It wasn't money, it was incriminating documents that Michael lost when he crashed his car. The trashed vehicle eventually ended up in another business owned by Patrick, where the documents were discovered. And I assume Patrick realised they could be useful leverage over a rival criminal gang, so he locked them in his safe at the Bar. And it was those documents Anna wanted to recover.don't get me wrong I didn't mind them on my slut save in Ch1. I just wasn't feeling it so much on my roleplay / main save. As I felt like she been there too long for something that was meant to be temporary ( a few weeks max) so felt like it was starting to overstayed it's welcome. Since I didn't see or recall a valid reason to stay there haha. But that might be on me for not recalling the real reason for the blackmail as from I recall while playing I never felt like there really was anything worth blackmailing her for thinking she tried to steal money is kind of a weak reason for the amount of time she has been there.
There were two routes to steal the documents. One involved Anna having sex with Jim, to get him to open the safe for her. Although it was never explained, how Jim was going to avoid Patrick working out that he'd betrayed him? Since he was the only other person who knew the combination? The other had Anna persuade Robert to break in to it. And it was on this route, that Patrick finds out about them breaking in to the safe, and threatens Robert's life, unless Anna continues working for him.
Going forward, the game seems to assume that you chose the second route, even if you didn't. Even if you went with getting Jim's help, Anna still gets blackmailed by Patrick threatening Robert's life. Which doesn't make any sense, but it is what it is.
Anna still manages to recover the documents, and a grateful Carl sorts out an apartment for her and Andrew, and pays the first 6 months rent upfront.
