Liam walked into the Steinway Beer Garden, hoping that Sarah Bennington would be working today. To his delight, she was there, standing behind the bar, polishing the glasses. Packie was also sitting at the bar, downing a shot of whiskey.

"So I've been hearing that they're trying to get the Yakuza to cover their weak Italian asses." Packie told Sarah with a laugh.

Sarah just giggled and rolled her eyes. "You and the boys are a strange group of people, Packie. Always have been." The blond British barmaid told Packie before her eyes fell on Liam. "Oh, Liam! Hello!" She told the other McReary with a kind smile.

"Hello, Sarah." Liam told Sarah with the same kind smile. "I was hoping you'd be working today. Last time we met, we didn't really have the chance to talk. So I was kinda hoping that we'd be able to talk now." He explained to her.

Sarah smiled and nodded. "Of course. I've always got time to chat it up a bit with the customers. That's one of the things I like about my job." She replied to Liam.

Packie laughed a bit at that. "Hey, you lovebirds could always have a talk while you're off duty, Sarah. You and Liam should go out on a date some time." He suggested to the blond Brit.

Both Liam and Sarah blushed a bit at that. "U-Uh...I...guess that would be nice...if it's fine with Sarah, that is..." Liam muttered as he rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. He didn't get a lot of dates back in the old country, so he wasn't very sure if he could successfully take Sarah out on a date.

"I...wouldn't mind going on a date sometime, yeah." Sarah nodded as she wrote something down on her notepad and tore off a sheet, handing it to Liam. "Here's my phone number. Call me sometime, Liam." She told the Irishman.

Liam smiled as he held the sheet of paper in his right hand. "And here's mine." He replied as he wrote down his own phone number on the notepad for Sarah. "I hope to see you again soon." He told her.

"Same to you, Liam. I'm looking forward to our date." Sarah replied as she blushed a bit more, with Liam doing the same.

Packie laughed a bit more. "Well, guess you got yourself a date, cousin. Now how about you and I go for a walk around the block?" He suggested to Liam.

"That wouldn't hurt, I guess. See you soon, Sarah." Liam told Sarah before heading out the bar with Packie.

"Bye, Liam." Sarah smiled before going back to work.

"So, Packie, what's going on? Anything I should know of?" Liam asked Packie. Now that Packie was the new head of the McReary Crime Family, Liam would often be asking him of any updates in the McRearys' second rise to power. He wanted to do anything in his power to help restore his family's criminal empire to its former glory.

"Well, it might be against the tradition of an Irish Mob, but fuck it, we might as well get in on the trade. The drug market is rising sky high here in LC, Liam. And everyone's trying to take advantage of the craze. Apparently these fucking hairy ass biker guys known as The Lost MC are trying to take advantage of it as well. They've got a few drug businesses set up around the city, and I want you to go and hit all of those businesses and claim whatever finished product they got and get it for our use. We're gonna be adding it to a big pile of product we're gonna be selling to a buyer that Derrick's trying to arrange for us." Packie explained to Liam as they were walking around the block.

"Okay, do you have any idea where these drug businesses could be?" Liam asked Packie again.

"I'll text you the locations of the businesses to your phone. Once you got the stuff, take it to a warehouse Derrick's renting out over at the docks of Algonquin. His boys will take care of the stuff." Packie told Liam as they stopped at a green Oracle, and Packie got into it. "Call me once you delivered the stuff." He added before driving off.

"I got it, Packie. I'll take care of it." Liam replied as he walked over to a nearby Sanchez and got onto it. He then drove off towards the first business on his list, which was located in Fishmarket North. Once he got there, he saw a bunch of members of The Lost guarding the place.

"Those must be those hairy ass biker guys Packie was talking about...Just gotta take them out and grab whatever drugs they're stashing in this place..." Liam said to himself before he got off his Sanchez and began shooting at The Lost, eventually managing to kill all of them, and he then went inside the drug business they had set up inside the building they were guarding.

Once inside, Liam was greeted by more members of The Lost, who began to shoot at Liam on sight, but Liam managed to take them out as well. Once all of the members of The Lost inside the building were dead as well, Liam looked around the building, finding a stash of methamphetamine that had been produced by The Lost. Liam grinned as he saw the meth and proceeded to grab it off the table. He then texted Packie that he found some of the drugs. He got a text from Packie soon after.

"Alright, one business down, three more to go. The McRearys will rise again!" Packie's text read. Liam then left the building again and got back on his Sanchez, then drove off towards the next business. Members of The Lost then began chasing after Liam and shooting at them.

"Can you assholes please fuck off?! I can't imagine how my family would feel if they lost me today!" Liam shouted at The Lost as he fired at them with one of his guns. With Francis and Kate dead and Gerry in prison, Liam was going to prevent himself from becoming the next McReary to perish, as his family needed him more than ever in their current situation. Once he had taken out the members of The Lost MC, Liam proceeded to arrive in Alderney City, and went down to Acter, where the next drug business under the ownership of The Lost MC was located.

Once he had arrived at the business, Liam saw more members of The Lost MC outside, and having been warned about Liam's attack on their methamphetamine lab in Fishmarket North, the members of The Lost MC began to shoot at Liam as soon as they saw him. Liam began to fight The Lost and took all of them out. He then went inside and killed the rest of The Lost MC that was present at the business, which happened to be a weed farm.

Liam found a bunch of kush sitting on a table, and he quickly grabbed it off the table before heading back outside and getting back on his Sanchez, then drove off towards the next business as more members of The Lost gave chase. Liam managed to kill them, however, and soon arrived at the next business, where he killed more members of The Lost MC that were guarding the place before heading inside.

The business, which happened to be a cocaine lockup had more members of The Lost inside, and despite their efforts to stop Liam from taking their cocaine, Liam managed to kill them and grabbed the cocaine that had already been produced off a table, then went back outside and got back on his Sanchez. As more members of The Lost gave chase to Liam in an attempt to stop him from raiding any more of their businesses, Liam managed to kill them as well.

"You'd think that after raiding so many of their businesses, they'd try and reinforce the places better. Guess not." Liam said to himself with a shrug of his shoulders. He then arrived at the final business, which had more members of The Lost MC outside, but Liam managed to take out all of them and went inside the business, which happened to be a place for producing pills. After killing the remaining members of The Lost that were inside, Liam grabbed a stash of pills and left the place again.

"Alright, I got all the stuff. Now I gotta get it over to that warehouse Derrick's renting out on the docks of Algonquin..." Liam said to himself as he began to drive over to the warehouse, and once he got there, Liam was greeted by a few of Derrick's boys.

"Hey there. You're Derrick's cousin, ain't ya?" One of Derrick's boys said to Liam as he got off his Sanchez and walked over to the boys with a plastic bag filled with the drugs he had stolen off The Lost MC.

"That would be me. Here's the stuff my other cousin Packie had assigned me to find for you guys. Take good care of it. And don't even think about consuming this shit for yourselves." Liam warned as he handed over the drugs to the boys.

"Wouldn't think of doing so in our wildest dreams." Another one of the boys jokingly replied as he took the drugs from Liam.

"Yeah, we'll take care of this shit. Call Packie, and inform him the job's done." The last of the boys said as they went inside the warehouse.

"Alright." Liam nodded as he left the scene and got back on his Sanchez, then drove off again. He then proceeded to call Packie.

"Packie, I got the stuff, and I brought it to the warehouse Derrick's renting out on the docks of Algonquin. His boys got the stuff, and they're now taking care of it." Liam informed Packie once Packie answered his phone.

"Glad to hear that, Liam! With every successful move we make, the McRearys are one step closer to the height of their second rise to power! If I got anything else coming down the line, I'll let you know! Packie out!" Packie replied as he hung up the phone. Liam then began driving his Sanchez through the streets of Liberty City.

The next day, Liam was in his room, getting himself ready for his first date with Sarah. He put on a white t-shirt along with blue trousers and an unzipped green hoodie along with a pair of white trainers. "This should be enough to impress Sarah...I hope..." Liam said to himself as he proceeded to head downstairs. As he was about to head outside, his Auntie Maureen came into the hallway as well, and she couldn't help but smile as she saw her nephew dressed nicely like that.

"Hello, Liam. You look nice. Going somewhere nice as well?" She asked Liam.

Liam smiled back at her. "Hello, Auntie Maureen. And yes, I am going somewhere nice. I'm going to take a girl I like out on a date." He told her.

His Auntie Maureen couldn't help but smile upon hearing that. Her sons never really had much success with women, as Gerry had been married three times before, with each of those marriages ending in divorces, and Packie's cocaine habit has rendered him unable to find women without cocaine in his system, and when he did manage to get the company of women, he would usually spend his time in the bathroom snorting rails of coke. She hoped that Liam would be a different case.

"I'm glad to hear that, Liam. I wish you luck on your date." She told Liam.

"Thanks, Auntie Maureen. Be safe." Liam nodded as he went outside and stepped inside a white Schafter that was parked outside the McReary Residence. Liam wasn't sure who the car belonged to, but he assumed it belonged to Packie or Derrick, as he wasn't sure why else the car would be parked outside the family residence.

"I'm sure Packie or Derrick won't mind if I borrow this car..." Liam told himself before grabbing his phone and calling Sarah.

"Hello, Liam? Is that you?" Sarah asked as she answered the phone.

"Hey, Sarah. It's me. Listen, I'm coming to pick you up for our date. Where are you at?" Liam asked Sarah with a smile, although Sarah couldn't see him smile.

"I'm at my apartment in South Slopes in Broker. It's Apartment #45. See you there." Sarah happily replied.

"Alright, see you soon." Liam replied back before hanging up the phone and driving towards South Slopes in Broker. He wasn't sure what to do on his first date with Sarah, as he wasn't familiar with the establishments in Liberty City that well yet, nor did he get a lot of dates back in the old country, but he was sure that Sarah wasn't picky for dating preferences, so he was sure that this first date was going to go just fine.

Liam then arrived at the apartment complex Sarah lived in, then got out of the car and walked up to the apartment complex, counting the apartment numbers before seeing Apartment #45. He proceeded to buzz in.

"Hello?" Sarah said as she answered the buzzer.

"Hey, Sarah. It's me, Liam. Can I come in?" Liam asked Sarah.

"Sure, come on in. I'm just getting myself ready for a bit." Sarah replied as Liam nodded and went inside, then arrived at Sarah's apartment. Sarah opened the door. She was dressed in a white t-shirt along with a pair of stonewashed blue jeans and black and white shoes.

"Hey. You look nice." Liam told Sarah with a smile.

Sarah smiled back. "Thanks, you look nice as well." She replied as she let Liam in. The Irishman looked around the apartment. It wasn't anything special; It was a typical Liberty City apartment with typical Liberty City furniture. There were some photos standing on a dresser in the living room, and Liam noticed the photos.

"Nice pictures. Are those your family?" Liam asked Sarah, pointing at the photos.

Sarah nodded. "They are. Those are photos of my mother, my father and my older cousin Owen. The four of us moved from West London to Liberty City back in 1998 after my aunt died. We wanted to have a fresh new start in a new country, hence why we came to the States." She explained.

Liam nodded at that. "I see...I'm sorry about your aunt." He replied.

"It's fine. To be honest, I didn't know her that well. It was more of a loss for Owen, as my aunt was his mother. He didn't have anywhere else to go, so my parents took him in and raised him from that point on." Sarah continued to explain.

Liam nodded again. "I see. It was very nice of your parents to do that for him." He remarked.

Sarah nodded back. "Indeed. My parents worked very hard to provide for the two of us, even after moving to the States. Thanks to them, I was able to buy an apartment of my own, which is the apartment we're standing in right now." She continued to explain.

"Alright. Well, are you ready to head out?" Liam then asked Sarah.

Sarah nodded again. "Sure. Let me lock up the place, and then I'm ready." She replied as the two of them went outside and Sarah locked up her apartment. She and Liam then went outside and got into the white Schafter that was outside.

"Nice car. Is it yours?" Sarah asked.

Liam shook his head. "No, it's not. It was parked in front of the family residence, so I assumed it belonged to Packie or Derrick, and seeing as I don't have my own car yet as I just got to the city after a long time gone, I decided to borrow it. I'm sure Packie or Derrick won't mind." He told her.

Sarah nodded at that. "I understand. Money is quite an issue in this country, that's something I've learned growing up. So, did you have any place in mind for our date?" She asked Liam.

"Not really, as I'm not all that familiar with the establishments in Liberty City yet. What places do you really like to go to?" Liam asked her back.

Sarah thought about it. "Well, me and Owen really like to go to the Superstar Café, as it reminds us of the old country of England." She replied.

Liam nodded at that. "Alright, let's head there then." He replied back as he began to drive towards the first Superstar Café location he could find.

"So you've been to Liberty City before?" Sarah asked Liam as they drove towards the Superstar Café.

Liam nodded. "Yeah. I actually spent most of my childhood here in Liberty City. I was born in the old country of Ireland, but my parents sent me to live with my auntie and uncle here in Liberty City because they thought it would help with my anger issues I had as a child." He told Sarah.

"Really, huh? You must've grown up to witness your cousins' criminal lifestyles then." Sarah remarked.

Liam nodded. "I did. My uncle ran a gang, and my cousins got involved in the business as well. He was...quite the character, so to speak. Derrick, Frankie, Gerry and Packie hated him, but Katie was on good terms with him. According to Gerry, he killed himself at some point, although Packie initially suspected Gerry of killing him.

"Yeah...When Kate was still alive, she often mentioned her brothers' criminal lifestyles to me when we hung out together. When I came over to her family's place for a cup of coffee sometimes, she would mention that her father is most likely in Hell." Sarah nodded back.

"Yeah...I wasn't particular fond of my uncle myself. It's a wonder Auntie Maureen managed to put up with everything he did to the boys. She's a very strong woman, and that's why I admire her so much." Liam remarked.

"That we can agree on." Sarah agreed. They then arrived at the Superstar Café in The Triangle at Denver-Exeter Avenue and Iron Street.

"Well, here we are. Let's head inside." Liam said as him and Sarah went inside. Later, after having eaten at the restaurant, Liam and Sarah went back outside.

"That was a good meal. Thank you for taking me here, Liam." Sarah told Liam with a smile.

Liam smiled back. "Anytime, Sarah. I can see why you and your cousin enjoy coming here. The food really has that British feel to it." He said as him and Sarah got back into the white Schafter and drove back towards South Slopes.

"So, do you have any interesting stories from growing up?" Liam asked Sarah curiously.

Sarah thought about it. "Well, I do recall this time where Owen and I went out with my father to a bar with a few of my father's friends for the bachelor party of one of my father's friends. Owen and I were still rather young at the time, but as my mother was busy at work and we couldn't afford a babysitter at the time, my father took me and Owen with him to his friend's bachelor party. Owen and I felt rather grown up to be able to spend the night with my father and his friends at a bar. One of my father's friends got drunk and started dancing on the table. Me, Owen, my father and the rest of his friends found it very funny and laughed at the scene, and my father's friend who got drunk later got thrown out of the bar for weeing on the floor." She told Liam with a giggle.

Liam couldn't help but laugh at that. "Aaaah, the crazy things people do when they get drunk..." He remarked. They then got back to Sarah's apartment in South Slopes.

"Well, thanks for today, Liam. That was really fun. We should do this again some time." Sarah told with a smile.

Liam smiled back. "Anytime, Sarah. And yeah, we should do this again some time. I found this to be fun as well." He agreed as Sarah got out of the car and walked towards the apartment building and went inside. Liam then drove off again, happy that his first date with Sarah went well.
