16th January 2022:
Raymond had been having a pretty eventful day up to the incident. Plenty of heists, races, and interactions with some interesting characters. Everything began to go south, however, as Ray and Mickey S, Harry Brown, Ai Musori (aka Egg), Keith Wanderlust (aka Lando), and Barry Svensson were setting up for a Paleto job. The plan was being made for Egg since she didn't get to go on jobs with them often, "The Egg Drop" Mickey called it. Everything started because Ray was on the phone with Kitty Dream about an A boost he was looking to give away. Mickey had been going over the plan and found it annoying that Ray was talking to someone else while on the phone. In response, he drove directly over a fire hydrant to eject Ray from the trunk and kick him off the phone. Ray quickly pulled a pistol and began shooting for the tires of the car, but instead he accidentally hit some of the members in the car. Mickey never turned back to pick up Raymond, so Ray called Mickey speaking only "If I see you next time I am putting a bullet in your brain." and hung up. And Raymond definitely kept true to his word.
After this call he went on a stake out for Mickey, going to the place he knew they'd be going. At the laptop spot Ray positioned himself behind the van, waiting for Mickey to show up. And like he thought, he did. He held up Mickey and told him to get in the car. Ray brought him to the ocean and tried to force him to apologize. Mickey refused. Ray shot him in the foot, as a warning that he wasn't messing around. Mickey still refused. Ray shot him in the shoulder and told him to turn around. Mickey still refused and began singing Total Eclipse of the Heart to which Ray finally shot him down, dragging his body into the ocean. (clip)
Later, after Ray had went back to the Manor and switched cars, to which Ray gave a call to a furious Harry, who was quick to berate Ray for his actions. Harry made it very clear that Ray had lost all of his respect, and that he would be taking action against him soon. He also learned that Mickey was in ICU, and not in fact dead yet. When asked about how he felt about the situation, Ray sated he felt "in the middle", only worsening the situation. After hanging up with Harry, Ray received a call from a just as angry Bjorn. Bjorn was much less patient with Ray's opinion on the situation, and after telliing him The Guild would never trust him again, hung up without another word. (clip) This was where Ray decided to cut his loses and go to sleep, unsure of what the day ahead would bring.
17th January 2022:
Ray woke up the next morning, knowing what was to happen that day. He very quickly called Lang Buddha, who answered in a forceful tone meaning he already knew what Ray had done. He was requested to meet with Buddha unarmed, no guns, knives, anything. On his way over to Cerberus Business Center, he remained hopeful that Buddha would understand his side a little, maybe be sympathetic in a way. But the tone in which he was greeted as he walked in diminished that hope quickly. He was patted down very aggressively for guns then asked to tell what the hell had happened. Raymond gladly told his side, stating every detail and admitting to the whole thing. Tony Corleone, who was also attending the meeting, and Buddha were in complete shock that Ray had not only admitted to doing such a vile act, but doing so in general. They knew that Ray and Mickey had their clashes but were unaware it had gotten to this level. But what they both agreed on was that Raymond had overstepped, and something had to be done. They tried to reason with Raymond, but he held his position that he was justified in his action. After talking to Raymond, Tony and Lang decided that they should talk to Mickey again, so they went to Raymond and told him to go cool off for a bit while they decided what to do.
Ray left the meeting unsure of what to think of the situation. He was worried now by the hostile way he was treated during the meeting. After some driving around and almost entering a race, he was called back to the tower. This time when Ray entered, Tony and Lang were accompanied by Harry and Leslie Lingberg, who had listened into the initial conversation. Lang broke the news to Raymond that he thought Ray was not acting like himself, giving him an ultimatum that he would either admit himself into Parsons Rehabilitation Center or be kicked to the curb. Coming to Ray with this info, he was surprisingly accepting of the idea, saying he'd do anything if it was for the good of the family.
Leaving the meeting, Ray contacted a few people and told them he might not be around for a while. After this, he went to Pillbox Medical Center to seek a therapist who was able to help him get to Parsons. His first recommended therapist, Pixie Plum, had recently been stabbed and had to be put in ICU. So Ray's next option was Rexford Yeung, who coincidentally had also been shot in the back. Great start to the therapy arc if you ask me. Meeting up with Rex, Ray was given a therapy session while things were being set up for him at Parsons. The session was really good for Ray, Rex helped him realize things about himself and see problems he hadn't considered before. Buddha still insisted he talk with Pixie, so he wrapped up the meeting with Rex and went directly to another session with Pixie. Both sessions went well, and Ray was ready to be admitted to Parsons.
After Ray had dropped his things off in his warehouse, he was escorted to Parsons by Pixie and Rex. He was introduced to the compound and was surprised at how cozy it looked. It seemed to be a resort with stricter access. A couple others roamed around as Ray adjusted himself to his surroundings. By this time, Yuno Sykk had woken up and was filled in on the situation. He seemed to be in favor of Ray and went with Buddha to visit him in Parsons. Yuno attempted to give Ray some firearms and armor incase he wanted to escape, but Ray declined, he wanted to do this the honest way. Saying goodbye to Yuno and Buddha, he wondered when he would be able to see the two next. And it wouldn't be for a very... very long time.
19th January 2022:
It had been two years since Raymond had been admitted into Parsons, and he felt he was ready to be released back into the world. During his time he had undergone some changes as well, both physical and mental. He was a more patient man, and fully understood the gravity of the anger he felt. The first person he contacted once he had a phone was his son, La Flare Davis, who had been texting Ray over the course of his visit. Ray was excited to find that his R.U.S.T boys had finally completed the VAR and now had a huge amount of guns in their warehouse. After some casual father son talk, they wished each other good bye and that they'd see each other soon. 
Ray then called Rex, who would be the one to let him out and set him free from Parsons. After being officially released, Raymond stayed with Rex for a little longer as a last therapy session before his departure. They discussed his growth and how he would treat situations going forward. Ray wanted Rex to be there when he met up with the boys so he gave them a call. To which they didn't answer. Ray assumed they were busy and stayed in Parsons a bit longer with Rex. Texting Buddha a while later, he got a response that he would call him soon. Tired of waiting himself, Ray decided that it was time to pack up his things and leave Parsons for good.
Giving one last goodbye pet to Rex's dog, and a sincere thank you to Rex himself, Ray made his way out of Parsons to find his way again in the world.
Once out, Raymond went to grab his Lambo, which was suspiciously well kept for not being used for two years, and drove around looking for something to busy himself with while the boys were busy. Eventually He called up Tony to tell him that he wouldn't be able to represent Redline alongside him in a tournament he had entered prior. Tony said it was all good and asked about his time in Parsons and expressed that he was happy Ray was feeling better. Ray told him a bit about the therapy and changes he'd gone through before telling him to continue with the race. Tony said he would and told him again he was glad he was better before hanging up.
Ray then went to the R.U.S.T warehouse to see what he could pick up from the haul the boys had gotten from VAR. Flare just so happened to be there and didn't recognize Ray at first until he spoke. The young hacker gasped and questioned if it was really him, to which Ray confirmed it was. Lending him some guns, Flare questioned about how much things really had changed. Thankfully, Flare and Ray can still collect wives together. Ray still wanted to keep the situation itself unknown so he told Flare not to tell anyone else, and only to explain that he'd been gone for a while but he was back. Flare and Ray then parted ways, the rain now pouring outside set the mood for Raymond. Both as sign of the hard times but also as a cleanse and new beginning for Ray.
Leaving the warehouse, Ray found himself at Maldini's Pizzeria where he just to happened to catch Ramee El-Rahman and Vinny Pistone. Sitting down for a complementary bite to eat, Ray mentioned that he had just gotten therapy. The two were rather curious about the situation but all Ray disclosed was he had a dispute with family. Of course without the proper context, they thought he was crazy for needing therapy just for an argument. They continued to poke and prod for info but Ray refused to give it. Hearing all this info though, on the way out Ramee pulled Ray to the side saying "If you ever want to join the good side we have a cargo bob waiting for you" before leaving with his boys in an actual cargo bob. He followed up with a call reinforcing the statement and even offering him a CG chain. Raymond laughed at the proposal, knowing that Ramee was more than likely trolling.
Prior to that encounter, Ray had called Shelly Smith since she had also been messaging Raymond for the duration of his stay at Parsons. Sharing an umbrella, Ray told Shelly about the situation, saying that he had hurt someone in the family after an argument. Shelly was supportive of him, telling him that she'd be there if he needed to talk. Not wanting to completely talk about himself their meeting, Ray asked about the situation with Jeffrey Price, Shelly's ex-husband who had been threatening Shelly about her relationship with Raymond. Ray expressed the same feelings Shelly had for his situation, and they continued talking until the rain eventually stoped.
After leaving the meeting Ray decided to stop by the race and cheer on Tony. He brought Tony a milkshake and wished him good luck before hanging out with the others spectating the race. There he talked to Kitty Dream for the first time since the incident, her and some of the other racers were greatly surprised by his new appearance, to which Ray gave a vague explanation to mask the situation.
Later that day, Ray had been waiting a while for the boys to be free and he had gotten tired of it. He finally gave Buddha a call and organized a meeting at the Betta Life building. Arriving at the building, Buddha had also brought Harry and Leslie along with him to the meeting. Before Ray could fully start, Buddha said he had to take an important phone call and had to step out for a moment. Catching up with the two, it didn't seem like they held as much ill will towards him since that day. They asked him how Parsons was and had a more than expected reaction to his new appearance. Once Buddha had returned Ray explained his transformation over the past two years, and realized what he had done. Buddha told him that he was proud of Ray for the change, but this conversation really needed to be brought up with Mickey who at the moment wasn't ready to talk to Ray.
Ray felt better after finally being able to talk to Buddha, he knew that this situation was far from over, and that it'd take a long time to regain the same trust that he once had with the family. But progress had been made, and Ray went about the rest of his day with that in mind.
20th January 2022:
The day after, Ray had made it his goal for today to talk to as many people as possible about the situation and hopefully clear things up to the best of his ability. The first person he ran into from the incident was Barry who seemed rather indifferent about Ray's presence and they quickly began talking about the mysterious riddle that had been Tweeted out the day prior. Very soon after, though, Ray was called to the Manor by Mickey himself.
Arriving at the Manor, Raymond could already feel the tense air about the place. The anticipation of the meeting with the one he had wronged was right in front of him. He hesitated before entering the Manor, taking mental notes on what he might say to his once brother. He made his way to the office through the eerily quiet halls that were usually bustling with activity. Opening the creaking doors to the office, he stopped, as he came face to face with Mickey, who was standing behind the desk, a dark shadow cast upon him. Before the meeting could begin, they had to wait on Buddha and Tony so the two waited in an awkward, tense silence for what felt like years.
Finally the two men entered, and the meeting began. Ray began by apologizing to Mickey, however little it may do now he still wanted to make it clear he was sorry for what he'd done. He admitted to Mickey that what he had done was out of line and that he realized how much regret he held while in Parsons. He explained his feelings and described his side of things but from a reformed perspective. 
Mickey took a second for it all to sink in, but replied that he had also realized he might have fucked with Ray a bit too much, but that was because he was family to him. He made it clear that Ray was not family to him anymore. He would only tolerate him and work with him on jobs as a co-worker because of his connections to the rest of the boys. 
Ray then expressed that he was thankful that Mickey even gave him that much, it seemed he was fully prepared for Mickey disregard him completely for what he had done to him. Mickey then made a point that Ray should realize that the family expanded beyond who was in the room, which somehow now included both Dean Watson and Speedy, to which Ray said that he understood.
After giving their final pieces, Buddha making it very clear that if this situation were to ever happen again there would be more serious punishment, and Ray promised that he would be a better person and keep himself under control. After that the meeting was swiftly adjourned although Ray stayed at the Manor to discuss with Tony and Buddha a bit more. And was pulled over to the side with Yeagar who had a perspective on the The Guild's side of things. Ray apologized to him but Yeagar made it clear that his apology should be meant for Egg and Barry, not him. He also stated that he didn't hate Ray for what happened, that he couldn't, but he's very lucky that there are people who care about him here or else he'd be at the bottom of the ocean. After that, Ray left the Manor along with the boys to search for clues about the very waiting casino.
A few hours later, Ray also came into contact with Denzel Williams at Chumash pier. He recounted his side of the events to Denzel, then explained the meetings of earlier that day, as well as his changes as a man during his time at Parsons.
Harvest Festival (5th to 8th November 2021)
5th November 2021:
The first day of the ever waited Harvest Festival had begun and Raymond was excited to get into the hunt for weed. Ray met up with Dean Watson to do some errands before going back to the Clean Manor where the squad grouped up to plan. Dean had recently been appointed Vice el Jeffe of the Vagos so their group consisted of Vagos members JJ, Chino Gonzalez, and Frank Junior Smith|Frank Junior Smith, aka Franky along with Leslie Lingberg who was disguised as "Tik Tak" to protect his identity. After some preperation the boys headed out for their first raid on a farm near Zancuto Air Field. The first attempt was iterrupted when police spotted the group pointing guns and began to shoot at them, meaning they were forced to retreat. On the second attempt they were able to get to the plants with little to not trouble and were able to harvest two groups of plants that were found. Ray returned to the Manor from the successful heist where he kept 4 weed plants. Later they grouped up again to raid the same farm, this time with a group of 4, since "Tik Tak" went to sleep. The second raid went without a hitch as well, only rolling down the hill a couple times before successfully finding the plants again. Ray completed the raid with 7 more plants in his possession for a total of 11 so far. The group went out for one last raid for a farm in Sandy Shores where they encountered their first real problem of the day. Two workers of the farm were currently at the farm guarding it. After some scouting the group began to shoot from their vantage points on the mountain, they quickly took down the two and made a move for their bodies, but cops showed up while they were picking everyone up. A single unit went after Ray and the boys in his car, but they quickly gunner her down once they were far enough away. Once they were out they picked up their boys and Grandpas and Ray went to sleep that day with an over all success. 
6th November 2021:
After an eventful day of the Lower Vault with the boys, Ray met up with the Vagos Squad expecting to have an eventful day of hunting weed. But instead the squad decided to do some smaller jobs such as some 24/7s and Boosting. No hunting was done the second day.
8th November 2021:
Waking up in his apartment, Ray called up Mickey who informed him that the boys were participating in the final day of the Festival. Making his way over to the Manor, he met up with Mickey who then swiftly left to drop into the "combat zone" from a plane. He then headed to Sandy where Tony, Lang, Harry, and eventually Mickey, Dean, and Bjorn were planting some weed on a farm they had chosen to claim. Ray acted as a scout for the operation. There were a couple close calls with other groups scouting out their farm, but overall the first operation went smoothly.
After the planting, the squad met back up at the Manor to discuss what to hit next. The Chang Gang farm was quickly suggested, and with nothing to lose and no objections the four that were left, Lang, Mickey, and Bjorn, hunted for two more to join the squad. Ray called some of the Vagos he thought he would be down to raid with them. In the process he made the mistake of calling Mike Smoore, Speedy's son, who was just removed from the Vagos earlier that day. Having no knowledge of this he called others from the gang who rejected his request upon hearing the name. Soon enough, though, Buddha filled him in on the situation and told him to call off meeting with Mike because he didn't want to get involved in Vagos drama. 
Unable to find anyone to join them for the time being, the squad made their way back to check on the plants. Everything was thankfully in tact, and with some extra scouting the boys headed back to the Manor. After some classing CB shenanigans, the boys went to the CG farm to raid. They knew this time that they were going to have to put up a fight. There were already cops in the area which made things even harder for the crew. The first phases of the raid were scouting from all sides, looking for anyone who might be lurking around the compound. As the first shots were fired by the opponents, the squad quickly scrambled to find vantage points. The battle had begun. The first one downed being Ramee El-Rahman (clip) by Ray on top of a building. Unfortunately this lead to alerting the cops near by so they came to investigate very close to Ray's hiding place. He was able to successfully hide from the danger and continue the fight, staying in his vantage point near the red container. Very soon after, however, Ray was pushed by two of the opposing squad. He was able to down Wayne Biggz, but was forced to take cover as he was being pushed by the others. After an intesne gun fight he was eventually downed, caught in a corner, by Curtis Swoleroid (clip). Unfortunately the rest of the boys were also downed in the fight, the odds stacked against them from the beginning with one less person in the group than CG. 
After the fight was over, CG went around to all the boys and helped put them in bushes so they wouldn't be caught by the police when they eventually showed up. This was a helpful effort because seconds later cops rolled up. Ray was picked up by Ramee and put into a car that lead to an lengthy and intense car chase where they eventually escaped and left Ray in a bush so he wouldn't be found by the police. They of course pinged Buddha to Ray's whereabouts, he was eventually picked up by Buddha and taken to the hospital. After that, the boys decied to call it for the day, and the Festival. Despite the unfortunate ending to the event, everyone was still in good spirits. Ray expressed that he enjoyed the "camaraderie" it brought between crims, despite fighting against each other, in a way they were all working together. And the aftermath of the shoot out proved that.
Basem Shahin's Death and War Against Natural Born Crackheads (NBC) (1st to 9th August 2021)
1st August 2021:
Raymond first learned about Basem Shahin's assassination and the investigation that followed through Kitty Dream and Hunter Skye, aka Wingman. More information about the event is learned through Nino Chavez, who told him that a series of events had lead to Denzel Williams killing Basem at the pier, including Andi Jones and Lars Haverford, aka Bjorn, tortured Basem. Raymond also learned that Basem is the nephew of Salem Barghouthi, a member of Natural Born Crackheads (NBC), a gang that he and the Cleanbois are very close with. Although Raymond did not have the best opinion on Basem and that he wanted Basem dead in the first place, it's without a doubt that Basem's death have put his family in an uncomfortable position. After the meeting with Nino, Nino informed Raymond about his meeting with Kyle Pred to discuss details about the investigation. He also warned Raymond about a potential arrest and gave him the choice to pull off a rescue mission if things did not go as planned. Unfortunately, Raymond misread the situation and downed Pred in the middle of their meeting. No one was not caught or arrested but Nino had to lay low until they figure out their next move.
2nd August 2021:
Lang Buddha, Dean Watson Harry Brown and Raymond met with Peanut and Salem Barghouthi, members of NBC, in an attempt to resolve conflicts between them. The meeting got heated and NBC began attacking members of the Cleanbois and the Rooster's Rest and people who they associate with. Lang eventually gave Andi up to them to buy themselves time to figure out their next move.
9th August 2021:
A week went by and NBC has not made a move since. Lang Buddha, Harry Brown and Raymond arranged two more meetings with the NBC at the Clean Manor to end their dispute. They claimed that they knew that Denzel killed Basem and demanded some compensations. At the end of the meetings, they agrred to end the war with Denzel agreeing to give them the building for their hookah lounge free of charge and the weekly asset fee that comes along with it will be taken care of.
Shootout with the Blocks (14th July 2021)
Mike Block, Four Tee and a few members of the Alta Street Ruff Rydaz, aka Block Gang, including David Wonders, aka Mime Block, held Kitty Dream at gun point and stole her car. After learning that Kitty reported the incident to the cops, the Blocks kidnapped Mickey S, while trying to retrieve her car. Kitty then told Raymond about the situation. Unfortunately, Kitty was found and kidnapped by the Blocks while Raymond was calling Irwin Dundee and Barry Benson for help. This lead to a shootout just outside the Benny's Original Motor Works, where most of the Blocks and Four Tee was downed. Mickey was downed too but he was rescued by Kitty and James Barnes, aka Bucky, and managed to escape, while Raymond was saved by fellow racer, Adam Peterson, aka AP. Dundee and Barry did not manage to escape before the police arrived and they went down after exchanging gunfire. Barry was processed and jailed but Dundee managed to escape with a warrant for his arrest. In the middle of the shootout after Raymond gunned down Mike, he spared Four Tee's life after finding her hiding behind a dumpster, due to their friendship. Unexpectedly, Four Tee then held up Raymond almost immediately and told him that Mike is her Number 1. She let him go right before the police arrived at the crime scene.

Burger Shot family drama (22nd to 26th April 2021)
22nd April 2021:
Robert Spowylamywanowski demanded to Raymond to take Kitty Dream on an official date at the Burger Shot while Robert, Emma Natt and many of Kitty's friends (Pilbis Shonley, Fingle Dan, Jimmy Umami ["Bike Guy"], Four Tee, Sherry Paie, etc.) tagged along and interrogated Raymond. Then, Raymond took Kitty, Robert and Emma to a concert and then to a helicopter ride as a change of scenery. At the end of their date, Raymond seemed to have gained some approval from Robert but Robert and some of Kitty's friends still have doubts about Raymond.
23rd April 2021:
In an attempt to break up Raymond and Kitty, Robert and Shelly set up a meeting with him at the Burger Shot to try to persuade him into believing Kitty is cheating on him with Karl Johnny Black (KJ). They staged and photographed scenes of Kitty and KJ hugging and drinking together, but he refused to believe their narratives. Raymond emphasised that he will only hear the story from Kitty herself before leaving with disbelief and anger of their behaviour towards both himself and Kitty. He felt that his personal space was constantly violated by Robert and Sherry ever since he started dating Kitty but he is still willing to look pass all of it because of his love for her.
Later that day and towards the end of their date, Raymond told her about the meeting with Robert and Sherry and she told him what had really happened and reassured him that she is committed to their relationship. The reason behind Robert's behaviours towards Raymond, as Kitty described, is that Raymond is the first person to ever challenge him the way he did.
24th April 2021:
KJ went to Rooster's Rest while Raymond and Kitty were on their shift to come clean and admitted that the scenes involving himself and Kitty was a set-up orchestrated by Robert and Sherry. He expressed that he meant no disrespect to the both of them and said that he has no feelings for Kitty. KJ also told them that he felt betrayed because Robert had not rewarded him for being part of the set-up. Raymond was unpleased with Robert and Sherry and is planning his revenge, potentially, with KJ's help.
26th April 2021:
After Kitty's shift at Rooster's Rest, Raymond and Kitty met up with Robert and Sherry again. After some verbal back and forth and Robert and Sherry injured "Bucky", they decided to give Raymond a chance with Kitty.

The Dispute (3rd April 2021)
Raymond received a text from Riley asking him to meet her at the dam while in the car with Harry Brown. He quickly learned that the dam is a prime location for executions. When he arrived, he found himself pointing his gun at a man, which happens to be a friend of his, Malakai Anderson.
Raymond later learned that Malakai used Gillea Taylor to make Riley jealous but that had angered her too in the process. Riley then became obsessed to get her revenge against Malakai and Gillia. Her mission brought up mix feelings and clashes between principles, which led to Raymond feeling as if he had lost a friend in both Riley and Harry. In one of Riley's text messages to Raymond later, she said to him: "I care about you and will always be there for you ".
Raymond and Riley met up later and he learned that Riley had put herself in a lot of trouble. She told him that she stabbed Malakai before throwing him down the pier and fled the scene immediately. However, she couldn't bring herself to let Malakai die so she went back to save him and drove him to the hospital. While Malakai was receiving treatment, EMS told Riley that Gillia was a witness to the attempted murder and had reported it to the authorities.
Raymond, being a great friend of Riley, drove her back to her apartment to prepare for any potential raid. They later rekindled their relationship. Not long after, Raymond called Harry on the phone to inform him about Riley's situation. They talked for a while and Harry told Raymond: "I care about you, Ray" and "I just don't want you to get hurt", "like what you've seen first hand", referring to Riley's situation.
Then, coincidently, Raymond received the opportunity to do his first ever bank heist not long later. Raymond and Riley planned and robbed the bank together, while bringing along Juan Carlos Hernandez, aka Flippy, and Malakai, after his recovery and being the best hacker Riley knew at that instance (AND WHY NOT?). The heist was a success and Harry was happy and congratulated him over the phone for his first successful bank heist.

Recap by: Reynimud#2881
Ray starts off the day at the Manor, relaxing a bit before he gets a call from an unknown number, it's Cindy Tipton asking to hang out later, Ray agrees. He then calls Mickey S who frantically tells him to go help boys who are getting away from a lower vault. X, Tony Corleone, Marty Banks and Mickey are scrambling around Los Santos to try and get the loot out. Ray teams up with X and they secure most of the loot with a bait plan, but Ray and X later end up in jail. Ray loses his VIN scratched Ninja in the process. While in prison, X reported to DOC that someone had a knife in order to start a riot. Cops arrived, they beat down some cops and robbed them. After downing all the DOC members in prison, they set up an ambush in prison cells. Ray positioned with his rubber gun, knocked 2 cops down, but got gunned down with the other prisoners in the end. His time was already served during all this, so after getting medical treatment, he was let go. After getting out of prison, Ray checked the status of his bike from his phone, and saw that it wasn't crushed yet, so he thought it might still be in mrpd, waiting to get transported. He went to mrpd, spied on the garage and saw his bike there. While sitting in the corner of the garage door, he almost got spotted by Roy Armstrong. He ran to the open, and before Roy can do anything to him, he got out and got in his car and left. He stopped by a clothing store to change into a cop looking outfit. He then went back to mrpd and sat in the bushes again. He saw his bike being taken out of the garage and transported, so he left immedietly as he knew it was too late.
Ray went to the manor. Lang Buddha said that X was in danger near Rooster's Rest. Ray went in with his lambo to pick him up and also save Marty. They weren't able to find marty but Ray distracted the cops and helped X get away. After that, Ray got a call from Yuno saying he needed help in Maldini's Pizzeria. Before arriving there, Ray saw a Twat from Tony that said "Ray has a small cock". Ray got out of his car and walked on Tony in a joking manner with his shotgun in his hands, and shouted at him. After this interaction, Ray left Maldini's and took Yuno with him. Yuno said he forgot to pay and that there was a really nice girl in the restaurant, this made Ray go back there.
When they went back, Ray saw Kitty Dream, his EX, and Goofy sitting together and greeted them. Goofy said he was paying for everyone's meal and Yuno said Ray never buys Yuno food. When ray was about to leave, Tony kept instigating it and Ray pulled a gun on them. after a heated conversation about the situation, they left to the manor and talked it out, making up and promising not to pull guns on his boys. He did another VAR attempt with X, Tony and Yuno. Ray went down almost immediately and they failed the attempt wihtout even making it to the second hack. After, he met up with Speedy to buy meth, guns and ammo from him. Later he met up with Kitty and Chemist to talk about Betta Life, then Ray called Judge Crane to arrange a meeting. The Judge informed Ray about the news of Abdul AlRahim's impeachment. From there Kitty and Ray left to go to Mirrorpark where the meeting was gonna be held, on the way Ray and Kitty talked about the incident in Maldini's. Kitty said it was the first time that he showed he was hurt from the breakup, Ray said that of course he was hurt, it was just his coping mechanism to hit on others. Ray also learnt Kitty and Goofy were officially dating. In the meeting, Ray and Kitty mentioned Bettalife's problems with Ray being the owner. Crane proposed two ideas: one being the expungement route, the other being the shadow owner route. Ray said he wanted his name on the company he's worked on for ages and that he would try to go for the expungement process. Ray later hung out with Santiago Madrid and after driving around for a bit, decided to do Ray's boost for a VIN scratched tow truck which was a success. To end off a very eventful day, Ray, Santi, Yeagar and Bodhi Mack attempted the yacht, which they ultimately ended up failing.

Raymond woke up to a call from Kitty Dream and she broke some bad news to Raymond: one of the employees, Bodhi Mack, got bettalife oxy from Suzan, the lady outside the Betta Life Pharmaceuticals building, and gave it to Chang Gang. When Ray heard about what happened, he was not happy at all because none of the workers except Ray and Kitty are supposed to get Bettalife oxy from Suzan. Ray called Mr. Kebun to let him know about the situation, told him that they can keep the oxy but they should be super careful about not getting caught with it (Ray didn't ask for the oxy back, because he knew they were using the oxy in the VAR heist where there is basically no risk of jail time). Mr. K was understanding of the situation and agreed. After this, Bodhi was suspended from the company because it was a misunderstanding on his part. While driving around, Emma Gaine called Ray to catch up, Ray was really happy to hear from Emma, and the fact that she was taking the mayorship seriously; he even told her he will get everyone he knows to vote for her because she is a good friend. Ray also thought Emma being mayor would help the company to move forward because of her relationship with the hospital, her knowledge and the fact that she will hold power as a mayor. Ray was gonna hang out with Emma, but when he called Mickey S he found out him, Tony Corleone, Denzel Williams, Speedy, and Bjorn were hanging out at the Manor and wanted to hang out with them instead. He went to the manor and starting chatting with Mickey, Speedy and Denzel. They talked about Betta Life, a bank plan and some other things. They went out together with the intention to hit a bank, but they were already being hit. They saw some people outside the Bay City Bank, they all wanted to rob those people, only Tony in the radio was against the idea and left the boys to do whatever they want instead of joining them.
They didn't end up robbing the people when they realized they weren't actually hitting the bank and left the area as quick as possible. The group went back to the manor after droving up north and coming back down, then started to discuss the plan again for their Fleeca bank. They wanted to hit the Great Ocean Highway Fleeca bank. They got a hostage from Burger Shot. They went to the bank but it was already hit. They checked the Harmony Fleeca bank, it was hit too. While at the Harmony bank, the hostage who was a veteran said something to piss off Ray and Ray shot him down with the support of Denzel, they left the man there and drove away. Mickey was really disappointed and Ray said he didn't care. Denzel became a mediator for the situation. With the help of bjorn, they learned that none of the other banks were available, so they wanted to hit the Jewelry Store. It was hit too. Denzel suggested the idea to rob a restaurant. They first said uwu, but Ray said he has a great relationship with Ash Ketchup and doesn't wanna be seen robbing her business. They wanted to go for Burger Shot first instead.
They positioned around Burger Shot near it's closing time. To their luck, there were cops in the area and they stopped Tony driving his go-kart. He was let go after a few minutes and the cops left the area as well. The crew held people up in front of Burger Shot to be hostages, but then someone in the crew spotted someone with a gun on a building's roof nearby and some cops in the area, so they let the people go. As soon as they got in the car, the car started getting shot at but they managed to escape from the scene. When they went to the pier to rob Burger Shot there, they realized that there are no other employees there. They left the pier after they heard police sirens and gunshots coming from Burger Shot, since they left Speedy behind and he didn't respond on the radio, they thought he was shot down or got caught. It was cleared up after Speedy give the confirmation that he was all good. They all go to the manor and hang out there while Lang Buddha wakes up and joins them in the background cooking meth. A few minutes later, Buddha gets a call from X saying he is getting chased by the cops and that he needs help. Buddha tells him to bring the cops to the manor and tells the crew to get ready with their guns. They hold out in the manor: X and Marty Banks go down, but with the leading of Ray, they manage to down almost all the cops. After clearing out the backyard, Ray pulls X in the manor where he is secured from getting picked up by the cops. They hold out until tsunami and prevent the manor from getting breached. After tsunami hit, everyone sat down for dinner in the big table and talked about what went down. After some back and forth, X and Marty wanted to do the VAR. After picking up everything they need, everyone meets at the VAR building. They do the attempt with Ray, Lang, X, Marty, Tony and Bjorn. After a valiant effort they fail on the hacks with some misfortuante pannel placement.
Heading out of VAR, the group discussed whether they should hit it again later that night, but Bjorn suggested that they wait since they weren't too close anyway. Flipping the car on the way to Rooster's Rest, the squad then talked about what they should hit next, and decided to go to the Manor to think about it. Unfortunately, they never got to have this conversation because as soon as Ray dropped off his stuff he went with X and Marty to drop his stuff off. Which quickly turned into bombing cop cars at MRPD. Needless to say, it didn't go well, shots were fired and Ray tired to leave the situation without getting involved but cops chased after him anyway. After flipping his car in the tunnels, and some more driving, he eventually made it to the Lamborgini and got away. Switching cars and rolling around for a bit, Ray decides that he wants to boost, but he doesn't have any GNE so he calls up Rory Borealis who was selling GNE on the Yellow Pages. In conversation, she brings up Ray and Kitty's relationship, which Ray awkwardly has to tell her that they aren't together anymore. He also learns that months ago, he had kidnapped her multiple times for jobs and ran her over once, which was how she knew him. Once they transfered the GNE, Ray met a certain Antonio Rodrigues outside the Fleeca, who had told Rory he was Ray's son. To which Ray replied, "sigh... which one was it." 
After that interaction, Ray went to grab the things he needed for boosting. Unfortunately, he got sidetracked again by Jupiter Adams to deliver coffee to their girls night. He never ened up making it to drop off the coffee, whether it was ACDC or he just forgot he ended up at Burger Shot getting food by himself. 
Once that little adventure had concluded, Ray retrieved his Lambo from the Manor and went to the Tuner Shop to look at the customizations and change the color. He changed the color to red with a purple pearl to match Tony's R8. While there he met up with a bunch of racers to talk about boosting, cars, and trolling. While there he also met up with Jesse Reed and they talked a bit since they hadn't seen each other in a while. After that Ray finally parked his car and spontaneously hopped in AP's car and broke his window, to the dismay of AP. Hanging around a bit longer after that, he left to go get some errands done. By errands, of course, meaning hanging out with potential wife number 3, Opal Hart. But in the middle of his conversation he meets Yeagar who initially pulled a gun on him because he didn't recognize the color of the car. But once he saw it was Raymond he changed his demeanor and even complimented the car. After departing from each other Ray approaches an officer and asks what they like about the car to which to his surprise they respond positively, a special positivity coming from the two ladies behind them on a bike. Ray politely rejected them and went on his way.
Calling up Opal again and apologising for his abrupt end to their last conversation, he expressed that he still wanted to hang out a bit. They decided to go on a little helicopter "date" around the city. After the call he had gotten a text from Yeagar telling him to meet at Hayes Auto Body Repairs to purchase the silencers he ordered on their last encounter. While there, he met with Pez Speedwagon, a manager at the repair shop, who promptly got on his case for ingoring his phone calls to talk to women. This was only amplified by telling the group his plans for after the meeting. On that note he left for the air port to rent a helicopter and flew it over to pick up Opal for their date.
He lands in the water near the bank of Cassidy Creek, sweeping Opal away in style. They flew around the mountains Ray showing off his flying skills, and even landed in the lake for a bit as they talked. Ray took Opal back to the Manor and showed her around his castle of a home, hopeing to impress her. After the tour they went to the Diamond Casino and Resort where Ray then showed Opal around the penthouse because it was a more isolated place where they wouldn't be bothered. Once they had explored the luxury of the penthouse they flew back to the airport to take a ride in Ray's Lambo. As they drove Ray showed off with some drifts while Opal was on the phone with a friend checking in. Eventually they ended up at Rooster's where they encountered Penny Farthing, a good friend of the family, who teased Ray and his date, telling Opal to "Be careful with this one". Ray ordered Opal and himself some food and continued to chat with the workers and Opal, there he also met Scarlet Rose, a friend of Opal's who was at the river where he picked her up. After recieving their food, they sat down together and ate their meals, sharing conversation and savoring more than just their food. 
After they had finished their meal, they hung out in Rooster's a little while longer before heading out and hopped in Ray's lambo to do a little more driving. He let Opal drive for a bit but due to some unfortunate head aches, the car wasn't in the best shape when they swapped back. As the final stop on the date, Opal took Ray over to her house and showed him around. It was oddly similar to the house Ray and Kitty shared which Ray quickly pointed out. After that, the two parted ways, Ray expressing that he'd love to hang out again and that it was fun, Opal seemed to share the same sentiment.
On the way from Opal's house, Ray passed by some strange looking individuals on the road. Approaching them one responded as Santa who told Ray he was a good boy this year and that he'd be getting another Lambo. To which Ray laughed in his face and began listing off the things he had done to people... like murder. "Santa" still insisted he'd be on the nice list while Ray quiried about who was in the car, the passenger answered Big Mac, the trunk answered as well. Asking about the trunk the Santa quickly got in and drove away. Ray stayed in place in stunned silence for a moment before driving off as well. 
Finally making his way back to the Manor, Ray decided to look through his stuff a little, but saw that some of his things were missing as always. While puzzling about where these things could have gone, he heard foot steps in the Manor, but he had not seen anyone come inside. For a tense few minutes Ray stayed in the secret stash, gun at the ready, just in case it was an unwelcomed intruder. He existed the stash using the upper secret door and cleared the area, jumping from the balcony and searching the entire house, outside and all, but finding no one there. Confused, he continued to chill at the Manor alone, running around and exploring with his gun out, almost reinacting the events from earlier that day. After a while, Raymond decided to go to sleep after a long exciting day of running around the city.

Raymond got an S+ boost today, a Dodge Challenger Demon (costing 350 gne), as soon as he logged into boost queue. He talked to Adam Peterson (AP), a member of the racing crew Ray is in (Redline), about it and they decided to wait for Tony to be avalible to help. Raymond then discussed Betta Life with Mickey, origanly for advice on dealing with the open investigation, but it devolved into a conversation about who should run Betta Life, in which they didn't come to a conclusion. Mickey left to find a heli for the boost job, and raymond stayed at the manor. First calling Emma Gaine, then meeting Tony at the manor, telling him about his and Redline's victory in Marlo Stanfield's 100k race and about the boost. Tony helped him find a GNE seller, and proceded to meet him to buy it. After a sucessful transaction they planned out the boost, Tony would drive a secondary mercedese amg? to intercept the police, AP would drive the boosted car with Raymond hacking, Mayumi Himura would also drive a seprate car along with Chemist. As Ray got prepped for the boost, then met up with the crew at the manor. With high spirits the crew started the job, finding the car in Rockford Hills. Raymond nailed the inital hack and they started to drive. Tony was driving AP's car which was a Challenger Demon same as the boost, so cops initaly followed Tony instead of the boost. Raymond contiued to hack with ease and confidence, while Air1 just picked up on them. Raymond failed his 7th hack, but continued with ease, at about the same time an interceptor was on the trail of the boost. AP continued to drive expertly, and there were no close moments between the boost and the police. After hacking 10 in a row , raymond started to fail some hacks, but with AP's reassurence regained composure and progress.
Around this time Mayumi broke off to help a friend at prison (Bodhi). They experinced an unfortunate accident with another driver, and got flipped. The police surrounded them and Raymond ran away on foot, while Adam fliped the car. A few assosiates got caught, but Raymond was able to drive off after being cuffed and tazed multiple times. Mayumi rejoined to crew as Raymond was rammed and tazed but managed to pick up Tony at the apartments so he could drive. At this points the cops were very agressive.
Raymond was at 12/20 hacks and in a police chase near Ottos Autos and then his headpopped. He quickly woke up at Ottos and got a pick up from Mickey, while the crew with the car (Tony, Mayumi, and Chemist) tried to hold someone hostage so they could repair the car. They refuled and repaired the car, and continued the boost with Tony driving and Raymond hacking. Mickey helped Chem out of cuffs and then dropped him off at the Clean Manor. Raymond was at 17/20 hacks then couldn't acces his pockets, and none of his crew could, which made hacking impossible. A few minutes later the entire city popped. After the city reawoke the PM gave him the contract again considering the unfortunate circumstances.
The crew for the redo was Raymond, Mike Wadum (Iceman), Adam Peterson, Bohdi, Chemist, and Mayumi. The crew was tired but ready to go again, starting in high spirits in a snowy Rockford Hills. Raymond failed the hack to unlock the vehical twice, but got it on the third attempt. They took off with Adam driving and Raymond hacking, with little heat from cops. The boost was going amazingly and then Raymond's head popped again. Raymond was picked up at apartments and continued with the hacks. The hacks continued with moderate sucess, with Raymond compleating all hacks. However They had two interceptors and Air1, and only 11 minutes to finish the job. They lost the ploice but with 5 minutes left an interceptor caught on to them again. The interceptor was pitted and Raymond scratched but the cops held them up at the scratch location, and spiked them. Raymond's headpopped immediatly after getting spiked when the group was deciding what to do. The cops shot at them, hurting AP. Raymond and Mike shot a cop, then engaged again outside a bennys, while the car they just scratched tried to repair. Around 4 were downed. Raymond hid in PDM, and everyone else was out. Raymond hitched a ride to the VU with a guy who showed up at PDM, and walks into a random party at the VU, describing the situation as "Going through hell and walking into heaven". To everyones shock, Raymond only stayed for about 5 minutes, getting a ride to the manor from Garry Barry. At the manor Raymond met up with his crew and after a fair amount of joking, parked his car. After the crew changed clothes, some headed off to the VU, making plans with Kaiba to do the lower vault on the way.

Raymond started his day off with a jewelry store along with Kiwi to try Ray's new vin scratch Panamera turbo while Chemist and Gheto Kaiba started preparing for the VAR heist. During the chase, the car was not up to Raymond's expectations and the locals just made it worse. His tricks were of no use against Jim Underwood and after a relatively long chase, Ray was VCB and went inside the manor to hide but underwood heard the car go inside the manor. As a result, cops stationed outside the manor waiting for Ray to exit. Ray on the other hand, was unsure whether or not the cops had seen him go into the Manor and prepared for a breach. Thankfully, the cops had not seen Ray enter, and were only staking the place out. After all the cops left and only Candice DeFitt was left watching the manor from the hill, Raymond decided to escape from the back door and was able to do so without being seen.
After this, the crew regrouped and they decided to attempt the VAR heist as planned. As time went by, the chances of them being successful kept increasing. They were able to successfully hack all the 10 computers on the top floor but, once the lights went out and the next stage began, they were unable to complete the last hack in time and were unsuccessful. 
After this job, Tsunami happened and Raymond decided to wakeup at the manor where he met Egg, Kayn Larp and Barry Svensson and they all had a talk. After Yaeger and Barry departed to make a deal, Ray took Egg for a ride in his Lamborghini where they went around the city for a bit before meeting Sasuke Johnson at the apartments. Where Sasuke approached Ray at the and wanted to learn the art of Harem accumulation. They proceeded to go towards UwU Café but Sasuke had to leave.
Later, Ray got a call from Marlo Stanfield who informed him that he had setup a Race. Due to this, Ray dropped off Egg at a clothing store as per her request and went to the Races... He took part in 3 races and finished 1st, 2nd and 6th respectively. In the last race, he full sent it in the last lap as a result of which the Aventador ended up in the ocean.
After the races, Raymond met up with the crew, who now included Mickey S and Harry Brown, and they decided to rob the Paleto. While on their way to prepare for the heist, Ray got a call from Sasuke and called everyone over to the apartments where he introduced them to Sasuke who proceeded to demonstrate his powers. After everyone departed, they got a call from Sasuke and found him in the tunnels where the battle of Ken-Sama vs Sasuke took place. Rayochimaru, as was his anime-given name, quickly became the final villain to fight against Ken, prevailing in the end. After a strange exit that can only be explained by 48quit nojutsu, they headed back to the Manor. Upon arriving back at the manor after the battle, they decided to get the equipment ready for the heist during which Ray was on a call with Kitty Dream and was asking her if she wanted a boost contract. Mickey felt like Ray wasn't listening to the plan and he ran the car over a fire hydrant which resulted in Raymond and Lando getting ejected from the trunk, this made Raymond furious and as a result he started shooting at the Sultan while Mickey drove away. 
Raymond decided that it was enough and he began to hunt down Mickey. After some staking out, Raymond found Mickey at the laptop pickup spot and took him hostage. From there, he placed Mickey in his Porsche Safari and took him to the beach. Raymond tried conveying his message to Mickey and asked him to apologize but he refused to do so. While at the beach, Ray made it clear to Mickey that he felt bad for having to do this but deemed it to be necessary. This time, Raymond snapped, he shot Mickey and proceeded to ocean dump him. (clip)
He told the crew at the moment about this and everyone including The Guild were disappointed in Ray and had made it clear that he had lost their respect. Harry called Ray to let him know that Mickey was in ICU and asked Ray how he felt, but Ray wasn't too sure himself as he felt stuck in the middle. As the day went on, Ray drove around the city for a bit and attended a few phone calls from the nerds before deciding to go to sleep, unsure for the day ahead.

Raymond began the day waking up at the apartments, he didn't have anything particularly planned for that day so he opted to hang around there for a while to see what he could get up to. As is the reputation of the apartments, you can always find an interesting assortment of people there, walking out of the apartments he was immediately asked by a random if he sold guns. To which Raymond of course said no then promptly "Who asked?" and walked away. Quickly after ditching the random, he saw Larry Knox doing SBS things in the street and decided that nothing could possibly go wrong in talking to him and called him over. Obviously, Raymond thought it was best to ask Larry if he could help him no commit crimes because Ray was on bail for serious terrorism and treason charges earned from the break out of Michael Simone a couple days prior. Their conversation was cut short however when Raymond spotted Ellie Dono run past them and called her over, despite Larry's protests. The two had apparently had a "local battle" in the courtroom and now disliked each other as a result. After some bickering and a few others joining in the fun, Sana Satoru came by the apartments to which Ray promptly greeted, ignoring everyone else there. He asked the same question he had asked Larry, to help him stay out of trouble. Sana quickly suggested that they do something fun and crazy, go on an adventure. Which it was quickly suggested they take another hike up to Mt. Chillead.
