WCTR NEWS

Good evening. This is Lianne Forget on WCTR news. Police have had no leads as to why the shooting occurred a week ago in Las Venturas. All that is about to change. Police have recently apprehended a suspect who may have information in the events of the shooting and are currently going under intense interrogation.

Crime rates in San Andreas have skyrocketed at an all time high. There have been a number of reported shootings and robberies all throughout the state. One of our reporters, Wil Wheaton has disappeared. We sent him down to witness some of the crime going on down in Los Santos. This is the last message we received from him.

"Hello this is Wil Wheaton. Right now im in the middle of a gang shootout. Things in Los Santos have been falling apart and it seems as if nobody is doing nothing about it. Whoa! I just saw a man get shot in the forehead ! This is amazing! Wha... what the hell! Wait no. Holy Sh..."

In other news, the multi billion dollar Zaibatsu Corporation are suspected of dealing in narcotics trade and money laundering. Action reporter Alice Whitley has recently taken photos of what seems to be a Zaibatsu pharmaceutical truck filled with kilos of heroin. Seeking to find the truth, we got ourselves in touch with one of the high officials, Richard Kestner.

"Zaibatsu has never been involved with any criminal activity whatsoever and the photographs that have been taken with our trucks shipping illegal drugs, are nothing more than elaborate fakes."

Well that's all of the news that we have for today. This is Lianne Forget on WCTR news.

Chapter 3

The Master plan

Tommy sat at a round table with 4 of his business associates; Lisa Carvier, Danny Boyd, Jacod Howe, and Thomas Deckland.. Each one of them held a position in Vice City's underworld and the underworld was held altogether by Tommy Vercetti

"Well, business is booming. We've gained control of both imports and exports of drugs into and out of Vice. " Said Danny

"Business is booming of course, but business could be way better" Said Tommy

"What are you getting to Mr. Vercetti?" Asked Lisa

"What Im trying to say is that we can gain a little more if we expand our authority across state lines." Answered Tommy

"Sounds interesting, but where to? There's many different places. How about Carcer City?" Asked Jacob.

Tommy shook his head. "No. Not enough competition and way too small of a city."

"Liberty City?" Asked Lisa

"Hell no. That place is an accident waiting to happen. Crime rates have skyrocketed there and that would be bad for business. A good choice, but way too much of a risk." Answered Tommy

"What other option do we have?" Asked Danny

Tommy rose up out of his chair, took a tourist map out of his pocket, and threw it in the middle of the table.

"San Andreas. I hear that place is a gold mine. Drugs and money flow in and out of that place like water. I have a contact there who knows things and can get us in. The stakes are high, but its well worth it." Said Tommy

"There will be lots of competition." Said Lisa

Tommy walked around the table.

"Fuck competition. We go there, make some alliances, gain a little territory for ourselves, and take the profit. Simple."

Tommy stood behind Thomas Deckland's Chair.

"Oh yeah we take out the pricks who stand in our way."

Tommy drew his pistol and fired into the back of Thomas' head.

"Oh don't worry. Our partner Thomas here is an undercover detective for the VCPD. For the past few years he's been on our case."

Tommy bent down and opened his shirt revealing a microphone. He then pulled it out and spoke into it.

"Your little detective is dead. You can go ahead and bring in reinforcements. By the time you guys get here we'll be long gone." Said Tommy

"So which one of us will go down there?" Asked Jacob

"None of you will. All of you will stay down here and keep things steady and rolling. Im gonna head down there myself. Book me a flight to San Andreas for next week.

Claude drove down the streets of Aspatra with the police hot on his trail. The last mission he took involved killing a man who was under witness protection. Claude was a wanted man all over Liberty City. Not just the police wanted him dead. Gangs and criminal organizations wanted his head as well.

Liberty City wasn't really a safe place for him to live anymore so he decided that it was time for him to leave. He had to get to the Escobar International Airport. He was driving fast across the bridge that linked both Staunton Island and Shoreside Vale. Luckily for him, the bridge disconnected leaving the cops at one end and him at the other.

Driving into the parking lot at the airport, Claude grabbed his gym bag full of cash and guns, and quickly walked inside.

"Where to?" He thought.

Looking around, he finally laid eyes of an advertising sign that showed the state of San Andreas. That place brought back many memories. The day he made his first murder, the day he got his tounge sliced off for killing the leader of a organization, the day he met Catalina. Looking at the flight schedule, the plane heading to San Andreas was departing in the next hour.

"Time to return." Thought Claude
