This is the first chapter of the several club stories that are going to be made. We are trying to make them as connected as possible, following a clear story-line.
Please keep in mind that everything in this thread is strictly OOC (Out Of Character).
The club as a whole had been earning money and putting it in the clubs treasury, which would be used for various things. Considering Midnight Club was recently established in Los Santos, funds are low and so is the member count. Akio, together with the present command, arranged the weekly meeting at an provisional office. Mr. Asakura and Han Akimoto had rented out a small workshop a few days former to the meeting. The rest of the members did not have insight about this, so they were surprised when they showed up to the address given by Akio.
Midnight racer started the meeting with everyone who was present. They all grabbed some type of beverage and sat down. Many various topics were discussed, including an upcoming race and funding. The treasury was not looking positive, showing that an possible race would pretty much cleanse the entire bank account. Akio had rented out the workshop solely so that the club-members could have some alone-time and work with their cars. Not having much spare money, the club was in no position to provide parts, something essential for the members. One option was that everyone would buy parts for themselves, but that option was not something that Akio was ready to take. He simply said
"It will be solved, somehow..."
Anastasia and Benjamin took the meeting to heart. They wished the best for the club and they were ready to do what's necessary. They went down the stairs and stepped in the repair-room. They took a look at the old and rusty parts, laying on the table. Anastasia said
"The only race we can win now is against a Brioso and Warrener, ha ha."
Both of them laughed, not because it was fun, but because it was tragic. Not knowing what to do next, Ana came up with an idea.
"You know old Bayview? The mechanic place close to the DMV?"
To which Benjamin nodded understandably.
"I mean...The gate is closed, no one is there and there are tons of spare parts that they haven't moved yet."
Benjamin started to understand what Anastasia was thinking about, and he liked it.
It was time. Time to get the essentials.
Planning was done, not in-depth, but some sort of approach to the problem was made. The two, yet to be the unknown club-contributors, made their way to the discount store. From watching all those old movies, they knew that black stealth clothes is a must. Benjamin and Ana bought the cheapest pair of clothing they could find, it only had to serve the purpose of disguising them. The duo changed, from top to toe, going from two hippies to two bad-ass racers.
The next stop was 24/7, the story located right next to the discount store. Having bought the clothes, they still had to get some supplies needed for the "big heist". The list of things to get was pretty short. Kit Kat's (for energy of course), one crowbar, a couple of bobby pins (Ana possibly needed it for her hair) and a saw-cutter. Surprisingly the store had a saw cutter. What a weird country we live in, right?
Having everything needed, Ben and Ana were ready. Considering that they could not really use the V12 to transport all the parts, they borrowed Jonas Klarsen's mule. They refueled the mule and then proceeded to Ana's house to get a few crates (Yes, crates. They were not going to carry it by hand). The commercial truck and Schafter switched parking tickets and parking place behind the restaurant, no one would notice it.
Los Santos had been quite quiet for the past few days, which could be seen on the roads. On their way to Bayview they could not see a single soul, whether it was on the sidewalk or the actual road. No one was getting second thoughts, it all in or nothing at all.
"Think of this as a little adventure, Ana. Worst that can happen is that both of us get sent to jail, but it's not a biggie since it's probably your second home."
To which Ana responded
"Yeah...fuck you too."
They had arrived at their location and total silence dominated inside the truck-cabin.
Obviously, they parked behind the place and scouted it a bit. When it was time they took out a few crates from the back, placing it on the ground and putting on their masks & gloves. Having the mule unlocked, they both jumped the fence (sadly it had metal wire...they both got ripped their clothing) and proceeded to advance. Ana said to Ben
"Do you want to fix the gate while I prepare the crates?"
To which he responded with
"Yeah sure, give me the hard task while you sit on your ass doing nothing..."
Having the saw cutter in his portable bag, he used it to destroy the fairly small lock on the gate. A lot of noise was made, but no one was around to hear it. After a bit of work, the gate was unlocked and the duo was ready to snatch a few things.
Taking various tires, equipment, nitro and such, they were pretty much done. They had things that were needed...and not. Constantly communicating about serious matters (yes, they were definitely not talking about other things), they had total control over the situation.
Ana "I got everything that I was supposed to get."
Ben "Which was?"
Ana "Well...tires?"
Ben "Seriously, Ana..."
Ben "Luckily I knew how this would turn out, so I put the rest of your list in the crates."
Radio silence
Loading it all in.
Showing Akio Asakura what the duo had "ordered" from an Japanese company.
Totally legitimate receipt that was handed over to Akio. Both Ben and Ana had assured him that it was all legal and nothing weird was going on. When Akio asked where they got the money from, they said they had received an unknown donation from someone. Who knows, maybe they will actually receive it some day.
