Stormy gathers his people together for a briefing on what is going to happen next week.

"OK guys, My info is that the state govenor is coming for a bit of R & R.

He will be staying at the hotel near the Casino and bringing his wife and 8 year old daughter with him. He has 3 secret service agents as guards for his family and 1 for himself.

My plan is that when he goes to meet the Mayor we will kidnap his family and hold them for a ransom of $5 million.

I will be in charge of the snatch.

Tommy The Mobster is the driver. You need to steal a van and fit it with false plates etc. I will give you maps of where we are going to hold the hostages. It is a bunker about 17 miles out of town that Defence department contractors built for themselves when they were evaluating ammunition for the great war a few years ago and has not been used since. I have been there and it is in good repair and all facilities are still working.

Don Wheeler is Sniper 1. You will be with me on the snatch and when they are safely away You find a place where you can watch the main entrance to the hotel AND the governors suite.

Invisible kid. You are sniper 2. you will also be on the snatch and then come back to town and find a place overlooking the drop off point, which I will tell you privately.

M_Stracci is in charge at the bunker. His instuctions are to be obeyed implicitly. he will also collect the ransom.

Mrs wheeler. I need you to go to a pharmacy for some knockout drops for the secret service agents. Not too weak, We need them out of action so they cannot identify any of us. You will also go with Tommy.


The primary objective for this operation is not the money, but to show the mayor who runs this city.

The Snatch

We will be dressed as hotel security personnel. We will be in position BEFORE the secret service do their checks. They will find nothing. When the govenor leaves for his meeting Mrs wheeler will give the Agents their coffee with the knockout drops in it. We then take the govenors wife and daughter down in the service elevator to Tommy's van and he and Invisible kid take them to the bunker.
When they arrive there M_Stracci will take a photo of them holding a daily paper which will be delivered to the Govenor (Invisible Kid will bring that back).

I will brief the snipers later on after the snatch has been sucsessful.

I need you to report here when your tasks are complete.

Comes walking in after having done some surveillance.

guys iv just found a great spot to stash our guns and i saw a great van parked a good 15 minute drive from here, i think this is actually going to work.

with a smile he begins to play with his rifle, cleaning it, making sure the scope is okay and making sure theres no jam.

Tommy's task was to get a van, change the license plates, and then ready it for the operation. Before the day of the kidnap, he managed to get the new license plates. Only thing he needed now is a van. He found it in a secluded spot, and switched the plates. He hotwired the van and drove it to Haz.

*to Stormy

upon seeing tommys arrival back at hq he stands and shakes his hand

fancy coming to fire a few rounds off my friend?

with that he turns and begins shooting the makeshift targets

Stormy staggers into the HQ carrying a large box. He starts phoning round to tell every body that the security uniforms for the job are ready for them to collect.

Seeing Tommy he says " Glad I caught you. Didn't want to give this information over the phone. Here are the maps and all the details of exactly where the hide-out is. Go over the route in your own car and get back to me if there are any problems."

haz looking quite smug with himself decides he does not too practice becasue of his 'skill' he beleives he posesses. with that he looks on anxiously at stormy about the mission ahead of us!

"Glad you came in Haz, Take your uniform. In this envelope is the location of the drop for the cash. Do a recce tomorrow and pick a site which covers all the approaches. We don't want Stracci jumped as he collects. If anyone follows the Governor,Waste him before he gets to the money"

Takes his unifromm and gives a slight laugh at it

ok i got it i will take a good look around now

Tommy takes the map, hops in the car, and goes to the hostage keeping location. He soon returned.

It's all good. By the way, nice place, Stormy.

suddenly decides hes bored of shooting after the couple hours practice and goes to the workout area to begin weights, feeling the need to get into focus before the job. he piles on 150KG and begins doing reps. he then shouts to stormys in bursts,

ve-ry ni-ice pla-ace!

I have mapped out the area and have found a great vantage point!

"OK guys. the secret Service have been in and checked the place over. They have swept for bugs as well and found nothing."

"Hotel Security has been beefed up and Tomorrow WE take over the shift. The snatch is ON"

"Don, Once the governor gets the picture and ransom demand he is going to try and call the cops. From your vantage point if he tries that put a bullet into the phone to show we mean business. see you all tomorrow"

Putting the weights back he walks over to the sofa to get some rest

Haz make sure to kick me when its time to go

and with that he fell straight into deep sleep, with the odd snore here and there.

"I will be in charge of the snatch."

Good luck with that, Stormy.  It's a hazy mystery.

M_Stracci walks into the hotel room, seeing all of the men already lined up. He walks over to Stormy.

"Alright, I set up all of maps, rifles, wiretaps, and radios in the bunker. If you need any supplies, such as an upgrade to the van, I'm ready. I've got duct tape and rope in the main room. If anyone needs me, I'll be keeping track of everything from the basement downstairs until tommorow morning. That's when I split for the base. Anything last-minute will be taken care of, and explosives are placed two stories below the room of the governer. Eerything is fool-proof"

M looks around the room, eying the other members of the kidnapping.

"Has everything been de-briefed? I'm just a little jumpy. I'm not worried about the ransom, only the kidnapping itself"

M takes a deep breath, and coughs a little. Let's hope nothing screws over.

"If you're wondering why explosives are underneath the governer's room, they aren't really explosives. They're faux. They will release enough steam, made to look like smoke to crowd the three floors. It will slow any guards on the floors from catching up to you fellers"

M turns around and opens the door.

"I'll be in the basement for now. Get me if you need me, sir?"

Haz now cant get much sleep because he has been told to wake up Don when it's time, so he will wake him up very nicely indeeed!

a few hours later haz decideds its best he does get some sleep and ignore what don has said.

Oh welll Don will still love me i hope

Ok guys. Time for the last checks. we are taking over the security in a couple of hours and do the job very shortly afterwards.

If you have any questions NOW is the time to ask them.

No Booze now until afterwards We all need to be on top line.

wakes up at the instructions of no booze, and doesnt look too happy,

Good Lord i had the worst nightmare just now, we were told we wernt aloud booze

Looks genuinly shocked, before seeing haz asleep aswell, and puts his blanket over him. His partner obviously needed some rest aswell. He then stepped outside for a smoke.
