Life In Liberty City

Chapter 47: Targeted

   A few hours passed, and things started to settle down, however I'm forbidden to leave the penthouse by Loona until she says so, even if I want to run an errand for groceries, but Moxxie decided to do that for us.

"Can I at least just go to the store?" I asked.

"Nope. You aren't going anywhere till I say so." Loona says in a stern tone.

"Oh come on. You are overreacting." I spoke as I headed to the front door.

Loona instantly picked me up and slammed me on the couch.

"Ow, come on!" I spoke as I tried to get up but Loona pinned me down.

"Stan! It's not safe for you to be in public since you decided to provoke a private army for Vortex." Loona says before she finally lets me go.

"It was just a favor. They never even identified me afterwards." I spoke.

"Still. I'm going to give Vortex a piece of my mind first, and if it's safe tomorrow. We will transfer the weed operation to the casino." Loona says as she heads out the front door.

"But Loona. I..."

I didn't finish my sentence as Millie made me sit back down on the couch.

"Stay where you are, sweetie." She says.

I sighed as I had no choice.

Meanwhile, at the weed warehouse.

"I'm sorry Loona. I should've asked you to help as well. I paid Stan anyway." Vortex explains.

"Even though he's 18, he's still young, and he already got shot before. Just understand that I don't want him to get killed if he does something by himself. If you need help or a favor, you include me as well." Loona explains.

"Alright, alright." Vortex says.

"Almost done packing up everything. But how are we going to get a big truck for the weed harvest equipment?" Fox asked.

"Carmilla Carmine has a truck that will work, and she will come by in an hour to hall everything out. Have you seen any Merryweather activity recently?" Loona asked.

"We haven't seen many soldiers snooping around the industrial area, but we should get this done as soon as possible." Octavia suggests.

"Ok. I'll go pick up Stan. Fox, Falco, you better not screw this up in the process." Loona spoke.

"We aren't idiots." Falco says.

"Well, you two are." Loona says as she heads back to our penthouse.

Later...

"See anyone?" I asked Dasha.

"No Merryweather around." She spoke as she was on the roof of the warehouse while looking through the binoculars.

"I do want to smoke some of your weed, Stan." Verosika says as she carries a bin of my weed.

"Later Verosika. We need to hurry." Clara says as she helps move the plant shelves and tables into the truck.

"Dammit Falco!" Loona shouted as she noticed that he tripped and spilled a bin of weed.

"Sorry." Falco says as he tries to collect it back in the container.

"Calm down Loona. We're fine." I spoke.

"I'm antsy, Stan. I have a bad feeling we are being watched." Loona spoke.
