Things went well for the group after that, with Adam's empire destroyed the crew got their cut of the money got evenly divided among Mae, Linda, Terry, and Heather giving each crew member over two hundred and fifty million dollars. Heather kept working in her gym, using the money to give homes to homeless veterans. Linda opened a chain of Cab companies all across Florida. Terry opened a chain of garages and a race track in Vice City, all the while maintaining his status in The Lost giving them a large cut of the money to expand their influence. He and Crystal had moved in together inside the apartment of his garage, he still did mechanic work as a hobby.. Mae bought The Hog House and still remained as a dancer, she was the main attraction there. Tanner moved up in The Lost, he was promoted to Vice President, he and Ace were still like father and son. Mae had gotten pregnant with Tanner's baby, he moved in with her and they gave birth to their son Tanner Franklin Brooks. And as for Trevor, he got his empire back taking over all of Adam's operations, he didn't go all flashy and try to go into politics like Adam did, he stayed true to his roots keeping Mae and her friends at his side his true friends.
Tanner woke up beside his beautiful girlfriend, she was still asleep. He leaned over and kissed her forehead, he then stood up and stretched. He walked into the bathroom and looked at himself in the mirror, he walked to the toilet and peed. When he got done he walked out of the bathroom, he walked through the bedroom and out the door. He walked through the hallway and into hos infant son's room, Tanner Franklin was just waking up. The baby started fussing and Tanner picked him up, Tanner Franklin happily coo'd looking up at his daddy. Mae walked in the room and smiled at the sight of her boyfriend holding her son, she walked over to him and he gave her a kiss. He handed her the baby and walked out of the bedroom, he walked back into his and Mae's room and got dressed. He walked downstairs to see Mae sitting on the couch feeding the baby, he walked over to her and kissed her on the head. She looked up at him "Are you gone?" She asked him. Tanner nodded and kissed his son on the head "Me, Ace, and Terry are gonna go out riding." He replied. Mae smiled and looked at him "Be careful." She said. Tanner smiled back "For sure babe." He walked out the door and mounted his bike.
Tanner rode down the streets of Vice City, the day was beautiful. The sun shined down on Tanner, he smiled as he rode through Downtown to the clubhouse. He parked his bike in front of The Lost MC clubhouse, he put down his kickstand and got off the bike. He walked to the door and walked in, the scenery was it's usual rough and tough atmosphere. His brothers seen him walked in and they all started greeting him "Hey Angel" and "What's up VP." Tanner walked through the bar and back to Ace's office, he opened the door to find Ace and Trevor smoking a bowl of meth. T.K. and Crystal sat on the couch making out, Crystal sat in T.K's lap. Tanner sat down beside him, Terry looked at Tanner "Hey man how's the woman and kid?" He asked him. Tanner laughed and looked at him "They're doing fine brother." He replied. Ace passed the pipe to Trevor and stood up, he looked at Terry and Tanner "You boys ready tk ride?" He asked them. They stood up "Hell yeah let's do this." Tanner replied. They followed Ace out of the office and out of the bar, they mounted their bikes and rode off. They rode through Downtown Vice City, they got onto the freeway. They rode the freeway out of Vice City and through the countryside, they pulled off into Swamp Town and checked out the scenery. They stopped their bikes at a bar and got off, they walked in the bar and sat down. A waitress walked up and took their orders, they all wanted a beer. She wrote down their orders and walked away, three minutes later she had their beers. They grabbed their beers and raised them in the air "To The Lost!" Ace said. "To The Lost." Tanner and Terry replied. They clanged their bottles together and took a drink, Tanner lit a cigarette and looked around, Terry was feeling peaceful knowing his father and Trisha can rest in peace.
