Three seconds until The End

By the end of the day Garret invited the other gang members and Ray was surprised to hear that it was everyone. Though she shouldn't be surprised as she mused that Los Santos is their city and if any asshole messes with it then everyone would rally around each other to beat it out.

Considering the amount of people that were interested, the original meeting space became too small. In order not to arouse any attention and to keep it top secret as possible, they moved and co-ordinated the meeting place in a different way..

To Ray it was hilarious that it had to take place during a robbery. Whoever co-ordinated this at various different houses was a genius in her book.

It was a sunny Saturday afternoon a day after the meeting and the police were spread thin due to an uptake of house robbery. Courtesy of a rumour that there is a house in Los Santos that held a key that could make the VAR heist 10x easier.

Ray was 'robbing' the house with her dear brother Yuno, who only had a minor injury from his interaction with the enemy, Taco and April. Standing before them was Mickey who shedded off his disguise so that he could freely speak to them.

"Okay, here is the plan", he said without any introductions. Immediately, everyone hunkered down because they had no time to mess around. Time was of the essence.

"Ray and Taco you guys will be coordinating with Dundee and his gang in entering the south side of the building. Our eyes still confirm that the people we love and hold dear are still there but they are at the heart of the building. There's going to be action on all sides so you can't afford to get distracted. We are trying to even things out y'know",

Ray nodded in understanding as well as Taco beside her, "Where is the meet up point?", she asked,

"It will start off as a race around late afternoon in the Sandy Shores area. Taco you will drive and Ray you're the ride along. Taco you gotta make it look like you're getting into a driving battle with Dundee as you make your way into the building. The other racers are going to continue because we don't want the police to catch a whiff of this . I love and respect you Ray so I say this with good intention. Please drive worse than April", answered Mickey,

This was met with two punches on his two arms by said women. Mickey held his hands up and jokingly said, "Please ladies there's more of Mickey to go around later now is not the time",

"Gah eww", Ray feigned barfing out while April also acted as if she's trying to hold her vomit in.

"Like barf did you hear the audacity coming from the man?", exclaimed April,

"So what will April and I do?", asked Yuno who piped up in the noise of it all. His fingers drumming on his knee visibly fidgeting in his place.

"Yes my dear Yuno, you will be with the other hackers of Los Santos. Do what it takes to make it look like a VAR and lower vault is happening at the same time with them. Meet up with Marty here", Mickey took out a slip of paper and placed it into Yuno's hand, "and just give the system hell",

"Man what happened to being sneaky?", muttered Taco in a cheeky manner, "We may not know the nitty gritty of the plan but from what I'm gathering is that we are heading in with neon vest and a sign that says look at me",

"See that's the beauty of it. The more attention and noise there is the better we can use it as a Trojan Horse or something against this enemy. It's a beautiful wild thing with guns", laughed Mickey, "The key here is to get the timing correct",

"So where does that leave me?", asked April curiously,

"What you do best April. Fortunately, the music festival is still going to be held tomorrow so you and the other artists will do your best on stage. Heck try and attract the largest crowd possible. Cause a crowd riot if you want. The less people and police there are in the area that's going to be affected the better",

April nodded, "I'm gonna live stream it then with my assistant to add to the noise", she added brightly,

"That's right Los Santos gonna be popping tomorrow", agreed Mickey with a smile.

Then before he could continue Yuno and Mickey's phone beeped. Yuno opened up the message and eerily stilled,

"Mickey", he began.

Before Ray could ask what was wrong, the Chang Gang's phones simultaneously binged.

Taco quickly looked at his phone before either girls could look at it.

"Girls", he said seriously, "We gotto go back to the chubby like NOW", he emphasised the last part.

The girls scrambled to get up and grab their 'stolen' loot before heading towards the door.

Ray could hear footsteps catching up to her and Yuno swiftly joined her. A small microwave in his arms. Mickey having disappeared somewhere.

"Ray", he said with a firm tone "Promise me that you'll be calm and collected okay?", he asked,

Whatever it was in that message filled her with apprehension. She no longer wanted to find out what it revealed lest she gets riled up in this carefully constructed composure.

"Sure Yuno and you give them hell alright?", she asked in return before the two parted ways as Taco began lock picking a pick up truck and April took all the 'stolen' loot from them to put into the other car they originally came in.

"That I can guarantee O infernal twin of mine", he laughed darkly,

This reassured Ray as she giggled feeling slightly less stressed in the presence of Yuno "Then O infernal twin of mine I will also do my best", she promised as she jumped onto the back of the pickup truck.
