The Fall of The Danni Empire
Chapter 9
Danni looked over at Happiness Island as Pierre continued to drive the boat towards Algonquin. She looked over to Heather, who was looking out to the horizon.
"Something wrong?" she asked putting her hand on Heather's knee.
"Oh... nothing... just thinking about what Janice told me..." she replied silently. Danni looked over at Pierre in concern.
"What did she tell you?" she asked with fear in her voice.
Heather sighed and looked into Danni's eyes.
"She told me Oscar wasn't the one who killed David." Danni gasped and stood up. She put her left hand on Pierre's shoulder and her right on her chest.
"Who did she say did it?"
"I don't know, you bursted in before she told me." Danni sighed in relief and sat back down. Heather looked at her strangely for a second, before turning away and looking at the horizon again and thought about her husband.
Meanwhile on Happiness Island, Niko, Luis and Janice prepared for their break-in.
"Alright so we're all clear on the plan?" Luis asked stepping away from a map they 'borrowed' from a tourist. Janice sighed and also stepped away.
"I say this is a waist of time. The LCPD won't give up looking for two escaped prisoners." Janice said unenthusiastically. Luis ignored her and looked at Niko. Niko was silent for a moment before he stood up tall and looked over at the Statue of Happiness.
"I say we go for it." Niko finally said. Luis nodded at his decision and looked at Janice.
"Well I guess... if it's for taking down Danni then we'll give it a shot." Luis and Niko nodded at her and looked over at Alderney Penitentiary.
"First we need to go to East Hook, borrow my friend Brucie's helicopter and car." Niko said as he walked over to the boat they paddled there on.
After a tiring paddle from Happiness Island to Algonquin, then a car ride to East Hook, they met up with Brucie.
"Yo NB whats up!" he yelled as Niko walked in the door, Luis and Janice following behind him.
"Hey Brucie man, we need a favour." Niko replied giving him a high five and pulling him in for a short man hug.
"Anything bro!" he yelled looking over at Luis and raised his eyebrow. "Hey your that guy that works for Gay Tony... you rolled with Mori for a bit?" Luis looked at him and nodded. Brucie nodded back, recalling the time they stole 3 cars together.
"Brucie, can we borrow your chopper and a modded 4-door?" Niko asked. Brucie's attention switched to Niko and he smiled.
"Sure bro! You neeeeed to fly in style! And if you need modded cars, you came to the right guy." he said walking over to a car which was covered by a brown tarp. He pulled it off to reveal a bright yellow Dillatante with a spoiler and nitro boosts attached to the back.
"It's perfect." Janice said walking to the left checking out the car.
"Of course it is, I designed it!" Brucie yelled. Niko laughed and put his hand on his shoulder.
"Thanks man." he said as they opened the garage door. As the door slowly began to rise, the noticed someone standing behind it. It fully opened to reveal Heather Blake, standing there with her hands behind her back.
"Oh shit." Luis said as he pulled out his pistol and Niko and Janice soon followed. Heather put up her hands and walked forward.
"I'm not here on business, I'm here to talk to Janice." she said looking at her. Janice lowered her gun and looked at her strangely.
"Yes?" she asked holding her gun at her thigh. Heather put her hands together and cringed her eyes.
"Who killed David?" she asked. Janice raised her eyebrow and looked over at Luis and Niko who still hadn't lowered their guns.
"It was Pierre, David was investigating Danni's movements and was one day away from arresting her, so she sent Pierre to kill him and place the blame on his partner, Oscar." The garage went silent and Heather let out a shocked sigh.
"You're lying." she said beginning to cry. "You're lying!" she yelled pulling out a sub machine gun.
Luis raised his gun to her head.
"Drop it bitch." he said calmly. She complied with his demand and dropped her gun, she also fell to her knees.
"I'm not lying Heather, Danni told me everything." Heather broke down crying and looked up at Janice in thankfulness. After a moment of silence, she got up and left the garage. Niko and Luis put away their guns and walked out of the garage.
"Well that was strange..." Brucie said getting into the car and starting the engine.
Janice, Luis and Niko also got in the car, with Niko behind the wheel after Brucie walked up to the heli-pad.
"Alright NB! I'll be over the prison after you text me. See you later bro!" he yelled as he watched them drive away. After a while of silence between them, Luis felt he had to ask something.
"So why did you get involved with Danni and her enterprise of murderers and psychopaths?" Janice sighed and looked out the window.
"My family was in some financial difficulties and Danni pays really well." she answered. Luis nodded in understanding as the crossed the Algonquin bridge.
"But Danni was gullible enough to tell me what Pierre did to Heather's husband."
"Danni really seems focused on not getting caught, but I've never seen any reports about her on Weasel or the Liberty Bell." Niko contributed as he continued driving
"That's because she bribes or assassinates the reporters who are investigating her." Janice answered. Luis reloaded his assault rifle and looked to see where they were, they were in the booth tunnel.
"This breakout isn't going to be easy, what makes you think Elizabeta and Gerald will help us?" Luis asked. Niko thought about it, perhaps they won't help them out.
"It doesn't matter, we need more firepower." Janice said.
They arrived at the entrance to the prison, checked their weapons for a final time and killed the two officers guarding the entrance. Janice took out her grapple hook and hooked onto the wall and climbed over. Niko and Luis heard a whole magazine being emptied on some police officers before she opened the main gate to let them inside. Luis and Niko went to the right towards the men's section, while Janice went to the right.
Many police officers tried to stand in their way, but they strategically took them down. Once Niko and Luis reached Gerald's cell, he stood up out of his bed and looked over at Niko.
"Is that you Niko?" he asked. Luis took out a key he stole from one of the murdered officers and opened his cell. Niko chucked Gerald a hand gun and walked away with Luis.
"Janice probably has Elizabeta by now, lets get moving." Gerald slowly followed and looked at his hand gun. He gritted his teeth and pointed his gun at Niko.
"Niko!" he yelled. Niko stopped and turned around to see him aiming his hand gun at his head .
"What are you doing Gerald?" he asked putting his hands up.
"I know what you did, you killed Katie!" he yelled. Niko raised his eyebrow and looked shocked at him.
"I didn't kill her Gerald, it was Jimmy Pegorino, but I got vengeance on him." Gerald continued to grit his teeth and grip his gun tight.
"You liar!" he yelled.
Luis stood in front of Niko.
"Lets all calm down now, we don't have time to argue." he said putting his arms out between them. Gerald sighed and put his gun down.
"First Derrick and now Katie... Ma must not know what to do." Gerald followed Niko and Luis to meet with Janice. When they reached the entrance they noticed Janice walking to them with Elizabeta walking behind her smiling.
"Niko!" she called out waving. "I knew someone would come for me!" she ran over and put her arm around his shoulder.
"So shall we get out of here?" she said reloading her sub machine gun. Janice walked ahead of the group and got into the golden Dilettante.
"You coming or what?" she asked as the police sirens began to get louder. They all ran and jumped into the car.
Janice slammed her foot down and the car sped off, away from Alderney Correctional Facility.
