I had just arrived in Los Santos from Liberty City. I had gotten involved with a rough crowd back home and was just able to escape. I had heard from an old friend who had gotten out a while before me that Los Santos was a place where you could leave your past behind and start over fresh. My friend had gone from running with the same sordid crowd as me to now, as of the last time I heard from him almost a year ago, being an upstanding officer with the San Andreas State Police.

I was walking along the road from the airport trying to get into town. As I reached a busy intersection I looked both ways. When I saw that I had a walk light I began to proceed across the road. What I didn't anticipate was that a local wouldn't be paying attention and would blow through the red light at full speed. I was hit in the crosswalk and was thrown across the road and landed on the curb.

As I laid there unable to get up on my own an onlooker dialed the police. Within a couple of minutes I heard sirens. As they drew closer I couldn't help but hope to see the familiar face that drew me to come out here. I heard a car come to a stop nearby and heard the voice that I had hoped to hear. "Are you okay ma'am? Can you tell me what happened?" Legs asked as he leaned over me and proceeded to check my vitals.

I opened my eyes and smiled at him weakly. "I think I'm okay for the most part Legs. I am fairly certain I have a broken leg or foot and a few broken ribs. But honestly I've been through so much worse." I said with a slight chuckle and a wince. He seemed shocked when I called him by his name. He blinked a few times slowly as he studied my face. Soon a look of recognition crossed his handsome face. He knew exactly who I was.

"Let's get you to Pillbox Medical and we can talk down there." He said as he stabilized my leg and gingerly helped me into his cruiser. I settled into the seat and smiled at him. He looked back at me in the mirror as he quickly drove. "I knew it would only be a matter of time before they found me here." He said softly.

I looked at him confused. "You told me you were here. I escaped from there just like you did. They started to get me involved with some extremely risky things. I had to get out before they had me do something that would cost me my life." I said as I tried not to take too deep of breaths. Soon we reached the hospital and he gently picked me up out of his backseat and carried me inside. He placed me on a gurney and they wheeled me in the back to set my leg and make sure there wasn't too much internal damage especially from the broken ribs.

Once they made sure everything was stabilized they wheeled me back out to recovery where Officer Legs Macready was waiting for me. I gently sat up and looked at him. Once we were alone I realized that now was my chance to ask him the questions that had been eating at me for a year. "Why did you stop writing to me?" I asked softly. "You were the only person I met while in that group who really seemed to care about me." He slowly began to walk towards me. Guilt was written all over his face.

"I was afraid they would turn you against me. I thought that they would try to find me through you. You have to remember that he shot me in the head." Legs said as he pulled a chair up beside my hospital bed. He sank down in the chair and looked at me. "I did it to help save both of our lives." He tried to explain.

I shook my head and looked into his eyes. "If you were really trying to save both of our lives you would have taken me with you when you first left Liberty City." I said somewhat bitterly. I saw Legs wince a little at my harshness. I sighed softly and ran a hand through my hair. "I'm sorry. I know you needed out. I just thought that when you left that you'd take me with you." I said softly.

Legs reached over and took my hand in his. "Trust me I wanted to take you. But they had eyes on you so they could try to find me. I knew the only way to not have them watching you was to leave. I knew when they hadn't seen me for a few weeks that they would give up and leave you alone. Trust me if I had any idea that they were going to get as bad as they did I would have easily taken you with me. I would have taken you no matter what they consequences would have been." He said as he squeezed my hand gently.

I closed my eyes and leaned back against the bed. "I know. Trust me I do. Um, I don't know anyone else out here. Can you please stay here with me? I really don't want to be here alone." I asked softly.

Legs thought about it for a moment. Finally he nodded. "Let me go return my cruiser and change clothes. Then I can go off duty and once I have all of that done I will come straight back here. I promise." He said as he went to stand up. I nodded a bit and smiled. With that he rushed out the door.
