Does Devin ever pay Franklin?
Devin Weston is a billionaire investor and one of the main antagonists in Grand Theft Auto V. He hires Michael, Franklin, and Trevor to perform several repossession jobs, but ultimately refuses to pay them their promised fees. This understandably angers the protagonists, leading to a confrontation with Devin.
Devin hires the protagonists for repo work
Early in the storyline, Devin Weston hires Michael, Franklin, and Trevor to repossess some luxury cars from owners who have defaulted on their loans. He promises to pay them each a large sum for their work.
The protagonists successfully repo the cars despite some dangerous run-ins. However, after delivering the last car, Devin refuses to pay the protagonists their promised fees. He argues the job was easier than expected and doesn‘t require as much pay.
The protagonists plan revenge
Furious at being denied payment, Michael, Franklin, and Trevor begin plotting to get back at Devin and collect what they‘re owed. They continue doing jobs for Devin in order to remain close to him while planning revenge.
After Devin makes thinly veiled threats towards Michael‘s family, Michael decides they need to move quickly. The three devise a plan to kidnap Devin from his home and hold him hostage until he pays up.
The kidnapping and confrontation
In a carefully orchestrated kidnapping, the protagonists infiltrate Devin‘s mansion, subdue his security guards, and abduct him in an SUV. They take him to a secluded spot in the desert and call his lawyer to demand payment.
When Devin continues refusing to pay, Trevor becomes enraged and threatens to torture or kill Devin. Michael and Franklin have to talk Trevor down while insisting Devin hand over the money.
Finally Devin acquiesces and agrees to transfer payment to their offshore accounts. The protagonists release Devin, having successfully obtained what they were owed.
Conclusion
In summary, wealthy investor Devin Weston hired Michael, Franklin, and Trevor for repo work but then refused to pay them their substantial fees upon completion. This led the protagonists to take revenge by kidnapping Devin and forcing him to pay up. Their bold plan was successful in collecting the money Devin unfairly denied them.
