Ch. 1: The Next Criminal Plan

(I know this is a little weird. You might ask, why is this chapter one? Since technically each chapter I do make has two or three sagas each chapter will be a really long set of different stories all rolled into one. It'll be simple though to follow, and you'll find out why as it progresses.)

Now, here's my older bro's side of the story. His name is Mike as I just said in the beginning. From what I heard from him, when he left the army a while back, he was searching for a place where he could find Chris and me. It's been a year and then some since he was taken from us. That's when he met Shaw. Shaw of course was black and always wore that grey clothing you would were on a ski trip or something. Either way, he told Mike the only way to get by in life was to live life as a common "gangster" as he said it was. Mike could only think of it as being a criminal. He said it was the only way to live on the street. Mike then asked Shaw if he could personally follow him and take on some of his advice. Shaw agreed of course because he knew it meant he could teach him some secrets of fighting taking on other punks around the bad rough areas of Edmonton. Mike was ready for anything he could throw at him.

What he didn't know was that once he got involved in these criminal acts was that he would soon get involved in one of the greatest adventures of his entire life. Mike was thinking that Shaw was right and that he had to do something if he was going to live on the street. So he figured he would do as Shaw told him to do almost as if he was Mike's teacher. Their first mission was to steal a 5-karat gold ring from an old lady. Mike did it with ease and Shaw just said "meh… Beginner's Luck!" That's all it ever was from here on end till November heist to heist and robbery to robbery. Then Mike finally said that if he was so great that he should pull off one of the greatest crimes that the city of Edmonton has ever known. Mike told Shaw that the only he could trust him as a buddy and mentor was that he had to rob Mr. Governor's mansion of his gold. He said that he would have the last laugh, but Mike could tell by the look in his eye that he would easily chicken out. So Mike could tell that he would have to do it on his own.

So he set off to the most expensive mansion in the entire city: Governor Mansion. Mr. Governor's security was so high-tech and so complicated that only he could shut it off with a tongue, hand print, and number passwords. Seems impossible right? Wrong. Mike just remembered the army. When he was in training, he learned that even in the toughest of situations that there was always a way to come out victorious. It just depended on the situation and the mission. I wished I learned something like that. I could've avoided so many of my enemies' traps. So anyways, when Mike came to Mr. Governor's golden safe he pinpointed everything about the lock and he got the gold but before he left he set off the laser alarm in the living room.

The police were there in a matter of minutes. It wasn't long before the cops had the entire place surrounded. They even went to the trouble of calling a few F.B.I. men to come in as well to personally bring the fugitives into custody. Thank gosh he managed to escape in time. What he didn't expect was that Shaw had turned against him. When Mike showed him the gold, he tried to rob me of my profit of stolen goods. So then it began. Mike faced off against his own teacher. He had Mike on the ropes at first, knocking my lights out every time. However, Mike somehow felt as if Chris and I were right by his side fighting with him as he rose up and took Shaw down. Mike slowly knocked his lights out blow by blow. Then Mike had him pinned on the ground. His last words were "Finish me off man. You have a lot to live for. Reach for the stars and you just might have what it takes to save us all." So Mike did as he said and finished him off with one fatal blow to the neck. Mike couldn't believe it. It was almost as if Shaw wanted to be killed for some apparent reason. So he ran away and tried to forget about this entire experience. He pondered about it for a little bit, but back in those days, you had to simply put stuff like that behind you so as to keep your vulnerability at an all time low.

However what he couldn't understand was what Shaw meant by reaching for the stars and saving "us" all. It was all too weird to even comprehend from what Mike told me. In some cases, I wonder to this day whether or not Shaw had actually taught Mike anything about being a good fighter. A lot of the adventures he personally had himself were bizarre and out of this world. A lot of them weren't that pretty to discuss either, nor even use even when in context. Not to say mine weren't at all surprising or challenging either as well as Chris's personal biography, but Mike for sure had his own little stories to tell of course.

(So there you have it. A new beginning portion since this is officially chapter one of The Perfect Trio. The biggest reason why I have had some second thoughts on this being posted up this early in production, but I may be able to do something in the future about the length of the story. As I have stated in past chapters, each main character will have two to three main sagas (some may involve crossovers with videogames, movies, t.v. shows, etc.) either way this is going to be quite a story in my point of view. Stay tuned.)
