Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories (Rewrite)

Chapter 40: Accidents Will Happen

Vic was so upset with what had happened last night he slept late for the first time. As he woke up, he saw that the time was now 9:01 AM. He groaned as he got out of bed, washed up in the bathroom, got dressed, and ate his breakfast

As he pondered what he could do to reason with the Mendez brothers, he heard his pager beeping and took it off his belt to read its message. It was from Spitz.

"If you wanna film "snow-white", see Reni up at the film studios over at Prawn Island... " the message read.

Vic had nothing else to lose. So he headed out of the front door and hopped into his Infernus. Vic drove down the road through the sunny morning. There were several cars driving through as well. It was a beautiful morning outside. Vic didn't get too comfortable though. He was still in deep with the Mendez brothers and he had to fix the mess right after he would see what the filming studio would have in stores with him. Vic finally made it to InterGlobal Films Studios on Prawn Island, which appeared to be a brown entrance way leading to the inside studio. Vic put his vehicle on park and hopped out as he headed for the entrance.

Inside the studios was Reni, who turned out to be a tall, effeminate German redheaded man wearing a red suit and red-and-white makeup on his face, as well as lipstick. He was posing as his manager, a chubby man with large orange hair wearing a yellow-and-white striped opened up shirt, a blue T-shirt underneath, and yellow pants watched as he held on to a clipboard and pen and walked around Reni.

"What do you think, eh?" Reni asked the chubby man. "It is genius, no? Genius! Frankie!"

"Genius, Reni," Frankie answered.

"Genius, darling," Reni replied. "It is the story of the age. Success and failure. Man, woman. And me, I smash them together. Art and advertising. Future and past. Man and woman."

Vic then walked in the studio as Reni and Frankie spotted him. "Umm... " Vic uttered in confusion.

"Frankie, who is this gorgeous man?" Reni asked his assistant, staring at Vic.

"I don't know," Frankie replied. "Who are you?"

"I'm looking for someone called Reni," Vic answered awkwardly.

"Ta-daa!" Frankie said, gesturing to Reni.

"Uh, yeah... " Vic answered, still feeling awkward. "Spitz said you might want something?"

"Something?" Reni asked. "Ah! Cocaine! Darling, I want cocaine! Mummy wants some snort and she wants it now! You must be the cocaine man! Frankie, the cocaine man is here!"

Reni and Frankie both jumped excitedly as Vic just stared at them both, still confused as to what he was seeing. "Hey!" Vic told them. "You think you can say it any louder? I don't think they heard you in Cuba."

"Oh, you fucking square," Reni replied as Frankie began to leave the room. "It's only a bit of snow. It's nineteen eighty fucking four, darling. Everyone is on
cocaine!"

"Whatever you say, mister... uh... lady... err... " Vic uttered, confused of Reni's gender due to his effeminate appearance.

"Oh, darling, I'm a little bit of everything," Reni told him. "I'm universal. But you, angel, you're unique. Can I film you undressing?"

Reni started coming up closer to Vic, who quickly backed away. He wasn't exactly homophobic, but he wasn't used to an effeminate man hitting on him.

Frankie then returned to the room panicking. "Oh, Reni, we've got a problem!" he warned Reni.

"Not now, darling," Reni told Frankie as he paced the room dramatically. "I'm flirting. I'm dreaming."

"Um, Reni... " Frankie started to say.

"A chateau on the Loire... " Reni continued in a sensual tone.

"But Reni... " Frankie started to say.

"Two lovers entwined... " Reni continued.

"Reni, the stunt guy just quit," Frankie finally answered. "He said he didn't like you touching his ass."

"He what?" Reni asked, suddenly dropping his dramatic, sensual act. "Oh, that was just fun! This is real passion."

He then turned to Vic. "Darling, please, save me," Reni pleaded as he crouched down and clutched Vic's legs tightly. Frankie laughed hysterically at this.

"Hey, get off!" Vic yelled annoyed.

"Then save me!" Reni begged, still holding his grip on Vic's legs.

"Wait, wait, what do you need?" Vic asked.

"Just a driver," Reni replied.

"OK, fine," Vic grumbled. "Just get off- Hey! Get off."

Reni then guided Vic to the helicopter outside. "So you don't need any product?" Vic asked Reni.

"I need metaphor for the calamities of life, darling," Reni answered. "Drive well and I'll find you more buyers than you can use with more users than you could buy. Remember, angel, this commercial needs action, action, action."

So Reni hopped inside the helicopter and started the engine, gradually taking off in the air.

"Ok, action!" Reni bellowed through a megaphone from up above.

So Vic hopped inside the red Infernus and drove out through the entrance. His job was to head over to Vice Point and slam into multiple stunt cars as he would drive through Vice Point and Ocean Beach.

As Vic started in Vice Point, he drove through the city for some action boost. Multiple stunt cars drove through his way, and Vic slammed into each of them, causing them to explode. At one point, Vic hopped the ramp of a bridge and landed on the road to the next street, as he continued ramming cars, in which the impact caused them to explode. Vic hopped more ramps as he continued through Washington Beach and kept speeding.

The final task Vic had to do was jump the ramp leading to the hotel from across the alleyway. So as Vic made it to the destination, he sped forward and hopped the ram, leading the vehicle to the inside of the office and put the vehicle on park.

"That's a wrap!" Reni called from the helicopter through a megaphone. "Beautiful!"

Vic sighed in relief as he later walked to his brother's apartment. This was perhaps pretty vigorous for what was apparently an acting scene. But Vic wasn't worried. It just mean more money to pay for Pete's medication. He still had to settle things with the Mendez brothers, and he was going to get Lance to help him fix the mess they were in.
