One: The City of Saints
"You have to go away, Tiana. Far away…no one must know your whereabouts."
"But where will I go?"
"I got somebody in San Andreas that'll help you out…Los Santos. Don't worry, I'll come and see you soon. For now, you must get out of Liberty City…"
The Santonian Air had just finished going through its last bout of turbulence, and began flying smoothly once again. Tiana finally unclenched the arm rest of the empty seat next to her, once she heard the pilot's smooth voice.
"We've gotten through the hard parts, ladies and gentlemen." He said through the loud speaker. "The rest of the plane ride should be smooth enough. We'll be arriving at the Los Santos International in approximately two hours."
Tiana played with her fingers for a couple of seconds, before noticing a black and blue bruise on the trailing the outside of her right index finger. She couldn't believe she was doing this, leaving the city that she had known all of her life, for another city that she had no idea about. I mean, who hasn't heard of Los Santos? Vinewood, Richman, Rockford Hills…only the wealthiest of the wealthy lived in those areas. And now she was going to be in the city where majority of the great American films are produced. Where dreams really do come true.
She should be excited about this….if only it weren't for the reason why she was going to Los Santos in the first place. But we will touch upon that as the story progresses on.
Within a couple of minutes after the pilot's announcement, Tiana had fell into a light sleep, which last until the plane was beginning to land. It started to shake lightly, and she opened her eyes quick. The Los Santos skyline was breath taking, even in the rain. It was almost as beautiful as the Algonquin skyline. Almost. She held her breath until the plane landed completely, and came to a complete stop.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, we have arrived in Los Santos. We hope you've had a satisfactory plane ride, and please feel free to ride the Santonian Air as soon as you can. You may now exit the plane; thank you, and have a nice day!" The pilot said through the speaker.
She grabbed her tote out of the empty seat next to her and stood up, stuffing her blanket in it. After walking off of the plane, she made her way to baggage claim and picked up her suitcase. Tiana walked to the front of the airport, and hailed one of the taxi cabs that weren't too far away.
"Where to, miss?" The driver asked once she got inside.
"One second please." She said politely, digging into her tote. She took out an envelope and opened it, in it was another small piece of paper, with instruction.
Don't read until you are in L.S.
1. Once in L.S., go to 989 Utopia Gardens. Your apartment is 34, the key is under the mat.
2. Once settled, go to FIB HQ in Pillbox Hill. Ask to speak to Dave Norton. Mention my name. They'll know what you're there for.
3. Listen to what Dave says. He's the one protecting your life for now on.
"989 Utopia Gardens please?" She finally said after a couple of seconds of silence.
"Sure thing." The driver said, and pulled out of the airport entrance. "So, let me guess where you're from."
"Okay, go ahead." She challenged.
"Going off of your husky accent, definitely from the East Coast."
Tiana smirked and nodded, "You're halfway there."
"Liberty City." He said. "Am I right?"
"You are correct."
"Great, great! How is it over there? Is it anything like here?"
"If you have rude drivers, rude pedestrians and crime over here, than I guess it is."
"And we have all of that here." The driver said, chuckling. "Welcome to the beautiful Los Santos. The City of Saints."
Tiana laughed and thanked him coolly, before lying back against the seat. The rain was finally letting up, and the sun was trying to creep behind the clouds. She was taking a minute to convince herself this was the right thing. She had to leave everything she knew and loved behind in L.C.
Within minutes, she was in front of a pretty decent looking apartment building. It didn't look like it was in a bad neighborhood, it actually looked pretty affluent.
"Here we are, miss. Mirror Park is a pretty nice neighborhood." The driver said.
"Really? Well, that's good." She took out a ten dollar bill and handed it to him. "Here you go. Thank you so much."
"No problem, you have a good one."
"You too!" She called out as she got out of the cab. She grabbed her bag out of the trunk and made her way into the apartment building. There was someone in the lobby, sitting at the front desk, but they were too busy watching whatever was on the computer in front of them.
Tiana got on the elevator and took it to the third floor. When she got off of it, she walked down the hall to find her apartment. Once she did, she lifted the mat in front of the door and found a single key. She unlocked and opened the door, and walked outside, taking a quick look around. It was nice and spacious, and all of the appliances looked brand new. Tiana couldn't help but feel happy that she would be living a nicer apartment, especially after staying in a rinky dink studio apartment in North Holland for two years. She continued to take a walk around the apartment, and realized it was a one bedroom. She didn't mind, because the bedroom was huge, and in the middle of it was a king sized bed. She dropped her suitcase at the foot of the bed and sat on it, realizing it was soft…really soft. She fell back on it and felt her body being sucked in by the bed. Her tense muscles began to relax, and her breathing became slower, steadier.
I'll just take a quick little hour nap, and then I'll head out to meet this Dave dude, she thought sleepily as she felt her eyes close slowly.
