I Love NYC

01. Late   David Singue has been living in New York City for the past 2 years where he's been working as a freelance assassin. It's around 9:15 PM on a mid-August evening and he is working late. He should have been done with the job over an hour ago, but some one else showed up and got in the way. He is quite frustrated, as he is late for his date with his girlfriend, of 8 months, who still does not know for sure what he does for a living. Finally, at 9:23, the guy leaves and David's target is left alone. Shortly there after, David takes out his target in one shot from his sniper rifle. He then rushes back to his Jeep, where he changes quickly and freshens up.

02. Jill   Around 9:45, David hastily walks into the restaurant (not even 4 blocks from his hit) where he is meeting his girlfriend, Jill Gales, who is already there. David is 45 minutes late and Jill was about to leave after not being able to reach him. They eat dinner with out saying too much to each other. After dinner, David drives them to a dance club. David isn't that great, but he has much improved since they started dating. After a few hours of dancing, Jill says she's tired and wants to go home. They have a quick glass of water and then leave.

03. Attacked   While walking back to Jill's apartment around 1:00 AM, Jill starts to bring up a few issues of trust that David apparently is lacking with her, but is shortly interrupted. A black van pulls up next to them on the sidewalk and five guys jump out. They head straight towards David and Jill and they're all wearing very nice suits. They quickly surround the couple, and it is shortly apparent to David that this is no ordinary mugging, so he tries to talk to the men. Without responding, four of the men jump on David and the fifth one grabs Jill. With a hand over Jill's mouth, the man throws her in the back of the van. Meanwhile, David is putting up a rather good fight against the other four. He puts two down, but is overwhelmed by the other two. Seeing that Jill is in the van the two still standing start to run off.

04. Bars and Alleys   David starts to chase one of the men. The man runs into a restaurant and David chases him through. He exists from the back and heads for the back of a bar. The man gets out his phone and begins to call for help with David right on his heels. The man runs through a few other restaurants and bars and down various streets and alleys. A few minutes later, one of the other men comes out of no where and knocks David over. David gets up and starts to fight the two men. During the fight, David is knocked unconscious and falls to the ground hard.

05. The Call   David is awoken by the sound of his cell phone ringing. Looking at the phone, he sees that it’s just before 2 AM and in some alley. Not recognizing the number on the caller-id, he answers the phone and it is one of the men that had kidnapped Jill. Still on the phone, David gets up and heads to the end of the ally. After checking a street sign, he starts walking to colleague’s apartment. The man tells David that they are demanding a ransom be paid in two hours at a specific address. David recalls that the street given is somewhere in Queens and he says that he will get the ransom and deliver it in two hours.

06. 0utR1ght   After walking ten more minutes, David arrives at a rundown looking apartment building. David climbs the 4 flights of stairs and heads to the end of the hall and uses a key from his own ring to enter. This apartment belongs to 0utR1ght, a hacker who works for David. After an explanation of what had happened, David asks 0utR1ght to check the address where the ransom is to be dropped off and to trace the number of the caller. While 0utR1ght works, David goes into a back room and changes into some black fatigues and a black t-shirt. Then he gets some munitions and the money for the ransom. He had no intention of letting it come to that, but he knew it was better to be prepared. Shortly, 0utR1ght traces the phone to a powerful mob family that lives in the area: The Carnines, now the biggest operating mob family east of the Mississippi.

07. Recon   David goes back into the other room and gets more stuff. 0utR1ght provides the address to David and he leaves. After arriving at the address a half an hour later, David finds a good place to hide and waits. The address that belongs to the phone is a warehouse, but no one is there. After half an hour, David has 0utR1ght do a check and he finds out that the Carnines own most of the warehouses in the area. David looks around and finds one that looks like it has occupants inside. Hiding along the way, he moves quietly up to the warehouse. He climbs up a side in the shadows from the street lights up to a window. Wiping one of the dirty windows, he sees that Jill is being watched by the five men that had kidnapped her. Climbing back down, he opts for a frontal assault. David heads back to his Jeep and grabs his gear: a .45 Assault rifle, two .50 Magnums, and large survival knife.

08. Taken Back   He picks the lock and walks in the front door. The men are very surprised to see David, as the drop time is in 15 minutes and a few miles away. David greats the four that he can see and tells them that there won't be any ransom paid. They all start to laugh and David learns that two men are up in the scaffolding with a rifle. David quickly draws his two Magnums and shots two guys in the head, killing them. Before they hit the floor, David jumps to his left towards some boxes while unloading the rest of his clips at another one of the men. The remaining three men start to shoot at David, but they mostly miss. Dropping the handguns, he draws his rifle and picks off the two guys in the scaffolding. Then everything is quiet as David searches around the warehouse for the last guy, who surprises him with a shot to the left leg. David quickly spins and shoots the man down. Putting down his rifle, he starts to head back to Jill to untie her. On his way, a man he hadn't seen jumps out from behind some boxes and puts a gun to Jill's head. David knows he doesn't much of a chance to think, so he quickly pulls the knife from its sleeve at the top of his back and throws it at the man, killing him.

09. Explination   After hugging David, Jill slaps him across the face in a 'how could you put me through this?' manner. She also inquires about how well he did with out much more than a scratch. David admits that he had been shot, but Jill isn't satisfied with his answer. David avoids answering right away by applying a temporary bandage to his leg. But years of practice allow him to finish quickly with a decent bandage and Jill is still waiting for an answer. Reluctantly, David explains that he has been working as a free-lance assassin for the past 2 years. Jill also gets that that was the reason he was late to dinner earlier that evening. David says he will provide more of an explanation, but he must get her to safety first, so they leave.

10. Safe House   Arriving at 0utR1ght’s apartment, David takes Jill up. She is very unsure and scared, given recent events, but David pushes her on, assuring her it will be okay. Letting himself and Jill in, 0utR1ght says he has never had a girl in his apartment before. Both Jill and 0utR1ght are clearly anxious of each other. David goes back to the other room and grabs a couple beers for them and explains the situation, which calms both of them down. Finally, 0utR1ght asks David what he is going to do. David tells them that the best solution he can think of is to see The Father (of the Carnine family) and set things straight. While 0utR1ght gets the address of where The Father stays, David stocks up on ammo. David assures both of them they will both be safe and he leaves. As he leaves, David hears the beginnings of an awkward conversation between his girlfriend and the hacker that works for him.

11. Moment of Silence   Arriving in the warehouse district of Queens, a half an hour later, David parks a block away from Father's office. He takes his guns to an ally, where he can remain unseen while he readies them. Then, peaking out from the ally, he takes a second look at his target and then for a good position to begin his attack. He shortly finds a semi-truck and decides that it will be perfect and climbs up. He then takes a moment of silence and readies himself for what he about to do. David's info from 0utR1ght said that there were about 30 guards. If he was lucky, he would only go through half of them. Then David starts sniping guards at particular times to not raise suspicion. But after a few minutes, a panic spreads through out and the guards spread to a defensive positions. David has to move in.

12. Trail of Blood   David puts the sniper rifle in the jeep and grabs his other weapons: an assault rifle, his pistol, and a large knife. The silencer on his magnum proves very useful. David also disables the security cameras on the way, finding them using the schematics 0utR1ght had given him. David pictures The Father, in his office, watching his cameras go out one by one, and he chuckles a little. Through the warehouse, David runs to the stairs leading to the office area. He takes out a few guards in the hallway and makes his way to the double doors of The Father's office. David smiles into the camera watching him right before he disables it as well. He then takes a second to catch his breath again. Then David lets him self in the unlocked office.

13. Approached   An hour later, David arrives back at 0utR1ght's apartment. Going in the front door, David is surprised to find 0utR1ght's head in Jill's lap, both of them are asleep. David quietly wakes up Jill and she says he fell asleep in her lap while they were watching TV and she only just dozed off herself. David and Jill leave quietly and they go to Central Park to watch the sunrise. It's around 6:00 AM and David comments that that was the best date he's ever been on. After thinking about it, Jill agrees. As the couple sits there, enjoying the sunrise, a woman in a suit that David had never seen before approaches them and introduces herself as Ms. Russell. She says that she had been watching him for a few weeks now and wanted to offer him a job unlike anything David has ever known before.
