Chapter 61: Setting Down Sunday

US Airspace

Sunday

If it's anything, Alex never thought she would be riding in a cargo plane back to LS courtesy of Jingfei. Then again, Alex never expected her life to drastically change so much.

"Alex." Jase said coming up. "Just wanted to let you know that José's waiting for us to come back. He misses us."

Alex chuckled before something came to mind.

"So why did Jingfei offer us a ride in a cargo plane?" Alex asked.

"About that, remember all those Italians we had to help kill. Well, we couldn't bury all of them in the desert…so the plane is on a bit of a crash course with a bomb on it. We're just getting off early." Jase said as Alex had a blank look on her face.

"Jingfei and you planned this out?" Alex said as a light started flashing. "Why am I not surprised?"

Jase got in his car undoing the holding straps as Alex did the same for hers. Jase texted the pilot as the hatch for the plane opened as the view revealed the nighttime fields. Jase and Alex's revved their engines before racing out, hitting the dirt as the plane assailed up back into the air.

"What about the pilot?" Alex asked.

"He'll be fine. The plane is going to fall towards waters not far from Whetstone. That hovercraft you saw in the plane is for him to get out." Jase said before looking at his phone. "Looks like we're in Flint Range. So, race you home?"

Alex smirked and drove off forcing Jase to give chase.

"And that's the last of them." Naruto said getting out of the Comet.

Simeon had called with a list that afternoon with cars to snatch to bring to the docks, namely Simeon's garage. Naruto got all five on the first list and brought them all to the docks, but not to the marker yet. He wanted to call Simeon first.

"Naruto, my boy…I might have made a small error. I didn't want to get all five of the first list early…I wanted you to get one at a time over a fe-"

"But I already got them all." Naruto said as Simeon sputtered.

"Well, shit. I didn't exactly form the budget to pay you all at once. Let me talk to my people real quick." Simeon said as Naruto was put on hold for a moment.

Simeon would return.

"My buyers for those cars ran into a little financial snag. They can pay for everything except the F620. You can have it and I'll pay you half. Probably will be a while before I get you export requests." Simeon said sheepishly as he sent the pay over.

"It's fine. I'm still being paid Gs and I don't have to walk home." Naruto said before loading the four cars in. "Good night, Simeon."

Naruto hung up before getting in the F620. Ocelot cars were something he never expected to drive, but he was not complaining as he raced off. His phone buzzed with it clear Madrazo was calling…so he answered.

"Senior Madarazo, what can I do for you tonight?" Naruto asked.

"I have a job for you, one that I require you come with a team, especially a hacker." Madrazo said firmly.

"I can take it. You do always pay well. What's the set up?" Naruto said, accepting the mission.

[The Los Santos Connection]

"I like to know what's happening in the city. Some call it micro-management. I call it staying ahead of trouble. Now, there are some new guys selling too-pure coke all over. I wanna know who they are, and I want them gone. Busting a deal in Rancho would be a good place to start." Madrazo explained before hanging up.

Naruto immediately called up Shikamaru only to hear that he was riding shotgun in a street race. So he called Nora to ask who's available for a four to five man job.

"Got three available. They're on route, where do you want them to meet you?" Nora asked.

"La Vaca Loca on Macdonald Street. Thanks Nora." Naruto said before hanging up.

Naruto arrived to find Anna next to her Faction Custom, Olive sitting on her Innovation, and Josephine on a black Zombie Chopper. She also now wore the typical 'uniform' for Tidal Fox's 'Matrix Theme'.

"I seriously need more guys in this group." Naruto said dryly as Anna tossed him a wrapped cheeseburger. "Thank you Anna."

"You're welcome, bossman." Anna said as Naruto hastily ate it. "So what we in for?"

"Madrazo." Naruto said between bites. "Some new guys on the block are bringing in too pure coke and he doesn't like that."

"So we go in…take them out and take a sampling to the big guy in charge." Olive said. "Never thought I'd get to meet Martin Madrazo."

"He a big shot?" Josephine asked.

"Biggest Mexican drug cartel on this side of the country." Olive said. "I don't think we've met."

"That's Josephine…she's new. From that same town Molly's from." Naruto said as Olive blanched. "Yeah, her too."

"What the fuck is wrong with that town?" Olive said as they all drove off.

"Honestly, I don't even know myself." Josephine said with a shudder.

It was a short drive to the place where the deal was being headed by the Professionals. Not that it mattered as Naruto and his team fired upon them. Josephine shot the last off with her sawed-off shotgun. Naruto got the instruction to Check the Granger's GPS to which he did to see a location of a depot out in El Burro Heights. Marking it on his phone, he got back in his car before leading the team out to the depot. With the next objective given, Naruto had his team fend off the attackers while he went inside the depot to find the laptop.

"Well time to get to cracking." Naruto said, taking a seat.

First off was running , having to rely on the crash course Isaribi gave him to navigate it. It took two tries, but he succeeded before getting to use to get the information.

"Hangar at the airport? Given these Professionals are rumored to be in with the FIB…I'm not surprised." Naruto asked before remembering Richite. "Shit, I should have called him to ask if he saw anything."

With the information obtained, he disconnected his phone and destroyed the laptop with a shotgun blast.

"This is Naruto, pull out. I got the information, we're all going to Los Santos International!" Naruto said over the earpiece.

Naruto was last to peel out of the depot before everyone checked in via communication lines.

"Man, they were relentless…but I got me some free guns and money off the bodies." Josephine said. "More money than I ever held before."

"That's the life of a banger, my nigga!" Anna said brashly.

"Oy vey, this girl…" Olive remarked. "So bossman, any information on who this deal is between?"

"It's being dealt with by The Professionals. I don't think Madrazo realized it was them given they don't really have a gang color." Naruto explained.

"Looked like ex-military." Josephine said.

"Because most of them are…" Olive said.

"Ok, we're going to park our rides at headquarters…I need it'd be better to get in by cab." Naruto said.

Passing by headquarters, they got a cab to the airport which they simply snatched two HWY Airtugs to drive over to the hangar. Naruto spied a Buzzard Attack Chopper and asked if anyone could fly it.

"I got my pilot's license from the flight school here." Olive said casually. "But I want to keep the chopper after this."

"Where are you going to store, girl?" Anna asked.

"I got a place." Olive said getting inside before starting it up.

"No place to waste, they're going to be alerted." Naruto said getting out his SMG. "Anna, you're with me. Josephine, ride shotgun with Olive."

Anna and Naruto stormed in gun blazing as Anna wanted to christen her new carbine rifle with good use. The Professional had fought back, armed rather well. Naruto swapped to his rocket launcher firing a rocket at a Granger starting a chain of explosives from the other cars. Naruto found the duffel bags of cocaine as Anna threw a grenade at a group of Professionals blowing up the planes and delivery vans.

"Boss, I think I saw their dealer fleeing by a Shamal." Olive said as Naruto and Anna ran out. "I'm giving chase."

Naruto went up on the SecuroServ app to request a helicopter, a Buckingham Volatus. Cost him $10,000 but he considered it worth it.

"Anna, make sure we didn't mess any bags of cokes." Naruto said as Anna went inside.

The chopper spawned stepped away from Naruto in a black and blue color. Naruto got in putting in the bags as Anna returned with stuff to put in the helicopter. With her inside, Naruto took to the air.

"Status report?" Naruto asked.

"He was taken down…and we're on our way back." Olive said.

"I'm leaving by own helicopter. So get to following me." Naruto said flying off.

They flew for Madrazo's place…or really the place that was clearly for his mistress. Mr. Madrazo was waiting outside with two of his men to unload the chopper of the coke.

"Excellent work. Did you find out who?" Mr. Madrazo remarked.

"Martin, it was the Professionals." Naruto remarked.

"I guess the intel was off but given those goons blend into the crowd, I'm not surprised." Mr. Madrazo said. "I've sent you your pay. As for your friends, I have their cash payment."

[Mission Complete! +$8,000 +3000RP]

The group was paid as Olive took up with the Buzzard to drop off as Naruto and Anna took off on the Volatus back to headquarters.

"We're home!" Jase said, opening the front door.

"Mom! Dad!" José said running up to bring them both.

"Where's Belén?" Alex asked as they carried the luggage inside.

"Here. I was just popping some popcorn. Welcome home." Belén said, giving the bowl of popcorn to José. "Need help with your bags?"

"Yes!" The couple said.

With the bags carried in, the couple slumped on the couch. Setsuna jumped up into Jase's lap as he petted the pooch.

"How was the trip?" José asked.

"Well, we have a nice little house out in Venturas to do for a winter vacation?" Alex said, ruffling his hair. "So what's on television?"

"Teen Titans GO." He said as Jase facepalm.

"I swear if that show lasts longer than the actual show….oh who am I kidding? It's cheap and easy to make. They'll milk this crapfest for a decade." Jase said before changing the channel.

(A/N: And that's another chapter done. Next week I will be going to handle the last of Tiana's missions alongside the introduction to the Humane Raid heist. Of course, I want to make attempts to expand on the side characters too and get some Biker missions done as well. So much to do…and only so little summer.)
