A few hours earlier…
"You really are fucked up in the head… you could've broken my back, I can't… feel my legs. And why the fuck am I tied up?! You're screwed when they find you!" Carly said after regaining consciousness, Trevor crouching down to her and grabbing her by her hair. "It's over with, we did the damn score… we never have to be around each other again." She said.
"This ain't about that." Trevor responded.
"You kicked me out of your life after you said I was just a fucked up wreck who deserved nothing but every bit of hate from your heart… what are you gonna do, murder me? Finally done using me as a target for your rage for something I had nothing to do with almost a decade ago?! Come on, Trevor motherfucking Philips, get it over with then!" Carly replied, shouting the last part and Trevor punching her across the face.
"No one will come looking for you, much less your corpse! You mean nothing to your mother, even less to your siblings and your father's too much of a fucking snake to give a damn! Oh and don't say that Johnny or Franklin care about you, they just want you around so-" Trevor ranted.
Carly had been cutting the ropes on her wrists and had gotten free, punching Trevor before taking a 2x4 and whacking it across his back repeatedly until he was on the ground and the 2x4 was broken. With him down, she grabbed her keys from his hand and ran outside, jumping onto her bike and speeding off.
Standing up, Trevor chased after her and got in his Bodhi, attempting to run her off the road… but she swerved and he headed to the fields.
"You fucking little Judas! You're just like them!" Trevor shouted as he followed her.
When he reached the fields, that was when his truck crashed and he stumbled out of it…
Present time…
Sam and K8lynn had stopped by an abandoned house and walked into it… when they did, they found a turned over chair, broken 2x4, blood and cut up ropes.
Another thing they had found was Carly's switchblade and a broken shovel handle.
"Mother of God… he did fucking snap." K8lynn said quietly before both turned to the doorway and saw Johnny.
His eyes widened when he saw what they had seen… and then he left, Sam taking pictures of everything and sending them to Dave.
When Dave saw the pictures, he immediately put it together and called Carly.
"I'm not gonna place you under arrest, Carly." Dave said.
"You found out…" Carly responded after closing and locking her bedroom door.
"Sam and K8 found the house you were held captive at… honestly I can't speak for them after all these years of Trevor's hold but on my part, no one's hurting you, or dragging you out of house and home." Dave replied.
"It was damn traumatizing…" Carly responded.
"Understandably. Look, just be careful. There's someone out there who wouldn't take too kindly if the truth came out." Dave said before they hung up.
Carly brushed a stray hair off of her white over wrap kimono top before she heard a knock at the door and walked downstairs to answer it, her and Johnny hugging.
LS Hunterz clubhouse…
"Brothers and sisters gather around." Ashley Bryan said, all the LS Hunterz members gathering around the bar, where Ashley stood. "I just got word that Trevor Phillips is dead." She explained.
"What does mean for the business boss?" Clint McCall asked.
"It's means, since I'm the eldest daughter, everything get handed to me. We run the whole state now!" Ashley answered, the Hunterz cheering.
"We are the kings and queens of the whole state!" Tommy LaFort yelled.
"Hell yeah! Let's see if anyone dares to double cross us now!" Ashley shouted.
"What to do now boss?" Scott Millerson asked.
"Well let's go and claim our new territory before someone else thinks they can take it." Ashley said, the Hunterz cheering.
But the happiness was short lived as soon as they walked out... a dozen LSPD cruisers showed up and officers got out, aiming their guns.
"Ashley Bryan! Raise your hands up into the air!" An officer yells, Ashley folding arms across her chest.
"And what are you arresting me for exactly?" Ashley asked.
"For the death of Trevor Phillips and framing an innocent person! Under the orders of the FIB!" The officer yells.
Ashley slowly raised her hands into the air, looking slightly confused.
"Slowly walk down with your hands up in the air!" The officer yells, Ashley walking down slowly before one of the officers grabbed her and pushed her down onto the police car.
"Look I ain't your wife asshole." Ashley mutters as the officer frisked her, pulling out her pistol, two clips and her knife out of her before she was handcuffed.
"You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law." The officer said after handcuffing her. Ashley made a growling noise as she was lifted off the car and put into the backseat.
"Shit! What the hell are we gonna do now?" Scott asked.
"I know someone…" Clint answered before grabbing his phone.
De Santa's house…
"And in breaking news, police have arrested the LS Hunterz leader, Ashley Bryan in connection with the death of Trevor Philips." The news reporter says, Carly's and Johnny's heads snapping up when they heard the name.
"Oh fuck." Carly muttered, her phone ringing. "Yes?" She asked.
"Tiny, it's Clint… look, we need your help." Clint answered.
"It's all over the news… look, she didn't kill him." Carly said.
"I know she didn't… and I know you had your reasons for doing so but Ash wouldn't frame you. Even if she knew you were in the city… look, just head down here." Clint explained.
The two hung up and Carly and Johnny left, reaching the police station.
'Haines is next on my kill list… fucker has no right framing Ashley!' Carly thought angrily as she and Johnny walked in.
The visitor's room was quiet, Ashley looking up as Carly walked in.
"Well… look who's showed up after almost a decade." Ashley said. "Come to tell me I had this coming ever since what happened between us?" She sneers.
"No… I was the one who killed him." Carly responded before revealing her bruises, Ashley's brown eyes widening in horror.
"Then why the hell am I the one in cuffs?! Unless…" She makes a low growling noise. "Your dad told his little FIB friends that it was me to keep you safe! That fucking two faced cunt!" She yells.
"They're not his friends, Ash! They screwed him over too!" Carly said, readjusting her shirt.
"Bullshit Carly!" Ashley yelled. "Tell me how does it feel throwing the rest of us under the bus, so you and the other snakes could play happy family! Tell me how it feels Carly Jade Townley!"
"I didn't throw you under the bus, you stubborn bitch! And don't judge a book by it's cover… every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way!" Carly said, shouting at first after slapping Ashley across the face.
Carly left after that… as far as she was concerned, Ashley Philips died the day that Trevor had abandoned her.
