The only answer that made sense was yes.

Three weeks had passed since his arrival and already, Niko was already getting used to what could be his new life, after his recent discovery...

"WHAT?!"
Niko couldn't believe his eyes. It was 2014 but last he remembered it had been 2006!

He was 8 years in the future.

Now his mind flooded with thoughts. What happened to roman and mallorie? How was their child? How was little Jacob? Were any of them even alive? He looked on the tourist page for liberty city and found a few answers in an old liberty tree article.

Known mass criminal and killer Niko Bellic had been reported missing. The middle aged man was found to have disappeared on Saturday by his cousin, Roman Bellic. Niko had been a soldier in the 1991-2001 Yugoslavia wars before going to Europe where he was arrested and jailed for 2 years for smuggling illegal weapons across the Ukraine-Poland boarder. Upon his release it is suspected that he was involved in a boat sinking in the artic, again smuggling weapons. For unknown reasons, after the crash he left the criminal underworld and joined the merchant navy, presumably to escape the previous life he had lived. After a while, he disembarked from the ship he served on, the platypus, when it docked at the hove beach port in liberty city. Roman and his wife have moved into Niko's old house that previously belonged to another known criminal by the name of playboy X, also said to have been killed by Niko. In other crime related news the funeral for bank robber Michael townley has taken place in the town of Ludendorff, north Yankton, just 5 miles from the farm he was shot at. Another associate, Bradley snider has been given a life sentence for multiple murders as well as other crimes. Third associate known only as 'T' is suspected to still be at large...

Michael townley? North Yankton? Niko made a mental note that Trevor had mentioned running illegal freight across the boarder in north Yankton and had a tattoo on his arm saying 'R.I.P Michael'. Maybe Trevor was the 'T' the article mentioned. At the same time, he guessed that Roman had been given the two million dollars in his bank and had probably either extended the penthouse or moved somewhere else. Then something else made him happy. He didn't read it but the headline of a more recent article told him all he needed to know.

Roman Bellic's cabs, the best in LC?

Niko made his decision then. He went outside and got inside his recently acquired Imponte Phoenix, then drove quickly to Makenzie field. Recently, Niko had been given a task by Trevor to go to Los Santos airport and steal a Velum jet. Now he needed it. But he wasn't going yet. He was planning on it but just as he approached the plane, Trevor and Ron arrived in the Bodhi.

"well hello there, come on, I need your help."

"Attention unidentified light aircraft, identify yourself and state your intent!"

Trevor drew the rusty yellow crop duster closer to the rear cargo door. He replied through the radio, heavily enjoying himself "this it captain T in a 1979 crop duster, just enjoying the beautiful San Andreas weather!"

Again, the pilot of the cargo jet yelled through the radio. "divert your course or we will shoot you down!"

"Really? shoot me down? I be you really want that huh?" Trevor replied, wanting them to open the door and attack him.

But what happened next took him by surprise.

When the door opened, a large anti-air rocket turret was targeted at him. Quickly he slowed the duster down and widened the distance between him and the plane but sure enough, merryweather launched the rockets. All six of them. But now it was the soldier's turn to be surprised. What they didn't detect was the heavily modified stealth buzzard attack helicopter fly up to them 10 minutes earlier and, using strong magnetic clamps, land on the underside of the fuselage between the landing wheels hatches. Niko had decided that he hated being in an upside down helicopter stuck to a jet but hopefully this wouldn't happen too often. He also decided that Trevor was completely nuts. Niko had disengaged the clamps when the loading door had opened, meaning he had fallen a bit behind but had caught up and now was behind Trevor's duster.

It was time to unleash the cavalry.

The moment the missiles launched, Niko activated the twin Gatling guns, shooting them down. Trevor lowered his altitude to give Niko a clear shot and at once, the guns were off again, killing most of the soldiers inside. Now came another addition to the chopper. Niko flipped a small switch and two small jet engines on the top of the chopper powered up. Then, he turned off the rotor blades and made them all move to point backwards. Now came the tricky bit. The engines were turned up to full speed and moved closer to the plane. Slowly, Niko flew the chopper into the cargo bay until he was just above the soldiers, then turned off the engines. The movement of the jet would have left him behind but as Niko expected, the large crate of weapons stopped him and he landed with a hard bump in the plane. And he could not believe he just did that.

He was quickly knocked out of his trance by the crash of Trevor crashing into the back of the plane and jumping out of the duster before it fell out of the back of the jet. Niko climbed the ladder, shooting the previous pilot while Trevor took his seat at the controls. Instantly, he turned to Niko.

"There are two fucking jets! Fight them off Nicky!"

Niko quickly went down into the bay and entered the buzzard again. "I cannot believe I'm doing this shit" he said as he disengaged the magnetic clamps and slid backwards, out of the plane. The moment he was outside the plane, he powered up the rotors and continued after the plane. he saw his targets. Two P996 lazers led by a Hydra. The Lazers fired missiles, so did Niko. Six rockets left the buzzard. Three went towards the missiles and three were taken out, leaving only one of the Lazer missiles which was shot down by the Gatling guns. The other three were each targeted at the engine units of the jets. All three missiles hit their targets, instantly destroying the two P996 jets but the much more armoured Hydra remained flying. It wasn't going to last though, and it's pilot knew it. So it was then that with the last of it's engine life, the Hydra increased speed...

and rammed into the cargo plane...

"Trevor? TREVOR?!"
