Liberty Nightmare - A GTA Fan Fiction

Chapter 15: Drop And Rescue

Chapter 15: Drop And Rescue.

The entire journey took about an hour. As the plane flew slowly at a low altitude over Liberty City, Niko received a call from Jacob.

"Hey, Jacob," Niko said in a relaxed tone as he reclined his seat. "How are you?"

"Me is good here me brother," Jacob said with his usual heavy Jamaican accent. "I and I am on me way to Vice City. Badman and I will be waiting for you. I'll see you there, ok star?"

"Sure Jacob," Niko replied calmly. "I'll see you there. I haven't seen Badman for a long time." Badman was the boss and close friend of Little Jacob. He had moved to Vice City to expand his drug dealing empire a few years ago.

Although Niko sounded calm and relaxed, he was actually very anxious and worried as he knows that he might not even be able to make it back alive as he tries to rescue Mallorie. The others in the plane also had the same thoughts. The stress and nervousness intensified as the plane approaches Acter Industrial Park.

"Alright Niko, take care of yourself, star. Me talk to you soon," Jacob said before he hung up.

Niko put the phone away after he hung up. He looked out of his window to admire the view of Liberty City at a bird's eye view. However, the view wasn't what he expected. The city was in ruins and resembles a war zone. While the tall skyscrapers of Algonquin were still standing, many of the shorter buildings were badly damaged or destroyed. Zombies roamed the area like ants while looking for more victims to attack. Fires were everywhere, but the Liberty City Fire Department (FDLC) was nowhere in sight. Not a single fire engine was anywhere near the fires, let alone attempt to douse the flames. Occasionally, very brief but bright flashes of light were spotted near dark alleyways and on top of certain buildings. Niko assumed that these must be gunfire.

"Alright guys," Luis said as he walked from the cockpit with a parachute strapped on him while holding three more red parachutes in his hands. "We're fast approaching Acter Industrial. So, take one of these."

He then started handing out one parachute each to everyone but Yusuf, who was going to control the plane before, during and after the four of them jump off.

"When ready, pull this ripcord in order to deploy the chute," Luis explained as he pointed to the ripcord. "Be sure to deploy the chute A FEW SECONDS AFTER you jump off the plane. Otherwise, you'll probably get sucked into the plane's engine."

Everyone listened attentively as Luis briefed them about the parachute use as he had plenty of experience in using one. Niko and Huang were alright with jumping out of a plane, but Johnny wasn't. He had never really been in the air before, let alone jump from an airplane. He also had mild acrophobia.

"Can't we just land the plane somewhere down there?" Johnny asked feeling a little concerned.

"We could if there was even any fucking room to land there," Luis replied as he presented Johnny with his parachute. "So quit whining and get ready."

Once everyone was ready, Yusuf made an announcement from the cockpit, saying, "Ladies and gentlemen, minus the ladies. I am about to open the doors shortly. So get ready you bitches!"

As soon as he finished, he suddenly increased the altitude of the plane with a steep ascent. This caused everyone who was standing to fall towards the back of the plane.

"How did this Arab fucker get a flying license?" Huang asked as he picked himself from the floor.

"He probably bribed the instructor," Luis answered as he helped Johnny up.

After a short while, Yusuf opened the rear left door of the jet from the cockpit. There was a sudden rush of cold air entering the jet and a very loud blast of wind came from the door. The rush of the wind was so loud that to communicate with one another, they would either have to use sign language or speak at the top of their voices. Luis approached the door first followed by Huang, Niko and finally Johnny, who was still a little anxious at the prospect of jumping out of a plane at a very, very high altitude.
