"Quinn's auction. Iraq's somewhere inside. Security is gonna be tight and it won't be long before someone reports my mess at the car dealer's. Just find Iraq, scan his chain and make a clean getaway. Sounds easy enough. Something tells me it's not going to go down that way." I said to myself, going to the place where the auction was held.
I showes them my invite and they let me in.
One guy came to me and said:
"Sorry, Mr. Crispin, we need your weapon."
"Wouldn't wanna be rude." I said, giving him my gun.
"Mr. Quinn said you'd like to see the raw merchandise."
"I'd like to know what I'm paying for."
I went to the other side of the room and met my host.
"I asked for my merchandise to be delivered here. Where can I find Poppy?"
"Mr. Quinn got your request. Don't worry, she's here. I have to tell you Mr. Quinn's rules, through. All payments must be made in cash or through a secured account. If you want to sample any of the girls before they open the bidding, you gotta pay a small fee. Premium girls are off limits- don't want to lower the value, if you get me."
"Yeah, I get you." I said, following him to the main room. There was a huge monitor on a wall, like in the bunker, with the girls and the prices for them.
"Mr. Quinn is up there with Iraq." said the host.
I climbed the stairwell and there were they. I prepared my phone. Quinn and Iraq have found out about the mess at the dealership, the fact that someone killed their people, and Quinn sent Iraq to find out who did all of that. It wouldn't take much from this point to discover that I was the one behind all of that. I had to hurry. Iraq left and walked towards me, moment when in a second I scanned his chain.
"Mr. Crispin. Please excuse me." said Iraq, leaving the place.
"Our honored guest has arrived." said Quinn.
"Mr. Quinn, unfortunatley I can't stay."
"Enjoying our little pagent?"
"Which one? The one down there or up here?"
"Ah, my associate, Mr. Iraq. He's a loyal soldier, but he is young. What do you see when you look down there?" asked Quinn, pointing towards all the people downstairs watching the girls on the screens.
"I see...someone flexing his power."
"Mr. Iraq sees this as an auction. He sees rewards. Experience has taught me not to be manipulated... Not to back down. I don't detect an accent, Mr. Crispin. Life has taught me a great many things to get where I am. And luck had nothing to do with anything." said Quinn, then left.
When he opened the door, Poppy came in.
"Mr. Crispin." she said, walking towards me. She then got close to me and whispered: "They don't trust you."
"I know. We're leaving." I said.
"I overheared them talking about Crispin. They know something is wrong with you -- you need to get out of here, now -- through the basement."said Poppy.
"Come with me."
"No, I won't leave my friends."
"Okay, I'll send help." I said.
I left Poppy there, I had to get out alone and by myself.
I took down a guard with my telescopic baton and took his gun.
"I better restock my weapons. Everyone's out to kill me now." I said to myself.
I got to the basement, there were more armed guys there who saw me. I saw some explosives and I turned them on. The explosion was huge. I shot a couple more then I was able to leave. Then I called the cops to come to that place.
"Good. Cops will find those girls abd send them someplace safe. As for those bidders? If any slip past the bust, they'll end up on my plate eventually." I said, leaving. -- "I'll track all these guys. Then I can expose them for what they've done here and shut down this ring."

Suddenly, Yolanda called, scared that Jacks wondered off and left her home. I tracked his phone at Racine Boat Restoration.
"What the hell is doing Jackson in here? Dammit, he thinks his mother's here. This place is mob owned. After the auction mess, these guys will be on high security."
It took me a while to shoot those guys, then I went inside and found Jacks hiding under a desk. It was in the room with the secuity cameras, and Jacks saw everything- he saw how I shot everyone. He was terrified.
"Let me get you someplace safe. Come on."

"That look on Jacks' face. What did I do? I killed every one of them. What was I thinking? That's not who I am... Is it?" I thought.
I arrived with Jacks at Yolanda's house.
"There's so much I wish I could explain to you. I'm sorry about all of this, Jacks. I know It's not easy. Listen, when I have to deal with those bad guys.. I need you someplace safe. That's what makes me strong." I said.
Yolanda came and took Jacks to the home.
She then came to me and said:
"I'm warning you. If I don't hear from his mother soon, I will call the police."
