BACK TO 1992:
Shortly after the big fight against Jazmine, Dash already started drinking at bars, even when she's underage (sad really). She mostly waits til the bars close and sneaks in. Eventually she runs into Kate and Packie, meeting them the first time. Kate almost immediately takes pity on her when seeing she's lost and alone and she convinces Packie to bring Dash to the house. Packie was annoyed and reluctant but in the end he does. Even though Kate and him bicker all the time, she really brings out Patrick's soft side.
Dash is brought to the house and gets along with everyone, even drug-head Derrick. Gerald, after a short week of being suspicious of her, eventually becomes somewhat of a father figure. Meanwhile the mom, Maureen, is one of the few people Dash is completely open with. And less sarcastic then she normally is. Same towards Kate.
After a week of doing small jobs for Gerry, mostly spotting for Gerry's and Packie's heists, Dash becomes an official McCreary, even by Francis, who puts it on the McReary gang wall web. Yes he has one for his own family.
Dash spends her beginning days in a motel, and when coming over this time she walked in to find Francis and Packie arguing and Packie throwing an empty beer bottle at him, which Francis just laughs at, saying his aim sucked.
Dash awkwardly knocks on the wall, to let them know she's there. Packie gets excited and even hugs her. But Francis is less welcoming. ''Packie how many times have we told you not to bring your hookers into Ma's house.''
'She's 13 asshole.'' Packie growled. ''Don't remind me, just keep it in your bedroom.'' Francis mocked. Being kinda short fused this actually angers Dash. ''What you fucking say to me?!'' she snapped, getting in Francis's face.
''Watch it bitch, I'm a cop.'' Francis snapped.
''No you're just a schmuck in uniform'' Dash mocked. Francis growls and raises up a fist but it's caught by Gerry, who simply tells Francis no fighting in the house.
"She started it" Francis complained.
"Anyway I hope she's hungry, she's just in time for dinner. Francis go get the turkey." Gerry said. Francis does so despite his anger.
"I've been waiting for this, all year.. Giving you people the bird" Francis joked as he brought over the thanksgiving turkey.
"Yes that joke gets funnier and funnier each year" Gerry said sarcastically. Derrick is also there, bending down as he's trying to hide that he's snorting heroin from a small bag. "Party time!" Derrick cried.
Suddenly a brick is thrown though the window, scaring Derrick into blindly firing his handgun, Maureen was surprisingly unfazed and Packie yells at him to stop before he and Dash run to the window, to see Jazmine flip them off and run away. She wears a skirt and a grey sweater, her blonde hair in a ponytail.
"Aw great she must of followed me or something." Dash groaned.
