I don't know if this has been pointed out, but anyone wishing to follow the story so far, as set out by the creators of LCP themselves, should go to the Muck page . Redesigned a few weeks ago, the Muck is a fabulous on-site resource. Each timeline has a short summary, which leads to a more in-depth page, which links to each of the eight cards, so you can read the story at any level of detail you choose.

We don't know Kerry's real last name (from his real father).
We do know that his mother was the daughter of David O'Grady.
David was the son of Mary White (possible relation to Lucy) and Jeremiah O'Grady.
Jeremiah was the son of Ben & Kellie O'Grady, and Kellie was the daughter of PSullivan. And hence the lineage that McPherson figured (and we combined with Kerry's bible).

[STORY] Story So Far

Strauss - a broker who owes him $70 000 - tells McGurn how and when $1M worth of bonds will be transported to a bank.

Picking an extremely minor nit: It's two million dollars, per " Bank dicks ."

Oh, heh. I was going by the numbers here , and if the 1% that Strauss wants is ~$100,000, then the transaction is actually more like $10M - not the $1M that I miscalculated. So, um, $10M is nothing like $1M or even $2M. Hm. Maybe there was something else - $8M worth of something - included in the "transaction" besides the bonds? I have no idea what's going on here. I'll just edit to "x million dollars" :D

Are we sure William made it to the audition? I thought the phone call sounded like "don't worry, I'll be there..." and I assumed he was jacked on the way there, not on the way back.

I agree with this. The audition was a ruse set up by Spider, or her handler, to get William's car to an isolated location. My bet is that they expected Lucy to be driving him and that Spider thought that this would be a good way to "talk" to Lucy again. When it turned out NOT to be Lucy driving, Spider took William as a bargaining chip/bait.

The empty car is robbed, but, in the end, no one is arrested. Or killed, even.

Well, it seems like Strauss was probably killed, right? After the mysterious knock on his door that so nicely coincided with him thinking that They would never find him? :mrgreen:

I also think that Strauss was killed. I wonder if I should rephrase somehow; what I'm trying to convey is that no one was was arrested or killed during the holdup, per newspaper .

Hm... somehow I thought he did make it there, but you're probably right. I'll change it.

Wednesday:

"Richardson" turned out to be another alias for Two-Gun Hart - Vincenzo Capone, Al's brother. He is law enforcement (in Nebraska, he served as a Prohibition agent). Al Capone was spending most of 1929 in jail, where he somehow found out that his guys back home are planning a revolt against him. He asked Vincenzo to go to Chicago and make sure that nothing happens to his wife and son.

When Vincenzo got to Four Deuces, he ran into Anita - part-time singer, part-time Al's informant. Anita overheard a conversation between McGurn, Ross, and Guzik - they are planning to blow up Al's car as it takes off from the train station when Al returns from prison back to Chicago. Al's wife and kid would also be in the car, as they, naturally, will go to the train station to welcome him home. While McGurn and Guzik are not too thrilled about this, Ross, who came up with the idea, is looking for people to execute it. Before he gets a chance to find any, Vincenzo shoots him. With the Gun.

Meanwhile, McGurn has another plan. Strauss - a broker who owes him $70 000 - tells McGurn how and when x million dollars worth of bonds will be transported to a bank. In exchange, McGurn forgives Strauss's debt. So, the armed car robbery is set up for Tuesday.

Peter - the "kid" that got beat up - seduced McGurn's wife with unprecedented speed and effectiveness, and found out about McGurn's plans for Tuesday. He told this to Armageddon who - naturally - is an undercover Fed. On Tuesday, Armageddon sends an empty car to the bank, and delivers the bonds himself. The car is held up; luckily, no one gets killed; the robbers go home empty-handed. No one gets arrested, either. Peter goes back to wherever he came from, and Armageddon goes back to preaching undercover. End of Chicago story.

Though we didn't get to meet any of Lucky's friends or relatives in Chicago, we learned that Vincenzo Capone bought the Gun from an old Texan who told him the Gun was Colton White's. Colton White happens to be the main character in GUN (the game).

-------

In 2005:

Lucy has a strange hobby of telling people she drives for free fake stories about her life. While she's doing that, William has to ride to his Celebrity Poker Survivor interview with some other driver. On the way, their limo is stopped by Spider and her guys. Spider shoots the driver and kidnaps William, reasoning that Lucy will agree to deal to save William's life.

Kerry told Simon that he was hired by McPherson - he finally realized that McPherson has been lying to him all along, and that he has been murdering people for nothing. Simon pounds on him for a while and then lets him go. Kerry goes to Corazon's place. Lucy is there having dinner, and both Corazon and Lucy already know why Vic was murdered - because he was a witness (with hard evidence) to Robert's murder - but now they will probably want to ask Kerry who wanted Vic (and, therefore, Robert) killed.

Matt Viet realizes that he is a hax0r - not a gangster, and wants to get rid of the Gun. He can't handle the Gun. So, he takes it to - are you ready for this? - Clay. After a short rendezvous with his conscience, Clay decides to hide the Gun in the same planter he hid it in when this whole mess started.

And there you have it for this Wednesday.

[EDIT: edited to correct Colton White - thanks, EGo]
[EDIT: two more edits as per posts below]
[EDIT: x is probably $2 000 000. But since it can also be $10 000 000, I'll just stick to "x"]

Ok, not to keep whoring the guide or anything, but I've done some more rearranging as I was getting annoyed with my own chaotic ways.

The Character List is now divided into characters by year of their story (e.g. 2005, 1945, 1929, etc as they come)

There is now a " Where the crap is the gun now? " timeline available

The 1945 How Lucky got the Navy Colt story has its own page and is in (I believe) correct time order

Considering that we now also have a story from 1929 and the Mobsters , they too now have their own story page, in what I think is the correct timeline of action.

If you find any mistakes, send me an email, a PM through this forum, or find me in IRC (ScrappyDoo).

Thanks!
