The story of Payday

Chapter 14: A favor

With the rat dead the crew felt a huge weight lifted off their shoulders. Even with Hector dead, however, they still had a debt with The Dentist. While Bain worked on the plan to hit the Golden Grin he got a job to hold the crew over. The job was from Vlad, it was simple but chaotic just Vlads style. Plus having just gotten rid of all the evidence of them now was the time to make bold moves. The crew would be hitting a Murkywater storage facility downtown to be stealing something for Vlad. They would zipline in, take the things, and then escape in a train Vlad commandeered. On the job were Dallas, Chains, Dragon, and the new recruit Bonnie. The four went to the roof of a neighboring building and ziplined into the heart of the complex. The blitzkrieg approach of the gang was no match for that of the poor Murky guards. While they would never call the cops the gunfire alerted a civie in earshot so the crew was on borrowed time. 

"What are we looking for?" Dallas asked.

"Open up the containers, look for one that has an AC unit inside," Vlad told them.

The crew did as told until Dragon opened up one to reveal a bunch of fans.

"I think I found it," He said as the crew heard sirens in the distance.

"Ok, what now?" 

"It works on a temperature regulation system so if it gets too hot the doors will open"

"So what jam the fans?" Chains asked.

"Da"

The crew looked around and Chains found a crowbar to shove in there while Dragon found a pipe and Bonnie used a piece of wood. Just as they finished jamming the AC the cops showed up in full force hoping to rebuild their case against the clowns. As the two sides exchanged gunfire the container opened and Chains ran inside to grab the loot but was left speechless when he saw the contents. 

"What the fuck" He said.

Inside were 8 lead cases with Russian markings. Chains approached one of them and opened it.

"OH, WHAT THE FUCK. IS THAT WHAT I THINK IT IS?" He screamed shutting the case.  

Inside the case was a nuclear warhead.

"FUCKING NUKES? WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM VLAD? WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU THINKING YOU PSYCHOPATH" Bain screamed into his ear.

"What? You would have never agreed to the job if I told you what you were stealing" Vlad remarked.

"YOU'RE GODDAMN RIGHT WE WOULDNT HAVE"

"Well come on you've already made the trip. No point going home now is there?"

Bain took a moment to calm himself.

"One of you move them and the rest of you protect him as if he was Jesus Christ himself" Bain instructed. 

"It's not all bad. There is a gift for you in the back left of the yard" Vlad told them.

"I'll go see what it is," Dallas said running away.

He got to the back left of the courtyard and opened the shipping container that was there and smiled. Inside was a black muscle car with a red interior. Dallas quickly got inside and started it up.

"I'm sorry is that the Longfellow?" Bain asked.

"Keen eye my friend," Vlad said laughing.

"The fuck is a Longfellow?" Dallas asked.

"It was the prized car of Muammar Gaddafi," Bain said in awe.

"Like the damn dictator?" Chains said.

"Bingo. I knew Murky was far-reaching but Jesus" Bain remarked. 

Dallas drove the beauty over to the container where Chains loaded the nukes into the back of the car. The rest of the crew got in and Dallas tried his best to drive with the added weight. He sped his way through the complex towards the train but was stopped dead in his tracks when the cops revealed their ace of spades. A SWAT van with a mounted turret blocked their path. 

"OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT" Dallas screamed as the turret began raining fire on them. 

Dallas threw the car in reverse and did a J-turn and managed to get around the van without erasing DC of the planet. They made it to the train and quickly loaded the nukes into it then closed the door and took off. 

"Vlad that is complete bullshit. I'm done with you endangering the life of my crew. We are done" Bain said.

"Oh come on stop being a pussy" Vlad said to no response. 

Shortly after the nuke fiasco, Bain got a call.

"Need guns?" Gage said.

"Uhh yeah. Where have you been?" Bain asked.

"Expanding the business"

"Is that right?"

"Yeah. So usual place?" 

"Yeah I'll send a few guys," Bain said hanging up."

"There I set up the meeting. We good now?" Gage asked.

The man holding a knife to his throat simply shook his head no. The next day Dallas and Chains were sent to pick up the guns. They met in the usual spot of a parking garage but when they got there it was only Gage and an older man in a white suit with tattoos adorned all over his body. 

"Whos your friend?" Dallas asked.

"Oh, you mean my captor aka the prick who been holding me, hostage, for a week," Gage said.

Dallas and Chains both raised their guns but the man did not even move. 

"My name is Jiro. I was told that your boss Bain could help me find my son Kento" Jiro said in a very thick Japanese accent.

Dallas sighed and facepalmed.

"I'll let him know," Dallas said as Jiro handed him a piece of paper with his number on it 

"So you got guns?" Chains asked.

"Does it look like I have fucking guns?" Gage said.

The two just sighed and got back in Dallas's car to head to the safe house.

"So what exotic wears did you guys get?" Bain asked.

"Nothing. It was a setup"

"What," Bain said.

"Some weird fucken Asian dude kidnapped Gage because he wanted a meeting with you" Dallas explained.

"Who?"

"His name was like Jiro or something"

"Wait Jiro?"

"Yeah"

Bain sighed.

"Bring him to the safe house. He's in" Bain said.

"Why" Chains questioned.

"It's a long story but I know him," Bain told him

And with that the gang had yet another new member.
