FLASHBACK:
Dash is seen with Packie outside that apartment Packie is using. He informs her Gerry called, and Maureen McCreary passed away from natural causes. Packie surprisingly open and calm about it.
"You seem surprisingly calm about it." Dash admitted.
"I kinda felt that it would've happened by now, she's not as young as she used to be." Packie responded.
"Ah, I see. But still.." Dash said, suddenly hugging him. Packie returns it.
Suddenly it gets interrupted when Trevor drives over in his Bodhi, the Korn song is heard again. Trevor basically demands Dash and Packie help him with a heist, the others are busy and Dash can fly a helicopter. But it's revealed Niko is brought. And he tells Trevor that he can also fly, and that Dash isn't really in the condition as her pregnancy is stronger.
"Whatever, suppose it doesn't matter, just get in the truck." Trevor said, getting into the driver's seat. Niko hugs Dash and follows Packie. Dash herself decides to head back into the apartment.
Trevor drives the duo all the way to Shady Shores to his stolen military helicopter. Which Niko points out as being such despite Trevor spray painting TP Inc all over it.
Trevor doesn't deny it, but doesn't exactly answer it either.
Niko flies them to the sea, dropping Trevor who was in the submarine. Trevor finds the mysterious superweapon and brings it back up.
But on the way back, a bunch of Merryweather choppers attack them. I kinda like the angry voices you hear in this version, can't hear what they say, but it's certainly intimidating.
Packie finds a MG in back and shoots them all down.
Once returning Lester is already there, and warns them they need to return it, so they do. Much to Trevor's clear anger and annoyance, that all that work was for nothing.
Several days later, Dave and Norton force Michael and Seras to do the Blitz Play heist. They bring along Franklin and Trevor.
As they are getting ready, turns out Seras's police partner, Roland, wants to join. Michael allows it. More the merrier.
Michael drives the stolen garbage truck to block the road. And Franklin smashes a tow truck into the Union Depository trucks. And then Fuses C4 to blow the backs. An obvious nod to the film HEAT.
When the cops arrive Roland and Seras arrive to help. As Trevor snips from above. The battle is very much one sided as everyone (except maybe Roland) are basically one person armies, so writing the battle itself won't be too exciting, so guess I'll have to skip past it.
Afterwards Michael meets Devin Westen. Who connects him to a movie producer Michael loves as Devin's way of bribing Michael to remain Devin's business partner.
CURRENT DAY:
Pete Vance approaches Wei Chang, the leader of that chinese gang that Trevor angered. Pete introduces himself, but Wei sarcastically says "that name supposed to mean something?"
"Show some respect." Said Steve, one of Pete's surviving men, and seemingly his right hand man.
"Easy Steve." Pete chuckled.
Pete says he knows about Trevor attacking Chang's son. And says he wants to make an alliance. "What's in it for you?" Wei asked.
"Nothing much, just one more target for you.. You know Sarah "Sadie" Amber? If you and your men help me kill her, then I'll help you with Trevor."
"Fine, but can't say I know the name." Wei Chang admitted.
Pete shows a picture of her. Assumably one of his men took it and was how they found Sadie earlier, and brought her to that abandoned Cabin. Unlike Saras (who tries to show her age in other ways), Sadie does manage too clearly look her age. Though she's still very attractive. She likes keeping her light blonde hair in braids like her anchester Sadie Adler, whom she got her nickname from. And she often wears a white tank top. Which shows the many tattoos covering her arms. Most of them probably gothic. Anyone's guess if she got them before or after Vice City. But the neck tattoo was definitely before.
Pinkie only has the chinese letter tattooed on her neck, from when she and Lazlow got them. Which she tells as one of the few pleasant memories with her adopted brother, Lazlow. As he complimented her bravery of getting it on her neck, and took her for ice cream.
Sally has a small one on her stomach. "CCF4Life".. CCF is the name of the she, Franklin, and Lamar belong to.
Carly has a small black and red rose on her lower back and three small stars on the left side of her right wrist. Seras has none. Far as we can tell at least.
Wei nodes and keeps the photo, saying it's a deal.
"So you want one of the cars?" Asked a non corrupt carsalemen (not everyone in LS has to be corrupt).
"Yeah, I don't have a lot of cash. But I can sell you this ATV for one." Pinkie said, rolling over said ATV. The salesmen looks over it. And admits he can only offer her an old voltswagon. Grey.
"Good enough for me." Pinkie said, and drives off in her new car. Playing Vinewood as it plays Nine is God.
Elsewhere, Michael, Carly, Trevor and Lester plan for the Sandy Shores bank job. Michael is informed Saras and Packie are still in Los Santos. Saras and Roland continue doing cop stuff, likely to avoid suspicion, plus the pay started getting better recently. Packie meanwhile was busy helping Sally, who like Franklin and Lamar is caught up in the CCF/Balas turf war. It was part of the deal when she joined CCF, she had to know the risks that were involved.
Anyway, Carly requests Pinkie's friend Sadie. Saying she saw Sadie take down Elwood's Altruist camp, so saw Amber's skills first hand. Michael says "well you're usually right about these things, so alright".
"What about Pinkie herself? I think her aim is improving, and Carly said she needs money." Trevor asked.
"She does. For the house mostly" Carly replied.
"fine, she can help Franklin with the getaway, we only got 4 suits though, so I hope they find something bullet proof." Michael said.
THE NEXT DAY:
"... DON'T CALL HER A FUCKING CUNT, FAKE ASS BITCH!"
"Lamar, stop." Sally said, wearing a backwards hat, and black hoodie, and grey sweatpants. Plus running shoes. Lamar hass that green outfit he wears with the neck chain.
The CCF member says something else, assumably another insult about Sally, as Lamar shouts "SHE'S MORE CCF THAN YOU BITCH!"
Sally finally stands him down once the guy leaves.
"Fucking motherfuc- FUCK HIM!" Lamar shouts, and storms off. Leaving Sally to groan to herself. Picking back up her phone. Which has a blue case like Michael. She appears to have gotten another tattoo, on her lower back which is noticed when she bent over to get the phone. It says F+S with a heart. Coarse this would make it awkward if she and Franklin ever break up, but that's quite unlikely at this point.
Suddenly Dash drives up.
"Ready for lunch?"
"Sure, hang on, I left my wallet at Denise's." Sally said, heading over, as it's just past the road.
Tonya Wiggins sees them from Sadie coming out of the house from Tonya's usual spot. Obviously drugged out again.
"Hey! Hey keep away from Denise's place!" Tonya cried, trying to be intimidating.
"Tonya, you know me. I was at your birthday.'' Sally said annoyedly.
"D Don't make me call the cops!" Tonya cried, stumbling back a bit.
"Tonya, you told me you were off that shit" Sally said, disappointed but not surprised. Tonya suddenly reconsizes her.
"Sally?... J -JB's having it rough Sally! I need you to buy the tow truck company baby!" Tonya cried.
"No, I'm not buying it Tonya.. And JB is bad news, I keep telling you that." Sally replied.
"H -He's having a hard go Sally!"
"Sure he is." Sally groaned, knowing JB is most likely cheating on her while she does all the work for him.
"W We need you Sally!" Tonya called out, nearly falling over, Sally forcing herself to ignore her and walked back to Dash who waited in her car.
Dash and Sally come out of restaurant, Dash had to force herself not to drink when pregnant. Which considering her still untreated alcholism (which can be played as a very serious issue in some more serious/dramatic stories, as she really does have a problem), must be torture. Yet also might be a good first step towards her recovery. Dash refuses to go to rehab, so Sally and Niko both agreed this might be the only chance.
"Was he hitting on us? I think he was hitting on us." Sally said with a chuckle, referring to a random man inside. But she clearly found it to be more adorable than creepy. Afterall, it doesn't always have to be a bad thing.
"He was. I guess he missed my engagement ring." Dash said. Wearing a dark green hoodie, with the hood up.
"You did have your hands in your pockets most of the time." Sally replied.
"True." Dash responded, examining her wedding ring and smiling to herself. Sally puts a joint in her mouth, assumably Franklin got her into weed, afterall, all it really does is make you feel calm (whatever Berry gave Mike and Trevor it sure as hell wasn't weed). But when preparing to light it, she saw a man approaching them with a grey hoodie. Wearing the hood up and looking down to cover his face, looking around suspiciously with his hands in his hoodie pocket.
"Sorry man, no change." Sally said.
"Not an option!" The man said suddenly and sudden points a Combat Pistol and the girls. Dash reaches for her gun, but Sally stops her. Simply tossing him a black wallet. The man looks though it seeing the ID of JB, the guy Sally earlier mentioned as bad for Tonya. The thief shrugged and took it.
"Now leave." Sally said, lighting the joint, and taking a puff.
"Not yet, I want the ring." The man said, Dash hides the hand holding it behind her back.
"That wasn't part of the deal." Sally said sternly.
The robber pointed the pistol at Sally, who's unfazed.
"Hand me the fucking ring!"
Sally spots Franklin on the phone across the street.
Franklin: ... The smoke in, I'm at city hall, the only fool here.
Berry: Right, right, ooooh shit. I didn't forget I was busy, yeah busy.. Fight the power, ooooooooo.
"I said hand it over!" The gunmen repeats.
"I have a better idea." Sally said and pulls out her handgun. Sally doesn't have her own unique pistol, She uses the standard GTA5 Pistol. As does Michael (who sometimes uses the AP Pistol too), Trevor, Franklin, Lamar, and and most of the villains. Including Pete Vance and Stretch. Niko, Dash and Packie kept there Glock 17's from Liberty City. Sadie has her blue painted Heavy Pistol. Johnny likely using the AP Pistol, Pinkie her small revolver, Seras a Colt Python, Carly and Roland use a small Combat Pistols.
Without warning, Sally shoots herself in the leg. Confusing the robber.
"Sally!" Dash shouts and leans over her sister, Franklin immediately runs over. Just a Sally planned. "Babe!?" He cried worriedly.
"He shot me!" Sally shouts, pointing at the robber, who attempts to run, while shouting "That's bullshit."
Franklin almost immediately shoots the unnamed in the leg and runs over, pulling out a hammer you can buy at gunstores, proceeding to brutally kill the unnamed man with it. Sally smirks to herself, proving she does indeed have a darker side to her.
Obviously she is than taken to the hospital. Jane the nurse says Sally hit nothing important and will be just fine, which we can all assume was intentional, no way would Sally risk actually damaging herself for this. Franklin sayed with her, though Dash had to leave. She promised Connor Parker see would go see a movie with him.
In case you forgot, he was that guy with the dirt bike who helped Packie and his friend Adam Harvey at the drugstore job, where Adam failed to bring a getaway car. Connor doesn't really like doing heists, so got a normal job. Even got into a relationship with Jane. A nurse who appears in stories sometimes. One of the most innocent characters, as she has no involvement in the crime underworld. Just knows the characters.
