"Hey, buddy, two guys entering." Luis spoke through his phone.
Elias had wanted Luis to be at the ceremony, but Turner wouldn't allow it, so he asked Alejandros to keep watch from a nearby rooftop for anyone suspicious. He'd heard of shoot-outs during ceremonies like these before.
"Anything suspicious about them?"
"Not really."
"Alright... just keep an eye out for any gun wielding assho-"
"Wait, they're cops! One of 'em just flashed a badge to the receptionist! Be ready!"
Luis
a) Go down to the room. Elias could be in danger!
b) Stay where you are, keep a lookout in case more police arrive.
Elias finished the call with Luis, and received another round of congratulations from around the large table. The room was bright and comfortable. Behind him, a large window that took up the entire back of the room, looking out onto the city of Pandora. In front of him, was the main door into the room, with a maintenance door to his right.
He took a sip of his drink, and smiled. "Mr Turner, I believe we have some company on the way?"
"Hmm?"
"Cops are in the building. Could be on their way up here. Two of 'em."
"I see... Well, we'll be ready."
"C'mon, let's go," Bormillio said, putting his badge away. He made his way to the elevator, Galitsky behind him. They pushed floor 25, flashed their badge to a waiter, and made their way to 'John Smith's' Room.
Bormillio knocked on the door with his left hand, his pistol raised in his right. He looked to Galitsky, gave him a nod, and called into the room.
"Is there a Joe Barmaine in this room?"
A muffled response came from behind the door. "Who's askin'?"
"There's a phone call for Mr Barmaine down at reception."
"Oh really?"
Then, another voice. Barmaine. "FUCK OF COP!"
Galitsky kicked the door open, Bormillio close behind. They were met by a hail of gunfire. The two quickly retreated back outside.
They gave each other a signal, and leaped in, ready to shoot.
Galitsky and Bormillio

Eric stepped out of the vehicle. Lombardi was gonna kill him... He needed to get that note back before it was leaked to the police.
As he looked around with his partner James, Eric noticed two men across the road. There was something familiar about one of them...
It was only five minutes later, when the windows shattered, that Eric remembered. That was their guy! The guy with the note!
If he could get into the building and get the note back, killing the guy who had it, he might be able to escape Lombardi's wrath... If not...
But there was gunfire sounding... It'd be dangerous...
Her scream was short. Alaitoc quickly leaped up and covered Jenny's mouth. He squeezed her nose, and waited while the girl suffocated.
As Alaitoc contemplated what to do with the bodies, the front door made a slight knocking sound.
"What's going on?" It was an elderly lady. "Is everyone alright?"
Alaitoc swore silently.
"Hello? I'm coming in..."
Not wanting to kill anyone else today, Alaitoc quickly climbed through a window by the dining room. As he left, he heard the scream of the elderly lady, and swore again.
He grabbed his phone when he was far enough away and called the number he'd been told to call.
"Done."
"The money's on its way. Expect it at your house by the time you get home." (+700)
Now, what to do with the evidence?
Alaitoc
a) Dump the knife in a bin somewhere
b) Take it home with you
Lucia made her way to the area she'd left her shotgun the night she shot the cop. With police activity low... well, in comparison, she was able to quietly get it back home without being spotted. Afterwards, she made her way to Lombardi.
"Lucia, I need your help."
"Oh?"
"You're aware of my plan involving Mr Gaines, correct?"
"Yeah..."
"I'm afraid something has gone wrong. A note I'd sent to some men hired to do the job fell into the wrong hands. I've hired two men who work together and one other man to retrieve it for me, but they seem to be having some problems. You wanna help them out? I can't offer you much for this, but consider it a favour I'll need to later repay."
Lucia
a) Help find the note
b) Don't do it
Sergei Kozlov. Once a well known name, now, nothing. Like an old rockstar, the new kids no longer knew of him at all.
Luckily for Kozlov, some of the oldies did. After spending a year of his life in hiding, watching his great reputation fade, Kozlov was ready to begin again, and Lombardi had offered him the first step, a seemingly easy job.
Apparently, there was some sort of note, some letter, that had fallen into the wrong hands. Lombardi hadn't said why, but this note seemed pretty damn important to him. He checked his phone's GPS. The two dots had stopped.
Lombardi's first instructions were to meet up with a pair of men who had the same goal.
He pulled up as the two men were staring up at a tall building.
"Eric Dakota?" he asked.
"Yeah... Sergei?"
"Yup."
"I hear you're a tough guy..."
"Used to be. What's going on?"
"Well, we've tracked our guy down to this building... But as you can see, it looks like someone else wants him dead..."
Sergei followed Eric's gaze up to the skyscraper where the window had been completely shattered. As they watched, a man fell through the window, screaming and firing his gun madly as he dropped.
Eric and Sergei
a) Go up and find and kill the man with the note (Galitsky)
b) Ignore it. There's some sort of firefight, you don't wanna get invovled
c) CALL THE POLICE! THERE'S A FIREFIGHT!
"Robert Hacknhoff?" Luigi asked.
"Actually, it's Leaf."
After agreeing to pay Fred the $1000 he needed to pay back the guy that wanted him dead, Luigi Lamborghini had decided to take it upon himself to get Bormillio what he deserved, without resorting to criminal activity. Remembering 'Leaf' from the standoff, he thought he'd do some investigating, starting with stalking Leaf home.
"Remember me?"
Leaf turned slowly with a slightly horrified look on his face. "What do you want?"
"I want to make you an offer. Nicolani wants you dead... I'm not too fond of you either," Luigi said, partly lying. True, Nicolani DID want him dead, but he had no clue who Leaf was. "Look, I wanna make you an offer. I'll ask Nicolani to forget about you, and you help me out a bit..."
"How so?"
"First of all, do you know a Christian Bormillio?" Luigi asked, his mind racing. If Leaf knew who Bormillio was, he had a lead. "Remember, I can keep Nicolani off your back..."
Leaf
a) Say you don't know him, don't betray Christian!
b) You've got no choice! Tell the truth!
Random980, I'm trying to get Luigi a choice, but I can't fit it into the story just yet... Sorry. Next post should have a choice for you!
