Chapter 47: The Scuba Assassination

Geraldine was waiting by the railing at the pier. She had gotten a text marked urgent. It was also said to put on a bathing suit and wait at the pier. Her bikini top, blue with gold stars splashed on the fabric; which was covered with a basketball jersey. And her bottoms covered with cut off jean shorts. She waited for over forty four minutes. She had her yellow bandanna covering her hair. She peered at the water as the yachts and speed boats pass by. The Sea Sharks cruise like jets. The whole time after she got her new house she never got the chance to experience to be out on the open sea. While she didn't look Geraldine had a passion for boating. The captain of her own boat was something that she liked to have 'Captain Geraldine Winslow'. It had a peculiar ring to it. Like she had something that meant something in her life for once. She has the money to afford big things now, she may as well since it's something rich people do; spend, spend and spend.

"Hope you like the view".

Joni took her place next to Geraldine.

Geraldine looked at her. Her Chanel jacket was gone. Only a white short sleeved blouse and her Chanel skirt. It was strange seeing her without her business attire. It looked like she ready for to do something else with herself "You did pretty good with that doctor, those families were more than happy after hearing what happened to him" Geraldine didn't seem to acknowledge what did back at that place "Whatever".

"How come you ain't dressed up? she asked "I'm leaving".

Geraldine looked at her "Where?

"Somewhere on the East Coast, they relocated me so this is going to be the last assignment for you".

She looked at her "For real? You're leavin'?" "Mm-hmm," Joni hummed "I'm leaving tomorrow morning".

"Guess it's for the best" Geraldine shrugged "Probably, the next place I'm going to isn't going to be full of asshole hipsters", Geraldine laughed "Yeah, I hear that" she chuckled "So who's the target?". Joni pulls her phone out and swipes to the picture app. She shows a bleach blonde haired woman with a goddess complexion. Everything in the photo spelled smug and uptight. "This slut is Lisa Norelli, she's a con artist who's milked money from vulnerable people, fifty million in total last I checked".

"Goddamn" Geraldine whistled "The last person she conned money out of was a guy who was an average joe.

"They went on some dates for over a few months, until boom; she says she's pregnant; everything goes good. Until...".

She trails "A car accident causes Norelli to miscarriage, the poor guy got so distraught that he ended up killing himself" "Shit, that's bad" Geraldine tells her "It would be but there's a twist-this bitch was never pregnant" Joni announced "Sounds like something from one of those paternity shows" Geraldine leaned against the railing. "Before the guy killed himself Norelli took out a small policy; five million dollars on life insurance.

"Only problem was the financial crimes unit from LSPD found out, and guess what? They served her papers..." Joni dramatically puts "And let me guess? Something' happened and she got let go?".

Joni simply nodded "Turns out the warrant that was served wasn't complete. So she was let go on a technicality" "Shit, that sucks".

"But she's gotten skiddish and plans to leave the country, this is where you come in" she carefully explained "She's going to do one last thing before she leaves".

"What?".

Joni stared at her bikini top string showing from under the jersey "She's doing a last minute diving trip, you're going to dive down and make sure she doesn't come back up" she cryptically states "Hey look, I don't know how to dive; I mean I know how to swim; but I'm not a Navy SEAL" Geraldine tells her "It's easy, gently breathe in then out; remember not to come up to fast; otherwise you'll get the bends Joni advises. Geraldine sighed with uneasy "Look, do this last thing for me; and you'll get a great looking surprise" Joni pats her on the shoulder "Stop by the marina after everything is done, a surprise will be waiting for you there". Geraldine shook her head "Okay, I don'r like the idea of divin' but shit whatever" she turned around and went to rent a dingy and diving gear. "Have a nice swim" Joni wishes.

"Yeah-yeah-yeah, shut up".

...

The binoculars stare at the bitch as she finishes checking the tank. Joni texted one last thing to her after she rented her dingy and gear. This bitch liked to look good. Everything about her spelled plastic surgery. Tied up bleach blonde. Long legs. A pair of fake D tits to top everything. She looked more like a blow up doll. Geraldine didn't know whether or not to if she should be jealous of her looks. After that last job, she wondered if she should make her butt thicker Then again it might look a bit ridiculous that her butt were to look like that. She likely would find it hard to fit a thick butt into her pants.

Norelli wore a pink bikini. While lots would (predictably) ogle at her with their pieces getting hard. With all the modifications Norelli looked more like an overrated porn star.

Norelli put the weight belt on. Then the flippers and tank. Her mask is the last thing to go on. She puts her mask on. And with a quick inhale she puts the regulator and jumps in. Geraldine put her gear on. This would be the first time she would be diving. Hopefully she tells herself that wouldn't be any sharks. She puts the regulator in her mouth and went over board. The ocean water was cold as Geraldine regained her bearings.

She swam down as she followed the bubbles from her target. The numerous fish swam around the water and all around her. The view from the surface was different than the view below. The view below was beautiful. All the fishes swimming around was surreal to her. I should do this more often Geraldine tells herself. Diving was never her strong suit but after seeing this she may as well take up diving as a hobby.

Just then Geraldine saw Norelli pausing to look at a small patch of coral. She swam to a hidden spot. If she was going to do this then she had to make sure that this was going to be done right.

Norelli took this trip because of the heat that was coming down. She had dodged the police from that investigation but she could feel the investigation was about to start up again, Norelli decided to play it safe and decided to skip town asap. But she wanted to do one last thing before she skipped out Los Santos and that was scuba diving one last time. She bought a one way ticket to Italy and by the next several hours she would be sipping coffee in a cafe in Rome. And the good thing was that Norelli was going to be close to the Mediterranean. Sun and wine, the Italian hunks asking for her number, the gelato and pasta; everything Italian at her fingertips. As she looked at the patch of coral; she failed to notice that another had followed her. And she was coming right for her.

She wraps her arms around her neck. Geraldine rips off Norelli's mask Norelli panics and slips away Oh my god! She's trying to kill me!

Norelli knew her only chance was to get to the surface. She swims upwards to her boat.

Geraldine quickly grabs her foot and stops. Norelli turns around and tries to rip off Geraldine's mask, she grabs her wrist. She rips out her regulator from her mouth. Geraldine wraps her arms around her neck again, Norelli struggles to get free. She quickly wraps her legs around her waist. Norelli let out a muffled scream as the air flows from her lungs. She keeps struggling to get free.

This can't be happening to me! It wasn't supposed to end like this!

Geraldine kept her grip around Norelli. She keeps on struggling and struggling.

Norelli tries to hold her breath, the thing about the lungs is that they weren't meant to hold air at this type of depth. Norelli starts to get tired, she keeps trying but all the energy starts to go away. Her heart starts to slow down, her vision starts to get blurry. The muscles in her body get tense and stop working. One last gasp of air slips outs of her lungs. She was still as a doll. Geraldine kept her grip on for an extra five minutes just to be sure. She releases her grip from Norelli, Geraldine swam around her front to see if Norelli had any life left in her eyes. Geraldine saw the stillness in her eyes. Dead and cold. She put her two fingers to see if Norelli still had a pulse. Nothing; dead as dead can be. The air from Norelli's tank was still running. If they find her body they'll probably determine that it must have been an accident or that she'd probably had an aneurysm. Geraldine pushed her away and swam back to the surface.

She surfaced. She took the regulator and lifted her mask upward. She quickly swam to the dingy. Geraldine lifted herself onto the raft. She removed her gear and quickly started the engine, and sped away. Her lungs breathed air. It felt good and exhilarating.

...

Geraldine walked down the marina. She called Joni after turning in her scuba gear, and just like she was told to, she was to go to the marina.

She looked around but didn't see her.

"Excuse me?" a marina official called her "Yeah?".

"I was told to give you this letter," he handed her the letter "and there's also a package docked for you a couple clicks away from here"

"Package?" she questioned "It's in the letter, just read it, oh and here's the keys" he tosses the key as he walked away. The key looked like an ignition key. She was confused as to what kind of present she was going to get. Geraldine opened the letter that she got.

Dear Geraldine,

Thank you for all your help. I couldn't taken them down without you, sorry I couldn't thank you in person but I had to catch my flight. You've done really good by all standards. Your present is something special. Believe it or not; it's a yacht.

Geraldine's mouth dropped when she read the word yacht.

I bought it from that slut Norelli, she couldn't take it with her, so she decided to sell it; and guess who bought it?

She's never been sailed and is still in good condition. Plus she doesn't have name, you may want to give her a proper name.

Good doing business with you.

Sincerely,

Joni

Geraldine was stunned at what she just won. A goes by the couple of clicks downward. She saw the yacht in all her prestige. White and long by 52 by 55 feet with the sail beating against the wind. She was in heaven.

"Ooh!" she cheered herself as she finally got something she wanted.

Ring! Ring! Ring!

"Yeah?' Geraldine looked at the new accomplishment in her life "Geraldine, it's me" Sunny answered "Listen we got some work down here in Blaine," she tells her "you don't need to get here right away but by the end of the week or so, it's pretty decent job. Call me when you get here" Sunny hangs up.

Geraldine took a moment to admire the yacht.

Charice is what she'll call her.

Captain Geraldine Winslow reporting for duty she announces with a smile.

Things are definitely going her way.
