A/N~Used a Wrestling reference in this Los Santos memory/flashback!
At Rockford Hills Academy and also Blake's fourth month of being at Los Santos, she and her friends were volunteered to play softball to raise money for the school's needs.
Actually Maxie J signed them up, because she had two different passions. She loves photography and she also loves softball in her spare time.
They had their team against East Los Santos High. It was supposed to be Davis High against Rockford Hills Academy, but a shooting was involved at the school and the girls softball team over at Davis High was cancelled.
"Before we start our softball game from Rockford Hills Academy's Knights and East Los Santos High's Wildcats, would everyone please stand for Lynnette Haines as she sings our national anthem." Coach Balor said loudly through the microphone, using his Irish accent.
Then the Rockford Hills Academy cheerleaders came out while spreading the American flag across the baseball field, before Lunch grabbed the microphone.
"You sure Lunch knows the song?" Blake questioned as she had her hand over her chest.
"I went over the song with her last night." Max
"Was it after when she finish gotten high?" Blake questioned once more.
"Aw, crap. What have I done?" Max said to herself, before Lunch look up at the visiting parents in kids who are on the bleachers having their hands over their heart waiting for her to sing the national anthem.
"Oh say can you see. By the dawn's early light. We're so proudly we held. At the twilight's last gleaming. Whose broad stripes and bright stars?…" Lunch sang the national anthem and she stood in front of the crowd who was standing up with their hand over their heart and the girls softball team was right behind her. "Um… Um.."
"Through the perilous fight." Steve tried to mouth off the words to Lunch as she was looking around with her green eyes.
"How did I know she was going to mess up." Michael said as he waited for Lunch.
"Shut up!" Amanda gritted through her teeth.
"And the rockets bursting." Lunch sang the incorrect verse of the song, as Steve hanged his head to look down at his feet. "And… everything is exploding. Through the night. Or something…" She sang the the incorrect lyrics as she, Blake, Max and the others started laughing of how unamerican Lunch sang the national anthem. "Well, everyone know the rest. Peace out!" She said, before giving the microphone back to Coach Balor.
"Play ball!" Coach Balor shouted through the microphone, earning loud groans coming from the crowd as it was really loud.
"So, we're all gonna do this?" Carter questioned.
"Yep, the big one." Trevor agreed.
"The big one." Michael said.
"The big one!"
"Aw, fuck!" Max said, while covering her ears.
"Damn it, Uncle M, T, L, and even Pop!" Ethan exclaimed.
"What is the big one?" Franklin questioned.
"Poppa Mikey and Uncle T never told you? As their son and nephew?" Carter said, sarcastically before he and Ethan laughed.
"The Union Depository." Michael said, before nodding towards Lester.
"I think we should let the youngest robber in the room fill us in on the details. Since this was her dream when she was barely three years old." Lester said, nodding towards Blake who was looking away at the moment. Everyone looked at Blake who was sitting down on Lester's bed as they can hear her crying.
"You want one, Blakie?" Lunch's voice ran through her mind as she was thinking to herself about losing her funny, but loveable best friend.
"No thanks. My friend from… Liberty City was doing that stuff and I'm trying to stay drug free."
"Well, one day me, you and Maxie J here are going to be doing a puff, puff, give. Whether you like it or not."
"Hey…" Then Blake felt Michael's hand touching her shoulder as she snapped out of it with tears running down her face. "You'll be alright, Blakie."
Blake nodded before wiping her tears off, and stood up in front of everyone, breathing in and out slowly before speaking about the The Big Score.
"Family. Friends. And Trevor." She started her speech off.
"Hey!" Trevor retorted.
The Union Depository is like a landline full of bars of gold. The place is at Pillbox Hill, near downtown and the FIB and IAA buildings. When I was almost 4 years old before I was kicked out of daycare for being who I want to be when I grow and also for my disability, I overheard my Dads and uncles talking about The Big One…"
"The job is most likely suicide, but we'll be retiring in style away from this trailer park and somewhere we can raise our kids right." Carter explained.
"Oh, don't have your fucking tighty whitey's in a fucking bunch, C. This is what we've been dreaming of from day one." Trevor explained, before sipping his beer.
"You need to be quiet, Trevor. My daughter and son are sleeping." Carter informed, pointing towards the small hallway as Blake stayed hidden in the darkness.
"I wanna do it too…" Then the bank robbers in living room area of the Grant-Rose trailer home heard a small voice like a bird as they saw Blake looking at them, while holding Kuma-chan tightly with big wide teal eyes.
"Ladybug…" Carter called out to Blake as he stood up. "You're supposed to be asleep. It's really late."
"What's the big one?" Blake questioned once more.
"Uh, Ladybug, this is between us. Not for little girls." Carter said once more.
"Tell me about the Big One!" Blake said in a stern voice.
"Ah, she's probably not gonna remember it when she gets older. We've might as well tell her, so she can go back to sleep." Trevor said.
"Okay, Blakie Bear, promise us that you won't tell Mommy or anyone about this. Okay?" Michael said and Blake nodded, holding Kuma-chan tightly.
"Tell me now, Uncle Mikey." Blake said as her teal colored eyes dazzled, ready to hear knowledge about the Big One.
"Then everyone who was there fill me in about the big score. As my eyes widened, I wanted to do this heist. And I remember what Daddy Michael told me, while rubbing my head as I was looking up at him…"
"Blakie Bear, when you are old enough to use a gun, and learn our way as bank robbers. One day, we'll take you on one of our heists." Michael said.
"Michael, I don't approve of this." Carter said, Michael ignored him.
"Even the big one?" Blake questioned.
"Yes… Even the big one. As long as you don't let us get old and in a wheelchair, when you're ready for this." Michael said, before chuckling and rubbing his hand on the dark haired child's long black hair as Blake giggled happily.
"And now… up to this date, this dream on mines will come true." Blake finished explaining as she stood in front of everyone in Lester's computer den.
"Wow, you remember it." Michael said amazed.
"First, she told me that she wanted to be a princess, next a veterinarian, then a chef for my own restaurant, and now she's a bank robber." Carter explained, as he was surprised too.
"Hey, Porkchop number 2, this happens to be my dream as well. I'm the one who wanted to do this, and you and the other fuckin' people in this room owes me." Trevor started, walking towards Blake.
"Hey! I'm not build like my Daddy. I can do flips and cartwheels like a sluty cheerleader." Blake retorted, before pushing Trevor away from her. "So, you stand there and shut up!... Any questions?"
Then Trevor raised his hand, and Blake rolled her eyes. "What is it? You gotta do number 2?" The dark haired teen questioned and Max laughed while covering her mouth.
"Oh, so you think it's fucking funny?" Trevor questioned as Max started putting one of her hands up while she continue her laughter.
"No, no, Trevor. It ain't. I'm sorry, sir." Max tries to apologise during her laughter.
"Oh, so you tried to apologise to Uncle T, huh?" Trevor questioned.
"Don't start, T. She's a 17 year old." Michael said, stopping him before Blake stood in front of him, defending Max.
"If you're thinking about having Max kick out of the heist, you must be fucking crazy for an uncle." Blake said. "And if you're planning to bring back Lunch, which everyone in this room knows she's gonna fuck up."
Michael, Franklin and Ethan agreed with Blake statement, but Lester and Carter barley knows the pink haired teen known as Lunchables.
"Okay, nine fuckin' words… Fuck you, Townley! And fuck you too, Mini Townley!" Trevor growled, before doing the same thing to Blake and pushed her out of the way to look at Max. "You're one of those cowboy boot wearin' motherfuckers? Well, I just killed them all and sent out my revenge with sticky bombs." He explained after he noticed Max's brown cowgirl boots.
"T, leave the girl alone." Franklin said, before Trevor pushed him back.
"Now, you listening here, you little cowgirl boot wearing terror, I-" Trevor started to say, before Max kneed him in fronts as he covered it with both of his hands and gave out a startled cry. "Damn it, little girl…" He said, before fallen onto his side. "For someone who wears boots… you have fuckin' balls, kid!"
"Ugly asshole." Max snarled.
"Okay, okay, she can stay…" Trevor managed to say, while getting up off the floor. "But… I'm recommending Lunch, cause… Selena needs the money to pay for Chris' funeral and maybe… a new house here for me and her."
"Okay, I just have one thing to say about you and Selena." Blake said as Trevor turn around to face her.
"What Shrimp?" Trevor asked.
"Eww!" Blake said disgusted.
The very next day, Blake started to get dress for the day as she was assign to steal a silver and black stripe Bravado Gauntlet near a shopping center in Rockford Hills. While in the bathroom she shared with Michael and Amanda, Blake started applying Broadway True Matte Apple Picking lipstick on her pale pink lips, before doing her eyes with black eyeliner to make a cat eye look along with her Miss. Manga mascara. Then she came out of the bathroom and into her hotel room finally having makeup on and having her punk rocker clothes on, like she was back to way she was.
She started fixing her fluffy cute plaid punk dress as she wore faux leather skinny jeans that had zippers and black lace up jag boots that had studs. After spraying on one of her Sweet Crush Body Fantasies fragrance body spray, Touka meows loudly after she dropped her Star Wars Chewbacca mouse toy on the floor and pawed Blake's right foot.
Blake smiled sweetly at her small munchkin kitten with her red Apple Picking matte lipstick on her lips, before picking her up and placing her on the queen sized bed. "Sorry, girl. You can't come with me. I have to do this to save my… how should I put this… my family." She explained, before sitting down on the bed next to the black and white munchkin kitten and Touka climbed onto Blake's lap, making purring noises. "But while I'm out. I can go by the pet store and get some cat treats. How about those Temptations? And they will be in chicken flavor this time, since Daddy got you salmon flavor."
In the other room, Amanda was on the hotel's phone calling room service…
"Yeah, I need some towels, because somehow the bathroom doesn't have enough clean towels for me to take a nice, hot shower." Amanda said on the hotel phone, explain her situation. "Okay, thanks." Then she hanged up the phone, before hearing knocking on the door. "That was fast."
As she was walked towards the hotel door and opened it, Amanda was facing a hotel maid covering her face with the towels. "Thanks, I needed this. Are these microfiber towels?" She questioned, while touching the white towels as Blake exited out of her hotel room, locking the door and saw Amanda talking to a hotel maid…
Once Blake saw the ginger red hair. She knew right there and now that wasn't a maid. Then the maid dropped the towels and reveals her face. In the blink of an eye, Macey punches Amanda in the face, knocking her to the floor as Blake grabbed her mother and thrown her outside into the hallway.
"Always strong, just like Michael." Macey said, while standing up.
"Yeah… and I found out your little secret after a long time ago. Michael Townley happens to be my real father. How could you hide the secret from?" Blake questioned as she was enraged at her mother already.
"It was the only secret I have to keep hidden away from his bitchy wife. I still hate her up to this day. But I hope you haven't forgotten a little deal. And I shall warn you, you have only a week for now." Macey explained, circling around Blake as the dark haired teen keep her enraged stare at her mother and her balled up fists close to her body. "By the way, have you received Steve's voicemail? He sent you a little something that you should know."
"Why should I listen to him? You should listen to me. He almost tried to rape me." Blake growled.
"Oh, Blakesleigh, you are still the same, aren't you, you little tease?" Then Blake's teal eyes widened as she heard Steve's voice, until she felt something cold underneath her chin that was blocking her airway. She'd swiftly pulled out her switchblade knife from out of her black studded heart shaped crossbody purse and immediately puncture it.
Suddenly, the blade broken off the handle and left Blake watching the blade fall to the floor, shockingly. "You like my new hand and arm?" Steve questioned as his new hand and arm was like cold metal underneath her chin and stopping her from breathing. "It has really come in handy for little bad girls like yourself." He said close to her ear, as Blake was struggling to fight back. Then the handle of her knife drop from out of her hand, and she was unconscious in a matter of seconds, slipping her body from Steve's new prosthetic arm.
"Blake. Blake, wake up!"
Blake slowly came back into conscious self as she felt her left shoulder shaking, before she opened her teal colored eyes to see a pair of sky blue eyes looking down at her.
"Ah… Amanda?" Blake managed to say after noticing the mother's chocolate brown hair and sky blue eyes.
"Oh thank God, you're alive." Amanda said, after moving herself away from Blake as the dark haired teen slowly raised her upper body up to sit on her bottom. "I was about to call for help using your phone, but when I hear you coming back… I'm just glad that you're okay."
"Amanda, do you remember who hit you?" Blake questioned, after noticing Amanda's black eye.
"It was so fast. But… I thought I saw strand of red hair, which reminded me of your mother." Amanda explained, as Blake examines the black eye on her right one. "Or not, maybe it's my concussion when I hit the floor."
"I'll let Daddy know what happened…" Blake said, while getting off the floor. "Better put some ice, steak or… filet mignon on that eye…" Then the dark haired teen felt and heard some paper crumpling as she pulled out of her right boot and open it.
'Line 5, Locker #597'
It was in Macey's handwriting and in red ink as Blake knows where she should pick up the sniper rifle. Then placed the small piece of paper in her purse, before looking back at Amanda. "I have some business to take care of." She said before running towards the elevator.
"But Blake…" Amanda started to say, trying to catch her before Blake leave in the elevator but she was too late as the dark haired teen was already in the elevator, looking back at her.
"Deuces, Mom." Blake said, showing a peace sign before the elevator doors closed on her.
"She… she called me Mom." Amanda said, surprisingly.
As Blake taken a taxi to the area of where was the Bravado Gauntlet was parked, she decided to walk around the Rockford Hills Shopping Center before she noticed the silver and black stripe sports car, parked sideways in a parking space.
Once she walked across the street, she was in front of the driver's side before she pulled out a black bobby pin from her short black hair and started picklocking. It took her 20 seconds after when she heard the car door unlocking.
"Haven't lost your touch, Blakie." She said to herself, before standing back on her feet and opening the door. The she climbed into the Gauntlet as she was amazed at of it's interior features.
"Wow, ventilating and heated seats, five passenger seating, a touch screen that includes hands free calling and radio." Blake said amazed, before starting up the muscle car by pressing the ignition button, and turning onto Radio Mirror Park by using the touch screen radio as the song The Setup by Favored Nations was playing. "And even awesome cupholders?! I love this car already!" She said, before turning up the radio up to the max volume and left the parking space, heading towards the train station.
As she parked the Bravado Gauntlet, Blake climbed down the stairs towards the train station while heading to the luggage lockers. Once she made it pass the metal detector without it going off, she pulled out the piece of paper from out of her crossbody purse and read it once more.
"Line 5, Locker 597." Blake read out loud, before walking towards the lockers. It taken her a few minutes, before finding the right locker and putting in the number combination. Once the locker open, Blake opened it slowly as it showed a hard black briefcase with a teal colored 'B' in curly brush font, knowing it was for her. As she slowly placed it on the floor, Blake started opening it… but it needed a combination.
So, Blake pulled out her iFruit phone and texted her mother.
'Got the briefcase. What's the combination?' Blake texted as she waited for her mother to text her back, before hearing her iFruit phone chimed.
'It's on the paper, hidden in your boot.' Macey replied.
Then Blake looked back at the small piece of paper as it showed the locker number and combination to the luggage lockers, before she turned it around and found the combination to the black suitcase.
"5597" Blake said to herself, while turning the numbers out on the black suitcase combination. "My fuckin' birthday. You've remember, mother."
Then she press the buttons down as the briefcase opens with a click and Blake opened and saw the parts of a heavy sniper rifle that includes an advance sniper scope and a suppressor. After staring at it for a few seconds, Blake closed the suitcase and left the luggage lockers with the black briefcase out the back way, without going through security.
If you get the locker number and the combination, that's an Easter egg and it's really does stand for Blake's birthday. May 5th, 1997.
So, with the sniper rifle. Is Blake really going to use to kill Steve or Amanda? Will she been able to use it, before her mother comes back to haunt her and her so called family once again?
And Blake really loves that Bravado Gauntlet, will she be able to have it as a car for herself after the Big Score?
What will happen in the next chapter now?
