Cliché [LT Fanfiction]

Chapter Twelve

"I heard about the kidnapping of your lieutenant," Madison of the Lunar Wolf Clan said upon the big TV in the mission room, "I'm very sorry."

"It's okay," Larry said back to them.
"Is there any way we can help?" Her husband, Torn, said. The Lunar Wolf Clan has been the Mafia's closet and most trusted ally for years; they help each other any way they can, but the Mafia suggested they stay away from their drug farm problem to keep it from happening to them. "Mmmm," Larry rubbed his chin, "Do you know anything about the AAGO?"

"AAGO?" Torn asked in complete confusion.
"Arizona Anti-Gang Organization," Mari said.
"¿Them?" He said completely shocked. "¿They kidnapped her?"
"You know them?" Mari raised an eyebrow.
"Yes! They kidnapped my wife," he pointed a thumb to Madison. "They wanted leverage over us." Mari and Larry exchanged glances. "What?" He asked, seeing their faces.

"That's what they said!" Larry said. "That's why I don't think they're gonna kill her!"
"They won't," Madison rolled her eyes. "We're so powerful, so they got scared and gave her back."

"We're powerful too," Mari scoffed, "so why ain't they gettin' scared?"
"They've most likely never heard of you." She tapped her head.
"I guess," she sighed.

"I'll see if we can scare them into giving them back to you," Torn said crossing his arms. "Until then, figure out a plan."

"We will," Larry sighed.
"Alright. Goodbye, Larry and Cormari."
"Bye," they both said, and the TV went blank.

"I wanna come up with the plan!" Mari first said before Larry could even think about it. Larry chuckled at her. "I think we're just gonna let the LWC do their thing," he tells her knowing how his cousin is. She's so predictable.

"And why can't I do it?" She whined.
"Mari, your idea of a plan is barging in there and destroying whatever or whoever gets in your way." He rolled his eyes.
"Sounds like a plan to me," she shrugged her shoulders.
"Yeah, a terrible one! They're kill her or take her somewhere else before we even get close!"
"I guess you're ri—"

"Boss!" A Mafia member popped on their TV.
"Yes?" Larry faced him.
"We have a plan to extract Alexis, the LWC just contacted us."

"Well that... was fast.." Mari said in total confusion.

"What is it?" He asked, eager.
"The LWC said their surveillance is easy to hack, so we can disable it." The excitement and confidence in his tone caused Larry to rub his chin.. Wow, he thought to himself scratching his head, that was fast. "And where does this get us?" Mari crossed her arms looking at the person on the TV.

"It'll make it easier to sneak in," he said He loaded a sniper and waited for Mari and Alexis to finishing exchanging looks. "I'm not trying to go through the same shit was we went through in the police station," Larry groaned.

"I'm sorry, Boss, but you're gonna have to do more." The excitement and confidence faded due to Larry's want of a simple plan. "Sneaking into a police station is much simpler than sneaking into a military base." Mari nodded and put her hand on Larry's shoulder and sighed along with him. "He's right," she tells him. Even though she doesn't feel like going through a whole bunch, they have to get Alexis back—either put up or shut up.

"And how is this going to work?" Larry asked.
"You guys won't need IDs luckily; all you'll need is a uniform, good weapons, an extraction plan, and..." He stopped and scratched his head. He toyed with his nails, unsure whether or not to keep listing the requirements. "And what?" Larry raised an eyebrow

"Prisoners..."

"Woah!" Mari's eyes bulged. "You mean actual prisoners?"
"No, I mean someone pretending to a prisoner.."
