"Look, Michael ain't alright, he's at Mount Zonah with stitches in his head. He went through hell, Amanda." Franklin explained, as he was on his Badger smartphone when he didn't recognize the number at first, before answering to find out that it was Michael's wife, Amanda calling him.
"What? Why is he in the hospital? What happened to him?!" Amanda started asking questions, as her worried state about her husband now turned into a shocking surprise.
"He'll explain everythin' to you, once you see for yourself. He wanted to be one to tell you, but he told me that you ain't care 'bout him. He's depressed as shit, Amanda. Go see for yourself." Franklin responded, before hanging up the phone.
"Wait, Franklin-" Amanda started to say, before she was a second late when Franklin hung up on her.
Looking to see for herself that it's true, Amanda arrived at Mount Zonah in her red Sentinel convertible as she found Michael's hospital room which it's room number 307 on the third floor. She slowly open the door to hear the heartbeat monitor for a normal heart beat tone. Walking into the room, Amanda closed the door behind her as her black boots were making clicking noise against the cold hospital floor until her blue eyes widened to see what Franklin told her on phone is true.
The brown haired wife noticed a sterile gauze pad covering the stitches on the left side of his head along with a few small cuts on his skin and even a black eye. As Amanda walked closer towards her husband, she also noticed a small cylinder object in his right hand. Desperate to find out what it is, Amanda reach out to take it out of Michael's hand… until the sleeping dark haired husband reacted and closed his fingers around it.
"Mmm… 'Manda?" Michael hummed quietly, before turning towards his head towards the left, before opening his blue eyes slowly to see a familiar figure with her chocolate brown hair up in a loose bun and the prettiest light blue eyes he fell in love with.
"Oh my God, Michael… are you okay?" Amanda said shockingly, before touching his face and seeing him flinch when he felt the cuts and even the banging pain on his forehead. "Franklin told me that you were here. I can't even leave you alone for awhile this happen to you." She said, as touched the white gauze pad on Michael's forehead and seeing him flinch out.
"Ah… easy on my face, darling." Michael said, as Amanda moves her hand away from his face. "I'm so…" Happy? Glad? "... surprised to see you. I thought-" He started to explain, before seeing a flashback of Blake smacking him in the forehead with the shovel.
Suddenly, Michael groaned out in agony as he saw that flashback once more, making his own head hurt once his blue eyes closed tightly, while touching his head softly.
"You want me to get the doctor, Michael?" Amanda questioned her husband after when he sudden flashback pain went away.
"No, no, Amanda, I'm alright." Michael answered, before looking back at his wife.
"Don't fucking say you are alright, when you're not, you ass." Amanda retorted. "You are in the hospital with stitches on your forehead and with a fucking black eye. I came here to find out what happen. When I left you alone in the house in your own fantasy life you wanted, along with our niece, I never expected you to get yourself hurt and make me worry about you, you selfish asshole." She explained, before remember about the 17 year old teenager who've been living in the De Santa house, since she'd supposedly left her mother behind in Ludendorff. "Speaking of Blake, where is she?" She questioned her husband, as Michael looked down at the purple tube of matte lipstick that was in his coat pocket.
"She's… She'd... " Michael said, trying to find the right words, but he must tell her the truth no matter what situation he's in today in Los Santos. "She'd ran away, Mandy. Trevor went berserk and kidnaps her, taking her to North Yankton to find out the truth. Then I followed them to Ludendorff to get Blake back, and she was digging up my grave as Trevor held her hostage. One minute, they found out the truth and the next minute me and him were knocked out with a shovel. She used her anger out on us." Michael explained.
"So, Blake was the one to use her anger out on you, giving you stitches and a black eye?" Amanda questioned.
"Baby, she used a shovel to knock me out. The black eye and the cuts are another story, but the truth is Blake ran off and she's in Ludendorff somewhere." Michael explained.
"Why would she stay over there? Maybe she came back to Los Santos, and over at a friend's house." Amanda suggested, before pulling out her iFruit phone.
"Manda, I've tried to look for her. I even used my own phone to find her, and her last location is in Ludendorff." Michael explained, as Amanda used her Find My iFruit phone app to find Blake's true location, but it shows that her last location was in Ludendorff. "She'd probably turn it off, so no one can find her." He suggested. "It's my fault to begin with." He confessed, while looking down at the tube of matte lipstick.
"Wait… Michael, look at this…" Amanda said, before showing her phone screen towards her husband and showed Blake's last location. "What do you see on here?" She questioned.
"It's her last phone location signal, that's what I see." Michael answered.
"No, you ass. Look closer, Michael." Amanda said, before zooming in to show Blake's last known location as it showed a horizontal road on the map and even a vertical trailed off one on the street. "Winter Lane. Does that road name brings us to somewhere?" She questioned.
"Wait… and this trailed off road which is where Blake's at, but-" Michael started to say, before remember back about the trailed off road on Winter Lane which leads to Winterwood Trailer Park where he, Amanda and the kids, including Blake, Macey and the others lived there before the Ludendorff bank job. "Fuckin' A, we've found her!" He said triumphantly, before heading Amanda clearing her throat and looking at his wife. "I mean you've found her, baby." He corrected.
As only a week passed by in a blink of an eye, Blake and Indie were settle into the life living in a trailer home while taking care of Kynsleigh. Over the days, they went out and brought more clothes, food, baby needs and Blake even got herself a new Badger smartphone, after burying her iFruit phone nearby.
After spending at least $400 on all the stuff she'd brought, Blake knew that she must start looking for a day job while putting Indie in Ludendorff Elementary and setting Kynsleigh up with a babysitter from the trailer park. But for now while the younger ones were fast asleep, Blake places a short straight black wig along with a teal colored hoodie, and armed with one of her 9mm pistols, leaving into the darkness of the snowy town with disguised red eye contacts on.
"Oh thank God… home sweet home." Blake said quietly after closing the door behind her, leaning against it.
After dropping her black backpack onto the floor, Blake headed towards Indie's bedroom and sees the small girl asleep while holding a brown teddy bear which Blake affectionately named 'Kuma-chan', close to Indie's chest when she found him in the corner of her old bedroom, collecting dust.
Smiling at the sleeping small child, Blake retreated back to the master bedroom with the black backpack and place it onto the bed after closing the door. After removing the wig and mask, Blake walked towards the bathroom to see her night clothes which is a grey long sleeve shirt saying 'Ludendorff Snow Dragons' and black leggings on the counter, before closing the door behind her.
"After a long night like that, I need a relaxin' shower…" Blake said to herself, before grabbing her watermelon lemonade shower gel from the cabinet, before turning the shower head onto the warm, relaxing water and removing her clothes, climbing into the shower.
A few minutes passed, Blake had gotten halfway through the wash when through the misted glass, she spotted the outline of Indie passing the doorway, still clutching onto Kuma-chan as she looked around, keeping close to the walls so she could see everything with nothing behind her.
"Indie?" Blake called out, as she turned off the shower before wrapping a white towel around her body. "Is that you?" She questioned, before brushing through her damp short black hair.
"Yeah… I had a bad dream." Indie answered, stepping back to the doorway.
"Okay… give me a minute." Blake said, after slipping on her black panties. The dark haired teen finally wore her night clothes as she came out the bathroom and her teal colored eyes widened in fear once noticed her robbery stuff on the bed. In a quick minute, she hides the black backpack, the wig and the gun in the closet, before unlocking the door to see the small girl. "Don't be scared, come on in." She insisted, moving out of the way for Indie to walk in.
Indie nodded, before she walked in towards the bed and climbed up onto the end of it, holding the blanket close to herself as well as Kuma-chan.
"What happened in your dream?" Blake said, before sitting down next to her right side of the bed. "Is there something you want to talk about, sweet pea?" She questioned, moving a few locks of Indie's golden blonde hair out of her face.
"He was chasing me again." Indie answered, shifting over and leaning against Blake.
"Honey, he won't be back for you." Blake said reassuring Indie, as her thumb rubbed against the small girl's cheek. "Listen, you are safe with me. I was once the same like you, but I was older and I made it out alive. Besides, I won't let anyone take you away from me, especially the same goes to Kynsleigh. I will always be here, girlie." She explained, before lightly touching Indie's chest with her index finger indicating to the girl's biomechanical heart.
"I know… I just keep… seeing him, he's still chasing me." Indie said in response, before her arms went around Blake and whispered. "I'm safe with you, Mommy."
"Yeah…" Blake said quietly, before placing a kiss on Indie's forehead. "You are, Indie." She whispered, before seeing Indie slowly closing her eyes, and finally went to sleep.
As Blake slowly climbed out of the bed, she went to check on Kynsleigh who was asleep in the cherry wood crib on the west side of the room. The dark haired teen slowly lifted up Kynsleigh who shifted into her mother's arm, before Blake taken her into the kitchen to make a quick soothing formula baby bottle.
While grabbing a hot pink tinted baby bottle from the clean side of the sink, Blake suddenly heard the rumbling of a car's engine as she looked up at the kitchen window to see a snow covered blue Declasse Asea pulling up to the trailer homes.
"This is where she is? Back at this old trailer home?" Amanda questioned, before getting back on the Find My IFruit phone app and it showed that Blake's phone is outside of the trailer house.
"Yeah, this is the last place she could be at. The second house she'd live in was burn down, remember?" Michael said, before climbing into the steps before trying to open the door, but it was locked on the other side.
Back inside, Blake places Kynsleigh back into the convertible crib, before hearing someone knocking on the door.
"She ain't gonna answer the door, Amanda, if she's in there."
"Well, it doesn't hurt to try, Michael."
"Oh crap!" Blake whispered.
"Is someone chasing you too?" Indie questioned as she'd woken up, but stayed still in the bed.
"No… No, Indie, someone's got the wrong house…" Blake said, before standing up and walked towards the closet. "I'll go talk to them, but they will be gone as soon as I come back into the house. Stay here with sissy, okay?" She said, placing on her teal colored jacket and the short black wig on top of her head, before taking her black backpack with her and leaving the two alone.
"Nobody's answering." Amanda stated, before seeing Michael digging through the snow and manages to find Blake's iFruit phone which is damaged by the wetness of the cold wet snow.
"She's hiding in there, Amanda…" Michael stated, while looking at the iFruit phone in the palm of his hand. "Go around and see if you can find her through the windows." He said.
"Aren't you coming with me, Michael?" Amanda questioned, hugging her herself as her red winter coat kept her warm.
"I'll be lookin' through the windows as well. If you see something let me know." Michael explained, before Amanda rolled her eyes and started walking around.
'Fuckin asshole. Making me go halfway across the country just to go look for our niece in the harsh weather-" Amanda said to her while walking around the trailer home, until she noticed the back window was wide open. "Michael, there's a window-" She called out, before seeing 5'2" figure in front of her, wearing a teal colored hoodie, short black hair with red eye contacts with fake blood running down her cheeks and a half of a skull face bandana covering her mouth.
"Booga, booga, booga!" Blake said frighteningly, as Amanda's eyes widened and screamed out loudly, running away from the dark haired teen.
"Amanda?!" Michael called out.
"Get me out of here! Get me out of this dump now, Michael!" Amanda shouted in fear, before running back towards the snow covered Asea.
"But did you see Blake?" Michael questioned as Amanda started fasten her seatbelt, before walking around the back of the trailer home to see that the window was wide open and noticed Blake's red and black knitted pom-pom hat on the snowy ground. "Blake wore this…" He said, as Blake was hiding on the west side of trailer home, listening to Michael's voice and footsteps
Three loud honks of the snow covered sedan's horns were heard which made Blake and Michael jumped, as it was coming from the snow covered Asea.
"Alright, I'm comin' Manda!" Michael called out, while putting the knitted hat into the back of his jeans pocket. Blake heard Michael's crunching footsteps quieting down, before heading the door opening and closing to the snow covered blue Asea, driving away from the trailer home.
"That was too damn close." Blake said, after coming out from hiding on the west side of the trailer home, until she climbed back through the window.
Before heading back to the master bedroom, Blake finally made a quick bottle for Kynsleigh and wiping off the fake blood off her face until the dark haired teen went to check on her two adopted daughters.
"I will never leave you two, no matter what." Blake whispered, before removing the wig and jacket while walking towards the closet, until the dark haired teen heard Indie shifting towards her left.
"Are they gone, Mommy?" Indie questioned, as Blake heard the small blonde haired girl's sleepy voice.
"Yeah… they're gone. They're not coming back again, like I promise, girlie." Blake answered, while taking off her jacket and the short black wig, throwing them into the closet.
Once Blake closed the closet door, the dark haired teen noticed Indie smiling in her sleep before placing a kiss on top of her golden blonde hair.
