My Chain Story

[Fallcreek]

Holy smokes, a new page!

 

1) Just then, the elevator door opens to reveal Dwayne, who Packie had left back in Los Santos a while back.

 

A grin formed on Packie's face as he seen Dwayne Forge exit the elevator, dressed in his signature leather jacket and jeans. It felt like it's been ages since he's seen the guy.

 

"Dwayne!" Packie exclaimed, rushing over to greet his old friend. "It's good to see you, man."

 

Dwayne extended a hand towards Packie, dapping him up."Same with you, bro", Dwayne then shifted his attention to the rest of the guys, "I heard you boys were looking for Rocco?"

 

Niko nodded, "Yeah, long story short, he has a contract out on him worth $35 million".

Gerry pointed to Westdyke on the LC map that was sprawled across Niko's pool table, "We're thinking he's here, at Pegorino's old spot".

"or somewhere in Vespucci in Los Santos" Niko added.

Derrick cleared his throat, "Figuring Westdyke's just across the West River, I suggest we start there"

 

"Well..." Dwayne started, "Lets get evil".

Jason and Lucia finally made it back to the warehouse where the Pelosi Family kept them locked up previously, on Odhner Avenue, in Port Tudor. 

The street was quiet, but the warehouse was seeing some activity from the Pelosi Family as the couple approached from the sidewalk.

 

Jason turned towards Lucia, "Should we just walk in? We don't have any beef with Nancy".

Lucia shook her head, "Are you crazy? They're not going to give us our money back just like that, even if it's still in there".

Jason saw the logic, sighing. "And definitely not if it's the money Nancy put up for the contract".

"There's only one play to make here" Lucia said calmly, moving down the street towards an alley that bordered the warehouse. "I sneak in".

 

Moving out of sight from wandering eyes, Lucia and Jason ducked behind dumpsters. Lucia reached for her handgun, which she thought was tucked into the waistband of her jeans, only to realize that Pelosi's goons had stripped them of their weapons when they were taken prisoner.

 

"Damn it," Lucia swore under her breath. "They took my Glock, Jason".

 

Jason remembered that the only people who had escaped the warehouse armed were Adam Burns, a Canadian, and Regan Jones, an Australian. But they had no idea where those two were now.

Lucia decided that she would go in alone, reasoning that it would be easier for just one person to stay undetected. Jason protested, saying he didn't want her to go in alone. But Lucia insisted, saying that she would be fine.

 

"I'll keep lookout here," Jason said reluctantly. "If I hear any gunfire, I'll hit 'em from behind."

"With what? Your cock?" Lucia giggled and winked at Jason.

 

Jason then watched Lucia slip out from the dumpsters they were ducked behind and watched her approach the warehouse, feeling anxious as she disappeared into the shadows.

Mona Sax roared across the Hickey Bridge in a stolen Dominator she snagged from the underground parking garage on Topaz Street in North Holland, the engine of the car rumbling beneath her. She was listening to the contract details being read to her by a robotic voice on her phone, which was resting on the dashboard of the car. She had one earbud plugged in, while the other dangled at her side. The voice narrated the story of Rocco's rise to power after Hercule's downfall. In the chaos that followed, Rocco had stepped over the other five families that made up the commission, climbing to the top and becoming the most powerful man in the city in record time. Rocco himself hadn't been seen since his takeover, instead preferring to fight via proxy using his goons. But it was only recently, Rocco had been flushed out of hiding by the Group of 13 at the warehouse. Mona decided to scour Rocco's known position in Port Tudor.

 

Mona pulled up to the warehouse on Odhner Avenue, her stolen Dominator growling as she came to a stop. She sat in the driver's seat for a moment, eyeing the Pelosi Family goons that were patrolling the area from a distance. The contract details mentioned that there was a gunfight here not that long ago, and it looked his goons were on edge.

 

I doubt there's anything of note here, but maybe there's a document or something that'll point me in the right direction.

 

Mona knew that Rocco had taken over a mansion belonging to a certain James Pegorino a while back, but Rocco would have to be a bonafide moron to go home when there's a bounty out on his head. He'd be somewhere no one would expect.

 

A family member, perhaps? But Nancy was his own flesh and blood.

 

Mona sighed, and reached for her Desert Eagle which was snug in her crimson red jacket. She wasn't one for sneaking around, and she needed answers if she was to snag the bounty.

 

I gotta hit these guys with everything I got.

 

Mona pulled back on the slide of her hand cannon and stepped out of the Dominator, ready for a gun fight.

 

What Next?

 

1) We stay with Mona as she gets into a gunfight with Rocco's goons at the Odhner Avenue Warehouse

2) Before Mona can get into a gunfight with Rocco's goons, she notices a man approaching the warehouse, dressed in a zipped up leather jacket and green cargo pants - Claude.

3) We cut to Lucia as she's sneaking into the Odhner Avenue Warehouse on the other side, when she hears gunshots ring out from the distance. She thinks Jason has been spotted.

4) We cut to Hercule as he's being discharged from Westdyke Memorial Hospital, when Mr. Black guides him to Pegorino's Mansion via text.

5) We cut to Paul, Packie's LS accomplice as he's watching Packie and his friends getting suited up for something big from a distance.

5) We cut to Paul, Packie's LS accomplice as he's watching Packie and his friends getting suited up for something big from a distance.

Paul had done his homework since we last saw him, and successfully tailed Niko, Packie and the gang back to Northwood, now perching up in a perfect vantage point on an adjacent rooftop. He grits his teeth as he jealously observes Packie greet Dwayne with genuine happiness, like an old friend. Where was his fair share of all that when they worked together?

 

Paul: And then you dumped me like a crazed ex over some getaway car. F*cking chump.

 

He squints his eyes trying to make out what the Group of 7 were all huddled around. Some kinda map? Not good enough though, he's unable to even hear them from this distance. He braces himself for a leap across the gap and onto the patio - it's risky, but with everyone so focused on suiting up for whatever reason, it's a risk he's willing to take. For vengeance!

 

The jump is flawless, but what Paul didn't account for was Niko just happening to turn around after putting on his reinforced suit, to breathe in some fresh air. The two end up virtually face to face, equally shocked and all, but it's Niko with his experience who reacts first, drawing his gun while Paul stumbles in the process of trying to find his pockets.

 

Niko: Hands up! Whoever you are.

Paul: Screw you! As if this isn't embarrassing enough.

Niko: I said hands up or I'll shoot, you trespassing motherf*cker!

Packie: Niko, wait, I knew there was something about that voice. It's Paul! Paul from Los Santos!

Paul: Oh, wow, Mr. Big actually remembers. Even when living the high life in a luxury penthouse with his perfect friends.

Packie: Man, piss off with the bitter bullsh*t. I thought we were done anyway.

Paul: Over a getaway car! You petty f*cking diva!

Packie: Friend, it was actually you who stormed off in a huff. Remember the hour-long rant about how tired you were of my stories?

Paul: But you started it all by getting all self-important on me! And clearly this is what you valued over me all along, since you ran straight back with a tail between your legs, when you had to deal with adversity on the West Coast a single f*cking time!

Packie: F*ck that. If you had listened to my stories for just a sec, you'd know I hit a Triad fishmarket, a mob depot, and the biggest bank in town with Niko and some of the boys here. Then, I come to LS, looking for a brand new start, it turns out to be a piece of sh*t drug store robbery, and THEN my chimpanzee-brained companion here won't even bring a getaway car for when sh*t hits the fan, yeah, I'm f*cking out!

Gordon (quietly): Are we just gonna listen to this old couple all day?

Packie: Oh, but not before robbing the Union f*cking Depository, I might add! With a crew of certified-ass professionals!

 

Paul becomes a bit flushed and starts speaking more sheepishly with his head down.

 

Paul: I mean, what do ya expect? Good cars don't come cheap and - what, you expect me to just take one off the street?

 

Packie and Niko exchange sarcastic glances that just express more than a million words.

 

Gerry: OK, that's e-f*cking-nough. What'd you even expect to get out of coming here? To be let in on our sh*t? To kill Packie and just walk away?

Paul: Well, umm, since you put it that way-

Dwayne: Just get on with it, kid. You're wasting our time.

Paul: And what the f*ck do you think you are, huh? Packie's lover or something?

Dwayne: What?

Packie: Oh, great. Now he's jealous.

Gerry: Just shoot him or something, Niko, he's on your property after all.

Packie: No, don't shoot him, he's just a git who doesn't-

Gordon: And the bounty waits for no one!

Derrick: Oh, good job, you f*cking imbecile!

Paul: Bounty?

Niko: Great.

Packie: I agree, but unironically. This could be the start of a redemption arc.

Dwayne: What you into now?

Packie: If he got that chip off his shoulder for a second, he could - observe us in action or something. See with his own eyes that my professionalism ain't just a bedtime story.

Gerry: You're officially outta your mind.

Gordon: Do we gotta split with him? If it's 7 people, it's a perfect split of 5 mil. 8 makes it awkward, you'd have to be a university level mathematician or something.

Paul: I ain't going after no bounty without a paycheck.

Packie: Hey, we make the rules here, not you. If you'd at least tried to be nicer right off the bat-

Derrick: He came here wanting to kill you!

Niko: I think I agree with Packie here.

Gerry: Pussy move if you ask me.

Niko: I see it with my own eyes that this man here's being rash and unreasonable, but he could still be motivated to do the right thing.

Packie: Yeah, and not killed like 2 posts into a page.

Dwayne: Shut up, Packie.

Packie: No, you shut up, Dwayne.

Paul: Having fun with the BFF?

Dwayne: Listen up, tough guy, we've experienced sh*t together that would leave ya a shivering mess cryin' for your mommy all day. We're brothers in arms by this point, and we banter with each other all we like.

Niko: OK, how's this - he gets to tag along, unarmed, and just witness us collect Rocco's bounty. Then he can decide if he wants to work for us in the future, or go back to whatever sh*theap he has in Los Santos, and robbing drug stores.

Packie: Without a getaway car.

Gerry: I say we at least vote.

Packie: I said no kill-

Gerry: Between taking him with us, and locking him up.

Niko: Fine with me. What do you think, Michael?

Michael: Yeah.

Dwayne: Why'd you ask him of all people?

Niko: Because he hasn't had a line yet.

Packie: See, Dwayne? Who's the fourth wall breaker now?

 

What happens next?

 

Paul is admitted to the gang and...

1) Decides to sabotage them in secret and ally himself with Rocco instead.

2) Somehow manages to save the day while a group of Uncle Vince's men launch a surprise attack.

3) F*cks something up in a panic as soon as they encounter a group of mobsters.

 

Or...

4) Paul gets left tied up in the bathroom and the Group of 7 set off after Rocco.

5) Cut to the International Crime Syndicate.

[Corndawg93]

4) Paul gets left tied up in the bathroom and the Group of 7 set off after Rocco.

We cut to the group of 7 just outside the mansion surveying the entrance for any shadiness going on, inside a black van they discuss what happened back at the penthouse

(Packie) Think he'll be fine?
(Gerry) F*ck no, he's gonna be pissed if he ever finds you again
(Michael) Not to mention the knot Niko put him in, what was that knot called
(Niko) The Balkin knot, it's supposed to weaken the nerve inside the wrist that connects the trigger finger to the brain
(Derrick) That's hardcore
(Packie) Will the knot kill him
(Niko) No, just numb the hands for 12 hours
(Dwayne) Did you learn that sh*t in the war?
(Niko) No, Ray Bulgarin taught me, long before the Adriatic incident
(Gerry) Enough about Packie's girlfriend, Does anyone see anything out of the ordinary?
(Niko) Seems pretty quiet so far, maybe no one's home
(Gerry) Who wants to have a look-see, can't send everyone
(Dwayne) How about for old time's sake, me, Packie and Niko check it out
(Niko) No problem, let's go
Pack, D and Niko leave the van to investigate the house, while they do that we cut to the penthouse with Paul cursing Packie's name, repeatedly saying "Packie is a deadman" out loud
(Paul) FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUU

Paul wriggles around in the chair he's tied to unable to feel his hands properly for some reason, he then jumps up off the ground and hits the floor very hard, doing so caused a loud crack to be heard, so he jumps again and the chair break apart, Paul now free to move gets up and runs out to the patio and attempts to jump over the railing and go back the way he came but because of his hands being numb from the knot, he loses balance and falls between to the buildings to his impending doom, with the Packie's ex accomplice fate up in the air we cut back to the bowling alley where Roman is crying over the fact that Kate is better than him at bowling

(Kate) You've lost your mojo old man, the future is now
(Roman) You're grounded
(Kate) WHAT!!!!!!!

We leave this very dumb situation to follow Paul again
What is Pauls fate???
1) He fell on a piece of rebar impaling him threw the stomach
2) He fell on his leg, with such force his knee exploded
3) He landed safely on a mattress, thus causing him to have a come to Jesus moment and decide to forgive Packie and leave the life of crime he has chosen
4) He straight up died from the fall

1)

 

Paul awakens groggily, his vision still blurry as he takes in the sight of the towering buildings surrounding him. He lies on the cold metal platform of the fire escape, connected to Niko's North Holland Penthouse, his body aching and his stomach pulsing with pain. As his vision clears, he notices a piece of rebar sticking out of his abdomen, the metal slick with his own blood.

 

He tries to pull the rebar out, but it's stuck fast beneath him. With a pained whisper, he curses under his breath. He knows he needs to remove the rebar if he wants to survive. Summoning all of his strength, he gives a guttural cry and yanks himself forward, feeling his abdominal muscles tearing as he struggles to free himself. The pain is excruciating, but he finally manages free himself from the rusty rebar.

 

Paul clutches his blood soaked shirt and lurches forward, gasping for air. Feeling the familiar iron taste welling up around his tongue, he coughs up blood onto the metal grating of the fire escape, the crimson droplets falling through the gaps and into the dark alley below. He begins to stumble down the fire escape, each movement causing him more pain. When he reaches a safe height, he jumps to the ground, landing hard on the concrete.

 

Despite the throbbing in his wound and the dizziness that threatens to overwhelm him, Paul picks himself up and stumbles across Galveston Avenue, heading towards a parking lot belonging to some apartment projects. He breaks the window of one of a blue Sultan and climbs inside, hoping to find some respite from the cold and the pain. He leans his head back against the seat rest and closes his eyes, trying to ignore the pulsing agony in his abdomen.

Agent 47 stepped off the plane at Francis International Airport with a cool, detached demeanor. He held his suitcase tightly, the weight of his signature Silverballers inside pressing against his grip. As he navigated through the crowds of people, he adjusted his tie with one hand, his eyes constantly scanning the terminal for any potential threats or distractions. The noise of the airport was a constant hum in his ears as he made his way to baggage claim, blending in with the crowds as he searched for anyone who might stand out. As he reached the baggage carousel, he took a moment to assess the scene, looking for any signs of danger.

 

On the other side of the baggage carousel, Dakota Carrington and Alessa waited for their luggage. Dakota took in her surroundings, noting that the airport hadn't changed much since her last visit. However, she had heard rumors of shifting power dynamics in the city and, after being involved in numerous conflicts, she had come to expect the volatility of simply being in the vicinity of the city.

 

"What are you thinking about?" Alessa asked, her eyes scanning Dakota's face inquisitively

 

Dakota met Alessa's gaze, "The past", she said simply. "Just keep your wits about you, Alessa".

 

Dakota spotted their bags coming along the carousel. She grabbed hers and Alessa's, then made their way to the exit where they hailed a cab

 

What Next?

1) Dakota and Alessa arrive at Niko's Northwood Penthouse, when they stumble upon a wounded Paul, bleeding out.

2) Dakota and Alessa show up at City Hall, looking for a tip on Rocco's location from Mayor Bernie

3)  Dakota and Alessa notice that they're being followed by a suspicious bald guy while in the cab.

4) We cut to the ICS, discussing what they're gonna do with their portion of the money.

5) We cut to Hercule as he's being discharged from Westdyke Memorial Hospital, when Mr. Black guides him to Pegorino's Mansion.

[Corndawg93]

4) We cut to the ICS, discussing what they're gonna do with their portion of the money.

 

The 3 lone ICS members were driving around Liberty looking for an ammunation in an Oracle they stole

 

(Adam) I can't wait to spend that money on Maple syrup and Canadian bacon aye

(Phillip) I say old chap, I want to buy tea and crumpets for my nanny

 

Regan in the other hand had other plans, he picks out a burner phone from his pocket and slips it in the little seat entrance to the trunk, he then bails out of car mid drive, tuck and rolls his way to a safe landing and uses his personal phone to call the burner phone, this causes the burner to blow up the oracle with Phillip and Adam inside it

 

(Regan) Sorry guys, I have other plans, now it's a new page so I have plenty of time to get the cash before those wankers respawn, now to track down that bloody wog

 

We leave Regan to his own nonsense to follow Niko, Packie and Dwayne trying to find a way in to the mansion, Niko tries the door and its open

 

(Niko) That felt too easy

(Packie) Well its obviously a trap, just go in

 

They head inside and voices can be heard from within Pegorino's office, one of them they recognise as Johnny's

 

(Niko) The hell

 

The trio pop their heads in and they see Johnny and brother Michael in a mexican stand off with Vincenzo Cilli and Gianni with a knocked out Uncle Vinnie laying over the table, Johnny and Michael were behind the table and the 2 mobsters are infront of the doorway

(Cilli) You asshole, you killed Uncle Vinnie

(Johnny) This wasn't us jackass, he was like this when we got here

(Gianni) What a load a crap, you killed him

 

Just then the 2 mooks are knocked out silly red army style by Niko relieving any tension in the room

 

(Niko) What are you doing here?

(Johnny) Well isn't it obvious, looking for Rocco, found this old f*ck unconscious instead

(Michael) Next thing we know these 2 jerks walk in on us

(Packie) Then who knocked out the old guy then?

(Dwayne) That's sounds a like a plot point that probably won't get answered

(Niko) We can always cut to a flashback

(Packie) I'd rather not

Just then a 3rd party walks in catching the 5 by surprise

 

 

What walked in???

1) Gerry, Derrick, Gordon and Saint Michael, they got bored waiting

2) Dan Silver and Stan Smith for some reason

3) Yeager and Fortuna

4) The Null Group of 5

5) Wohn Jick, a legendary hitman known for murdering his targets in the most unique way's possible

1) Gerry, Derrick, Gordon and Saint Michael, they got bored waiting

Gordon: Hey, guys.

Gerry: Why the long faces?

Packie: Guess it was just an anti-climatic option.

Derrick: You can suck it up and wipe your tears on the money once we get Rocco. Who's the old f*ck?

Niko: We were just thinking about that.

Johnny: He's someone's uncle or whatever.

Derrick: That really narrows it down, doesn't it?

 

Gerry, having fetched a big ol' bucket of water, dumps it all on Uncle Vince to wake him up from his predicament.

 

Gerry: You're welcome.

Vince: Whuh? I told you, bitch, I ain't telling you nothin'! You tryna waterboard me now?

Dwayne: Oh, so he must've been talking with someone he considers a bitch.

Packie: Great detective work, Dwayne.

Niko: Hello? Anyone home in that guido head of yours? What happened here?

 

Vince twitches heavily and comes around to the realization it's a whole 9 men around him, not including the unconscious ones.

 

Vince: Huh? Who the f*ck gave you permission to f*ck around in this here mansion?

Gerry: We ask the questions here, punk.

Niko: Where is Rocco Pelosi?!

Vince: Oh, that's who you want, huh. Tough f*cking luck! That rich f*ck may have set me up for failure by sending me to keep watch here, but I ain't budging!

Dwayne: Ooo, rich f*ck, a clue.

Vince: That's as much as you're gonna get! Calling me a guido too. You all belong to the bottom of a harbor with cement shoes on and-

 

Niko slaps Vince to shut him up.

 

Niko: What rich guy are you in cahoots with? Where's Rocco? What "bitch" was here before us?

Vince: Ho ho! I've seen scarier interrogators in Vinewood movies when they were censored to hell in the old days. What next, you gonna tickle me?

 

Before Niko can answer, there's chaos outside. An unlikely quartet consisting of Tommy, D'anny, Mary and Phil Collins pull up outside the mansion in a Schafter, with more similar mob cars right on their tail, drive-by shooting away. Tommy leads the group right through the front doors to get to better cover.

 

D'anny: I told you we shouldn't be carjacking anyone until we're sure it's safe!

Tommy: For crying out loud, forgive me for not thinking too much about a process that's been in my blood since forever!

Mary: This is a terrible idea. I've only been to, like, one fist fight when this guy Vic needed to pick me up from a party back in Starfish, this is way out of my depth.

D'anny: At least Phil's not been singing for a while.

Tommy: Even he probably knows it's a serious situation- wait, who are you?

 

The Group of 9 and Vice City Group just share a dumbfounded stare at one another, soon interrupted when bullets start flying through seemingly every window.

 

Niko: Oh, f*ck!

Packie: I guess we're in the same boat.

Mary: Damnit, is it you again? The biker from the military base? What a small world.

Johnny: Nice seeing you too.

Mary: Yeah, no, I think you were one of the misogynistic ones.

Gordon: Welcome to the club of the wrongfully accused, biker man.

 

While all that goes on and Niko's group's focus is on defensive fire, Vince takes his chance and leaps through a kitchen window to escape. He sustains some pretty bad wounds from all the shrapnel, but runs off all the same. The Pelosi Family try to wave at him to get him to join them at the driveway, but being in pure survival mode, Vince just sarcastically waves back and climbs over a bunch of backyard fences en route to - well, freedom of sorts.

 

Niko: Oh, f*ck!

Dwayne: You already said that.

Niko: I'm saying it as many times as I need.

Gerry: This is no good. We had a brilliant f*cking shot, and then this Hawaiian shirt and - whatever he's dragging along crash the party.

Tommy: We had a perfect plan ourselves. I could've lost these pricks 50 blocks ago if the physics here weren't this screwed up.

Luis: Do you think the guidos will back off if we present Vincenzo and Gianni here as hostages?

Packie: You try finding a window of opportunity to tell them that.

Dwayne: Haha. I see what you did there.

Packie: What now?

Dwayne: We're shooting through windows, and you make a window pun.

Packie: Thoroughly not intended.

 

***

 

Elsewhere in the city, a relatively more serious duo have made their way to the City Hall. Dakota and Alessa are determined to get all possible intel on Rocco before committing to a move, and Niko's old war buddy right in the mayor's seat is a perfect candidate. Successfully negotiating their way past the receptionist, they knock on the office door and peek in to find-

 

Bernie: Draw four, aaaaaand green!

Bryce: You mean f*cker! You knew it's the one color I don't have!

Yusuf: I got a green skip card right - here!

 

Yusuf slams the card on the table so dramatically, he accidentally bends his wrist. Bernie and Bryce burst out laughing.

 

Dakota: Hello, is this-

Bernie: Oh, hold up, what? I didn't think we'd have visitors.

Bryce: I hereby proclaim that we're playing this purely out of - uhh, what I mean is, we've run out of city issues to handle for today, so - a little recreational activity here and there won't hurt? Am I right, people?

Dakota: Just cut the crap, I'm not here to judge your leadership skills. Or Uno skills, even though that's a lot of cards for one player to carry. Bernie, it's been a long time, but I'm sure we have to have met at some stage.

Bernie: Really? Yes, now I remember! You're that hacker Niko used to chase Bryce's kidnappers with, that - Fortuna or whatev-

Dakota: So you don't. Dakota Carrington? Ring any bells?

Bryce: From ETTVSO?!

Yusuf: Let it be known we are not filming anything offensively terrible in here! None whatsoever! Only in the MeTV building, maybe, but not over here! Although I'd love to challenge that Car Jabowitz bloke one day, see how he feels when I'm the one with the nuts firmly in my grasp...

Bernie: Shut up for once. OK, I think you turned a new leaf some years back, and all that. You here for - Niko maybe?

Dakota: I'm not sure what he's up to nowadays, but why not, I guess?

Bryce: Who's with you, anyway?

Dakota: Alessa.

Bryce: As in?

Dakota: A protege.

Bryce: I assume you're gonna be stingy with information.

Dakota: Maybe.

Bernie: That's going nowhere, Bryce. So if it's not about Niko, then who?

Dakota: Your connections. Or knowledge, I should say. Of the criminals in this city. I'm a bit rusty on that front.

Bernie: That's funny, because I often rely on Niko for news from the underworld.

Dakota: I'm sure you're at least informed on Rocco Pelosi and his $35,000,000 bounty?

Bryce: The WHAT?!

Bernie: Rocco from Rocco & The Made Men?

Dakota: Alright, even if that's news to you, I heard he took over a lot of criminal ventures in this city, and you might have a loc-

Yusuf: Not if I get there first! So long, suckers!

 

Yusuf charges out of the office despite for some reason only having underpants in his legs. From a window, Bernie and Bryce can see him leap off a second floor balcony into his Super Drop Diamond and speed away in search of Rocco.

 

Bryce: That won't end well.

Alessa: Weirdo.

Bernie: Oh, she did say a line.

Bryce: To be fair, we already filled the mute quota for today.

Dakota: Say what?

Bernie: Yeah, some guy was looking for something down in the lobby a few hours ago. Had the same clothes that Niko sometimes puts on, when we hang out in the penthouse for pool. Didn't say a word to anyone, so a guard had to escort him out.

Dakota: A rival assassin maybe?

Bernie: So that's gonna be the problem of the week? My city, overrun by assassins looking for a guido that I'd personally rate 6 out of 10. Jeez!

Bryce: Could be worse. I doubt anyone's questioning your power this time around.

Dakota: If you don't know anything about Rocco, can you at least point us in Niko's direction?

Bernie: I mean, aside from all the safehouses with the yellow parking spots-

 

He's critically (not) interrupted by strange commotion from outside. What is it?

 

1) Yusuf speeding right back to City Hall, with a Dubsta full of angry Avon mercs chasing him.

2) A random protest.

3) Playboy, Manny and Elizabeta have come to see Bernie, and are arguing with a security guard.

4) A burger vendor has exploded.

 

5) Cut to someone else on the prowl for Rocco.

4) A burger vendor has exploded.

 

In what seems like a bizarre design choice in a video game, the commotion outside was a Vender outside exploding but not to worry, seeing how tiniest of bump will make that thing go boom, what caused the explosion was a Hitman who's gun went off premature, anyway back to the conversation

 

(Bernie) What were we talking about again?

(Dekota) Yellow parking spaces

(Bryce) Wouldn't it be easier to just call him

(Bernie) It would be....

(Dekota) Well call him then

(Bernie) Yeah ok

 

They walk over to desk with the phone on it and Bernie tries to call Niko but just then a ninja star comes out of no where slicing the phone line off the hook rendering the phone useless, they turn around to see what threw it, it was a Ninja entering the room trying to kill Bernie for some reason, the Ninja then goes to throw another star but Alessa grabs it and throws it back at the ninja, killing him, Dekota throws her hands up in excitment

 

(Dekota) Oh hell yeah, that's my girl

(Bernie) Oh good, I'm so glad she's a good guy in this draft and not the evil one where she caps Dekota in the knee, kills Bryce and shoots me out of the window

(Alessa) I did what now?

(Bernie) Oh nothing, WHY WAS HE TRYING TO KILL ME

(Bryce) That seems like a story for another day

(Bernie) Now we can't call Niko

(Dekota) What ever, just tell me where he lives

(Bernie) Well he had multiple places in the city, a little crap hole in Bohan, a nice apartment in Middle Park East, a Penthouse in Northwood and a little crappy apartment in Alderney City, I'd try one of the Algonquin safehouses

(Dekota) Well ok then

They leave to check out the 2 apartments in Algonquin and we leave this place to follow the happenings at Nancy Pelosi's warehouse in Port Tudor with Jason in one area and Mona Sax in another in a fire fight with a bunch of goons, we instead follow a 3rd character sneaking in threw the roof looking for where abouts of Rocco's location, the character we follow is Yeager with Fortuna on comms back in the van, Yeager who thought that money would do great things for his Casino he decided to go into business for him, he successfully cuts out of hole in the top window where he jumps down onto a platform below

 

(Yeager) Ok Tuna I'm in

(Fortuna) Nice, what do you see?

(Yeager) Nothing much yet

 

Yeager continues down a hallway to a door with the words Security written on it

 

(Yeager) This is interesting

 

He walks in with no one in sight and walks over to a set of TVs on a wall, he turns one of them on and sees a series of times and dates, so judging by the point in time the contract was set, he looks up the security footage from several days ago where he sees Rocco next to Nancy being confronted by the angry mob, to Yeagers amusement he sees Rocco throw Nancy over and sees why Nancy put up the contract

 

(Yeager) What a coward, serves him right

 

The footage shows Rocco jumping out the window, Yeager picks another camera, that shows Rocco making his way down to the car park where he steals the PMP 600, Yeager zooms in and sees it's a purple coloured car with a number plate saying PE1OSI on the back

 

(Yeager) Got ya asshole

 

Yeager leaves the room and runs into Jason, they both jump back and both point their guns at each other

 

(Yeager) Who are you?

(Jason) I ain't nobody man, just looking for the money that was stolen from me

(Yeager) How much was it?

(Jason) It's not the 35 Mil if that's what you're wondering, mine's about 50K, now can you point me to the security room with the footage

(Yeager) Yeah ok, it's just here, now let's part ways, sir, I'll leave you alone and you leave me alone

(Jason) Yeah yeah yeah

 

They very tensely pass each other and part way, Yeager heads back down to the hallway he came from and sees the rope hanging from the whole in the roof window and makes his way out

 

Who do we cut to next???

 

1) Jason checking the footage for a location for his money

2) The absolute cluster f*ck of crap at Rocco's mansion

3) Dakota and Alessa searching for the right apartment

4) Uncle Vinnie in his escape

5) Regan in his own search for Rocco

 

This story has been phenomenal so far, The Hunt for Rocco Pelosi with probably go down as my favourite story

1)

 

Who the hell was that guy?

 

Jason shrugged off the thought, despite the nice suit he was wearing, he could see that the guy was built like a tank and could smoke him in a straight up fist fight. Jason instead turned his focus to the room ahead, which read "SECURITY" in bold letters. He rushed in with the Glock 17 he had secured from a random Pelosi when the fighting kicked off with that strange Girl in the Red Coat and quickly cleared it before rushing the desk with the mounted monitors.

 

Where the f*ck is Lucia too?

 

Lucia left him in the alley a little while earlier, before the gun fight kicked off between the Girl in the Red Coat and the Pelosi Family. Jason trusted Lucia not to get caught, but even then, she was unarmed.

 

Lucia's resourceful, she's okay.

 

Scanning the TVs on the wall. He knew he didn't have much time before the Bitch in the Red Coat made her inevitable appearance, and he needed to find out where his stolen money was, or atleast see where Lucia disappeared too. His hands tapped at the security system's controls, flipping through the camera feeds history where he saw Rocco's purple PMP 600. He jots down the license plate, and continues flipping through the cameras and stops when he sees Lucia.

 

The footage is right before the Bitch in the Red Coat started her solo attack, he sees Lucia crouching behind some crates, staying out of sight as she said. Suddenly, gun fire erupts just out of frame, and Jason sees Lucia's eyes widen as bullets fly her way.

 

"Oh no.."

 

A stray hits Lucia right in the shoulder, which sends her flying back into the wall. She clutches her wound, and starts stumbling out of frame into another corner of the warehouse, towards the cells where they previously held. Jason grabs his Glock and makes his exit.

 

~ ~ ~

 

Back at the Pegorino-turned-Pelosi Mansion, a bullet whizzes past Niko's exposed head as peeked to see where the Mob Goons were at.

 

"Oh f*ck!"

 

Dwayne popped out the spent magazine from his assault rifle and looked at Niko. "Shut the f*ck up, Niko! You already said that sh*t"

 

As the gun fight raged on, Phil Collins took cover behind one of the pillars and suddenly burst into song. "My Momma said you can't hurry love, no you just have to WAIT!" he belted out, lifting his shotgun and taking out a goon with a well-aimed shot. Mary huddled behind a desk near Phil, her hands covering her ears as the gunfire rang out.

 

Tommy, on the other hand, was running out into the open fearless. He had been in countless gun fights before and was not about to let a few goons take him down. D'anny was backing him up from some cover, taking shots whenever she saw an opening.

 

Gordon, Packie, Gerry and Derrick, meanwhile, went for the flank on the goons, cutting through the backyard and spotting Uncle Vince in the distance, just below the cliff, running for cover. Packie and Gordon decide to chase Uncle Vince and split from Gerry and Derrick, who continue to commit to the flank. Once they were in position, they unloaded on the mobsters, completely wiping them out.

 

As the dust settled, the mansion was left in a state of disarray, with bullet holes and shattered glass everywhere. Dwayne and Niko exited the house and greeted Gerry and Derrick who emerged from the wreckage in front of them.

 

What Next?

1) Niko, Dwayne, Gerry and Derrick split from their group to assist Packie and Gordon who are in a foot chase with Uncle Vince.

2) We cut to Packie and Gordon as they're chasing after Uncle Vince, when suddenly Paul shows up to pick him up in the Blue Sultan.

3) We cut back to Pelosi Warehouse in Port Tudor where Jason is searching for Lucia and money when Mona Sax starts shooting at him, sparking a gun fight between him, the leftover Pelosi Goons and Mona herself.

4) We cut to Yeager and Fortuna as they track down Rocco's vehicle to Uncle Vince's house, abandoned.

5) We cut to Dakota and Alessa as they arrive at the Niko's Middle Park East apartment, where they bump into Roman, Mallorie and Kate after they finished their bowling game.

2) We cut to Packie and Gordon as they're chasing after Uncle Vince, when suddenly Paul shows up to pick him up in the Blue Sultan.

Packie and Gordon are doing their best to keep up with a fleeing Vince, skipping across several gardens in the process. This gets them yelled at by grumpy homeowners, sprayed with a garden hose, and even chased by territorial dogs, but none of that is quite as bad as what awaits them when Vince reaches the next road. A blue Sultan pulls up right in his path, with Vince already cursing his luck and thinking it's a hostile, when the passenger side door swings wide open for him.

 

Paul: Get in, quick!

Packie: PAUL! Don't you even think about helping the enemy, you f*ck!

 

Vince still has his doubts about trusting someone his pursuers know, but it's still a more reasonable option than testing his luck with confirmed assassins. He throws himself in the Sultan, with Paul flipping the bird at Packie when he accelerates away with a loud tire squeal. Gordon, who tried to grab hold of the still open door, gets a face full of tire and exhaust smoke alike.

 

Packie: That f*ck-f*ck-f*cking Judas! Coming across an entire country with the express purpose of f*cking me over hard!

Gordon: To be fair-

Packie: Oh no, you don't, Gordon. If I hear anything even a little bit like "you asked for it", I'll decapitate you on the spot.

Gordon: ...What are we gonna tell Niko now?

Packie: An abridged version of things, I f*cking dunno. An embellished version. Something that doesn't make him go "oh f*ck", at least at first instinct.

Gordon: Fine by me, but you do the talking.

 

***

 

Vince manages to finally shut the door in the northern reaches of Westdyke, with Paul still having kept the speed up in spite of the irritating door ajar chime. Being able to relax for a first time since Rocco's visit, the mobster strikes up a conversation in just the fashion you'd expect from him.

 

Vince: What is all this? What's in it for you?

Paul: Sh*t, I dunno. The thing is, I got this former friend turned bitch who really wants your nephew dead, so I figured I'd make his job harder.

Vince: That's interesting. Too bad reading between the lines suggests you're not very loyal.

Paul: Do you know how hard enough it is to look after myself? Let alone someone else who won't return the favor?

Vince: That attitude won't get you far in the mob world.

Paul: Look, man, I'll stay a loose associate, if you don't mind.

Vince: I believe I set the terms here, not y- WATCH THE ROAD!

 

Paul T-bones a purple convertible that had the green light in an intersection. Vince gets knocked out by the impact - yet again - while Paul is dazed and in excruciating pain. The Asian man in the other car appears to have suffered minimal injuries, as he walks out under his own power and knocks on the driver's side window.

 

Paul: I - I, uh, I'm sorry...

Johnny Gat: Ain't you the sorriest sight I've seen in a long time, indeed.

Paul: I was on an important mission, it was an accident-

Johnny: Important? What a coincidence, so am I. The sad thing is, now neither of us have a car to get them done.

Paul: I - can steal another! I have experience-

Johnny: And take all day doing so? Hold the f*ck on back there.

 

Gat walks up to a Cognoscenti (thankfully not a mob car, for a change) and coldly yanks the driver out.

 

Johnny: Carjacking or homicide, your choice.

Civilian: Aaaah! I moved out of Stilwater to get away from things like this!

Johnny: Tough luck. Looks like Stilwater followed, bitch.

 

While the car's former owner flees in terror, Johnny parks next to the wrecks and opens Paul's driver's side door.

 

Johnny: Do you know why I'm here?

Paul: N-not really. Is it a trick question? One where you'll kill me if I know too much? Because, uhh, please don't.

Johnny: It was a high-profit assassination contract. I thought it might be fun, with the change of scenery and all that. But guess what?

Paul: ...Yes?

Johnny: It's boring as f*ck to dig around solo, without a soul to banter with. So from now on, you're my sidekick.

Paul: Sidekick...?

Johnny: Yes, the thug that follows me around and does what he's told. Who's the passenger?

Paul: Someone named Vince, I'm not totally sure though-

Johnny: He can join too, make it a whole gang of 3. Load him up and we're moving to, uhh, the abandoned casino. Not as fancy as Poseidon Palace, exactly, but it's a nice base of operations to have.

Paul: Hold on, I don't think I'm really in condition to-

 

Johnny flashes his brass knuckles mere centimeters away from Paul's face.

 

Johnny: I don't remember taking no for an answer.

 

Paul, in shock at what his "quest" got him into, drags Vince to the back seat of Johnny's new Cognoscenti at snail's pace. How he's ever going to explain that the guy he's with is the uncle of Johnny's eventual target is beyond him.

 

Time for a cut to Niko & co at Pegorino's mansion. What happens next over there?

 

1) Paige parks a Terrorbyte outside to tell Niko about recent Avon mercenary sightings.

2) Michael Klebitz (not to be confused with St. Michael) phones Johnny Klebitz (not to be confused with Gat) that he's in trouble.

3) Gianni wakes up and makes a run for it.

4) Another strange ninja appears. (Well, it's the first one Niko's group has seen, but you get the point)

5) The Group of 13 accidentally find a never-before-seen secret room.

[Corndawg93]

3) Gianni wakes up and makes a run for it.

 

Waking up from a nice dream he was having didn't warn him of the awful headache he had, Gianni sees Cilli hasn't waken up yet, before he attempts to wake him up he can't help but overhear a conversation between Johnny and Michael just outside the door

 

(Johnny) I think we should split dude, we got enough information

(Michael) Totally agree, plus it's a little too crowded in this mansion

(Johnny) Yeah lets collect the brothers and we'll find this giudo bastard ourselves, cmon lets go

 

They walk off and another conversation is heard just outside the window

 

(Niko) Did you catch him, what happened?

(Gordon) Packie's boyfriend saved him

(Packie) Remind me next time we see Paul to put a bullet in that turds skull

(Dwayne) So much for your deadly Balken knot Ni.....

 

Gianni stops eavesdropping because the information doesnt interest him and checks out the entrance at the front door and see's Mary and Phil are blocking the hallway, so he makes a break for it knocking over Phil causing him to hit his head and start singing folk songs, Gianni then jumps over the retaining wall and down the hill to the road and jacks a Serrano, passing Johnny and Michael on the street as they leave and away he goes, we cut back to the mansion where Phil, continuously singing Cotton Eye Joe, is knocked silly by Tommy, around the corner Niko and co see what the commotion is

 

(Gerry) What's going on back here

(Mary) One of the guido's made a break for the road and knocked over poor Phil

(St Michael) So thats leaves the other mobster then

(Packie) What should we do with him?

(Niko) Leave him, he's no harm to anyone

(Dwayne) Should we team up with these 4 or ditch them

(Tommy) Yeah I get it, I see when we're not wanted

 

Tommy insulted by Dwayne questions leaves and takes Phil and Mary with him, but not D'anny it seems he must have bailed when the shooting ended

 

(Packie) I think you touched a nerve Dwayne

(Dwayne) I was just asking a question

(Derrick) And you pissed him off

(Gerry) Good thing though, too many characters to keep track of

(Gordon) Yep

(St Michael) Most definitely

(Derrick) You can say that again

(Niko) Oh f*ck, I see what the writer did there

(Packie) Quit saying that

(Dwayne) Yeah, it's getting f*cking annoying

(Gerry) What now, we got information that a rich f*cker is helping out Rocco, but what rich f*ck?

(Niko) Lets head back to the penthouse and go over the information we have shall we

 

They all agree and hop back in the van they came in and drive off, during the drive a news bulleten is heard

 

(Jenny Acorn) In our top story today, it seems crime is at an all time high, with Hitmen everywhere on the search for Rocco Pelosi, with a 35 million dollar bounty, we go live on the street with Mike Whitley with the Weasal gang on the search

(Mike) Thanks Jenny, I'm here on the street shaking down known associate of Rocco Pelosi with my fellow Weasels, sir where the hell is your boss

(Pelosi goon) I dont know

(Mike) Well there you have it Jenny, this worthless goon doesn't know where his boss is, I'm Mike Whitley, Weasal News

 

What happens next???

1) The van is T Boned by one of the many hitmen looking for Rocco

2) They accidently run over Mike Whitley

3) They spot Gianni and chase after him, a gnarly super detailed car chase ensues

4) They successfully make it to the Penthouse where they find some some familiar faces up there

 

Or

 

5) We cut to Rocco and Avon in Bleeter headquarters

Just before getting to Algonquin, a Stallion driver with zero regard for traffic rules blasts into the side of the group's van. Already on edge from both Vince and Gianni having given them the slip, Niko steps out, feeling like road raging at the other guy in his black leather jacket and green cargo pants. It's an outfit he believes he's seen before, but can't pinpoint when.

 

Niko: Open your stupid eyes! Did you buy your license?

Claude: ...

Niko: Steal it, even?

Claude: ...

Packie: Hard to tell if that empty stare is a yes or a no, not gonna lie.

Niko: Are you slow or what? How are you going to make up for this absolute traffic f*ck-up?!

Claude: ...

Niko: Creepy son of a bitch.

Claude: ...

 

Niko pulls out his pistol.

 

Niko: Say something, anything, if you want to live, asshole!

 

It's as if things go in slow motion as Claude catches Niko by surprise, disarming him despite the gun being right in his face. He then takes off running to a side alley, with Niko in hot pursuit despite lacking a gun. He gives up the chase pretty quickly, as do Packie and Dwayne who accompany him, as Claude has an unexpected speed advantage on foot, and is out of sight before they know it.

 

Packie: Holy f*cking sh*t, did all of you guys just see that?!

Niko: Thanks for the help, guys!

Dwayne: Honestly, man, we have so much faith in you we don't usually expect sh*t to go down like this.

Gordon: Do you think that was one of the assassins the Weazel report was going on about?

Niko: I'm willing to bet he was.

Derrick: Definitely didn't look like he belonged in this city.

Dwayne: Something tells me it's gonna turn into a real clusterf*ck, the longer it takes us to find Rocco.

Gerry: You sure we'll get any closer by sitting around a planning table?

Niko: I'm sure. Most of them won't know the city as well as we do, so they're running around like headless chickens, like our Stallion guy here.

St. Michael: Dangerous headless chickens! I wouldn't wanna know what a gun duel with that mute creep would be like.

Packie: Johnny and Luis have a pretty good idea of where to go, I'm sure.

Dwayne: Definitely - but losing to them wouldn't hurt as bad as to an outsider.

 

What happens next?

 

1) The Group of 7 get back to the penthouse and meet some familiar faces.

2) They come across Mike Whitley.

3) They unexpectedly meet another assassin.

4) Yusuf crashes into the van just a few blocks later.

 

or

 

5) Cut to the clusterf*ck at Pelosi Warehouse with Jason and Lucia looking for their money and Mona looking for Rocco, simultaneously.

[Corndawg93]

1) The Group of 7 get back to the penthouse and meets some familiar faces.

Having the drive being smooth the rest of the way all bar an annoying traffic jam heading into the projects, probably caused by all the fighting thanks to the numerous hitmen all across the city, they finally make it to the penthouse, they walk in and are greeted by the desk clerk

(Desk Clerk) Good day gentlemen, Mr Niko, you have guests waiting up stairs
(Niko) Did they say who they were?
(Desk Clerk) No Mr Niko
(Packie) This should be interesting, probably another hitman looking for Rocco
(Gerry) Why would they come to Niko's penthouse to look for Rocco?
(Packie) I dunno, just making an assumption

They all get in the elevator and head up, when the door opens they arent surprised they dont recognise whos waiting for them

(Niko) Who's this?
(Dwayne) I dont recognise them, does anyone else
(Gerry) No
(Gordon) Nope
(St Michael) No
(Packie) Not in the slightest, given the option the writer chose shouldn't we know these people
(Derrick) I know them, from my time in Ireland, how ya boys doing?
(Patty) Oim good, how the hell are yah
(Sheamus) Quite the place you got here Derrick
(Derrick) Oh it's not mine, it's Niko's
(Finn) Well whoever owns it its a noice place
(Packie) What is happening here?
(Dwayne) Hold up, the option chosen said that they were "familiar faces"
(Gerry) They are, just to Derrick
(Packie) They dont need to be familiar with every single one of us
(Niko) I'm with Dwayne on this, the option said we'd run into "familiar faces", the people waiting should be familiar to all of us
(Packie) When has a option ever been on point with the exact meaning of it, like why are we debating this 142 pages in
(Niko) Well I only just think...
(Dwayne) Wait wait, hold up, where're gone overboard with this
(Gerry) It has gone overboard
(Patty) What the hell are they talking about Derrick?
(Derrick) Some Meta bullsh*t, don't worry about it
(Gordon) This conversation has been a giant waste of time
(St Michael) Most definitely
(Niko) My brain hurts, Derrick who are your friends?
(Derrick) Well these 3 are the meanest Irish bastards you will ever meet, I called them off screen for a bit of assistance
(Gerry) What kind of assistance?
(Derrick) There really good at hearing things, getting information by nefarious means
(Dwayne) So does that mean we gunna have to split the money 3 more ways
(Derrick) No, I'll just split my take with them
(Dwayne) Oh, that's cool
(Niko) So each of them are gunna go to a different point of the city, check out different spots and report back to us?
(Derrick) Precisely
(Gerry) Interesting, are you gunna go with them or hang with us

Before Derrick can answer something happens out of the blue

What happens???
1) Ninja's raid the penthouse
2) An explosion happens down on the street
3) The elevator door opens again to reveal another guest
4) Yusef crashed his Opressor MK2 into the penthouse by accident
5) Niko's phone rings

 

My brain hurts trying to justify why the 3 Irishmen we're there, stupid meta jokes, comedy comes at a price people lol

1)

 

"Well, I was thinking..." Derrick began, but his words were cut short by the sudden, thudding footsteps that echoed from Niko's patio. Dwayne and Packie spun around to see a group of ninjas, each dressed in sleek black garb and wielding deadly weapons like katanas, kali sticks, and nunchucks.

 

Niko's eyes widened as he watched the masked attackers swarm towards the Group of Ten. "Oh f*ck!" he exclaimed.

 

"Holy sh*t, are those f*cking ninjas?" Packie asked, already knowing the answer.

 

Sheamus, calm as ever, stepped forward with Finn and Pattie at his side. "Aye, lad," he said. "We'll sort these moppets out."

 

One of the ninjas sneered and launched a shuriken at Sheamus with lightning speed. Sheamus ducked to avoid it, but the blade grazed his temple as it flew past. Without missing a beat, Sheamus charged the ninja and tackled him to the ground, raining blows on the intruder's face.

 

Pattie, meanwhile, had his own ninja to deal with. The attacker charged at him with a katana raised high overhead. Pattie quickly scanned his surroundings and spotted an old book lying nearby. He barely dodged the first swing, feeling the air move as the blade narrowly missed his face. He blocked the second swing with the book, which was deeply scored by the razor-sharp katana. Finn then came up from behind the ninja and smacked him over the head with a chair, knocking him to the ground. Pattie picked up the katana and rushed to aid Sheamus, who was still locked in a fierce struggle with his opponent.

 

Niko, Packie, Dwayne, Gerry, Saint Michael, and Gordon followed the lead of Derrick's Irish friends, grabbing whatever objects they could find to use as makeshift weapons. Derrick, meanwhile, took cover in Niko's kitchen.

 

~ ~ ~

 

Jason gripped his Glock 17 tightly as he crept down the dark hallway of the Pelosi Warehouse in Port Tudor. 

 

Gunshots and screams echoed through the warehouse, reverberating down the hallway that Jason walked down, signaling that the B*tch in the Red Coat was decimating Rocco's guys. While the chaos made it easier for Jason to slip past undetected, he knew that eventually the woman killing spree wouldn't last forever.

 

Hurry...

 

Jason descended the metal stairs to the warehouse floor, taking notice that the gunfire suddenly ceased. Cursing under his breath, he darted behind a row of crates at the edge of the room.

 

From his hiding spot, he saw the Mystery Woman standing amidst a field of lifeless bodies, approaching a wounded goon who was crawling away from her, leaving a trail of blood behind him. Rather than finishing him off, she seemed to be playing with him. She caught up to him, kicked him onto his back, and placed a foot on his chest. Jason watched as she whispered something before executing the man with a well-placed shot to the head.

 

BANG!

 

The goon's head flew back as his brains splattered across the concrete, his skull bouncing off the floor. Jason ducked behind the crate, squeezing his eyes shut. He had to find Lucia and get out of the warehouse.

 

Jason followed the line of crates and saw a trail of blood droplets leading to the cells where he and Lucia had escaped from before. His heart raced as he hastened his pace towards the dim and quiet cells. Curse words slipped from his lips as he wished he had a flashlight.

 

"Lucia!" he whispered, "It's me, where are you?"

"Over here, Jason..."

 

Jason's ears perked up at the sound of Lucia's voice. It came from the far corner, where he found her huddled in a cell, holding a duffle bag stuffed with money. He glanced at the money before crouching next to Lucia and cradling her pale face in his hands.

 

"F*ck Luce, this was a mistake..."

 

She weakly grabbed the straps of the duffle bag. "I got the money, Jason..."

 

Jason knew he had to get her out of there.

 

What Next?

1) Mona Sax shows up at the entrance of the cell, her silhouette looming over Jason and Lucia. Seeing the duffle bag of money, she demands that the two hand it over.

2) Jason hears Mona approaching the cells section of the warehouse. He quickly shoulders Lucia and they try to quickly find somewhere to hide.

3) More of Rocco's goons show up to the warehouse, having being called for backup by the now-dead Pelosi goons that littered the warehouse.

4) We cut back to the Penthouse where the Ninjas scatter once the Group of 10 whips out their guns.

5) We cut to Uncle Vince as he's sweating like a pig in the back seat next to Paul as Johnny Gat drives the stolen Cognoscenti erratically, catching the attention of the LCPD.

2) Jason hears Mona approaching the cells section of the warehouse. He quickly shoulders Lucia and they try to quickly find somewhere to hide.

While struggling his way through the warehouse, Jason curses out the layout for being such an absolute maze, never knowing what to expect around the next corner, and having no real nook or cranny to retreat into where they couldn't be easily found or flanked. Lucia does what she can to carry her own weight, but ultimately can't help but slow them down with the gunshot wounds. As Jason narrowly ducks behind some large crate moments before the mystery woman turns the corner to spot them, he knows she already knows they're there, and starts rushing further forward.

 

The correct answer turns out to be an unexpected one. Jason happens to spot a very useful label on a glass window of a small office, flashes a grin, and quietly forces the door open.

 

Lucia (whispering, but firm): What the hell is this, Jason? It's a dead end and we'll be sitting ducks!

Jason: Hehe. Dead end, sure. Perfect for - licking our wounds, though.

Lucia: If this is one of your dumbass stunts again, I swear, when I'm done with you, all you'll be licking on my watch is your grievously injured dick, and certainly not any part of me.

Jason: Just sit tight and keep that blood pressure of yours down. It'll be great.

 

He locks the door from inside with a click. The approaching steps turn into running, and soon reach the outside of the office, where Mona immediately points a pistol at a chilled out Jason.

 

Mona: You! I know you aren't Pelosi's people, but also certainly not bystanders!

Jason: Don't you have any more of them guidos to kill? We're busy taking a really important tactical timeout.

Mona: I can see your duffel bags, you know. Hand them over if you'd like to live.

Jason: Nu-uh! You can just f*ck off, bitch, 'cause this fort was built to hold.

 

He flamboyantly nods in the direction of the label that he can't read from this side, but Mona can, loud and clear. She groans with disappointment.

 

MAX PANE

BULLETPROOF GLASS

 

Mona: So do you think I'll just give up and go home, because you locked yourselves in with the money?

Jason: I do think so, because if you focused on the big picture, you'd know we're just a pair of wronged individuals taking back our rightful score. But also, they're an active threat, and we're not. Just look behind you.

 

Despite her skepticism, Mona peeks over her shoulder just enough to notice a Pelosi goon indeed trying to sneak up on her. She bashes him with the gun, he fights back, and the two of them disappear behind a row of crates as they brawl.

 

Lucia: Was that all that smart either? Allowing her to live like that?

Jason: Would you rather negotiate with the guidos?

Lucia: You saw it yourself, didn't you? She's a total psycho, and a one woman army to boot.

Jason: That makes two of you, right?

Lucia: F*ck you.

 

To avoid unwanted attention from more mobsters, Jason turns off the lights in the little cubicle, turns the local table over on its side and starts inspecting Lucia's injuries more carefully behind it, with just his phone as a light source.

 

We cut from this predicament to...

 

1) Niko, Dwayne and all dem Irishmen at the penthouse.

2) Dakota and Alessa showing up at the Middle Park East safehouse and running into Roman and his family.

3) Johnny (Klebitz) and Luis doing whatever they need to.

4) Johnny Gat driving erratically with Paul and Vince in their stolen car.

5) Bernie and Bryce.

2) Dakota and Alessa showing up at the Middle Park East safehouse and running into Roman and his family.

 

Drive over to the Middle Park East apartment seemed like a lifetime to arrive at, they get out of the cab and head in to the lobby and over to the elevator, on the wall Dekota sees a buzzer with a bunch of numbers on it

 

(Alessa) What number is the apartment?

(Dekota) I don't know

(Alessa) Just press a number, if its wrong just ask the person living there which apartment Niko lives in

(Dekota) Ok good idea

 

Dekota presses 1 on the dial, waits for the buzz..... nothing, she then trys 2 and waits for the buzz to that number.... BZZZZZZ goes off with an Australian accent following it

 

(Aussie) Gday?

(Dekota) Oh, Niko isn't Australian sorry sir

(Aussie) Niko?, the European dude? he doesn't live here anymore

(Dekota) Crap

(Aussie) But his cousin and his family do though

(Dekota) Roman!

(Aussie) Yeah him, he's number 6 on the dial you see in front of you miss

(Dekota) Oh thank you, sir

 

Dakota ends the call and pushes the 6th number and without any hesitation Mallorie answers

 

(Mallorie) Hello, Bellic residents

(Dekota) Yeah hi, is Roman there?, it's Dakota Carrington

(Mellorie) Dakota?, wait, Niko's old girlfriend?

 

Alessa hearing this lets out a little chuckle

 

(Dekota) Ha!, yes THAT Dekota

(Mallorie) Do you have Alessa with you!?!

(Alessa) YES!!!

 

Mallories side lets out a massive scream as she remembers the time she babysat Alessa for a bit several years prior before Cam The Cumputer guy kidnapped her

 

(Mallorie) Come up, please

 

The call ends and Alessa and Dekota head up to level 6, when they arrive the 1st thing that happens is Mallorie hugs the sh*t out of Alessa releasing endorphins in the air making both Alessa and Mallorie feel good

 

(Mallorie) It's good to see you Alessa, I missed you sooooo much

(Roman) Mal whats all the noise... oh hey Dekota

(Dekota) Hey Roman

(Kate) What's going out here, oh hello

 

We leaves this adorable little reunion to follow Luis, at Maisonette having a little chat with Tony

 

(Luis) Tony, you need this bounty money dont you?

(Tony) I dunno Luis, I just wanna focus on the clubs, there's sh*t to do here

(Luis) Cmon boss, don't you want revenge for what Rocco did to us back in 08, cmon, we could use that little time travel device with the stupid 12 hour rule, we could go back the day he took ov....

(Luis) You better check your self Tony, I get you have some bizarre type of PTSD from everything but sometimes you just gotta face those fears

(Tony) Well today is not that day Luis

 

Luis disappointed and annoyed at Tony's hesitation, he decides to recruit Armando and Henrique, so he drives off toward Northwood

 

We leave Luis to find Armando and Henrique and follow someone else

 

Who do we follow???

1) Niko, Dwayne, and the Irish

2) The Leader of the ninjas

3) Johnny and Michael Klebitz rallying the rest of the Lost MC

4) Tommy still bitching about Dwayne's question

We follow Tommy back in his stolen Schafter, with Mary and Phil as passengers since D'anny ran off... somewhere while the narrator wasn't watching.

 

Tommy: Who does that prick even think he is? 'Should we ditch them?' How many cities has he taken over exactly again? Huh?

Mary: I dunno, probably zero. Can you stop complaining though? If you're gonna catch that bounty, I think you should act more like a badass mob boss, not a whiner.

Tommy: Cold hard truth, I guess.

 

He exits the Booth Tunnel on the Algonquin side, having concluded that Alderney was sort of a dead end, with too much competition around as well.

 

Phil: Woke up this mornin', got yourself a gun.

Mary: Say, if this bounty hunting sh*t doesn't work out, why don't we try some - overtime?

Tommy: You talking to me now?

Phil: Mama always said you'd be the Chosen One.

Mary: Who else? That washed up singer gave up his chance already. And you seem like you might know some tricks in bed.

Phil: She said, you're one in a million, you've got to burn to shine...

Tommy: I don't think my wife Mercedes would be too happy with that.

Mary: What she won't know, she won't get upset about.

Phil: But you were born under a bad sign, with a blue moon in your eyes.

Tommy: Still no, but I like your style.

Mary: What about it?

Phil: You woke up this mornin', all the love has gone...

Tommy: Your unethical world view. I'd say you could rake in some green under my wing.

Mary: Let me guess, you'd stick me in Pole Position Club?

Phil: Your Papa never taught you about right and wrong...

Tommy: I do also have this friend Steve Scott who might be interested. I should hit him up when-

 

Tommy's phone distinctively rings. With this being a next gen game and all, he's able to take the call while driving, shockingly enough. It's from his trusty cockney informant and a namesake of Packie's old accomplice, who thankfully has a prefix to his name, making separation more convenient.

 

Kent Paul: Oye, Tommy, mate, a little birdy just told me you were after that mean Pelosi motherf*cker for cash. Now ya didn't hear this from me, but my boy Maccer and I had a wild night at Majestic just lately, and also present up there was all of them old band mates of his, y'know, from Rocco & The Made Men? I dunno if they still keep up, but it'd be a mug's game to not have a chat with them muppets.

Tommy: I'll keep that in mind, thanks Kent.

Kent Paul: It's Paul. I'm from Kent, near London, you prat.

Tommy: Whatever you say, Kent!

 

He does a U-turn that pisses off several cabbies to go check out the Majestic Hotel.

 

***

 

On the very top floor of the same hotel, a trio of would-be hitmen have made themselves at home. D'arcy, D'elroy and Alberto, to be exact.

 

D'elroy: Man, I never thought we could afford to stay here.

D'arcy: OK, so I kinda took a loan. *giggles* It was the only way when that stupid treasure hunt ended the way it did. Anyway, call it a smart investment.

D'elroy: Why? How does this - comfortable lifestyle get us closer to Rocco?

D'arcy: It's not all just sunshine and rainbows - even if I wished it was. *giggles* I mean, it's a great view to the park, and that means a great sniping position. The plan is crystal clear: I find Rocco, chase him there if he doesn't croak immediately from pure fear *giggles*, and you blast him as soon as he's in sight.

D'elroy: Just - like that? Yeah, I'm gonna need an extra gunman in case something goes sour. Where is that f*cker anyway?

 

He locates Alberto in the next room over, talking to the glass eye he still routinely clutches to.

 

Alberto: Have you looked in the cave, Al? *switches to higher pitched voice* No, it's very dark!

D'elroy: What did you say?

Alberto: Whuh- I didn't say nothing!

D'elroy: I just heard you say something.

Alberto: Y-you should get your head looked at then.

D'elroy: How good are you to use a gun again? Sh*t might get heavy before we know it, my sister can be impulsive.

Alberto: 'Course I can! I've been a mercenary for hire for as long as I can remember! It's not my true calling or anything of the sort, but since no one plants quality treasures anywhere anymore...

D'elroy: Right. Is there anything you might know about that Rocco character that we might be able to use to our advantage...?

Alberto: He bears an uncanny resemblance to that centerpiece from Rocco & The Made Men.

D'elroy: Alberto...

Alberto: And now that I think of it, they were kinda mob-themed. Pretty amazing coincidence.

D'elroy: Alberto, they're the same person...

Alberto: For real?! F*ck, what a small world!

 

We leave the D'Sibling group to their antics and cut to...

 

1) Niko & the gang at the penthouse.

2) The Made Men sans Rocco, still partying hard in a Majestic suite despite it being midday.

3) Claude on the prowl.

4) Jason and Lucia's debacle at the Pelosi Warehouse.

5) Johnny and Michael Klebitz rallying the Lost MC.

1) Niko & the gang at the penthouse.

As we make our way back to the Penthouse, the Ninjas have since been chased off and Derrick and the 3 Irishmen have gone off to keep their ears on the ground, in the meantime, Niko, Packie, Dwayne, Gerry, St Michael and Gordon have stayed back at the apartment to go over what they know by looking at the same map from before on the pool table

(Gerry) So this "Rich F*ck", any ideas at who it is?
(Packie) Yusef?
(Niko) Ha! No
(Dwayne) Donald Love?
(Gerry) He was backing that dipsh*t Hercule when he was running rough shot
(Niko) Merryweather?, Don Percival still has a vendetta against us
(Packie) Wow, that sh*t with Bohan getting blown up was so long ago its not funny
(Gordon) Devin Weston?
(Packie) That chump sh*ts his pants everytime he hears Niko's name
(St Michael) Nancy?
(Gerry) Why would the same person who set the bounty be the same person keeping him alive you f*cking inbred dork
(St Michael) F*ck you Gerry
(Niko) Ladies calm down
(Unknown) May we be of help?

Just then walking threw the door to the elevator is a set of familiar faces they all recognise, in walks Dan Silver, Mike Toreno, Agent 14 and Lester

(Niko) Oh hey
(Packie) Why didn't we go to these guy's for help?
(Lester) I did, I gave Niko the location of Rocco's home in Los Santos
(Gerry) So you are a good guy now?
(Lester) Sure am
(Mike) And you dont need the help of 4 drunken Irishmen to find a f*cking guido douche
(Agent 14) That's what we're for
(Gordon) And what do you know?
(Dan) We know threw our contacts that Avon Hertz is helping Rocco and he's not to be messed with
(Mike) Not with the correct tools it is
(Gerry) Avon Hertz?, the jackass who bought Bleeter?
(Niko) What else is this guy known for?
(Dan) Several years ago he tried to use a fancy A.I called Cliffford to use nuclear missles inside Mount Chilliad
(Agent 14) Like we said he's very dangerous
(Dwayne) Man that is a lot of information to take in
(Gordon) Any clue where he is
(Lester) No, but there is a lot of noise going on at the Majestic hotel
(Niko) Nice place that is
(Packie) So we should just check that place out then?

Before anyone can answer that Niko's phone rings with Romans name on the screen

(Niko) It's definitely a place that seems legit

Niko walks out to the patio to answer Romans call

(Niko) Hey Roman what's up?
(Roman) Niko, I have a suprise here for you, come see what it is
(Niko) A suprise?, ok sure, what is it?
(Roman) Wouldn't be a suprise if I told you, just hurry cousin
(Niko) I'm super busy with other stuff at the moment but fine

The call ends
(Niko) I'm off to Romans, he got a surprise for me that I must see apparently, did you's make up a plan?
(Packie) Gunna check out the Majestic Hotel, once you're done with what ever Roman wants meet us there
(Niko) No worries

Niko heads off to his Golden Patriot where he always keeps it and drives off

We leave Niko to follow someone else

Whom???
1) Packie, Gerry, Gordon, St Michael, Dwayne and Agent 14 to check out the Majestic Hotel
2) Claude checking out the toilets in Middle Park in hopes he finds Ray Machowski in there
3) Tommy on his way to the Majestic as well
4) D'anny following his own paper trail, funnly enough, it too brings him to the Majestic

Or

5) We stay with Niko

2) Claude checking out the toilets in Middle Park in hopes he finds Ray Machowski in there

Claude, finding the toilet block of the park strangely nostalgic, wanders around it thinking Ray Machowski might pop out and give him another mission. Perhaps the memories of him departing to Vice City had been erased from his mind? Or he's just looking for some structure in his life, seeing as he's used to taking clear orders rather than being his own boss? Anyway, as he wanders all the way to the farthest stall, ignoring watchful civilians that find his mannerisms creepy, he almost gets a door to the face as out comes a very relieved mobster.

 

Ray: Phil, I told you, you don't need to stand guard right outside, it's- wait, who the f*ck...?

Claude: ...

Ray: Not a talkative type, are you?

Claude: *nods*

 

Ray's trusty Irish friend comes in from around the corner.

 

Phil: Who are you talking to now, Ray?

Claude: *raises eyebrow*

Ray: Some weirdo.

Phil: I think he looks tough. Maybe he's here for a reason.

Ray: To be hired help?

Claude: *shrugs*

Ray: Actually, yeah, why not. Unless it's already clearly established, I'm Ray, and this is Phil. We're - looking for some guy we never thought would be worth this much money, but he sure is.

 

Flashbacks are racing in Claude's mind as he remembers Ray Machowski telling him to go help Phil Cassidy thwart a Cartel attack on his gun store.

 

Phil: Yeah, Rocco Pelosi. Slimy motherf*cker who trusted his aunt a bit too much.

Claude: *nods*

Ray: I know it's a big commitment to go from a 2 way split to 3, but we're actually thoroughly stumped on this one for now. We really need some critical help.

Phil: We could just go help Niko since I'm sure he's got a plan, but man, he didn't even visit me in the hospital while I was in peril.

Ray: Such a rude move.

Phil: So while I don't really hate him, I do want to beat him to the punch and claim the bounty for ourselves. And then offer him a beer out of the goodness of my heart, of course.

Ray: What do you say, kid? Got any leads for us?

Claude: *shrugs*

Phil: Sh*t, he'll figure something out. I can see it in his eyes that he's a criminal mastermind. Let's get to the car.

 

***

 

We cut to Middle Park East, not too far from the toilets. Roman's singing loudly in the shower, prompting Mallorie to raise the TV volume little by little. Since Weazel has nothing new on Rocco (damn useless informants not telling the Weazel Gang anything) the couch discussion has shifted to more ordinary matters.

 

Mallorie: No matter what I try, I can't seem to nail those damn pins. It's like there are magnets all over the gutters.

Dakota: I personally think you're going for too much force at the expense of accuracy. Try to focus all of your mind on the dead center rather than just trying to hit as many pins as you can.

Mallorie: Maybe it's just not the sport for me, that bowling. I should try air hockey next time.

Dakota: Well, it certainly could be seen as more beginner-friendly.

Mallorie: That's assuming I'm even allowed to play. I'm technically a character of the main game, after all.

Dakota: Hey, while we're here, have you ever heard of the Bechdel Test?

Mallorie: I have! Roman told me all about it.

 

What happens next?

 

1) Niko enters the apartment.

2) Niko gets into a random road rage incident right outside the apartment, distracting him at a critical time.

3) Luis enters the Middle Park toilets since he had met with Rocco there before, and bumps into Ray, Phil and Claude.

4) Cut to Packie, Gerry, Gordon, St. Michael, Dwayne and Agent 14 checking out the Majestic.

5) Cut to Agent 47 - for a change.

5) Cut to Agent 47 - for a change.

 

The prospect of a 35 Million dollar bounty was a lot of money, and with every goddamn bounty hunter in the world after Rocco, when one of those hitmen is The Hitman Agent 47, you know you're f*cked, Agent 47 info sent him to Rocco's mansion where he had a run in with Uncle Vinnie by hiding behind a curtain while Vinnie was on the phone, 47 comes out from behind the curtain and grabs him and aims him gun at him

 

(Vinnie) Who the f*ck are you

(47) No one, where is the little black book

(Vinnie) Non ya business I aint saying nothing

 

47 having no time for Vinnie crap knocks the loudmouth out over the desk and searches in the drawer for the little black book his handler was after and finds it no problem sitting on some non important files, while checking the rest of the house a set of voices coming from the entrance is heard and he bails out the back and makes his way to the little hideout he's chosen as a base of operations and he's been there ever since going threw the little black book

 

We leave Agent 47 to follow Yeager and Fortuna in the present time to check out the Mansion Rocco once called home, with the door wide open it was clear people have already ransacked the place

 

(Fortuna) This place has probably been gone a hundred times over, the hell are we gonna find?

(Yeager) Well, I'm sure that's the case but there's always something people missed...

 

As they walk in and see the inside of Rocco's office, they see Cilli laying on the floor not having woken up yet

 

(Yeager) .... Like this guy, is he alive, I dont see any bullet holes unlike the rest of this office

 

Fortuna reaches down for a pulse, this causes Cilli to have a little muscle spasm

 

(Yeager) Oh, got ourselves a live one, lets pick him up and place him in the big chair

 

They drag the unconscious bastard to the big chair behind the table and wheel him out to the living room to get more room to work with, Yeagers heads over the kitchen and fills up a glass with water all the while Fortuna ties him to the chair

 

(Yeager) Ok buddy, wakey wakey

 

The super cold water immediately wakes up Cilli, I guess it was a little.... Cilli..... no, that was funny

(Cilli) AHAHHA, THAT WAS COLD...Hey, why am I tied up

(Yeager) Torture, my favourite pastime

(Fortuna) What's your name?

(Cilli) Like I'm telling you anything

 

Yeager and Fortuna look at each other and without saying a word, Fortuna punches Cilli in the face, knocking out a tooth

 

(Cilli) Ouch!!!, is that your best shot, felt like a baby hit me haha

(Yeager) Looks like we got a smartass on our hands

 

Yeager then reaches into his back pocket and pulls out a pocket knife that has a pair of pliers attached, he then without hesitation grabs Cilli's nose and twists

 

(Cilli) AAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

(Fortuna) Gunna talk, otherwise more of that happens

(Cilli) My name is Vincenzo Cilli, everyone just called me Cilli

(Fortuna) Where is your boss Rocco

(Cilli) Some fancy hotel in Algonquin, I dont know the exact one

(Fortuna) Bullsh*t, Yeager

 

Yeagers grabs the left ear of Cilli and twists

 

(Cilli) AAAHHHHHHHTHEMAJESTIC

(Fortuna) The what?

(Yeager) The Majestic?

(Cilli) Yeah, he's there, some rich bastard who needs Rocco in charge of the Cities underworld put him up there, he's been helping him out for months, giving him tips on people trying to take him out

(Yeager) What rich bastard?

(Cilli) No clue, I swear on my mothers grave I don't know!!!

(Yeager) He's telling the truth

(Fortuna) What's his investment on Rocco, why does he need him in charge

(Cilli) Like I said, no clue, that above my pay grade, that's all I know, I swear!!!!

(Yeager) That's all the information we're getting

(Fortuna) To the Majestic?

(Yeager) To the Majestic

 

As they go to leave Yeager tips the chair Cilli is sitting on over causing Cilli hit his head

 

(Cilli) HEY!, DON'T LEAVE ME HERE!!!!, I'LL KILL YOU!!!!!!

 

Tuna and Yeags get back in the van they came and head off towards Algonquin

 

We cut back to Niko where he hasn't arrived at Roman's aparment yet

 

What taking so long???

1) Dinosaur rampage

2) Patriot broke down

3) He said "F*ck this" and went to the Majestic instead

4) He was run off the road by a bounty hunter

5) He died of a heart attack

2)

 

Niko Bellic navigated the streets of Northern Algonquin in his shiny golden Patriot, the engine purring beneath him as he made his way towards Roman's apartment in Middle Park East. But as he turned onto Columbus Avenue, something seemed off. The Patriot began to sputter and cough, the engine straining as it fought to maintain its speed. Niko gritted his teeth in frustration, one hand white-knuckled on the steering wheel as he tried to will the vehicle to keep moving.

 

Finally, with a loud clunk and a puff of black smoke, the Patriot came to a grinding halt. Niko cursed under his breath as he guided the Patriot to the side of road and popped the hood. Jumping out of the driver's seat, Niko went to inspect the engine, trying to discern the source of the problem. He was so focused on finding the issue that he barely noticed the three figures approaching from behind.

 

It was only when a shadow fell over him that Niko turned to see who it was. And as he caught sight of the familiar faces of Phil Bell and Ray Boccino, his anger and frustration melted away, replaced by a sense of confusion. But it was the third figure, standing silently to the side, that really caught Niko off guard. It was the Mute Asshole who crashed into him earlier and disarmed him.

 

"Niko?" Phil started, a slight grin on his face, "Well isn't this a surprise?"

 

"Phil?" Ray? What are you guys here?" Niko then looked at Claude, who just looked back at him with an expressionless gaze, "And what are you doing here with him?"

 

Phil and Ray looked at each other uncertainly, "Uh, we just met him, Nick" Phil said, gesturing towards the mute man. "We don't even know his name."

"Seems like a stand up guy though" Ray added. 

"You know about the contract on Rocco right? That's why he's here," Phil said, looking at Claude. "Ain't that right, kid?"

 

Claude just nodded, staring at Niko.

 

What Next?

 

1) Niko flies into a blind rage and starts a fight with Claude.

2) Niko lets his animosity towards Claude fade, and they hear the faint pops of gunfire in the distance, then notice some LCPD squad cars race past them, going towards the Majestic Hotel.

3) Claude just wanders off, leaving the group.

4) We cut to D'anny as he catches back up with Tommy, Mary and Phil as they're checking in at the Majestic Hotel lobby.

5) We cut to Fortuna and Yeager as they're taking the window cleaning platform at the back of the Majestic Hotel to the roof.

Niko and Claude stare each other down, feeling as though nothing in the world could distract them.

 

Niko: You know, I really, really f*cking can't stand you.

Claude: ...

Niko: You drive like a blind bitch, you do nothing but stare at people like a serial killer, you think you own the city I doubt you're even from...

Claude: ...

Niko: Then again, you sort of remind me of myself.

Claude: ...

Niko: Especially when I was new here. And now, my suspicions are true that you're looking to off my current most hated enemy.

Claude: ...

Niko: Fine, stick around all you want. But if you even think about betraying us, or f*ck, making me look stupid...

Claude: ...

Niko: ...

Claude: ...

Niko: ...I will go Red Army on you, no holding back, and you won't like it.

Claude: *nods*

 

Niko finds it weird that he'd take the call-out so well, but his next line is interrupted by faint gunfire from one direction, and the sound of approaching LCPD sirens from multiple.

 

Ray: Sh*t, cops! You better not be a narc all along!

Claude: *shakes head*

Phil: I think they're more interested in the shootout, Ray.

 

The pair of mobsters inspect the surroundings with binoculars they happened to be carrying. There's more shooting that they manage to identify as coming from the Majestic Hotel, and several police cars charge right past them at full speed. Some guy walking the street with a freshly bought packet of nuts drops them from shock.

 

Niko: Majestic? That's the same place Packie and Dwayne were headed!

Ray: If the dynamic trio's rolling again, why are you all - separated this time?

Niko: I had to make a little pit stop.

Claude: ...

Niko: With a failed engine.

Claude: ...

Niko: OK, and Roman also wanted me to take a detour and visit his place first. Happy now?!

Phil: If Rocco's at Majestic, what in the world would make you go to Roman's instead?

Niko: He's supposed to have a - sorry for the pun in advance - majestic surprise over there.

Ray: But if someone whacks Rocco right now, in that building-

Niko: No one's confirmed he's there, and we're so early in this plot that the hotel's probably not it.

Claude: ...

Niko: Shut up.

 

What happens next?

 

1) Niko splits up from the Group of 3 to go see Roman's surprise anyway.

2) All 4 go to the Majestic Hotel, sneaking past the cops by using the window cleaning platform.

3) Claude disappears somewhere while the others aren't looking.

4) Cut to the inside of the Majestic, and more specifically, the source of the gunfire.

5) Cut to Jason and Lucia.

[Corndawg93]

4) Cut to the inside of the Majestic, and more specifically, the source of the gunfire.

 

The Majestic, popular hotel amongst rich people and their millions of dollars, also Jewish gangs for some reason, but when multiple parties raid the Hotel in search of one Rocco Pelosi and the 35 Million dollar bounty of his head, it was quite intence and set the Hotels security back 10 years, but back to why we're here, the cause of the shooting and the cops showing up was caused a pissed off customer getting a little too angry at the hotel staff, when he was told he wasn't gunna get the room he wanted, due to The D'Siblings having already booked it, he flew off the handle and went ham on the lobby and massacred the staff there, oh and the guy causing this is Trevor

 

(Trevor) I didn't drive all the way from Blaine County to just be told the room I wanted wasnt available

 

Just then the cops show up and start shooting at Trevor, this causes a lot of sh*t to happen in the span of several minutes

 

What happens next???

1) Each party that is set to raid the Hotel arrive within that 5 minutes window shows up

2) Trevor decides to make a break for the elevator so he can kill the occupants of the room he wanted

3) The Bloody Battle of The Majestic Hotel happens

 

Or

 

4) We cut to Rocco in a totally different place called The Magestik motel in Hove Beach

4) We cut to Rocco in a totally different place called The Magestik motel in Hove Beach

Rocco is fulfilling his end of the bargain for Avon by tracking down Cliffford to the most run-down motel in the city while Avon chills out in a penthouse atop the Bleeter Building. The only things keeping Rocco going are the upcoming takeover of the city that Avon had hinted at between his last on-screen appearance and now, and the fact literally no one is looking for him in the Eastern European part of town. The Sightseer app (which Avon was nice enough to install, since Rocco didn't know how) is picking up a weak signal from this very building, and now he's expected to check in and scour the whole damn thing.

 

Receptionist (named Orangey): How can I help you, sir?

Rocco: I guess I want a room...?

Orangey: No sh*t. The available keys are all on the wall behind me, take your pick.

Rocco: If you don't mind, I'd like to scour- I mean, check out the place first, find out which room - suits me the most, and stuff? I'm real sensitive about the feng shui, you know.

 

The chick shrugs and goes back to reading some erotic novel. Rocco makes sure no one is watching and whips the phone out to play hot 'n cold with the Cliffford signal all around the place. The readings finally start to spike right outside room 69, which appears to be the right one. He listens in through the door and can hear some couple moaning, to his dismay. So not only is it taken, but trying to find the AI in there would be super awkward and sticky. Awesome.

 

***

 

At the more luxurious Majestic Hotel, the cops are swarming the exterior and charging in, but luckily Niko knows another way - thanks to a mission assigned by Ray, of all people. Niko, Ray, Phil and Claude huddle into a window cleaning platform to make their way straight to the top unnoticed. However, when they're only meters away from the roof, the thing stops abruptly, and a face peeks at them from over the railing.

 

D'arcy: Careful! It's windy down there!

Niko: OH F*CK!

D'arcy: Is that all you have to say in the middle of such a touching reunion? *giggles*

Phil: Holy sh*t, it's that arch enemy type of - person - thing!

Niko: Christ, just f*cking - please don't do anything overly violent or - irresponsible. This position couldn't be more precarious.

 

The platform moves up again, and D'arcy extends a hand, greatly stressing out Niko - only to pull him straight up, then getting out of the way of the others.

 

D'arcy: I know, right! Some boy in blue might look up with just the worst timing, and fine the lot of you for exceeding the weight limit! *giggles*

Niko: ...That can't be the only reason you just did that.

D'arcy: OK, D'elroy is also downstairs, and we all know he'd weep uncontrollably for hours if something were to happen to you lot!

Ray: But if you cut the cables or whatever, he would know no better because he hasn't seen us.

D'arcy: FINE! There's something huge going on and I don't have two sh*ts to give about you right now. So go on and pass, but you better take nothing from the fridge!

Niko: Rocco's bounty, right?

D'arcy: Not telling! But I do need that platform intact if I ever wanna skip straight down, boys. Now go, move, or do you need a slap in the ass?!

 

The Group of 4 head to the staircase in a line. Despite Niko's distrust, it's actually Claude who keeps staring at D'arcy no matter what direction he's moving in. It has an agitating effect, as they hear loud and clear when she speaks again.

 

D'arcy: And who do you think you are, street punk? Did no one teach you to keep those eyes off people like me?!

Claude: ...

D'arcy: F*ck right off before I change my mind about all of you!

Phil: Geez, you really have a way with women, pal.

Claude: ...

 

Alberto is showering, so the group only encounters D'elroy down below. Niko nearly literally bumps into him before he sees anyone - that's how occupied he is with the movie "Capolavoro".

 

Niko: Been a long time.

D'elroy: Jesus, I nearly had a heart attack! I knew I could count on you being alive, old buddy!

Niko: I'm surprised you didn't participate in the war against Ochoa, with your vigilantist tendencies.

D'elroy: As much as it pains me to say it, I was preoccupied - but for just the shortest time, I was here, I really was! ...Hang on, if you came from the roof, how the f*ck did you get past D'arcy?

Niko: The power of priorities.

Ray: Ah, so that's what her name was.

Phil: I knew it had a stupid apostrophe in there somewhere, but the whole name just eluded me.

D'elroy: Excuse me? What makes apostrophes stupid?

Phil: Oh, uhh, nothing at all!

Claude: ...

Phil: Except I guess they're just a little pretentious.

D'elroy: Just not when the Irish do it?

Phil: ...

Niko: Banter later, we have to move, there's gunfire somewhere in this place and it may lead us to Rocco.

D'elroy: Yes, I - wish you good luck over there. Don't get arrested, though.

Niko: You're once again not coming?

D'elroy: I really wish I could, but D'arcy has a plan I don't want to deviate from, and if I was caught causing trouble, the hotel might kick me out! I can't have that!

Phil: ...

Ray: ...

Claude: ...

Ray: We allowed to use this suite for a getaway if downstairs is blocked off?

D'elroy: As long as you introduce your strange new friend.

Ray: About that...

Phil: That's - Fido, he can be a bit shy around strangers, but he's good. Alright, Niko, vamos!

D'elroy: Fido is a strange name.

Phil: I know, that's why - we weren't the ones to pick it.

Claude: ...

 

The 4 access the corridors, where gunfire is heard more clearly than ever. Someone in an adjacent room is repeatedly shouting for the shooting to stop while himself blasting techno like his room is a f*cking high-rise version of Maisonette 9. Ray and Phil fall back a little from Niko and Claude to have a little pow-wow just between themselves.

 

Ray: Fido? Seriously?!

Phil: What the hell were you gonna say then? "Oh, this guy never speaks so we know f*ck-all about who he is!" Not suspicious at all!

Ray: But Fido?! You talk like he's a dog!

Phil: It's only an affectionate nickname. For an upstanding warrior of the streets, not some filthy attack dog.

Ray: Your f*ckin' sister was real affectionate last night...

 

What happens next?

 

1) The Group of 4 suddenly encounter Tommy, Mary and Phil around a corner.

2) Same as 1, but it's Yeager and Fortuna.

3) They get into an elevator, but it gets stuck.

4) There's a blackout that causes everyone to get separated.

 

or

 

5) Cut to Rocco breaking into the motel room number 69 in the middle of sexy time.

2) Same as 1, but it's Yeager and Fortuna.

 

Small world the chain story, you'd think we'd meet new characters instead of the current characters we keep running into but no, where am I going with this.... ah yes, as Niko, and Claude round the corner they walk into a set of familiar faces to Niko

 

(Yeager) Well sh*t small world

(Niko) Yeager!.... Rocco?

(Fortuna) Cause we're looking for Rocco, who isn't?

(Claude)...

(Yeager) Who's your friend?

(Ray) He's with us, Niko has his own set of friends he's working with

(Yeager) Dwayne and Packie?

(Niko) And Gerry, Derrick, Gordon and St Michael, Derrick split off with several old friends, probably to get drunk

(Fortuna) If you working with them, why are you here with these guys

(Claude)...

(Niko) Had other business with Roman, but the car broke down and I ran into these guys

(Yeager) This is so confusing

(Phil) You're not the only one confused pal

(Niko) How did you get up here? the cleaning platform was used by us and the lobby was shut down

(Fortuna) The back door threw the kitchen, it had an elevator attached to it for room service purposes

(Yeager) Wasn't pretty either, everyone was dead in there, we got a decent look at the shooter shooting up the place

(Niko) Anyone we know, considering the small ass world we live in

(Yeager) Ha!, yes, it was Trevor Phillips

 

Just then the kitchen elevator dings and opens up next to them, inside are Packie, Dwayne and Gerry carrying Gordon with a gunshot wound to the foot

(Packie) Oh hell yeah, I love reunions

(Niko) Looks like you've seen better days, what happened?

(Phil) The gunfire downstairs?

(Claude)...

(Dwayne) Long story short, snuck in past the police, and as we tried to sneak past the gunfire, some cop saw us and started shooting at us

(Gerry) That caused the guy shooting up the place to turn his attention to us as well, he shot poor Gordon in the foot here and we scurried to the kitchen

(Packie) There we noticed the elevator and made our way up and as far away as possible... oh hey Fortuna... and Yeager

(Fortuna) Hey

(Yeager) Niko said you had St Michael with you?, did he get shot as well?

(Packie) Oh poor St Michael

(Ray) What happened?

(Gerry) How many people are up here?

(Phil) Too many

(Dwayne) Michael fell into a sewer hole

(Gordon) For the love of god, I NEED A DOCTOR!!!!!

(Niko) Yeah ok, take him back to the penthouse to get him looked at

 

As they head back to the penthouse to get Gordon taken care of, the current occupants weren't too thrill with the large group that entered

 

What happens next!!!

1) Gordon dies from his injury

2) Trevor makes his way up to the penthouse

3) D'arcy gets fed up with the overpopulated penthouse and kicks everyone out including D'elroy and Alberto

 

Or

 

4) We cut to Rocco barging into room 69, and shenanigans ensue

5) We cut to Roman's apartment where everyone is getting tired of Niko's tardiness but then the news comes on about the Hotel shooting

Rocco reached into his black leather jacket and retrieved his Beretta, readying it as he stood before Room 69. With a swift kick, he burst into the room, his handgun drawn and aimed at the startled couple on the bed.

 

"Put ya f*ckin' hands up!" he shouted, his voice reverberating in the enclosed room.

 

The couple quickly complied, raising both hands in the air as they looked at Rocco with terror in their eyes.

 

"Oh god, don't shoot us!" the woman screamed.

 

"Shut the f*ck up," Rocco growled. "Who are you people? What are you doing here?"

 

"W-we're nobody!" the man stammered, tripping over his words as he tried to explain their predicament. "Look, I have money. Do you want it?"

 

Rocco shook his head and studied the couple closely. They seemed sincere, but he couldn't take any chances. Rocco reached behind him and slammed the motel door, then gestured with his gun, indicating that they should get up and follow him.

 

"Get up, into the bathroom, both of youse," he said flatly. As the couple disappeared into the bathroom, Rocco closed the door behind them. "Don't you f*cking leave this room, or you're catching a bullet."

 

Exhaling a shaky breath, Rocco surveyed the dingy motel room with a sense of disgust. The peeling wallpaper and stained carpets were a far cry from the lavish accommodations he had become accustomed to during his time ruling over Liberty City. The smell of mildew and cigarettes filled the air, causing Rocco's nose to wrinkle in distaste.

 

Rocco sighed and began to search the room. He checked the closet thoroughly, tossing aside clothes and personal belongings as he looked for any sign of the hard drive. He checked under the bed, behind the curtains, and even inside the air conditioning unit, but found nothing.

 

Finally, he sat down on the bed, out of breath and feeling defeated. But as his eyes wandered over towards the drawers, he had an idea. He got up quickly and started pulling out each drawer, one by one, until he finally stumbled upon the hard drive. It was black with purple accents and looked like a piece of military technology.

 

Rocco grabbed the hard drive and stuffed it into his leather jacket, a sense of relief washing over him as he made his way towards the motel door.

 

~ ~ ~

 

As Arcade hurried down the dim, dingy hallway of the Majestik motel in Hove Beach, she unsheathed her suppressed Five-SeveN handgun from within her jacket, pulling back the slide to chamber a round. "I'm approaching the room, Lester," she whispered into her earpiece. "Seems like someone already beat me here."

 

"What!?" Lester's nasal voice crackled through the earpiece. "You HAVE to get that hard drive, Arcade. We can't have a f*cking rogue AI like Cliffford roaming free!"

 

"I know," Arcade replied, her eyes fixed on the chipped door of Room 69. It was clear that someone had kicked it in. As she leaned closer, she could hear a cacophony of noises coming from inside - dull thuds hitting the carpet, followed by the occasional grunt, then silence for a few seconds before the sound of approaching footsteps.

 

Without hesitation, Arcade paced a few steps back and then kicked the door with everything she had.

 

The door flew open and smacked a mysterious figure in the face, knocking their gun to the ground near the door. The individual stumbled back onto the bed and saw Arcade pushing in with her handgun drawn. He quickly rolled to the side as bullets flew past him.

 

thwack, thwack

 

Arcade's Five SeveN jumped in her hands as she fired off two rounds in quick succession at the intruder, both missing their mark and hitting the bed and the wall behind them. She advanced into the room, keeping her sights set behind the bed, when she heard some voices coming from the bathroom.

 

Distracted by the noise, the intruder grabbed a lamp from the end table and threw it at Arcade. She blocked it with her forearm before the individual tackled her to the ground, sending her handgun skittering across the room. 

 

Using the momentum of the tackle, Arcade pushed the intruder off with her leg, launching him through door and into the hallway upside down, where he landed hard on his head. Dragging herself up onto her feet, she grabbed her Five-SeveN near the gutted drawer, and ran into the hallway where the individual seemingly disappeared.

 

"F*ck!"

 

What Next?

 

1) Arcade runs down the hallway and spots Rocco jumping into his purple PMP 600

2) Arcade looks down and notices that Rocco dropped the hard drive containing Cliffford in his haste.

3) Arcade loses Rocco altogether, leading her to call Lester with the bad news.

4) We cut to D'arcy at the Majestic Hotel as she hears gunshots coming from the hallway, Trevor made his way to the penthouse floor.

5) We cut to Port Tudor, after Jason patched Lucia up as best as he could.

 

[Corndawg93]

Hold up, let me flesh this chapter out a bit more so I'm not completely crapping on Fallcreeks post

 

2) Arcade looks down and notices that Rocco dropped the hard drive containing Cliffford in his haste.

 

(Arcade) He got away, sh*t

 

Arcade thinking she's sh*t out of luck goes to walk off but walk over a lump in the floor, this causes her to check her footing and there she sees the hard drive next to her foot

 

(Arcade) Jackpot!!!!.... Lester, I got it

(Lester) You do, well bring it here, so we can explore how the algorithm works within its system

(Arcade) I dunno, I remember what happened with this back in 2017, this is too dangerous in anybody's hands

(Lester) Arcade, bring it here NOW

 

The "NOW" Lester spits is enough for Arcade to realise Lester and the rest of the IAA intentions are too sketchy 

 

(Arcade) I don't like this

 

She then smashes it with a hammer causing it to explode into a million piece's pissing off Lester

 

(Lester) What the f*ck!!!!!, do you have any idea what you just did

(Arcade) I just stopped a dangerous and evil device from getting into the wrong hands like I said, it's too dangerous

 

Who do we cut to next???

1) Rocco realising he lost the hard drive loses focus on the road, gets T-boned by Johnny Gat, Vinnie and Paul

2) Trevor burning down the rest of the lobby

3) Roman's apartment

4) A new character named Joyce Danson, a hit lady with a really good knack of finding people

5) Chester smoking all the crack he can find

 

There we go

"Your name's Alessa, right?"

 

Kate asked, her auburn hair cascading over her shoulder as she tilted her head inquisitively. Her hazel eyes locked onto Alessa's gray irises, making her feel a little nervous and uncomfortable. Alessa wasn't used to interacting with people, besides Dakota.

 

"Uh..." Alessa hesitated, shifting nervously on the couch they were both sitting on. "Yeah..."

 

Kate nodded, a friendly smile spreading across her face. "I heard my mom say your name when she buzzed you guys up," she said. "I'm Kate. It's nice to meet you."

 

"It's um... It's good to meet you too," Alessa replied, still feeling a bit uneasy.

 

Kate's smile widened and she leaned back on the couch, crossing her legs. "So... If you don't mind me asking, how old are you?"

 

Alessa wondered for a moment, unsure about sharing personal details. "I'm... sixteen".

 

Kate's eyes widened slightly. "Really? You're two years older than me!" She let out a short giggle. "I'm only fourteen."

 

Alessa looked at Kate for a second, then nodded, unsure of what to say. After a few seconds of awkward silence, she felt the tension grow. She never felt that way with Dakota, but it was different with other people.

 

"So..." Kate started, trying to fill the silence. "You aren't from around here?"

 

"No, I... I guess I'm not really from anywhere," Alessa admitted. "Dakota likes to keep us moving."

 

"Dakota... Is she like your mom or something?" 

 

Alessa shrugged. "Something like that. She isn't my 'mom' but she's always been there since I was a kid."

 

"What about your real parents?" Kate inquired.

 

Alessa bit her bottom lip, she hadn't thought about them in ages. "They're... gone. They passed away a long time ago," she said quietly.

 

Kate felt her heart drop, suddenly aware that she had been asking many personal questions. "I'm sorry for-"

 

"It's okay," Alessa said quickly, cutting her off. "I barely knew them, you know."

 

What Next?

1) Kate asks Alessa if she wants to join her to meet up with her friends at the Libertonian.

2) Roman comes up from behind Kate, asking the girls if they want to go bowling, seemingly wanting to avenge his loss from Kate earlier.

3) Mallorie and Dakota rush up to the girls and turn up the volume on the TV where Weazel News is reporting on a shootout happening at the Majestic Hotel, which is surrounded by the LCPD and NOOSE.

4) We cut to Niko at the Majestic Hotel as he hears gunshots coming from the hallway, Trevor made his way to the penthouse floor.

5) We cut to Port Tudor, after Jason patched Lucia up as best as he could.

4) We cut to Niko at the Majestic Hotel as he hears gunshots coming from the hallway, Trevor made his way to the penthouse floor.

Niko and his merry band of f*ck-knows-how-many have huddled in the penthouse occupied by the O'Callahans yet again, finding it to be the safest place to nurse Gordon's wounds. The trouble's not over yet, since gunshots have made their way to the hallways already, and Trevor appears to not be letting up.

 

Niko: This is just f*cked up. Talk about being caught between a rock and a hard place.

Claude: ...

Phil: Thanks, man, we knew we could always trust you to reassure us.

Packie: What hard place? If anything, now's a great time to keep a low profile and live the high life. Look at this sh*t!

 

Packie hands out beers he collected from the fridge all around the group, including the injured Gordon.

 

Niko: No, Packie!

Packie: What now? You're a worse buzzkill than Paul.

Niko: That was the one condition we-

 

Two of the penthouse's occupants stumble across the scene. The fighting noises keep on closing in.

 

D'elroy: Oh, god. Really playing with fire now, Packie. I hope you wrote your will long in advance.

Packie: D'elroy, you old fox! Fancy seeing you here.

Alberto: Is this part of the plan too, D'elroy?

D'elroy: It assuredly ain't. G-guys, you really gotta f*ck off real quiet. If she comes down and sees all this, I-

Gordon: What "she", your booty call? I'm dying back here, I don't give a f*ck!

Niko: About that, we kinda met-

Yeager: Can you f*cking keep it down? Whoever it is, they're right outside-

Dwayne: Stop interrupting people's lines all the time! I can't tell what's-

Fortuna: Wait, don't tell me it's D'ar-

 

The door slams open, with Trevor and Tommy brawling their way inside, followed by Mary, Agent 14 and Phil, who's singing "Hotel California" while every other room occupant near them is practically throwing stuff at their doors and begging for it to stop.

 

Trevor: Ha! Finally! The suite I was willing to pay for, with my own legitimate money!

D'elroy: ...That's what all this rumble was about? Have you heard of the concept of waiting for your turn?

Trevor: I drove all the way from Blaine County! In a Bodhi! No one denies a man his hotel room when he's this committed!

Niko: Oh, hey, I recognize you. Were you coming to LC to tell me something? Like that time you crashed a plane on the street?

Trevor: Look at Mr. Protagonist of Life over here! Thinking everything's about him and him only! Well, you guessed f*cking wrong! All I wanted was to have fun rampaging through this corrupted f*cking city!

Yeager: That's all?

Trevor: Yeah, sure. Why all these questions, small dick?

Packie: Take a chill pill already.

Dwayne: Naw, dog, this sh*t's entertaining.

Trevor: Oh, is it? Is my mental illness but a joke to you sh*t-faced thugs? I bet you're in league with this Hawaii shirt f*cker who refuses to NOT DIE!

Tommy: And I'm starting to think you're in league with Rocco Pelosi.

Trevor: YOU! Weirdo! That glass eye! Give it to me or I'll start a rampage!

Alberto: No way, man. This is the kinda stuff I'll protect to death if I need to.

Agent 14: If you'd kindly step into the MOC I could summon a few blocks away, we could clear everything up once and for-

Packie: Oh, hi, Agent. Was wondering where you went.

Agent 14: The chaos must have separated us.

Trevor: STOP IGNORING ME! THIS ROOM IS MINE! THIS F*CKING CITY IS MINE, AND I'LL KILL ALL OF YOU IN THE NAME OF IMPOTENT RAGE IF YOU DON'T DO AS I SAY!!!

 

***

 

In a significantly more tranquil environment, Roman's apartment to be specific, the kiddos hear a knock on the door, followed by Roman waddling in with something heavy in his hands.

 

Roman: He-hey! Got acquainted yet? Listen, I kinda - sorta - ordered a Big Smoke out of a force of habit despite Mallorie kinda forbidding me, so - if you guys happen to be hungry, I got plenty of good stuff right here!

 

The party of 5 doesn't need to be told twice to gather around a table for the 7-meal special.

 

Mallorie: You're damn right you won't be eating another one of these all on your own.

Dakota: Personally, I could eat a horse right about now.

Roman: Yeah, well, you're the lucky one, not constrained or anything. God, I miss my more gluttonous days.

Mallorie: I have personal experience with a full Big Smoke, so you better take my word for it. It's bad for you.

Kate: Haha, you too?! When?

Mallorie: You - must've been at summer camp or something when it took place. I really shouldn't have said that.

Kate: But what made you do that?!

Mallorie: A bad experience with a fake dietician.

 

***

 

Speaking of, the dietician in question has just been summoned by all the noise being made by Trevor. The group falls extremely quiet as a result.

 

D'arcy: So, you've gone on and defied the one order I gave you! Just couldn't get enough of me, huh? Feeling lustful, feeling like shooting your shot?

Claude: ...

D'arcy: Shame, I thought the creep would've already got taken out. If we aren't clear yet, you in particular aren't getting a piece of me, get it? NOT ONE BIT!

Niko: D'arcy, we didn't mean to disturb your peace like this, but Gordon's injured and-

D'arcy: Oooohhhhh, didn't mean to! Poor Gordon! Well, doesn't it f*cking suck to be you.

D'elroy: I was just guiding them outside, I promise!

Trevor: NOBODY GUIDES ME! AND NO AIRHEADED BITCH TELLS ME WHERE TO GO!

D'arcy: WHY - WON'T - YOU - JUST - SHUT - UP!!!

 

Niko is caught between one of the weirdest and most awkward situations he could ever have imagined. On one side Trevor is raging like his usual self, and on the other is a screeching D'arcy, who stomps the floor between every word while the tone of her yelling goes on to resemble a pre-teen more and more.

 

Trevor: JUMP OFF THE F*CKING ROOF! I DON'T GIVE A F*CK!

D'arcy: AND - WHAT - DID - I - JUST - SAY - ABOUT - TOUCHING - MY - FRIDGE?!

D'elroy: I tried to stop them!

D'arcy: ALL - I - WANT - IS - A - MOMENT'S - PEACE!

D'elroy: You'll get it in just a sec, I swear, but you gotta-

D'arcy: AND - MY - BEAUTY - NAP!

Yeager: Like that'll do you any good...

 

Niko covers Yeager's mouth a second too late. The damage has been done, and a really observant viewer could even see the raging inferno burning deep in D'arcy's eyes. Not that it's a very good idea to look straight at them in a moment like this...

 

A montage occurs where the camera's placed outside of the room, and people fly out, one by one, thrown by a severely pissed off-screen force. That's Niko, Packie, Dwayne, Yeager, Fortuna, Gerry, Gordon, Ray, Phil, Claude, a still screaming Trevor, Tommy, Agent 14, Mary, Phil Collins, and finally D'elroy and Alberto. No mercy even for allies.

 

Ray: Ugh, my f*cking head. Dunno what was worse, the throw, Phil's singing, or the shouting match.

Claude: ...

Yeager: At least someone in here knows not to feed people's splitting headaches even more.

Trevor: I'M STILL NOT DONE!

 

He springs up just as Niko, Claude and Tommy do the same. He's shaking like a vibrator. Yes, that was the best comparison I could come up with.

 

Trevor: I'll go into my rage mode, I'll pick you motherf*ckers off like it's a f*cking turkey shoot, and I'll go to your safehouses and smash up every collector's item you have, and then - then -

Tommy: I'm getting more and more cartoon villain vibes.

Trevor: THE ONE THING I'M NOT IS A CARTOON! I'M A SUPER SERIOUS PERSON WHO PHYSICALLY CANNOT BE A CARTOON!

Claude: ...

Niko: No, I'm thinking Russian oligarch.

Trevor: Wha- NO, I'M F*CKING NOT! BUT TREVOR PHILIPS INDUSTRIES WILL RISE AGAIN AND SQUASH YOU LIKE BUGS!

Niko: Yeah? Then how come you f*cking look like one right about now?

 

Niko, Claude and Tommy join forces to shove Trevor straight through the hallway's window, sending him plummeting god knows how many floors down, and landing on a police car's roof. Weird how it's so often Trevor getting into these elaborate death scenes.

 

Packie: Holy sh*t, you guys don't f*ck around.

Phil: Anyone in their position wouldn't. To threaten their safehouses - I can't imagine anything much worse.

D'elroy: Any suggestions on what the f*ck Alberto and I should do right about now?

Niko: The Made Men remain unaccounted for, do they not?

Fortuna: I suspect so.

Yeager: Can you imagine how they'll react to a group this big?

D'elroy: F*ck it, it's not like D'arcy wants my help anymore. Let's go.

Gerry: Wait up! You forgot about Gordon!

Gordon: i'M fInE!

Yeager: Oh god, he downed an entire bottle already.

Agent 14: I'd better go calm the cops down before they come up here looking for more drama.

Ray: If we pick up Rocco's trail again, how many ways do we gotta split the bounty now?

Claude: ...

Dwayne: Did none of you listen to what 14 said at Northwood? ...Oh wait, it was just a fraction of us present. Anyway, isn't Avon Hertz a bigger worry than some money?

Alberto: Avon who? Do you know, glass eye? *switches to higher pitched voice again* No, but he sounds scary!

Niko: I can already tell this'll be a clusterf*ck.

 

The Group of... god, 15 (following 14's departure) make a move on the Made Men, and life appears to take a turn for the normal again with the Trevor problem dealt with. What happens next?

 

1) Avon's mercenaries stage a blackout and storm the hotel.

2) Gordon suddenly gets much worse, when the pain once again kicks in.

3) Cut to Roman's apartment, where the eating session is interrupted by a news report about the shootout at the Majestic.

4) Cut to Port Tudor, where Jason has patched up Lucia. As best as he could, anyway.

5) Cut to Lester, Dan Silver and Mike Toreno setting up surveillance equipment in the Northwood penthouse (without permission from Niko, of course).

Edited January 1, 2023 by Carbonox
didn't even differentiate the 2 Phils, wtf

[Corndawg93]

5) Cut to Lester, Dan Silver and Mike Toreno setting up surveillance equipment in the Northwood penthouse (without permission from Niko, of course).

The surveillance equipment took over most of the penthouse all bar the TV and bedroom area, the Pool table had super fancy spy sh*t all over the place and the kitchen was filled to the brim with monitors Lester set up to keep watch on most of the city, all this left the floor covered in electrical chords all over the place, while Dan was setting up a CB Radio that may or may not come into play later in the story a loud smashing was heard outside, it was Lester smashing his phone all over the patio in furious anger, both Dan and Mike pop their heads out to check out the kerfuffle

(Lester) AAHHHHH F*CK!!!!
(Dan) Hey, what's up, you good?
(Mike) Is it Arcade, did something happen?
(Lester) Yes it's Arcade, she succeeded in getting the Cliffford device
(Mike) Fantastic, but what's the problem
(Lester) She f*cking destroyed it
(Dan) WHAT!!!!!
(Mike) That bitch, does she have any clue to what she's done
(Dan) We needed that!!!!
(Lester) She kept saying it was too dangerous in the wrong hands, are we the wrong hands?
(Mike) Yes
(Dan) No
(Lester) Rhetorical question idiots
(Mike) Hey!, don't get mad at me because the chick you picked for the job went rogue
(Lester) I PICKED HER?!?!?!, SHE WAS ON THE LIST OF AGENTS YOU GAVE ME!!!!
(Dan) Hey now, no need to get angry, there has to be multiple copies of the Cliffford AI
(Lester) If there is, Avon would have hid it in a super secret location only known to him

We leave the 3 as they calm down to watch the moniter going on in Liberty to follow Rocco in his Purple PMP 600, driving out of Hove Beach and into Dukes he's forced to stop due to traffic light and goes to feel his pocket where the Cliffford device should be but feels nothing, checks the other pocket and also nothing, this causes Rocco to freak out and drive off radically

(Rocco) F*CK F*CK F*CK F*CK!!!!!!, This cant be happening, I had it!!, what's Avon gunna do with me now, FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUU.....

CRASH!!!!!!!, Before Rocco can finish his super loud expletive, he's T-Boned by another car being driven by Pathos, Rocco's PMP 600 was now upside down to which it looked like Roc had seen better days

(Rocco) Ouch!!!!, my leg is broke
(Pathos) Hell yeah boiiiii, Pathos number 1, that money is mine

Pathos gets out of his super tanky Hunley Sport retrofitted with a bull bar on the front and attempts to drag Rocco out of the badly damaged PMP 600

(Pathos) Oh hell yeah, Pathos gunna collect a pay day

Just as he dumps Rocco in the trunk, the loud roar of Motorbike engines is heard and along come the Lost MC with Johnny and Michael on one bike and Terry and Clay on their own bikes and a bike with a special side car being ridden by Jim, who I'm pretty sure is making his Chain Story debut

(Johnny) What do we have here?, got ourself a wannabe collecting the guido
(Pathos) Back off you biker trash, this is Pathos's payday
(Terry) Don't think so

Terry as he says this knocks out Pathos with a baseball bat and opens the trunk in the Huntey Sports with Rocco crying

(Terry) Cmon cry baby
(Rocco)
(Clay) Oh look, he pissed his pants as well, hahahahaha
(Terry) Oof, you're heavier then you look

As Terry dumps Rocco in Jim's side and places the seatbelt on him, he hops back on his own bike as a Serrano comes out of no where and runs over Clay and Terry as well knocking over Johnny and Michael causing them to become stuck between the bike and the Huntley, out comes Gianni from the Serrano

(Gianni) Don't worry Boss I got ya..... where'd he go
Gianni is too late, Jim has driven off already

(Jim) Oh hell no, that money is min.....
Just out of the blue a Cognoscenti runs Jim off the road into another car, the sudden stop causes Jim to fly off the Bike and go flying into a Turismo, the Turismo and poor Jim's now dead carcass crash into a fuel pump causing a giant ass explosion to happen blowing up an entire gas station, we cut back to the Cognoscenti as Johnny Gat gets out to survey the damage

(Johnny G) Haven't seen that big of an explosion since the one in my pants when I read my first Playboy
(Paul) This f*cking city

Vinnie gets out and sees Rocco in the Sidecar with no other injury apart from his dud leg

(Vinnie) Rocco, are you ok?
(Johnny Gat) Does he look ok!
(Paul) His leg is bending the other way

Just then Gianni pulls up in his Surrano and runs over to the wrecked sidecar and is in disbelief at what he sees, the Sidecar, the gas station, everything

What happens next???
1) Johnny G forces the other 3 to place Rocco in the Cognoscenti, this cause Gianni to fight back
2) The Heroic IronManny returns
3) Wade and Mori show up and attempt to steal Rocco, both are still working for Milner
4) Jerry Capowitz, now homeless again, trys to Collect on the bounty

Or

5) We cut to the Majestic 15 up in the penthouse who are... jeez I dunno playing hide and seek for some reason

All I can say.... Poor Jim... woof

The sound of a loud explosion reverberated through Dukes Boulevard as IronManny, the self-proclaimed superhero, unleashed a barrage of rockets from his arm cannon, obliterating Gianni's parked Serrano. However, in his haste and arrogance, IronManny misjudged the power of his weaponry and the explosion and sent him tumbling through the air, barely able to maintain the control of his rocket boots.

 

As he regained his footing, IronManny was met with the sight of a group of strangers consisting of Johnny Gat, who's armed with his signature K6 Krukov he brought from Stilwater, and Paul and Uncle Vince who are using Glock 17s.

 

"Who the f*ck are you!?" Johnny demanded, his voice laced with anger.

 

IronManny chuckled, trying to play off his clumsiness as he hovered in the air.

 

"I'm IRONMANNY man! I'm here to clean these streets up from you f*ckin' leeches!"

 

IronManny hovered from above, slowly approaching the group, readying for a fight. However, Gianni, who had been hiding near the wreck of Jim's crashed bike and sidecar, remained out of sight, biding his time for now.

 

Johnny Gat, Paul and Uncle Vince both took aim at IronManny and opened fire on him, forcing IronManny to take evasive action. Despite his lack of grace, IronManny quickly dodges out of the way and blindly fires a barrage of inaccurate rockets which go flying in different directions, hitting civilian vehicles and buildings.

Johnny Klebitz and his brother Michael came upon the chaotic scene from Munsee Avenue, and stumbled upon Jim's battered Zombie alongside the sidecar where Rocco was supposed to be.

 

The sight of Jim's broken bike fills Johnny with grief and anger. "F*ckin' Jim, rest in peace brother".

 

Michael placed a comforting hand on Johnny shoulder as he mourned the loss of his best friend.

 

"Where the f*ck is Rocco anyway?" Johnny wondered out loud. "He was supposed to be in the sidecar."

 

The brothers scanned the area and they spotted some movement on the other side of the street.

 

Michael's eyes widened, "Holy sh*t, look John - It's Rocco!"

 

Rocco was being shouldered by another guy with slicked back hair, probably another Pelosi goon, and were headed for the Schottler Medical Center.

 

"F*ck Mike, lets go!"

 

What Next?

1) As the Klebitz brother start to cross the street to chase Gianni and Rocco, a rocket comes flying at them, sending them flying towards Johnny Gat's parked Cognoscenti.

2) The Klebitz brothers follow Gianni and Rocco to the Schottler Medical Center when they're suddenly cut off by Regan of the ICS, who was last seen blowing up Phillip and Adam, his compatriots.

3) We cut to Johnny Gat, Paul and Uncle Vince as they're fighting IronManny down the street on Dukes Boulevard.

4) We cut to the Group of 15 at the Majestic Hotel as they're making a move on the Made Men.

5) We cut to Arcade as she approaches the original car crash on Oneida Avenue, consisting of Rocco's flipped over purple PMP 600 and Pathos' Huntley Sport, when she stumbles upon Terry, Clay and Pathos as they're just regaining consciousness.
