Stories of a American Criminal
There was once a group of criminals who had planned to rob a small bank, an easy job. These men were very experienced, their names were Tony, Ron, Brian, and Treyvon. Tony was the brains, Ron the braun. These two worked very well together, and it showed. Tony and Ron always seemed closer to each other than the others, like brothers. So they chose the obvious route and just walked in through the front door and break into the vault. All things seemed to be going well until the men went to leave. They realize someone had told the FBI and they were lead right into a trap. Brian and Treyvon both had died trying to escape the agents. Although two of their men had been shot, Ron and Tony pushed on. They had a helicopter waiting in the field that was pure white, for now. They pushed until they reached a wall of police and government agents. Ron and Tony fought against them for as long as they could, but soon tragedy struck. Tony went down, Ron kept calling to him, “T!? T!? Come on man get up!!” but no response.Ron had no choice but to run, he succeeded in getting away.
Ten years later Tony is living in Liberty City, a very urbanized area in the hills. He is living a very peaceful life, he moved here and changed his name from Tony Townley to Tony DeSanta. Tony is under government protection, through a buddy of his in the FBI named Wade. He has been married to his wife Amanda for over twenty years, and they have two kids. His wife has stayed with him through thick and thin but lately has started to drift away. His son Jonah is always indulged in his video games and television. Tony has been trying to raise his son they way he was raise, with very much father son bonding. Jonah on the other hand wants to take no part in this. Tony also has a daughter, Tami, she has not turned out the way Tony intended. Tami is always leaving the house at night and hanging out with the wrong kind of people.
There is another man in Liberty City, his name is Tyrone. Tyrone has always been one of those guys who has struggled just to get by. Tyrone has just done little petty crimes at best, but he shows potential. Tyrone values the important things in life; loyalty, working hard and friendship. He and his friend Lamar work for a man named Eddie, a master car salesmen who sends them out on repossession jobs. Tyrone eventually gets promoted to employee of the month, Lamar is jealous. Eddie sends Tyrone out on a job to repo a guys SUV he had just purchased from Eddie. There was one problem with this job, the garage was going to be locked so Tyrone had to sneak around through the house and into the garage. He makes his way to the garage and into the SUV and makes off with the car without anyone realizing he is gone. Tyrone calls Eddie to tell him the job is done and is headed back to the dealership, but before Eddie answers something cold and metallic nudges Tyrone in the back of the head. Tony was hiding in the back seat the whole time with a gun. Tony tells Tyrone to keep driving and to take them to the dealership upon threat of death, Tyrone complies. They pull up across the street from the dealership and Tony says,
“Drive through the front window”
Tyrone questions him but eventually complies. They drive through very violently, Tyrone and Tony get out of the car and Tony toss $2000 cash to Tyrone and says,
“You are loyal, I like that. If you ever need more work come by my house sometime and we will work something out, the right way.”
Tyrone takes the money and runs as fast as he could. Tony stays to question Eddie, it turned out that every single repossession he had sent Tyrone and Lamar on were frauds and they were just stealing cars.
Tyrone later goes to Tony’s house to get some tips on how to live. He says it is obvious that Tony knows how to live considering his worldly possessions. While they are talking Tony gets a call from Jonah, apparently his yacht is being stolen and Jonah is aboard it. Tony decides that this could be a good teaching point on how he got all of his money, so he brings him along. They go and chase down the boat, and in the process of getting the boat back and Jonah off of the boat Tony had to kill five men. This makes national news, and is very widespread.
Ron is at home watching television when while flipping through the channels he hears the name Tony DeSanta. Ron knows that that is the alias that Tony uses, he is shocked. Ron thought that Tony had died, he decides he is going to find Tony. Ron lives in a place just outside of Liberty City named San Andreas. San Andreas is in the middle of the desert, and is full of trailer parks. He leaves immediately and eventually gets to Liberty City. It takes him several days, but he sniffs out Tony like a savage dog and a piece of meat. He decides to just walk into the front door of Tony’s house. Ron is angry at Tony because he didn’t come and find him to tell him that he survived the robbery but at the same time very happy to see his old criminal friend. Tony’s family is very well acquainted with Ron, so they greet him warmly.
Just before Ron had walked into the house Tony received a call from a man named Martin Iglesias. Martin Iglesias was very well known billionaire who gained his money through criminal acts and had the government on his side. Apparently his men were the ones trying to steal the yacht. Martin said that he put a price tag of $1,000,000 on each one of his men’s lives and charged Tony $5,000,000 to be paid in cash. He had an idea as to how to pay off his debt.
Ron and Tony talked about Tony’s current situation and the decided to call an old friend, Liam. Liam was always the guy they went to when they needed a job. Liam suggested going for “the big one” a plan Ron and Tony had always talked about but couldn’t pull themselves to do it. Although they had not been able to do it in the past, it was desperation time. Tony needed $5,000,000 and fast or it was his life and the lives of his family. So they decided they had no choice but to go for it, rob the federal reserve. Ron and Tony called Tyrone because he was an extremely good driver and they need a getaway driver. They would also need two more gunman, they hired some local criminals who had quite the rap-sheet. The crew decided there was no other way to go about this job other than to walk in through the front door guns blazing. This plan took about a week of extensive planning but finally the day came.
Everyone was in position the time came, none of the four men going into the building hesitated. They went in and shot anything that moved and made their way to the vault. Nothing was going to stand in Tony’s way, his mindset was if he failed to get the money he would die anyway so he might as well keep going. They pressed on until they made it into the vault, and took every ounce of gold they saw. They made their way up the stairs which confused the cops and agents, so they let them go up. Not realizing that their was an abnormal blimp flying through the air at the time. Tyrone acquired a blimp through Lamar owing him a favor. they jumped on a ladder that flew by without skipping a beat. They flew out to San Andreas where they had several getaway cars waiting for them. They land and drove in all different directions. The two gunman were caught but the rest escaped.
Two months pass, and Tony decides to tell Ron that he was the one who led them into a trap at that old bank robbery and that is how he survived. Ron was angry but understood that he had to do it. Liam then called them and told them he sold the gold and that after the $5,000,000 cut was removed each of them made it out with $50,000,000 each. All three Ron, Tony, and Tyrone decided to move out to the Hamptons before the FBI ever found out who robbed them or where they were.
