It was all in the blink of an eye…

Ben Kenobi's head snapped up as he was straightening up everything in Kyber-Nation and he ran outside, seeing his 18 year old goddaughter Carly unconscious and having been crashed into, evidenced by her bruised and bleeding body near her Double T Custom.

Ben ran over and crouched down, resting two fingers on Carly's neck and finding a pulse… but it was fading and the worst wound was a long and deep gash across Carly's left side, Ben pulling his Jedi robe off and pressing it to the injury.

Carly let out an agonizing scream as she was thrown back into consciousness, a scream even louder than the one she made when Immy had to take the lightning out of her.

"Carly… Carly, it's gonna be okay, sweetheart. Just calm down…" Ben says, trying to soothe her but every little touch to her make her feel like she was being stabbed, she was in so much agony that all she could do was scream until she started hyperventilating. Without a second thought, Ben rested his hands over each bruise and cut Carly had, the pain weakening… except for the one in her left side, it was still throbbing.

Carly rested her head on Ben's leg as he kept the pressure on her side, Ben knowing that whenever she was hurting, she just wanted to be hugged. With one hand on the robes pressed to the wound and ambulance sirens getting closer, Ben stretched out on the road and wrapped an arm around Carly, her head now on his left shoulder… and him listening to her thoughts.

'The bike… something was wrong with it, I couldn't... slow down and I tried.'

"Hey… we're gonna get you fixed up, you'll be good as new… and then I'm gonna find out who hurt you because nobody hurts you and gets away with it, Carly Jade." Ben says, lightly kissing Carly on her forehead.

The ride to the hospital was nerve wracking, Carly held onto Ben's hand and her eyes drifted around as the paramedics did their best to stop the bleeding in her side. She couldn't talk and wanted so badly to yell, ambulances were confining to her.

Once in the E.R, Ben had called everyone else… Michael, Sam, Johnny and Immy were already there and Johnny was by Carly's side, Sam and Immy were inconsolable and Michael was doing his best to keep from screaming at doctors. Even Ben felt like he was losing his mind, worried about Carly and wondering why K8lynn, Brad and Trevor hadn't answered their phones.

"How bad?" Michael asks after Clint walked over to him, looking like he was on the verge of crying himself.

"Her spleen was lacerated in the accident… we can stitch it up, it will heal. But Carly also has a rare blood type, Rh null… and we're low on it in the blood bank." Clint says.

"I have the same type… Clint, you have to save my daughter…" Michael says, tears falling down his face.

"She's got the best team of surgeons getting ready to operate on her… she'll make it, Michael." Clint says, Michael and the others going to check on Carly.

Michael looked at them and they left reluctantly… but they knew he needed time with her. Michael sat down and picked up Carly's small right hand between his much larger ones.

"I don't… want to lose you. I couldn't take it if I could, you're my little girl. You're all grown up now but you're still my baby… you have to fight this, come back stronger…" Michael says, lightly kissing an unconscious Carly on her forehead and briefly brushing his hand against her light brown hair, which was in a disheveled ponytail as a result of the crash.

Michael waited with the others after having two pints of blood drawn and Carly was taken into the O.R, Ben once again listening to Carly's thoughts.

'If I don't make it… please keep them from falling apart…'

'I will, little one… I will.' Ben thought, brushing his tears away.

At the same time, K8lynn, Trevor and Brad were all walking into their respective homes in Paleto Bay, Sandy Shores and Vespucci Beach.

K8lynn walked to the picture of her and Carly on the mantel in the living room… she was still angry, replaying the argument from earlier in her mind… specifically what Carly had yelled.

"Trevor's still influenced by the dark side, he won't let the Vader part of him go! He's not changing!"

K8lynn screamed in rage as she grabbed the photo frame and threw it against the mirror on the wall near the stairs, the glass from both the mirror and photo frame shattering.

Slamming the door of his caravan, Trevor was fighting his overwhelming urge to put the Vader mask on and cause mayhem in San Andreas… he felt like he had every right to be enraged because he felt like Carly refused to listen to him about her relationship with Johnny… Carly's angry words replayed.

"You want to give me hell for my relationship, you're a fucking hypocrite! You're screwing K8lynn and she's barely older, you have no business telling me what to do, you're just like Brad!"

Trevor immediately started trashing his place in rage, screaming at the top of his lungs…

The door locked on his apartment, Brad walked out to the balcony and looked out at the pier where he caught Carly and Johnny kissing… he replayed his earlier argument with her.

"This isn't right and you know it's not right!"

"My life, my choice, Brad! Johnny and I love each other and there's fuck all you can do to stop it!"

He wished he had chased after her when Carly jumped on her bike and driven off, he wanted to get her off it, apologize and hug her, he sensed something was wrong with it… but he was too angry.

Now he was regretting it… he hoped she had enough presence of mind to stop and that if she didn't, that she wasn't seriously harmed.
