FLASHBACK:

Niko: I told you to leave me alone.

Peg: (dying) I give the orders here. Me. [clutching chest]

Niko (sarcastically): You're not looking so good there, Jimmy.

Peg: (dying) Screw you.

Niko: What the fuck, did she ever do to you?

Peg: (dying) I wanted YOU,, you immigrant dip shit.

Niko: Big talk... You wanna know something funny?

Peg: (dying) Not really.

Niko: The Commission - the old families - I know some of those guys... And they thought you were a fat fucking joke.

Peg: (weakly) Whatever.

Niko: A joke! Huh. [Niko starts laughing. Pegorino aims his gun back up, but Niko shoots him).

Niko's snap back to reality happened at the exact same time he shot someone dead with his SMG in real time, acting as if it was the same bullet.

It's revealed he and Dash are to be caught in a large gunfight. Niko behind a tree.

Dash is shown to still have just her earlier pistol, as she killed 2 enemies in a row.

"Just like the old days eh Dash!" Niko commented.

"Agreed!" Dash giggled, reloading behind a tree.

The duo cleared the area after a large gunfight and Niko shot the lock off the front door of an apartment.

"Okay Niko.. Watch your back.. There will be more men in there.. Tony is connected" Dash said, reloading her pistol again. Niko also took the time to reload his SMG.

"Then let's do it!" Niko said, gently pushing Dash out of way, before bursting down the door, catching the guys inside off guard, and Niko killed the 4 enemies guarding the entrance within only a few seconds.

"Not bad" Dash giggled.

"Thank yo-"

Niko gets cut by sudden gunshots. He ducked under a couch as someone was firing an M4 Carbine rifle at him.

Dash shot at the guy with the M4, but he was able to use a wall as cover, making him a difficult target.

"Cover me!" Dash cried, running towards the stairs.

Niko did so, blind firing the SMG at the gunmen that they still couldn't reach yet, allowing Dash to get upstairs, since Tony would be up there.

A caught off guard suddenly got grabbed by Dash, she shot the second one in the head, and then broke the guy's neck. Being stronger than she looks.

Dash continued to fight her way towards Tony's room, screaming out his name in rage.

Niko ran up to the guy with the M4 when he was caught off guard, tackling him onto the ground, and shooting him with the SMG from up close.. Something you can do in Red Dead Redemption 2.

The guy we can assume to be Tony was suddenly shot in the stomach, and fell to his knees.

"How's THAT for a hello" Dash said sarcastically, holding her Glock 17.

"Fuck you Dash" Tony said weakly.

"Where's Maureen's stuff.. Huh? Tell me before I shoot you AGAIN!" Dash demanded.

"You don't have the gu-

Sure enough, Dash shoots him again.

"Ahh, you crazy bitch!" Tony screamed.

"I get that a lot," Dash said, with an evil grin.

"Now.. Where's the fuckin stuff?" Dash demanded.

"Okay.. Okay... There in there" Tony said, pointing at a walk in closet.

"Thank you," Dash said, opening the closet.

"You gonna let me go?" Tony asked.

"I would... But then you just be back.. So... Goodbye Tony" Dash said, firing her gun from Tony's point of view, and everything went black.

Shortly after finishing the battle and getting back Maureen's stolen items. Niko, knowing they're both lonely, and need to move on from Kate. Ended up asking Dash out.

"Oh.. Jee Niko.. I. I don't know... I mean.. I'm a mess!.. I'm a homeless, ill tempered, mess" Dash said, sadly.

"Oh come on.. You're a beautiful girl, who needs someone to care for you" Niko insisted.

"Well... I guess that's true.. But I try not to get close to people. Except maybe Packie.. Just gets them hurt or killed" Dash said sadly.

"I'm the same.. But Roman says I shouldn't let Kate's incident stop me from getting close to people.. And I've decided.. He may be right" Niko replied.

"Very well.. Sure Niko, sure."
