Chapter 10- Transition Of Power
After suffering a major defeat in San Andreas, Joey Leone sent his entire army of mafia gorilla's across Liberty City to search and kill Tommy Vercetti and his associates. Reports swarm into Leone's office of biker gang members taking out Leone Sentinel's across Liberty. Joey's numbers are going down and fast.
Meanwhile, Tommy, Claude, Johnny and Phil head to Portland under the cover of a Triad fish truck. Once they cross into Portland, they will comendeer a Leone Sentinel to gain access to the garage at the Leone mansion.
Johnny- Which way is the fastest way to get to Portland. I'm not too familiar with old Liberty City.
Tommy- Take the Carrington bridge that connects Dukes with Stauton..then we jump on the Callahan Bridge and it takes us to Portland. We could take the tunnels...but it would be a longer trip.
The drive to Portland is a quiet one. Once they hit the Carrington Bridge, memories of Avery, whom the bridge was named after, comes flooding back to Tommy. He would have loved the bridge, and would have been honored that a city he loved so much, named any bridge or building after him. After about 20 minutes crossing into Stauton, they hit the Callahan Bridge. Old memories hit Claude on this bridge. Being transported in a police escort, only to be stopped by a Cartell roadblock..and the bridge being destroyed by TNT.
Once they hit the other side of the bridge, they make a bee-line for Chinatown. In a sidestreet by the outskirts of Chinatown, by the Red Light District, they see a Mafia Sentinel parked. They all file into the car. Tommy and Claude sit in the back and lay low while Johnny and Phil change clothes into Leone suits and drive up front. They make it to the Leone mansion with no trouble. Not very men are around the manion as the rest have gone out into the city to look for Vercetti. The garage door opens and Johnny drives in. All 4 men are armed and ready. Silencers on their guns.
Johnny- Ready?
Phil- Damn right I'm ready!
Claude nods his head.
Tommy- Let's do it!
Johnny gets out followed by Phil. Two Leone guys stand by the door leading into the house. Both men suffer a bullet through the head. All 4 men do a sweep of each room. Claude motions down the stairs...Tommy follows. They hear a muffled sound of a women crying. They open the door, and see Mercedes tied up and gagged. Tommy rushes over to her, and unties her.
Mercedes- Tommy! Ooh my God! I thought you were dead!
Tommy- Where are the kids?
Mercedes- I don't know. They tied me up and blindfolded me here.
Just then Phil rushes in.
Phil- Tommy, I found the kids..they're ok!
Tommy- Bring them here. You and Johnny watch them. Claude and I are going after Joey!
Tommy kisses his wife and assures her everything will be ok.
Meanwhile Joey is in his office and watches his security monitors. He knows Tommy is close and prepares for the last gun battle. Only 1 man is coming out alive. Tommy and Claude split up to find Joey. Tommy reaches Joey's office and takes aim at the chair, turned away from the door. He fires two shots and hears a thump. Tommy goes to look and realizes it's not Joey. He had bounded and gaged a maid and stuffed her in the chair.
Claude continues to look around for Joey when suddenly shots ring out. Claude is hit in the shoulder and falls down. He goes to grab his gun but it's kicked away. Standing over him with a gun pointed at him is Joey Leone.
Joey- You son of a bitch. You dare show your face here again. I should have killed you years ago.
Joey cocks the hammer of his gun and points.
Joey- This is for my father!
Just then a gunshot rings out and Joey drops his gun and falls to his knees. He looks up and standing there with a shotgun in hand is The Hardwood Butcher himself. Tommy Vercetti.
Joey- We could have had something special Tommy, you and me. You could have been a made man. I could have given you anything and everything you ever wanted if you had joined us. The Leone's and Vercetti's could have had it all.
Tommy- We do have something special Joey. You see, I'm already a made man...and I have everything I ever wanted. I got a loving wife and kids. I have successfull businesses in Vice City. I'm now owner of some casino's in Las Venturas...and since my home in Vice City is a pile of rubble...I have a new home to live in...yours!
Tommy points the shotgun at Joey's forehead and fires. Joey's head blows off completely, as his body falls to the floor. He helps his brother up and gives him a hug. When they meet up with Johnny and Phil, Mercedes and the kids all surround Tommy and give him a hug.
Tommy- What's the latest on the other Leone members?
Phil- We gave them a choice. Join the Vercetti gang, or get lost. Leone's are didn't stick around so they threw their guns down and left in peace. Others didn't particularly care for Joey, so they're staying by you.
Johnny- It's over Tommy. Looks like you won the war!
Tommy smiles and kisses his wife again. Everyone gets out of the house, and heads to the hospital to get Claude treated for his gunshot wound, and make sure Mercedes and the kids are ok.
