Three's A Crowd

Hey guys, I've decided to update today because I might not have much time this week. By the way, I can't edit my profile so I'm sorry for the trouble.

Anyways, On with chapter 4!

Normal POV

Niko was relaxing on the couch, watching a show called The Men's Room. However, Niko's relaxation was abruptly ended when a text beeped on his phone. Niko read it to see that it was Roman, and the Loan sharks had him cornered in his office.

After reading this, Niko got up immediately and ran out of the apartment, sprinting towards the depot.

Niko's POV

Damn Albanian bastards! Thinking they can harm my cousin and get away Scot-free? Not if I have anything to do with it. These snakes'll be wishing to die after I'm finished with them...

Normal POV

Roman was cornered by the two loan sharks, one armed with a knife. Roman tried to reason with the knife carrier: "Come on Dardan. What's your problem?" Dardan stared at him, with an intimidating frown: "I don't have a problem, YOU DO!" He snarled.

The other Loan Shark (Bledar); threw Roman's computer to the ground and growled, Roman gasped and told them in shock: "Don't be a dick, man!" Bledar then jumped over the desk and choked Roman in a vice-like grip while Dardan pointed his knife at Roman's neck. "Hey come on-ack! Ack!" was all Roman could say before Bledar started choking .

Dardan smirked at this and asked Roman aggressively: "Where's your Russian friend now, eh?" Roman choked more violently as Bledar increased his grip on his neck. "He is not my friend... he's my loan shark..." Roman spluttered.

Niko had seen enough and burst in, saying firmly: "Stop this." Dardan looked at Niko and asked him: "Who are you and why should I give a shit?" Niko then became more angry: "Get out of here, NOW." he snarled at the two. Roman looked at Niko in shock and rasped out: "Niko..." Niko responded: "Cousin, remember what I say."

Niko then punched Bledar in the face, breaking his nose and forcing him to let go of Roman. Dardan then approached Niko with the knife in his hands, he moved in, only to be punched in the gut. Dardan doubled over and Niko grabbed the arm with the knife, and snapped it.

Dardan dropped the knife and fell to the ground, yelling in agony. "Help me! Help me!" He cried to Bledar, who was trying to stop the bleeding of his nose. Niko picked up the knife and threatened both loan sharks and warned with hatred in his voice: "Get out of here now! And if you come back, I'll kill you! You understand?" The loan sharks nodded and ran out the depot and back into their car.

Roman came to the door and shouted at them: "Hey! You forgot this! You Albanian pricks!" brandishing Dardan's knife, which he then gave to Niko.

Roman's phone rang, which he answered: "Hey, beautiful! Huh? Yeah... great. Uh... listen, I'm having a bit of a problem at the office... Umm, I can't do it - Niko can do it..." Niko glared at Roman when he said that last part. "Huh? Do what? Well why would you want me then? Well screw you, then. [to Niko] Great girl... Can you do me a favor? Mallorie needs a lift. Can you go pick her up at the Hove Beach subway station?" Niko just nodded.

"Take the cab. She's got a friend with her. Maybe someone you can date!" Roman said to Niko, teasing him. Niko blushed a bit and shouted: "Fuck you!" and went out the office. Roman then saw the mess and started grimacing: "Oh man, look at this crap. My computer and everything!"

Niko got in the car and turned the radio on to Radio Broker: which was playing Vagabond by The Greenskeepers. Niko liked this sort of music so he kept it on while driving. A few minutes later, he arrived at the station to see Mallorie and a purple Tsutarja which was wearing a black shirt. They got into the car and Niko said to them: "Get in, ladies." after they got in Mallorie said to Niko: "Hey Niko, thanks for coming. I should have known Roman would find some excuse not to turn up." She then pointed to the purple Tsutarja: "This is Michelle." she introduced.

Michelle smiled at Niko and said: "Hi Niko, you look a nice guy." Niko slightly blushed at that comment but started the car. "My place is on Rotterdam hill, on Mohawk Avenue." Michelle told Niko, who put it onto the satNAV. "So Niko, how are you finding Liberty City?" Mallorie asked. "Not what I expected." was Niko's reply, Mallorie suddenly had an idea.

"Niko, you know what? You need someone to show you a good time" She then turned to Michelle, "Michelle, how about you?" This made both Niko and Mallorie blush beet red. "Mallorie, stop it" Michelle said, flattered. Mallorie kept explaining why: "Come on guys, you're both single, you're both young adults. Take her number, Niko." Niko did not reply but thought deeply.

As Niko pulled in, Michelle told him: "Hey, I'd like to see you again, Niko. You look like that kind of guy I want to get to know." Mallorie told him though: "You look like you just jumped off the boat, Niko. Handsome man like you should get some new threads." Niko looked at his jacket and agreed, "maybe I SHOULD get some new clothes" he thought. "He looks just fine the way he is." Michelle argued. "Michelle, maybe I should get some new clothes." Niko told her. "It's your choice, Niko. I'll see you soon." Michelle told Niko and got out of the car with Mallorie.

Niko drove to the Russian Clothes Store that Roman kept going to, he went inside to be greeted by a Russian purple Gardevoir, roughly Niko's age. Niko looked around and spotted a black and red streak jacket. He tried it on and decided he was going to buy it. He also spotted some black track pants and matching Adidas trainers with three stripes on the sides. He tried these on and bought them. He also bought some boxer shorts, since he had only one pair (and he was wearing them) and left the store, wearing his new clothes. He put his old ones in the passenger seat and just reversed the car back to the parking spot, since the store was only three buildings away from the apartment. Niko got out the car, taking his old clothes with him into the apartment room, after putting the stuff away, he got out a can of eCola and watched the news. "It's getting dark so I might as well stay in." Niko said to himself and relaxed.

Thats the end of Chapter 4! Please review so I can see what people think! Thanks.
