My sweet ride


Starting first memory playback with: memory of certain day


[They walked outside, where there, they see all of the mafia trucks destroyed and engulfed in flames. Charred bodies of the mobsters were scattered all across the street. Seems the four of them got busy, and excited.]

[Daniel was smoking a cigarette just by the back of Hosea's truck, one hand on his cigarette, and the other on the turret in case of trouble. AJ motioned Hosea and Gordon to the front of the truck as W and Skullshatterer climbed up the back, with Daniel helping them.]

Daniel: "Any reason why there's a garage with dead men and armoured trucks?"

W: "Can I at least keep one? They look cool!"

Hosea: "We can't nick a truck, they're expecting a full package. Gordon, direct AJ to New Seattle Health Centre."

[Gordon then proceeds to direct AJ to the New Seattle Health Centre. After getting out New South Park, several Marauder technicals, and tow trucks passed by them. Skullshatterer, Daniel, and W almost acted, but Hosea yelled for them to hold their fire.]

Hosea: "I made a deal with the boss. We just have to talk with him, then we can go."

W: "Hey, old man? Just what screw got loose in your head that made you agree on joining on checking on a coil that's about to explode?"

Hosea: "Look, it was...a bad idea now that I think about it, but if we didn't, well, how long do you plan to stay here exactly? We need to be prepared for the unexpected, okay?"

Gordon: "What's happening at camp while we're gone? It's been about a day, right?"

Skullshatterer: "Yeah, and in just one day, people are starting to go nuts about the exploding coil thing. Maybe lying is good after all, knowing that the truth...well..."

Hosea: "Shielding people from the truth, and exposing the truth aren't exactly good ideas. One helps the people calm down, but when the problem begins to rear its ugly head, chaos breaks down. Expose the truth, well...people are contented, but chaos still breaks down because of it."

W: "Maybe you should teach Talulah that... Hey, Gordon? Your friend back there."

Gordon: "Is Lyudmila okay?"

W: "Question, just...how exactly are you two so...close to each other?"

Gordon: "We hung out, like...basically the halved of our lives, I always thought to move into Ursus, just to be close to her, until I realised how xenophobic that bear country is. How is she, like... I asked?"

Skullshatterer: "Panicking and freaking out after you were gone for, like, a whole day."

*Gordon wrinkled his face in disbelief, he looks over his shoulder, to listen intently. Hosea had to adjust himself because of the crowded seats.*

Gordon: "What?"

W: "You didn't expect your own best friend to be that worried about you?"

Gordon: "Well, not when it's her. I... You sure you ain't fucking with me right now?"

Skullshatterer: "No, no we aren't fucking with you."

W: "Never seen her that anxious ever since we attacked New Warsaw. She never told us about you, not even once, and, well, she's tough and quiet before we went down south."

AJ: "Perhaps she thought you were dead, Gordon. Until she went here. She faced through a lot, don't you know?"

Gordon: "I... I have no idea..."
