"You know the deal we had, Redford." The thug said. "Yeah, yeah. You'll have your weed by Saturday." Drew Redford, father of two daughters said, thumbing through his pockets.
"Good." The thug said, seeming eerily suspicious, "You're dismissed." The thug said, taking something out of his pocket as Drew noticed the movement, pulled his gun, but swiftly was knocked out by another thug. AT this moment, Drew became aware he was being played, reaching for his gun once more, but the second thug stepped on his fingers and retrieved the gun, pointing it at Drew's head, firing one single shot.
22 YEARS LATER
"Ugh...just gotta get home, then I can finally shower and get out of these clothes." Valerie said, pulling her cropped blue bomber jacket over her slightly shorter-than-supposed-to-be T-shirt, then picking up her car keys, and heading outside to where a blue, 2-door 2006 Karin Sultan RS waited outside. My mom knew how much I wanted one of these when I just got my license, and at my 11th grade prom, she bought me one, Valerie thought about her reliable Sultan from years ago. She got into her car, plugging her iFruit phone in. Shortly after, it buzzed, and the Sultan's aftermarket hands-free-system answered the call. "Miha, listen to me. The thugs that killed your dad...well, they're coming after us next to finish the job. Don't worry about me, Valerie. Just get out of here. I've already paid for your move into Los Santos. Liberty City just isn't safe, anymore. Save yourself!" Mom shouted. "No, Mom. I'm coming back for y-" Valerie replied, tears flowing out of her eyes. "No! Go! I love you, miha. Go on. Let my legacy live on in you." Mom said, then the line cut off. "NO! OH GOD WHY?!" Valerie panicked, slamming the steering wheel of her Sultan as she sped off toward the airport, leaving her mother behind.
A MONTH LATER...
"Damn, I went from living in a decent-sized house, to living in a penthouse!" Valerie arrived at the Eclipse Towers penthouse suite, complete with 5G WiFi, and a 60 inch 4K TV. The hell?, Valerie thought, How'd my clothes get here before me? Valerie had arranged a date with one of her new Lifeinvader friends, and sat down, playing a game on her phone, waiting. Shortly after, the door buzzed. "Oh!" Valerie said, shooting up from the sofa toward the door. "Hey, I'm Veronica." The girl said. "Oh, uh...hi. Didn't think you'd be here so early." Valerie stuttered, but recovered in the end. "Too early?" Veronica asked. "Naaaah...I mean, we could go out and have a day on the town, see where things go," Valerie suggested. "I like that idea. We can take my Ubermacht, it's parked outside." Veronica said. "Cool," Valerie agreed, and the pair headed outside to Veronica's sleek Ubermacht Zion coupe.
