All day yesterday, Hayley spent time plotting on what to do for this upcoming evening. She knew there would most likely be more attempts on her life than the previous day. So how could she manage to stay alive for another night? She first confided in someone that thought she would trust in them, even though she knew he would report right back to the gangs. She told him that she was going to be hulled up in an abandoned club on the east side of town, and that if he could smuggle food into her, she would greatly appreciate it.
Step one was giving them the wrong location. Step two was obviously setting up the booby trap for them. It wouldn’t take much, they obviously weren’t the brightest bunch in the world. But she would have to be strategic in how she did it. Cause just enough of a distraction that they won’t go after her that night. Make sure no one was too badly harmed so she can’t be jailed, at least long term for it. And ensure that she was nowhere near any of this. She spent the rest of the day fixing her traps…..
On the west side of towns, 3 of the 4 gangs met up, deciding on how to deal with Hayleyy. “So we know that Hayley is on the…”
“Hold up, hold up.” One of the younger gang leaders had interjected. Where is that ahole from the 4th gang, you know the….”
“I think he is probably licking his wounds after the beating her got last night.” Everyone chuckled to themselves, even though that calf injury was probably fairly debilitating.
“Anyway, Hayley is on the west side, hauled up in an abandoned club. If we combine all of our strength here, there is no way that Hayley can escape this one. We will quickly and quietly do a full perimeter of the building. 3 people will take the surrounding roof tops, to prevent any antics like we saw last night. Two people will be allocated to guarding each exit. One person must remain at each exit at all times, no matter what happens. The rest of us will head inside, and kill this motherfu…”
“But our gang leader wants him alive so we can get informat…”
“No, she is too dangerous. She is kill on sight. No exceptions.”
“But, we didn….”
“We don’t care what you agreed to. Unless you want to take on the two biggest gangs in the city on this, you might want to learn to shut your mouth and learn your place.”
When the three gangs arrived at the club, they were surprised. They thought this club was abandoned. But with the booming music and the flashing lights, it looked fully functional, even if it didn’t *look* like anyone was inside.
The gangs decided to continue with their plan anyway. They each tried the 3 door entrances to the club, and was met with locked doors. On three, they decides they would break them all down at once.
“One. Two. Three.” Three of the bigger members of the gangs kicked down the doors, which is when there was a ginormous boom. All the gang members by the door were thrown backwards. The doors had been rigged to very small bombs, which exploded right when the door was flung open. At least 6 gang members lied on the floor, unconscious from the explosion alone, with almost all members injured in some way.
“Lets get that little bit…”
“Hey, shouldn’t we take care of these guys, or bring some of them to the hospital, or..”
“Our job was to take out this girl that thinks its fine to mess with the gangs of this city. She needs to learn her lesson. Or this stuff will just continue.”
“But she is only doing this because we are going after….”
“I don’t want to hear it, in there, NOW.”
A horde of about 4 gang members entered the building. Strobe lights were going off in there, making it hard to see. In fact, no one realized when the first member tripped over a trip wire, causing him to land on a sharpened piece of glass. He turned over on his back in pain, with tears in his eyes.
“Watch out, this entire place is rigged.” The leader said, now eyeing everything carefully. He could see a shadow coming from the DJ booth, and he motioned that everyone head up there. They arrived at the DJ booth to find a door that seemed to have pressure against it. In a fit of rage, the leader toppled the door over, which led them to a cutout of Hayleyy and a recording began playing.
“Welcome gang members. I hope you are having fun in my little, fun house, so to speak. Now, don’t worry, the party is just getting started. If you are hearing, this, you must have toppled open the door to the DJ booth, as I knew your brunt mind would tell you to. This has set off a timer on the doors. You see, they are actually on a track so to speak. Did you notice that there was no lock on either side of them? The lock is actually internal, it’s a pretty nifty thing I picked up. I control when it’s locked or not. And you will notice that about now,” There is a pause and the gang members hear one loud slam. “that all of the doors are officially closed. You will also notice that there is a gas being emitted from the ceiling. Now, that isn’t a smoke machine, it’s actually a combination of aerosolized poisons. Now, I would gather that you have maybe 10 minutes to escape there. Which means you can either stop your charade of trying to kill me, or I can let you die. It’s your choice. You have about 9 minutes and 43 seconds remaining.”
----------------------------
A couple of blocks away sat Hayley in a different abandoned building. “This will be entertaining. The placebo effect should really be setting in right now. Coughing and puking. If only I could be there.” Of course she hadn’t used poison gas, it was just an old smoke machine from the club. But maybe she could scare them to quit it at this point.
Hayley walks out of the building and towards her car, which is just past a homeless person sitting on the side of the road. “Excuseme lady, do you have some change for me? You see I just lost my job…”
“Beat it, oldie. I have more important things to do then…”
That’s when she heard the safety click. “More important then getting shot in the head." She felt the barrel, cold and unforgiving against her head.
“You know, I am actually very impressed." She slowly turns around, doing what seems to be a true congratulatory clap. I didn’t think anyone could get to me, but you…” She shifts her body weight downwards and looks down, trying to look reconciliatory, “are much smarter than those thug gang members. You knew that I,” she points to herself, “would not be over there,” She points outwards towards the building. She sees the homeless man’s gaze shift momentarily behind him, which was her chance to shift that outward hand into a block of the gun. She hears the gun go off right next to her ear, and feels blood dripping from the tip of her ear.
The gun is now on the floor. The man rushes over to try and grab it, but Hayley is quicker and kicks him upward in the face as he is bending down to grab it. As his head snapped backwards and upwards, she does an open hand strike into the side of his head, crashing it into the brick building behind him.
“No one makes me bleed. I should honestly kill you for that.” She mutters to the unconscious man.
In seconds, she had disappeared down a nearby alley.
-------------------------
“Chief, is it true that you have arrested yet another member from the El…”
“Yes, yes. We have almost gotten to the point of dethroning this gang, and taking away its stronghold on the city. One more imprisonment, and they won’t know what to do with themselves.” Everyone in the audience chuckles, as the chief’s eyes were filled with exuberance.
“Now, can you tell us anything about the evidence you have compiled against this gang member?”
“Well, you see, they are actually the bookie of this game. They call him “El Contador,” which I can only imagine is some Spanish translation for a bookie?” In any event, they kept records on all of the gang member’s activities, which we now have access to! This should open us up to even being able to arrest the top ranking members of the gang.”
“Do these records indicate anything about other gang involvement?”
“Moderately, but we have much more effective ways of compiling evidence on these other gangs. Hopefully we will be more effective with dealing with these other gangs in the future, after this current one is dismantled. For without this strong pin gang, the other gangs will succumb awfully quickly. Political connections will disappear, corruption will go away, business will become nonexistent for them. They will have nowhere to run, nowhere to go. Then they will be picked off one by one.” The chief stares off dreamily. “It truly is wonderful to be alive.” He says this with a beaming smile.

In other news, a different one of the gangs received a tape last night from a wire tap, but also disposed of it almost immediately. It stated:
“Hey hot stuff, you looking for someone sweet to pass the time with.”
Additionally, this speech was heard at the courthouse today:
“Your honor, another travesty is afoot and it behooves you to make amends and reparations.PBCis a model citizen, an member of the PTA, volunteers at the nursing home and orphanage, and single handedly stocks the soup kitchen. Someone this great should be given the key to the city, not thrown in jail for absolutely no reason.”
The appeal was denied, but the mayor is scheduled to award the key to the city to PBC within the coming days.
Speaking of the mayor, he has proposed two major laws since taking office. The first has finally passed the House of delegates, and is moving on to the senate to be ratified. The second law, which initiated in the senate is currently being filibustered…..
Imprisoned is Caia, el contador, Villager.
It is day 3. Lynch/hit deadline is set for 8:30 pm est. There are 32 players remaining in the game. Note that there was movement last night, and that we are now on DAY PMs!
