Carl awoke, in a Hospital bed. He opened his eyes wearily, and blinked a few times. He looked around the room, only to see Ryder, Smoke, and Bear sitting in three chairs at the corner of the wall. Suddenly, realization his Carl, and he jerked up. "Brian!" He shouted, waking up his three friends. After he began to look around hysterically, Bear (being the closest to him) got up and held Carl down. "Carl! Carl! Chill out, man, calm down!" He shouted.
"W-Where's Brian, man, where's Brian?" Carl said, stopping his fidgeting and jerking, but breathing heavily. No one answered him. "He's .. He's dead, CJ .. " Said Smoke. They all looked down solemnly. Ryder stood, and walked out of the room. A few moments of silence later, he came back in with a Cellphone to his ear. "Yeah, he's up .. Okay, hold on." He handed the phone to Carl, who was amazed Ryder had formed several sentences without swearing, or acting like an idiot. "Hello?" Said Carl. But he was interrupted by Sweet. "Shut up. Brian's funeral is tommorow, but you ain't comin'. While we all gone, you gonna' get your shit from the house, and you leavin' to Liberty City, at four PM. I don't wanna' see, or hear from you. You let Brian die, and I want you to know, I'll always blame you for that." Carl slung the phone across the room, and shouted "No!" Then curled into a ball and sobbed for hours.

The next day, Carl got his things from the Johnson house.
He walked to the door, wearing a blue hoodie and bluejeans, carrying a sports-equipment bag filled with clothing, some money, and a pistol, just incase. He turned, and looked at the house as he opened the door. A single tear rolled down his eye, as he exited, closed the door, and got in a cab.

Carl exited the plain, and listened to the cool voice of the announcer say "Welcome to Liberty City."

Five Years Later

"Hello?"
"Carl, it's Sweet."
"Sweet, what you want?"
"It's moms .. She's dead, bro'."

Carl, once more, exited a plain, this time hearing "Welcome to San Andreas." He walked to baggage claim, and picked up his suitcase. "After five years on the East Coast .. It was time to come home .. "
This was the beginning of ..
The End
