A car rolled on up slowly into a residential area along the beach front area abit further inland while on Rhydin City's coastline as inside that car was the man in question of whom had been cast off for the moment from those that were once close to him.
After losing the woman that was close to him in Sasha and having been trying to reach at the BnB place, yet wasn't recieving any answer, he felt perhaps whenever Sasha was ready she would come see him again. Honestly, it did no good to rush things like that, especially when it came to family and all. Clearly, he was the one to know about family rules and all.
A sigh as Ryan pulled into the circle where it looked to be vacant for now, noone else around. So, he stopped the car just where he wanted to and got out. Honestly, this place looked like his old place back home in Chino a long time ago, riddled with gang griffitti and houses in poor condition but livable just the same. He wasn't one to complain, at least he could get away from the things awhile.
Quietly, he moved to use a left over paper clip he got from somewhere to pick the lock on the door, afew twists and turns and jimmied it just enough to where he could get in. Afterwards, he turned the door and slipped on inside for the moment. Carefully, he took out his 9mm inspecting the house thoroughly making sure noone was in here, didn't know whom a person might find in here.
Fortunately, around Rhydin City not many people were around here except for the vampire types. Of course, Ryan knew that cause he used to be close to one. Hopefully, not too much time would pass and him and Sasha could get back together again. For now, this would be his home until things could settle down, finding noone in the house, Ryan put his 9mm away and sighed abit dejectedly missing Sasha every night when he was without her.
Just he'd have to give the elders time, it wasn't like it was gonna be done overnight. For the time being, Ryan went to find a couch nearby and sit down after taking his coat off. Honestly, he needed to rest after everything that happened, not to mention accidentally ditching Jess at the bar even though he didn't intend on doing that. Everything just seemed like a mess for him at this point in time, just needed to wait and see how things progressed with each night going by. Quietly, he laid his head back on the couch deciding to get some rest, later he'd go around and get to work on things around Rhydin City.

After having slept alittle while, Ryan awoke from his nap and found it was still dark just as it had been before. Guess it was time to get to work and see what went on the streets working the night shift.
All one could really do in the midst of everything that happened, he went on outside, going towards his car, getting on into it, starting up the engine and rode on off down the road surveying things while he went along. Honestly, not really much to see around nightfall, yet worth a quiet drive probing the streets for anything that would or could be around.
So, onward Ryan drove just minding his business, maybe stop off at a nearby coffee place and have a coffee, always did like to have a cappachino around this time of night anyway. Besides, it made him think good things regarding Sasha and that.

And thus, he had a coffee and later drove down the road spying an arcade that seemed to have a car run through it or something, seemed as a heist was going down there. Chaos running rampant all over until he spied Jess showing up, never expected to see her, though greeted her just the same as she was almost shocked to find him there. Eventually, the chaos had stopped until at that point, just both himself and Jess were the only ones left amidst the carnage that was a theft having gone down.
Clearly, Ryan wasn't the cops nor was Jess, yet he knew at some point the RDPD wasn't around to help very much in the midst of nightfall always happening. Anyhow, the two of them talked for awhile about things and then he took Jess out for a bite to eat until apparently Jess had to leave abruptly saying it was an emergency. A soft sigh from him, this is why he was so introverted to a degree. Nothing seemed to last with him, though just the same he understood the urgency and perhaps he'd catch up with her later.
He hoped it wasn't anything serious as the look in her eyes was frantic. Nonetheless, he gave her his information of where he was staying at the street of Fairview Circle, along the coast of Rhydin City, then got back in his car starting her up, pulling out of the parking lot and slowly driving down the street towards his house again on Fairview Circle. All the while as he drove along would him and Sasha ever get back together?
He hoped she would be able to given the words from the elders of the family she belonged to, honestly he'd rather have more people trusting him than not at all. It was truly tiresome having to go around the dark of night with less friends than having more people you could trust.

Once he had a nap from having returned from an abrupt end to the outting with Jess, he then made his way back out into the world again. Ryan started out sitting out on the front lawn within the house he was living in Fairview Circle, at one point he heard a motorcycle ride up, turns out Aries had come to visit him. They talked for awhile about things, how he was coping after the breakup with Sasha and he mentioned something about Moira of which, she had tried to tell him that Moira was not whom she was considered to be.
Yet, underneath Ryan kept his opinion to himself of it not making a scene. Honestly, it wasn't worth making a scene over, just that later when Aries had fallen asleep on his front lawn he would figure she had disappeared from the lawn chair he put out there since she was a vampire and all, she usually found her way back to safer ground without needing his help. Anyway, he found out it to be Moira's birthday so he sent her a note and a rose, wishing her a happy birthday, not to mention placed a phone call to her phone wherever she might be.
Then after that he went down to the Grumpy Gator bar down at the main drag strip where he talked with the bartender Callie about the meeting there with Jess, clearly she had gotten upset there when he had taken off so abruptly at the time. Honestly, Ryan never meant for that to happen having felt bad about it. Really, it wasn't Jess's fault if he had a lot on his mind he was dealing with, just he didn't have the heart to speak on it at the time, nor even the words.
Nonetheless, maybe at some point they would get to see each other again. In the meantime, Ryan just was taking things slow waiting to hear anything from the elders of Sasha's family if they would allow her to see him or not, that didn't mean he was gonna mope about it. Just live life how you wanted to and let things be as they will, it did no good to worry about it. Afterwards, Ryan finished up at the bar and returned home to his house on Fairview Circle feeling tired again. Slowly, he pulled his car in the drive, getting out and heading for the door opening it up and entering inside.
Once there, he'd strip off and take a shower, in about fifteen minutes or so, he'd finish getting out, drying off and get into something more comfortable and sit down on the couch again watching the twenty four hour news reel. Damn, so much going on with the world today and the chaos going on. He was silent throughout the news report before turning off the tv leaning back on the couch a moment, honestly he wondered if he might catch up with Moira sometime.
You never know, anything could happen around here. Slowly, once again he drifted off to sleep for another nap, of course he made sure to cover up with the blanket before he did, naturally.

After his nap he awoke and started another night of work, it wasn't much as he got up to have himself a cup of tea when he had heard someone wonder if they were stupid for coming there. As it turns out, it was a woman named Shell, she had wandered all the way from the Asylum to his place over in Fairview Circle. Honestly, it was quite a pleasant suprise just the same, he invited her in for a pepsi while they talked about stuff, experiences they had and how their lives were doing so far.
In between times, he admitted to Shell he still was missing Sasha a great deal despite everything that happened. Didn't really expect to keep on as he knew Sasha wasn't gonna come back to him with him moping this way. Yet, outside he caught sight of a strange figure or thought he had seen something. Just be sure he dead-bolted the door keeping out of sight of whatever was out there at the time.
Afterwards, things seemed okay for the most part while he got back together with talking to Shell, honestly with having friends it was helping him cope with things. At one point, a woman named Saphyra had come by working for a cookie company selling cookies or something, she gave him a list of all kinds of flavors there. Though, before he could talk to her again, she disappeared only catching that she told her driver Leroy to come around back to get an order through to Fairview Circle. Well, later after Shell probably had to head home for awhile, so she did however she chose to.
For the time being Ryan a mess underneath decided to go out to the gym out in town to release some pent up frustration, not planning on using that frustration on anybody, considering he had done enough damage with having lost Sasha to begin with. Thus, undid the dead-bolt and door lock and headed on out to his Dodge Challenger, when he got in he slowly backed on out and drove off towards town where he knew the gym might be.

And he drove from his house into town, it was a good while as from the looks of things, a million things racing through his head of fear, uncertainty, pain, and loss all fueling frustration within him as he drove to the gym pulling into the parking lot, finding a space and going in. Shutting off the engine, getting out making sure it was locked, then walked inside the gym having arrived there.
Afew moments or so went by as he changed his clothes in the locker room that was there, he was shirtless now as he had his hands wrapped in white tape, shorts, and barefoot as he would walk towards the punching bag nearby and start throwing jabs at it. Each jab started to get harder with each motion, then a right fisted hand as he kept it up.
In a way, it was therapy helping him release anger, frustration, anxiety, and loss of Sasha out as he would unleash his rage out on the punching bag flailing away at it. Pain and hurt etched on his face with each shot he delivered, he didn't care his knuckles bled or bruised up as he kept hitting the punching bag violently.
He wanted Sasha back, it was too long being without her like this, he swore he could sense that feeling when she had kissed his cheek back at that trailer home, she had come to see him that time missing him. Honestly, he was missing her too on top of the fact he wanted to be around Emerald and Noah too, but he couldn't without the elders blessing saying if he could or not.
Punching the punching bag fiercely and violently to the point where he couldn't take no more and just stopped a moment to try to breathe. All he could think about was what Sasha telling him that she thought that what they had was important to him, to throw that all away for mere words, she didn't get it. At hearing that made him even more angrier as he would punch at the bag again right and left fists, not screaming just grunts in between, his muscles bulging abit and sweat dripping down from his face letting off steam as he did. Honestly, this was a lot better to let frustration out instead of doing it to someone physically that would get him in trouble. ~ Ryan inside the gym taking his frustrations out on the punching bag rather than on people at everything that's happened to him. ~

After his time at the gym, Ryan would come back out to his car that was sitting there waiting for him. Quietly, he sat on the hood a moment thinking a long moment, a heavy burden he silently carried on his shoulders. The frustrations he released had been quite necessary, taking it out on the punching bag was very much a theraputic way of dealing with things.
However, underneath it all he felt like a broken man, a man with no purpose in life other than just surviving night after night amidst the dark ugliness of the underworld of Rhydin City that was. A place full of chaos, corruption, and endless sort of people left and right that came and gone from wherever. Slowly, he looked up to see this sight in front of him, the people going by and the chaos all around him.
The train frequently going by all hours of the night carrying people from wherever they went through the different districts in Rhydin City. Honestly, he felt like he was living in Chino all over again. Afterwards, he went back to his car getting in the drivers' side door and went to quietly drive around in his own thoughts kinda just seeing what jobs he could find to do, just anything that might be something to do for little measely pay it didn't matter. So long as he didn't feel completely bored.

In the days that followed, Ryan one night found a woman whom had come a long way from the east coast, apparently she was a wife seeking refuge from her drug dealing ex-husband that was out to hurt her if she knew where she might've been. So, she herself got tied in with it and was supposedly seeking rehab while being here. Little did Ryan really know as she was on assignment for the NYPD to bring down a drug dealer in this vicinity or so they may've assumed it was, since around San Andreas area there was dope fiends and drug addicts everywhere in the city of Los Santos, plus gangbangers from all over.
A rough neck place much the same as Chino might've been, nonetheless, it was good to find a woman coming from the east coast, it was rather different and relaxing. Ryan would come to find her name was Olivia Benwell, the two talked, shared a glass of wine, even a kiss on top of that. At first, it seemed strange to Ryan this woman was coming onto him so fast, yet in one way it felt good to perhaps have an older woman to cling to. Especially, on account of the fact she was so much a mature woman that made her so damn attractive.
Later on, he'd invite her to his work at the warehouse perhaps getting her to apply for a job at his business as she did talk about wanting fresh starts. He figured that was a good place to begin something. So, he set the appointment and worked all the way until 3pm whenever he would wait for her to show up.

The First Date: At the Green Bottle Bar Ryan would go out on a first day with Olivia at the Green Bottle Bar after setting up a date with her at the office. Honestly, she couldn't wait to take the job for him there, he was pleased by this. So, on their way they went as they arrived there as the pair shared afew drinks in celebrating of what to look forward to in the coming days ahead. A smile on Ryan's face had proven that as he talked with her extensively.
Then after the drinks they went out to East Beach where they talked on the pier awhile as she would admire the sea and the beautiful night it was while being out on the West coast. To her, it was the most beautiful thing she ever saw in her life since being from New York and it being a lot more rougher than it was over here. Clearly, within Ryan's mind she had no idea what sort of dark side this place had that was much different from the East coast in New York.
Nonetheless, he wouldn't let that ruin the evening as the pair hugged speaking their feelings to each other, then they both would soon head back. It was a Friday night, so they had one more day in which to spend together before the work would start. On his way back, Ryan would then drop off Olivia to her house where she lived on Fairview Circle on Grove Street. Than drive back off to his house where he lived.
Honestly, he felt good about this relationship between himself and Olivia. Every moment was like nothing he ever imagined before, hopefully it wasn't a lie as he had practically been truthful to her about himself. Yet, deep down since he had that police report from Det. Hensen, he knew a lot about her that he didn't let on to Olivia. He knew she was a cop underneath and infiltrating his business.
He could only hope that it didn't cause undo harm to either of them. Just as he pulled his car into the garage he met up with Ryder who was leaning against the lamp post.Ryder- "Fool, are you that much of a busta?"Ryan looked over at Ryder and answered."I don't know what you mean, Ryder."Ryder replied in saying when he went to take a hit from his cigar blowing out smoke.Ryder- "Ahh, bitch don't pull the fucking wool of my eyes. I see what you doin. You know whom that fucking bitch is? Huh?? You putting a fucking cop in this hood is gonna get us all capped."Ryder wasn't pleased by any of this, in fact, he didn't want nothing to do with it as he would look to Ryan with abit of distain and digust. Nonetheless, Ryan cleared his throat and said to him."Come take a walk with me, Ryder. Listen, let me explain something to you okay? See, I already got word on the street about whom she is. You think I'm that stupid to let some cop from the east coast ruin our business? I did a check on her the day she was moving in. The detective at the police department here in Los Santos, knows about it, I was the one that called in for it!"A stern look on the face of Ryan when he walked along with Ryder as the pair of them talked about stuff as Ryder didn't say anything except this as he took another hit from his cigar.Ryder- "Coulda fucking told me fool, shit. I ain't goin to no fucking jailhouse for some white boy that can't keep his thang in his pants, know what I'm sayin? Specially to some old bitch twice his age, no less.."And for the moment Ryan would listne just the same as he would reply his words firm but polite all the more as he would suddenly grasp Ryder by his shirt and put him up into the wall of the alleyway by his house and said."Listen, you work as a spotter, runner, and dealer! How would like to go afew days off without pay?! I can always replace you with someone else."Ryder jumped suddenly as he was felt slammed up against the wall and said.Ryder- "Fucking shit fool, da fuck you doin!-"And propped up against the wall as he would listen to him and reply.Ryder- 'Aight, aight, chill fool, just chill. I gotcha, sorry. Just makes me uncomfortable the cops dude."His hands came up abit, as Ryan set him back down satisfied as he brushed Ryder off abit so he looked better than he was and said."We got the cops on our side for now, if they're on our payroll, they'll leave us alone. Ya feelin me? They won't say shit cause I'm payin up double what they get in their salary, so it's an offer they can't refuse."Ryder paused a moment giving a nod thinking abit realizing his point as he would say to him.Ryder- "Gotta good thing goin there, hope ya got it right fool. Just make sure not to fuck it up, huh. I'll check ya later homie."And thus, he walked away from Ryan at that point headed somewhere, probably home or otherwise. In the meantime, Ryan watched him until he was gone. Clearly, he needed to be careful of anyone of his employees knowing Olivia's real identity or it could all be over before he knew it. A sigh as he would later go back into his house and get ready for his second date he'd have with Olivia at the dance club.

Second date: Goin Clubbin Around the time of 8pm or so, Ryan would arrive at Olivia's house there on the same street as he was. Still he couldn't get over the fact about what Ryder had done saying things about Olivia the way he had, that pissed him off. Nonetheless, he really needed to be extremely careful that the other employees didn't get wind of her identity. If they did, Ryan surely then would be in a world of hurt. Honestly, the dope fiends and drug addicts knew he was hanging around with a cop on their turf, it'd all be over.
He could say he was playing with fire here, let alone, pouring gasoline on top of it to cause an raging inferno. Hopefully, it wouldn't consume both him and Olivia. There was too much riding on both their jobs. Anyway, he went to knock on her door waiting for her to come out all sharply dressed and ready for her to arrive. The one thing that puzzled him was, would the gangbangers find out? It was a possibility, though clearly on the other hand he did have the cops on his side, so if anything, if they wanted pay. They'd leave him be and let him do the job so noone would find out.
However, it only took one canery to sing and bang, he'd get capped as Ryder put it. The caper job had not been easy either, it had been a long time since he went on a caper job to earn afew extra bucks. Maybe he'd do that sometime, for now, he would concentrate on his second date with Olivia and not think about the freelancing business. On monday, surely there would be time for that. So, he'd wait for her to come out keep an eye out for anyone suspicious that was watching him. |

At the dance club, both him and Olivia would dance the night away at the Alhumbra dance hall. Everything was as it should be until that is, a pair of Ballas gang members showed up at the exit while Ryan and Olivia were dancing at. To keep a low profile Ryan moved over to one side being careful of being seen, keeping Olivia safe too near the bar. From here both of them shared a drink together, whereupon in the middle of things Ryan told Olivia he had to go check something out, that he'd be back in no time.
Thus, she agreed letting him do what he had to do. Meanwhile, outback he ran into Ryder asking him why were Ballas gang members out front, Ryder said he hadn't the faintest idea. However, at some point Ryan knew he was lying, the truth came out that Ryder didn't think much of Olivia being the new accountant at the company. It sounded fishy to him, Ryan tried to reason with him abit there, yet it wasn't until Sweet and Smoke joined in the conversation out back of the club.
Honestly, Ryan tried to get them to understand this was neither the time nor the place for such a convesation to happen, afew minutes went by and getting things worked out, Smoke and Ryder left with having their opinions, though Sweet did advise Ryan to be careful of trusting the two of them there. Ryder might've been cool but could turn on someone at a dime given his temperment. Smoke not so much, yet he was in one way devious just the same.
Afterwards, Sweet left and Ryan went back inside to meet back up with Olivia again. He apologized for being gone so long, that he didn't wish to drop her here alone by herself, he wouldn't ever do that. Thus, they finished their drinks and Ryan decided to go out the back way in case the Ballas gang was still there at the exit.
Creeping along, Ryan went around the other side with Olivia along the bushes being careful, when at last he found his car nearby. At that, Ryan got to his car when two Ballas at the last moment came out and attempted to chase Ryan down pulling out their 9mms and firing. In a frenzy, Ryan backed the car up whipping it around and pulled it forward again, then grabbed Olivia from where she was and sped off down the road.
All the while, his heart racing even if he was still numb from the alcohol intake, they would later come to a stop at a marina, since Ryan suggested on taking her some place else for the night so they could be alone. When Ryan got out he started to beat himself up, upset at having almost gotten Olivia killed or him killed at that. Yet, she reassured him that it wasn't his fault that happened, things like that occured from time to time. A look to her eyes as he appreciated her reassurance.
For it been a long night and they needed to get home for work on Monday, which they would do just that. He patted her hand standing up and walking back to the car with her after their talk, getting in and driving back to Fairview Cr just off of Ganton St. When they got there, he stopped the car getting out with her walking up to the door, bidding her a goodnight telling her he enjoyed the dance and hoped they do something like that again sometime. A glance to her once more giving her a kiss on the cheek and a smile, though the next moment he looked at her he felt compelled to do more than that.> cont.
