Life In Liberty City

Chapter 46: Merryweather

The next day...

"So, what was wrong with it?" I asked.

"Your starter is failing, and needs a replacement. That was all. Also I had to replace the sparkplugs as well since they were misfiring. That's the reason why your Mercedes has trouble starting." The shark mechanic says as she gives me the invoice.

"I see. Well thanks for fixing it up." I spoke as I gave her my debit card for payment.

"No prob. And ever since you wiped out both of the mafia's here. I don't have to pay protection for the Spades anymore. So I'll give you fifty percent off of your bill." The shark mechanic says as she swiped my card on the register.

"Gee thanks." I spoke.

Later on, I headed to Broker-Dukes island to meet up with Vortex about the Merryweather situation. I parked and headed into Dukes park as I saw him sitting on the bench reading a newspaper.

"Hey Vortex. Reading the stocks section?" I asked.

"Well, just looking at the Tesla sales that aren't going so great." Vortex says before he puts it down.

"What's going on?" I asked.

"Stan, I know you are one that killed Foreman Eric and stole $400,000 of profits that was supposed to be payment for Merryweather." Vortex calmly says.

"I don't know what you are talking about." I denied.

"Stan, stop lying please. I'm not going to arrest you for that crime anyway." Vortex spoke.

"Then, what is this about?" I asked.

"Merryweather is after you and Loona since they suspect that you had something to do with that crime. And they are trying to find your weed operation business around the industrial area. I'm the reason to prevent them from getting a warrant to search your warehouse." Vortex explains.

"Don't worry. I'm planning on moving... wait. You aren't wearing a wire are you?" I asked as I tried to search him.

"Damn bro! You don't trust me?" He asked as he lightly shoved me back.

"You're a cop." I answered.

"And you're Loona's boyfriend, and I saved your life. You're like a little brother to me." Vortex spoke.

"Fine, sorry." I spoke.

"I just need a favor from you Stan since Merryweather is giving me and Beelzebub a hard time as well." Vortex explains.

"What do you need?" I asked.

He showed me a picture of a specific Merryweather operator that is a grey dog anthro.

"Vince Terrance. He's the leader of the Bravo team of Merryweather. He has been harassing Beelzebub since she refused to pay his team protection since they have been taking advantage of her. They have been attacking her delivery drivers that are delivering her signature alcohol, and vandalizing her clothes store to make her pay for protection." Vortex explains.

"So you want me to kill him and his team?" I asked.

"Yep, but it's not that simple. They are currently hanging in the morgue building in Broker, and it's locked down tight." Vortex explains.

"I do need to find a way to get inside though." I spoke as I turned away for a sec.

"Well, you played death a couple times before right?" Vortex says before he hits me in the back of the head with his baton.
