The Hunt for Ted Started by: Enaento on Sep 15, '14 18:42

The Ablizzi family was in need of cash. The family gathered for bounce some ideas around.

We need a large sum to extend our "Olive Oil" business to America, En told them. I am open to any ideas that will get this done

Ideas started flowing. Robbing the local post office? Robbing a bank? Hijacking a Wells Fargo Truck? All were good ideas but En thought it was time the Albizzi family took care of some old business without being directly involved.

There's this guy named Ted, En told them. He is well known for his kidnapping skills and extorting large sums from sophisticates. What if we hire him to kidnap Sammy's daughter? Sammy was a real estate tycoon who had refused to lease a warehouse to En for the import business. We could teach Sammy a lesson and make enough to buy the warehouse we need.

The plan was devised and set into motion. En contacted Ted and met him at a local speakeasy.

Ted, we've got a job for you. We want a certain businessman's daughter kidnapped. He's richer than god. Getting 200K out of him for the return of his beloved daughter is a no brainer. We'll arrange the when and where, you execute the kidnap, our guys will take care of the ransom demands. From there, you make the pickup and leave his daughter somewhere in the warehouse district unharmed. En said explaining the details to him. After some haggling they agreed on a 60/40 split in favor of the Albizzi family.

Three days later when Ted caught up with the woman as she was exiting the market he kidnapped her and took her to a safe house. Contact was made demanding a ransom. The tycoon was given 24 hours to comply. He put the money together and had it when the next phone call came in. 

Take the money to the train station. Put it in locker 215 and go home. Once we confirm you are home we will let your daughter go, were his instructions. He did as he was told.

En had eyes in the train station. Reports came back to him that the damn cops crawling all over the place! Damn Cops En exclaimed. @TonyMontana, Domino, go create a distraction up the street! Draw those damn cops away from the train station. Dubliner, Maggie_Mae go blend in at the train station and report back to me what the hell is going on! En slammed his fist down on his desk as his family scattered.

Dubliner busted out of the apartment building where the members of the family were staking out the train station. He put his hat on as he crossed the street and kept his head down. The police began restricting the station so that no one could go in or go out. Dubliner turned and looked up at the second story apartment and shook his head...

Dubliner began walking away from the station to inspect the surround area for a way around these pigs. Finally, after a couple minutes of thinking, he asked Maggie_Mae to create a distraction directed at the cops blocking the doorway next to a nearby alley. Dubliner explained that, if she were to scream and yell about her child being trapped in the train station terminal, the cops would have no choice but to let her in to find her missing child. Maggie Mae left to create her distraction...

 

Dubliner would walk down two buildings down and wait for the distraction so that he could sneak down the alleyway without being seen in order to find another way into the Fort Knox of a train station...

 

He couldn't help but think, however, that someone set them up... He had never met Ted nor the tycoon, Sammy. But he suspected that one of the two men were responsible for this...

I think that will work! Maggie said to Dubliner. She went into the train station away from a set of lockers then started screaming for help.

HELP HELP!  Maggie screamed for all she was worth.  There is a child trapped on the train tracks! she said. The cops ran towards her then she pointed to to other end. Plain clothes ran that direction too. Behind that train! Maggie yelled. Several men scrambled down onto the tracks to get around the train.

The police were busy trying to get around a train to the trapped child. This gave Dubliner his opportunity. When Dubliner came in unnoticed by police Maggie slipped away. When she went she saw a man going to locker 215. It must be the guy she thought. He opened the locker, took a bag then walked out. Maggie followed then signaled to Dubliner to watch the police. This was not near done!

En was sitting in his office waiting for an update. He was becoming frustrated. No one had told him a damn thing! He wondered what the hell was going on down at that train station! If they didn't pull this thing off he was going to be pissed! He impatiently waited for someone, ANYONE to update him.

When the phone rang he scooped it up after the first ring. Hello! he said anxiously. It was a business associate reminding him he was stopping by in a half hour. Cancel it and don't call me I'll call you! he said slamming the phone down. He had to keep the phone line clear. This was all making him nervous. He trusted his family but this Ted guy was making him anxious!

After a good long search for Maggies baby, Tony headed towards the locker where he saw a man taking the bag. He quietly followed the man out of the train station. Tony had never seen Ted before so he was going on a guess of who this man was. The man entered a taxi, Tony also entered another Taxi. He figured he should call En about now but he didn't wanna lose this package thief so he pressed on. The thiefs taxi stopped at a large gate, where the grabber exited the car, looked around and walked through. There was a warehouse in the distance, Tony told his taxi driver to head to the nearest payphone. Upon arrival he dialed En up and filled him in on the situation. There was loud shouting for a good minute until Tony just left the phone off the hook. He paid the cab driver, cocked his hammer and went for a walk.

En's went to pour a drink. He needed something to settle his nerves! As he poured a glass of Jameson, the phone rang startling him and he spilled some on the counter. DAMMIT! En shouted as he hustled to grab the phone. Hello! 

It was Tony on the other end. He explained that he had followed the guy to a warehouse. 

A warehouse? What the hell is he doing at a warehouse? He had the girl at a safe house! I swear by God if this man is screwing us over I will shoot him myself! Where is everyone else? En was firing question after question at Tony. Tony kept trying to say he didn't know anymore, that he'd find out, that he saw Maggie. He explained the diversion at teh train station. En wouldn't stop. WHERE THE HELL IS THAT GIRL! WE CAN'T KEEP HER IF TED COLLECTED THE RANSOM! SOMEONE NEEDS TO EITHER MAKE SURE TED CUTS HER LOOSE OR FIND HER AND RELEASE HER IN CHICAGO! 

Tony gave up. En was getting all excited and it wasn't helping matters. All of a sudden the other end of the phone went quiet. Tony? Tony? You there? The line appeared to be open but Tony was not answering. En slammed the phone down in frustration. He got his keys and gathered up a couple bodyguards and headed towards where Tony said the warehouse was.

Now that Maggie_Maewas in hot pursuit after TonyMontana who was following<font color="#000000"> TED</font>, poor Dubliner was standing there not knowing which way to go.. so Domino saunters past the cops and stops to ask one for a light.  As the cop strikes up a match, he doesn't even notice that Domino has replaced the cigarette she was holding in her hand with a stick ofdynamite. Before he can stop himself, he ignites the fuse and starts running and shouting at all the other cops to run for their lives.

Domino tosses the dynamite into a pile of nearby oil cans, she and Dubliner make their break for the back alley so they can hook up with the rest of the crew.

nis going to be so pissed when he gets here, we better leave him a note, you got a pen on you? she asks Dubliner.  He shakes his head no, still stunned by the events as they have unfolded.  Domino reaches into her boot and pulls out a tube of lipstick, rips off the sleeve of her shirt and scribbles a quick note to their leader...

En takes a trip by the train station to be sure his guys were out of there. He pulled up as Domino was writing a note with what looked like to be a tube of lipstick. He instructed the bodyguards to get out and go into the train station. Just as they got out there was a loud explosion!.

Grab a taxi guys and follow us! En said to them. Dubliner, Domino, get in! Lets go!

They piled in and En sped off heading towards the warehouse. Tony and Maggie were having a smoke outside the warehouse when they pulled up. 

How long ago did he go in there? En asked. Maggie and Tony conferred and agreed it'd been about 40 minutes.

Haven't seen any movement in there Boss. It's been pretty quiet, Tony told him. 

Alright guys, lets go in. We can split the dough with him and make sure the tycoons daughter is released. The group walked up to the door. Tony banged on it. No answer. He banged again. Still no answer. En stood back. Break it down guys! En told Dubliner and told. He stood back while the two busted the door open. they were met by an empty warehouse with a back door open. Search the place! En instructed. Maggie_Mae, TonyMontana, Dubliner, and Domino went through the place. No one was there. En was getting pissed. Where the hell was the tycoons daughter? Where had Ted gone? En walked to the open back door and looked out. There was a an empty dock. Tony, Maggie, did you hear a boat? En asked them steaming. 

No Boss, not a thing! It was quiet! Tony said while Maggie nodded in agreement.

Well he seems to have taken off with our cash! We need to find him and the tryant's daughter! En said emphatically. Ted had double crossed them! Lets get going. He doesn't have that big of a lead! We find him and we will make him tell us where the girl is! He ain't getting a dime now either! What he will get is cement shoes!

It'd been a long time since En was this mad. He had screwed up trusting Ted to begin with. He should have sent one of his own along for the entire thing!

It's on now! Lets go! En said to his family. Someone call the HQ and get Major_Beard and MrAnderson to check the local safe house off Kent Ave! Tony, where is that phone you called me from?

Report Post Tip

Maggie knew where the phone was. I got this! Be right back! She dashed to a phone then called the HQ. MrAnderson then Major_Beard were informed. She hung up the phone then got back to the group.

Done! Where to Boss? There is a boat a couple docs over! We can help ourselves then look for him! Where else did he go but on the lake! Maggie said.

Alright Maggie, lets boost the boat then find where he went. It is the best shot En said. They all went to the boat. 

I can hotwire it! En said Maggie looked at TonyMontana to rescue us. I will do it Boss, Tony said. Maggie was relieved! Tony took charge by going to hotwire the boat.

Report Post Tip
"Shit, why did I open my mouth, I dont know how to hotwire a boat" Tony thought as he eased his way to the boat.

"GET A MOVE ON TONY"!!!! Yelled En

Tony hurried to the boat, he had read somewhere that there were two wires under the steering column, and supposedly if you cut them and touched them then the vehicle would turn on. He didnt know how true that was though, he didnt even remember where he read it. Tony quickly found a bundle of wires all different colors, not thinking clearly he chose his two favorite colors, black and red. He whipped out his switchblade and cut them in half, his hands were dirty and he read somewhere always have clean hands before doing tedious work. So he dipped both hands in the water and scrubbed, then he grabbed the Red and Black wires and touched them together. There was an electrifying feeling running through his body, he hadnt remembered reading the side effects of water and electricity. The boat shorted out and all the guages reset soon after. Tony looked up wide eyed and jumpy to see if anybody was watching, but everybody was rambling on about Ted on the docks. Tony took a step and created static in his hair, his clothes were kinda burned also, he hoped nobody would notice. Just on the right side of the now broken boat was another boat which had the keys in it, so Tony carefully walked across and started it up.

"What are you doing" asked En.

"Were t-t-aking this one b-b-b-boss, the other o-one was e-e-empt-ty" answered Tony studdering.

Everybody jumped in the boat as Tony sped off, locked and loaded, some were excited, some were mad, others were just shocked. Tony had never driven a boat before but he remembered reading somewhere that it tasted just like chicken.

"Wait, what the hell"? He thought

Tony zoned off into an electro magnetic world of his own , just then Domino yelled, grabbed Tony by the hair and pulled him off the driver seat. She then brushed thehair from her hands and grabbed the wheel.

"I see the cheap bastard up ahead"

Tony felt bad, he felt he deserved an apology and a wig.

"Yeah? How come? Shit you know where he is? Ok Ok im on it"

Major put the phone down and rushed down the stairs of the HQ building. "Kent Avenue safe house" were the words on his mind. He stopped by at the armory grabbed a light machinegun and a few clips of ammo. There was no time to wait for MrAnderson he could meet him at the safehouse.

Arriving at the safe house, Major kicked the door down with the gun in his hand. It was empty enough although there were signs of recent movement. "He must have been using this place as his hideout"

Examining a pile of papers he finds a navigation chart and a compass. He rushes to meet the others at the dock.

TonyMontana was holding his head rubbing where Domino had yanked a handful of hair out of his head. En knew the feeling. That woman was tough! En and the family cruised the lake looking for signs of Ted. There were a few possibilities. A couple boats were pulled up to docks. Domino got out to check and see if the engines were warm. No luck. They moved up to lake continuing the search.Each cove was thoroughly searched. When they reached the east end of the lake they say Major_Beard come screaming up to a dock. He screeched to a halt, got out and waived his arms to get their attention.

Pull up at the dockEn told Domino. Lets see what's up. As they pulled up Major_Beard came rushing to the boat. Fill us in En told him.

I checked out Kent Ave Boss! No one was there but there looked like there had been recent activity there. A couple coffee cups were still on the table. There was rope by a chair. The phone was off the hook as well. It looks like whoever was there left in a hurry! Done with his report, Major_Beard waited on Enaento to respond. 

En thought on this for a minute. The girl wasn't there.Ted wasn't there. It appeared that he had been holding her there are one point but had either moved her or ... En didn't want to think about what that but could be. He hoped something didn't go wrong. Killing her was not part of the plan. She was to be returned unharmed. Just as En was about to speak, Domino shouted for him.

Hey Boss, come here! This boat is warm! @Domino said. En looked over and En was standing by a small motor boat with a pair of oars sitting inside. This would explain why no one heard a motor. Ted could have rowed out a distance before firing up the engine and taking off.

That BASTARD! En said furious. Everyone off the boat! Major, did you pass a car coming over here? En asked him.

Not a one Boss! Not one! Major_Beard said.

Everyone piled out of the boat. Alright, he can't be far! We are going to search every inch of this area. En said looking around. There were woods to the left and center and a high brush area to the right. 

No way did he go into that brush, En heard Dubliner say! I'll bet that prick is in those woods, he went on, pointing to the left. 

You heard the man! Lets search those woods first! Groups of two about twenty feet apart! Signal each other if you see anything! lets go! En ordered his crew. Dubliner was known for his uncanny sense to know where to go. En had learned this early when Dubliner first did some work for the family. Dubliner was also good at making himself invisible. En liked this kid more and more each day.

En and TonyMontana took the middle. Domino and Maggie_Mae took the right. Major_Beard and Dubliner took the left. As they were making their way through the woods En couldn't help but wonder where MrAnderson and RangaLad were hadn't En sent for them as well? En was so hyped up by this whole thing he couldn't remember. 

They were about 10 minutes into the woods when a rock came flying towards En and Tony from the left. En looked over just as Dubliner was about to launch another one. That was a great way to get someones attention, En thought. When Dubliner saw that En was looking his way he pointed into the woods a little further to his left. It was then that En could barely make out what Dubliner and Major_Beard had found. There was a cabin with a lighted candle in the window. En picked up a rock and tossed it carefully towards Maggie and Domino. He made sure not to directly hit them. He did not need their wrath! They looked over his way and he motioned for them to come over. When they arrived En pointed towards the Cabin raising a finger to his lip. They quietly made their way over to Dubliner and Major_Beard who had not hunkered down in the woods about a hundred yards from it.

I think we've found Ted guys. We need to play this like the girl is inside since we haven't seen her. Lets hear some ideas, En said to them. He waited and listened as the crew proposed ideas. When everyone had their say they'd reach a consensus on a course of action.

While everybody is planning, Tony is plotting a more devious scheme, he steps back and hides behind a tree. Tony pulls out his trusty switchblade, he watches Dominos every movement. When he sees his chance he creeps up behind her and slowly grabs a lock of hair thats hanging from her head and begins to cut it off. Success, he removed the lock of hair and eased his way back behind the tree. He pulled out a small bottle of glue from his pocket and squirted a good amount on the top of his head, he placed the new hair on top. It felt quite nice he though, its wasnt so chilly up there anymore. Plus his hair now smelt a little better, Tony eased his way back into the crowd to join the masterful planning. Enaento gave him a look as if he noticed, but didnt say anything just smiled.

Domino pitches out her idea to the group... I think we should have Tony dress up in the gorilla costume and go running wildly through the forest, waving his arms and making as much noise as he can.  When whoever is inside the cabin comes out to investigate, we shoot em' - go get the girl, grab the money, dump the body, then go back to HQ for some appletini's! :)

Completed convinced that she has come up with a totally viable plan the group will agree on, she folds her arms and leans back against a tree, props the heel of her boot up on it's roots and lights up a cigarette.

"Yuck cigarretes!" The cigar smoker thought to himself.

"Very well the gorilla costume is a good plan. However i think we need to split up. As Tony draw their fire , AHEM  attention we should split up in two groups and approach the cabin by opposite side. Whoever is inside comes out recieves fire from both sides, dies then we check the cabin out and voila, drinking time"

He looks at Enaento waiting for his approval

While Domino and Major_Beard speak, En takes an elbow from Maggie who motions for him to look at Tony. En looks over and sees what appears to be a piece of Domino's hair glued to his head. WTF?  He looked over at Domino. The damage wasn't severe but the damage to TonyMontana was going to be immeasurable when she realizes what he has done!

Alright, sounds like a plan. Maggie go get the gorilla suit and meet us back here. En told her Maggie ran off to get it. Major_Beard passed out cigars while we waited. thirty minutes later Maggie returned. 

Alright Tony. Into the gorilla suit you go! Get within a hundred feet of the cabin and start making some noise! En instructed him. I want the people on the other side of the lake to hear you! Stay behind a tree until he comes out to investigate then come out. The rest of us, lets cover the flanks. Stay parallel to the house and shoot him when he gets to the bottom of the steps. I don't want anyone shot in crossfire! En looked at his watch. Ten minutes to get in place everyone. Lets go! En took Maggie_Mae and Domino with him. The rest flanked the other side. They were in position and waiting for Tony.

This plan rubbed Dubliner the wrong way. He had a terrible feeling about this... During this chase, Dubliner has managed to deduce that Ted is quite a smart man. Any man who knows he's being chased by several powerful people wouldn't walk to a window or out of a door because of a sound. He will most likely use the girl as a body shield and check the sound, which makes getting a clear shot impossible...

In order to save the girl and the "business" with this tycoon, Dubliner spoke up after the groups split up. 

Umm... Boss... Maybe this isn't the best course of action to take.

En looked at Dubliner quite perplexed... Dubliner continued, I mean, what if he uses the girl as a body shield?

Dubliner, you run and tell the other group this. Bring them back so we can create a new plan... We CANNOT risk killing the girl! 

 

Dubliner rushed off into the forest towards where the other group went off to. As he was running to catch up with them, he tripped on a tree that had fallen over. Dubliner flipped over and face the building that was only about 50 yards away from him. En looks at Dubliner and hears some shuffling coming from inside the house. Dubliner is stuck in plain view from a window of the building... Several shots ring out as Dubliner is hit multiple times. The window shatters and glass falls to the floor along with bullet casings... Blood flies from Dubliner's body and he slouches over the trunk in silence... His right shoulder, stomach, and right leg had been hit... Dubliner struggles to get to his feet to try and move to safety. 

Another shot rings out...

Dubliner falls down. He just took a shot in his left leg. He screams in agony and pain. Dubliner is stuck in the open without a way to get to safety. He tries his best not to make any motion towards En and the other group to give away their presence, but Dub also knows that It's only a matter of time before this man finishes him off... NO LOOSE ENDS.

 

He has no idea how much time he has until one final shot kills him...

 Tony fires multiple shots into the window as he tries to make his way towards ​Dubliner who had already sustained many wounds. He finally reaches his brother in arms and starts to pick him up onto his shoulders when he hears a gunshot and feels a sharp pain in his lower back. There's something warm running down his back and he knows its not sweat, but he keeps on hoping he doesn't get hit again. There's a group of trees together which looked like the perfect place for cover, Tony made his way too it, and upon reaching it he put down his brother and sat down to take a breather.

 

"Its all good brother it will all be over soon"  Tony Mumbled

Dubliner's vision is getting blurry and it's hard to make out words that Tony says to him. He then wonders how hilarious it looked for a gorilla to come running up to him and pick him up from the perspective of the gunman in the house.
