Editing Alexa Morrison (section)

=== Second Paleto Crisis ===
The Second Paleto Crisis began when [[Damian Morrison]] was spotted at the [[Hill Haven Church graveyard]] in Rockford Hills. Alexa was immediately summoned to an emergency meeting with the Big Four, where she firmly denied any involvement in her brother’s unexpected return. Given her prior support for Damian during the first crisis, her position was viewed with scepticism from Edward and Billy. However, Alexa maintained her composure and insisted she had cut ties with him. However, Alexa made sure that they did not kill Damian.

Billy and Jim took direct action, confronting Damian at the graveyard while he mourned his uncle. When pressured to leave the city, Damian refused and fled the scene, firing shots at Billy in the process. Alexa, having anticipated further escalation, chose again to stay uninvolved on the surface but kept close watch through her network. Soon after, Damian returned to Paleto Bay and reestablished the Bay Rebels with the support of Captain Cash, who had somehow survived his presumed death.

To strengthen their defence, Damian called upon their cousin [[Alexei]], whose arrival marked an escalation in the conflict. An aerial assault orchestrated by Billy failed, and the Bay Rebels retaliated by destroying [[Billy's farm]]. Alexa was not directly involved in these actions, but she closely analysed each move, recording who acted rashly and who held ground. In her mind, she still hoped that Damian was here to stay, but deep down she knew that was not possible.

Eventually, Jim, Edward, and Billy prepared a final operation to eliminate Damian. While Alexa did not oppose their efforts, she also did not participate. She already knew that Damian needed to go. The operation failed, and a broader assault was launched on Paleto Bay by the syndicates (excluding Alexa). The result was a costly and inconclusive battle with 28 dead and no strategic advantage gained.

With pressure mounting and the conflict unsustainable, Damian and Cash ultimately disbanded the Bay Rebels and left the region. For Alexa, the Second Paleto Crisis validated her earlier decision to stay detached. She continued to view Paleto Bay as a volatile zone unworthy of direct investment. In her eyes, influence was better maintained through stability, not through chaotic territorial contests.
