Sally, Franklin and Lamar have parked Lamar's van outside where D is suppose to be.
"Alright lets get the masks" Lamar said, opening the bag Sally brought.
"Now we ju- wait, what the fuck are these!?" Lamar cried, seeing 3 smiling skull masks, only fit for little kids.
"It's not Halloween, it's the best I could do in short notice" Sally admitted.
"Those aren't scary!" Lamar whined.
"It'll do the trick, now lets get this over with" Franklin said.
Meanwhle, Carly has taken Seras to a resurant/bar that Carly frequents. Both of them just having drink. Though plus some advertisers.
"I have to ask… So do you vampires really drink blood?" Carly asked, wearing a George Thorogood & The Destroyers T-Shirt.
"Most of us, yeah. But I got things that removes my need too." Seras explained, still wearing that hoodie.
"Well if you find Ivory Smith, you can suck as much as you need, long as it kills him." Carly replied. Seras gave a snickle but otherwise no reponse and sipped some of the white wine she had. Carly a Bud Light bottle.
"Anyway.. So you have no respect from your mom?" Seras asked, putting it back down.
"Yeah. She needs somebody to blame for her problems, guess that's me.. Not sure why.. Guess I remind her too much of Michael.. He hadn't always been the greatest father or husband, I'm not blind to that.. Anyway what about you newbie?"
"Grew up in London... Nothing happened.." Seras said nervously.
"Why did you say it like tha-"
"Can we not talk about it!" Seras cried out. And suddenly drinking the whole glass in loud gulps. Chugging it.
Carly pauses, sensing something wrong, but also knowing not to talk about it.
"... R Regardless you only been in my life 2 or 3 days, and your more of a mom than Amanda." Carly said.
Seras: Well.. I..
"All I did was save you from that ditch." Seras said modestly, taking the glass when the bartender returns with her refill.
"You saved my life, Seras.. That's more than Amanda ever would of done." Carly revealed.
Seras: Well.. I..
"Will you adopt me!?" Carly cried out suddenly.
"A -Adopt you!?" Seras cried.
"Not turn me into a vampire, but be m-"
"I know what you meant" Seras groaned annoyedly. Pouring more wine.
"Besides, Amanda can't be 'that' bad."
As if on Q, a drunk Amanda bursts into the bar, most of the bar customers turns to her due to the noise.
"M -Mom?" Carly said, suddenly a little scared.
Seras: Oh, hello th-
"You!" Amanda screams, and slaps Seras in the face.
"That's for fucking my husband!" Amand cried in her drunken state.
"Your hus ... What?" Seras asked in confusion.
Amanda slaps her again, harder now. "I saw you at my house blondie!" Amanda shouts.
"I just came to tell him I saw his daughter on the ro-"
"Bullshit!" Amanda screams, Carly pushes Amanda away.
"Fuck off Amanda! He can have attractive friends and not be cheating!"
"Watch your mouth little lady!" Amanda cried, suddenly punching Carly across the cheek, (in the background Seras widens her eyes in shock). Carly falls over, and Amanda grabs her arm.
"Your coming home to face your punishment you little shit!" Amanda cried violently in her drunken state. And starts leaving with Carly, but Seras suddenly grabs Carly herself, and shielding Carly from Amanda.
Seras: ... No.. She isn't.
"What!?" The drunk Amanda screams, making several bar customers uncomfortable.
"No, she's staying with me. You don't deserve her." Seras said.
Carly smiles to herself, she was right about Seras. Who starts leading Carly out of the resturant, away from Amanda.
Amanda's eye twitches.
"Blonde bitch!" Amanda screams and throws Carly's still half full Bud Light at Seras, who dodges it.
Seras: Hey watch i-
Amanda slaps her again.
Having had enough, Seras violently punches Amanda in the face, breaking her nose, and leaving her unconscious on the bar ground. Falling onto Carly's and Sera's table, knocking it over. The wine bottle pouring next to Amanda, making a stream near her head.
A few customers clap considering how obnoxious Amanda was being.
"That's what she gets." Seras said in tranquil fury, and pulls Carly into leaving.
Carly takes a picture on her iphone. Probably to savior the moment. It's been implied Carly had to put up with Amanda's abuse for most of her adult life.. Truthfully, it seems all the characters have been abused one way or another.. Both genders.
"If she wakes up there tomorrow, they'll at least know where she is and find her." Carly said to herself.
If you prefer slower/calmer stories, that seems to be Balor's thing.. Mine are more into the constant action of the actual game..
