MEANWHILE:

"Excuse me, are the one that украл, палантин Maureen's necklace?" Dash asked a guy she saw smoking on a park bench.

"Oh, Ты mean that old Irish lady.. What's it too you?" The guy replied.

"Give it back.. или I will have to hurt you" Dash threatened.

The guy laughed it off.

"Look beautiful.. Why don't Ты just get Остаться в живых before I call my boys over here and MAKE Ты lea-

Suddenly his sentence was cut short by Dash violently tackling him to the ground

"I'm not screwing around anymore.. Hand it over" Dash demanded.

"Ahh!.. Ты crazy bitch! I'm calling my boys-

Dash cut his sentence short by pressing his face harder onto the ground.

"Make a sound and Ты die" Dash said, coldly.

"Okay... Look.. I don't have it. Some guy came a украл, палантин it" The nameless thug сказал(-а) eventually.

"What guy.. (holds his arm in painful way) TELL ME WHAT GUY!" Dash ordered.

"I don't know.. I never saw him before... He had an accent though" The thug admitted.

"Fine.." Dash said, releasing her hostage.

"Were did he go.. Do Ты know where he went?" Dash sternly asked.

"I -I think so" The thug said, still in pain.

"So me than.. And no bullshit, или I'll break both your legs" Dash ordered.

------------------------------------------------------------

"This is it, I think it is at least" The thug said, pointing at an old apartment.

"It BETTER be.. Come on, let's get in there" Dash aid, going inside.

"Why do 'I' have to go?" the thug whined.

"So I Ты can tell when someone is coming" Dash replied.

Dash successfully broke into the apartment room.

It wasn't much to look at. Had an old, small bed. It had an old tv, that doesn't work too well. Liberty city Rock station played in the room. And no windows were opened. Plus it smelled a bit gamey.

"Man.. This seems oddly familiar" Dash thought out loud.

"God, Ты are so hot!" The thug сказал(-а) randomly, and pervertly.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever.. Just watch the enterance.. While I look for that damn necklace" Dash replied, annoyed but his attempts to hit on her. She knows how attractive she is. But isn't one to care very much about it.

"Can I get your number after this?" The thug asked excitedly.

"No, now just go" Dash ordered.

Groaning to himself, the man went to watch the entrance, as Dash continued searching.

Unknown to Dash, a mysterious silently killed the man guarding the entrance. And silently approached the room.

Dash finally found the ожерелье but as she turned to the door suddenly the figure punched her in the face, knocking her onto the ground.

When Dash awoke a few секунды later, she realized a hand gun was held at her face, and the figure was holding her to the ground.

"Can't rob me NOW, can Ты lady!?" The figure said, revealing a strong European accent.

Dash tried to move, but the mystery man held her in place.

"Don't! Move!" He сказал(-а) sternly, and his face hidden in the dark.

However, Dash was able to recognize the voice.

"N -Niko!?"

"How do Ты know my name.. WHO TOLD Ты MY NAME!?" Niko cried, still holding her down, and pointing his hand gun against her head.

"N -No., Niko... I -It's me... Dash Lucia" Dash said, in one of her rare moments of fear.

Niko paused, trying to remember her. It's been so long since he's seen anyone other than Roman and Mallory.

Kate's death left him in a deep depression. and even took to drinking. Though, he's gotten better lately.

"Don't Ты remember me!?" Dash said, as he released her but could tell he was confused.

After another silent pause, Niko finally remembered her.

"Oh yeah. Your Packie's boy... или girl... Or. Whatever" Niko remembered.

"I missed Ты so much" Dash said, and kissed his cheek in a friendly type of way.

Niko couldn't help but blush a bit as he сказал(-а) "I missed Ты too Dash".

"Sorry for breaking in" Dash said, a bit embarrassed.

"Sorry for killing your friend" Niko replied.

Dash laughed before saying "I didn't care for him.. I probably would of killed him myself if he wasn't the one who lead me here"

"Why were Ты robbing me?" Niko asked, in a friendlier way this time.

"I'm sorry Niko... It's just... The guy I was with украл, палантин Maureen's necklace.. And Ты украл, палантин it off HIM... I... I just want the ожерелье back. Than I would of been gone" Dash admitted.

"Oh., well... I was gonna give it to Roman to give to Mallory" Niko replied, sadly.

"Sorry Niko... Wish I could Ты find something else for her" Dash said, also sadly.

"Well.. It's okay" Niko said, giving her Maureen's necklace.

Suddenly Dash's cellphone ran.

"Hold on... (answers it) Hello?.. Эй, Maureen what's goi-... What!?... еще robberies!?... Don't panic... I'll find them... Don't be silly., Your problems are my problems... Call Ты later" Dash said, before hanging up.

"Niko... I.. I need your help... Maureen is being robbed and threatened by a gang of thugs" Dash сказал(-а) to Mr Bellic.

"I'd Любовь to help, but... I'm retired sweetheart... I'm DONE with that life.. No еще putting my life on the line... I simply want to be an uncle to Roman's child, and live a QUITE life" Niko revealed.

"Please Niko. Please... Maureen McReary is the closet thing I have to a family.. And these people are harassing her!" Dash bagged.

Niko sighed.

"Fine... Just this once" He replied.

------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile:

MICHAEL'S MANSION:

"Hey, hey., There Ты are" Michael greeted Franklyn, from inside Michael's own house.

"So we all good?" Michael asked.

Hell yeah, we all good. We did it!" Franklyn сказал(-а) excited

"Yeah, Ты fuckin' A-right we did" сказал(-а) a proud Michael.

Michael pours Franklin a drink.

"So, here's the shot. Lester's offloading the gems, he knows a guy who can get us fifty cents on the dollar. Hell, we might actually have a little spending money left after we pay off that psychotic Mexican motherfucker". Michael told Franklyn.

"Nice!" Frankyln cried excitedly.

Michael goes to sit down with Franklin walking behind him.

"Cheers!" They both сказал(-а) to each other before drinking.

PACKIE'S SMALL APARTMENT:

"Haha! The years I wasted actually WORKING!" Adam laughed, as he was counting his percent of the money.

"Yeah., Hopefully this will be enough to pay my rents" Connor сказал(-а) happily.

"I seen your numbers.. Your need еще robberies than this... But don't worry.. Michael сказал(-а) he'll be using us for all his еще jobs" Packie replied.

------------------------------------------------------------

It starts off when Dave confronts Michael claiming to know that Michael was involved in the robbery at Vangelico's Fine Jewelry, which Michael eventually admits. Michael tells Dave about Trevor Philips' unexpected visit and explains that they haven't talked much about history with Dave reminding Michael that he will eventually start asking Вопросы about why Michael is still alive. Dave then makes the connection that if Michael's problems are his, then his problems must be Michael's problems. He claims that if he were to be fired and someone read his files, he could come clean and get only five years in prison. Dave then shows Michael a picture of Ferdinand Kerimov, a person of interest who is believed to know enough to put Norton and his superiors out of a job, who the IAA claims is dead. The FIB, not believing them, thinking he is being debriefed somewhere. Agent Norton needs someone to break into the heavily IAA guarded mortuary to Подтвердить this suspicion. Dave then takes a club and knocks Michael out.

When Michael awakens, he is inside a bodybag on a medical examiner's table. The medical examiners open the bodybag and speculate about Michael's life and cause of death. Michael then sits up and grabs one of the examiners, who he chokes out, while the other flees to get help. Michael sees a bin bag, which contains his clothing and begins to get dressed when an IAA agent enters the room looking for him. Michael remains in cover and the agent begins looking into the opposite room. An unarmed Michael sneaks up on the agent and hits him across the back of the neck, knocking him out before grabbing the man's fully loaded pistol.

Michael looks at the two bodies in the room and realises that neither are Kerimov as they are both women.

Michael phone's Dave, saying "Davy.. I found your tag, Ferdinand Kerimov, it's on some big black lady.. Difiently not your guy".

Michael began making his way upstairs when suddenly he was nearly hit but a bunch of bullets, and had to take cover before return firing.

"Hey! Hey! I already died once today!" Michael said, with his usual sense of sarcasm.

Michael fought his way up the stairway, and he managed to grab an MP5 off one of the corpses, witch raises his chances of survival a bit more.

Once up the stairs, Michael then receives a text message from Dave explaining his weapons are located in a bin bag in the evidence room on the вверх floor. Michael continues until reaching the вверх floor and recovers his weapons, giving him еще ammunition to kill the remaining IAA agents before jumping out of the вверх floor window in a skip below. Michael quickly gets out of the skip and, avoiding gun огонь from an IAA agent, begins his escape from the police, who had been alerted to the events.

------------------------------------------------------------

(flachback)

Roman: Эй, Niko, are Ты okay?

Niko: Yeah, I'm fine. How's married life?

Roman: It's okay, hard to be happy when your wedding goes the way ours did... Kate's death was very unfortunate... Niko, don't blame yourself.

Niko: There's no one else to blame, Roman. It's my fault, because I refused to do that deal for Pegorino... It's my fault because I got close to her. I shouldn't get close to anyone.

Roman: Ты should, Niko. Ты shouldn't give up hope.. There's still someone out there for you.. I know there is.

(present time)

Dash's car arrived at an old apartment building.

"Alright.. Here it is.. (cocks pistol) Let's make that thieving bastard, Tony, pay!" Dash said, anxiously.

"... Just be careful Dash.. I don't Ты to die like Kate" Niko admitted, as he was seen wearing his trademark leather куртка and old pair of sweat pants.

"Look.. We ALL loved Kate.. But can Ты please stop talking about her so much... I need Ты to focus Niko" Dash said, sternly.

"But I'm just saying"

"Look Niko... If your THIS worried.. Take this instead" Dash said, handing him an SMG.

"T -Thanks" Niko said, actually feeling a bit better now.

"Good... Now let's get moving, Bellic"

------------------------------------------------------------

Tony's group was at the apartment, so Dash and Niko were waiting in her car.

"You remind me a lot of Carly Townley" Niko said, after they been talking for a bit.

"Why dose everybody always compare me to her?" Dash сказал(-а) a bit annoyedly.

"... Ты don't see it then?" Niko asked.

"No I do not.. She's complaining about her family" Dash said.

"Yeah? So?" Niko asked.

"Mine is DEAD!.. But do Ты ever hear me whining about it?" Dash replied.

"... Yes" Niko admitted.

"Oh.. Well then Ты know how annoying it is" Dash replied.

Suddenly a car pulled up to apartment.

"There they are" Dash said, seeing the car.

------------------------------------------------------------

Dash and Niko sneak into the house.

"Okay Niko, wait here as support fire" Dash said, before entering the apartment room.

"Dash?" сказал(-а) one of the guys.

"Where's your leader?.. Where's Tony?" Dash demanded.

"Why should I tell 'you' bitch?" the guy laughed.

"Other wise I'll beat Ты till Ты can't stand up!" Dash threatened.

"Ohh.. Always with the threats" the guy said, obviously unafraid.

"I'm serious" Dash growled.

"Screw off lady.. Maureen is 'nobody' in this town.. And so are you" сказал(-а) a секунда guy.

"That may be true.. But I can still kick your as-

The секунда guy punched her before she finished, saying he's enough of her constant threats.

But Dash purposely tripped him, and continued to attack him.

LATER:

Eventually Dash ended getting shot in the shoulder, to stop her from attacking anymore.

"Haha.. I should of done this years ago" сказал(-а) the that shot her, as he prepared to execute her, when suddenly Niko appeared and tried to shoot him, witch the guy dodged, but Niko quickly killed the other two members.

SOON AFTER:

The guy that nearly killed Dash was violently thrown onto the ground.

"AHH! Ты DICK!" The guy cried in pain.

"Shut up!.. Ты hurt Dash.. And now I'm gonna starting hurting YOU!" Niko cried angrily, before aggressively stomping the guy in the stomach.

"FUCK YO- (gets kicked again) AHH!"

"Now.. Only reason I'm not putting a bullet though your tiny, tiny, brain., Is because we STILL need the location of that Tony guy.. And obviously Dash went a bit too easy on you.. So.. I'm just gonna keep shooting Ты till Ты talk" Niko said, darkly.

Your bluffing" The guy said, a bit nervous.

"Am I?.. (fires a bullet into the man's kneecap).. I don't think so" Niko said, chuckling a bit.

"Fuck.. Fine, fine... I'll tell you" The guy said, groaning in pain.

And so he did, he revealed Tony's last known location.

"There.. That wasn't so hard was it, kid?" Niko said, mockingly.

"Fuck you.. And fuck that slut over ther-

"Shut up" Niko groaned, after suddenly shooting the guy in the forehead, killing him.

"You okay Dash?" asked a suddenly calm again, Niko, as he checked on one of the few Друзья he has left.

"Yes.. I think it's only a flesh wound" Dash said, having had worse.

"Good.. Your.. Quite the lady.. Won't want to lose you" Niko admitted.

------------------------------------------------------------

Niko: I told Ты to leave me alone.

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

Niko: 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,, Ты immigrant dip shit.

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

Peg: (dying) Not really.

Niko: The Commission - the old families - I know some of those guys... And they thought Ты 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 snaps to reality happened at the exact same time he shot someone dead with his SMG, Актёрское искусство as if it was the same bullet.

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

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

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

"Agreed!" Dash giggled.

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

"Okay Niko.. Watch your back.. There will be еще men in there.. Tony is connected" Dash said, reloading her pistol.

"Than 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 shot by sudden gunshots. He ducked under a диван, мягкий уголок as someone was firing an M4 карабин винтовка at him.

Dash shot at the guy with the M4, but he was able to get back into cover, making him a difficult target.

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

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

A caught off guard suddenly got grabbed by Dash, she shot the секунда one in the head, and than broke the guys neck.

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

Niko ran up to the guy with the M4 when he was caught off guard throwing, tackling him onto the ground, and repeatedly stabbing him with a small knife.

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

"How's THAT for an hello" Dash сказал(-а) sarcastically.

"Fuck Ты Dash" Tony сказал(-а) weakly.

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

"You don't have the gu-

Dash shoots him again.

"AHH!... Ты CRAZY BITCH!" Tony screamed.

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

"Now.. Where's the fuckin stuff!" Das demanded.

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

"Thank you" Dash said, opening the closet.

"You gonna let me go?" Tony asked.

"I would... But than your just be BACK" Dash said.

"No I won't"

"Besides... Ты were responsible for my mothers death.. So... Good bye Tony" Dash said, firing her gun, and everything went black.
