Templar Hotel, Carly's P.O.V
This is what's needed… no screaming, no siblings drugging anyone, no lunatics demanding things they aren't owed… just peace and quiet in this damn place!
Nine damn years I've spent in San Andreas… some have been downright horrible but along that way, I met someone who helped me rebuild my crazy life.
"Hey… you gotta close your eyes and rest at some point." Johnny says, me nodding in agreement even though sleep nowadays has been far from restful and replenishing.
Untying the hotel room bathrobe that covered my navy pajama shorts and grey blue cami, I slip it off and hang it on the door hook before climbing into the king sized bed and glance at the Tv as Johnny switched channels to Miami Vice as The Dutch Oven starts playing…
Being around my best friend and watching classic Tv, hoping for the familiar characters to bring comfort.
Even if it's just temporary…
3rd Person Perspective…
"Where the hell is she?!" Trevor asks after Michael showed up alone outside the Madrazo house, Michael shushing him.
"I've got a few ideas but she just needs time to herself…" Michael whispers, Trevor giving him an angered look. "Don't start! You pushed her away to begin with and I don't want her involved in this! Let's get this fucking job over with!" He growled.
Trevor picked the lock to the door after Michael disabled the alarm, both sneaking into the darkened house and Michael snuck around into back, finding the prized horse and petting her to calm her down.
"It's okay, girl… we're gonna find a nice place for you, horses aren't meant to be house pets." Michael whispers, untying the horse and sneaking her to the animal trailer they brought with them as well as putting a bag of carrots in the back of the getaway vehicle.
But when she was secured and Michael snuck back into the house, his eyes widened to saucers when he saw Trevor tying up and taping Patricia's mouth shut.
"Trevor, what the-" Michael starts to shout, Trevor clamping a hand over Michael's mouth.
"She heard us, we'll need a bargaining chip! We're taking her!" Trevor says in a tone that meant that his mind was made up and Michael wasn't getting a choice in the matter.
Michael emptied the unlocked safe and put everything in the bag before grabbing it and heading outside, putting it in the Cavalcade FXT that Trevor commandeered before climbing it and Trevor driving off as the horse started freaking out in the animal trailer.
"Shut the fuck up before I pull over, open that door and eat your warm liver!" Trevor yelled at the traumatized horse.
"Maybe if you drive normally, that poor thing won't be freaking out!" Michael shouts.
"Maybe if Carly had joined in, she could've helped calm the beast! Both you and her owe me restitution for that stunt in Ludendorff!" Trevor yells.
"Carly doesn't owe you a damn thing, quit placing involvement on her for what happened nine fucking-" Michael shouts, both him and Trevor realising that the horse was no longer screaming and Michael turned around.
Patricia had gotten free of her restraints but to their shock, she wasn't trying to flee… instead, she had tossed a few carrots out the opened back windshield and into the barred window of the trailer, the horse eating them happily.
"With all the people Martin has done business with over the past 30 years I've stayed married to him, you think I haven't picked up a few tricks on how to get out of restraints? Now that Bella's calmed, keep on driving to wherever you're heading." Patricia says in a calm, motherly tone, Michael now knowing how Amethyst managed to stay sane with how her parents are.
The caravan was quiet when they got there, Trevor saw no sign of Sam… and part of him didn't really care as he and his daughter hadn't been getting along at all over the past 6 months.
Tying Bella to the fence for now, Michael and Trevor walked into the caravan with what was in the bag and looked it over.
"Michael, we are gonna be two very rich bank robbers!" Trevor says in a slightly greedy tone.
"Money just makes people miserable, T." Michael says, Trevor ignoring him and Michael glancing out the window.
'Wherever you are, stay there and stay safe, Carly.' Michael thought as it started to rain.
The insanity had driven her into hiding, Michael knew that all too well… but he didn't know where and that worried him.
