Chapter 30: Up And Away

In a few days the job that they were going pull off was coming up and they still didn't have a helicopter.

Chelsea knew it had to be something simple like a Buzzard, which was plenty fast. Chelsea knew a few people back in Blaine County who could give her one for a cheaper fee but of course she has a lot of old debts to pay off. Especially when it came to playing cards and always winning, they of course would accuse her of cheating which in turn she would always deny. She desperately needed one.

Chelsea thought about sneaking into the local police department and stealing one of theirs, but of course she relented. The last thing she wanted to hear on the radio that a police chopper went missing. And knowing how easily mad Sunny would get, the last thing thing she wanted was to draw any attention to their operation. She would have to steal one but she didn't know where to start.

Then it dawned on her.

She was in Los Santos.

Los Santos International Airport was at least thirty minutes away from Vespucci Beach. Chelsea thought that she could sneak around the airport and snatch herself one while no one was looking. It would better then driving back to Blaine County and it would save her up some gas money. Plus if this was successful then their would be a likely chance that she'll be able to keep the helicopter for herself.

She imagined herself piloting her very own helicopter. The wonders never ceased to amaze her.

Los Santos International Airport

The overalls go on, Chelsea puts on the cap.

The whole thing was relatively easy; all she had to do was pretend that she would lure a poor sap with the promise of a fun night. Instead he got a punch to the face and his outfit stolen. Hopefully they won't dock his pay for this.

"Alright" she flips the sunglasses onto her eyes "Let's go get me a chopper" she says with excitement in her voice.

Chelsea acted as normal as she could. The only drawback of wearing the overalls though was that they kept on sagging. Naturally they were twice her size and only for males, she thought maybe next she should steal one that actually fits for females.

She notices someone coming her way. "Uh hey" she awkwardly greeted "Hey; you new here?" he asked "Y-Yeah! They didn't give me an ID though, they said it'd come in a couple of days" Chelsea answered "When it comes in make sure to clock in, last thing I want is security arresting you" he says with a scowl "You know where the helicopters are?" he asked "Uh, no; they didn't tell me" "Near hanger 12, can't miss it" he points to the runway "Got it! Thanks for showing me the way!". As Chelsea shuffled her way to the area, the man noticed that the person was a little short to be flying a helicopter. Oh well he thought

"Almost there" she muttered, the only thing that was heard were the many planes taking off and landing. It was almost impossible to hear anything. Chelsea thought that her hearing was going to go out.

She see's the helicopter pad, the chopper was right there in front of her. It was a shade of black with red. It was the Buzzard that she was looking for. To the side was a cleaner who just waxed the metal.

Then it hits her, she didn't have the keys for the helicopter. "Just bloody wonderful" she curses under her breath. Chelsea told herself that she would have to hope for the best and that the keys were in the cockpit.

"Hey!" she waved at the cleaner "I think it's clean enough! I got to take this bird for a test flight!" "Right! Keys are in the ignition!" Lucky me! Chelsea tells herself "Just watch it, I just waxed this thing!" he warned "No problem! I'm a pro at this!" she waves him off.

Chelsea opened the door and sure enough the keys were in the ignition. She quickly took her seat and strapped herself in. The ignition is turned on and she flips the switches, the chop chop of the rooter vibrates through the air. The chopper takes off into the air. She reaches enough height to get avoid detection. Chelsea switched the radio off, her phone starts to vibrate. "Hello?" she answered loudly "Chelsea? What's that noise? Where are you?" Sunny yelled over the line "Sunny? I can't hear you! Speak up!" "I said where are you! What's going on?" she repeated "Oh! I don't know if you can hear me but I got that helicopter! I'm flying her to that abandoned oil depot just on the edge of town! Meet me there!" she ordered "Okay! I'll see you in a bit!".

Within seventeen minutes Chelsea see's the oil depot and also see's Sunny.

Sunny signals to her to land down. Chelsea carefully lands the bird onto the ground. Sunny covers her eyes to avoid the dust kicking up onto her face. Chelsea exited the helicopter and skips towards her friend "See! I told I'd get a helicopter!" she proudly exclaims "Okay, that's good for you and us" Sunny complimented "We've got time to prepare for the job, let's cover this up with a tarp".

They cover the bird with a black tarp. Chelsea took off her disguise and quickly got rid of it.

Champagne starts to pop "Geraldine, hey listen; we got that helicopter. We just enough time got to prepare for the next few days" "That's good; can I ask a favor from you?" the bounty hunter asked "Shoot" "I took your advice and decided to move to a new place in Rockford Hills" "That's great, congrats to that".

"I bought it, I wanted to know if you and Chelsea could help me move after all this shit is over?".

"Of course" Sunny promises "See in a bit".

"What was all that?" Chelsea asked "Geraldine bought a new home and we're going to move when this is all over" Sunny put her phone back in her pocket "So long as she is paying me" Chelsea put a happy smile on her face "She's our friend genius" Sunny reminded "We're doing this out the kindness of own hearts numb nuts" "You're no fun" she pouted "Shut up and get in the car, I'll buy you a sandwich on the way back".

With that they took off. The plan was already drawn up and now it was almost to take action.

Everything was in place.
