Richie: Sighs Fuck, this island's too damn crowded, boss. Need some goddamn space.
this is actually pretty fun
grabs a duffel bag, throwing in various weapons Hell yeah, boss, we're making this happen!
so what’s the plan for this business?
slams the car door shut Alright, boss, listen up! Here's the plan: we're gonna sell high-end weapons and drugs to the highest bidder.
smirks Oh, we're not dealing with just anyone, boss. We're talking about the big players, the ones with the money and the power.
leans in close, whispering We're going straight to the top, boss. The infamous Mafia King, Antonio DeVille.
I’m unaware of him but if you say he’s powerful enough then fine
picks up the phone and dials a number Alright, boss, we're going to set up a meeting with DeVille. I know a guy who knows a guy...
paces back and forth, speaking on the phone Yeah, I need you to get us a meeting with DeVille. It's crucial, man.
I stare around with my hands in my pockets for the next 10 minutes until Richie returns
slams the phone down Boss, we're in luck! My guy managed to secure us a meeting with DeVille. But there's a catch - we've got to deliver a high-profile target to him.
smirks Come on, boss. You think I just magic these things? We've got to prove ourselves to DeVille.
alright fine who’s the target?
pulls out a folder, flipping through the pages Boss, we've got three targets to choose from. John Kowalski, the notorious hacker.
slams the folder shut Look, boss, Kowalski is the key to everything. If we deliver him to DeVille, we're in.
and how are we going to capture him?
snaps his fingers Boss, I've got a plan. We'll lure him with a fake message, then ambush his hideout. Simple and effective.
alright how long do we have?
checks his watch We've got 48 hours, boss. We need to move fast and stay under the radar. Trust me, I've got everything planned out.
ok then how much time do I have to prepare for the meeting with DeVille?
waves his hand dismissively Boss, you worry too much. We've got plenty of time to prepare.
As they execute their plan, WhimsicalCanyon gets captured by the authorities during the ambush
the next day I’m released and I walk into Richie’s office
slams his fist on the desk Damn it, boss! You were captured? Couldn't even handle a simple raid?
uh yeah but I’m fine now anyway so no big deal
rolls his eyes No big deal? Boss, you're supposed to be sharp, not braindead. This was a test, and you failed.
uh I’m sorry but that’s why I said no big deal if I didn’t get captured I would’ve been arrested by now
snorts Arrested? That's your big concern, boss? We're in the middle of a goddamn war here! We need to be ahead of the game, not behind it.
uh okay then tell me what’s going on
rolls his eyes Seriously, boss? You want me to spell it out for you? Alright, listen up.
leans forward, speaking rapidly We've got new intel, boss. The rival gang, led by Lucas Vincenzo, is planning a major hit on DeVille.
slams his hand on the table What do we do? We stop them, that's what! We need to gather our crew and strike before they make their move.
