James riko and the remaning members of the heatens gang were in a wharehouse.it was at lame light street.it was night time and the buildings around were filled with lights.
The street lights had come on too.
the building was huge.they were two tables inside. boxed cartons were arranged on it.two windows and two doors.One at the back and another at the front. they was no light in the building.
It was dark.
Both windows were opened.Barack was staring out through the window.he was staring at the street.
Kelly.
ramsey and olivia were at the other window
While rex and james were sitting down on one of the tables.the lights from outside was seen in the whare house which was located at the end of the street.
James had two of them and one was located at this street.He stored old files and records here.
The other one at blue lane was used for guns. The military had taken over the town and he'd moved just in time to save rex and his surviving gang members from harm. when would the next attack happen?
he didnt know.
They were hiding. the exits were blocked.
His car was parked at the backyard. Everywhere was silent.Everyone seemed to be in their homes.No vehicle could be seen moving on the road.
"How do we leave?asked rex.
"we cant leave without running into them."replied james.
"We have to risk it."
"I get a bad feeling about staying here any longer."
"Its gonna be dawn soon."
"we should move."
"I agree."Said barack.
"I dont like how quiet this town is anymore."
"we are being hunted and killed."
"Once we escape."
"they is no coming back here."
"Damn it."
"this place is hell."
"Its the government."
"i believe they want to take control of this town."
"After hunting us down."
"Sure."
"they have already started."
"What do you think happened to the others?
"i dont know."said rex
"they could be dead."
"We have to make a run for it?
"And go where?asked james.
"you do realize your names and faces are on a wanted list."
"dont you?
"I do."
"Its gonna be hard outside this town."
"I know."
"but its better than being trapped or killed."
"We cant exactly kill them all."
"can we?
"If they are taking control over the town."
"I suggest we leave."
James sighed.
"Well."
"as you wish."
"but ill be staying."
"Not because my name and face is not known."
"then what?
"this is my home."
"Good for you riko."said barack.
"you're gonna leave us for death."
"right?
"I saved your lives."
"is this the thanks i get?
"No."
"But we need your help and you know that."said rex.
"We need a plan."
James looked at his watch.The time was 11:30pm.
"What kind of plan?
"One where we successfully break through their defense."
"Since you are not gonna be coming with us."
"you can help us escape."
"Fine."
"Whats the plan?
"the entrance of the town and the subway station are the only way out."
"The torino police station is close by."
"We need to distract them."
"or cause a divertion."
"if we are to escape."
"the military would be on stand by."said barack.
"Its only a matter of creating a diversion and then we escape."
"Least i forget."
"we are gonna be using your car."
"Agreed."
"So what kind of diversion are we creating?
"We need to move before the sun comes out."
"I have an idea."said rex.
"But its not gonna be safe for you james."
"Of course."
"anything involving the police and military is not safe."
"Is it?
"We are doing it."
"so spill."
"You still gat more bullets in that machine gun of yours."
"dont you?
"because you're gonna be needing it while standing on the express."
"I understand."replied james.
It was 1:30am in the morning and the town was silent.no vehicle could be seen on the road.expect theirs.
they drove straight to the towns exit.
they was destruction of properties.vehicles.
The military didnt spare any method or means to hunt them.
The car light was off and they had already dropped james at the express.he was already in position.
they had not met anyone at the express. rex didnt know if they would pass by the police check point without being stoped.
The vehicle continued to move on the road. they were armed and alert.
They crossed the first boundary line where damaged police cars could be seen at the corner of the road.
At the center of all falls street and palm street
was another blockage. wooden planks were used to baricade the road.
Military vans could be seen.
They were 7 in number. Rex could see soilders walking around with flash lights in their hands.
He slowed down a bit and stared at the express which was up above.past the blockage.
"Where the hell are you james? Rex whispered.
"Probally waiting for us to give the signal."replied barack.
"The car light."
"Yeah."
"that would draw their attention and hopefully his."
"Yeah."
"thats the signal."
Rex drove Close to the blockage and then he put on the front light.
The soilders pointed their flash lights and weapons toward the vehicle.
"Get down now."One of them yelled.
Rex began to reverse the vehicle backward as they opened fire.The bullets began hit the vehicle.hitting the metal parts of the vechile and the windows.
"Damn it."
"james."
"Where the hell are you?
Rex yelled. he reversed backward with speed.
The soilders were still shooting at them when
James opened fire on them from the express where he stood at.
The soilders were taken unaware as the rounds from the machine gun smashed into their bodies. vans and wooden blockage.
Causing damage on them.
"yes."yelled barack.
"Thats him."
Rex watched as james cleared the path from the express. with his machine gun.
Bodies were on the ground and military vans were on fire.
"Go."
"go."Barack yelled and rex stepped on the accelerator.
The car began to move forward with full speed.Toward the blockage which had been destroyed in half.
The car drove past the wooden blockage and it gave way.
The car hit the military vans which were on fire and they continued to move forward.
From the right direction.police vehicles could be seen.
Rex continued to move with full speed.he drove past the express where james riko was standing.
They both shared a glance before the vehicle drove past the express.then toward the towns exit.
police cars were on their trail and rex wasnt planning on stopping if they got caught now.it would be the end of them all.
Josh santos pov.
16 years ago.
I had brought the provison and was having dinner at the dinning table.
It was dark now.The lights in the living room were off. Same with the outside lights.
Only the yellow light at the dinner table was on.
I was having lunch.I had made cornflakes. I wasnt really hungry or in the mood to eat.
they were marijuana on the table which i had already tied down to smoke after eating.
Blake had supplied me.i would be starting work tomorrow too.
I sighed after taking the last spoon.
I needed to bath.i looked around the living room.it was dark.
I felt hunted. It was beacuse of my grandpas death.
His precense made me feel safe.secure and not alone.
Now.i knew for sure how it was to be truly alone and confused.with no one to joke with.
No one to plan with.He was gone for good.
I stood up from the dinner table.leaving the bowl behind and then taking the three joints i had tied before going to my room.
I closed the door and then went to take my bath.soon afterward.I was done.
The time was 9:30 when i went up to the roof and then i began to smoke. Brevely hills was awefully quiet.
My grandpas rocking chair was now on the roof. I laid back on it.i was staring at the sky which was full of stars.
I woke up the next day. I was on my bed.The alarm was making its usual ringing sound.The time was 7:30am.
I had slept around 12.After i finished smoking the three joints.
I stood up from the bed and hurried to the bathroom.
I was bathing.i spent twenty minutes in the bathroom before coming out. I wore my clothes which i had put on the shelf.
I didnt want to be late. So i quickly went to the fridge.picked the bread and put it inside my bag.
I took two can drinks before hurrying toward the door. It was friday and my phone had been switched off for 2 weeks.
It was in my room.On the bed.
I opened the door and was suprised to see amanda standing on the porch with her bag on her back.
A smile formed in her lips as she saw me come out.
"Hey."
"Josh."
"Amanda!
"hey."
"What are you doing here?
I looked behind to see her car parked on the road side.
"You havent been answering my calls nor coming to school."
"so i decided to come check on you."
"Yah."i nodded.
"I decided that i wont be coming back to school."
"What."
"why?she asked.
"because i dont wanna continue any longer." I said and began to walk down from the porch.
"No."
"come on josh."
"What about collage?
"we discussed this."
"didnt we?
"You're not gonna finnish high school?
She held my shoulder and i stoped walking. I stared at her.
I sighed.
"Look."
"amanda."
"I get it."
"Okay."
"You're here to help but everything has changed."
"Have got to work."
"Get paid."
"Provide for myself."
"I cant depend on anyone for that now."
"can i?
She wasnt replying. she kept staring at me.
"you can rely on me josh."
"am here for you."
"Always."
"Well."
"am sorry."
"I wont be there for you."
Her countenence changed and she nodded.
"I shouldve known you would say that."
"Amanda."
"Its okay."She cut me short and began to walk toward her car.i watched her go.
without bothering to stop her.
It was a decision i had made.
Letting her and her assistance go.Going to collage was not in my mind. I didnt want to be of any trouble to amanda. A girl who was my age mate and i didnt even know her parents.they was her Her mother who i had never seen.
It was better this way.i assured myself once again while watching as she got into her car. she started the engine and drove away from my house.
I sighed. I was reliefed and also in pain.I knew it was over between us now.
I wouldnt have to worry about her.i walked toward the road and took the right direction toward the bus stop.
Luckily for me.the bus was already on the way.
I raised my hands up and beckoned on it. The driver stopped and the doors opened.I quickly went in and took a seat among the first row seat which was empty.the bus was empty.
The bus began to move forward and i relaxed on the chair.i was pondering over my next plans. Now that i was alone.it was best i planned my life well.
It would seem that i was right.I didnt think i would be leaving this town after all.
I got to mr browns garage at excatlly 8:30am.
It was open. I went in with my bag.i saw him on the ground.Underneath a vehicle which had dislocated parts.
He seemed to be fixing the vehicle. he was focused on his work.
"Hello sir."I said.
"Josh."
"is that you?He asked and suddenly slide out from underneath the vechile.
"Yes sir."
"I am here for work."
"Yes."
"its your first day."
He stood up with a towel in his left hand.
"You can keep your bag over there."
He pointed to the steel table at the left corner in the garage.
i walked toward the table and put my bag on it.
I watched as he walked backward.In between the damaged vehicles which were arranged at the right corner of the garage.
and then he came out with a purple uniform in his right hand.
"Here."
"put this on."He tossed it over to me and i caught it.
"Thats your uniform."
"Do well to take good care of it."
It was a jumpsuit.i pulled down the zip of my sweater and began to pull the clothes i had on.
I was left with my boxers.i wore the jumpsuit and zipped it up.
"Wellcome on board."
"Now come give me a hand with this tires."
"They need to be changed."
"Yes sir." I said and followed him.
they had escaped.rex and the remaining of his gang members were in river rail town.the police officers from Torino had lost their trail during the race out of the town.it was a good thing that James vehicle had a modified booster which enabled it to move with quite the speed.
river rail was 200miles away from Torino and it was under government authority.meaning it was dangerous for them to be in the town.the river rail police could be after them and getting caught in the town was out of the question.the time was 4:30am in the morning.
rex and the others were in a motel which was just at the entrance of the town.it was at Alexander street.
at the forth floor of a building.room 27.
rex had called the manager upon thier arrival at the building. their numbers were written on the sign board of the motel.it was named fellow inns.
a group of five story buildings which were built and arranged in order.among the other houses in the street.their car was packed outside.in front of the building were the parking spot was at.other cars were parked there too.inside the building.rex could be seen standing near the window.peeping at the front view which displayed the town from on high.
the town express was busy.cars could be seen turning around.to and fro toward their different destination in the road. It was connected.
"we need to move out soon."he said.
Barack was seated on a chair. near the table.at the left side of the room.the others were on the bed with thier bags on the ground.
"we can't afford to be caught here."
"can we? asked Barack.
"of course not."
"that's bad news." said Kelly.
"it's better we move out before the sun comes out."
"to where now?asked Olivia.
"are we gonna keep running?
rex stared at her and they both shared a knowing look.
"we are criminals Olivia."
"if we don't."
"its game over for us."
"I guess you are right."
"they is no place like home for people like us."
"even in the people's town."
"we don't have much time."said rex. he closed the window blinds and stared at the others.
"we either take a train or move by the sea." "with a boat."
"you gat to be kidding me."said Kelly.
"I can't believe it has gotten to this."
"most of the guys are back in Torino."
"stranded and without backup."
"how the hell do they survive?
"don't you get it?yelled Barack
"no where is safe anymore for gang members."
"especially since our faces are in the data base."
"ain't that a bitch."said Ramsey.
"I do know one thing tho."
"its not just about us and our gang."
"you can't tell me that they aren't bigger gangs in this town and other cities."
"it's a scheme to get the council members out of control."
"you don't think I know that."replied rex.
"kill all the villains and then blame the council members for not being able to protect the people."
"it's not our fault."
"nor theirs."
"you mean the council members?asked Ramsey.
"yes."
"so far."
"they have done their best for the town and the people."
"we all know that and we've had an understanding between them until lobos Odini came along."
"now the government has used this as an excuse to eradicate us all."
"I think we should just leave."said Olivia.
"there's no use going back there for anything."
"it's settled."
"we take the boat to Greece city."
"it's large enough."
"we'll fit right in even if we are wanted."
"I guess." said Ramsey.
"anything is better than being caught or killed."
rex looked at his watch.the time was 5:00am.
"come on guys."
"Let's get moving."
"shall we?
"we don't have much time to waste before sun rise."
the sun had yet to come out when rex and the rest of his gang drove out from the motel compound and out of the street.they continued toward the right
direction. to the road which led to the express.it was filled with cars and highway lights.
the ocean which led to Greece was just a few mile away.
at luka bay.
River rail was one of those towns which had an ocean in it's landscape.it was huge and connected to other towns too.
such as lupin.west ville and Greece city.
the water body formed a rectangle shaped size around these towns and cities.
rex planned on going to Greece city to start over while also hiding. It was best they moved quickly without getting caught in river rail.
the police station could be seen.a rectangle shape building with red flags.it was attached to the roof.it was tall.having lots of windows.
they was a check point just before the police station and police officers in black uniforms could be seen on the road. they were checking for anything suspicious in the vehicles that drove by this side of the road which led to Luka bay.
"it's the cops."said Ramsey.
"great."
"just what we don't want."
"it's the river rail police."said Olivia.
"yeah."
"It's them."responded rex.
they were dressed in black uniforms.four officers in total. with thier weapons and flash lights.they were busy checking the vehicles before allowing them to pass.
"so what's it gonna be?asked Barack. he quickly adjusted in the front passenger seat. rex looked at him and they both shared a knowing look.their countenance was filled with anxiety.rex stared at the others who were at the back.through the front mirror.
"act right."
"hide your guns."he whispered and they quickly put it under the vehicle's back seat.
rex and Barack had kept thier pistols under their seats. they drove forward to the check point.
two men stepped forward.
to both side of the car and they pointed their flash light at them.
rex pressed a switch on the door and both windows went down.
"how may I help you?
"officers."rex asked.
"your ID card."
"can I see them?
"sure."rex brought out his wallet from his pocket and opened it before bringing out a driver's license.
"here."
the man at his left side took it from him while observing the others who were at the back seat.
"from Torino huh?he asked.
"where you guys headed?
"to the sea."
"Luka bay to be precise."
the man nodded before walking toward the back door.
he knocked on the window and Ramsey pulled the the Window down.
the man pointed the flash light into the car.
"am assuming you guys are traveling through the sea?
"yes."Ramsey nodded.
he was still observing them.it would seem he was looking for any suspicious things in the car.he walked back toward rex and gave the card to him.
"you're free to go."
rex feigned a smile as he took it from him before restarting the engine and then he began to move forward.past the check point and then turning left.passing by the police station building.rex observed the building.it was filled with police cars. they were parked in the garage. the time was 5:30am.he had thought they would ask him to come down along with the others.things had gone differently and this had been of advantage to them.they needed to be on a speed boat before 6pm.
they drove past the police building and continued along the road.they were no more buildings around this street.just the ocean could be seen.rex continued to move forward. but then.he took the leftward direction.entering the sandy area.
he could see boats which were waiting at the starting point of the shore.he drove toward the end and parked the car.
"okay."
"get down."
"finally." said Ramsey.
they all came down with thier weapons in their hands.
"get the bags."
Ramsey went back to the booth and opened it before carrying out two black bags.
"come on boys."
"let's go."
"we're on it boss."said Barack.they followed from behind. they were three boats in total. rex walked toward the one in the middle and jumped into it.
the keys were still inside.the others had jumped into the boat too.he started the engine and it came on.
he pushed the gear lever and it started to move forward as the engine began to do it's work.Barack was watching the land from where he stood on the boat. But he suddenly fell down.
Olivia screamed and ducked down in panic.
the others did the same.expect rex.he was seated. he began to move leftward.
"it's a sniper."yelled Ramsey.
"shit."
"shit."
"shit."rex whispered. he moved to the rightward direction.
another shot was fired and it hit oliva in her left leg.
she shrieked in pain before falling to the ground.
"damn it."Ramsey yelled.he ran out from his hiding spot.to cover her before dragging her toward the next ground level on the boat.
they both fell down.
"we can't hide from them."
"can we?
"I'll have to move faster."
"where is it coming from?asked rex.
Ramsey was already ducking down at the lower floor level.he pointed at the police station.
rex countenance changed and turned into a grimace.
"it was a trap."he said.
"they set us up."
"this is not good."
Kelly was at the opposite chair.he was on the boat. he began to look around. he could hear a beeping sound.
another bullet found its way to the boat.it hit the steel parts of the boat.
"guys."he yelled.
"I think they is a bomb in the boat."
they all looked at him.including Olivia who was struggling with her pain.Barack was already dead.his blood was flowing and entering the lower part of the boat.
"he's dead."
"we all gonna die." Said Kelly.he had an anxious look on his face.the sound of the time bomb beeping could be heard.
"we have to get out from the boat."
before they could make any further move.the boat suddenly exploded.
blowing into pieces.along with the people inside.the remaining part of the boat sinked into the ocean and the fire went out without a trace.
