"Carly. Hey, sweetheart." Johnny greeted after answering his phone.
"Hey John boy, what you doing?" Carly asked.
"I'm walking through the park in LS, heading home." Johnny replied, checking he had his new bike s keys in his pocket.
"Johnny I love you." Carly says.
"And I love you." Johnny replied.
"No, not like that, not like the regular way to end off the phone call." Carly says. "Johnny I will never say that to anyone else again. From now on, those words from me are yours now."
Johnny walked into the road as she said this.
"So that's it." Carly says, hearing no reply. "Johnny?... okay come on, this is scaring me now." She tries to get a response, rubbing her four month pregnant belly. "Johnny, I love you no one else apart from our son will ever hear those words from me again." She says, a loving look in her eyes.
"He- hello?" A woman's voice called.
"Hello... who is this?" Carly asked.
"This phone, I just found it." The woman says.
"Well can you pass me back to Johnny, I was just talking to-" Carly stopped.
"It was so fast the car it just... it just came out of nowhere." The woman says, sounding very worried.
"I'm so sorry." The woman hung up, looking back to the bald headed biker in the road, half under a Blista Compact.
Carly dropped her phone as she ran outside, not stopping until she reached the scene, marked off by police barriers. She stood there again, three weeks later, just a few minutes after she'd been by Johnny's side when he died in the hospital.
''I... I don't know how... how we're going to do this... without him.'' Carly says. She had just found out that she and Johnny are having a boy on the same day as the accident.
Across the street and watching the soon to be mother was Ivory Smith.
He wanted to approach her but Carly's phone rang and she answered it, her expression changing from sadness to disbelief.
She hung up, hailed a nearby taxi and got in before it drove off. Ivory got on his Double T custom and followed the taxi from a safe distance. He had a feeling just who exactly called Carly.
Carly got out, heading to the outside of Ammu-nation. Ivory saw the person he expected.
"Hey Sam." Carly says, sounding very tired but Sam knew it was depression in her voice.
"Well you're only human, so what can I do for you?" Sam asks.
''What you said on the phone... how do you know?'' Carly asks.
''Call it instinctive, sis. Something wasn't right with the accident.'' Sam says.
''Not here... it's too open.'' Sam says before they walk away.
''Well... plan A might not be salvageable.'' Ivory says. He had a feeling that Sam was onto what he had planned. Ivory raced on.
"So it's like the Ludendorff job?" Carly asks then they stop and get in Sam's Ruiner.
"Not exactly. He's dead but I don't think he'll stay that way.'' Sam says. Carly couldn't believe it.
"And I know how we can get to him." Sam says before starting the Ruiner and heading for her house.
Unknown location, Johnny's POV.
C... Carly, where are you... where am I?
"Have you had any coffee?" A man in a suit peeks his head in the door.
"No." I reply.
"Can we get some coffee in room 5 please? The good stuff, we ve got another one!" The man calls down the hallway before entering, sitting on the other side of the desk I was just asleep on.
''Wh...Where's my wife?! What did you do to her?!'' I yell. So help me, if he's hurt Carly or the baby, I'll fucking murder him!
His reply was him looking towards the round window so I got up and ran to it. What I see completely blows my mind.
Ahead of me is a city. But this city curves around, like it's on the inside of a ball. There's city in front of me, behind me and upside down above me.
"Welcome to the nexus. Otherwise known as the nethersphere, the promised land paradise. It s where you go when you die." The suited man says. I'm out of control, breathing heavily.
"Would you like a painkiller?" He asks me.
''Where is she? Answer me, damn it!'' I yell at him.
''She'll find you... provided that the boss doesn't find her first.'' He says.
