"Do you see anything?" Keith stood on top of the truck, using the railing to holster a sniper while using the scope to look out over the vast desert plain all the while Trevor sat in the driver seat..

"I would have said something if I did." They had been there for what felt like an hour, with nothing to really do except wait for the convoy to arrive.

"Well… search better, they should already be here." Trevor waited another moment before getting out of the truck..

Keith heard him get out sparing a single glance before resuming his task… "Where are you going?"

"Just tell me when you see them." Keith heard the unmistakable sound of a sipper being pulled down, soon followed by a certain liquid hitting the ground…

Keith sighed, having a certain feeling that this was the normal for Trevor… all the while keeping focus on the roads ahead of him…

"I see them… fuck T.. you didn't tell me about the rest of the convoy."

A armoured military helicopter flew over the convoy, keeping watch over four SUV placed in the front and back of the two oversized armoury trucks that made up the middle.

Keith understood that it was a military score, but expected a little less considering Trevor had described it as a lightly guarded convoy, only needing a little luck…

"Take out that Heli before it gives us any trouble.."

"Fine.." Keith aimed at the pilot, planning to shoot a hole right through the windshield…

He didn't need to risk it and go for weaker parts of the rotor, as they would be long gone before any reinforcements could come…

Pressing down on the trigger Keith felt the bullet shoot out of the gun, heading straight for the pilot… even before the bullet hit Keith could tell that is was dead on target…

Yet his hard skipped a beat in shock as he noticed that the window only had been damaged, the bullet merely penetrating the outer layer without passing through, leaving cracks in the glass.

The helicopter seemed to swerve, with the pilot likely shocked because of the sudden impact, but in mere moments they had traced it towards their location, finding the lone car out on top of a hill…

"They spotted us.." Keith set a new bullet into the chamber as the helicopter broke off from the convoy with a SUV accompanying them as they headed straight towards them, leaving the other SUV's to defend the two trucks.

"Just kill him!" Another bullet landed on the glass, this time causing it to fragment even further limiting the pilots vision…

Keith hit the glass once again, weakening the glass even further….

"Get out of here…" Keith hopped out of the back with his gun… letting Trevor leave…

"What?"

"I said leave!" The chopped had gotten close enough to shoot, with the SUV not to far behind it….

Trevor stepped on the gas, causing the chopped to change directions, giving Keith a view from the side, shooting the side glass to cause it to turn back towards him….

Seeing the chopper approach, Keith took a deep breath, letting the air fill his lungs before slowly releasing it as he let another bullet fly… shooting through the glass windshield right through the skull of the pilot… causing the helicopter to lose control and start to decent….

Before Keith could sigh in relief, he noticed that the object would crash awfully close to his position. With no time to spare, he dove away, narrowly avoiding the potential danger of shrapnel hitting him.

Behind him exploded the helicopter, sending a wave of wind over him, carrying all kinds of things "Fuck…" getting back up Keith checked up on himself, finding that his clothes were only a little torn up from the experience…

He could see Trevor evade the SUV while heading for Keith's location…

Waving him over Keith slowly walked sideways while aiming for the driver of the SUV, shooting through the glass of the SUV only to his the driver in the chest… with the magazine empty Keith didn't have the opportunity to do a follow-up shot, thus focusing on getting on the truck with Trevor to catch up with the convoy…

Slinging the sniper to his back Keith began to sprint towards a more open location, Letting Trevor pull up alongside him before having to jump on into the back… not needing Trevor to stop to keep ahead of the pursuers…

"You alright?" They immediately sped up again, heading for the convoy.

"Of course.. Why wouldn't I be.." Keith's heart was racing, as he lay on the bed of the truck…

The bumps shuck the truck causing Keith to be thrown around in the back, eventually clinging to the side as he used the cage support himself…

"Give me the big one…" They were closing in to the convoy, soon they would have to fight them as well, something which Keith would like to deal with something other than a pistol.

They had gotten to onto the road meaning that it was less bumpy for both of them, giving them the opportunity to pass a light machine gun between them, letting Keith use the grip to attach to the cage surrounding Trevor… steadying his aim…

The first SUV was torn to shreds as bullets passed through the glass impacting the back of the second trailer…

The two at the front allowed the armed trucks to pass them, only to end up with the same fate, with one crashing into the other, leaving them in a ditch on the side of the road…. Leaving just the single SUV far behind them….

"Get out in front of them…"

"Working on it." Trevor drove up beside the first trailer, with it slowly creeping closer to them as it closed them in with a guardrail..

"Fuck!" Sparks flew as Trevor was forced to break, speeding up to get to the other side of the trailer.

"Hold it steady…" Keith lined up his gun next to the passenger side seat, letting the barrel rest on top of the armour plating the windows had before killing the first driver…

"We got this one… lets get the other before turning back to this one!" The armoured truck slowly slowed down, losing its speed gradually as Trevor and Keith made it to the front of what little remained of the convoy…

This time it wasn't as graceful not having the opportunity to get close as the driver wildly swerved from side to side in order not to get hit, sadly he couldn't outrun his fate for to long…

"He is slowing down.." Keith couldn't tell for certain if he had died, but informed Trevor in either case.

"Perfect… grab the c4 and.." A SUV rammed them from the side, sending Keith out of the truck into the nearby dirt path…. Rolling a little bit further to reduce his speed, Keith felt his left arm burn with pain coursing though his entire body…

He didn't think it was broken judging by the pain, but it certainly was dislocates, as he could feel parts sticking out of places it shouldn't be…

Getting up Keith powered through the minor pain in his legs pushing himself back up towards the road…. Where he found Trevor in a state of frenzy beating up the last remaining Merryweather members while screaming all kinds of profanities.

"Lets move Trevor!" Keith got close to him, only to see a fist swing his way, stopping mere moments before impact…

"Fuck.." Trevor spit on the corpse before heading to his truck….

It had been mostly destroyed with parts splintering off and doors hanging only by a tread..

"Its scrap… lets go." Keith could feel a headage sprouting, as he picked up the bag containing the c4 charges, hearing metal slam against each other behind him followed by footsteps as Trevor caught up to him…

"Fucking hell." Trevor looked back towards his truck, seeing in complete ruin..

"You'll get a new car... lets just get out of here.." Keith slowly walked towards the stopped truck…

"We still need the second truck!" stopping he looked towards Trevor, letting out a audible sigh…

"… god damn it Trevor…" Keith grabbed two c4's before handing the bag to Trevor.

Keith winced in pain as he used his arm… "…Grab their car, don't expect me to wait up.."

Trevor headed back leaving him to do it alone..

Keith began to set the charges against the armoured door, pushing them against the frame of the passenger side door, before making room for the explosion to occur….

With a loud explosion the door flew off to the side, leaving a gaping hole in the truck, allowing Keith to get in… only to discover the mutilated corpse of the driver, having multiple holes poked through him with the bullets ending up inside of the seat… creating a gruesome sight…

Opening the driver side door Keith pushed the body out… settling into the blood-soaked seat before restarting the stalled engine…. Pushing in the gas peddle as he headed for the meeting location…

-

Keith sat down on a plastic chair, waiting for Trevor to arrive to the airport, as he texted Raul from his cab business to bring him a cab… he didn't have a headage anymore, but his arm was still fucked, he would need to go to a hospital eventually, but wanted to finish up with Trevor beforehand..

Keith didn't have to wait long as after a short fifteen minutes Trevor arrived at the meeting place, parking the truck besides the other one…

"Wohoo.."

"What are you all happy about."

"We did it right… come on celebrate a little, have a little fun.."

"Is the deal settled?"

"What.. oh right the airport.. yeah yeah you can use it…."

"Perfect… now why don't you open it while we still have the energy to do so.."

"Hold your horses man…. Enjoy a little…. Although who am I kidding lets break this thing open!" Trevor headed back to the driver seat before seemingly finding the switch… opening the back of the trailer… with it showing a beast of a vehicle…

"What is it.. oh don't tell me." Trevor headed to the other truck before doing the same there, giving Keith a view of both of the trailers their content..

Trevor got beside him, looking at the two vehicles parked in the first bay "Those are insurgents.."

"You know them.." Keith studied their exterior, finding there to be some second had customizations on both of them…

"Planned to buy a couple.." they were still somewhat limited edition with the testing face being done some weeks prior…

"Well at least your happy with it…" Trevor walked into the first trailer, entering the second compartment to find something that seemed to disappoint….

"Fuck!"

"What is it.." Keith watched Trevor run towards the other truck before a scream of joy was heard..

"Yess!" His conflicting emotions brought a sense of curiosity to Keith…

"What is it.." Keith walked up towards where Trevor was finding crates full of high calibre weapons and explosives… before wondering what was in the other trailer..

Slowly walking there to discover heaps of communications equipment, something Keith could use really well..

"Hey Trevor, you plan to sell anything other than the weapons?" Communications equipment was always useful, with them being able to set up secure channels to send distress signals and orders from one place to the other without any worry..

"Just useless scrab… maybe Ron can find some use with it.." Keith nodded getting

"Ill gladly take it off of your hands."

"Mhh… fine, use them as you see fit, although I do expect you to help with it when needed."

"Sure, if that's what's seals the deal…" Keith could hear a car pulling up nearby..

"My ride should be here… I trust that you can keep these two hidden here until you sell the weapons, ill dispose of them when I can." Stripping the armour plating from the truck could be used on other project or simply sold with the technology in the trailer being valuable as well…

"Be my guest." Keith nodded, before heading out of the hanger towards the cap that had arrived to pick him up.
