Welcome to Gaia! ::

'Ring Ring' Robert's phone says. It is on the table only a few feet from Robert's bed, where Robert was sleeping. 'Ring Ring' it says again. Robert's eye open and thoughts start going through his head. The ringing from his phone is a ring tone Robert never uses, to hear it means only one of two things, a blocked number which was calling the wrong number or a blocked number which was a very important business call. Robert only go the cell phone a few weeks ago, if that, and he was sure that none of his business partners had the number. Robert had left San Andreas without informing many people and the people he did inform didn't have a number to reach Robert because he left everything there. 'Ring Ring' the phone said again. Robert reached over and grabbed the phone. Robert didn't bother looking at the caller I.D already knowing it was a blocked number. He flipped it open and the call was answered. Robert put the phone to his ear and spoke.
"Hello?" Robert said.
"Mr.Thibodeau." The man on the other end said.
Hearing his name instantly woke Robert up. New thoughts rushed into his head. How did they get this number? Who are they? Who gave them this number? Robert wanted to know all of that but most of all Robert wanted to know one thing. "What do you want?"
"My Boss told me you would jump right to the point." The man cleared his throat. "My Boss, you worked for him a few times. He told me that he only really trusted a few people in this world, you are one of them. This is why I am calling you. He has been killed, it was a hit, I am not sure who ordered it nor who did it but I am sure they are going to strike again. My boss has... had... only a few things that were important to him. His wife, his sons, and his business. They killed his wife right in front of him. His oldest son charged in and was killed. My Boss was killed helping me and his two sons escape. His second son is dead. Most of his business partners have been killed. I have to live and so does his son. If we live we win. I am not asking you to guard us. I am asking you to kill them before they kill us. I can pay. Hell I can pay you a lot, I am the business Mr. Thibodeau, I can make money. His son is my new Boss. He has hired his own hit men to get revenge from his father, he has hired his brothers hit men and his father's hit men. All have failed. All have been killed, I was the only one given your number. Please do this."
Robert waited until the man had finished. Robert didn't care much about this mans pain but the story did bring light problems that would make this job harder.
"I don't hunt ghosts" Robert informed the man. "I'm a killer. I'll chase a man, but not a ghost."
The other end was silent for a moment and then the man answered. "I am working on getting the information as we speak. By the time you get here I'll have everything you'll need, information, weapons, cars. Even drugs and women, whatever you'll need to get this job done. I have been told your the best of the best."
"I'm not." Robert said cutting the man off a bit. "I'm just the luckiest and craziest. What kind of money are we talking on this?"
"Half a million per main target, and another million for the hit man himself."
Robert's thoughts went right to two words that he kept locked within his head. "Where am I going?"
"Vice City. I'll have a plane ticket waiting for you. I'll also have a man, with a gun and body armor, waiting for you when you get there. Be careful, if I know them, even a little by now, they'll have the airport checked out to kill anyone I import, but sadly I have little choice."
"Who is the man I am going to meet?" Robert asked.
"You should know him. His name is Tony Georgia."
"Rat..." Robert said almost without thinking. He knew now who he was working for. "I'll be leaving now, be ready for me." Robert hanged up the phone and was out the door in no time.

Robert got to the airport without problem and parked his truck. He paid for it to stay there until he got back, but seeing how he wasn't sure how long that was going to be Robert was forced to pay for it for a whole month. It was Two thousand dollars to store the Truck. Robert would normally be pissed but half a million per target was a lot of cash. When Robert first heard the amount he almost thought that he was being set up and there was still a chance but if he saw Rats face on the other side he would know it was the truth.
Robert walked into the airport and walked up to a counter. "Hey, my boss has a ticket for me."
"Okay," the girl said. "What is your name sir."
"Robert Thibodeau, T.H.I.B.O.D.E.A.U"
"Okay, do you have I.D sir?"
Robert pulled out his I.D and handed it to the girl.
She tapped the keys on the key board and then waited for things to load.
"Yes, there is a ticket here sir." She typed a bit more and then a ticket started to print out and she handed it and Robert's I.D back to him. "Here you go sir, you need to go to Gate Nine, enjoy your flight sir and have a good day."
Robert nodded and headed for the Ninth gate. Robert looked at his ticket and almost stopped right there. If this was a set up they were really spending a lot on Robert, with a first class ticket.
Robert went through everything and got on the plane. Maybe they wanted Robert to drop his guard with the first class ticket or maybe they really needed him that badly, like they said. Either way Robert, even if he did see Rat, wasn't going to take this at face value until he knew more. Until then Robert just relaxed. This was a straight flight to Vice City so Robert didn't have to worry about a hit man getting on the plane to kill Robert when they landed somewhere. Robert still watched everyone just to make sure. When the plane landed Robert got out like everyone else and put his hoodie on. He made sure the hood was up and walked out. If people maybe looking for him then this was one way of making them get closer to make sure he was really their target. The down side would be that if he wasn't careful he would blind himself from somethings. Robert would wander until he spotted Rat.

Robert couldn't pull any information from what he could see, but if he moved from where he was he would have to make sure no one spotted him. Robert didn't want to move until he knew what was out there. Robert looked around again, hopping he would finally spot them.

By this time Robert had a feeling Rat wasn't in the building anymore. This would make things harder when trying to meet up with Rat. The question was would Rat be safe if he left and Robert wasn't with him. Would they men going after Robert think that the man The Boss hired was a coward and would just kill Rat or would they think he missed his flight and let Rat live until the next plane landed. Did they know Robert was here, did they know Rat was here to get Robert.Robert had to get outside to see if Rat was out there. Robert went and bought two extra large coffees and, with his hood still up, tried to blend in and head outside.

Robert got outside and had seen nothing up to this point. Robert now looked for Rat outside. These whole thing had started to piss Robert off. Robert knew that even if he found Rat he would still have the problem that he would have to get to Rat without being spotted by the men spent to end Robert.

Finally Robert saw Rat. He also saw the five guys fallowing Rat. He wasn't sure if Rat had noticed them too or not. Robert pretended to drink from a coffee and he spoke.
"You know you have five of them on you right." Robert said.
Rat sighed "Yes Mom." Rat said trying to make it look like something it wasn't.
Both of them knew that it wouldn't fool the five men but at least this way they could maybe get some information to one another without them fully knowing.
"You drive here Rat?" Robert asked.
"Yes Mom." Rat sighed and lend on his elbow like if he was being torn a new one from his mom.
"Same shitty car you had back in the day." Robert asked.
"Yes Mom."
"Do they know you are picking me up at this time?"
"No Mom."
"So then they are just following you." Robert said coming up with the details on his own.
"Yes Mom." Rat said making sure he answered everything.
"You have a gun and body armor for me."
"Yes Mom."
"Is it in the car?"
"Yes Mom."
"Is your car in the front parking lot?"
"No Mom."
"The back?"
"Yes Mom."
Robert knew the back parking was paid parking. Robert figured Rat made them pay to fallow him. It was probably the only thing he could do.
Robert started to head that way.
"So if you head to your car they'll just fallow you?"
"Yes Mom."
"Do you know what they are driving?"
"Yes Mom."
"Bullet Proof?"
"I don't think so Mom."
Robert got to the parking lot in the back and looked for Rats car.

"Okay Rat I am in. I am going to get the armor on and get the gun ready keep talking until then."
Rat didn't answer him. He just kept going on another his job and other things. Once Robert had the armor on Robert grabbed the phone and made sure the gun was loaded and ready.
"Do you have armor on Rat?"
"Yes Mom."
"Good. I am going to hang up. I want you to tell mom how your going to pick dad up later and hopefully he isn't late this time."
"Okay Mom I'll pick up dad later and hopefully he isn't late this time."
Robert then hanged up and Rat kept talking a bit. "Yes Mom... I love you too... bye." Rat slammed the phone down and headed angry and fast to the car. He was talking to himself. Ranting mostly for show. He got into his car and was still ranting.
"God damn it. Why does she always have to be a b***h. Can't she just leave me alone." He said has he closed his door. He started up his car still ranting. "Like really, complaining about my car just because she just bought two black Cavalcade. It's bullshit."
Robert smiled as Rat pulled his car out and Robert saw the two Cavalcades fallowing them.
"Unless you want your car filled with wholes Rat, come up with a plan that doesn't mean I just unlocked on them." Robert informed Rat.
"I was never too happy with this car." Rat said still facing forward. "But unlike you I am not that great of a driver."
"Go somewhere with less eyes and get out and go away. Give me ten minutes or so. I'll make their day hell. Get food or something. Then come back. Get into your car and drive around the block."
Rat said nothing. He did what he was told. He went into a parking lot and got out and then went down the block and got food. Robert smiled when he noticed the price to part here was almost fifty dollars an hour. When everything was clear Robert checked Rats car for a knife or pen and found a knife that Robert remembered taking off a dead body and giving to Rat. It was damaged do to time but was still good. Robert went to the the two Cavalcades and cut both back tires on both of them and then tried to unlock one of them trucks to see what he could find inside. Robert would take his time with this, making it easier.

Once inside Robert sees another AK-47 and a Winchester 1300. He took them both and went back to Rats car. He put the Winchester 1300 and one AK-47 inside the car, in the back sit. He took the clip from the AK-47 and then went and hide. He made sure the AK-47 was ready and waited near the second Truck. Soon he saw Rat and then the others. Rat got into his Car and started to leave. The others started to get into the Truck. The Truck near Robert had three of the five in it. Robert aimed at the Truck and started to unlock.
