Raining Bullets

[The GrandMage]

Jim Hoffa

He looked down at Forte, and sighed, putting his gun away. He knelt down, looking Forte over. "Forte, you need to apply pressure to that. C'mon. It won't do me any good to leave you here for dead. Think you can make it to the van? With help, of course."

"Besides what I just did, I want you to know that I'm not trying to kill you. But, Forte, can I ask you a question? Why would your father send you into the heaviest guarded areas of the very people that killed him, to collect random items, in order to get to a file he already had? The chances are high you're going to get killed. I only met your father once, but I don't think he's the kind of guy to get you killed needlessly. Can't you see, Forte? It's obviously a trap."

I winced at Jimmy for a minute. I then flipped toward the same page, for a long while. On the next page was a map, a map of the docks. My was neither right, or wrong. My dad had sent me here with a map prepared, and I was to blind to see it. I slapped my forehead, and held it in shame. However, we still needed to get that beretta. I looked at Jimmy, and said, "Vixen can take me there. You have to go, and get your special beretta. Just promise you'll make it back alive, and take this map too". I handed Jimmy the map, and then I got on my feet. I wobbled a bit, so poped in another painkiller.

Jim Hoffa

He took the map, folding it and putting it in his pocket. He looked over where the sniper had been, and made a quick motion. Mitch nodded, and started off.

Jimmy ran down the stairs, following the map, and his memory, silently through the ship towards the gun.

 

[Sweetp4u]

Vixen

She stood there in stunned silence, wondering what the fuck was going on? She looked over at Jimmy, "No, I don't hold it against you.. but he might." She listened to them exchange words, Jimmy did have a valid point. Why would his father send his son in for certain death? Unless the journal was a fake and the real one was hidden somewhere?

She had to file that away somewhere, get Tiny on it ASAP. Perhaps this was all a mission for the wrong side and they were being stupid and following along with the plans? She glanced around, the boat almost seemed too quiet now. This was raising the hair on the back of her neck.
"Let's get you to the van Forte." She helped him to rise, still glancing in all the dark places for more goons or hitmen to come running out of the wood work.
As she stumbled along under his weight she asked him, "Alright, why not skip to the end of this damned book and get the file Forte? Why are we playing along in this mad 'simon says' shit? We can get to the end simply by turning to that page, and yet you put yourself in danger in the middle? Are you on a death wish quest here? Tell me why Forte? You are reading page three, when you should be at the end to locate the file.."
She opened the back doors of the van and pushed Forte up into it.
"Dont light a smoke, and dont fire a shot.. Jimmy's toy wagon here is dangerous, remember that. I am going back for Jimmy." She gripped the edge of her under shirt, ripping off a thick piece around her middle, she quickly made a wrap for his arm. She moved with lightening speed, wrapping it and tying it in place.
"That should hold til we get back." She turned half way and slammed the doors shut. Running back to the plank, she ran down the stairs, and listened for Jimmy or someone below.

 

[The GrandMage]

Dr. Mitch

He turned around from the passenger's seat, looking forte over. He shook his head, kneeling down next to him. He looked at Forte, shrugging. "Hey, remember me? I'm a doctor, I'll make sure you don't bleed to death, okay. Just, don't blow the van up, okay?"

He nodded with a grin, and set about the grim task of trying to patch the Dodder kid up.

 

[The_high_king]

Forte Dodder

The journal wasn't a fake. It had too many truths to be fake. I found almost half of a missing life in this journal. I was sufficient evidence from this journal. I found my mom in this journal. This journal was too good to be a bunch of bullshit. The journal wasn't a trap, just because I was too blind to find the map with all the secret entrances, and all.
Suddenly the van doors swung open. The doctor was here again, and I didn't respond. He patched me up again. There was so much going on here that I didn't know about. I shut my eyes, and breathed deeply. I've been watching too much John Woo. That was the only answer I could come up with in the time being.

 

[The GrandMage]

Jim Hoffa

He sighed, tossing his old Colt over his shoulder. Sliding his new gun home behind him, he smiled. Finally, he was complete. He turned a corner, breaking into a grin as he noticed Vixen. Well, maybe not quite complete. Sneaking up behind her, he hugged her against him from behind.

"What's a girl like you doing in a place like this?"


Dr. Mitch

He reached over his shoulder as the two-way sprang to life. Pulling it out, he brought it to his ear as he finished Forte's stitches. "Burnside, here. What? Forte? He's fine. Not a scratch on him. Of course I'm telling you the truth! Yeah, yeah. Whatever. Talk to you later, this kid is crazy."

He looked down at Forte as he returned the communications device. "Listen, could you do me a favor and not let her know I lied? Thanks. Bye, kid."

He climbed out of the van, looking around before he hurried off.

 

[Sweetp4u]

Vixen

She heard him approach and felt his arms go around her from behind. Tensing just briefly before relaxing into his arms. Jimmy was behind her, her mouth near her ear.
""What's a girl like you doing in a place like this?"

She made a little thinking noise, and smiled. Quietly she whispered to him, "Looking for trouble.. and I think I found him."
She waited to see what he was wanting to do next. Did he get the weapon? She would ask in a moment, she fell silent as she heard feet running over head.

 

[The_high_king]

Forte Dodder

After awhile, I regained myself. I was patched up, but still hurting like hell. I thought maybe some painkillers would help, but I tossed away the thought. Now was not the time. I got, and exited the van. It was time to act stupid again, and head back to look for Jimmy. But this time, I took the route my dad gave me, and believe it, or not. I ended up gazing into the sea. The ship was right next to me. I was under a boardwalk, in a dirt tunnel that I found in some very thick bushes.
I climbed up onto the side of the boardwalk right next to some crates that hid me from enemy sight. Carved into one the crates was goodwork son . Like I said, my dad was quite a character.

 

[The GrandMage]

Jim Hoffa

OOC: But, didn't you give Jim the map just after you found it? And once again, why would his father make him go on a treasure hunt when he could have just gotten the stuff?

IC:

He smiled, and kissed Vixen's neck. Holding her against him, he grinned. "Trouble, eh? Well, I must admit, you'd know if I am or not. Well, I got the gun, how about we leave? Without Forte here, this will be much easier. Just, don't say anything."

Smiling, he took her hand, and started up the many hallways. After a few minutes, a group of well-armed men stood around a corner they turned. Jimmy motioned for Vixen not to move, and smiled.

One of them blinked, and lowered his weapon. "Oh, Mr' Hoffa. We didn't know you were here. You should leave, there are intruders in the area. You, Erics, show them ashore while we scout the deck."

He took Vixen's hand, and they followed the man off the boat. After they were down the ramp, he put an arm around her waist. "Vixen, do you see how smoothly this goes without Foprte shooting at things? Let's go get him to a Hospital."

 

[The_high_king]

Forte Dodder

ooc: I commited the map to memory before I gave it to you. As for my father, hes an old guy, give him a break. Sure he could find a secret entrance, but when it comes to the physical task, well thats a different story.

ic: After standing behind those crates for awhile, I realized that everything was peaceful again. It seemed like Jimmy had things under control. I went back under the boardwalk, and went back to the van, then opened up the journal, and realised that the other pages were erased. The only evidence of any writing were eraser marks, and an arrow at the bottom corner. It went towards the second last page, which explained everything


Your probably wondering where the other pages are. Well, you don't need them. I've gotten most of the evidence during my early days of investigation. Everything you need to bring the corporation down to its knees is right under you. However, there is one last task I ask of you. Even if you bring down the corporation, others will be after it. You have to eliminate the following:

Corporation? What corporation? and what does, "right under me" mean? Thats when I noticed that the van floor I was sitting on seemed... hollow. I got up, and opened the van door, and stepped outside. I pressed down on the floor, and it still seemed hollow. Why the hell didn't I notice this before. I lifted the rug, and found a wooden hatch. Opening it, I was shocked, and speechless. I had just hit the evidence jackpot. There was conterfeit money, weapon blueprints, drugs, illegal imports, and even illegal porn magazines. Everything to bring the corporation down to its knees, (whatever the corporation was). I refered back to the journal, and noticed a list.

1) The Shang Tseung warehouse, suspected of illegal imports.
2) The red, and blue candy shack, columbian hotspot.
3) The red violen, a mafia hangout, and headquarters.
4) The Vibe dragon. A gangsta nightclub filled with illegal activity
5) goatblood club. The mother of all cults. Not on Jimmy's goodside.
6) Grimslide lane police department. Corrupt to the core.
7) Redlight street. Everyones a hooker here. EVERYONE.
8) Crimzy's casino. The basement is a training ground for terrorists.
9) 164 Killmore ave. I hitman lives here. Be cautious Forte. Hes the best of the best.
10) the wooden shack on Granddioso park. Osama Bin Laden's friends come here every night.

The first thing that came to my mind was, "blow these places up". I checked the bottom of the page to make sure. I was right it was time to blow those places up. After that, the final page, and the corporation. If my dad hid these in Jimmy's van, then they must have known each other well. Probably even friends. After this, it was going to be all over. I could finally reast in peace, but not in a dead way.

 

[Sweetp4u]

Vixen

She smiled, and nodded, "Yeah this is much easier isnt it/ And quiet. Amazing." She followed him up the stairs and to the upper deck. Jimmy halted by a wall, and she waited.She didnt blink an eye when the addressed Jimmy as if he was kin. Apparently he knew everyone in the area.
She held his hand and walked down the gang plank with him, escorted by some guy she never seen before. Glancing towards the ground as they walked over the gang plank she seen Forte's ass down below.
"What the? Hey Jim.. Forte is down there.." She pointed. What was he doing out of the van? Was he on a death wish again?
She sighed, "Looks like we have to retreive him before we can get outta here.. Who's gonna do it?" She asked.

 

[The GrandMage]

Jim Hoffa

"No need. Look, he's getting his ass back to the van. C'mon. Let's go."

Taking Vixen's hand in his, he smiled at her, and walked toward the van with her. Opening the back doors, he noticed the hollow floor was open, and Forte was sitting there. Kicking the hatch closed, he glared at Forte a moment.

"Let's get the Hell out of here."

 

[The_high_king]

Forte Dodder

I smiled as I saw Jimmy, and Vixen come back. I leaned back, and said, "You know Jim, if explosives don't kill you one day, your connections will. Anyways, glad to see you back". As they both got on to the van, I showed Jimmy the list in the journal. "Do you think we can get these places blown sky-high Jimmy?", I asked. We were going to need a lot of explosives for a job like this.

 

[Sweetp4u]

Vixen

She followed behind Jimmy, not worried about surveying the docks any longer. Jimmy seemed welcome here, and no one would fire on him. She walked around and hopped into the passenger seat of the van. Sitting back she smiled at Jimmy.
"We all need some sleep, where we heading to now?"
She turned and smiled at Jimmy just as three shots came through the passenger window into her back. She fell forward, gasping for air. A total look of shock on her face. Who had shot her? And why? She felt everything spin and whirl out of control, her hand gripped the edge of the seat. Her eyes looking unseeing around her, where was she?
She cried out in pain once, falling forward.
Dead.

 

[The_high_king]

ooc: I hope your only kidding sweetp4u. I wonder where Mistress Jorja, and the rest went? I wonder why this thread isn't as erotic as it should be? I wonder if its dead. If it is, then I must say that this was my succesful thread that I have ever done, and thanks for playing while it lasted.

 

[Sweetp4u]

Vixen

(still dead)

ooc: Why can't I die? Come on now, it was interesting..

 

[The GrandMage]

OOC: No, it wasn't. And if you're going to die, I'll just kill Forte and let this thread rot. No point without Vixen.

 

[Sweetp4u]

Vixen

She gasped in a deep breath, She had a vest on and it had saved her life! Miricles do happen!
She groaned a little, sitting back.
"Fucking assholes shot me!"
She sat there stunned a moment. Only ones around to shoot her were the FBI agents.
Rotten bastards!
"Let's get outta here.. I need to get this vest off.."

 

[The_high_king]

Forte Dodder

I gasped. Vixen was shot. Thank god she had a bullet-proof vest on. I also wondered how the FBI appeared all of a sudden. I helped Vixen on to the van, and shut the doors. I checked for any sign of wound, but there was none. It was going to leave a mark though, "you okay?", I asked.

 

[Sweetp4u]

Vixen

She nodded her head, "yeah I think so.." She kept gasping for breaths, it was hard to breath with three bullets imbedded in the back. She gripped the arm rest to keep herself upright and watched as Jimmy drove through traffic.
"I just need to get this off as soon as possible.."

 

[The_high_king]

Forte Dodder

"Then let me help you with that". I turned her around, and removed her vest. I was right, she had three big bruises across her back. It looked very painful. I checked the medical kit, and found some bandages, thread, needle, painkillers, and other things. "Okay Vixen, your going have to tell me what to use. Bandages? ointment? painkillers? what?".

 

[Sweetp4u]

Vixen

She glanced over her shoulder at Forte. "Painkillers.. touching it will hurt, and the bruises will fade.." She gasped and wheezed for air in and out of her lungs.
"I'll wrap it when we get to a safe place for the night.." She groaned, grabbed the pills he offered her and picked up a ice water cup from earlier. Taking the pills, she leaned back closing her eyes.
Now, who was shooting at her? She had to find out..

 

[The_high_king]

Forte Dodder

As much as i wanted to blow-up the listed loacations, Vixen was right. It had been a long night, and we did need a place to rest. Not a hotel this time, since we were proabably on, 'America's most wanted', by now. We couldn't take another risk of stepping into another lobby. It was either Jimmy's warehouse, or some other place. I turned my head towards Jimmy, "sorry Jimmy, but we'll have to blow these palces up tommorow night", I shrugged, and sat back, staring out the window.

 

[The GrandMage]

Jim Hoffa

He grabbed a cigarette between his teeth, pulling it out of the pack. He discarded the half-full pack of cigs, and used the van lighter to start his cigarette. Taking a deep drag, he grabbed the list from Forte, glancing it over.

"Okay, but not the Goatblood Club, because I closed that place down the day before we met. There's nothing left but an empty lot and a really big blood stain. As for 164 Killmore Avenue, that won't be needed. Turns out he was involved in some shady business, and was holding back from our mob friends. He was discreetly 'taken care of' about a month ago. No one who's clean would know about it, even some of the mobsters don't know he's dead."

He drove them back to his warehouse, looking around before taking them in. "Vixen, you need anything?"
