Niko was having lunch with Roman in some Diner in Manhattan. Roman was free and they decided to have lunch together Niko was busy and Roman was busy so they didn't really spend a lot of time together. Roman was reading the paper, the front page read "NEW YORK UNITED BANK ROBBED, BAD GUYS GET AWAY."

"Can you believe this Niko? That's some crazy shit. I bet you wish you'd pulled off a job like that..."

"Who says I didn't?"

Roman spits his drink out

"Holy shit, no way who'd you do it with?"

"Calm down Roman I did it with some Irish brothers one of them died though so they aren't really in high spirits right now. I mean the whole thing was very unprofessional we got lucky."

"You got away with the money though cousin that's what counts."

Roman looks at his watch

"Anyway cousin I have to go work another shift at the depot the rest of us aren't rich like you."

Niko laughed asked for the bill. The waitress told him that someone was on the phone for him. He paid the bill and as he went over to the phone he had a strange feeling someone knew where he was at any moment he could die. He was picturing a car pulling up in front of the diner and shooting the place up or maybe one of the cooks sneaking up behind him and stabbing him to death then cutting him up and getting rid of the evidence in the meat grinder.

"Who is it?"

"It's me meet me at the office. Now."

He recognized the voice immediately It was the mysterious man again he wanted to meet Niko at the First Liberty Construction office. Niko knew that he had powerful friends and went down there right away. What did this guy want? He got up to his office and knocked on the door. He saw him with a copy of the paper.

"Just because you're working for me doesn't mean you get a free pass to do whatever the hell you want. You're bringing in a lot of heat. Hanging out with bad people, doing bad things, making idiot moves. Shit that I don't need. "

"So what I guess I'm an idiot."

"You are an idiot but a good idiot and I need you. What I don't need is you getting caught."

"Why because it leads them to you?"

"Who am I some middle aged guy in this office there are about a hundred men in this building that fit that description. They snoop around here and what is this? An empty office leased to a guy who died during the war. No I'm not worried."

"Can you tell me why I'm here then?"

"You remember James right. Robert Browns friend? Turns out he's involved with some nasty people. He's probably more involved than we believed earlier. I need you to neutralize him but I need to find out his movements first. In the meantime there's a plane taking off at Floyd Bennett field that I need you to get your hands on. Once you have it take it to the airport in Newark and my guys will take it from there."

"What did you give Michelle for me?"

"Michelle? Karen we gave her her life back. We didn't play too rough she still works for us."

"What about me? there's this guy I've been looking for..."

"We'll discuss that later now go."

Niko arrived at Floyd Bennett field and saw the plane he was looking for it was a Curtiss 18T and just landed he saw as it made it's way towards a hangar with armed guards. He was able to count  maybe 7 guys.  Two were guarding the main entrance to the airport while the other six were at the hangar guarding the plane.

This wasn't going to be easy and there weren't any opportunities to sneak in. Niko decided to take the direct approach and talk to the to guards at the entrance.

"Hey err...I hear it's buy one get one free fist store today?"

"What?"

"The fist store buy one knuckle sandwich get another one free."

Before they could answer Niko hit one of the men with a right hook to the face. Not realizing what just happened the man took a beating as Niko continued landing punches to his face. The other guy struggled to get his gun out and once he finally found his weapon a Colt 1911 it was too late Niko grabbed the mans arm and twisted it behind his back. Then he took his gun and shot both of them. This caught the attention of the men at the hangar who were now on high alert.

Niko ran towards the hangar and hid behind some boxes. The men saw him and started shooting at him Niko fired back. This continued for a couple more minutes until Niko thought he killed all of them and made his way to the plane. He hadn't flown a plane since the war while he was an infantryman back in the old country soldiers were required to have some knowledge on how to fly a plane. It took him a while but he finally got it started and running slowly he made the plane drive down the runway. He looked to his left and there was one of the men from the hangar holding on to one side of the plane. He'd take care of that shortly as the plane slowly started to climb the man couldn't hold on anymore and fell off.

"Goodbye friend!" Niko said sarcastically watching the man falling to his death

New York was quite a sight in the air he could see everything from up here. Central Park, The Empire State Building, and the chrysler building. From up there people looked like ants. He kept the plane steady for about 20 more minutes and finally reached Newark, New Jersey where the men from Liberty Construction Company or wherever the hell they were from were waiting for him. He landed the plane and two men came over to take the plane.

"We'll take it from here."

Two other men grabbed Niko and took him to an office where a phone call was waiting for him.

"My men have the plane." It was the mysterious man again "They're going to strip it down and put it back together It'll be ready when you need it."

"Why would I need it?"

"That James guy I told you about the only way we can take him out is in the air. I'll call you when we're ready to move in the meantime stay out of trouble."

The man hung up.

Niko woke up to the sound of his phone ringing in the apartment. It was 4:30 AM who the hell would call him at this hour ?Why only his good friends at First Liberty construction of course.

"Niko. We need you know the plane is ready and waiting for you in Newark. Billy Walsh is also here he's helping you out on this one."

"Billy Walsh? The Irish gangster?"

"Just get here now it's James he's on the move. This is our opportunity to take him out for good."

Niko got ready and rushed over to Jersey the city was quiet at this hour. It was pretty strange seeing it empty the city that never slept sometimes slept even if just for an hour or two. He finally made it to Newark at around 5:00 AM and Billy was waiting for him in the plane ready to go.

"There he is Mr.Fucking crazy man wanna tell me why exactly I was woken up this early?"

"It's a long story Billy I'll spare you the details lets just get this bird in the air and get this over with."

Niko was the pilot and Billy was manning the Machine gun. Niko started the plane and in a few minutes they were flying over New York City.

"I ain't ever been this high before."

"You can thank my cousin for this mess. This is all his fault he introduced me to this chick turned out she was a fed or something. Turns out the people who do all the spy shit get other people to do their dirty work."

"Did you at least bang her?"

"Yeah but.."

"So It wasn't all that bad at least you got some action. It's been months since I've gotten laid."

"Yeah yeah lets just take out this James guy."

They flew over Manhattan and spotted another plane it was James. Billy was about to start firing at James's plane until Niko told him to hold off and wait until they were in safe place.

"I don't think our mutual friend wants to be responsible for a plane crash in Central park. I think it's best we wait until we're in safe place before you can start firing."

They flew around Manhattan until they reached the southern tip and made their way to the East River where Niko gave Billy Permission to start firing.

"We're over the water now it should be fine do your thing."

"Get closer so I can get a better shot."

James's plane kept rolling around doing barrel rolls and avoiding all of Billy's shots

"Keep this thing steady I can't get a shot"

Niko was able to line up the plane behind him and Billy was finally able to land a couple shots. James's plane started smoking and going down. It smashed into the water there was no way James could survive that.

"We did it! Finally. You got some good flying skills Niko I'll give you that."

"You have terrible shooting skills Billy, if you were better we'd be home already."

"Yeah yeah just get us back to the airport. I really hope this is the last time I do something like this."

"I don't think that our mutual friend can ask us to do more than this. Now it's his turn to help us if someone can find the man I'm looking for it should be him."

They landed the plane back in Newark and Niko was escorted again to the phone.

"James is dead."

"You've done some great work today Niko and the Country is safer because of it. Now it's my turn to help you I'll find the man you're looking for I'll call you when we have something."
