Grand Theft Auto V Story Winding Down

(Spoilers ahead about Grand Theft Auto V)

I feel like I'm close to the end of Grand Theft Auto V.  My menagerie of misfits has just pulled off an extremely huge heist that netted them a combined $200 million payoff.  The Union Depository job was one that I managed to pull off despite some mistakes.  For this job I opted for a more confrontational approach rather than the typical "subtle" approach.  As a result of this choice I was faced with a fierce gun battle between various law enforcement officials and Merryweather Security forces.  I frantically tried to navigate Franklin and Michael through the gauntlet of angry police officers and helicopters to the location of the getaway vehicle in the parking garage.

The getaway vehicle almost turned into a total fiasco.  I had taken it to Los Santos Customs and souped it up but had forgotten one key feature....bulletproof tires.  While locked down in the middle of an intense gun battle in the basement of the parking garage, I switched from Franklin to Michael and was dismayed to find that Michael was taking cover behind said vehicle.  I watched helplessly as bullets pinged off the beautiful SUV I stole from a parking lot and then lovingly fitted with armor and turbo chargers.  Then I heard that sound I was dreading...the pop and hiss of a tire being shot out.  So now my getaway car had a flat tire and I had a five star wanted level.

At this point my getaway was looking questionable at best.  My three-wheeled SUV comfortably sat all three robbers, but was extremely sketchy on sharp turns.  After a few failed turns, I decided to settle on a straight getaway path.  I maneuvered my damaged Canis Seminole into an alley and hoped for the best.  The seconds ticked by as I watched the flashing dots patrolling the main roads.  Don't turn down the alley....but there's always that one stupid cop who does, so it was off to the races again.

It's here that I made a choice that could have turned out ver poorly.  I steered my SUV up a hill toward a giant outdoor amphitheater.  This venue only had one way in and out so if the police caught up my escape could be pretty hairy.  I drove up the road and reached the end...but rather than stopping I decided to keep going and park directly in front of the stage--not technically in an alley, but also not right on a road.  I watched again as the police searched the mains roads leading up to the amphitheater.  Fortunately, the police have higher standards and wouldn't drive right through the middle of a major venue.  Five star wanted level evaded.

Now all my characters are $28 million richer.  I have a feeling things aren't going to work out well.  Here are the scenarios I'd like to see:

--Michael and his family work through their issues and are happy.  Michael starts working for Solomon Richards at the studio and eventually takes over.

--Franklin and Tenesha re-unite. Franklin gets out of the crime game and lives a normal life off his share of the cut.

--Trevor kills Medrazo and rescues Patricia.  Even though I think the Trevor/Patricia thing is kind of weird, it's also kind of cute.  Trevor would continue to be pursued by Mexican gangsters, but he is happy that way.  He spends his cut ferrying Patricia around from place to place as they evade those angry gangsters.

Here's what I think will actually happen:

--Franklin has been told by the FIB that he needs to "take care of" Trevor.  I think Franklin will go to do this, but will be stopped by Michael.  I think Michael and Trevor will fight, but that they will reconcile and eventually go off on their own ways.

--more likely they will all end up killing each other.

Of all the characters, I want things to work out for Franklin the most.  He's the uoungest and seems like a decent guy.

I will soon get to see how it all ends and if any of my predictions are true.  I've really enjoyed this GTA game and have felt very entertained.  The story has been fun and quirky in just the right GTA style.
