=== The First Paleto Crisis and Dave’s Disappearance ===
In 2024, Damian Morrison was captured and brutally tortured by three members of [[Big Four|the Big Four]]: [[Tony]], [[Edward McHaggis]], and [[Jim]]. The interrogation left Damian physically battered and psychologically shaken. When he returned to Paleto Bay, his body bore bruises across his torso, and lingering joint pain made even routine movement difficult. The experience left him wary, withdrawn, and deeply changed.

When Uncle Dave learned what had been done to Damian, his concern quickly turned into alarm. He recognized that the syndicates operating in San Andreas were far more dangerous and untrustworthy than he had initially believed. Realizing Damian could not defend himself alone against such forces, Dave contacted his longtime friend Gerwin Cash and pleaded with him to intervene.

With few options left, Damian accepted Cash’s guidance and protection. In the meantime while Cash was underway, he met the people that tortured Damian and attempted to be friendly with them to give Cash as much time to come with weapons and equipment. Under Cash’s influence, Damian began to organize himself more deliberately, no longer as an isolated bar owner but as someone preparing for conflict. Around this period, the Bay Rebels formally came into existence, with Damian as its leader, Cash as second-in-command, and Uncle Dave acting as an unofficial supporter from the background.

Not long after, Dave came to a sobering realization when he was being sucked off by a prostitute in his car. Damian was drawing the attention of powerful criminal organizations, and Dave himself could become a target, either as leverage or as a warning. He understood that his continued presence in San Andreas risked endangering both himself and his nephew.

To remove himself from the board without provoking suspicion, Dave crafted a lie that played into his long-standing reputation. He announced publicly that he was suffering from a severe sexually transmitted illness and that his health was rapidly declining. The news shocked many but did not invite scrutiny. Dave had always lived recklessly, and few questioned the story.

Privately, Dave prepared to leave the state. His destination was Vice City, a place where anonymity, indulgence, and excess made disappearance easy. Only Gerwin Cash was aware of the truth. Cash deliberately kept Dave’s departure hidden from Damian, believing that the absence, sudden and unexplained, would harden him rather than weaken him.

Dave officially died in San Andreas. A funeral was held, and a grave was filled, but the body buried was not his. It belonged to one of Dave’s regular whores who died from a drug overdose shortly after being with him. Recognizing the opportunity for a clean disappearance, Dave allowed the death to stand as his own. To most, he was a dying man who finally succumbed. In reality, Dave slipped out of the state under cover of his supposed death.

From afar, Dave coordinated his final affairs. He instructed Gerwin Cash to liquidate the scrapyard through foreclosure and wire the proceeds to him. With the money secured, Dave flew to Vice City to begin a new life, severed from San Andreas and the war he knew he could not fight directly, leaving Damian to stand on his own.

=== Vice City Escapades and reunion with Damian ===
After arriving in Vice City, Dave wasted no time. He secured a modest apartment and focused on a single ambition he had carried for years: owning his own strip club. With the capital transferred from the sale of his scrapyard, Dave began laying the groundwork immediately.

Understanding how lucrative the adult entertainment industry could be, Dave founded an escort company, employing both foreign and American women. His experience with nightlife, indulgence, and clientele gave him an instinctive understanding of what sold and how to manage the business efficiently. Within a year, the operation expanded rapidly. Dave acquired three strip clubs across Vice City and established his escort company as a major player in the local scene. For the first time in his life, he felt truly untouchable, wealthy, anonymous, and in control.

After the Second Paleto Crisis, Damian Morrison and Gerwin Cash travelled to Vice City. There, Damian was reunited with Dave, initially confused and shaken by the revelation that his uncle was still alive. Dave explained everything openly and welcomed him without hesitation.

Gerwin Cash assumed the role of Head of Security for all of Dave’s businesses, overseeing protection, logistics, and internal discipline. Damian assisted Cash, learning the structure of Dave’s new empire. Despite the comfort and success, Damian felt unresolved. He believed his story in Los Santos was not finished and that he needed to return one final time in mid-2025.

Dave warned him against it, understanding the risks better than anyone. Damian insisted. He returned to San Andreas alone. Cash chose to remain in Vice City, believing his chapter in Los Santos had already closed.

Dave and Cash continued running their operations in Vice City, insulated from the chaos they had left behind. For them, the long road of instability finally ended not with power or conquest, but with survival and satisfaction.
