The Setup II - Part 1

Twenty-four hours later, Raj gets a call from Mr. Sam while he was at the police station, talking with one of the cops who was helping Raj help catch a criminal who escaped from Sapphire Island. The man leaves the police station, because of the police officers nearby, and cameras with microphone installed in all the station, recorded and kept in archives. As Raj got outside, he responds to the call.

"Hello, Raj! We need your help for the second phase." says Mr. Sam over the phone.

"Second phase?" asks Raj on the phone surprised by this call who was coming at a very bad time. " Wasn't the stick only phase needed to do the heist?"

"Not exactly. There was one more thing."

"And that is?"

"You know our driver Wayne got into a car accident and he is at Hospital?"

"Yeah, I've heard about it." says Raj over the phone.

"Well. He was driving our gateway vehicle."

"What?"

"And we need a new one. We need to be the same car."

"Shiiit." says Raj. "So, how are we going to get a new one?"

"Come to the warehouse. We have an idea."

Raj closes the call. The man tells something to himself in his natal language, and he is going to his car. He gets inside his car, into the driver seat, the moment he got inside, he turns on the engine and drives off to the warehouse where the heist plan is happening.

Later, the personal vehicle of Raj, arrives in front of the warehouse, but he didn't get to even leave the car, because Mr. Greg and Mike are leaving the warehouse, they walk to the car Raj owns in the last three years he bought it cheap on a car dealership online by suing his first three bounty rewards. Mike enters the backseat, while Mr. Greg takes the passenger front seat.

"Where we are going?" asks Mike to Mr. Greg without even saying a greeting to Raj.

"We are going to Radu's Repair shop." says Mr. Greg, and he looks at Raj. "Oh, hello! You know where is the shop, right?"

"Um. No."

"It is at Mall District."

"Cool." says Raj, and he drives from this warehouse, letting Mr. K and Travis manage the security of their base.

"So, what have you done in these "free days", Raj?" asks Mr. Greg to the driver.

"You know, I did my job as a bodyguard." lies Raj to the two people because he doesn't want to tell them the truth that he is a bounty hunter. "And I've also done some help on a shop."

"Shop? You own one?"

"No. A good friend from my country owns it on the North District." lies Raj again because he doesn't want to risk the life of Gregory. He might be a teenager with bad temper, but he got a good brain for business, and a resource who might help him in bounty hunters. "Anyway, what have you done?"

"Business like usual." says Mr. Greg.

"I was trying with Travis to create a plan of the heist."

"Oh. And it is good?"

"Kind of. We need the gateway vehicle."

"Understandable." says Raj, and from there, the driving to the business is silent, only music from the radio could be heard.

After a while, Raj stops at about fifty meters from a building that displays the logos of the van that was in the crash Wayne has either made by mistake or it was one of the drivers who put him into Hospital. When the car stopped, Mike leaves the car, and he tells Mr. Greg.

"I will be going on the backside of the building. I will try to cut off the electricity, then infiltrate into the garage and stole the van."

"What we can do?" asks Raj to Mike.

"Go into the store, and act like customers who wanted… I don't know, a repair or something."

"You go." says Mr. Greg. "I will remain here and keep the car safe."

"Alright." says Raj, not protesting about this order he received.

Raj leaves the car, and he walks to the store, while Mike is going on another direction. He does this move because he might be found out into the security cameras as a suspicious thing and make both of them be caught. Raj walks to the store like a normal person. He enters the store using the main door, and he starts to put this small plan to action.
