(A/N: I didn't even think I'd make it to seventy. That's actually a pretty big milestone all considering most of my other fics. After all this story is a planned long runner which is going to eventually pass Remnant's Four Shadows (at 89 chapters) and The Outsider's Insurrection: Indigo Illiad (at 122 chapters). But given the milestone, I've decided to change the opening theme. On other news, I've gotten my mitts on GTA DE to finally play Vice City and III after missing out for so long. I'll give my thoughts on them later.)

Chapter 70: Another Heist? Great…

San Andreas

Wednesday

Tricia woke up with a groan as she realized what she had done last night. Damn it, she thought. She did not exactly regret sleeping with it, it was that she kept calling him daddy that had her embarrassed. She noticed Naruto was already out of bed. Naruto was already showered and dressed all in mostly new clothes. He wore a black collared shirt under a beige overcoat, beige scruffy suit pants, black ankle boots, an orange tie, his Datejust watch, an black small brimmed fedora with an orange hat band, a pair of gold-rimmed orange aviator shades, and a pair of orange fingerless gloves with a metallic plate on the back of the hands and on the knuckles.

"Fuck me…you look like you're ready for work." Tricia said before biting her lip slightly.

"Got some new stuff, bought some new clothes." Naruto said sheepishly. "But I gotta go…."

"Yeah, I get it…" Tricia said awkwardly before being given a spare key. "Oh, just thanks…"

"It'd be easier and less awkward if you just watched the place while you're around in the neighborhood. Later." Naruto said before leaving.

Tricia would have said something but shrugged before getting her phone seeing a missed call from Eva. She sighed knowing she was probably going to have an awkward talk about why she didn't answer the phone.

~TWG~

Tomoko let out a little yawn as she awoke to her new surroundings. She had gotten herself an actual house. 3655 Wild Oats Drive was all hers, a fancy compact high-end house on the edges of Los Santos. That night aside from house shopping, she had gotten new clothes and a new car: a Dinka Jester. She got off her bed, immediately covering her nude body with her new white silk robe.

She supposed it was a cliche as she tied the 'belt' snugly around her waist, but it was a bit of a confidence booster. Tomoko looked out the window at her view of the city. She looked to her phone to see that her cohorts were on their way to her place for a 'housewarming breakfast'.

"Oh joy…" Tomoko said to herself.

She had not told them that she had invited Ben and his mother to come over for breakfast first. She shrugged it off before going to her on-suite bathroom to have a quick shower. She came out toweling her head as she looked in the mirror, pleased that the abs she had been working on had hardened. Smirking at the sight, she went to get dressed. If anything, she spared no expense getting good underwear as after doing so, she could not go back to the cheap stuff she had before. She settled to go for a professional look as she did want to dress to impress. A gray camisole under a charcoal pinstripe suit jacket, matching suit pants, a pair of gray chukka boots, an amethyst pendant, a carbon Crowex Chromosphere watch, punk-styled metallic orange earrings, and a pair of gray aviator shades. She put a bit of pink lipstick before looking at herself in the mirror pleased with her.

"Looking good." Tomoko said before going upstairs.

Coming in through the front door was Isaribi, who looked to be relaxed with the look on her face and in her appearance having worn an orange patterned tank top under a mostly zipped royal blue tracksuit top, matching tracksuit pants, and orange skate shoes. Given her tousled hair, it was clear to Tomoko what was up. Hongli followed her in.

"So you and Jon?" Tomoko asked.

"Yeah, he was a grower." Isaribi said with a pleased look on her face. "Sorry, I look like a hot mess…Jon and I had a go before he left. I think I'm in love."

Tomoko blushed but realized that Isaribi bought nothing for breakfast.

"So where's the food, Isa?" Tomoko snarked. "And what about that envelope in your jacket?"

Isaribi took it up realizing it was Karen's letter…and groaned. She opened it up to see it was a letter and reading it opened up a bit about Karen. Of course, Isaribi wasn't surprised to hear that she had regretted what she had to do all those years ago. It was a bit relieving to hear she was faking the gruffness around her back then to keep professional, but it was the last lines that surprised Isaribi. Karen had been secretly making sure Isaribi's place in Liberty was being maintained, she had been the one to help Angus after Isaribi left LC, and she had been the one to help Niko get citizenship by fast tracking him.

"Know that no matter what, I always thought of you like a sister. Sincerely, Karen Daniels."

Isaribi sighed before shoving the letter back in her jacket.

"You ok?" Tomoko asked.

"It's just a lot…I'd consider drinking vodka with my coffee if I wasn't a professional." Isaribi said dryly.

Yara came through the door gussied up for show. A black blouse under a leopard blazer, a leopard bow scarf, a leopard print pencil skirt, black stockings into a pair of yellow leopard patent heels, and red lipstick on her lips. Her hairdo was even different to a Messy Bun. Kidlat followed behind her.

"I didn't think you could…"

"I literally woke up like this…I might have gone drinking and drank too much. Next thing I know I woke up on my couch with this and all my pit hair shaved off." Yara said, rubbing her head. "I had to clean up the mess made on the floor."

"Well…that's not a bad thing…you kinda needed it. For what it's worth, I think you look good." Tomoko said as Naruto came letting in Ben and Bea.

"So I see that Isaribi clearly has gotten laid….and Yara…is trying something." Naruto said revealing he bought a gift. "I got you a pack of microwaveable popcorn."

"But no breakfast." Tomoko said dryly.

"You kids take a seat…I"ll handle it." Bea said, cracking her knuckles. "Especially with such a luxurious kitchen."

"I like the new place." Ben said. "And Jon says thanks for the old apartment."

The group had sat at the table as Bea was cooking in the kitchen.

"So what's the plan for today?" Yara asked.

"Some low-key jobs." Naruto mused. "You guys?"

"I'm in. Could use a break from the heisting." Isaribi said. "But something tells me Lester is going to call with a…"

Isaribi's phone rang and it was Lester calling.

"Speak of him and he shall call…" Isaribi said as the quartet got up. "Ben, please excuse us."

The four went downstairs to the bottom floor which had little waterfalls, a modern setup, and the door to the heist room. Isaribi answered by putting it on speaker.

"Uncle Lester, what brings you to call your nieces and nephew?" Isaribi asked.

"General checkup. I heard you've been…well the less I know the better. Remember what I said about not touching the last job with a ten foot barge pole? I wouldn't want to touch this one either…some redneck drug dealer…asked a friend of a friend of a friend. They're putting together a score. I never touch drugs and I don't know the people. But I passed your details. You know what to do…"

He hung up as they got a new message from the System.

[A new Heist is available from any of your high-end apartments.]

"Friday?" Isaribi asked.

"Friday." They all said in unison.

"I have to take Kidlat to the vet…" Yara said.

"I'm going to have Neenah do that for Suiko." Naruto mused.

"I thought she couldn't leave the ho-"

"Here's a funny story…her bolstering of her fake 'reputation' has because the police are looking for someone who doesn't exist. She faked being jacked, faked having tattoos, and so on which meant faking her pictures by photoshopping them. I did some digging on her…the cops cleared her. They didn't think she was a gang member…just some poser." Naruto said as the others laughed. "She did get expelled from college."

"Damn. I'd say that's laughably pathetic, but the bitch has dodged a huge bullet." Isaribi said. "I doubt that it gets her out from under her thumb."

"Nope. But she didn't seem too bothered…more relieved. I actually had returned her car given the cops cleared her, but she wants to stay working for me." Naruto remarked.

"Of course, she would. Think about it. She's a poser who managed to get away with a shit ton of crimes by virtue of being pathetic. She's ruined her college career with being a hangaround for the Saints following her record like a big stain. She also shot any and all chance of her getting into the criminal underworld at all. She's got no money, no family…nothing but that car. A car, if I remember, takes a lot to maintain even for a mechanic. At this point, she's just happy to have a cushy job with free room and board." Tomoko said bluntly. "Hell, the fact she didn't just dip and want to stay is clear to me that she's completely submitted to being your servant. And she's probably willing to put out and do whatever to keep in your good graces. Because it's neither that or taking a risk in the unknown."

"She basically admitted defeat." Isaribi said as they went back upstairs.

"Well kids, I made scrambled eggs, bacon, and toasted some waffles. Come and get it!" Bea said.

"Thanks Ms. Dover!" Naruto said hurriedly getting to a plate to eat.

The group had happily eaten, making for a rather surreal scene before Naruto got a text on his phone.

"Yara, if you want to take Kidlat to the vet, you have Neenah give you a lift." Naruto remarked.

"Can you take Hongli with you? I'll pay you for it." Isaribi offered.

"Nah, don't worry about paying. It's a vet bill and I got…14 million. I can pay for all the vet bills, just make sure you buy me lunch." Yara said, taking Hongli up.

"You be good for auntie Yara, now." Isaribi cooed at Hongli to let out a soft purr.

Yara left with Hongli and Kidlat to the door to see Neenah in a maid outfit waiting beside an armored [Cognoscenti]. Naruto brought Suiko to her before telling her that Yara was coming along.

"Of course, Mr. Uzumaki." Neenah said before they were all loaded in the car.

Naruto watched them go before going back in.

"Well, me and Isaribi are heading out. What about you Tomoko?" Naruto asked.

"I'm coming with you. I need the work." Tomoko said. "Ben, you coming?"

"Taking the morning off. Me and the guys are going to meet up at the apartment for a morning game sesh." Ben said sheepishly. "So my mom offered to handle the garage in my absence."

"Speaking of that, I should get down there." Bea said before taking Ben by the shoulder. "You still need to drop me off there."

"Not if I call for a car." Tomoko said getting her phone. "Honestly, I should give you one in the first place. There's a black XLS outside. Keys should be in it."

"Oh, thanks…just let me clean up the dishes." Bea said.

After the cleanup, everyone left Tomoko's. Tomoko was driving her new Jester as Isaribi was riding along in Naruto's Merryweather Mesa.

"Ok, I have to go get this thing modded at LSC. Where do you want me to meet you?" Tomoko asked.

"Forum Street. We'll be waiting at On the Bone." Naruto said, taking a turn.

Tomoko punched it for the closet LSC before wheeling in her car. With no worry about the money, she got the best performance upgrades (the armor, EMS, brakes, turbo tuning, nitrous, transmission, roll cage, and suspension) first. For the bumpers, a carbon splitter with canards for the front and a carbon rear diffuser for the back. She kept the exhaust pipes in their stock from opting to change the lights to Xenon quality. For the back roof, she opted for black rear louvers. Skirt and spoiler choices were filled by a carbon skirt and a GT Wing. Tomoko had an orange underglow set to the front, sides, and back of the car before having the car painted a pearlescent dark green while leaving the secondary color to remain black. The last thing was getting bulletproof tries, Diamond Cut rims painted black, and orange tire smoke before ensuring the tracker was working. Tomoko paid with no issue as 100 Gs simply wasn't too big of a dent at the moment.

Tomoko took in the purr of her car's engine as she was tearing through the streets until she was in Families turf and arriving at the Tomoko.

"Damn girl, you look fine." Lamar said, eyeing her up.

"Sorry, I'm off the market." Tomoko said as Lamar sucked his teeth.

"Naruto, I have to ask, what's with the suit and overcoat looking like an orange Dick Tracy?" Franklin teased as there were snickers.

"I felt like looking fancy." Naruto said. "Lamar, got something for me?"

"I do." Gerald said, coming out of a dark corner.

"Fuck, G…can you not come out of shadows like your black ass afraid of sun? I was already coming to give them a lick." Lamar said.

"Gerald, right?" Tomoko said. "I'll take the job."

Gerald looked over at Naruto.

"Oh right, I haven't introduced my…Shateigashira, Tomoko Kuroki." Naruto said. "She rounds out the quartet that I, Isaribi, and Yara are in. Tomoko can get shit done."

"All right then." Gerald said as she followed him. "All right, here's the lick. Alright, so today you gonna stick some cats up for their stash. The Ballas and the Vagos are doing the deal at the Los Santos State Gas Company yard in Banning. Get over there, interrupt it, and get the package. Bring it back to me, I'll break off some change, we pretend like nothing happened. You good?"

[Deal Breaker]

"Got it." Tomoko said, accepting the mission.

Tomoko got in her car and drove off while calling for Nora on her phone.

"Nora, it's Tomoko. Any Kobun available to assist me? I need them in Banning."

"Ok, Mitsune and Charlotte are available and they'll meet you at Hearty Taco on Dutch London Street. You're welcome." Nora said, hanging up as Tomoko briefly glanced at her mini-map.

She found the place to see Charlotte was stuffing a taco down her mouth. Mitsune looked a bit more at ease with the new promotion…being that she only needed to wear the TF Ronin jacket and free rein for everything else.

"Ladies." Tomoko said getting out of the car.

"What are we in for?" Charlotte said.

"Drug bust and a robbery. Hope you both came strapped." Tomoko said.

"I'm still going to need a car…" Mitsune said.

"Look on the bright side, after we deal with those pushers…you can take one of their cars." Tomoko said. "Now get in and let's go."

Mitsune got in the car as Charlotte went for her own car, her trusty Dukes. As they were driving, Mitsune was steeling herself for it, loading her Tec-9.

"I'm still not used to living this life." Mitsune said sheepishly.

"Being a criminal?" Tomoko asked.

"Yeah, but being so active. I…lived a pretty sedentary life…and I got away with it for a bit too much mooching off money from people. If it wasn't for the fact that my rep is kinda in the toilet in Japan, I'd actually try to get a writing job here." Mitsune said. "But I need cash…and considering a 9 to 5 just isn't for me."

"Well, we're coming up on them. Let's see you do a drive-by." Tomoko said as Mitsune smirked.

Driving up, Tomoko let Mitsune and Charlotte unload a hail of bullets at the Vagos and Ballas before she drifted to a stop seeing a coming SUV. Tomoko smoothly got out, got her gold minigun out to shred the people and SVU in a hail of bullets leaving behind nothing but an explosion.

"Damn." Mitsune said as Tomoko took up the package Gerald wanted.

"Well, stop lollygagging and take up the spoils. You and Charlotte can split it." Tomoko said going to her car. "Meet me at Casa Cristina and don't dawdle."

Mitsune scrambled out as Tomoko drove off. Charlotte took half of the spilled money before leaving Mitsune with the rest. Mitsune snatched up the money, several ammo clips, and spied a gold plated Compact Rifle with a drum clip among the wreckage. Finding ammo for it, she snatched it up, seeing a small but strong assault rifle as an upgrade. She looked around the wrecked cards for something she could take for herself seeing it…an Imponte Ruiner with a glass t-top. It was painted black with a unique yellow trim and a gold iridescence paint tint. She found the keys and made off with it, resolving to get the car repainted. She would join up with Tomoko and Charlotte as they arrived to deliver the package.

"Nice." Gerald said before paying all three. "I'll call if I got anything else for you."

Both parties left.

[Mission Completed! +$1000 +500RP]

"You ok, Mitsune?" Charlotte asked.

"No, just thinking about my mistakes. I kinda screwed up with a guy I liked…he had other girls who liked him too. Most of us were pretty shit to him or simply too young for him at the time. Well, one of them who was too young…made a move. And they're fucking." Mitsune said bitterly. "Even worse…I walked in on them once….and Shinbou insisted on continuing while staring me dead in my face."

"Ouch." Tomoko said.

"Yeah, my fault for going over to Keitaro's apartment and staying there thinking she wouldn't try something." Mitsune said. "Shinobu always did like him…hell…love him. And now she's at an age where she can pursue it with no issues. So yeah…staying there is no longer an option."

"You were trying to see if you were in his pants and Shinobu beat you to it." Tomoko said plainly.

"My one regret in life was never taking the chance to get my head out of my ass and snatch up Keitaro when he was on the outs with Naru before all this happened." Mitsune said wistfully. "Maybe we would be living different lives if we did."

"If you need a place to stay, the hotel penthouse you meet us has rooms you can stay in until you get an apartment of your own." Tomoko said. "But come on, we got other jobs to deal with that."

The women would get in their cars and drive off.

Naruto, Yara, and Isaribi walked out of the depot where their rides were waiting for them on the sidewalk.

"So are you two going to actually get a tattoo or was it an empty promise?" Yara teased.

"We'll do it…I'll just do today." Naruto said. "After I'm going to just chill, maybe do some shopping for some new fits."

"I'm going to deal with Simeon…what about you Yara?" Isaribi asked.

"Warehouse stuff…" Yara said as they went their separate ways.

Naruto arrived at the nearest tattoo parlor, Los Santos Tattoos, and waltzed in thinking of what he could get. The System made it easy for him to preview them and he opted to get the [Geisha Bloom] on his upper right arm. He walked out with four grand less, but ink on his right arm. Naruto's phone rang with Olivia being the one to call. He answered to hear Olivia chuckling.

"Naruto, dear, are you doing anything today?" Olivia asked.

"No, schedule's free. Is this a job offer or a booty call?" Naruto said as Olivia asked.

"It might be the second depending on the mood, but I wanted to ask if you could take me out to the Bastion for an early lunch. My daughter's working there as a dishwasher and I felt like adding to the amount of dishes she has to work." Olivia said.

"Well I'm not going to say no to that." Naruto said. "I'll come get you."

Given he was already in his Infernus, he simply rode right on over to her place and honked the horn. Olivia came out of the home and into his car in her finery.

"I never did thank you properly for helping with my mother." Olivia said.

"Don't mention it. As far as we know, she's still on the run." Naruto said slyly.

"If only I could get rid of my in-laws. Trust me, it's like I'm surrounded by entitled people. I hate that…especially given it rubbed off on me." Olivia said with a sigh.

"At least you're self-aware." Naruto said.

"My sister-in-law always gives me a headache over not having a job and my daughter-"

"I'm sorry, last time I checked being a mother is a job. And why the hell is she on your ass to have a job? Your husband makes a lot of money." Naruto interrupted. "And your daughter? Last I checked, her father is also to blame for you. Moreso, considering he clearly nerfed you in your parental ability."

"Ain't that the truth…I can't blame him entirely. I wasn't exactly a shining example either, but I did get back at my in-law by blowing her husband. I feel bad for him…considering the amount he blew, it's clear his wife isn't getting him off at all." Olivia said as Naruto shuddered.

"Think she's cheating?" Naruto asked.

"Is it sad I think that she's probably lost all interest in sex and Ronald's just suffering in silence?" Olivia said as Naruto laughed. "Guess not."

They arrived at the restaurant where Tiana managed to get a parking lot for the place.

"I didn't ask for you to dress up for me, but I'm liking the outfit." Olivia said, biting her lip.

"I felt like going to work fancy." Naruto said as they went inside.

The place was decked out with a Southern bayou theme with shades of green with the upper parts of the walls and ceiling having a night starry sky theme.

"Tiana really did make this place sectored up to make money. A bar, bakery, tavern, and classic restaurant all in one. Though, the fancy tables are locked all 'till dinner." Naruto said. "Hope you don't mind tavern food."

The place was divided up with The Flie's Nest being the open bar, the Bastion's center main hub being the fancy restaurant, and the Steamboat Sally to the right that functioned as the bakery and diner that served breakfast and lunch.

"Naruto, there are times where the simple stuff can appeal by virtue of eating the complex for so long. As long as Tiana's leading the cooking and training her assistant chefs, I'll be all in for it." Olivia said, taking his hand. "I'm buying."

"No need, I own a chunk of the place, remember." Naruto said as they took to a table.

A server came up to give them menus before immediately recognizing Naruto.

"Mr. Uzumaki, it's a pleasure to you're here. The boss lady will be informed so she can cook your meal personally." The server said. "What can I get you both?"

"Well for one, a glass of red wine on the rocks for the lady."

"Naruto, it's barely noon." Olivia teased. "I'm not one for drinking so early…"

The two would place their orders as the server immediately left leaving the two to chat. A chat was interrupted by someone calling out to Olivia…someone she wished was not here right now. Naruto would see Lydia van der Meer in the flesh, and she resembled her brother being fairly thin. And she was flat just like Victoria. Naruto looked on over at Lydia's husband…the guy Olivia had gotten off. Naruto pieced together that the two younger people his age were their children. The daughter was just as flat, only barely bigger than both her mom and Victoria. The guy was broad shouldered at the least.

"Hello…Lydia." Olivia said, trying to put on a positive face. "What brings you and family both to Los Santos?"

"Business." Lydia dryly. "While you lay about…"

"I thought we were going to visit the family and make it a family vacation. I took time off work so we can go to Los Santos for the week." Ronald said as Naruto shook his head. "You said you'd take time off…"

"Yeah, plans change. You and the kids can have fun while I'm making more money." Lydia said dryly. "But Olivia, what are you up to? And what's with the rent boy?"

"If I was a rent boy, all the money in your bank accounts wouldn't get me to spend a minute with you, let alone sleep with you given all the cobwebs." Naruto said bluntly.

Olivia's mask of elegance slipped as she let out a snort. People were snickering as Lydia glared at him.

"I'm surprised Martin didn't tell you. Mr. Uzumaki worked with your brother on some business interests with Mr. Madrazo." Olivia said as Lydia flinched. "Now I don't think I want you to sour that relationship by being rude."

"Where are my manners?" Lydia said.

"Nonexistent." Olivia snarked as Naruto chuckled. "Like a few other things."

"Hmph, I am Lydia van der Meer…you would be wise to learn the name that's got connections and potentially work for your organization." Lydia said.

"Pass. I worked with your brother and I ended up trying to screw me over." Naruto said. "It was actually Olivia who managed to smooth things out. I'm not taking the chance for you to knife me in the back. Now if you excuse us, we have lunch to consume."

Tiana came out with the meal for them being a pasta dish with two sets of a shrimp cocktail. Fruity drinks were placed down for them.

"Thank you, partner. It's good to be in business…" Naruto said. "How's Victoria?"

"Adjusting. At least she knows that mouth shit under my nose." Tiana said before looking up at Lydia. "Miss, there's a table near you. I'll have a server to give you some menus."

Lydia and her family went to another table leaving Olivia to sigh in relief as Naruto and Olivia did enjoy the meal together.

"I'm assuming her hands are as dirty as Martin's." Naruto asked.

"Yes, she's just as dirty in white collar crime. I do know that her son, Bryce, has aided his mother in some of those dealings. Good on you for refusing her offer, woman's an entitled snake." Olivia said before she sipped her drink. "A real ego that one…"

Naruto raised an eyebrow.

"I know, but I'm at least self-aware." Olivia said as Naruto agreed as he noticed something. "What?"

"Victoria's talking to Lydia." Naruto said as Olivia looked over.

She watched Lydia slip Victoria some cash which got Olivia fuming.

"I wouldn't be surprised if Victoria claims it as a tip." Naruto said.

"Don't worry about it. She thinks she's smarter, better than me, but pride cometh before the fall. I promise you that I'll fuck this bitch over." Olivia said darkly. "Think you can take me home now?"

"Yeah, I'll call over to get the plates and for us to leave a tip."

(A/N: Meanwhile, Yara managed to get six crates…and spray painted a dick on the FIB Building. Jokes aside, I wanted to incorporate more of the newer 'The Book Club' comics especially with their eleventh chapter completed. Considering the heist up ahead, let's just say it'll all tie in together. Speaking of 'The Book Club' comics, it's funny that in the last few issues how much depth Olivia, how much I grew to despise Nicole (11th issue is her second worst), how Patty remains the best girl (with hiccups), and…how static Lorraine is. I did write Lori out in favor of the other Lorraine…mostly out of need because she worked best with the group. But the group's not together. But moving on, the Series A heist is coming up next. Given it's a rather untraditional heist, I look forward to it.)
