Chapter 24: Contradictions
"...Right, Get the cop patched up immediately, We don't need the shitstorm a dead cop will bring. Someone go call for an ambulance while we're waiting as well.
Someone go get the others into the back while they recover from the taser shocks, and put the cadaver in the back as well. I want a few of you to go get the two runaways and bring them back here, unhurt. And I need someone to clean up this mess.
You know what you have to do, GET ONTO IT!"
Give the above orders.
Alex barks out the first commands. Some of the Syndicate carry the bodies into the basement. One picks up the bar's phone.
"Who's the ninja, I'm the ninja boo yah!"
To Base, ignore tragedy, nap.
Mason walks in cheering while being covered in bad bruises. He runs to the basement and jumps up upon a table to take a nap and recover.
"Let's make sure no cops get out."
Make sure no cops leave.
William makes sure none of the cops leave. The one's carrying the unconscious cops downstairs stop. "Wait, I thought we were sending them to the hospital?"
Standing up, Dave looked around, sighing. Why did people have to die so soon? Gritting his teeth, he started shouting orders to the footmen still standing. "Take the cops, kill them with Mal's gun if they aren't dead after getting info out of them, and carry them towards that gang's turf over that way! Take a car if you can, if you can't, then steal one and dump it there. Wear gloves." he shouted, pointing the way he knew the Hellriders had gone when he saw them. He then stalked out the door with the men he was working with, shouting "Two people, get the runaway!"
Send two foot soldiers to follow Sean, but I go along with the body crew, doing the car-stealing if necessary.
Two of the footsoldiers run out immediately to pursue Sean. Instead of executing the cops, the rest of the gang stands there even more confused. The on on the phone puts it down before he dials. "Wait...so we're calling them an ambulance, but they can't leave the area, and we're going to kill them?"
Do what the man says. And Quickly.
Aaron hastily salutes and does the crate-lifting. (Strength, Related Skill: Melee. Roll: 3) Aaron shifts crates onto the docks. Doing at a good rate, it looks like he could come out with a bonus. However, on the final crate, he gets overconfident and trips. The box falls into the waters below. The captain looks at the water. And back at Aaron. And back at the water. And back at Aaron. He shakes his head, shoves a bill into Aaron's hand, and walks back onto the ship.
(+20$)It's night now, so the rest of the job's are out for today.
"Well... I'm not a man of many words, but we will all miss Lucas, wherever he has gone, whatever version of heaven or hell you believe in, he will always live on, as the memory to the first man lost fighting with us. May his spirit continue to assist us in battle, and may he never be forgotten."
Giverousing speech and then move over and comfort Fyfe
Jackson gives his short speech, to which there is a light applause afterwards. Then he gives Fyfe a shoulder, which she cries into. After a couple minutes, she stops. "T-thanks." She wipes the tears from her eyes.
"oh sweet jesus, is he dead? What the hell happened? I though this was supposed to be knocking the sense into some corrupt cops. Anyways, the shits hit the fan. Could be a good time to find more information on the police to try to keep them from sending more men to force us out. I should hack onto the police database like I did before, and look at everyone and their mothers profile. There has to be some way how we can stop the police from coming after us.
Jason puts his Laptop on the bar counter and tries to access the police database. (5+1) He hacks in using a police officer's account. The screen shows the text:
'GOOD MORNING OFFICER ROCK. WHAT CAN WE DO FOR YOU TODAY?'
The bartender looks around and makes sounds of frustration. "What the hell are we gonna' do? Look at this!" He motions across the entire room. "That's a few hundred pounds of damage in here!"
