Jake and Liara face off and Liara makes a total of 7 points

Jake: Alright not bad. Watch this.

Jake gets draws the bow and gets ready to fire and when he fires the arrow doesn't go far and lands in front of him and Liara laughs

Jake: Shit! Hold on let me try again.

Jason hesitates but eventually takes his hood and mask off

Bradley: Well i'll be damned. Jason Allen. Jason: Is this going to change our partnership? Bradley: I don't know, we'll just have to see what you do, don't we? Jason: But what about Alexis? Bradley: Nothing, nothing's going to happen to her.

In the streets of Deacon, Oscar is aggressively looking for Black Mask and has a member of his gang hanging by his legs

Oscar: I'm not going to ask again. Where's Sionis!

Oscar grows frustrated and punches him

Black Mask Thug: You're crazy if you think you're getting anything out of me!

Oscar takes a knife out and stabs him in the stomach but keeps the knife in

Oscar: How about now?

The Black Mask thug just groans in more pain frustrating Oscar more and starts slowly pulling the knife out

Oscar: You are testing my patience. Talk, or you die!
