A day later, I found myself doing very similar jobs I was doing in Empire Bay, but with a fun kick. Alfonso would assign me a familiar job with no shooting such as debt collecting, package drop offs, and driving his people places. Soon, I would be doing jobs with more rush and excitement. Stella gave me a call and said she'd be right over with Alfonso to discuss a big score setup. Something that'll be an excellent contribution to The Fratelli Family.

She came over to my hotel suite about 4 days after my first job in Devlin. She came in followed by Alfonso. We all sat down in the living room and talked about the score while she kept a sketch pad by her and wrote as we all talked.

"Marty this score is probably gonna be the biggest you've ever done. You do understand that your life is on the line for this, don't you?"
"Of course I do Mr. Fratelli."
He looked at Stella, gave her a nod, and went on.
"We're burning a place. It's the headquarters to The Yakuza."
"How do we burn it down sir?"
"We don't "burn it down"."
"Huh?"
I was confused by what he had just said. Stella had handed me a photograph of what looked like the outside of a factory.
"See this Martin?" She asked.
"Yeah. It's a factory."
"Not just any factory. It's Munich Brother's Aviation."
"Aviation? Like airplanes and shit?"
"Yes. Below that factory is a whole 'nother story."
I sat forward a bit more as Alfonso took over.
"They use the basement as a their own Processing Plant. It's where they process stolen goods, guns, drugs, and even people."
"Holy shit. Whada we do about it?"
He paused.
"We cause an explosion."
"But there's a fac-"
"It's not that kinda fire Marty" Stella interrupted.
"The plan is this"

Stella got up and placed a blueprint of the factory on the table and grabbed her pen as she went over what we were looking at.

"This right here is the entrance to the first floor. The real factory. You and Alfonso will start there in disguise. You both will be disguised as elevator repairmen. While working in disguise, you two are gonna locate the elevator to the bottom floor. That's where The Yakuza's Processing Plant. You're gonna blow up the elevator, crippling their escape, and causing a fire in the factory. The place will burn. According to the duration of the fire, it won't reach the workers in time to cause death, and the location of the workers ensure a safe evacuation. You two will make the escape about 5 minutes after the evac. Any questions?"

I thought for a moment. "What about the other workers?"
"They'll be on the top floor. Evacuating will be easy for them."
"As long as there's no one innocent dying, I'm alright."
"Okay. Anything else?"
"No."
"Alright then."

Alfonso seemed to be relaxed with this. He talked to Stella more.

"We got plenty of firepower. All we need is a van."
"I can take care of that dear."
"Alright. And the jumpsuits?"
"I'll get Marty's size and they'll be in by Thursday."
"You, my lady, are a saint" He got up and kissed her forehead as she laughed slightly.

So this is it. We're making a fire look like an accident so a Japanese gang can no longer operate in Devlin. Sounds like a crazy movie plot. I couldn't wait to pull of such a big heist at the start of me just moving here. My first big score and at 18 years old.
