San Andreas
Saturday
Naruto woke up completely at ease. He showered and got ready for the day before having breakfast. He checked his phone to see a text from Ron noting that they heard they were out in the countryside. TP Industries was in need of their services…this morning. He checked with the others…only to see Isaribi was taking the morning off. Tomoko was with Ben having breakfast with his mother. Yara was sleeping over at Tomoko's place.
Naruto got his Blue Banekos jacket and rode his Shotaro to Tomoko's Paleto home. He walked into the house to find Yara casually finishing eating breakfast with only a towel on her head. It really only reminded Naruto of Yara's fit and rugged body. She had a new tattoo on her upper arm, Lady Mortality.
"Yara, we got to go." Naruto said as Jase went upstairs.
She came down in a black tank top, midnight blue jean shorts, her biker boots, her fingerless gloves, an orange bandana around her head, and a pair of gold aviators like Naruto's. She tossed on her BB jacket before she and Naruto left on their Shotaros straight to Trevor's trailer. Trevor came out looking eager.
"Where's Isaribi and the other one?" Trevor asked.
"Occupied with their relationships. But we got people to back us up, what's the situation, Trevor?" Naruto remarked.
"Well I got a few jobs for you, but I think you need to deal with the work Ron has for you. Knowing you two, you'll get it done. I'm quite eager to see it all come to fruition. Get at least four of these jobs done before lunch, and you'll all be liable to get jobs from me personally." Trevor said before going back inside.
"Guess we go find Ron?" Yara asked.
"Next door." Naruto said as she followed him to Ron's trailer.
"Oh hey, if it isn't…where's Isaribi?" Ron remarked.
"Busy. But we can handle the four jobs. They can be done solo, can't they?" Naruto remarked.
"Yeah, they can. But I'll recommend a group to steal a lot of bikes to sell to Mushroom Hank." Ron remarked.
"I'll handle it. We got people." Yara said.
"You're on." Ron said.
[Daemon Run]
Yara took her leave making a call to the clubhouse for backup.
"As for you Naruto, you may or may not know, but TP Conglomerate owns the gas station out by Ace Liquor. It doesn't get used much, but if there's an opportunity to fill the pumps on the cheap we take it. The Lost have a tanker of fuel at a depot near Harmony, Trevor wants you to steal it and bring it here." Ron said.
"I'll handle it." Naruto said before leaving.
[Fueling the Flames]
He went to the 140 Zancudo Avenue safehouse to change to wear the swiped Lost MC jacket before getting out a bandana around his face. Even got a helmet over his head before leaving. He got himself a Sanchez before racing off to the location. As he got close, he pulled over ditching the bike to walk. It was simple really…walk around subtly leaving sticky bombs on their motorcycles. He snuck into the truck and detonated the bombs making a chain of explosions to cover the sound of the truck being turned on. The Lost had to watch their fuel leave unable to do anything as they could shoot it lest blowing themselves up.
"Suckers." Naruto said to himself as he drove away.
They had to watch their cargo be stolen and all failed to realize who stole it. Naruto would deliver the product to Sandy's Gas Station to which he completed the mission.
[Fueling the Flames - Mission Complete! + $5000, +2500 RP]
Yara would finish hers shortly after.
[Daemon Run - Mission Complete! +$10,000 +5,000 RP]
Naruto called up Ron.
"Ron, it's Naruto. Ready for the next job." Naruto said eagerly.
"You work fast and efficiently. I'd normally do this job, but running the operational side of the business, and my radio broadcast, I don't have time. We need you to get a shipment of crystal the Lost have in a boat in Paleto Cove, and take it to our kitchen on Alamo Sea to be cut down. The bikers will be protecting it." Ron remarked.
"Not a problem." Naruto said, accepting the mission.
[Wet Workers]
Naruto would be off to get that done as Yara arrived at Ron for her next job.
"I got something for you that's a bit more intense so I'd suggest you not dismiss your group. We're expanding the TP Industries fleet with a Cargobob! All we need is you to get a hold on one from Fort Zancudo. I can lend you the plane at our airfield to get there, but you bring it back. Oh, and you should probably take out the fighter jets so they don't come after you." Ron said as Yara accepted the mission.
[Base Invaders]
"Hold up, we're stealing from the military?!" Beatrix said agape. "Not that it's an issue, but we're going to do this…we should change clothes."
"Agreed." Yara said. "And Ron…would it be okay if I got my own helicopter instead? If we're dealing with the risk of fighter jets, I'd rather just get a Buzzard."
"Oh…sure. Saves us the cost." Ron said as Yara left with Beatrix and Fia.
"We're robbing from the fucking army…" Fia said in disbelief.
"We can do this." Yara said. "But I should call Isaribi…"
Yara called her up and told her what was going down.
"First off, you shouldn't be so detailed over the phone. But you at least used the secure line…so whatever. I have a safehouse in Sandy Shore, 140 Zancudo Avenue. Go there with the other two and wait for me. I'll get some heist gear and the chopper. See you soon." Yara remarked.
[Wet Workers - Mission Complete! +$5,000, +2,500 RP]
Naruto was laughing his ass off as he left the area, a job complete. He got a taxi back to his Paleto house before going inside to change, opting to an white tank top under an open orange Hawaiian shirt, a pair of orange sunglasses, sunrise themed board shorts, and a pair of orange flip-flops. He retained his fingerless gloves and watch. His phone rang to hear Olivia's voice.
"Oh hey, Olivia. What's up?" Naruto said.
"Just let you know Victoria will be out of town for the weekend. Martin wants her to join him on a little trip to Leonida. Basically being his trophy daughter for some college dedication party for one of his 'friends'." Olivia said. "But I wanted to let you know that there's a lot of those Vago gangbangers creeping around Chumash."
"I'll look into it." Naruto remarked.
She hung up as he got a buzz from Isaribi about her joining Yara for a job. Then she got a call from Tomoko.
"Hey Naruto, our Mexican friend in high places wants us in Chumash to deal with Vagos. I could use some backup." Tomoko said as Naruto grinned.
"On my way." Naruto said before hanging up.
[Gang Attack #5 - Vagos]
He hopped right into his Bifta and drove off for Chumash calling Olivia to ask to join him. She agreed and he picked her up as he got into Chumash. They had caught up to Tomoko before ambushing the Vagos who were right on the beach. Neither Naruto or Olivia got out of the buggy opting to instead do a drive-by. Oliva had a Gold SMG for her to fire apart to shred through them, taking care to get a particular one that nearly ran her over earlier. Naruto used his Compact Rifle as Tomoko used her minigun to mow the rest down.
"Next wave of them's coming." Tomoko said before swapping to her carbine rifle.
Naruto got out telling Olivia to take the wheel as he whipped out the rocket launcher.
"You should get some distance Olivia." Naruto said, firing a rocket at the coming gang cars.
Tomoko's focus was on windshields to nail the drivers, getting them to crash into other gang cars letting Naruto make a chain explosion. Olivia managed to nail the last guy leaving a bloody mess all over the beach.
[Gang Attack #5 Complete - $5,000, +2,500 RP]
Naruto had snatched fallen cash and ammo, but the three knew they had to split. Tomoko took off as Naruto got back in the buggy with Olivia driving after snatching some fallen guns for herself. She swung by Patty's bakery to get her motorcycle.
"Cops are going to be all over the place." Olivia said as they headed out to the highway.
"Don't worry about that, just keep driving. Paramedics are going to be focusing on the injured…or really the dead." Naruto said seeing that his status had no stars. "Follow me to Paleto Bay…"
She'd get him back to Paleto Bay as Naruto's phone rang with a call from Trevor.
[Base Invaders - Mission Complete! +$20,000 +10,000RP]
"I'm quite impressed with your work for TP Industries. So consider this a promotion because now you'll be taking jobs directly from me as well." Trevor said.
"Thanks, Trevor. You know it's good to be trusted with the more pertinent jobs." Naruto remarked.
"Ron has a job for you that's a personal favor for me, but it'll be at night. So get to his trailer or call him before 9pm because it's got to be done tonight." Trevor growled as Naruto put a notice on his phone.
"Got it. Need anything in the meanwhile?" Naruto asked.
"Actually…I do. Lost has a new crystal factory on the other side of the Alamo Sea. Get to it and bring the crank to my yard!" Trevor roared.
"Sounds about right. I'll get on it." Naruto said before hanging up. "Olivia, pull in here."
[Lost My Mind]
Olivia pulled over to Naruto's place as Naruto parked his car in the garage.
"All right, we'll go deal with this crank." Naruto remarked, wheeling out his Hexer Custom. "Leave the BB jacket behind. We need to have these idiots think it's independent people attacking them."
Olivia had tossed Naruto her jacket to him which he put in the garage.
"I'll go change." Naruto said before going inside.
He simply swapped the orange Hawaiian shirt for the blue-green one that the System cited as iconic, changed his shorts to blue stonewashed jeans, and the sandals for dark Hinterland boots. He got on a black bandana and got one for Olivia. He came out to see Tricia arrive at his place.
"Heading out on a job?" Tricia asked before side-eyeing Olivia's generous bosom.
"Yeah, going to fuck with the Lost. So leave your BB jacket and get a bandana for your face." Naruto said as Tricia took off her jacket to give to Naruto.
"Can you loan me something in return then?" Tricia said as Naruto went back inside.
He returned wearing a black flight jacket and tossed Tricia the gray one. The three were off for Galilee.
"You know I saw on the news that some thirteen year old was arrested for robbing and murdering a store clerk in Oakland. I swear that place has gone to shit, used to be nice to visit." Olivia said.
"People used to debate which is shittier, San Andreas or California." Tricia said. "But it comes down to your financial situation and what part of Cali you're living in. Parts of Cali are just…really run down. I've been in Oakland…it's the drugs man. It's out of control there…almost like it's a third-world wasteland."
"Fuckin' hell." Naruto mused.
"But on a lighter note…so…are those things natural or plas-"
"All natural, darling." Olivia said.
"I can attest…" Naruto affirmed.
They would soon arrive at the spot, Naruto leading the two passing the glowing marker.
"So how are we going to do this?" Tricia asked as they were hiding behind a building.
The building was low enough for Naruto to climb up on to which he did.
"I'm going to earn my sniping stars and take out as many as I can from the roof. As for you two, find a position to sneak shots at them." Naruto said getting down on his stomach on the roof with his Sniper Rifle.
He lined the shot on a Lost mook and fired. He didn't get him between the eyes, but through his left eye. Naruto cursed as the Lost members scrambled to fight back as Naruto swapped to his Combat MG before opening fire.
"Time to give the auto shottie, a go!" Tricia said, putting on a bandana around her face before coming out of cover to fire on several bikers.
Olivia wasted no wasting bikers left and right her Gold SMG before hurling a Molotov at an unlucky sap to got hit in the face. Naruto slashed the last guy's head off with his katana before seeing they had a runner.
"We got a runner!" Naruto roared as he was running back to his bike.
BLAM! That fleeing runner got popped in the head by Olivia's deagle, the package of meth clattering on the ground.
"Never mind then…" Naruto said as he collected the package. "Let's go, we need to get back to Trevor ro deliver."
Tricia snatched some fallen cash before cutting off a Lost patch off one of the dead bikers. Olivia asked about that.
"Oh, it's a biker tradition. If you've slain a bunch of peeps from an organization, you can steal a patch of theirs to put on your jacket with it crossed out." Tricia said as Naruto whirled around to do the same.
Olivia did so wanting the achievement before they took the remaining ammo and cash to leave with.
"I swear I've been consistent in making good cash working with you guys." Tricia remarked. "I ain't exactly rich, but I'm not struggling either. I can actually afford shit now…and I feel like I'm making progress. I swear with these fems I'd either get screwed out of pay, get pocket change, or some shit would go wrong. I've been looking for an apartment…hell a house. Just a piece of property I can call my own."
"Tricia, if you do want an apartment, my shithead husband has several he has for 'mistresses'. I managed to get two of them out from under his mistresses…you can have one." Olivia said.
"Oh wow, thanks. But why are you still with him if he cheats?" Tricia asked as Olivia sighed.
"I'd say it's a long story, but…"
"I can give the abridged version." Naruto remarked.
By the time they arrived at Sandy Shores…Tricia was up to speed.
"Talk about first world problems." Tricia said. "I just find it hard to believe he's not shoving his head in your tits. I would. Most men would if they were married to her. And this fucker just drops you for fat asses. Hell, it's not like your ass is completely flat!"
"We're here." Naruto said before parking the bike. "Trevor! Special delivery!"
Trevor opened the window as Naruto tossed him the goods.
"Good work. And here…" Trevor said before giving Naruto a sniper rifle. "Found this puppy in the stuff your friends boosted from the army, I think you'll find it useful."
Unlike his old one, this one had an advanced scope, a suppressor, and an army tint to it.
"Actually, this is really nice. I actually need some practice with a sniper…and this is a lot better than my old one." Naruto said putting it away.
"Anyway, you all are done for the day. Just be in the area before nine P.M." Trevor said before closing his window.
[Lost My Mind - Mission Complete +$5,000, +1740 RP]
Naruto was also given the pay to give to Olivia and Tricia which he handed over. They got to their bikes with Tricia suggesting lunch.
"Shall we go to the Bastion, then? My treat." Olivia said.
"Race you there, then." Tricia said as they took off.

DeWae Residence
"I got the fu-target…" Jase said, trying to avoid a swear.
"Dad, you know I knew you were going to swear, right?" José asked as he was watching television with Setsuna. "You and mom just keep trying to stop yourselves even though you slipped up…a lot."
"Your mother would be mad if I didn't at least try." Jase said as Alex came into the living room. "Babe, I got a lead on Bélén's assailant."
Alex followed Jase up to their bedroom.
"Long story short, Kara managed to run her face through a few databases. We got a match. Maitre Maiz, she's formerly from Cottonmouth in the South." Jase said. "Worked as a former dominatrix for some club there. That's all Kara was able to get."
"Cottonmouth? That's not a good sign especially with what I hear about their Red Light District." Alex said.
"I'll call Isaribi."
It had not taken long for Isaribi to come after making some calls of her own.
"Well I got good news. This Maitre bitch is on Lester's shit list. Hell, he was more than willing to help the moment I told them. When I asked why, he explained she worked with a group in Cottonmouth that were nothing but depraved. Cannibalism, torture, pedophilia…nothing's off limits to these fucks and the films they made. She's been in some of them." Isaribi explained. "Lester wouldn't give me more details, but he'd text when he has more."
Isaribi's phone buzzed and she looked at it.
"Oh, well I'll be damned. Maitre's credit card just made a purchase at the Mirror Park Tavern." Isaribi said. "Naruto's close by…so I'll have him snatch her. And bring her to you."
Jase and Alex had gone to Bélén, letting her know that they were going to confront her.
"If you're going to kill her…make it as impersonal as possible. If anything, you shouldn't confront her. Have someone else do it to ensure no suspicion." Bélén noted.
"She's right." Isaribi said from the door. "So you want me to have Naruto just kill the bitch?"
"Do it."
~TWG~
Naruto was pissed. He got interrupted before he could maybe get some from Olivia, but Isaribi called to let him something needed to be dealt with. Then got doubly pissed at why. So he had leave to deal with that which was why he was in the middle of something. And then Luna called.
"What do you want?" Naruto asked.
"We need you to hunt down someone for us. Maitre Maiz." Luna said.
"Well that's awkward, I actually have her…" Naruto said.
"Why?" Luna asked.
"She raped a friend of a friend. I was going to put her car on the tracks and let nature take its course." Naruto remarked.
"Do you have her purse and phone?" Luna asked. "Because if you go…we could use that. Just get rid of her and the car. If you got her address, just go there and Huey will be waiting there for those items. Make sure her keys are in it."
Naruto sighed before hanging up. He got rid of her and the car, though he simply drove it off a cliff with explosives in it. Naruto watched it blow off before having to call for a cab. In the end, Naruto walked away 20,000 richer. Bélén would be avenged…and the DaWae family would be happy to know that Maitre was on peoples' shitlist. He would have called Tricia, but she was busy with Olivia.
He considered seeing Neenah, but he figured he'd rather not. She's expecting him to be gone all weekend, so he decided to let her enjoy herself. He wanted to get back out of town.
~TWG~
[Cues: Dido - Stan (slowed/reverbed)]
A summer shower would erupt blanketing San Andreas were a burst of rain. Isaribi was at her Paleto home watching the rain while listening to music.
"Dido? I didn't think you were a fan of Eminem." Jon said sitting next to her.
"I have varied tastes. When your work involves driving and doing shit, you enjoy the radio. It tends to be your greatest ally, you gain tastes for all kinds of tunes." Isaribi said. "Besides, I want to take in the calm before a potential storm."
"Is it hard…to fight the Lost when you were apart of them?" Jon asked.
"No. It's not. They treated me like a nuisance. And the only people who gave a damn about me from that group are either dead or no longer a part of the Lost. I lay the blame square on both Billy and Johnny. Fuck Billy, I hope he rots. Fuck Johnny, and especially fuck Ashley. They ruined the Lost for me, and it's a slow descent to shit." Isaribi said icily.
"Betrayal really does bring out the animal in a person." Jon mused.
"Loyalty is a trait valued, but most people don't fret about…until they're betrayed." Isaribi said. "Why do you think there's crimes of passion?"
"I can get it. Never saw the appeal for affairs though, it's like playing tennis with an unpinned grenade." Jon joked as she snickered.
"You're smart enough to understand the danger." Isaribi said.
"I get enough danger with you…I still have the scratches on my back from your nails." Jon mused.
"Is that an invite?" Isaribi purred.
"Only if you're on top." Jon said as they went inside.
~TWG~
[Music Ends]
Next door, Yara was playing video games with Tomoko. However, she looked at Yara who had been more quiet than usual.
"Hey, you ok?" Tomoko asked.
"Yeah, just thinking. I'm just really grateful to be out of that cult and have something of a normal life. I've just been thinking of making a cult of things and experiences I want to try. I actually got a tattoo on my list." Yara remarked.
"What else is on it?" Tomoko asked.
"Well, some sex stuff….learning to fly, doing some traveling, and learning a new fighting style." Yara remarked. "And a lot more. How about a spa treatment? I'll pay for it."
Tomoko beat her in the game.
"You're on." Tomoko mused.
(A/N: Another Manhunt callback, considering Manhunt 1 and 2 alongside Bully have the odd honor of being canon to both the 3D and HD universes as a sort of bridge. Maitre being a former Perv makes a lot of sense. By the time this is posted AtP has already passed 50 entries, props to BlueStrikerBomber. Originally, the ending part of this was going to be in the next chapter, but it was too short for my liking so I merged it into 81. If anything, the Maitre arc ending as such was intentional. Bélén's a gentle soul and ultimately a bit rational to know that Jase going to whack her would do more harm than good. Next up, we go back to Liberty!)
