Good thing he got rid of tattoo guy in time because Molly Prescott just walked in. Allan: Uh, hi Molly. Molly: Hi, Mr. Wilson. Good to see you, please say hello to Lukas for me. Allan: Sure, thank you, Mol.

The one time Al decides to hit the gym, and suddenly all of Del Sol Valley is here.

The evening has finally fallen...

Allan didn’t do much exercise today, and yet he’s exhausted. Intense day no doubt, hopefully tomorrow will be calmer.

Dina is back, and now she’s flirting with Allan. He doesn’t know what to say; there are at least two paparazzi on site, it’s best to be careful. Too many adults around have made Orange nervous, so he takes refuge in his phone’s messages.

It seems that Dina’s interest has shifted to the tattoo guy. Allan wouldn’t recommend hanging with him, but she’s an adult anyway; Al is just there to make sure Orange doesn’t fall in with the wrong crowd; he owes it to Thorne and to his late friend Octavia.

Dina got distracted with something else, Orange sets to continue with his training; tattoo guy transfers his attention to Allan. Tattoo Guy: Hey Al, interested in buying something? I bring fresh merchandise. Allan: Thanks, but I’ll pass, buddy. Tattoo Guy: Cool, give me a call if you need anything. Allan: (To self) Man, since when did the gym turn into this?

[anamoon63]

Back at the exercise machine, he finds it taken by none other than Orange Bailey-Moon, who is listening to this guy's speech? Allan is sure he's seen him before, but where?

Allan: Hi, how are you Orange? How are your dad and siblings doing? Orange: Uh, we're all fine, thank you, Mr. Wilson.

Allan just remembered who this guy is, he's one of Don Lothario's dealers. Not someone he'd let near his own kids. Best to stay close to Orange, just in case.

[anamoon63]

Allan flat out skips the exercise and goes about attending to his fans. Allan: To Dina Caliente, or just Dina? Dina: Just Dina, please.

Allan: Here you go, hon. Dina: (Squeals) Oh my God, thank you, Al! Allan: You’re most welcome, Dina.

Now here comes Kayla Flemming... Kayla: Hi, Al, nice to see you. Allan: Hi, Kayla, nice to see you too, babe. Al knows Kayla and Dina from his old bar days. Good times.

And good memories too!

Now not only do all these people want an autograph, but yet another reporter has arrived. Reporter: Mr. Wilson, over here!

Allan: Okay… (Writes) “To Ethan with care. Allan Wilson.” Ethan: Jeez, I can’t believe it, thank you Mr. Wilson! Little girl: Will you hurry up? It’s my turn!

Allan: Here you go, Ethan. Say hello to Nina and Don for me. Ethan: I will. Thank you very much again, Mr. Wilson. Allan: No problem.

[anamoon63]

Szófia: Anything to tell your fans about the benefits of exercise and healthy living, Mr. Wilson? Allan: Yeah, well, don’t leave it too long or it will come back to bite your a**.

Luckily the reporter left as quickly as she arrived. Allan took the opportunity to do some cardio. He just wishes that guy wasn't staring at him. He's starting to make him nervous.

The guy kept watching him for a while and then finally… Beard guy: Hey, Mr. Wilson, can I have your autograph?

Ethan: Me too! Dina: Me too! Little girl: Me too!

[anamoon63]

Obviously after so long without training, it turned out more difficult than expected. Allan: Oof, I didn’t remember these things being so heavy…

Allan: What are those two looking at? Do I even know them? Well, maybe I met them at one of those Brytani's crazy parties. Wild, wild times!

And then out of nowhere… Allan: Aw, no, who let her in?

[anamoon63]

But first he had to say hello to a friend or two.

Allan: And there goes another one. Well, it seems that was all for the moment.

Allan: Okay, there's no escape now, this is the real thing.

[anamoon63]

Anyway, before he starts his exercise routine, Allan checks his messages in Social Bunny, there are a couple from Brytani, one from Vikram and even one from Fabian. “Hey, Allan, how have you been, buddy?” 

The joy of reading Fabian's messages makes him forget the bad time with the photographer.

Well, it’s time to get back to exercising and lose that little extra weight!

[anamoon63]

Szófia: Theeere you go, just one more and we're done. Allan: (Weary sigh) Yeah, just one more... until she catches me again.

He finally got rid of the reporter and was able to enter the gym. Allan: Phew, it’s always the same with that woman, I’m gonna have to start going undercover. I wonder what kind of disguise I should use.

Allan: Though even in disguise she would surely recognize me. That’s how obsessed she is.

[anamoon63]

Allan: (To self) Why does she want more pictures of me, she must have millions from all the times he has stalked me in broad daylight.

Szófia: Mr. Wilson? Would you mind looking at the camera?

Allan wouldn’t mind, if he were paying attention, but he’s too absorbed in his thoughts for that.

[anamoon63]

Allan: (Awkwardly) Hi, Szófia. Szófia: Hi, Mr. Wilson, working out outdoors, huh? Would you mind posing for a few shots?

Allan: (To himself) Yeah, who cares anyway…

Szófia: Come on, Mr. Wilson, give us a smile for your fans. Allan is so distracted he doesn’t even listen to her, all he wants is for it to end quickly, cause people are starting to gather around him.

Del Sol Valley, 5 pm

It’s late afternoon, Allan has decided to go for a jog and possibly hit the gym afterwards to get in shape for his next movie.

Allan: Well, this esplanade looks like a good place to jog, there are virtually no people at this hour.

He had to take it back, there are people at this hour, and not just regular people, but a paparazzi, ugh.

[anamoon63]

Anyway, Terry finished his morning rounds and is on his way home to eat lunch, spend time with Davy, and get some rest before heading back to the casino.

He can’t help but feel worried about Cynthia, his marriage, and the future of his bloodline if after a year she insists on having no more children. What is he going to do then? Will he have to leave her and marry someone else who does want a family, or just stick with Cynthia and have the children he wants outside the marriage?

Well, that might be fun, but totally unfair to the children born from those extra-marital relationships. No, he has to convince Cynthia that the best thing to do is to fix their problems, the sooner the better, and start expanding the family. Yep, that’s what he has to do, the other stuff would only generate unnecessary complications. Of course, if all else fails, he’ll have to revisit the idea.

[anamoon63]

Brandon: Um… Sorry for the question, but – is Cynthia okay? I sensed she was a little nervous last night. Terence: She’s fine, safe and sound at home, and in Davy’s care, as she should be. Now, can I take a look at your house? I want to make sure you’re all settled in. Brandon: Oh, of course. Please come in.

As Terry starts walking towards the entrance, Brandon keeps thinking about Cynthia. Is she really going to be all right? Terry is pretty rough, heavy-handed and he was very angry that night. Not to distrust him, but he’ll have to check on Cynthia later.

Meanwhile, Terence makes a quick inspection of his brother-in-law’s house to make sure everything is up and running.

Terence: Yeah, everything looks in order here. It does look like a real home. Brandon and Sandra are a good match, and Sandra takes very good care of her children. Cynthia could benefit from spending time with her. I’ll have to invite the Langeraks over more often.

[anamoon63]

Terence: Hey Brandon, how was your day? Brandon: All in order, boss. Terence: Come on, you don’t have to call me boss all the time, that’s only at the casino, you know, for appearances sake; but otherwise, I’m just Terry, your brother-in-law. Brandon: Thank you, boss, I mean, Terry.

Terence: Now, please tell me everything that happened at the police station last night. Did you make sure that Cynthia’s offense was not registered? Brandon: I made sure of it, don’t worry. Terence: Good. What about Mr. Claremont, did you offer him what I told you to drop the charges?

Brandon: Yes, he dropped them all as soon as he saw the amount on the paycheck. Terence: Ah, I knew that weasel would do anything for money. Brandon: Yep, everyone in Lucky Palms knows how greedy and self-serving he is. Terence: Well, I’m glad he got it right the easy way. Should he come back for more, we’ll have to make him understand the hard way, if you know what I mean. Brandon: Understood and noted, boss - sorry, Terry.

[anamoon63]

Along the way he keeps thinking about the possible consequences of that arrest. What was Cynthia thinking of really? How could she have been so careless?

What’s on her mind besides her motherhood issues and the eagerness to advance her career? It’s a fact there’s something she’s not telling him and he’s sure to find out sooner or later.

Arriving at Brandon’s home. It’s a nice house, much nicer than the one Jaycen got for Riley. Terence chose it himself, thinking of Brandon’s family. Family has always been important to Terry. Besides, he has taken a certain regard for Brandon, not only because he is Cynthia’s half-brother and his right-hand man, but because of his mother, Becky, the only one of the Vanderburgs Terence gets along well with.

Credit where credit is due: Brandon's new house is one of the GTA 5-Inspired Hillside Homes by Flora2 at MTS. Thank you very much to them! 🤗🩷
