GTA 4: Give me Liberty or Give me Death
Chapter one
"...though no official statement has been made by the city's council, they urge people to stay in their homes and stay away from any attackers, and speculation of evacuations have surfaced, which raises the question: is Liberty City under attack?"
"Bullshit." said Niko. He has heard it all before, and by the look on the news reporter's face, she had also witnessed the same report over and over again. This whole damn city is paranoid. Niko thought to himself. The penthouse was deadly quite, with the exception of the distinct traffic and police sirens from the outside. He sluggishly got up from the comfortable sofa and strolled over to the balcony, gazing at the cherry sunset for several minutes, ignoring all ambient sound, until it disappeared from his view, leaving only the blood-orange sky. He reflecting on the past several months; it had been merely a few since Katie had been murdered, which only left him to grieve, and drown his sorrows with alcohol on drunken nights out with Roman, and sometimes Brucie, who seemed to be living life to the full - unlike Niko. Although, he and Roman had seen little of each other recently, obviously – he had married the woman of his dreams, and now they were expecting, a good as excuse as any. Packie hadn't been such a good sport either. It had been weeks since their last ordeal, which consisted of a drunk conversation - in the backseat of a police car. After that, he hadn't seen or heard from any of the McRearys. Probably grieving over Katie's death, Niko suspected. He had killed many, but had spared others. He realised that he had to rectify his mistakes, and essentially, sort out his life. He hadn't had any contact with his mother recently, that should've been the first thing on his agenda. He released a deep sigh.
Better go pay the rent. He thought, making his way to the elevator.
