Several chapters are just retells from the old story.. But enough changes to not be simple retellings..
The story is connected to I'M STILL ALIVE as well, so gotta keep that story open..
A few days later, the group reach a cabin some Liberty City forest area. Finding the sme cabin Willis was holding Sally in.
"Here we are.. This is the house your friend Lester spoke of" Gerry told Michael.
''Yeah, but knowing Huntley, he'd be gone by now.''
"We still need to send a message to him and David, kill everyone in there.. Johnny Klebitz, this is where you come in" Gerry replied.
"Me? Why me?" Johnny asked.
"Because you used one of these before.. The rest of us haven't" Gerry said, giving Johnny the same type of Grenade Launcher, that Billy Grey gave him to destroy an Angles of House clubhouse, in the mission Action/Reaction.
Johnny paused for a moment, than fired the gun into one of the cabin's opened windows from to the second floor, causing an explosion. And the wooden cabin easily caught on fire.
"Happy Chinese New Year, you fuckers!" Packie cried, as several of them cheered, particularly Packie himself. Seras the only one looking a little uncomfortable, she never did like Arsen. Even before she was a cop. Amber and Adam Harvey both just kinda deadpan.
Soon after, enemies started running outside, and the battle began. Seras pull her MG out of her green Badhi, firing first, and managing to kill a good chunk of them in a row.
Most of the enemies had AK47's and MicroSMG's. A few even had duel Micro's. Tommy actually managed to join the battle this time, shooting an M4 Carbine next to Sarah, almost as if protecting her despite her being a really good shot.
Michael's Carbine rifle is upgraded to have a scoop and sliencer, and he shot one of the enemies as it peaked from it's cover, and blood sprayed over the wall, as it fell down lifelessly and with a hole though it's head.
Niko, seeing that most of the enemies where in too good of cover, threw a grenade, killing a good many of them. Gerry and Franklyn, who were both near Niko, both using Carbine's two. Niko a combat shotgun. Dash an AK47 like Trevor and Lamar.
Packie, seeing that everything was going perfectly so far, told everyone to provide cover fire for Johnny and him, as they ran towards the house, before it burns down.
"Alright Johnny, only one way to check if Sally is here, we upstairs." Packie told Johnny.
"Sure, but hurry, the smoke is hard to breath though.'' Johnny admitted. Packie and Johnny reached the stairs, and were just outside the door.
QUEEN - ONE VISION is heard playing from a radio.
"You ready bro?" Packie whispered to Johnny. Johnny nodded and readied his gun.
Suddenly Packie burst down the door, catching the man inside off guard, and Packie fired a total of 7 bullet holes into the guys chest, killing him.
''She's not in here!" Packie cried rather angrily after a quick look around
"Are you sure?" Johnny asked.
"Of coarse I'm fuckin sure!" Packie cried.
Packie radioed the others, saying "Mikey, she's not fuckin here! Over!"
Michael: That will have to wait. These assholes have got reinforcements!.. Get down here McReary!
"Goddamn it.. Alright, alright, I'm coming" Packie said, before putting away the radio. With that the two ran back outside, happy to escape the burning cabin. The radio dies out as the flames encrease.
Seras is seen shooting more approaching men, most of them in vans.. Of coarse. Which only ends up making it easier for everyone to shoot them as the climb out of them. Pinkie brought her sniper and hits most of the drivers, causing crashes into trees, one even off a cliff, saving everyone the trouble. She's always been better at long range, she grew up hunting a lot.
''Carly, Dash, take cover!'' Michael and Packie are heard shouting as the gunfight became stronger. The girls are both compentent fighters, but it was mere instinct on their part. Carly surprised Seras didn't say the same, but guess she was kinda busy at the moment. Both are using a fall tree as Dash is seen reloading as Carly shoots and kills one of the enemies before she does the same.
''In a weird way, this is kinda fun.'' Carly admitted.
''Always is.. Before you get shot.'' Dash admitted.
''Yeah, always a mood killer.'' Carly chuckled. Dash continuing to shoot her AK47.
The next day turns out David and Willis make an alliance with the remaining Alturists, who attack them when regrouping at the McCreary house. But despite shooting Trevor in the arm, the small remaining group are quickly killed off. Packie expressing actual disappointment which Carly agrees two, saying she's going out for a walk.
Meanwhile Gerry is seen friending Lester on Twitter. "There.. I can't believe you even still use Twitter." Gerry told Lester, who was on facetime.
Lester: That's why it's good.. Nobody uses it anymore.. So don't have to worry about trolls.
Carly explores around the forest, alone and holding pistol to find everyone some food. She sees a rabbit, against her better judgement she readies the gun onl to suddenly get knocked unconscious.
She awoke several hours later to see a campfire and a unknown man poking at said fire. A tent nearby. ''Ah your awake now w-.. Wait your not Dash. Sorry I thought you were my daughter.''
"Than let me go, I won-.. Wait.. Where you planning on hurting her."
"I'll let you go.. But on one condition.. Bring me my second daughter... Bring me Dash Tarlene Lucia." the man, John Lucia, told her. Ignoring her question.
"Her middle name is Tarlene?" Carly asked, having never actually known that.
"Yes.. It was her mothers name" the man revealed, actually looking sad.
Carly actually noticed the sadness in him, wanted to sympathize but instead she felt anger as she remembered everything Sally told her about the kinda father he was.. Suddenly sadness wasn't good enough.
"What are you going to do to her.. Sally told me what you did to Dash. If you touch her I'll..."
"Hey David said it was me or Dash, might as well be Dash right." John Lucia admitted, further angering Carly. ''Might as well... NO! YOUR HER FATHER!''
John becomes more impatient. ''Just give me Dash you little bitch.'' Carly angrily punches him, which knocks him over and startles him.
"How do you sleep at night, knowing that you raped her?! All of what's happened in her life started with you stealing her innocence and betraying her trust!" Carly shot back.
''It's Sally who's the untrustworthy one. She double crossed me and called the cops.''
''Sally suffers trauma you bastard, the fact you scared her silent has deeply effected her mentally. She breaks down about it whenever we go out drinking on girls night. You ruined both daughters, what a pathetic human being you are, aren't you John.'' Carly growled.
''Hey, you shut your mouth.'' John snapped.
''Oh yeah. One daughter became a drunk, the other joined a gang.. What a great job you did raising those girls.'' Carly mocked.
"DON'T YOU FUCKIN JUDGE ME!" Mr. Lucia screamed angrily.
"Ohh.. I would NEVER judge a man who rapes his own dau-"
Suddenly Carly gets punched straight across the face.
"YOU SHUT YOUR BITCH MOUTH!" Mr. Lucia screamed, going in for another punch, but Carly head butted him, knocking him back a bit.
Carly tempted to stab the now clear threat. But Mr. Lucia caught her arm, punching her in the face and knocking her down. Carly's knife falling near her. Carly turns back when getting up and barely dodged being hit by a nearby tree axe he brought with him that he angrily tried hitting her with.
Carly burst up, but Mr. Lucia was clearly skilled with that axe, each time, only inches away from hitting her. There's clearly no way she can hit him with melee moves.
Out of nowhere a gunshot rings out and John falls over, dropping the axe and clenching his stomach, only to be shot again, right in one of his knees, causing him to fall down. Carly gets up, looking to the shooter.
''Sally...''
''Yeah broke out when you attacked the cabin, sorry for running off.'' Sally admitted.
''It's okay. But Sally listen, it's your...''
''Salome.. It's daddy.'' John said, trying to be nice despite the wounds. Sally pauses, and suddenly fires 3 more bullets into him, startling Carly who backs up.
''Don't you DARE call me your little Salome! Not ever! You have any idea how that was.. Knowing what you did.. I knew, I knew what you did.. I.. I was scared, I.. It ruined me.. YOU RUINED ME!''
''I'm sorry Salome.'' John said, not even sincerely, which Sally immediately picks up on. Sally simply shooting him dead. But after a pause, she begins unloading the rest of the magazine into him. Or least a large chunk before Carly stops her, hugging her. ''It's okay Sally.. He's gone.''
Sally squeeze hugs her, sobbing.
'Hmm, maybe Amanda isn't so bad.' Carly heard herself think.
Franklin happens to come over, asking about all the noise only to be immediately kissed by Sally. She not even letting him ask any questions, just instant kiss and than a still watery eyed hug. Frank stays silent for now, patting her back.
''Listen.. Please don't ever call me Salome.'' Sally said, out of nowhere.
''Oh is that what Sally stands fo-''
''Just don't.. Trust me.. It means Sarah now.. Or Samantha'' Sally said, squeezing him tighter. Franklin prepares to ask why but Sally just kissing him on the lips again. As if to distract him.. And herself.
Carly just kinda leaves, going unnoticed by him. Carly deciding she wasn't needed anymore.
In a weird way, Sally actually hates her father FAR more than Dash does,.. Dash more just didn't want anything to do with him.. It's Sally who hates him.. John may not of touched of Sally, but he was very abusive to her, mostly emotionally..
