Chapter 55: Heat of the Second Chain


Los Santos

Friday

Evening would slowly begin to fade into nightfall when Isaribi and Tomoko got the call to come to the house where Agent 14 was in the planning room.

[Heist Finale - The Prison Break]

As the four entered the planning, Agent 14 stopped joking around before clearing his throat.

"Ok, we've got a bit of a problem. Some asshole caught wind of what we've doing." Agent 14 said as Isaribi raised an eyebrow.

"How?" Isaribi asked.

"Doesn't matter. There's a price on his head and we need to move now." Agent 14 said as he got nods all around. "Ok, here's the plan. The transfer schedule shows Bolingbroke is expecting a new arrival. Our demolition person will make that disappear. Then the 'prisoner' and 'guard' will go to their place using our bus. Stay in character until you're in and I'll guide you to the prof. Pilot, pick up the plane and get it to the EVAC point. Now we have a guard outfit and a prisoner outfit…make your choices." Agent 14 affirmed.

"Pilot." Isaribi stated.

"Demo." Yara remarked.

"Guard. I can bullshit my way through." Tomoko said as Naruto grumbled. "So Naruto's prisoner."

"Ok, we got AP Pistols and Special Carbines for everyone…and demolitions got Jerry Can and some Sticky Bombs. So let's get to work. I'll be going to smoke up a nice, crowded public place to operate from." Agent 14 said before leaving.

Naruto and Tomoko got changed before all four left to get a message from the System.

The message went away as they split up.

~TWG:R~

Isaribi was never more grateful for free cab rides and trip skipping as she bid Ai goodbye. She had to give Agent 14 props for paying off airport security, but it was an unknown text message warning her that their window is closing that got her a bit on edge. She got in the plane starting it up before getting it off.

"I'm in the air." Isaribi said over earpiece. "What's your status?"

"I'm about to hit the prison bus." Yara said, speeding down the road in a Sanchez.

Coming up close, Yara jumped off and kicked through the backdoor of the bus scaring the corrections officer and the prisoner. Yara capped the corrections officer before taking control of the bus before stopping the bus. She turned to the prisoner who was thinking he was going to be freed only for him to be shot and thrown back with a sticky bomb on his back. With the explosion behind her, Yara reported she got the bus. Isaribi was having to struggle with evading P-996 LAZERs as Yara arrived at the airfield.

Yara made sure to destroy the bus before Agent 14 had his next instruction.

~TWG:R~

Tomoko arrived at the prison stopping the bus once they got inside. Tomoko got her special carbine out as she led the 'handcuffed' Naruto in. Tomoko debated using her rizz to charm her way through, but there were too many.

"Fuck it." Tomoko said, swapping to her minigun and opening fire against the guards.

"Shit, girl. You didn't-"

"It's not going to matter. Getting this guy is going to cause a shootout. Less people alive, less people can ID us." Tomoko said before switching to her Special Carbine.

Naruto 'freed' himself readied to his MAC 10s. Alarms blared as they pressed on, following the mini-map to get to their target.

"What happened? The alarm-"

"Don't worry, we're getting to Rashkovsky." Tomoko said as Naruto shot down a security guard.

"Hurry. NOOSE was called…the prison is going into lockdown. Our demo woman got a chopper to aid in defending the pilot."

"Roger that." Naruto said as they made it to the central area.

Naruto went to get to the target while Tomoko held off incoming goons.

"Maxim Rashkovsky." Naruto said as Maxim looked up.

The Russian looked drained as there was a crack in his glasses and a big bruise on the right side of his face. There was blood on his prison uniform as well, but Naruto noticed that the System's extraction timer was going on.

"I thought they were sending professionals. I collaborate and nearly get a shiv for pleasure." Maxim said as he helped him up. "Thanks."

"Here." Naruto said giving him a deagle.

"Nice. There are some screws I hope we run into…let's go!" Maxim said as he followed Naruto.

"I got him." Naruto reported.

"Keep him alive and clear the way of NOOSE." Agent 14 remarked.

BEEP! BEEP! Tomoko mowed down a few NOOSE agents in a Brute Police Riot.

"That's our ride." Naruto said as they got on.

"Naruto, check this out. Super heavy armor…" Tomoko said, tossing him and Maxim a vest.

Naruto, to his surprise, found his armor upgraded to which he realized that he could have upgraded his armor. He felt dumb after looking at his phone and seeing that upgrading to 100% level armor would have just cost him 500. Unknown to him, Isaribi and Yara bought theirs the moment Tomoko got into the van after getting the blip from the System. Tomoko was easily able to get them out the front gates to find several NOOSE agents dead and the plane waiting for them. The three scrambled out of the riot van for the plane as Isaribi readied for take off. Everyone got in as Isaribi took the skies.

"Here." Isaribi said, shoving a backpack in Maxim's hands. "Has a change of clothes and all the stuff you need, courtesy of our boss. Now I just need to lose the cops."

Yara was taking out as many as she could as looking to her phone, remembering there were VIP options for SecuroServ. She immediately paid for the 'Bribe Authorities' option getting the cops off their backs.

~TWG:R~

"Time for us to jump!" Isaribi said as she got on her parachute.

Naruto and Tomoko did the same as she opened the door. Maxim took control, thanking them for the help and wishing they were paid well for this before the trio jumped off the plane.

"I should say I'm impressed by your professionalism. I'm not going to go into it, but Rashkovsky is going to be a part of something bigger. Way bigger…I'm going to make a few more inquiries, but in time, we'll need you four. So don't retire on us yet." Agent 14 mused before all three landed on the beach. "Jump successful. Pilot, pick them up and take 'em home."

Yara came down with the Buzzard Attack Helicopter picking up the rest of the crew as they flew for home under the night sky. Once Yara made it within city borders, the world went gray.

The world returned, but the quartet found themselves no longer in the attack helicopter, instead now they were sitting around in the house with glasses and a bottle of booze. Now bothering to question it, they decided to celebrate. Naruto turned on the television to the news before changing the channel to something else.

"Maybe we should take the weekend off before going back to work on Monday?" Tomoko said with a yawn.

"I can live with that." Naruto said.

~TWG:R~

In the IAA Headquarters, Agent 14, now in a suit and tie, entered into the office of a senior colleague.

"Agent 14, I assume the operation is successful."

"Yes, and you can call me by my name, Bernard." Agent 14 said as Bernard chuckled.

"Names are for when we're off duty." Agent ULP said casually. "So it's Agent ULP to you."

"Right…it seems you were right about Isaribi." Agent 14 remarked. "But how did she get a read on me as an agent, so quickly? The meditator didn't say a thing about it."

"Because Ms. Umi's not only experienced, but talented. I believe had circumstances for her youth been different, she'd be an agent working here…or in politics." Agent ULP remarked. "Though it seems she's built herself to be on par with Mr. Bellic alongside this crew of misfits."

"So do I have approval to contact the group for the upcoming operation with Rashkovsky?" Agent 14 asked.

"You do. And there's something else I wanted to discuss with you. There's an up and coming new black-ops organization. A private military/intelligence company…a good ol' spy agency being run by a legendary figure back with the IAA was still called the CIA. The former Agent Monster." Agent ULP said as Agent 14 balked.

"The one who managed to beat back the Russian spies, destroyed the crack empire, and aided in stopping the LS Riots." Agent 14 said as the older agent nodded.

"They are called Epilogue. Obviously, the IAA wanted to secure a working relationship as they're establishing contacts. I'm going to be the middleman between us and them, and I want you to act as an intermediary agent for us and them. An ambassador to keep the 'peace' between us. Toreno is not to be taken lightly. Understood?' Agent ULP said icily as the agent nodded. "They've managed to poach two good agents working Internal Affairs."

~TWG:R~

Bayside. A far out town in Tiera Roboda that unlike its contemporaries was surrounded by vegetation and greenery amid the arid nature of the region. A scenic affluent little place…known for its prolific boat school and marina. A perfect place…for an agency to hide.

Huey Freeman was many things. A former domestic terrorist, a bit of a cynic, a fighter…but a spy was something he'd never thought he'd be. However, given Toreno came for him and Agent Flowers with the offer, he was willing to accept, especially given what it paid. However, he just did not expect to be working with others he knew. Like Riley, he had changed before far taller with sharper eyes and his afro still in place.

"And that's 100. Good job, Huey, you're getting stronger by the day."

Huey grunted as he got off the dirt, exhausted. Of all the people to walk back into his face, Luna Abel was not one of them. Hell, he believed her to be deceased, but here she was. Alive, well, and looking as she had not aged a day at all.

"Luna, I never did ask, but how the fuck did you survive…or look like you didn't age at all?" Huey asked.

"A higher power wanted me to live when I wanted to die, and give me a second chance at life with perks." Luna said cryptically as their phones buzzed. "Looks like we're needed at the office. You're running there."

Huey looked at her with a scowl.

"I'm kidding." Luna said, revealing her car keys. "Come on."

Huey groaned as she sauntered over to her car, a bright red Pfister 811 modded for style and substance. Huey wondered why Luna had to dress up like Lana Kane as if it was not on the nose. Not that another part of him complained. Back then, he could ignore her as crazy…but now he had to acknowledge that she was attractive. He never would admit it, but the way she fought was mesmerizing. He supposed he could blame the martial artist in him that was always taken aback by her.

They arrived at the building next to their front, a clothing store. The building itself looked like a warehouse trying to look like an office building painted blue of all colors. The garage door opened as Luna drove in and parked the car.

"You know, Huey…you're making some real progress. You even caught me slippin' a few times." Luna said before getting that crazed look in her eyes. "Made me feel alive."

"Thanks, Luna." Huey said, getting out of the car. "I can't say you made it easy."

"I mean you were staring at me quite a bit." Luna teased as Huey sputtered. "It's ok…I know your wandering eyes tend to be on me."

Huey's cheeks were red as he groaned with her laughing. She opened up a hidden panel to enter a code on the keypad for the wall to open up revealing an elevator as they all got it as the elevator closed…and then the wall.

[Cues: J Dilla - Show Me What You Got (Instrumental)]

The Epilogue had their base underground. To Huey, it looked like something out of any spy agency depiction in the media, a pastiche of the tropes all too together. Huey broke off from Luna to go to the locker rooms to change into a suit. As he adjusted his tie, he looked at an old photo hanging in his locker of him, Riley, and Grandad.

"Maybe I should call him." Huey thought before closing his locker room.

He entered the meeting room where everyone was gathered, at least the core team of the organization.

The big man in charge, the CEO, the spymaster…Mike Toreno, and like Luna…barely looked like he aged a day.

Luna Abel, Jack Flowers, and Gin Rummy were seated next to each other. The special agents had the most experience in combat in the field. Huey found it ironic Gin and Ed III were basically working for this group, though…Ed was more of a benefactor. There was Wade Heston, former LCPD detective and now…field analyst. He was next to Yuka Kasen, former heiress to the Kasen family and head hacker for the organization.

Finally, there were the recents in Erin Lindsay, the new head of human resources, and Yugito Nii, a fellow field agent.

"Have a seat, Huey." Mike said as Huey sat down. "Everyone, I want to officially introduce my protege that I've been training for the last three years. She's the daughter of someone I worked with years ago. Everyone, meet Vivian B. Johnson."

A hidden door opened as the young woman came out to reveal herself. She stood at five foot ten with light brown skin, thin lips, light hazel eyes, and sleek dark brown shoulder-length hair in a bob that sits at her cheek having bangs that framed her suit. She wore a Perseus onyx skirt suit, a dark green long coat, black low heeled boots, a gold Crowex Datejust watch, green earrings, and a green tie.

"A pleasure to meet." Vivian said calmly, taking a seat next to Toreno.

"Now we got a person…or persons of interest for people we may want to hire for some jobs for us. While also observing them." Toreno said using a remote to bring out a screen.

Mike got their images on screen of Naruto, Isaribi, Yara, and Tomoko.

"Isaribi?" Heston said, surprised.

"You know her?" Mike remarked.

"Worked with her in the past." Heston said. "Good kid."

"Quite a record…and quite a story. Despite all the 'crimes' she's done, doesn't even have anything of a police record in LC. Accusations, but nothing concrete. Heck of a juvie record…before it got expunged." Mike remarked. "And as for the others…Levin's a ghost. Tomoko's got no real record of crime in the US. And this Uzumaki fellow…also had a juvie record quite long before it got expunged."

"They also have an organization in the form of Tidal Fox. Wasn't able to get a hierarchy…but what information I got...this Naruto guy runs the show." Vivian said.

"You think this nigga's a poser for Isaribi?" Gin asked.

"No. Definitely a partner of equal…or near equal footing." Yugito said. "I won't put him as brainy, but he's no idiot. Nor a poser."

"Thank you, Yugito." Toreno said. "Yes, this group has actually done us some major favors. For one, putting Fukuda into power which allows us the means to foreign funding and an inside man for Zaibatsu. They got rid of the Invaders allowing us to swoop in and take several assets of theirs. What Kagura had was quite valuable. Hell, getting rid of those Desi boards allows me to secure Amon Dard to work for us as a comptroller. He and his family have moved here and all it cost was some property tax paid off. Point being…that they are an organization that we can see as an ally of sorts. A fair weather business partner."

"Meaning we need someone to extend the olive breach." Erin remarked.

Toreno considered Lester, but Lester agreed to working with and not for them.

"I might be able to help with that. Due to one of my father's OGs working with Isaribi against the Italian mob's remains in Venturas, they'd had people keeping an eye. Same people that will gladly give me intel. And it seems two of Tidal Fox's higher ranked members just rolled into town. I did some digging." Vivian said taking over the keyboard to enter some data. "Jase and Alex DaWae. Recently married…so honeymoon. Looks like they're on the mob's shitlist. Now we're all aware that the mob is the remains of the Sindacco family. Now there's the recent development of Toni Cripiani reforging a mob group from the days of old. This is a problem, more so…that the Cripiani family is trying to get the Venturas mob to join them. Thankfully, old grudges remain. Despite this, if we play guardian angel for Alex and Jase, we get our olive branch and put down what needs to be history."

Toreno clapped for Vivian.

"I taught you well." Toreno said. "The question is who will go?"

"Do you have any details on either Alex or Jase? Something useful." Heston requested.

"Here's what I have. Jase is about a year older than me, he had strong ties to Cashlin Dard…to which the argument could be made for them being close friends before she backstabbed him. He was a high-ranking member of the Invaders, well-liked and was considered for leadership as he was close to Matt and good at the trade. He's got connections all over LS via customers he aids with tech stuff. Think underground IT guy. Plenty of people of ill repute speak highly of him. He's also got an online gaming presence, typically nerd stuff. Family's all over the place, but no criminal history of note aside from a distant uncle being an OG of Grove back in the day." Vivian remarked, putting their files up on screen. "Now Alex is about 26. Former college student who was studying feminism and a part of feminist group of troublemakers until she met her first husband. They married…but he died but not leaving Alex with a kid. Had to streetwalk to get by and somehow she and Jase became associated. From what I could get, while it appears their romance was a whirlwind, they've known each other for a long while. A few years actually. Seems with The Invaders going to shit, and both of them being a target from the Buffalo Girls and the Invaders led them to get together. So it seems they're actually in love and this is a woman trying to nail a subservient wallet. So if we want to get in close, we need a couple."

Luna had an idea and volunteered herself and Huey.

"We could easily pass for a couple. I've known Huey long enough…plus it'll be a good experience for him to be out in the field." Luna said, being professional about it. "Says on file that Alex is a combat specialist, something I can relate to. Huey could relate to Jase easily."

Huey did not know what was scarier, her crazed or being completely professional. Huey hoped Toreno would not accept but the hope was dashed. Huey internally was torn as part of him was really eager to go with her…the other half was terrified.

"You'll need some backup. Flowers, you'll serve secondary. Pick up White Shadow from Fort Carson Medical Center and debrief him." Toreno said before getting up. "On that note, the meeting was dismissed. Huey, Luna, and Jack, be on your way to Venturas and get to work."

Everyone left as Vivian got a phone call.

"Hello. Mom, I'm here. It's barely been a day, nothing's happened yet. Yes, I got the deagle you packed with my lunch. I didn't really need it, I had plenty of guns on me. Yeah, I know I can never have enough guns. Tell my brothers, it's all fine…I'll call them if I need them. Yeah, love you too." Vivian said.


(A/N: The second heist is done and the Humane Labs heist is around the corner. I think I'll have them start the HL heist come the end of the weekend. The A-plot. The B-plot? Everything that's going on with Las Venturas and Bayside. The C-plot would be the minor stuff with Lana. Moving on, Naruto having to get last pick on a job is basically the end result of him…well being a generalist. Isaribi's a pilot, Tomoko's a hacker (technically Isaribi too), and Yara's technically got better training. Not that it makes Naruto weak per say, but it seems he has a limited skillset. Of course, I do have an interest in him learning to pilot.)

(A/N2: Moving on, after 51 chapters, I have unveiled the agency I was building up. Epilogue. Originally, I considered the cast of Archer to make up the numbers for the organization with Mike Toreno. Over time, however, I decided against it given I've already added them in so many series of mine, so I looked within. Thus, the Boondocks came to mind. Huey, Jack Flowers, the White Shadow, Gin Rummy, Ed III, and Luna came to mind and it deserves some explanations. Huey was recruited via recommendation from Jack and the White Shadow. As for Luna, well let's just say it's obvious who saved her and it's clear Mike knows more than he lets on.)

(A/N3: Vivian Johnson has been introduced at last. For those wondering, her father is none other than the Grove legend himself, CJ. As for who Vivian's (and her brothers') mother is, I think my little conversation I put there is a hint to it. Let's see who figures it out.)
