."
They got into Franklin's green Bagger and sped off to Darnell Bros.
When they got there, only Gustavo was there. Michael and Trevor were still on the way. Even alone, Gustavo had been managing pretty well. Franklin and Lamar aided Gustavo in clearing the attackers out.
Once Michael and Trevor arrived, they all were wrecking hell on the attackers. After the attackers were all gone, they entered Darnell Bros.
Lester was worried. "We have to burn this place down, again! Goddamnit! Remember how much I had to spend to build this place up again, after we burned it down the first time?"
"We have no choice, Lester," Michael said. Lester nodded sadly. "Help me pour the shit, please."
After pouring the gasoline, Lester set the factory on fire. He then got into his Asea and drove home. Lamar made his own way home while the others gathered at Michael's house.
"Now, Lester sent me the address of one of Martinez's lieutenants earlier," Michael informed. "The lieutenant, Hughes, lives in Tinsel Towers. Apartment 31. We could disguise as policemen to arrest him. If we still have the policeman uniforms and police cars."
In the early evening, Michael, Franklin and Gustavo pulled up outside Tinsel Towers in a Police Cruiser, dressed in police uniform. Together, the three went up to Apartment 31 and Franklin knocked on its door. At the same time, Michael and Gustavo pulled out their pistols.
"Who is it?" a voice called out from inside.
Franklin asked, "Is Hughes inside?" The voice answered, "I'm Hughes. Why are you looking for me?"
"Open up the door, man."
There was a click as Hughes unlocked the door. Hughes opened the door to find three policemen. "What can I do for you, officers?" Hughes smiled, with a slightly nervous look.
"This is the LSPD. You are under arrest for suspicion of committing multiple crimes. You are to fucking remain silent. Anything you say could, and will, be used against you in court," Michael said the line he had memorised. Gustavo grabbed Hughes and turned him around forcefully before handcuffing him with a pair of stolen handcuffs.
Hughes was brought out of the building and brought into the Police Cruiser. As they walked, Hughes was saying, "You are making a goddamn mistake. I'm innocent! I'll sue you pricks, you'll see."
Gustavo produced a blindfold and blindfolded Hughes before the Police Cruiser drove away.
Hughes found himself in a plain room, which he thought was an interrogation room, but it was actually a room in a building that Gustavo owned. Hughes found his hand handcuffed to a bench. Michael and Gustavo were sitting on the other side of the table.
"We know who you are, Hughes. You are a lieutenant for the Vagos OG Martinez Ludraco," Michael said. Hughes quickly hid the surprise on his face. "Who the hell is Martinez Ludraco?"
Gustavo slammed the table in mock annoyance. "Don't play games, Hughes. If you piss us off, we can get you jailed for, what, thirty years?" Hughes rolled his eyes. "Yeah, sure."
Michael sneered. "Running an illegitimate business, robbery, these are just some of the crimes you have committed. And we have evidence, too."
Hughes started to get nervous. "What do you want?"
The two 'officers' smiled at each other. Gustavo said, "Let's make a deal, Hughes. If you give us information we want about the OG Martinez Ludraco, we'll let you go. Do you accept the deal?"
Shrugging his shoulders, Hughes said, "I don't have a choice."
"Why did OG Ludraco make a deal with Merryweather Security?" Gustavo asked. Hughes's eyes widened. "How do you cops know about the deal? I thought it was only between us and Merryweather!"
Michael smiled coldly at Hughes. "We have arrested a man named Alex Sayken, a shareholder and a planner for Merryweather. He told us about the deal with Vagos. Now, speak."
"He wanted allies to attack The Families. You cops probably know we and them are enemies."
Gustavo and Michael nodded in agreement. Michael then asked, "Where is Martinez?"
Hughes shook his head. "I don't know." Gustavo pulled his pistol out and aimed it at Hughes. "Do you need some help remembering?"
"Fineā¦fine! He has three houses. One is a trailer in Sandy Shores. The second is Apartment 11, Del Perro Heights. The third is in The Royale, Apartment 4. He should be in either the second or third one. The trailer in Sandy Shores, Martinez only uses when someone is on his tail."
Michael and Gustavo nodded at each other. Gustavo knocked Hughes unconscious and the two exited the room. Michael contacted Lester, "Lester, I need your help. Check the property records of Del Perro Heights and The Royale for me. I need to know who owns Apartment 11 in Del Perro and Apartment 4 in The Royale, thanks." At the same time, Gustavo told Franklin and Trevor, who had been waiting on the ground floor of the building, what Hughes had said.
While waiting for Lester to find out the things they needed, Gustavo and Michael changed out of their police uniforms. The four then prepared for Lester's call. Fifteen minutes later, Lester rang Michael.
"The owner of Apartment 11 of Del Perro Heights is a man named Martin Leyes. Apartment 4, The Royale, is a guy named Mark Langton. You notice the first names start with a M, and the last names start with a L. All pseudonyms of Martinez Ludraco."
Michael informed them, "It's confirmed. Apartment 11, Del Perro Heights and Apartment 4 of The Royale. Trevor and I will take Del Perro, Gustavo and Franklin, The Royale. Let's move."
