One day later we are finally introduced to Gracie Ancelotti. a fake blonde Itilian, whoappears to be kind, but it's hard to say how genuine it is, as the daughter of Giovanni Ancelotti, a netourious Itiailian mob boss, Gracie is no doubt as spoiled as most people in her position usually are.
Posing as someone wanting to buy Grace's car. Niko arrives at Gracie's house in Alderney and takes the car for a "test drive". During the test drive, Gracie flirts with Niko, showing herself naive to red flags.
Once away from her neighour hood, and out of eyesight of the Ancelotti orginization, Niko finally reveals his true intentions, that he's here to kidnap her. Grace immediately drops her nice girl facade (understandable though) and starts calling Niko racist terms and saying he has a small dick, Niko mostly just ignores them.
Gracie attempts to phone her father, but Niko snatches her phone from her and throws it onto the road. She also attempts to grab the steering wheel multiple times in an attempt to throw Niko off course, or make him crash. By the third attempt Niko finally had a enough and pulls his pistol on her, a somewhat out of character moment for him, as he doesn't usually get violent towards women if he can help it.
Gracie: You're fucking with the wrong girl asshole! I'm Gracie Ancelotti and I-
Niko: (angrily punches in the face, knocking her out cold) SHUT UP!.. Peace at last.
Niko finally reaches the safe house, where he meets Packie himself, who's the one to watch over her.
"Thanks again... I'll take it from here (grabs the unconscious Gracy)" Packie said, grabbing the unconscious Gracie.
"You could have told me she was a mob daughter. " Niko replied
"All I know is we're gonna make money, and that's good enough for me." Packie replied, carrying Gracy to the lockup.
"Well he better pay quickly." Niko replied.
While Packie was off doing his thing, Niko ends up getting involved in biker Johnny Klebitz, who himself was sent to a bag of diamonds from a guy named Tony Prince. But things quickly turn violent and a lot of chaos and violence unfolds, leaving many dead but Johnny does get them, being the only one who touched them and not die immediately afterwards.
And now he and Niko are sent to a closed abandoned musuem to sell them off.
But the curse continues, and the first person Niko hands them to almost immediately gunned down by a surprise attack. It was members of the gang Johnny shot up not long ago, they came back for revenge.
Things quickly esclate into into another bloodbath, where which Johnny manages to run off with the cash, while leaving Niko to fight them. Niko, being a badass one man army, easily fights his way out, but the diamonds are taken back to Tony's men.
The next day, Niko is called back to Packie and he heads over to his green car parked just outside the place he just left him. This time the healed Dash is brought along too.
Packie: Hey Niko.. Dash.. Glad you two could make it.
Dash: Of course. Glad to finally meet to Gracie.
Gracie: (gagged swearing)
Packie: Gracie, watch your mouth. Dashie is a good friend of mine. Don't say that about her.
Gracie: (gagged) Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you!
Packie: Gracie, you're sweet. I know, I'm too good for her, but sometimes a guy has got to hang out with lowlifes like Dashie here.. She's got his uses.
Gracie: (gagged) I'll give you some fucking uses!
Packie: That's right, she is definitely a bad influence on me.
Gracie: (gagged) MOTHERFUCKER!
Niko: Boy Gracie, we should hang more often.
Packie: Hands off my woman, Bellic! Gracie and I are in love!
Gracie: (gagged) FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU!
Dash: Packie, this is great. You've finally found a woman who will sit down and listen to your crap.
Niko: Yeah, maybe you should bind and gag all the girls you meet?
Packie: That might be okay where you're from, Niko.. But this is an enlightened society we live in. U S of fuckin' A!
Niko: (sarcasm) Real enlightened.. Real civilized.. That's the impression I've got so far. An example to the rest of the world.
We now finally meet Tony Prince, who's pretending to be Giovanni, something that Gracie either naively believes at first, or simply played along.
"The bastards didn't hurt you did they?"
"She can't talk, we got a gag in her mouth!" Packie said, being the one to hold Grace.
"Give her back, you animals! She's suffered enough!" Tony ordered.
"... Hand over the stuff" Packie ordered, as he was holding the gagged Gracie.
"Hand over Gracie... I'm here for you sweetie" Tony replied.
"JUST HAND OVER THE FUCKIN STUFF!" Packie cried out angrily.
"Alright, calm down. Both of you." Niko said, acting like a peacemaker.
Tony's bodyguard, later known as Luiz, suggests they put the diamonds in the middle, than they hand over Gracie. Niko agrees and they carefully do this. Dash goes to grab the diamonds, but Niko reconsizes them to be the same ones from the muesem and stops her, saying. "Hang on.. let's be careful.. I have a bad feeling about this."
"Oh come on, we're wasting time." Dash said anxiously and breaks free of his grip. And goes over again only have a car slide over, nearly hitting her. Out of the car comes Ray Bulgarine, a old enemy of Niko's.
"Sure, show us the goods." Niko said.
"Miko Bellic, how is it that whenever something is stolen from me you are not far away?"
"I have never stolen anything from you, Mr. Bulgarin." Niko said, pulling Dash behind him, Packie grabbing her and doing the same, but even more so. Almost shielding her.
Bulgarine: These men, the big faggot and his Dominican bitch, they stole my diamonds. And you have been trying to rob the thieves. To rob me. [translated] KILL THEM ALL!
With that the area becomes surrounded by gunfire, as Russian gangsters fil the area, causing the three to jump behind Packie's car, which allows one of the men to grab the diamonds.
"I don't care what you did to that man, but we aren't leaving here without those diamonds!" Packie told Niko, as he pulled out his Glock 17 and returned fire. Niko and Dash did the same, Dash even grabbing one of dead goons's AK47 and staarted using it. Getting a good many kills.
Eventually the three shot their way to the upper level, where they cornered the man with the diamonds.
"Your the only one left! We'll let you live if you hand them over" Dash said, pointing the AK.
"I'm screwed either way. If I don't give you the diamonds, you kill me here and you take 'em. I do give you diamonds, Mr. Bulgarin kills me later. [tosses the diamonds down onto a moving garbage truck] Don't nobody have them. Screw all of you!" The unnamed man replied.
"Bad move." Dash growled and shoots him in the head, giving what looked like a third eye between the forehead.
ON THE CAR RIDE HOME:
Packie: FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!. All that trouble for nothing. Kidnapping the bitch, holding onto her, fighting through them damn Russians... all of that for jack shit.
Niko: Look on the bright side, (jokingly) at least you got to meet Gracie.
Dash: Screw that. I got close to knocking her teeth out. That was about it.
Packie: Yeah.. We ain't got shit now... Maybe we was going to have to give up them diamonds to fucking Ray Boccino but we woulda got a payday. Now we ain't getting SHIT!
Niko: Yeah, but there is no guarantee we woulda made any money out of those diamonds anyway. I've got a suspicion those were the ones Ray Boccino got me to handle a while back. They're bad luck. Me and some biker had to try to sell them to a diamond dealer and it turned into a bloodbath... That was when those friends of Gracie's must have gotten them.
Packie: Stolen them from you, did they?
Niko: No, they stole them from the guys I sold them to... Shit, these diamonds have been trouble since Ray first made me take them out of a trash can for him. Is good they are on their way to a landfill somewhere. Best place for them. The population of Liberty City would have been higher if we had.
Dash: You might be right, Nicky. Whose fucking diamonds were they anyway!?
Niko: They were not Ray's, I can tell you this much. Maybe they belong to this homosexual man, Gracie's friend. I don't know. Maybe to Bulgarin.
Packie: Bulgarin, he the motherfucker who busted up our peaceful hostage exchange!? What in Christ's name went on back there anyways?!
Niko: Some time ago, I worked for Mr. Bulgarin in Europe, smuggling people across the Adriatic. A ship sunk, the cargo sunk to the bottom of the sea, I had to swim for my life. Bulgarin lost a lot of money that night and he needed someone to blame. This was one of the reasons I left Europe and came back here to Liberty City.
Dash: And now he shows up claiming the ice belongs to him?
Packie: What are the chances?
Niko: Our paths crossed back when I was living in Hove Beach as well. My cousin and I moved up to Bohan to get away from him and another man called Dimitri Rascalov.
Packie: That's a real shame, I can see you fitting right down in Hove Beach... Probably a good thing you got out though. Wouldn't meet me if you'd stayed, would ya?
Niko: When you put it like this, I'm one lucky motherfucker, Packie.
