"Young lady? Show me your hand." Hoyt says, Carly revealing her hand of cards to be a royal flush. Packie reached down for his knife but Hoyt grabbed his… Carly gripping the blade.
"I don't fucking think so! You already had Buck rape Dash, had me torture Jimmy and had Grant killed! Your reign of terror ends now, Volker!" Carly shouts, pulling on the knife as the door flew open and a flare arrow flew into Hoyt's right eye, making him scream in pain and fall to the ground as Midnight walked in.
"Who… the fuck… ARE YOU?!" Hoyt shouts as Midnight approached him, another flare arrow aimed at Hoyt, Packie pulling Carly out of the way.
"I'm your fucking worst nightmare!" Midnight yelled.
Hoyt lunged at her, Carly crash tackling him and stabbing Hoyt right between the ribcage and right hip before handing the knife to Midnight.
"Finish this bastard off. I'm gonna go find Jimmy." Carly says.
"Packie, go with her." Midnight says before Carly and Packie leave.
"They'll find you… I still-" Hoyt says, Midnight stabbing him right in the neck and causing Hoyt to choke to death on his own blood.
"They can come looking all they want, I'll just take them all down. No-one fucks with my family." Midnight says.
Midnight left, finding Carly and Packie, who were helping Jimmy out of a plane.
"Damn it, Midnight. I owe you big time." Jimmy says, Midnight seeing his poorly bandaged shoulder that failed to stop the bleeding bullet wound as well as the bruises from Carly being forced to torture Jimmy.
The four went to the boat, Midnight seeing Johnny's broken arm and leg.
"Who the fuck-" Midnight says.
"Did this? Vaas, before Carly caught up with us and killed him. Jimmy, you look like hell." Johnny says.
"So do you, Johnny. Come on, let's get the hell off this island." Jimmy says before he, Carly, Johnny, Packie, Midnight, Dash and Daisy got on the boat.
Packie sped off, driving the boat away from Rock Island. Carly glanced back at the island as she gripped Johnny's hand, Johnny squeezing Carly's left hand reassuringly.
"It's over with… we got out alive, sugar." Johnny says, Carly finally letting herself grieve for Grant and Alec.
"All Alec wanted… was to see his little girl again. All Grant wanted… was to go home." Carly says as tears fell down her face, Johnny hugging her.
"We got out alive… they can't hurt anyone else." Midnight says, lightly squeezing Carly's right hand.
It was a few hours later with Packie's crazy driving when the group ended up in Thailand, Jimmy, Dash, Johnny, Packie and Carly being checked out by doctors, despite Carly insisting she was okay after being knocked out repeatedly, nearly drowning, being in a helicopter crash and being shot, the lighter that Vaas had put in Carly's shirt pocket having stopped the bullet from hitting Carly's heart. Surprisingly, Carly wasn't badly injured, just bruises and cuts.
Carly looked at her phone, seeing multiple missed calls and voicemail messages from Sam, Sally, Immy, Rys, Craig, K8lynn, Ashley, the rest of the Philips siblings, the LS Hunterz, the Lost MC, Trevor, Lester, Franklin, Lamar, Michael, Tracey, Jack, Connor, Gerry, Adam and Niko.
Carly limped out to the reception desk and dialed Michael's number first.
"Hello?" Michael asks after answering it.
"Dad." Carly says, Michael sighing in relief.
"You're okay. They're okay, they made it out alive!" Michael says to everyone who was worried about the group.
"We all did… literally went through hell to get out alive." Carly says, feeling one of Johnny's arms wrap around her waist, despite his left arm being in a cast and Johnny having to use crutches to keep from falling and further injuring his broken right leg.
"Put her on speaker!" Trevor demands.
"Shut up, Trevor!" Michael shouts.
"Yeah, old man! Purple eyes is gonna be back before we know it, probably with a mini Klebitz growing in her belly!" Kyle says, Trevor shouting at him.
"Kyle, you wiseass!" Carly says, Johnny lightly kissing her on her forehead.
"Yeah, little bro! Stop antagonizing people!" Ashley says before Kyle hands her the phone.
"Ash, hey. Has everyone over there been going crazy these past 3 weeks?" Carly says.
"Crazy doesn't begin to describe the hell of 3 weeks that's been happening, particularly to us LS Hunterz." Ashley says.
"Rival gangs or are you guys fighting with each other?" Johnny asks.
"Both. Chris and Trent are both in jail after getting busted on a drug deal, Meth lab got blown up by those fucking Ballas. Tommy's hacking laptop has been smashed and Rex and Tex are not speaking to each other, have no idea why. It's been hell over here." Ashley says.
"Sorry, guys… been hell on that island too… but I'll tell you all when we get back… except Dash needs to tell Niko what happened to her." Carly says, Ashley noticing the tone of Carly's voice.
"Give me the phone!" Trevor shouts, Carly flinching out of instinct.
"Go and jack off in a sock!" Ashley yelled back.
"Oh, uh… Midnight wants to talk to him." Carly says as Midnight walks over, Carly handing the phone to Midnight as Ashley handed her phone to Trevor.
"Now you listen up, Carly Jade-" Trevor shouts, thinking Carly was still on the other end of the line.
"And that is no way to speak to anyone Trevor!" Midnight says.
"Midnight, what the hell has gotten into you?!" Trevor says angrily.
"Me?! You're the one screaming at Carly after she and the others barely escaped being killed!" Midnight says.
"How did they escape anyway?!" Trevor asks as Carly and Johnny sit down, Johnny wrapping his arms around Carly.
"I'm not going to tell you, you'll shove me into a fucking nuthouse!" Midnight says.
"Who the hell-" Trevor shouts, cut off by Midnight hanging up on him before she walked over and hugged Carly and Johnny.
"Why would Trevor put you in the nuthouse if you told him about how we escaped?" Johnny asks.
"The main reason that I went to that island was because I heard Ryan say "Midnight! Get out to that island, they are in danger!"." Midnight says.
"Spirits usually try to reach out to someone when they're in trouble." Carly says, Midnight noticing that Carly had felt like another spirit was there on the island with her… Brad's.
The second that everyone was deemed okay to leave the hospital, they caught the next plane to Los Santos. Carly fell asleep, Johnny lightly rubbing her back when he saw the agitated look on Carly's face.
"Trevor better not start yelling at us when we get home." Dash says, Midnight noticing that Dash was rather quiet and badly traumatized from being violated by Buck.
"If he does, I'll yell back at him." Midnight says.
"Thanks, Midnight." Dash says, resting her head against the headrest and closing her eyes, reminding Midnight of how Gionna behaved after she was attacked when she was 13. Midnight reached over and pulled a sleeping Dash into a hug.
The plane eventually reached LS International, everyone getting off of it. Michael was the first to hug Carly, who immediately returned the hug.
"I missed you, Dad." Carly says, Michael lightly kissing Carly on her forehead. The two let go, Carly and Trevor looking at each other… and Trevor moving towards Carly, startling her to where Johnny, despite being barely able to walk, stepped in front of Carly, which angered Trevor.
"Don't try anything Trevor, I still got one flare arrow left. I will shove it so far up your ass that you'll have something to be angry about." Midnight says.
"Why shouldn't I be angry right now when Klebitz tries to stop me from hugging my niece?!" Trevor says.
"Did you even care that during those three weeks, we were tortured, brutalized and almost died, you fucking lunatic?!" Dash yells, Trevor seeing pure rage in her eyes.
"If he did, he wouldn't be screaming his head off right now." Carly says, the pain she felt from the helicopter crashing hitting her completely.
"I thought you promised that you wouldn't yell at them." Ashley says walking over. Carly almost screaming at what she had seen. Ashley's left arm was completely burned and there was a massive gash down the right side of her face.
"What the hell happened?!" Carly asks.
"Me and Scott were in basement when the lab exploded." Ashley says.
The group ended up at Johnny and Carly's house, Carly heading into her and Johnny's room and pulling her clothes off and heading into the bathroom after Johnny had gotten cleaned off and dressed in clean clothes. Midnight walked in, seeing that Johnny had propped his broken leg and arm up on pillows.
"I bet you're glad to be home." Midnight says.
"Damn right… Vaas actually buried Carly under countless bodies after he thought he had killed her." Johnny says, startling and angering Midnight.
"I should have came with you guys instead of staying here." Midnight says.
"Trevor would've ripped my heart out if you had died on that island, Midnight… hell, Carly and I would never forgive ourselves and I know Gionna would be devastated if she lost you." Johnny says.
"I know... but if I was there, I could save you guys sooner instead of letting all of these things happen to you." Midnight says before sighing.
The bathroom door opened about a half hour later and Carly walked out, dressed in a red racerback tank top and navy pajama shorts, Midnight pulling her into a hug.
"Is everyone else okay?" Carly asks.
"Yeah, they're okay." Midnight says, Carly seeing that Midnight was holding something back.
"Is it Dash, did Buck damage her more than she said?!" Carly asks as they let go, Carly trying to find Dash but Midnight stopping her.
"No, no it's not that. I was wondering… how much more can we really take of this chaos before we completely break into pieces?" Midnight says, Carly and Johnny having wondered the same thing too.
"I don't know… I know there's gonna be a day where we wake up and our legs… just give out and we can't keep on running anymore." Carly says, Johnny remembering that Michael had said that after being rescued from the Triads.
"There is. I'm… gonna go talk to Packie." Midnight says before hugging Carly and Johnny. Midnight walked out of the room, seeing Packie on the phone.
"Here she is. It's your doctor." Packie says, handing Midnight the phone.
"Hello?" Midnight says… before smiling. "Are you sure? Are you absolutely sure? Thank you so much sir, thank you." She says before hanging up.
"Test results came back?" Packie asks, remembering that Midnight had a doctor's appointment just before Packie left.
"Yes and everything came back fine, the mass removed from my kidney isn't cancerous." Midnight says before the two hug.
"You had me scared there for a second, Midnight. I don't think I can go on living if I lost you." Packie says before the two kiss.
"Right now… I'm just glad you're all home. You guys really had me scared to death." Midnight says as they let go.
Meanwhile, Carly and Johnny were lying on the bed, holding each other.
"For a second-" Carly says.
"You thought we were gonna lose Midnight… I thought so too. I've known her for most of my life, she and Gionna are basically my sisters… I couldn't imagine losing either of them like I couldn't imagine losing you… but we're home now and we can heal from what happened. Live our lives however we want." Johnny says before they kiss. "But let's give ourselves time to heal physically before you and I start trying for a family of our own." He says, Carly nodding in agreement before the two fall asleep.
