Chapter 67: The Final Bits of Setup


Los Santos

Monday

Riley arrived at the Heist House ready for action. Honestly, he was still figuring out if he liked the outfits or not. They were 'gangsta'...but slid more to be an 'Asian biker'. Not that he could not pull it up.

"After this job, I'm getting some black pants." Riley thought as he was let in.

"What good, Riley?" Naruto said as Riley daps him.

"Ready to get that paper. What we in for?" Riley asked eagerly.

"Something straightforward…we're stealing a helicopter." Tomoko said. "Nothing could possibly go wrong."

Ironically, despite Tomoko saying, Murphy's law did not rear its ugly head. They managed to do it with Yara having the forethought to ensure every other chopper there was trashed except for the ones they were taking in.

"Ok, Yara. I have to admit that was pretty dope." Riley said. "All those explosions were like a big-ass firework show."

Riley was playing a Frogger holding the rear as Tomoko and Yara rode in their own Frogger holding the front. Naruto was in the target chopper in the middle

"Yo, 13. We got the thing. Where do you want it?"

"The same spot you dropped the Insurgents."

Easy enough. The group arrived to find Agent 13 and his guys getting out of one of the houses as they landed.

"All right, excellent work. I already called Isaribi, one of you guys picked her up and got back to the house. Time we delivered the EMP." Agent 13 affirmed.

Riley saw he got paid and flew off bidding his friends goodbye as he flew off for Paleto Bay. The three would pick up Isaribi, who had a bit of bed hair, and return to the Heist House for the final setup.

[Humane Raid Setup - Deliver EMP]

Isaribi yawned and Naruto offered to fly the helicopter as they all got back into the Frogger. Agent 13 had reminded them that the LAPV was waiting for them at the safehouse along with more of the plan. Naruto would bring the chopper down as Isaribi finished her coffee.

"Ok, I'll take the wheel." Isaribi said as they put on their masks. "Let's get this done."

The four got in the Insurgent as the next objective was to go to the labs themselves. Yara whistled at the ammo and suppressors they got as Isaribi was more thinking on what to expect. Bit by bit, they arrived at the sight of the labs and she pulls over to the side.

"Ok, I've tapped into the live feed of the place, it's on loop but it won't be stable for now. I'll give control of the camera to you all…send two of your teammates out to take out any Merryweather guards in the way. Clear a path to the bay for the Insurgent. 13, out."

"On it." Naruto said. "So who's going out?"

"Yara, you're with me." Isaribi said as she got out with her.

Naruto took the wheel while Isaribi put on her mask, readying her Marksman Rifle . She took aim and sniped both guards at the gate. Naruto would drive up to it with Isaribi and Yara hanging on the sides before they got there. Yara dragged the bodies out the sight before using a Molotov to light them on fire.

"Looking through the cameras. I see that there's going to be nine guards in the way. Three people can split up to take on three." Naruto said as Tomoko got out.

Each had a preference with Isaribi getting up high to snipe guards, just as Niko had taught her. Yara was up close and personal using her mother's machete in combo with a bullet to the head. Tomoko roasted her three all at once with her flamethrower. As they screamed, she simply unloaded rifles bullets into them.

"Jeez Tomoko, a flamethrower? Poor bastards." Naruto said to himself as he drove a bit faster.

With the way clear, Naruto arrived at the target to which Agent 13 told him to hack the terminal door. Getting out, he got onto doing that, taking his time given the hacking minigame in question.

"Damn it, I should have asked the girls to do this." Naruto grumbled as he got another right. "Almost….got it!"

The garage door opened as Naruto drove the Insurgent in place as Yara pulled up with a Boxville.

"Get in!" Yara yelled as Naruto got in the back.

"Time to pull out!" Agent 13 remarked. "We're going to be losing control over the live feed."

Yara did not need to be told twice as she drove out of there as she could be the thing got off and the alarms blaring in.

"Excellent work, all four of you. Our setup is done, and now it'll be soon time to raid the place." Agent 13 remarked.

[Heist Setup Passed! +$25,650, +3800 RP]

They had ditched the van to make sure it was torched before coming near Sandy Shores. The time was nearly three a.m. and everything was quiet.

"I'm exhausted…" Tomoko groaned with a yawn.

"I forgot you are not used to staying up near 24 hours." Yara remarked.

"Who would be up at three in the morning?!" Naruto asked.

Then they heard an alarm clock ringing from Trevor's trailer as they heard Trevor.

"Oh boy, 3 a.m burrito buffet!" Trevor said,.

They could hear him scarfing down burritos, and they were at a loss for words.

"You know what…fuck it, let him enjoy his buffet." Isaribi said as they went into the safehouse.

All four slumped onto various spots in the safehouse slipping off to sleep right away.

Skies

Mitsune felt bad that she convinced Kaolla to spring for a private plane, but she knew it would be the safest way for her to slip out of the country. She was still struggling to sleep compared to Kaolla. She had thought back to Motoko, who seemed to have second thoughts about going on the trip. Ultimately, Motoko upon offered, refused to come.

"Can't sleep?" Shinobu said, sitting next to her.

"Had a bad dream." Mitsune admitted.

"You're running from something." Shinobu said sternly.

"Me…no…"

"I know your ticket's one way like mine." Shinobu said as Mitsune sweated nervously. "And asking Kaolla to commission a private jet…something's up. So cut the crap, and be honest."

"I am running. I owe a few loan sharks money…and a few people wanting my head considering Naru's not around to ward them off. Naru's a corporate asshole and out of reach so all the people she's pissed off are coming after me." Mitsune explained. "Naru wouldn't bother to at least help me…and I wanted to see Keitaro to ease my guilty conscience. I did him dirty, and I shouldn't have…"

"You shouldn't have, but you did because you're a selfish bitch." Shinobu bluntly said. "And now you're sorry because you can't handle the consequences. Well, how does it feel to be Keitaro's shoes? Sucks, doesn't it?"

Mitsune flinched looking up at Shinobu's cold eyes.

"All alone, no one having your back, and fearful of getting hit." Shinobu said darkly. "The only reason I didn't just try to take you out as you didn't physically harm him yourself. No, you're just a pretty face with the spine of a jellyfish. But I have one thing to say to you…"

Before she could ask, Mitsune found herself grabbed by a collar with a switchblade near her throat from Shinobu who glared into her eyes. It dawned on her that she did not even have Motoko to back her up.

"You better beg Keitaro for his forgiveness…" Shinobu said. "On your hands and fucking knees. Understood?"

Mitsune barely sputtered out a yes before Shinobu withdrew the blade, putting it away and going to another row to head up to sleep. Mitsune would be able to sleep but her thoughts drifted to how much she screwed up.

(A/N: And how it's time for the heist, but we'll have one filler chapter before then because our merry quartet needs some sleep. Let the group rest, and it's time for the secondary cast to shine.)
