M1 Garand

--Chapter #2-- -1986: Tommy was out & on parole. It was great to see him. A couple days later Sonny Forelli sends Tommy & 2 other guys down south to Vice City. Sonny wanted Tommy to purchase some drugs, for the gang to sell, but the deal went south & Tommy had to stay down their longer than we thought. -1987: -February 12th: Within 2 days the city received 3 ½ feet of snow. Staxx drove me to a meeting w/Sonny. The meet took place @ a Forelli hangout place in the Red Light District. Sonny told me that as of October, I would be in charge of his “Card Game” on Front Street (Right across from my father’s bakery). During the drive back to my apartment, we were ambushed a Leone Family Hit Squad. Staxx’s ’43 Hustler was crippled by the M-16 & M-60 gunfire. If it wasn’t for the bullet proof cot pit we would be dead. The cops were paid off, so there was no help from them & we were traveling through St. Marks, so… We bailed out & ran into a deli. The bad thing was that it had no back or side exit. I wasn’t armed & Staxx only had his Desert Eagle w/2mags. The hit squad was a 6 man team. 3 guys carried M-16s, 1 guy had a M-60, & the other 2 guys had Uzis. Just before the hit team unloaded their guns into the store I found a hidden passage. Staxx led the way & I followed him. The passage started in the storage room & ended @ a safe house on Jennings Ave (Near the Ammu-Nation in Portland). The safe house was occupied by the Leone gang. We exited the pantry & quietly searched for an exit. Meanwhile, the hit squad knew where we were & phoned the safe house. Staxx hid me in the bathroom while he took care of the situation. The only thing that I heard was the gunshots from Staxx gun & the sound of bodies falling. In all I heard 12 gunshots & 12 bodies fall down to the floor. Though, during the gunfight the phone rang & I heard a guy in the room above me answer it. Then I heard the 12th guy get shot & fall to the floor. Staxx yelled to me to get the keys from the kitchen table & meet him in the garage. There was a Leone Sentinel parked in the garage, we left & we got back to my place safely. Staxx had stashed the Sentinel in a storage garage in Newport, Staunton. -June: Tommy was really creating havoc down south. So Sonny & 50 or so hit men fly down their to reason w/Tommy. I know Tommy better then that schmuck, Sonny Forelli. It was Tommy against the Farelli Family. Once the news of Sonny’s death hit home the Leone Family made its move against the Forelli gang territories. In the end of the 2 month battles, the Leone Family had won back their gang territories & kicked the Farelli Family out of Portland. It was @ that time that I left the Forelli Family, because I had no one to answer to, no boss, and no nothing. I had lost most everything. I lost my car, my apartment & my mother due to a brutal mugging. I had her buried @ Portland Veterans Cemetery. -August 2nd: I get a phone call from Tommy. He wanted me to be his best man @ his wedding. He sent a plane to pick up Staxx & I. Staxx had agreed to watch over me from now on. We arrived @ Escorbar International Airport & were picked up by a Maverick helicopter & were flown to the rooftop helipad @ 1102 Washington Street, Washington Beach. It is one of a few apartment complexes that Tommy owns. Staxx & I got our own separate penthouse their. Tommy gave us a security detail, but they were more like babysitters/prison guards, because Tommy wasn’t sure if we were still the same people he knew from the past. -November: By now Tommy had seen that we were not a threat to him/his family. We caught-up on old times, & talked about the future. -December 2nd: Staxx was killed by a hit N’ run driver, on 0034 Ocean Blvd. He was 65 years old. Big Mitch Baker’s gang found the punk who killed Staxx. Tommy drove me down to the junkyard where the punk was being held. The guy said “I’m not F***k’en sorry that I killed some poor old man. I probably did him a favor.” My anger was @ its boiling point, & he continued to say; “I move for no one, that old basturd was in my way, so….” WHACK!!! WHACK!!! WHACK!!! WHACK!!!........ (I just lost it. I kept hitting that punk ass guy) Tommy was shocked!! He had never seen me use violence before. To be honest, that was my first time. Never in the past had I been/used violence before. The punk was barely breathing by the time I had stopped. I stood up, looked @ Tommy, & looked back into the punk’s bloody eyes. With out notice, Tommy pulled his Colt .45 (from his shoulder holster) & shouted “FOR PAPIE STAXX MOTHA’ f**KER”! BOOM!!!!! With one shot, Tommy had killed the punk. -February 1st 1988: Staxx’s Will was dealt with. Apparently Tommy was to inherit everything that Staxx owned. The List: 1. His apartment 2. His money (A Million Dollars) 3. His car (A Forelli Express) 4. His storage garage belongings & 5. Everything else that he owned. The Placement: Tommy sold Staxx’s apartment & had only what furnishing that he wanted shipped to him & sold the rest. Tommy gave my half of the Million Dollars & gave the other half to Mercedes. Tommy had the Sentinel & the Express destroyed. Tommy had all of the weapons from Staxx’s storage garage shipped to him. Tommy asked me if I wanted anything of Staxx’s stuff. I said “sure”! I took the Desert Eagle, the machete w/belt-looped sheath, the Ruger, & the deed to the Newport Pay N’ Spray. -July 3rd: I had set-up Tommy’s bachelor party @ the Pole Position, nothing’ to fancy, just a private strip party featuring Bangkok Betty, Mandy Melons, & Sunshine Sandy. -July 4th: The wedding was spectacular. The wedding & reception both took place @ the Vercetti Mansion. My wedding present to them was a new state-of-the-art, secure Mansion. The Details: 1. Two more acres than there existing nine acres. 2. A 15,000sqft Mansion. 3. A riding stable. 4. Half stone/gravel half paved driveway w/a two story parking garage, attached to the mansion. 5. A new ten ft. high steel/concrete wall, used as the property/perimeter wall. 6. A two acre wooded Fun Park. An off road adventure trail. 7. A small runway w/hanger attached to the mansion. 8. A new U shaped bay. The demolition of the old mansion was scheduled for January 1st 1991. I & Tommy’s top officers spent about a year arranging all the extra security for 3 safe houses for the Vercetti Family. The main house would was their Elswanko Casa, but we made preparations for them @ Links View Apartments, + we had Mercedes old place converted into a canal patrol station w/a Sea Sparrow on the Helipad. We named the base “The watch N’ pad”. April 7th 1989: I bought a small house for myself located @ 20 Clad Shack Lane, Washington Beach. The house was a nice but small place. It had a total of 1400sqf of living space. The garage was not attached to the house. It was a safe neighborhood, safe enough for me to have my Godchildren over w/no guards. October 17th 1990: Tommy & Mercedes made me Godfather to all three of their kids. (Over the years I tried to be there for them & do thing they wanted to do, but eventually Chris & Joseph just didn’t want to do a lot of things w/me. On the other hand, V loved to see me & loved spending time w/me)

I can't but I wish someone could too?!

The Vercettis gave us a house w/a helipad in Paradiso San Fierro, San Andreas. The Tokmi family gave us protection, love & money. Tommy thought about expanding his business into San Andreas. He knew of a guy in the Eastern Basin Port, that I might like to do business with. -July 15th Naomi & I fly to our new vacation home in Paradiso, San Fierro for our honey moon. Mansion details: 1. It was a newly constructed house, designed by Tommy & Avery. It’s a 2 story house on top of a hill, surrounded by 12 foot tall Iron gates, & has about an acre of property. The house has approximately 30000squft of space. (The Mansion interior is mostly like the safe house CJ has in Prickle Pine, only w/more rooms) 2.

With-in min. the City’s Port Authority, Police, FBI & the National Guard were on the scene & had the city’s other bridge & tunnels on lockdown. --Love Media posted an emergency message on all its networks i.e., TV, Radio, Web Sites & News Papers, saying that the Callahan Bridge was destroyed & that the city’s transit system would be on lockdown until further notice. (The city shut down all non-commercial traffic to all three Islands. The Commercial traffic would have to be checked before it could use the bridge or Tunnels between the three islands.)— For a while, Naomi & I went to work as usual. October 17th 2000: Joseph’s & Veronica’s 16th birthday bash. Naomi & I arrive @ the Casino @ 1:00am. Wow! That’s all I can say about the party. We gave the birthday teens the new ’01 Manchez bike gta:??? The next day we flew back home to Liberty City. -November 20th: I met with “Lips” @ for lunch @ St. Marks Bistro. Mike “Lips” was one my friends from the old days. We talked about “me” coming back to the “family”. Frankly, I didn’t want back in, but the Forellis did. We talked & ate for about an hour ½, until Mike got a call. He told me he had to run, so I told him I’ll pay for lunch. We decided that we would meet back here tomorrow. Sadly that would never happen! As Lips turned on his ignition, his car blew-up. I quickly paid, ran out the door, took the bus (Coach) to the Portland Docks, & ran back to my office. That night I told Naomi what had happened. We decided that we were not to have any more contact w/the Forelli Family. I had only one other old friend from the old days, but I decided not to contact him. For the next few weeks I had a high demand from business partners wanting Liberty City Emergency Vehicles. So I opened my private “channels” to spread the word that I was going to pay a lot of dough to anyone who was willing to get them to me. -December: We hosted our 1st Christmas party @ our penthouse. -Dec. 4th: A cargo conversion AT-400 landed @ Francis International Airport.

They had the other half of Belleville Park, Newport, part of Liberty Campus, & a part of Aspartria. -& The Cartel had parts of Aspartria, parts of Liberty Campus, Fort Staunton, Bedford, & Cedar Grove. -South Side Hoods had Wichita Gardens. That Intel came from a LCPD Gang Unit report, which had been made available to the public. February 29th 1999: W/the help of my future father-in-law, we began to have my Penthouse remodeled. March 31st 1999: Naomi & I move back into our newly remodeled penthouse. The New name of the hotel is “The Staxx Plaza Hotel” The Details: -We own the last 3 floors @ the top of the Complex. Each floor is 1 full penthouse. The bottom 1 penthouse is for rent & for family/friends to visit. Our floor is the top 2 floors. We had the roof of the building re-enforced. The roof houses 2 helicopter hangers’ w/2 helipads. It also has a Japanese style garden. Our top 2 floors are 4500SQF. The Master Bedroom w/Master Bath is on the top floor. The top floor is half of a floor though. This floor also has our private activity room. As you walk down the white marble floor hallway from the Master Bedroom doorway, you come to a white tinted pleaxy glass railing that overlooks down to the next floor. A wide Indigo carpeted spiral staircase leads down to the next floor. The staircase leads into a living room w/a cathedral ceiling. The living room has several big glass windows leading to the top floor ceiling, to give a great amount of light. This floor is mainly open w/ a few walled rooms. This floor has a 500SQF kitchen w/eating area, a dinning room, a hang out, a conference room & @ the other end it houses the employee wing. -The Employee Wing has 2 bed rooms, a bunkroom, his & hers bath room, a security guard office, a small armory, & a private express elevator that leads to the underground garage. The elevator runs on its own power system located on the roof. The elevator also can only be run by the turn of a personal key. The elevator also has safety features as well. The first bedroom is for the 2 maids & the other is for the cook/butler. The bunkroom holds 6 guards. We have a total of 12 guards for us & another 100 guards for the building. Our guards have three shifts of three men each. One guard protects Naomi & 2 protect me. Naomi only needs one basically because she works in a safe gang controlled area. June 1st 1999: 30 Vercetti guards land @ Francis International Airport. They are watched by my new allies, the Yakuza. The Yakuza has established a safe haven for my friends. The Vercetti family is to stay @ my now half owed apartment complex. June 7th 1999: The Vercetti Family was getting packed & ready for a month long vacation in Liberty City. -5:00pm: They landed @ the airport. -6:00pm: They landed @ my hotel’s roof helipad. -6:30pm: They were all settled in their rented (free of charge), penthouse. Once the kids were settled & unpacked, Tommy & Mercedes walked up to our guest entrance of our penthouse. (We use the private service elevator to get to the other levels.) -7:00pm: Tommy & Mercedes signed our guest book as they entered. We greeted them @ the door. We gave them the grand tour of our home. I brought Tommy to my office & we talked for till dinner time. -8:12pm: Dinner was served. My godchildren joined us as well. -June 8th 12:00pm: Tommy I drove to the cemetery to visit my mother. We both said our peace. As I was sitting on the bench near my mother’s grave, Tommy saw a man who looked like my father. The man was slowly walking back towered his car. Tommy approached the man & said “Bob, Is it you?” The man turned around & quietly replied “Yes, Tommy! Yes.” I walked over & Bob said “My boys!! My beautiful Sons!!! I have been waiting for this moment for years.” Tommy & I looked @ each other & we sat down on a near by bench. My father told Tommy & me that we are brothers. @ First we thought that my father was joking, but that was not the issue. Apparently our father married an Italian woman named Marie Vercetti back in 1946, after he was discharged from the army. They lived in a small apartment above the bakery our father owned. After Marie died in 1958, Tommy was given his mother’s name due to the fact that our father way Irish. Our father thought it would be better if Tommy had a real Italian name instead of his Irish Italian one. (O’ Stevens) Then 3 months later our father sent Tommy to live w/his best friend Papie Staxx because our father was in trouble w/the Diablo’s. Then our father told us that in 1959 he met an exotic dancer named “Dolly”. They eventually dated for a while. He said “& one day she came to my bakery & said that she was pregnant & that it was mine. I just couldn’t get married again so I set her up w/some cash & an apartment above the now Pay N’ Spray. (She used to live w/a roommate in a Shit hole)” He added “Even though I didn’t marry you mother that didn’t mean that I didn’t care for her.” Our father told me then that he was @ the hospital when she was giving birth & that on my birth certificate it said that he was my father. He attended all my birthday celebrations up until I was 4 years old. After that, my mom thought that it would be to confusing for me if my father was only here on my birthdays. But now that I think back, Bob (my father) was always kind to me gave me little gifts when I went by the bakery, which was daily. -4:00pm: We drove our father back to his apartment in the red light district. We put our father in bed & told him that we’d be back the next day. -8:00pm: @ diner Tommy & I told our “girls” that we met our father & told them the whole story. July 10th, 12:00pm Tommy, Mercedes, V, Chris, Joseph, Naomi, & me drove to Portland to meet our father. But when we got there no-one answered. So we waited there for about an hour until finally someone from across the way, asked us if we were here to see Mr. O’ Stevens. We said yes! He said that he collapsed on his front steps that morning & died of a massive stroke. Tommy & I (alone) drove down to the morgue & had reservations for him to be buried next to our mothers. (Oddly enough, my mother & Tommy’s mother were both buried next to each other)

Chapter #8 July 4th 1998: We spent most of the day @ the beach. It was a hot day. The temperature rose to 101 degrees. We went jet skiing & kayaking. For lunch we ate @ the “Vice Beach Wreck”, a beachside restaurant. That knight we walked down the beach pathway & stopped @ a pavilion. We climbed the steps to the top & then sat on a bench & watched the fireworks show. The show lasted about 25min. It felt a bit eerie sitting there. Then we heard a bunch of punk teens walking up the steps as we were kissing. We decided to ignore them & enjoy the moment, but the teens had other Ideas. Two of these heavily tattooed teens held me down while the others were about to rape Naomi. I threatened the teens. I told them “you’ll be sorry”. That’s when one teen whipped out a switchblade knife, & sliced me across the forehead & chest. I screamed out in pain, but no one could hear me due to the fireworks. Tommy had 12 guards attached to us for security reasons, but there were only 1 or 2 actual guards w/us @ one time. The others were near by, on standby. That fateful night we had only one guard w/us, & he was standing @ the bottom of the pavilion. Meanwhile I was bleeding & screaming & Naomi was terrified. As two other teens were about to rape Naomi, guard 1 thought that something was up, so he called for backup. As backup was arriving, guard 1 was @ the top of the stairs & drew his pistol. The bad thing though was that as he turned the corner he was stabbed in the face by a knife & laid dead on the floor. One of the teens then picked up the gun. By the time that teen had picked up the gun, he was bleeding from 7 bullet wounds fired from guards 2 & 3. The cops were notified by the guards that there was a gun fight between them (a private security firm) & a local gang on pavilion #6, & that we need an ambulance. Once that one teen was lying there dead on the floor, the other teens stopped what ever they were doing & “assumed the position”. Luckily all this happened in a time of about 3-4min, & Naomi wasn’t harmed. I was rushed to the hospital & I was given 12 stitches for my slash on my chest & 7 stitches for the slash on my forehead, & I was released from the hospital that same night. July 5th Friday: We went back to the beach & we had our own “Open Airflow” Cabana, on a medium sized dune near the lighthouse. Our guards had 2 Patriots (for a getaway) in case we were in danger, near by. It was a beautiful day; the sun was out, there was a slight breeze, we had our own private get-a-way & our own waiter/servant for the day @ the beach. Between 2:00pm & 4:00pm, we barrowed an unarmed “Launch” (a navy seal go-fast boat) from a near Vercetti waterway HQ & went for a ride. We were being closely watched by the Vercetti Family, though. Since we had most of our belongings w/us we decided that we would drive the Launch to the Mansion & see our Friends. When we got close we saw Tommy & Mercedes on their yacht, cruising. We continued to the outer beach of the Vercetti bay. When we beached the boat we were welcomed by the “Vercetti Welcoming Committee”, LOL. No, the Vercetti Welcoming Committee is not a friendly bunch that you want to be confronted by when you’re not invited or not known by them. Let’s just say that they almost greeted us w/open arms. LOL (in this case the phrase open arms refers to the open fire command or just shoot & ask a question or two later) If it wasn’t for our guards, I would not be here telling you this. -4:30pm: After we were given clearance to roam the estate grounds, we started to walk down the beach, down the pathway & to the riding stables & that’s when we encountered Christopher being a little to friendly to a girl his age. She is the daughter of on of the mansion’s servants. Christopher told us not to tell his dad, & so we agreed. They were secretly seeing each other for about a month. We decided that it was time to return to our Cabana @ the beach, so we drove back to the Vercetti HQ & returned the boat. We took our Admiral & drove back to the Cabana & enjoyed the beach until 6:30pm -7:00pm: We returned to our suite to shower & get dressed for a night out. -8:30pm: I opened the car door for Naomi, she said “Thanks darling”. I said “your welcome, Honey”. I walked around to my side of the car & we drove off to a steakhouse for diner. After we ate we decided to go clubbing, so we drove over to I love The 80’s, a nightclub that Tommy owns. We danced ‘till we dropped. I noticed a guy slip Naomi a date rape drug, as I got up & gave chase Naomi downed her Tequila On Rocks. As I confronted the gentleman I felt extremely lightheaded & dizzy. I turned around & saw two guys escorting my now drugged love, to the parking lot were I was being helped to as well. @ The time I thought that we were be escorted by he Vercetti Guards, but that wasn’t the case. Naomi & I were unconscious by the time we were put into a waiting Pony. (A type of van) I woke up alone in a room & handcuffed to a pipe on a wall. The room looked like an old boiler room. It was/ I was down in a big pit area. I noticed a steep staircase leading to the upper floor. I started to shout for help. A minute later 4 men walk into the room from a small office. Immediately, I knew who they were. They were a Forelli Hit Squad from Liberty City. One of them said”you brought this upon yourself, Robert Schmitt”. I replied by asking” what do you mean?” He continued to say”by being connected with the traitor Tommy Vercetti, you’re a traitor to us as well. Only after you left Liberty City for a vacation did we get the order to kill you.” I demanded to know where Naomi was. “Oh, you must mean the whore!” the guy said. “She’s being sent to a new friend of the Forelli family to be sold to the highest bidder”, he added. -1:00am: Just before I was to of been shot to death, the service door to the building was blown down by an explosion. This gave me a few more seconds of hope until I was to be killed. As three of the hit men turned around to aim @ the staircase leading to the main floor the other hit man took aim @ me & just before he pulled the trigger I yanked a steam pipe off & a blast of hot steam shot into his face. Just after that a flash bang grenade was thrown down to us. 4 groups of 6 men & women dressed in full swat gear rushed the pit. It was Tommy & some of his boys who rescued me. Tommy said that Mercedes & my boys were going to rescue Naomi. By the time Tommy dropped me off back @ the Club, Naomi was already their waiting. We were both unharmed. We hugged & kissed. We drove back to our hotel & cuddled until we fell asleep. July 10th 1998: After another couple of days @ the beach we decided to pack up & return to the Vercetti Mansion. -5:55pm: We arrived back @ the mansion. I took us 2 hours to travel back, due to traffic & bridge construction. -6:10 to 11:00pm: After we settled in our room, we prepared for dinner w/the Vercetti Family. Dinner was great. It was like having dinner @ a expensive restaurant, because you could order anything you wanted from a menu & the chiefs would cook it for you. I can’t remember what I or Naomi had, but we both remember that it was delicious. After dinner we all gathered in the upstairs family room. Tommy & I watch the world news on a TV, Naomi & Mercedes chatted about girl stuff, & the kids played some sort of game. Sometime between 11:30pm-12:00am: Naomi & I retired to our room. Our room is like the Presidents suite, Honeymooners suite, & the VIP suite all wrapped into on suite. It’s got a King size bed, a mini bar, a large 2 person hot-tub, a large 12 person marble bath-tub/Jacuzzi, a big bathroom, a walk-in closet, a living room w/full entertainment system, & a balcony w/lounge chairs. We made love that night. Oh, I do so remember that night. We were animals! Huh, well enough said. August 3rd 1998: After several weeks vacationing in Vice City, Naomi & I decided to go back home. I had lost my Gambling Hall, but I still own an Import/Export Terminal & 2 Pay N’ Sprays. + Naomi has her job; she now works for her father who is a Captain for the Yakuza Syndicate, as an Executive of his Software Company. The fallowing Tuesday, Naomi drove to work @ 2557 E1st, in Torrington. That was her first day. That night I didn’t go home! I was taken @ gun point, by the Yakuza. I had a long face to face meeting w/Naomi’s father, Ti Tokmi. Ti didn’t speak much English, so Naomi’s brother had to do all the translations. I had never met her brother either. His name is Marc. He is the floor manager for the Kenji Casino. The end result was that I properly asked Mr. Tokmi, for his daughter’s hand in marriage. He eventually agreed. Oh, Yah! He also said “Robert!! If you harm my daughter in any way…” (He then took out his family’s Katana & swung it @ me, but stopped just before the blade penetrated my skull) The message he gave me was very clear, indeed! I was dropped back off @ my car. When I got home, I acted as if everything was fine. Naomi was a bit suspicious, though.

Chapter #6 The 29th of March: By now the Forelli Family was crippled, but not dead. The Sindacco Family was eliminated, in Liberty City. Some Sicilian Family members kidnapped the mayor of Liberty. The mayor was rescued by Don Salvatore Leone & Toni Ciprioni. The Sicilian Family members were dealt with during the rescue. All this crime hit the news media world wide. March 20th – March 31st 1998: W/Don Salvatore Leone back in power, the gang began to regain their turf. May 1st 1998 Thursday: -9:00AM Naomi & I packed & set off to the airport. -12:50PM we’re parked in my rented hanger & have boarded our Shamal gta:lcs. -4:12PM we landed & hailed a taxi to my summer home. -7:07PM we arrived @ my house in Vice City. I was shocked to see what a dump my neighborhood turned into. + My house had been ransacked & is now a hang out spot for the drug users. I was so outraged that I rushed in to my house & demanded the occupants to leave or else. With in seconds I was hurled outside by two house guards. I swung out my Desert Eagle, but before I was able to use it Naomi shouted “NO!!” so we sat there for a minute. It wasn’t until a patrol car rolled up that we were rescued or so I thought. The officers detained us instead. They found my illegal weapons & charged my. When we arrived @ the station I was put into a cell & Naomi was free to go. She stayed @ the station until we could figure out what to do. The cops were not being friendly. We weren’t even aloud to make a phone call. We ended up staying in jail together until the next day. The following morning a Vercetti associate notice me, & ran down the road to a payphone. He continued, to dial the Vercetti Mansion. With in five min. twelve Vercetti guards showed up. Another five min. later Hue Cortez, showed up. @ 10:04AM Naomi & I were released into the guardianship of the Vercetti Family. We entered a Stretch limo, & were taken to the Vercetti Mansion. It was great to see my old friend Tommy again. Mercedes is still FINE!!! (As always) We talked for a while. Mercedes enjoyed the company of Naomi. Tommy told me that I caught a fine lookin’ woman. The next day I told Tommy that I wanted to merry Naomi. So Tommy & I drove down to De Koch jewelers @ 224 North Point Rd. I bought her a sweet 24k Gold & Safire ice diamond ring. Afterwards we drove across to se V race @ the Capt. Pile’s race track. (On the beach in vice point) Tommy had some business to take care of afterwards, so I took my god daughter out to lunch. That night @ dinner I proposed to Naomi. I got down on one knee & said” Naomi Tokmi, will you merry me?” She was shocked. Her mouth was open w/her hand over it. She had tears of joy, & then said “Yes, of course I’ll merry you Tomas” We hugged & I gave he a passionate kiss on the lips. Tommy & Mercedes set us up in their couple’s guest suite @ the mansion. May 21st 1998: Meanwhile back in Liberty city, the Callahan Bridge had finished being built. There was a big ceremony the next day. May 30th 1998: The Portland tunnel was finished. Over the next 3 weeks the fairy system would wither a way. With extreme pressure from angry citizens, the city was forced to sign the petition that banns the use, sale, & keeping of any motorcycle(s) in the city. But the city would allow the 16th annual Liberty City Bumps & Grinds Tournament, to race for the last time. The date was June 23rd to the 24th from 9:00am-5:00pm. When we heard that news in Vice City Tommy, Veronica, & I sat down & discussed weather she would go up their w/us to compete in the last race. It was decided. On June 20th V, her guards, Naomi & I traveled back to Liberty City together. -5:00pm we all arrived @ my penthouse in Belleville Park. Chapter #7 June 21st: Naomi takes V shopping. They had a great time together. Meanwhile I took a blank check book & drove all across the city looking & buying weaponry, gear, & made a few orders for custom armored vehicles. In all I bought: 12 M4s w/30 magazines w/30 rounds each, 2 sniper rifles w/50 rounds each, and 2 Laser scoped sniper rifles w/12 magazines w/6 rounds each, a mini guns w/10000000 rounds, 2 rocket launchers w/30 rockets each, 4 Spas12 shotguns w/40 sells each, 4 Chrome shotguns w/50 rounds each, 20 Uzis w/100 magazines total, & 2 M60s w/400 rounds each. In addition I bought, a new Desert Eagle .50, a new silenced .45, a crate of grenades (60 grenades), & 20 satchel charges. I ordered my fiancé’s car (Sentinel gta:lcs) to be bullet & fire proof. I bought as many bikes as I possibly could, before the ordinance was enacted. I then had them shipped to my export dock in Portland. I also noticed that there were 2 Pay N’ Spray Garages up for sale. So I took that opportunity to buy them both. They’re located in Portland & Staunton. Later that day I drove over to both sides of the “late” fairy terminals. The city had torn down the terminal buildings on both sides of the river, as well as the gates & fences, but the sloped drive-on platforms were still up. The only thing keeping cars or pedestrians from falling in the water is a crowd control fence. On both sides are assortments of construction equipment. Even though the Portland tunnel is finished, the contractors still have to finish tearing down the old fairy terminal grounds, as well as fill in the soon to be last race of the race track. Then, on the others side of the river (in Staunton), the US Military is going to put an Army National Guard base their. The bike sales office in Aspatria was closed for business. June 22nd: I discussed the travel route for the race w/V’s guards. We decided that we would drive down Plaza Blvd. - Campus Rd. – Route 4 & then enter the Staunton side tunnel & exit on the Portland side. Then make a hard left onto a dirt road leading to the concrete platform from the old terminal, & park there. June 23rd Race Day; Day 1: There was a large crowd of protesters there, as well as a large crowd of supporters & spectators. The City & State law enforcements were their, as well. V did very well. She came in 2nd @ the end of the day. She had won a $100 gift card to Prolaps & $1,000. June 24th Race Day; Day 2: The protesters were very testy that day. They kept trying to stop the races. The cops had to call in the swat teams to keep the peace. Anyway, V was doing pretty well. There was another opponent who was racing better then V was. V, w/the pressure from the protesters got a bit aggressive & she lost her concentration on the events. By 2:00pm she was in 4th place. Just before her next run she called home & she talked to her mother. She then talked to her father, & when she was finished she had a big smile on her face. She got on her bike & she finished the 8th course in 2:04. (2 min. & 4 seconds) When it was here turn to race each next course she finished a head of the rest. By the time the last three racers were the last course (including V); the avenging angles had arrived to the race. They started to beat up the outraged protesters. V started the last event & she finished @ a time of 3:00min flat. The next racer finished @ a time of 3:22min. & the last racer finished @ a time of 3:00min, as well. -4:30pm: That should have been the last race, but V was tied w/Samantha Trotter a San Andreas contestant. She was #1 in her state. V was & still is #1 in Florida as well. The city couldn’t wait to do another race due to the fast increasing violence that was accruing. So by the approval by the mayor & the judges of the race, they appointed both V & Samantha winners of the 16th annual Liberty City Bumps & Grinds Tournament. They both received the same prizes & awards. The prizes: $1,000,000 & a $500 gift card to any store. Right after the awards & prizes were given out the violence increased to a bloody riot. The swat teams call for support, but the support wouldn’t arrive for another hour or so. The rioters & protesters had the direct routs the scene blocked off. -5:15pm-5:30pm The mayor was placed on a police boat & taken out of harms way. The police were trying to provide an escape route for the racers & spectators. Gunfire broke out as the swat teams tried to keep the rioters @ bay, but the rioters had arms of there own. Fires were set & the rioters were overwhelming the swat teams. We packed up the cars & the trailer & got on the only exit line. There were just a couple of state cops who were covering the rear of the line. A large group of armed rioters snuck to that side. (The rear) The cops were eliminated & the rioters started to kill the people on the line’s end. We were in the middle. Worried people from behind us drove ahead of us to try & escape, but that turned into an auto accident. A group of 20 people in 10 vehicles were trapped, including us. 5:40pm: Luckily we had an additional 4 Vercetti guards w/us. The plan was to have V & her 2 guards enter the backup car (a Patriot) & to be prepared to drive down the walking path (alongside the river) & drive through China Town & on to the bridge & finally to my penthouse, meanwhile the other 4 guards & I provide cover fire. The 5 of us are equipped w/an Uzi each & I have my Desert Eagle as a backup. We sprayed a wall of fire, killing a couple of the advancing rioters. V & her 2 guards escaped the scene. Now, we just had to deal w/the rest of the advancing rioters. We took turns firing & ducking. Then my Uzi jammed. A rioter armed w/a stubby shotgun almost killed me. Luckily one of the guards shot him before he got me. Unfortunately, he was gunned down after that. So I kind of returned that favor by capping that guy. I dove over to his body & recovered his Uzi & kept up the attack. 6:08pm: The last of the rear advancing rioters were killed. I turned my Landstalker around & 2 guards put the dead guards body in my car & one of them get in as well. The other two jumped into their other Patriot. I was hauling the bike trailer. I led the small convoy down the path & through China Town & across the bridge & finally we were home by 8:00pm. June 25th-30th 1998: After the violent race day, V Naomi & I took some time to talk, see the city, shop, & go boating. By the 30th day, the Bumps & Grinds track was just about gone. The contractors had just a few more things to do, but for the most part they were finished. Well, @ least for the Portland side of the river. For the Staunton side, they were in the final designing stage of the Army National Guard station. July 1st 1998: Donald Love’s deal w/the Panlantic Corp. went through. The Corp. started to begin demolition on the bombed out section of Fort Staunton. That territory automatically became Columbian Cartel territory. July 2nd 1998: We all paced up & made our way to the airport. We boarded the plane & were on our way down to Vice City. We arrived @ the mansion @ about 3:00pm, on a Tuesday I think. Tommy gave Naomi & me a car of our choice to barrow for the rest of our stay. After we discussed it & we chose the Admiral (gta:vc). We wanted to go to the beach for a few days, so Mercedes made arrangements for us to stay @ the Ocean View Hotel. We got a small room on the second floor w/a view of the beach & the ocean. We got a private parking spot in the rear of the hotel.

Chapter #5 New Years Eve 1997/1998: I picked Naomi up from work @ 5:00pm. (Her car was being serviced) We relaxed back home until 9:50pm. @ 11:00pm we were on the roof of our penthouse entertaining colleagues of hers & of mine. We had a fire pit, mini bar, a grill, & a lot of fun. As midnight approached, we counted down w/the whole city, to New Years. Our Penthouse is located where the City’s New Years celebration was taking place. The City had a barge on the Mudson River, w/fireworks on the ready. We counted down… 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, HAPPY NEWYEAR!!!!!! Naomi & I locked lips for a while. A colleague of hers even video taped us, as well as the whole event. -2:00am: My friends were all liquored up & I sent them home. Naomi’s colleagues had left a few moments before hand. They were kind enough to lend a hand in the clean up as well. January 4th 1998 7:00pm: It was a cold, cold night. I remember it well because it was -10 degrees. Anyway, from what my LCPD contacts told me was that, the Yakuza had a compound in Aspartria. That compound had a ton of weapons & gang members. The Yakuza were on the verge of taking control of the whole city. They also said that the LCPD in cooperation w/the FBI, was going to raid the compound, but said that from what the investigation showed, was that someone infiltrated the compound & wiped-out everyone station there. One contact even said that the compound housed a Rhino, & continued by saying that there wasn’t a Rhino in the compound, but there was one destroyed Rhino 2 blocks away from the car park in Newport. January 30th 1998: The Leone Crime Family has been taking a beating from the Triads & the Diablo’s. W/the Don of the Leone family in jail their turf if thinning. W/the Sindaccos out of the picture, the Diablo’s took control of the Red Light District in Portland. Joey the Son of Don Salvatore Leone was fighting off the Triads around the Portland Harbor & Trenton, where his garage is located. Despite Joey’s effort to save his father’s gang territory, he lost Trenton, Portland Harbor, Atlantic Quays, & half of Harwood. February 26th 1998: It was a night we won’t forget. It was the night I took my lovely date to see an opera. On this night though, two unwanted guest had attended the event. Naomi & I walk from my Hall to the opera hall. (Just a few blocks a way) I was well known in the area as well, I was under the protection of the forelli family still. Anyway, as we approached the corner of the opera hall we witnessed a man who was identified as Toni Cipriani, beating some forellis. A local beat cop (He was on the forelli take) confronts Tony w/ his pistol. The officer had called for back up as well. Toni swung out a MP5 & shot the cop & the surviving 2 forellis. I pushed Naomi to the ground & covered her body w/mine. A few Forelli gang members lead us to safety. Toni & his date dove into a limo & started to speed off, until they are halted by a road block. Again Toni whips out his MP5 & sprayed 2 magazines of lead into the roadblock, killing the officers & several Forelli gang members as well. Just before he re-entered the limo 2 police choppers half the Staunton PD swarm the area. The limo w/Toni & his date inside push through the road block & raced down the street to the Pay & Spray. March 1998; March Madness: The 2nd of March: Avery was arriving by plane to Escobar International Airport w/ the new plans for his real-estate venture. He had an armed escort by some Columbian Cartel members. The Cartel members were in two Cartel Cruisers & Avery was driving a Bobcat. It was Toni Ciprioni who did the killing. He had blown up the cruisers & had shot Avery in the back w/a M4 assault rifle, as he ran a way. I had met w/Avery briefly after he got off the plane. I witnessed the bloodshed thereafter. As Toni drove a way w/the plans, I rescued Avery. I knew that he was wearing a bullet proof vest. He always did when ever he was here. I phoned in a favor to my contacts @ the Staunton PD & requested that they w/my help get another dead body. This dead body was a decoy so that if any one went looking for the body they would be looking @ a fake. The plan worked. A friend told me that Donald Love must have hired Toni to kill Avery so that he would have control over Avery’s Empire. I had to smuggle Avery out of the city. So I smuggled him out by using my Import/Export dock. He’s now living a quiet life in Vice City. The 12th of March: [before Avery left, he told me what might happen. He told me that if the hit never happened, that he was to force the business owners to sell their properties to him or else. (That included me!) He continued & said”knowing Donald, he’ll just blow-up the area & make it look accidental.”] I gave that information to the Forelli Family. They then set up guards @ the abandoned subway tunnel, beneath Fort Staunton. The Family assured me that my Gambling Hall would be safe. So the next night Naomi & I decided to stay home. There was something in the air that just didn’t seem right to me. A good friend of mine, who was also my floor manager, told me that there were some high rollers that the Forelli Family knew, that wanted to gamble, so Jimmie (my floor manager) stayed & managed the Hall that night. Unfortunately, that was the last time we would ever hear from Jimmie again. 11:00pm: Liberty City was shocked by a large rumble in the ground. The blast was so big that a small mushroom cloud formed above Fort Staunton. Their was several secondary explosions as well. We were weakened by all that kayos. The Four blocks that I one called my dream neighborhood, looked like European cities from WWII, all blown up w/ rubble & bodies everywhere. It was a very safe neighborhood. The Forelli Family ran thing nicely there. “All those soles, lost for ever, by the hand of a Mad Man”, I thought to myself. Naomi gave me a hug & we prayed for the victims of that bombing. The next morning, we drove over to see the destruction. Most of the area was quarantined off by the State Law & Emergency teams. We were able to sneak in & view the destruction. Luckily the emergency teams had removed all the bodies that were around, by then. We looked to see what we could salvage from my Gambling Hall, but when we arrived we couldn’t tell what was what. The destruction was so bad in some spots that you couldn’t tell which buildings were which. It was @ that point that most of my contacts & fiends with the Forelli Family were killed. I had only 4 guys left that knew me well enough that I could ask for help. (If ever needed)

Chapter #4 September 17th: Naomi came to my Hall to see where I worked. She then took me out to lunch @ an Italian café a few blocks away. (We dated for 2 months when we decided to move in together. Se decided to move in to my place.) September 20th 11:00am: Mayor R.C. Hole way murdered while jogging in Belleville Park. He had a large amount of security, but someone was still able to kill him. Hmm! October 1st 1997 –Friday- : I was just returning to my Hall from lunch when 8 Sindaccos Argentos (supped up station wagons), speed through the streets & lay down a hail of lead. Fortunate for me, there was a Yankee (gta:sa) parked in front of me that took all the lead flying towards me. I ducked down an alley way & saw a man crouched behind some boxes. But, before I could investigate that, I saw 6 Sindaccos run toward me. (Heck, I took off!!) As I rounded the last corner I saw another gun fight between the Forellis & the Sindaccos. I felt trapped. Then I was pulled from behind. A local store keeper named Dennis Maccie led into the back of his store, through the back of another store & out the front of another store, which led me right across the street from my Gambling Hall. Just before I unlocked the door to my Hall, I witnessed a Limo speeding away from the scene. The Forellis won the onslaught. October 13th: During the race for mayor ’97, a hit man killed O’Donovan’s entire campaign worker force that was out gaining campaign territory across Staunton. October 15th: My Hall was a block away from the Forelli’s main Fort Staunton HQ. The night of the 15th, the same man who killed O’Donovan’s campaign workers came to Fort Staunton to the Forelli HQ. The City’s main Voting Machine Company was located adjacent to the HQ. The man quickly ran through the private parking lot between the two buildings & killed all the Forellis in sight. He then torched the Voting Machine Company & the Company’s delivery vans as well. October 30th: -Mischief Night- A crazy man stole a Staunton Fire Truck & purposely caused several auto accidents/pileups. October 31st: -Halloween- It was the night of a Movie Premiere, & it was being televised live. Naomi & I were @ home watching it on WABLC-7. Unfortunately, the three celebrities who were attending the premiere were killed. November 5th – November 11th 1997: With in 7 or so days, there have been a lot of gang wars all across Staunton. The Sindaccos lost their Torrington turf. Let’s see, oh yah! Ah! The Yardies gained new turf. They took Newport from the Forelli Crime Family. Oh, yes! & The Yakuza Sliced N’ Diced their way through Belleville Park & gained that territory from the Forellis as well. The next day (The 12th), the Yardies were out gunned in the back alleys of Fort Staunton, as they tried to gain that territory. Unfortunately they were rescued & got away. Damit!!! November 14th: The Forelli gang had stolen a Munitions Truck & was going to take it back to Fort Staunton, but the Truck was ambushed & 4 Forelli men were torched wile inside the truck. F@#K!!!!! (Sorry) November 17th: Naomi moved in w/me. We had been dating for 2 full months & our relationship was really heating up. (I think I finally found “the one”) ________________________________________________________________________ -We’ve been following the news. Don Salvatore Leone was arrested for being the head of a major crime syndicate & having connections for the big crimes that have occurred in the city recently. We both were starting to get worried. There was too much going on in the city @ once. The city was rapidly changing in every way. I had & have friends & colleges who I talked to. Some were Forelli members & others were lawmen. They would keep me informed on what was going on in some areas. Major crime violence was on a rise. The city was building an underground tunnel to connect Portland w/Staunton. This meant that the city’s fairy system was in trouble. If the tunnel was to finish the fairy would be shut down. The Liberty City Fairy used to run between all three islands. The fairy that ran from Shoreside Vale to Staunton was forced to close when the city built the Shoreside Lift Bridge. Now it looks as if the City will shut down the fairy system for good. Not only is the city digging a tunnel, but they are also building a bridge that connects Portland to Staunton.______________________________________________________________ December 16th 1997: I was meeting with Avery so that he & I could discuss his newest real estate venture. I had wanted to become a stock holder & invest money in his new venture. After a week of meetings & the creatable words from Tommy V, Avery accepted my offer. December 28th 1997: The Sindaccos lost their main leader. It was a hit @ the Cochrane Dam. The Sindacco’s boss Paulie Sindacco, was attending a small meeting w/his crew their. There was a baot waiting for him. As Mr. Sindacco was driving away in his boat, a hit man killed him & then used a RPG to sink his boat, witnesses said. After the hit on Paulie, the rest of the Sindaccos disbanded from Liberty City. December 30th 1997: That night I attended a small party in Fort Staunton, celebrating the downfall of the Sindacco Crime Family @ Vickie’s Deli & Bakery, in Fort Staunton. (2 Doors down from my Hall)

I’m not making a profit off this story! I do have many of my own characters in this story as well. Chapter #3 January 1st 1991: Avery demolishes the Vercetti Mansion in readiness to build a new more beautiful, a larger & more secure mansion for Tommy, Mercedes, & their family. The Vercetti Family moved into their temporary house. -June 1993: The Vercetti Family moved into their new Mansion. The details: A. The lot starts with the entrance. A double security gate/wall system (like a prison entrance would have), checks each vehicle before entering the property. Outfitted w/new sensors, cameras, & other stuff, the new entrance has made the Vercetti Family even safer. Even the drive way has walls of its own to prevent whatever. The driveway wall stops when the driveway reaches the garage & the other side stops at the u-turn. The curved part of the u-turn connects to the guest entrance to the mansion. The position of the driveway is exactly where it was before. B. Guest cars would be parked in the parking garage, of course. First flour of the garage is for guest cars. The second flour parks the Vercetti Family’s vehicles. The roof of the garage holds & houses, two helipads w/hanger. Looking at the front of the mansion, the Garage is attached to the left wing. C. The Adventure Fun Park, has an off road trail w/a mud field, a private shooting range, & a small fishing pond w/camping area. The Park is divided into two. The first half is used for the “Family”, & the other half is used as a training park for the Vercetti Crime Family Crew, Agents, Men, and ext. The Fun Park is located @ the end of the property. There is a paved private road that leads to it from the Parking Garage. (A strait road/line) The beginning edge of the Park sits beside the Front Gate Entrance. D. The U shaped bay has land along part of the outer side of the “U”, & salt water floods the inner part of the “U”. The bay isn’t really shaped like a U, but it’s the only way I could explain it. The bottom of the “U” (the curved portion), has a four door/garage boat house. The boat house, sits on the edge of the back patio of the mansion. E. The Runway w/hanger lies behind the Parking Garage kind of next to the Boat house. The hanger houses a/one Shamal gta;sa, in it. The runway runs along part of the U shaped Bay. The Helipad & Runway share a single control tower, located on the roof of the Parking Garage. F. The Riding Stable is on the right side of the property. It’s a big open field w/track for the family to go horse back riding. The Stable has an additional building. It’s the property guards HQ building. It has quad bikes gta:sa, horses, & a Seasparrow gta:vc. A small dirt road leads to/from the driveway. Tommy & Mercedes didn’t want to move back in until all the security, travel, & leisure enmities were resolved. (Built) That means the security gate/wall, the park, the garage, the runway, the boat house, the riding stables, & of course their Mansion. The property was said to have Ground-To-Air; Heat Seeking Missiles, but know body knows if that’s true or not. Not even me! Me! Of all the people in the world I can’t confirm or deny that accusation. Security for the property use a quad bike gta;sa, for patrols of the lots, as well as horses. The Mansion’s Interior: The foyer & main hall w/duel curved staircases are exact replicas to the movie Scareface. (Minus the Statue of the man w/globe that says “THE WORLD IS YOURS”, but the pond is there) Tommy never believed that phrase to be true to him or any body else. 1. The fist floor; This floor has a great big dinning room, 6 half bathrooms (3 his & 3 hers), a lounge w/bar, a dance hall, a guest living room w/TVs; Stereos; & a mini bar, a Smoking lounge, & the maids/servants quarters. It also has access to the fist floor Parking Garage. 2. The second floor; at the top of this floor is the doorway to Tommy’s Office. It has a big resemblance to Scareface, again. This floor only has the master bedroom w/master bath, Tommy’s Office, & a conference/eating room. It also has access to the second floor of the Parking Garage. 3. The third floor; this floor has 6 Full Bed/Bathrooms. It has an eating room, Dinning room, Living/family room, & hobby/game room. It also has access to the helipad. This floor also has plenty of storage. & last but not least the third floor has a small size movie theatre. 4. The basement; The basement houses the Kitchen, Laundry room, Dish/China Wash room, the 24/7 call room for the butler/maid/servant, Dry Cleaner, & Hurricane Shelter. -September: After a long extended vacation in Vice City, it was time for me to go back home; but before I left Tommy & Mercedes gave me a gift. Tommy had Hue Cortez (The Vercetti Family lawyer) checked up on the real-estate back in Liberty City & made reservations for an apartment & a business, for me. They bought me a Gambling Hall w/an apartment upstairs & a 2 car garage, in Fort Staunton. Gambling is legal in Liberty City. - July 1997: Veronica came up here to compete in the 15th annual Liberty City Bumps & Grinds Tournament. This was V’s first tournament. She’s a great rider. I picked her & her two guards up @ the airport, on Thursday. We arrived @ my new 4 bedroom penthouse, in Belleville Park. I remodeled the Gambling Hall to make it bigger. Therefore I had no more apartment to live in, so I bought a big penthouse w/underground parking garage w/6 parking spaces for me. The tournament was scheduled for Saturday & Sunday from 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. So that being my god-daughter’s first time in Liberty City I took her on a sight seeing tour of the beautiful, but violent city. The car I bought for myself back in ’94 (Landstalker gta:lcs), is bulletproof & fire proof. -Saturday, 8:00 a.m.: The V & I hookup the bike trailer to my car & drove down to the Staunton Fairy Terminal. Once there I paid to ride the fairy. We arrived @ the Harwood Fairy Terminal & parked in the lot there. We walked the Sanchez across the street to the tournament. -6:00 p.m.: We packed up, cross the river, & drive home. V was great!! She was tied w/another girl her age. Tomorrow they would have to battle it out for 1st place & a grand prize of a new ’98 Manchez. Since she & her rival tied that day, they were both given a $50.00 gift card to any Sub Urban clothing store nation wide. -Sunday 1:30 p.m.: Well we were getting ready for V to race when a small mob of violent protesters interrupted the event. They were protesting against the use of motorcycles in the city. V’s rival was just finished up. Just before V started her run, the police came to keep the protesters back. -4:00 p.m.: V had beaten her rival & won the 15th annual Liberty City Bumps & Grinds Tournament. -7:45 p.m.: V & her guards bag & gear are packed on an AT-600 cargo conversion (a plane), w/ V’s 2 bikes & her trailer. Meanwhile back @ the departures terminal, I say one final goodbye to my god daughter. September 16th, 1997 1:33pm: I met a beautiful Japanese woman. Her name is Naomi Tokmi . We met in the park of Belleville Park. I was finishing my daily walk when I witnessed a mugging. 2 guys dressed in black & wearing facemasks came from behind this woman. The first man pushed her to the ground. The other man then took her purse & jewelry. I rushed over to assist the victim. I pushed both men down, pulled out my Desert Eagle & aimed it @ the 2 muggers. I told them”drop her belongings & scram.” I saw the fear in their eyes. They quickly stood up & took off, leaving the woman’s belongings behind. I offered her some minor medical attention back @ my place. She gladly accepted. Back @ my place, I tended to her scrapped knee. We talked for hours. We talked about everything. She worked @ the AMco corporate offices in Torrington. -8:00pm: I drove her home. She gave me her number.

Hi All, This story is about my fictional character story living in Liberty City. I used some actual gameplay events intertwind w/my story. So Enjoy!! Oh & please leave feedback. I will be posting this story in chapters. The story is over 20 pages long in Windows Word, so I'll post a page or two per chapter. Disclaimer: I do not own the rights to this game. I’m just borrowing some names, locations, events, & objects (like vehicles & weapon’s names), from Rockstar Games. I’m not making a profit off this story! I do have many of my own characters in this story as well. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Liberty City: The Worse Place to Live; My Life Story! Chapter #1 Hi! My name is Robert Schmitt. I was born in the “Red Light District” of Portland, in the winter of 1960. My father (Mr. Bob O’ Stevens) owned a deli on Front Street. My mother (Ms. Dorothy “Dolly” Schmitt) was an exotic dancer. They never married. After I was born Ma’ quit her job. She had saved up enough $$$ to last. We lived in a small apartment above Pay N’ Spray in the Red Light District, on Front Street. These streets were controlled by the Forelli gang. -Things were really bad. There were bombings, protests, riots, & even Mob Wars! The rival between the Leone Family & the Forelli Family was brutal. I was six years old when I met Tommy Vercetti. Tommy had a rough life. He always looked after me though. Tommy was an enforcer/soldier for the Forelli Crime Family. -1970: “The State of Liberty has announced that Liberty City is the worse city in the state, to live in”. For a few years now I had been working @ Valerie Vinchaznii, parking cars & running small earns for Wave. (A local Italian restaurant, owned by the Forelli Family) Wave was the name of a made man named Mike Zazzio, who was with the Forelli Family. -May 20th Armed Forces Day: 3 big military contractor buildings in Portland were destroyed by angry civilians due to the conflict over in Nam. -September: a small organization starts to protest against the use of fright trains through Liberty City. The Leone Family took 12 territories from the Forelli’s. -1971: The Forelli gang really put a hurting on Don Salvatore Leone’s crew & territories. By the end of the year the Forelli gang had taken all Portland gang territorries exept for three. Those gangs w/thire territorries are the Triads/China Town, Leone Family/Saint Marks, & the Diablos/Hepburn Heights. -1972: The feds had been surveying the Forelli Family for years, now. -January: the FBI arrested Tommy & 12 other Forelli gang members for the murders of some Leone Family gang members. Tommy was sentenced to jail. I was @ his court hearing & trial. The system gave my best friend 25 years, & would be up for parole in 15. I would visit him in jail, as much as I could. -March 3rd, 4th, & the 5th: Violent protests (against the Nam conflict) erupted throughout the city. In many places the cops were out numbered 20-1. Some guy burned my father’s bakery down because he found out that my father was pro war. My father served in WWII. While Tommy was doing time, I got a several promotions & by my 21st birthday I was in running a small Betting Stand. I was making the Forelli Family a lot of money, but @ the same time the Family was starting to loose territory & respect, due to the Leone Family. -1980: “The State of Liberty has announced that Liberty City is STILL the worse city in the state, to live in”. -February: My 21st birthday was awesome. I was given an apartment & an auto of my choice, by the Forelli Family. I chose the 1982 Bobcat. I was given an apartment near the Portland Docks cause, that’s were the Family wanted & needed me to be. Apparently Tommy had asked “the Family” if they could move me to a safer location due to the inside info that he gave the “Family about the police raiding the Betting shack, amongst others. The day after my transfer the police & FBI raided the Betting shack. -1985: -January 18th: There was a really bad train accident in Trenton. A Freight train carrying coal, grain, beef, & oil, collided w/a tractor trailer hauling Redwood Logs from San Andreas. The train derailed & spilled its loads into on coming traffic. A 15 auto pileup caused a fire @ the Zip Warehouse (Now, Joey’s Garage). -December 5th: The biggest & bloodiest heist in the country took place. “Wave” had heard from his brother-in-law (whose the manager of Jaunk Airlines, Francis International Airport), said that the airlines is going to have a shipment of untraceable bills (money) flown in from London. $2.0 million was to be expected @ the airport’s cargo terminal. The heist had 5 phases. Phase 1: 3 cars & 1 van would be used in the heist. The first car would enter the airport 30 min. before the heist, for surveillance. The second car would fallow the van into the airport @ 3:00 a.m. The fourth car would be sitting @ a garage in Fort Staunton, waiting for the “cash car” (the van), to arrive w/the money to be transferred to that car. The cash car would be parked 2 the rear of the terminal. Car 2 would sit to the right of the terminal w/its lights off, & car 1 was stationed @ the main entrance to the airport. Phase2: There was a crew of 10. 6 men dressed in nondescript dark clothing & wearing black ski masks would enter the cargo terminal & roundup, handcuff, & blindfold the 8 people working their that night. Phase 3: They would find Jeff Tones (the night manager) & force him to deactivate the alarm system & lead the crew into the security vault. Phase 4: The manager would then be forced to open the rear security door. Then they would handcuff, & blindfold him & put him in the lunchroom w/his employees. They would then tell the captives to stay seated for @ least 20 min. This was because the brother-in-law said that the Liberty Port Authority could not only seal off the airport in 90 seconds, but that they could also raise the Shoreside Lift Bridge & shut down the fairies as well. Phase 5: The cash car & the other 2 cars would leave the airport, cross the Shoreside Bridge, & meet @ a garage in Fort Staunton. The cash would be transferred to car 3. The van would be driven to the car crusher in Harwood, but if the fairies are shut down then it would be torched, then sunk. Both car 1 & car 2 would then have their plates changed. Depending on their roles in the heist, the crew was to receive $10,000 – $50,000. However, those amounts were based on the $2.0 million. The Brother-in-law was to receive a flat 15% of the take. Final preparations were made a few days before the heist. The crew set off for the cargo terminal, arriving just before 3:00 a.m. on Friday, December 15. Instead of 5 men in the van, as originally planed, there were six. This last men was Papie “the tongue” Staxx, a made man of the Forelli Family. I knew Staxx from the Portland Docks, he was the problem solver their. He got his name when his rival cut out his tongue. Staxx knew Tommy very well. Since my transfer to the docks, Staxx has been looking out for me. It was a cold, cold night, & snowing. The 8 men got out of car 2 & the cash car & they climbed the stairs to the entrance on the second floor. Meanwhile the van repositioned itself to the rear of the terminal. Once inside, the crew began quietly rounding up the workers. From what I read in the paper, it said that the only two ways to sound the Port Authority alarm, is to tap the alarm or by using a “red” phone. All but 1 employee were found. The only one left was a security guard, but know one knew were he was. @ This point the crew was behind schedule. So they got the manager to disable the alarm, open the vault, but before he could open the rear door, the guard ambushes the crew. Armed w/a shotgun & a revolver, the guard began shooting & taking cover. He supposedly took down two crew members before Staxx sliced his throat. Before the guard ambushed the crew he knocked out a crewmember & freed the captives. As the crewmembers that were getting the money came out of the vault w/2 dolly loads of cash, they saw a few employees quietly rushing to the main cargo doors. Wave knew if they escaped that they might get help before the crew leaves. So he & another crewmember shoot them dead. After that, they search & kill the rest of the workers. Without the rear security door open, the crew must carry in the cash upstairs, down the hall, & down the outside staircase, to the Cash Car. It took them a few min. to finish. Then a security car pulled up alongside the Cash Car. Before the guards could do/say anything, a crewmember sprayed the security car w/an Uzi, killing the guards. The gang then left the airport & crossed the Shoreside Lift Bridge, w/no other problems. Once @ the garage, the gang transferred the cash to car 1, car 2, & car 4. Then they changed all the plates, including the van. By this time though, the Liberty Port Authority had shut down all waterways. The crew sends 2 guys to drive the van to a back alleyway in Newport to torch the van. By morning, the press was all over the heist. The crew thought that they were stealing $2.0 million, but they had actually stolen $8.5 million, making this the largest heist in this county’s history. The robbery pulled in several different law enforcement agencies. I also got a small raise from Staxx as well. I wasn’t “their”, but I guess he thought I could use it, so….

Hey, That's a good start!!! Keep it up. ~M1 Garand

Yeah! To me, the history of "Vice City" sounds nice. Good luck w/it! Can't wait to read, what-ever you choose. ~M1 Garand

Hey thanks!! I'll try, but I'm not really into dialogue. This story is being told by a fictonal version of myself. Oh & I did post it on Fanfiction.net, but no-one had posted feedback;so I thought I'd try somewhere else. Some where, where I'm surrounded by GTA fans. If people like this story, I'll post my other story that is intertwined w/this story. Again thanks!!!!!! ~M1 Garand

Ok great, Thanks!!!! I just posted my first story. It's a bit long. lol Enjoy!! Oh yeah & please leave feedback! Later, M1 Garand

I’m not making a profit off this story! I do have many of my own characters in this story as well. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tommy Vercetti’s Story & Timeline We don’t know anything about, Tommy’s childhood. We do know this though, that he was a former member of the Forelli crime family, back in the day. (1960’s – 1970’s) The Forelli Crime Family is located in a northeastern urban city of Liberty City. For what ever crime(s) he committed back then, Tommy spent 15 years out of 25 years in jail. He got out on “good behavior”. The Head of the Forelli Family was Sonny. Sonny thought that with Tommy out of jail, the feds & police would be paying close attention to not only Tommy, but HIS whole Mafia Family. Sonny & his crew had been thinking about spreading their operations down south “Vice City” so to speak, & also getting into the drug business down there. So Sonny sends Tommy & two curriers down to Vice City. They went down there to set-up a buy. Tommy & the currier fly down to Vice City & arrive at Escorbar International Airport. They hop into a waiting car, driven by a man named Ken Rosenberg. Ken is doing this job as a favor for Sonny. Ken is a local Vice City lawyer. Anyway, from the airport they drive to the meet. The meet took place at an industrial dock, not to far from the airport. They pull up to the docks. A Maverick chopper with two occupants flies in & land about 100ft. from them. The three occupants in the chopper are Vance brothers & another guy, kind-of work for a cocaine baron boss named Ricardo. Well, Tommy, the two curriers, Victor Lance & the other guy, meet each other half way. The deal seems to be going great, until a group of Vice City SWAT officers open fire. The 2 Forelli curriers, the other guy & Lance’s brother get hit & go down. While Tommy dives into the car, Lance Vance Dance, fly’s off. In all the chaos Tommy lost not only the drugs, but he lost Sonny’s money. Ken then drives Tommy back to the Ken’s office (at 55 Washington ST). (From here on, until when Tommy rules Vive City you all should know about, by now. Right!? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My story, takes place after you completed all the story missions to the game. In my story the game ended in the summer of 1987. So here is the history of the Vercetti Crime Family, after the game story line ended. After the game ended, Tommy, Ken, & Avery started to expand a bit more. Avery continued to build offices & apartments through-out VC. Tommy kept his gang strong & kept their morale strong, as well. About a week later Tommy proposed to Mercedes. They were dating since a month after they met. She was 7 months pregnant with twins Joseph & Veronica (or “V” for short), when Tommy proposed to her. Joseph & Veronica were born October 17th 1987. Tommy & Mercedes got married July 4th 1988. One month later she was pregnant again. Mercedes gave birth to Christopher, May 3rd 1989. Today the Vercetti Crime Family still rules the crime wave in Vice City. So far the family has ruled VC for 18-19 years. From 1987-2005+. Part of the reason for this is that the Family has not expanded there organization. Tommy actually learned a lot of what not to do, thanks to Hollywood movies. Such films as: Scarface, The God Father series, the Goodfellas, & others. His father in-law (Colonel Juan Cortez or DAD), was his favorite inspiration. With dad’s help Tommy’s Empire took off. The family owns other real-estate in VC besides the ones we all know of. The family of course has a new lawyer. For those of you, who didn’t know Ken Rosenberg, moved out to the State of San Andreas, between 1990-1991. Hugh Cortez is the lawyer for the Family. He was raised by the Colonel’s brother back in Europe. The mansion Tommy & his family live in is the same one we all know of.

He & Ken helped Tommy start a conference, so to speak. The conference is a meeting of all the gangs in Vice City. The meeting takes place on neutral territory, at 33 Avery Ct. All gangs have to bring to the conference: The leader or official representative of the gang No more than 2 aids &, No more than 2 bodyguards/gang members. The Gangs are: 1. The Army; most powerful 2. The Vercetti Crime Family; very powerful 3. The Cubans; pretty powerful 4. The Haitians; powerful 5. The Bikers/Rednecks; powerful 6. The Street wannabe’s / Sharks; Moderate 7. The P.I.G.s; Moderate 8. The Golfers; Wimpy The conference happens once a month. The list of who’s powerful was for the year of 1989. They update the list every year @ their year’s end meeting. As of February 18th 1990 all but one gang wars had ended. The Army just would not give up fighting. They were invincible, until….. In 1990/1991, a lot of the Army Gang was shipped out to Kuwait, for the Persian Gulf War / Operation Desert Storm. So that, next month, all other gang leaders formed a plan to overpower & destroy the rest of the Army Gang. Every gang had a special role(s) to play in this attack. The Golfers were the look-outs, that day. They would keep an eye out for help, trouble, reinforcements, & so on. The P.I.G.s is security, in sense. They secured the perimeter, at both ends. If the police showed up, they would hold them off. The Sharks were the bait. They lured the most of army out of the base. As soon as the Army was out of the base; The Cubans came from the left &, The Haitians came from the right. They both attacked the Army at the same time, while The Bikers & the Sharks reinforced themselves, and then attacked the Army head on. The Vercetti Gang, then came from the air & water. They had 12 (“borrowed”) Mavericks & the Hunter. The Hunter provided air-to-ground fire / cover fire while the 12 Mavericks landed the Vercetti gang members. The Vercetti Gang also provided security from the harbor police & coast guard, using the launch. They used 4 of them. The whole incident took 2 hours. The Army Gang is no more. ----The Aftermath---- All 400 Army gang members KIA (home & abroad) A total of 60 vehicles were destroyed: 4 Mavericks, 1 Launches, 6 Rhinos, 8 barracks, 3 Gang Burritos, 6 Coastguards, 6 Predators, 16 Police cars, 6 Enforcers, & 4 Police Mavericks. A Total of 531 people were killed: 400 Army gang members, 12 Sharks members, 8 police officers, 30 Cubans members, 25 Haitians members, 12 Vercetti gang members, 10 pedestrians, 25 P.I.G.’s, & 9 Bikers. The Real Army now uses that base & is not a threat, unless the police call for them. (6 Stars) March 19th, 1991: construction of an addition to the Vice City Army Air National Guard is under way. March 26th, 1991: It appears that the Army base is building a Navel port & a neighborhood around the base area for the troops. July 30th, 1991: The base is Complete! The base area holds all branches of the US Military. -Just before that incident, Ken couldn’t take all this new craziness. So he got help from up north. The Forelli Crime Family from Liberty City sent for him. Tommy couldn’t deal with Ken’s anxiety-Bull****, anymore. So he let Ken go. Ken left Vice City September 1st 1990. On October 3rd 1990, Hugh Cortez came back to America to be Tommy’s Lawyer. Hue was born & raised in Europe & came to America at the age of 19. He went to Harvard Law School. He graduated in spring of 1987 & flew back home, where he became a very successful & respectful criminal defense lawyer.- 1991: Avery demolishes the Vercetti mansion in readiness to build a new more beautiful, a larger & more secure mansion for Tommy & Mercedes. The House Plan: 1. Two more acres than the existing nine acres. 2. A 15,000sqft. Mansion. 3. A riding stable. 4. Half stone/gravel half paved driveway w/a two story parking garage, attached to the mansion. 5. A new ten ft. high steel/concrete wall, used as the property/perimeter wall. 6. A two acre wooded Fun Park. An off road adventure trail. 7. A small runway w/hanger attached to the mansion. 8. A new U shaped bay. A. The lot starts with the entrance. A double security gate/wall system (like a prison entrance would have), checks each vehicle before entering the property. Outfitted w/new sensors, cameras, & other stuff, the new entrance has made the Vercetti Family even safer. Even the drive way has walls of its own to prevent whatever. The driveway wall stops when the driveway reaches the garage & the other side stops at the u-turn. The curved part of the u-turn connects to the guest entrance to the mansion. The position of the driveway is exactly where it was before. B. Guest cars would be parked in the parking garage, of course. First flour of the garage is for guest cars. The second flour parks the Vercetti Family’s vehicles. The roof of the garage holds & houses, two helipads w/hanger. Looking at the front of the mansion, the Garage is attached to the left wing. C. The Adventure Fun Park, has an off road trail w/a mud field, a private shooting range, & a small fishing pond w/camping area. The Park is divided into two. The first half is used for the “Family”, & the other half is used as a training park for the Vercetti Crime Family Crew, Agents, Men, ext. The Fun Park is located @ the end of the property. There is a paved private road that leads to it from the Parking Garage. (a strait road/line) The beginning edge of the Park sits beside the Front Gate Entrance. D. The U shaped bay has land along part of the outer side of the “U”, & salt water floods the inner part of the “U”. The bay isn’t really shaped like a U, but it’s the only way I could explain it. The bottom of the “U” (the curved portion), has a four door/garage boat house. The boat house, sits on the edge of the back patio of the mansion. E. The Runway w/hanger lies behind the Parking Garage kind of next to the Boat house. The hanger houses a/one Shamal gta;sa, in it. The runway runs along part of the U shaped Bay. The Helipad & Runway share a single control tower, located on the roof of the Parking Garage. F. The Riding Stable is on the right side of the property. It’s a big open field w/track for the family to go horse back riding. The Stable has an additional building. It’s the property guards HQ building. It has quad bikes gta:sa, horses, & a Seasparrow gta:vc. A small dirt road leads to/from the driveway. Tommy & Mercedes didn’t want to move back in until all the security, travel, & leisure enmities were resolved. (Built) That means the security gate/wall, the park, the garage, the runway, the boat house, the riding stables, & of course their Mansion. The property was said to have Ground-To-Air; Heat Seeking Missiles, but know body knows if that’s true or not. Not even me! Me! Of all the people in the world I can’t confirm or deny that accusation. Security for the property use a quad bike gta;sa, for patrols of the lots, as well as horses. The Mansion’s Interior: The foyer & main hall w/duel curved staircases are exact replicas to the movie Scareface. (Minus the Statue of the man w/globe that says “THE WORLD IS YOURS”, but the pond is there) Tommy never believed that phrase to be true to him or any body else. 1. The fist floor; This floor has a great big dinning room, 6 half bathrooms (3 his & 3 hers), a lounge w/bar, a dance hall, a guest living room w/TVs; Stereos; & a mini bar, a Smoking lounge, & the maids/servants quarters. It also has access to the fist floor Parking Garage. 2. The second floor; at the top of this floor is the doorway to Tommy’s Office. It has a big resemblance to Scareface, again. This floor only has the master bedroom w/master bath, Tommy’s Office, & a conference/eating room. It also has access to the second floor of the Parking Garage. 3. The third floor; this floor has 6 Full Bed/Bathrooms. It has an eating room, Dinning room, Living/family room, & hobby/game room. It also has access to the helipad. This floor also has plenty of storage. & last but not least the third floor has a small size movie theatre. 4. The basement; The basement houses the Kitchen, Laundry room, Dish/China Wash room, the 24/7 call room for the butler/maid/servant, Dry Cleaner, & Hurricane Shelter 1995 & 1996 were BIG years for Tommy & his family! By 1995, in a course of 10 years Avery had rebuilt & built a lot real-estate in Vice City. There is one two-story house that he built just for the gang conferences, in Washington Beach. The head of the Cuban gang “Umberto”, has a favor for Tommy. Umberto’s cousin, Enrique wants to know if Tommy would be interested in Laundering drug money for him. Tommy thought about it for two months. His answer was yes. Tommy would use the film studio as another front. At the rear of the lot is a dock. Enrique would have the money flown in by a Skimmer. The plane would float up-to the dock, 8 of Vercetti’s men would be waiting. 4 of them would carry the money up-to the lot & the other 4 were guards w/M4s, Sniper Rifles, & Heat Seeking Rocket Launchers. With the help of Congressman Alex Shrub & Hue Cortez, Tommy & his family are now Justus/legal wise, “untouchable”. This means that the courts can not trial or convict them of 90% of all crimes. The summer of 1995 was huge! The Forelli Crime Family tried to make another move to Vice City. The Family sent down 60 guys to get settled in as well as “setting up shop” With ties in San Andreas, the Forellis decided to focus on there move & take over of Vice City. Before there move began, they sent down some Mafia Scouts & Observers, to spy on Tommy & to get to know the land & what it has to offer. The 60 men arrive by 2 Shamals & 1 AT-400. They also had 6 Beagles, with loads of Mafia Sentiel each, supplies, & weapons n’ ammo. The first plane to touch down was on July 1st 1995, at 12:38am. By 1:10am all 60 men & there cars n’ gear were on the tarmac. They rented 2 buses & 1 Mule. The Mafia Scouts had purchased some gorgeous estates on Starfish Island. They arrived at there new homes/graves. Little did they know that Tommy’s gang found out about the move & found & killed the scouts & observers. The men get settled in. The next day 12 men go to a warehouse they rented to get things ready. They were joined by 20 others & then set off to do damage to Tommy’s Empire. First they set fire to The Print Works. Tommy’s money print was destroyed. Then between July 2nd to September 5th the 60 men of the Forelli Crime family destroyed 4 residential estates & 2 other asset properties. By 9:00am, the next morning all 60 men were mysteriously killed. The police had no leads & was filed as a “cold case”. The coroner’s office released all 60 corpses to Auntie Poulet (the leader of the Haitians). She & Tommy had all 60 corpses flown back to Liberty City. The forellis saw this as an insult, but before they could declare war on the Vercetti Gang, other **** was happening, on the home front. ----The aftermath---- 100 Vercetti Gang members killed 6 Burritos destroyed Print works burned. 4 residential estates burned Boat yard toasted 5 Boats sunk Kaufman Cabs bombed out 12 skeleton taxis 22 employees dead From October1995 to November of 1996 there were a lot of assai nation attempts on Tommy’s life. There were even a few on Mercedes too. Most came from other idiots, who thought they could take Tommy out, then take over Vice. But, there were some that came from some allies: Dec. 25, 1995, Four Haitians w/ laser scoped rifles, shot 16 armor piercing rounds through the Vercetti’s limousine as they pulled up to a charity Christmas dinner at 447 Colonial Drive, in Down Town. The rounds penetrated the limo, but didn’t hit anyone. Police later found the four suspects dead. They were torched by a flamethrower. The thrower was sitting next to the chard bodies. January 28th, 1996, 7 Wannabe’s driving a phoenix, two Bobcats, & a Personnel, attempted to run Mercedes off the road. Mercedes was driving home from the doctor’s office, in Down Town. She was driving her Cheetah, when a Phoenix w/two boy in it drives very erratically around the Cheetah. This made Mercedes drive faster, which is what they were accepting. The phoenix kept up with the crazy driving until the two Bobcats arrived. The Bobcats pumped he car a few times. Finally her car veered off the road, hitting 2 pedestrians, through a traffic light post, & onto a parked BF-400. Four boys got out of the two Bobcats w/tec-9s & .45 automatics. They start shooting the car, until they notice it’s bullet proof. Mercedes body guards were behind her, driving a burrito. They got three flat tires from the help of the Personnel driver. With the help of a homing device in Mercedes car, the Vercetti Strike Team arrived with-in 60 seconds after her car veered off the road. The Strike Team uses the Hustler. One Hustler holds four people. How is this possible you ask? Well the Hustler holds the driver & the front seat passenger, right. Since there is no second seat the other two men stand & hang on to the car, by using the car’s reinforced step bar; just like they used to do in the 1920’s-1940s. Anyway, the team arrived in two Hustlers, did a drive by killing half the wannabes, rescued Mercedes, & Drove her home in a Mafia Sentinel w/ a Strike Team escort. June 29th, 9:49pm Tuesday night, Tommy & three of his bodyguards, left a card game on Cuban turf. He was only two blocks away from Sunshine Autos were he had parked his car. With one block left to walk, at 9:57pm a group of 20 Cubans & 3 ex-swat members, surround Tommy & his three body guards. The without warning the 23 bad guys open fire. Paul, a Vercetti bodyguard falls to the ground, dead. Tommy & the two others, duck down, behind a store side wall & some crates. Both sides exchange fire for about a half hour. At that time 10 of the Cubans were gunned down & 7 others wounded. Will, another on of Tommy’s guards was dead. He died from too much blood loss. Danny, the last guard is hit in the left shoulder. Tommy was shot in the chest 8 times, but he was wearing a vest so he was fine. But he had one bulletin his right arm. Tommy played his cards right on this one. Instead of calling his Gang for help, he called the police. Within 5 minutes of the call Sonny Crocket & Ricardo Tubbs along with the Vice City Police & Swat showed up. The police & swat covered Crocket & Tubbs, while they run to & cover Tommy & Danny. 10 Minuets later the gun battle ends. 2 police men died, 3 swat officers wounded, & all 23 bad guys were KIA. Oct. 31st, Mischief Night, 6:00pm, Saturday, Tommy & Mercedes are at there house called Elswanko Casa, for the Halloween weekend. Just two days before, in Vice Point, an owner of a popular restaurant was murdered. So when police found who did it they let it slide, because it was the Chiefs oldest son who murdered the son of a Columbian General who was well known & lover by locals. (he had 4 bullet holes in him) The shooting was filed as an accidental shooting. This drove the public wild & most of all extremely furious. On Halloween the Police chief Gregory sets up a one block perimeter around the home of the Stuetter Home. (Police Chief’s home) The time was logged in at 6:04pm, the rioting started. Cars dumpsters, crates, & certain shops were set ablaze. The rioter set man made burning roadblocks, so that the riot police can’t engage them. The rioters were equipped with RPGs, AK-47s, AK-74s, Chrome Shotguns, WWII Springfield sniper rifles, grenades, & Usis. The police have barricaded roadway, using 3 police cars each, barricades, & one swat van per barricaded roadway. The police were equipped with Chrome Shotguns, .45 automatics, Usis, & Stubby Shotguns. Within the rioters is a small hit squad of mercs. The mercs were sent by an unknown party, who must have paid, a hell of a lot of money to kill Tommy & Mercedes at that particular house. Tommy & Mercedes both had there bodyguards with them, as well as an extra 12 men for extra security. The house was a fortress. It was armed with m-60 & .50 cal. Machine gun posts. As well as searchlights, motion sensors, Bullet proof safety glass, a mix of steel & iron main gate, & surveillance cameras. With 20 guards + more always on standby, they felt safe, during this riot. 7:38pm, as the police struggle to keep rioters at bay, the mercs use there ex-military strategies & tactics to attack the Vercetti Home. While most of the guards were focused on shooting to keep rioters away, the mercs would start picking the guards off, one by one. During all of this, Tommy leaves all decision making to his head guard. So Tommy & Mercedes head into the master bedroom, for some romance. Danny, (head guard) realizes a certain amount of men are being shot at. 8:19pm the police request help from the FBI & the Army. Danny also request help, but not from the FBI or Army, but the Hunter & the Sea Sparrow. At 8:45pm ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE! Police were forced back to the perimeter of the Chief’s house, with only 8 officer left alive & out of ammo. At that time the army arrives with: 200 Soldiers with; m-16s, grenades, anti-tank launchers 5 Rhinos 20 barracks 2 Hunters 10 Cargobobs. The FBI arrived in 6 Mavericks. (Black) They repelled down & around the Chief’s house. The Army was getting pounded by the rioter, & the FBI was loosing the fight as well. 9:00pm, the rioters overwhelmed, the house & set it ablaze. The army Hunters was given permition to open fire. At the Vercetti House, there were 15 dead guards, & the mercs were starting to enter the compound. Since the Army Hunters were in the air, Danny didn’t want there to be any trouble so he ordered it to return to base. So the Sea Sparrow began to circle the house. The mercs didn’t bother to destroy the chopper cause; they thought it was for the riot. Now Tommy, Mercedes, Danny & the other 4 bodyguards climb to the roof, for an evac. The Sparrow pilot sprays gun fire at the mercs, while a Leviathan rescues the bunch. The mercs try to escape during the slaughter but…. 9:09pm, all gun fire stops. ----- The Aftermath ----- A total of 319 Dead: 59 Police men & women 57 Swat officers 32 FBI guys 34 Army Soldiers 118 Rioters 15 Vercetti guards 04 Mercs & all 5 members of the Stuetter family. (including the police chief & his son) A total of 82 vehicles destroyed: 47 civilian cars 16 barracks 14 police cars 05 Enforcers A total of 4 buildings burned down: 3 Stores 1 house (Police Chief’s house) By Christmas day 1996, the boat yard & Kaufman Cabs were rebuilt/reopened. The print works was still not done cause; Tommy did not know what he wanted to use it as, then. Tommy & Sonny Crocket ware close friends, but that wasn’t always so. Ever since the game mission Jury Fury, they had a vendetta between each other. That all changed when Tommy started to be friendlier to Sonny. After Tommy & Lance, murdered Ricardo Diaz, Tommy handed Sonny Crocket the rest of Ricardo’s Empire on a silver platter. Since then, Tommy & Sonny have been friends. Tommy would visit Sonny as often as possible on, Crocket’s boat. So when the boat yard reopened, Tommy renamed it Crocket’s Boat Yard. At times Tommy would even help Sonny by giving him & the police, light & heavyweight crooks. When ever Crocket & tubs were undercover, & Tommy was around, Tommy would always play it cool & never tip the bad guys off. It was trough, Tommy that Crocket & Tubbs busted some of Vice City’s, worst criminals. Kaufman Cabs was renamed Vercetti Taxi Service. Tommy thought that & believed that the name Kaufman Cabs died when the place was burned down. So he thought that with a new name & set-up the taxi business would be more successful. Boy was he right! February 2nd, 1997: Colonel Juan Cortez was very ill & sent for his daughter, Mercedes. February 4th, 1997: Mercedes boards a shamal with her guards & two aids, & flies to South America. February 10th, 1997: The Colonel’s Yacht arrives at the docks in Washington Beach. February 12th, 1997: 4 planes return to Vice City, from South America in 3 Shamals & 1 AT-400. The AT-400 has the ill Colonel, Mercedes, Juan’s brother, there sister, Juan’s nephews & nieces, & the luggage of course. The 3 Shamals carried all of the Cortez family’s guards & Mercedes 2 aids. June 18th 1997: Colonel Juan Cortez passed away in his sleep. He was 77 years old. June 20th, 1997 6:29pm: His wishes were to be laid in his boat cabin bed, dressed in his Hawaiian shirt, olive kakis, tan loafers, & his bible. Classical music was playing in the cabin. His yacht was set adrift, floating away into the sunset. June 20th, 1997 8:00pm: after the yacht was out of range of sight, the USA Coastguard sunk the Colonel’s yacht, as planed by Tommy & Mercedes, the day before. September 4th, 1997 Tommy & Mercedes reopen the print works. It is titled Vercetti Print Works. The Print prints a weakly news paper called “The Vice Empire”. It also prints a monthly magazine called “Women of Vice City”. Tommy’s media aids deal with the paper & Mercedes’ media aids deal with the magazine. . From September 8th, 1997-April 1st 2000, it was just life & business as usual for the Vercetti Family. March 1998: Avery Carrington was killed in Liberty City, or so you think! Some how Avery survived the attack, but faked the death part for awhile. Before I smuggled Avery out of Liberty, he found out (through me) that his apprentice (Donald Love) was the man who hired a contract killer to kill him. Since Avery was believed to be dead, “Love” took over his real-estate empire, then sold it, & bought all the media in Liberty City. (Love Media) April 2nd 1998: Avery arrived back in Vice City @ the Docks. He had taken the only safe way home, by boat. (My Export Dock in Portland) Tommy was given the “key” to the city award; for all of his donations & contributions to the city over the years. May 10th 1999: The family was getting their mansion remodeled. Tommy & Mercedes stayed @ one of there residences of/at 3321Vice Point Blvd. They stayed there until the completion of there Estate, a year later. June 1st 1999: 30 Vercetti guards land @ Francis International Airport. They are watched by my new allies, the Yakuza. The Yakuza has established a safe haven for my friends. The Vercetti family is to stay @ my now half owed apartment complex. June 7th 1999: The Vercetti Family was getting packed & ready for a month long vacation in Liberty City. -5:00pm: They landed @ the airport. -6:00pm: They landed @ my hotel’s roof helipad. -6:30pm: They were all settled in their rented (free of charge), penthouse. Once the kids were settled & unpacked, Tommy & Mercedes walked up to our guest entrance of our penthouse. (We use the private service elevator to get to the other levels.) -7:00pm: Tommy & Mercedes signed our guest book as they entered. We greeted them @ the door. We gave them the grand tour of our home. I brought Tommy to my office & we talked for till dinner time. -8:12pm: Dinner was served. My godchildren joined us as well. -June 8th 12:00pm: Tommy I drove to the cemetery to visit my mother. We both said our peace. As I was sitting on the bench near my mother’s grave, Tommy saw a man who looked like my father. The man was slowly walking back towered his car. Tommy approached the man & said “Bob, Is it you?” The man turned around & quietly replied “Yes, Tommy! Yes.” I walked over & Bob said “My boys!! My beautiful Sons!!! I have been waiting for this moment for years.” Tommy & I looked @ each other & we sat down on a near by bench. My father told Tommy & me that we are brothers. @ First we thought that my father was joking, but that was not the issue. Apparently our father married an Italian woman named Marie Vercetti back in 1946, after he was discharged from the army. They lived in a small apartment above the bakery our father owned. After Marie died in 1958, Tommy was given his mother’s name due to the fact that our father way Irish. Our father thought it would be better if Tommy had a real Italian name instead of his Irish Italian one. (O’ Stevens) Then 3 months later our father sent Tommy to live w/his best friend Papie Staxx because our father was in trouble w/the Diablo’s. Then our father told us that in 1959 he met an exotic dancer named “Dolly”. They eventually dated for a while. He said “& one day she came to my bakery & said that she was pregnant & that it was mine. I just couldn’t get married again so I set her up w/some cash & an apartment above the now Pay N’ Spray. (She used to live w/a roommate in a Shit hole)” He added “Even though I didn’t marry you mother that didn’t mean that I didn’t care for her.” Our father told me then that he was @ the hospital when she was giving birth & that on my birth certificate it said that he was my father. He attended all my birthday celebrations up until I was 4 years old. After that, my mom thought that it would be to confusing for me if my father was only here on my birthdays. But now that I think back, Bob (my father) was always kind to me gave me little gifts when I went by the bakery, which was daily. -4:00pm: We drove our father back to his apartment in the red light district. We put our father in bed & told him that we’d be back the next day. -8:00pm: @ diner Tommy & I told our “girls” that we met our father & told them the whole story. July 10th, 12:00pm Tommy, Mercedes, V, Chris, Joseph, Naomi, & me drove to Portland to meet our father. But when we got there no-one answered. So we waited there for about an hour until finally someone from across the way, asked us if we were here to see Mr. O’ Stevens. We said yes! He said that he collapsed on his front steps that morning & died of a massive stroke. Tommy & I (alone) drove down to the morgue & had reservations for him to be buried next to our mothers. (Oddly enough, my mother & Tommy’s mother were both buried next to each other) -July 13th Bachelor & Bachelorette Parties: Tommy took me out w/ my soon to be brother & father in-laws to a gentlemen’s club in Torrington. Mercedes took Naomi & her mother to a spa in Bedford Point. -July 14th Wedding Day: It was my wedding day. Tommy was my best man & my 2 godsons & my brother-in-law were my groomsmen. Mercedes was Naomi’s maid of honor & V, Mrs. Tokmi, & Naomi’s best friend were her bridesmaids. We had a traditional Roman Catholic wedding. -1:00pm Naomi & I were pronounced Husband & Wife. We kissed, walked down the isle, posed for a few pictures, ran down the Church steps w/rice being thrown down on us & entered the Stretch Limo. -1:30-7:00pm: we had a marvelous reception. The Vercettis gave us a house in Paradiso, San Fierro, San Andreas, stock share in the Four Dragons Casino. The Tokmi family gave us protection, love & money. -July 31st: The Vecetti family returned home. April 1st 2000: Tommy has 30 awards; 1. The annual “Vice Fast Boat” race; he won a total of; 15 races so far. 2. He was man of the year; 6 times 3. Tommy also received 8 other awards for various things. October 17th 2000: Joseph’s & Veronica’s 16th birthday bash: October 09th 2000 3:27pm, (Eight days before): Tommy leaves Vice City, on a business trip to Las Venturas, San Andreas. He was invited to the Four Dragons Casino, by a Mr. Kent Rosenberg. Four hours before that, 20 Vercetti agents land @ Las Venturas International Airport. 4 agents’ checkout the Casino setup, to see if is legit. 6 agents seek out four possible safe houses/places for emergency safety. The last10 agents secure the airport & transportation for this event. The setup is ready: 4 houses are secure (rented); 1. 4478 Pleasant Way in Prickle Pine. 2. 979 Rockshore Dr. apt. 12, in Rockshore West. 3. 2 Corner Lane. In Montgomery 4. 112 Poplar Rd. Las Noisy Runway Motel at Las Venturas Airport. 5 Vehicles; 1. One Stretch (limo) 2. Three Sentinels 3. One sky blue Maverick The agents had let Tommy know that the meet was legit & everything was set! As Tommy landed, the limo & the two sedans met Tommy @ the end of the runway. Tommy’s agents drove him to the Four Dragons to meet Kent & Woozie. It was/is unknown as what was said or happened at the meet. All I know now, today, is that Tommy is a partner of Woozie’s Casino & a stock shareholder. For the next 6 days Tommy, Kent, & Woozie met with each other & traveled the state. Tommy even met another friend along the way, a Mr. Carl Johnson. (CJ) I turns out that Tommy & CJ lived/stayed in the same neck of the woods (so to speak), at different times though. Tommy & CJ stayed close after that meet. (So I heard) It is my own opinion that the main reason for Tommy Vercetti going over there was to see an old friend, make a new partner, & plan one of the best sweet 16 birthdays known to man! Tommy meeting CJ, to me was just another bonus. The Birthday plan was: 1. Pay the city of Las Venturas & a lot of people to participate in the big event. 2. Close the Las Venturas strip down to all traffic except there’s & other VIPs. 3. Pay for the god dang best cleaning & maintenance crews, to clean up & fix the strip. 4. Make the strip Lear Jet landing ready/possible. 5. Rented a newly built Casino 6. Have a mile wide secure perimeter with a mile wide “No Fly Zone” to all other aircraft except there’s. From what I remember, the party was a great success! The party was a VIP & invitation only event. It was rumored that all others who tried to gain access were shot. Wait a minute, that can’t be right! Ah, who knows! The event (16th b-day) lasted a full 24 hours! It was said that over 1800 people attended the event. Naomi & I gave both Joseph & Veronica the new ’01 Manchez bike gta:???. Tommy & Mercedes gave her lots of other gifts including an all new ’01 Mesa Grand concept gta:???. --THE AFTERMATH-- 129 family members; (every member of the Vercetti/Cortez family) were at the event. 690 Vercrtti Men; Agents, Bodyguards, Servants, & Pilots/Drivers. 871 Guests; friends, colleagues, casino VIPs, & city officials. 1120 Law Enforcers; 1030 San Andreas army/air army national guards troops, 20 FBI agents, 20 local Swat team members, & 50 police officers. October 30th 2000: The Vercetti Family returns home to the always beautiful Vice City! June 4th 2002; The Vercetti Family moves into there remodeled Estate. + Tommy & Mercedes celebrated their 14th wedding anniversary. (They held a tiny event, just the two of them) July 11th 2002; Thursday 9:00am; The Vercetti Family boarded 3 of their Shamals, to Los Santos, San Andreas, for vacation. Tommy, Mercedes, & two of their guards were aboard the last plane. 5 hours later all three Shamals enter the state of SA. Tommy’s plane took-off ten minuets later than the others, & when they entered the state of SA, there was a heavy fog storm. Their plane (at the time) was flying North-South. @ That time they were flying over Las Payasdas, Bone County & into a big sand storm. They accidentally fly over the NO FLY ZONE & a S.A.M. shoots them down. The Shamal lost both engines, one due to the storm & the other to the missile. They landed/crashed on the railroad tracks, just south of the NO FLY SONE. Both pilots & one guard were killed in the crash. Tommy, Mercedes, & three guards were alive then. They unload the survival gear & move to the rear of the Cluckin’ Bell. The Gear: Tommy; tactical vest, m-4 w/ammo, 2 grenades, an Uzi w/ammo, a knife, a gi flashlight, & Medical Equipment pack. Mercedes; Covert/tactical Uniform, duel silent .45 auto, knife, a laser scoped sniper rifle, & night vision goggles. Guard 1; Tactical Vest, m-4 w/ammo, 4 grenades, a gi flashlight, & a knife. Guard 2; Dressed like a cop, with .45, chrome shotgun, nightstick, & a tech 9. Guard 3; Dressed like a swat officer, with an Uzi, .45, 2 teargas grenades, & a Ruger w/ammo. The mission was to: 1. Acquire 1-2 vehicles for transport. 2. Use GPS to locate Las Santos. 3. Travel to destination. 4. Recover from what just accrued. 6 & ½ minutes later, a Freight train carrying top secret stuff smashed through the jet, & derailed right after. The train had 15 Army troops on board, with 2 Cargobobs above, which holds anther 6 troops each. Anyway, the way I heard it happened after the derailment, one chopper was knocked down buy debris, from the jet. The other chopper landed & began to secure the area. Local Sheriff Deputies began to help secure the scene too. With-in minutes after that fire, ems, & some more army troops arrive. A perimeter was set-up from: The corner of Sherman Rd. & Fallow Turnpike. (Cluckin’ Bell corner), corner of Sherman Rd. & Nothin’ Down Here Dr. (by the Lil’ Probe Inn), & at the area of the truck stop on Fallow Turnpike. In the parking lot of the Cluckin’ Bell were 2 ploice Ranchers, 1 Wayfarer, 1 Journey, 3 Freeways, & 1 Huntly. (NOTE; ALL VEHICLES SAID NOW WERE GTA:SA) Tommy, Mercedes, Guard 1 & 2 were sitting inside Cluckin’ Bell. Everyone else inside Cluckin’ Bell didn’t see the group as a threat, because they see three people with military gear & 1 officer. Meanwhile, Guard 3 is surveying the area, to gather Intel on the situation. (Guard 3 is an ex-marine corp. Lt. Col.) 12 Minutes later Guard 3 radios the group saying that she’s 30 seconds away & to be ready to quickly jump into the Landstalker. -2:24pm; Guard 3 screeches the SUV to a Holt in the lot. She quickly jumps out! Tommy gets in the driver seat, Mercedes hops into the right passenger side, Guard 2 jumps into the left passenger side, Guard 1 gets in the front passenger seat, & Guard 3 climbs through the tailgate & into the back. While they all were getting in, the Sheriff Deputies noticed them & alerted the Cavalry. As the group sped off, Mercedes leaned out the window w/her rifle. She shot 5 rounds. Each round hit the gas tank of certain vehicles; the Huntly which was parked next to 2 Rangers, an Enforcer, & 2 Police cars, LVPD. After that, they acquired 3 wanted stars. The group dashes down Fallow Turnpike & on to Fallow Bridge. Guard 3 shot a Roadtrain haling an X-oomer gas tank trailer, at the entrance to the bridge, making a fiery roadblock. Then 2 choppers arrived, one a Police Maverick & the other a News Chopper. The News Copper crashed into a tree so the other Chopper was told to back off. The group takes refuge in Palomino Creek. Tommy got a hold of CJ, on the phone. CJ lets the group stay at his safe house, in that town. They arrive there on foot. They dumped the Landstalker into Fisher’s Lagoon. They left most of the guns & gear in the SUV. They were wearing their regular outfits w/only a concealed .45 & knife, each. Once inside they rested for awhile. - 4:19pm; the fog was really heavy. It’s been raining for 2 ½ hours than. Apparently from what I remember hearing from RNN (RockStar New Network), It was raining on & off for about a month or so, there in Las Santos. CJ arrived 10 minutes later w/some home boys. CJ told Tommy that the police fond the car abandoned in the lake & that they’re searching the town, for them. In the garage, CJ has a bulletproof Patriot w/winch, gta:sa. CJ, Tommy, Mercedes, Homie 1, & Guard 3 get into the Patriot. Two other groups of 2 set off to distract the lawmen. Both groups had one Homie & one Guard, equipped with one MP5 each. Both groups used the Quad bike. - - 4:37pm; (Over the radio) “This is a special new bulletin! Warning! Due to the large amount of rainfall over the past month, most roads will be closed! Landslides have already accrued; crippling curtain parts of the Interstate Highway 1. Major flooding has washed away some roads & bridges along with land. Residences are told to stay indoors & ride out the storm. Police & the National Guard have been dispatched throughout Red County, to maintain order & help evacuate if needed.” The reporter also said the following; “Also be on the lookout for 5 people wanted for murder, grand theft auto, destruction of property, & evading police. They were last seen by Fisher’s Lagoon. They are very armed & dangerous! So if you spot one or more, contact you local Sheriff’s Department, stay away from them!” CJ knew that this was going to be a tough task. -4:40pm; the next door neighbor heard the new bulletin, & contacted the authorities. The group heard the call come in on their police scanner. They had 4 wanted stars. The two groups on the quads (bikers) rode off to scout & distract the cops. The scouts said that they area was swarming w/cops, & that the National Guard has the major roads blocked. Their only way out was an off road trail, that was very unsafe, due to the storm. They raced out the driveway & turned left, then right, than left again & then strait, until they were boxed in. They all got out & started shooting @ the cops. (The best exit point was small ally/parking area in between two homes, but it was blocked by an Enforcer.) The law had the tools for a successful 4-way roadblock, but lacked the manpower to enforce-it. The number of cops was dropping rapidly. The Lt. called for the National Guard to reinforce them. Soon 2 police Mavericks hover over the scene. Tommy picks up an Uzi from a swat officer, & began to lay down suppression fire. CJ, then took out a RPG w/4 extra rounds, from the Patriot. With the Army a block away, CJ aimed, fired, & shot down both Mavericks with one round. Both choppers spin around & crashed down on the law. Guard 3 moved the Swat Van out of the way & quickly raided it, as well. She supposedly took 3 body armor, 4 more .45 mags each, 2 Uzis, & a sniper rifle. The group then, climbed back into the Patriot, & made their escape onto the muddy terrain. From there they drove strait & over a small rocky hill & onto the trail. The trail sits next to a pair of RR tracks. At the time the Brown Streak RR did not know about the landslide that laid on-top of the tracks. Well the “gang”, was driving up the trail & over a narrow bridge that goes over the track, & once they got over they slid down the mudslide path & almost went over the cliff. -5:10pm; the train exits the tunnel & derails due to the landslide. The front passenger car stops just 4 feet from the Patriot. Mean while, the two Quad Bike teams escape Palomino Creek & drive South East to Dillmore. Dillmore, was completely flooded. The two teams couldn’t see the flood waters, & drove strait into it. -5:30pm; the train wreck survivors, make way back through the tunnel to meet authorities & rescue. Tommy, Mercedes’, CJ, Guard 3, & Homie 1 traveled w/the train passengers through the tunnel until they came across an access door. Guard 3 used Mercedes’ silenced .45 to shoot the locked door’s lock. Apparently it led to an escape ladder that goes to the surface. The now “old” escape ladder/hatch led to North Rock near an old multipurpose cabin, which was re-reinvaded for what I herd was the 16th time, now. @ That time it was a FBI safe house, though due to the storm it was locked up. (Meaning no body was home) The group broke into the cabin & settled down for the night. Meanwhile back @ Dillmore, the two teams are hurt badly. When they hit the water, they went fly’ in! Homie 3 was dead, Homie 2 was slightly wounded, Guard 1 was out cold, & Guard 2 had a broken back. Homie 2 left Dilmore alone, to find help. 10:00pm; Homie 2 was running as fast as he could, from a renegade army platoon, headed back to Dillmore. 12:25am; the Storm is now gone. 8:00am Fri. July 12th; the group were awake & ready to go when they heard (over the police radio): Officer:”Ah, Sgt! I think it’s time we call of the search for the 5 wanted men.” Sgt.: “Why’s that, Dan!’ Officer: “Well Pete, the suspect vehicle was just found at the bottom of the cliff; hear by the tracks, destroyed by the weight & impact of the locomotive from the train wreck.” Sgt.: “Body count?” Officer: “10 Sir!” Sgt.: “10-4“ Sgt.: “Sgt. Pete Tomas to all law authorities Thanks for your help in searching for the 5 wanted men. We found them dead this morning. “ State officer: “‘bout f**k’en time guys, gees!” With that said, Tommy used his cell phone to call his kids, to let them know their ok. Minuets later, 4 FBI Rangers, 2 Sheriff Rangers, & 2 Ambulances, converse on the broken into, safe house. The house had a silent alarm, but the Feds couldn’t get up there due to the storm, until now. At the time the conversing law thought that it was just some stranded people from the storm. Ok! Here’s the situation: (Inside): Tommy had an Uzi w/2 ½ mags, a .45 w/3 mags, Armor & a knife. Mercedes had a bolt action rifle, a silenced .45w/ 4 mags , Armor & a knife. Guard 3 had a .45 w/4 mags, & a knife. CJ had Uzi w/3 mags, a Desert Eagle w/8 mags, 6 Molotov Cocktails, & Armor Homie 1 had a Stubby shotgun w/20 shells, a..45 w/ 2 mags, & a Tek-9 w/4 mags. (The Plan): The plan was to hide the big weapons, & conceal the smaller ones on them. To let the law in & just act cool, but more like storm survivors. Then attack! (Outside): 16 Feds carrying MP5s w/4mags each & .45s w/ 4 mags each. 5 Sheriff Deputies who had a .45 w/4 mags each, & 2 of the Deputies had a chrome shotgun as well w/12 shells each & 4 Paramedics. (The Plan): The Law arrived from two different locations & already a plan. Two teams: Team 1; 2 FBI Rangers, 1 Police Ranger, & 1 Ambulance. (front) Team 2: Ditto. (back) Show Time: Both Fed teams enter the cabin, from the front & the rear. They call an “All Clear”. Just then, the Feds stand down. The team leader calls their boss that everything is fine. 2 Deputies & the Paramedics see the condition of the group. 8:30am; the group was given some food & drinks & the medics treated their wounds. By that time 2 of the FBI Ranger had left the scene. Tommy & Homie 1 were outside chatting. Guard 3 & Mercedes were inside preparing. CJ was well know in the parts of the state & was distracting the Deputies. The rest of the feds were around, patrolling. This was it! None of the Law was near any radios. Tommy & Guard 3 used their knives to cut the throats of two Deputies, & then Guard 3 used Mercedes’ silenced .45 to kill the other two, before they could react. But then a Fed comes around & sees the Deputies dead. He tapped the trigger! Tr-Troo! Guard 3 was shot in the arm & shoulder. Mercedes quickly reacts by shooting the Fed in the head, with the sniper rifle. That alerted the other Feds. Homie 1 & CJ took care of the rest. The medics were tied up inside the cabin during that battle. 9:14am; CJ drops Tommy, Mercedes, & Guard 3 off at their Manson Rental @ 22 Dream Home Rd.

The Party was held @ the Family’s Mansion. I was one of 268 guests that were invited/attended the party. There were other special guests that came as well!! Such guests as: The Johnson Family (from San Andreas), Kent Paul, Governor Alex Shrub, & Mayor Donn’el Dukw. I flew Down to The party from Liberty City, & was picked up from the airport. Anyway, the party was a blast. It was a private party. Even the dang paparazzi couldn’t get close. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well that’s the Story, so far! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Now you’ve probably noticed that there have been some references to “me” in the story. So, well here’s my short story: Name: Robert Schmitt Wife: Naomi <Tokmi> Schmitt Occupation/businesses: Owner of; importing & exporting, two pay N’ Sprays ‘87-‘01, & co-owner of the Staxx Plaza Hotel. –Note: I’ve even had my most successful business (A gambling hall), destroyed back in ’98 when a man who I’m not going to mention, blew up two-four blocks of businesses (Fort Staunton), to make way for a new building development. Current City: Belleville Park; Staunton, Liberty City Born In: (Portland) Red Light District, in 1960 Gang Relations/affiliates: The Forelli Crime Family ’69-’98, The Vercetti Family ’87-present day, & The Yakuza ’98 - present day. About me: I’ve been a close friend of Tommy’s since before he was arrested. (Back here in Liberty City) We lost contact for about a year & a half after he got out of jail. In that time I remember reading in the paper & hearing on the TV about all the activity going on in Vice City. For most of the activity I thought to myself “Tommy you crazy SOB, what are you doing!?” & then when I heard that Sonny Forelli was going down their, I knew @ that point that Sonny was a dead man. The Forelli Family just didn’t/doesn’t know what Tommy’s capable of. August 2nd 1987, I get a phone call from Tommy. He wanted me to be his best man @ his wedding. He sent a plane to pick me up. While I was down there I set up an import business for myself, w/Tommy’s help of course. I was living down there from 1987-1992. In that time, I became god parents to Tommy & Mercedes’ three children & I did other stuff wile I was there too. Today, I live back here in Liberty City. I usually go down there twice a year to see everyone. Veronica used to come up her to compete in the annual “Dirt Bike challenge”, but that all stopped back in 1998 when all motorcycles were banned from the City.
