I scratched behind Tiberius' ears, "aw I've missed you SOOO much!". Tiberius tapped his foot repeatedly and panted while I scratched.

"WHAT IS HAPPENING?!" Niko asked.

Cassandra started petting Tiberius, "I missed you, ya large ass mutt". Tiberius licked her face, and she laughed.

"This is my pet hellhound, Tiberius" I said happily. "Roll over, boy!". Tiberius complied and laid on his back. I rubbed his massive belly, "gooood boooyyyy!". I grinned, "Luke is gonna be so happy to see you too when we get home!". He barked and rolled back over.

"Your family is fucking freaky" Haru said. "At least I have another big dog to talk to". Tiberius barked at him. Haru laughed, "yeah, I hear ya man".

"You can communicate with him?" I asked. "What'd he say?".

"He said he hates having to put on a monkey act to get treats and shit" Haru said.

"Oh..." I said. "I'm sorry boy, ask him what he wants to do". Tiberius barked.

"He wants to go hunting" Haru said.

I patted his middle head, "well we're going to Hell, so you'll be able to munch on a ton of demons". Tiberius barked happily.

Malik petted Tiberius, "I never understood how your father could tame a hellhound, much less a descendant of Cerberus".

"He got the only surviving pup when he was young, and they were raised together ever since" I said. "He told me himself".

"Hm, so it was a bond of friendship" Malik said. Tiberius barked.

"He said 'we're brothers, bitch'" Haru laughed. "A dog called you a bitch!". He patted Tiberius, "I think we're gonna be great friends". Tiberius barked, and Haru nodded.

"Dude you could go on tv and be a real dog whisperer" Niko suggested.

"That'd be a cool way to make some money, but I'd have to retire by fifty because I don't age, so I can just go back to doing what I do best, roaming around the land" Haru said.

"Why do that when you can find a hobby?" I asked him.

"Like what, traveling and seeing new things is fun" Haru said.

"Welding is fun" Niko said.

"You're a shop guy?" I asked him.

"Yeah, it's fun to work on cars and shit" Niko said. "I can get you hired as an apprentice at my shop".

"You own a shop?" Cassandra asked.

"Yeah, well, my cousin owns it, but he's cool man, he don't eat anyone" Niko said.

"He better not" Malik said.

"So hostile, you need to lighten up man" Niko said.

"Could I get hired as an apprentice too?" Cassandra asked.

"No offense, but you look like you'd scream at the sight of dirt" Niko said.

"I know my way around a car and how to use machines, my dad and uncle own an auto shop" Cassandra said, crossing her arms.

"You know how to MIG weld and use a grinder?" Niko asked.

"Baby stuff, I took apart and put a twenty-sixteen Dodge Challenger Hellcat back together when I was twelve" she scoffed.

"You're in, and most of the time, my cousin isn't watching, so I just make weapons or cut out symbols and spray paint them, and sell em to the locals to make more money" Niko said.
