The story of Payday

Chapter 16: Aftershock

Bain was sitting in his chair plotting out the next job when he was contacted by The Elephant.

"Hello, senator. What can I do for you?" Bain asked.

"Nothing. This is a warning. McKendrick turned" He explained.

"What," Bain asked, sitting up.

"I just got off the phone with him. He's completely restructuring the DC police force to counter you guys. He wants to bring in a Sr. agent from the FBI named Solomon Garrett"

"Ok. Thank you" Bain said scrambling.

"This was just self-preservation," The Elephant said hanging up.

Thinking quickly Bain thought of a way to use this restructure to his advantage. He called up a mole he had in the DCPD called Wesley Smith.

"Is it true you are being restructured?" He asked immediately.

"Uhh yeah, we just found out" He responded.

"Ok follow my instructions very carefully," Bain said.

A few days later Wesley walked into Garrett's new office.

"Uhh, Mr. Garrett sir?"

"Yes?" He asked annoyed.

"Uhh I wanted to give you a housewarming gift," Wesley said as he placed a bobblehead on the commissioner's desk.

Garrett looked down at it.

"Thanks"

"I'll get out of your hair now"

"Good"

After this Wesley made his way to the bathroom and phoned Bain.

"It's done"

"Good job," Bain said with a grin creeping across his face.

He looked over to his computer as it slowly started filling up with files from Garretts. The bobblehead the mole had put down was actually a transmitter devise that Bain made. It made it so as long as it was in range anything that was on Garrett's computer was on Bain's. Bain was now always one step ahead. A couple of days after this Chains went out for his morning run through the park as he always does but today was different. He was stopped to catch his breath he took a seat on a bench next to a homeless man. However, this was no ordinary homeless man.

"I have a job," He said.

Chains looked over to see that it was not a homeless guy but in fact, Vlad wearing pink heart-shaped sunglasses.

"Oh motherfucker" He said.

"Long time no see"

"Vlad, what the fuck do you want? I feel like Bain would kill me if he knew I was talking to you after that nuke fiasco" Chains said angrily.

"Ok look I need you guys. I was just in Seattle and I met a very powerful criminal organization. I mean very powerful. I think they could even rival Crime.Net. They need guns so I sell them guns but guns need protection hence you" Vlad explained.

"Go fuck yourself. I'm not saying shit with Bain. Go get yourself a coffee" Chains said as he threw some loose change at Vlad and began running again.

"FUCK!" Vlad shouted as he threw the glasses into the nearby pond.

A few days later the crew was all in the safe house gathered around the TV watching the news coverage of Los Angles. The city had been hit with a massive earthquake a few hours ago and the destruction was immense. Their shock was interrupted by Bain over the intercom.
