“People change. Sometimes, those you thought you could trust with your life turn a new leaf. People who you once felt comfortable around, knowing they would help you in any situation, become some of the greatest threats.”
-Jason Campitelli
This is the story of Mr. B
It was another busy day for Jason. Being head of recruitment was a lot of work, constant text messages, phone ringing off the hook, organizing interviews one after another. Jason managed to find time for himself, heading to the bank to collect his hard earned money from the day. Another phone call. This time, instead of another unknown caller, it was a friend. Jason was happy to pick up a call from Molly, they would usually chat about Weazel articles, the constant happenings at the pier or talks about offroading trips with Los Santos Overlanding.
This call was different.
She asked Jason for the number to reach Mr. B.
He had always been a man Jason could trust, always ready to come help Salvation when they needed it. Unfortunately, Salvation’s old friend Mr. B recently got tangled up with the Russian mob, part of a merger with The Firm. News spread fast that the mob was changing him, turning him into a loose cannon, the once soft spoken and trustworthy individual was now a bloodthirsty and impulsive mobster. Jason knew how dangerous Mr. B now was, and it was out of the ordinary for Molly to make contact with that type of man.
“Why do you need his number?” asked Jason. “If you need a weapon we can find you one” he added.
“I’m going to kill him” Molly responded.
Jason’s mind rushed, trying to make sense of what he had heard. Trying to understand why one of the most level headed and calm people he knew was trying to take on a very high profile man.
“Where are you right now?” Jason asked over the phone
After convincing Molly to talk to him about what was going on before it was too late, Jason called together Salvation for a meeting, to which Molly was asked to join. They met at one of their apartments, and got her side of the story.
Mr. B has been targeting women. Another dear friend of Jason’s, and a friend of Salvation, Veronica. Mr. B approached her earlier in the day at the pier, insulting and harassing her, threatening her life. He followed her to her place of work and did the same, to which her managers turned a blind eye. To Salvation, Mr. B has always been the kind of man willing to sit down and talk over issues. The crew managed to convince Molly to attempt a conversation with him, ensuring that she would be under constant surveillance and protection from Salvation. The time and place was decided, they would meet at the Pier that night.
Following some deliberation, Messiah made the plan clear. There we’re to be men scattered across the pier to keep an eye out during the encounter. Some pretending to fish, others hidden up on the roof, armed and ready to engage if Molly’s life was in danger. Jason and Messiah we’re parked just outside the pier, ready to roll in guns blazing if the call was made. A familiar black SUV pulled in, a vehicle Jason recognized as belonging to Mr. B from his time working at LSC. Molly entered the vehicle. Tensions were high, all members of Salvation ready, finger on the trigger, and their safety off.
Commands echoed over the radio from Messiah: “KEEP THE RADIO CLEAR, WAIT FOR THE CODEWORD!”.
A minute passed, which felt like an eternity to the men and women on lookout. Molly exited the vehicle, it drove off, and Salvation stormed in to ensure her safety. Once everyone had collected themselves it became clear what happened. When Molly entered the vehicle, the Russians spotted some Salvation members. Mr. B claimed to have seen 40 members waiting to ambush them. He was not willing to talk, and now believed we were hunting him. Molly was safe and had Salvation watching her back from now on.
Once the sun rose, Jason and Messiah we’re parked outside the bank when they spotted Mr. B walking inside. Messiah decided to try calling him. When he answered, he had no interest in hearing our side of the story, and ended the conversation by saying “Tell Molly I’ll be seeing her” before hanging up.
A few days passed with no further encounters, until one of our members spotted Mr. B at the pier and approached him. At this point news had spread that he had decided to part ways with the Russians. He was informed of the situation from our standpoint, and apologized to Veronica the next day.
Sometimes, apologies aren’t enough, and while Molly let the situation go, Salvation never forgets.
Jameson Bulger’s fate will soon be decided
