Carly is still at Dash/Niko's Liberty apartment, Playboy's. She doesn't feel sink anymore, but to be safe she's seen sleeping the guest pull out couch. Dash never said if they can use her bedroom or not, but used what's assumably Ariena's bed just be safe. The TV is still on, the Burgershot commercial. Trying to sleep Carly hears someone approach her but keeps her eyes closed, assuming it to be Johnny. But instead the hand that feels against her is gloved. Carly knows only one person who wears glove.. Seras.

Carly opens her eyes and sure enough, there she is. Her beautiful blue eyes glowing a little in the dark room. Even having changed into a dark green t-shirt. She had to buy one so she wouldn't be in uniform all the time, as she didn't pack clothes or supplies, and didn't expect to stay. Seras smiles upon noticing Carly's opened eyes. ''I heard you got sick, I left Sachi with someone and took your bike to check on you.'' Seras admitted.

''Glad to see you mom.'' Carly said.

Seras smiles at the title. Much as she hopes Carly and Amanda settle things, she also much prefers Carly seeing Seras herself as one. As Seras lost her own mother figure when Interga died of an illness, much like Interga's father before her.

Speaking of, it's subtly implied that Seras actually removed most of her powers to start her new life here, to help her return to a normal life. Would explain why one well placed bullet puts her down as easily as every other character. And also how she somehow returned to her original human form again..

Carly grabs Seras's hand, feeling the glove. ''You really shouldn't wear so many gloves, it's less attractive.'' Carly teased. Seras just kinda shrugs. ''I gave you that nail polish, you said you like Aqua.''

''Yea, but the smell kinda bugs me.'' Seras admitted.

''Hey your get use to it mom, and besides, you should know how pretty you are, vampire or not.'' Carly insisted. Which is true, Seras is. Especially when her blue eyes manage to glow at night when under moonlight.

''If you say so.'' Seras said, a bit shyly. Johnny is behind them, actually wearing a white polo shirt, he got more of a wardrobe once settling down in married life.

Suddenly Franklin Clinton runs in, out of breath, and yells about Sally. Carly manages to calm him, and get him to properly explain, which he does, saying about Francis, and Sally getting kidnapped. ''Stupid Francis.'' Seras groaned, Carly not knowing him but agreeing. Johnny nodes in agreement two.

''Why didn't you tell Dash?'' Carly asked.

''To be honest, I'm scared of what she'll do to me.'' Franklin admitted. ''Well she's gonna find out anyway, might as well be from you.'' Carly insisted. Franklin nodes, and nervously calls her.

Expectedly Dash immediately freaks out even on the phone, Dash and Gerry having to calm her down at the house. Partly cause they're still hungover and all her yelling is really killing them. ''Honey please, your friends are regrouping, just relax.'' Packie insisted.

''No, fuck that.'' Dash growled, grabbing her Glock17 pistol and pulling back the front, to have it ready, even opening the front door much to Packie's annoyance and worry, both at once.

Suddenly a van pulled up as soon as Dash basically exited the front door. ''That's the sister'' came a voice. ''HEY DASH!'' came the same voice from the van, Dash looking over only to be suddenly shot in the stomach and fall over, down the stairs.

'' DASH!' Packie yells, only for Gerry to pull him back into the house as more gunfire comes. Gerry himself pulled out a MicroSMG shooting at the van, scaring it off. ''Okay, now you can.'' Gerry said, deadpan. Packie immediately runs to Dash, pulling her inside the house. ''T There's another one coming.'' Dash said weakly, seeing another van.

Packie goes to the stairs, pushes her into the kitchen, having her basically sit on the table and gives her an aid kit before kicking open a small hidden door, revealing some guns. Mostly a sawed off pump shotgun and a few more MicroSMG's. Packie takes the shotgun and runs back, shooting the driver causing him to run into a pole. The van from before also comes back. Gerry takes a moment to reload.

Everyone exists in both vans, but are easily taken down by the McCreary brothers. Dash managing to patch herself up, it's not like she's never been shot before. Doesn't join the battle though. Or does she really need to. ''Aww, I'm not drunk enough for this shit.'' Dash growled, mostly referring to her own wound.

Packie shoots down the last goon. ''Fucking wannabe's.''he growled. ''Yeah, from a van, how cliche can you get.'' Gerry added.

Meanwhile, from a pre-recorded hidden camera, Willis Huntley managed to witness Pinkie finish off the leader of the outpost.

''God damn it, there goes payday.'' Willis growled. Only for a female voice to laugh, Willis points his M1911 pistol. ''Shut your mouth.'' he snapped, revealing it to be a tied up Sally. Revealing himself to working with the Erics gang. Even pistol whipping her when she laughs again anyway. It's the only time so far Willis is seen without sunglasses. Revealing has basic brown eyes underneath. And wears a yellow suit, the same style of suits Michael wears.

''Enjoy while you can Mr CIA. Frankly I feel sorry for any goodagents, having to deal with you.'' Sally ranted. Nobody else in the room, least so far. And the room itself reveals a cabin down in the forest of Liberty City. ''Like your opinion matters anyway sweet cheeks, I'll give you about a week before Davy kills you.. Afterall, you did kill his son.''

''He was an assho-''

''Oh I know, but hey, it's the principle.. And plus, having you will draw out Pinkie.. And I need to finish what I started with Kim.'' Willis chuckled, going back to the pre-recorded camera footage.

''You.. it was you'' Sally growled, knowing the name as Pinkie's real mom, was the only this Norton ever revealed about it. In response, Willis pistol whipped her again. ''Don't judge me Chamberlain girl.'' he snapped, making her bleed a little, but she does her best to not so pain or fear in front of him. She still has her hat, even when tied up, so it managed to hide the blood from him.

Willis tries to call in one of the cops Seras killed, obviously getting no response. ''Aw shit.'' he groaned, finally putting together why.

''Ha-ha'' Sally sassed, Willis just ignores her this time.

Orginally Willis Huntley was more of a sympathic villain.. But considering how violent and brutal his death will be, having him an asshole works better.. David Erics might still be more sympathic though.. Up to debate..
