'We gonna be okay with handling this heist?' Corey wrote down and showed it to Carly. The day after the incident with Ivory, Corey headed over to the De Santa residence to check on Carly and the two soon found themselves watching Casablanca.
"I think we'll be alright. Provided we don't get killed." Carly says. Normally, she would've chosen to watch Psycho but when Carly opened the DVD case, she found the disc broken in half, "Fuck you!" written in red lipstick on the disc itself.
In fact, most of the DVD's Michael bought were broken in half by Amanda. The only one still intact was Casablanca so both were watching it.
Carly started singing along to As Time Goes By started playing.
"You must remember this, a kiss is still a kiss… a sigh is just a sigh. The fundamental things apply… as time goes by…"
Corey seemed almost hypnotized by Carly's voice and leaned in towards the tiny brunette, his arm instinctively wrapping around her slender shoulders.
'I… hope she doesn't hit me.' Corey thought as Carly's violet eyes studied him before they leaned in close, Carly's left hand on Corey's right thigh.
Carly's phone buzzed and she looked at it.
'About ready to pull the Merryweather job! Get over here!- Trevor'
"Only when he needs something." Carly mutters before texting Johnny and telling him to meet them at Floyd's place before getting on her Vader and leaving with Corey, who wrapped his arms around her waist before Carly carefully drove off, not wanting to scare Corey with reckless driving.
Maybe it was the craziness caused by Ivory last night… maybe it was that Corey saved her from getting even more injured after Trevor threw them out of the chopper… whatever it was left Carly with a feeling of uncertainty.
"Hey there, you two." Johnny says, Carly and Corey getting off her bike and Carly hugging Johnny before all three walk upstairs and into the condo, hearing Michael and Trevor's incredible loud conversation.
"Well, what would you expect at their age?" Michael says, Carly and Corey glancing at each other as Carly slid her hands into her black skinny jeans pockets. She and Corey made sure to wear dark clothes, the heist was gonna be pulled at night and it was evening now. The whole group was dressed in dark clothes.
"Sandy Shores airfield, if you please!" Trevor says once they're all outside, Michael and Franklin in the driver and passenger seats of the Bodhi and Carly, Johnny, Corey and Trevor in the back as Michael drove them out of the Vespucci Beach area.
'Thankfully, your dad doesn't drive like a maniac. Right?' Corey typed nervously into his new phone, Carly recognising Immy's design.
'Sometimes. Not too much.' Carly mouths to him, Corey nodding.
Like Corey, Immy didn't talk much so Carly knew what to do when one or both wouldn't talk.
'I'll introduce you to Immy later.' Carly typed in her phone, showing it to Corey.
"Hey, you two done-" Trevor starts to say.
"You don't shut your trap, I'm throwing you into traffic!" Johnny says angrily, Carly and Corey putting their phones away. The rest of the drive was silent, everyone getting out and Michael, Franklin, Carly, Corey and Johnny getting in the Cargobob.
Carly's p.o.v
'Okay… just stay calm. Not gonna get tossed out of a chopper today.' I thought as Trevor and the submarine were caught by the crane, Trevor saying "Good thing you listened to me and took those flying lessons!" through Dad's headset.
"Carly, you and John boy owe me a new chopper!" Trevor shouts through mine and Johnny's headsets.
"Just steal another one from the FIB!" Johnny says once we're all flying towards Paleto Cove.
Once we reached the water, Trevor starts driving the submarine underwater.
"Don't stay there too long, Trevor. An ex military helicopter hovering over here is gonna raise suspicions!" Dad says.
"Disturbance reported out in Paleto Cove!" I hear in my headset but it's not Trevor's… fuck, this job is blown and we'll be blown if we don't get the hell outta here.
"T, you better find that damn thing, Merryweather are gonna be after us!" I shout into the headset, Trevor responding with "Found it, let's go!" before the crane attaches to the submarine and we fly up and away… and just as I anticipated, the alarm sounding seconds later.
"Carly Jade, get four Carbines, hand one to John boy, Frankie boy and Silent Corey and start shooting!" Trevor shouts, the four of us grabbing the guns and shooting at Merryweather boats and Buzzards… until an RPG shot at us throws me towards Corey.
Corey's p.o.v
Another RPG, are you fucking kidding me?! If that Ivory whacko that Carly told me about earlier found us, we're screwed!
Before I can react, I reach out, keeping Carly from falling as one of my arms locked around her shoulders, the other around her back as her small hands gripped onto my shoulders and Franklin glanced at us.
Is he… jealous? All I did was keep Carly from falling down.
'You okay?' I mouth to Carly, who nods. She's trying not to show how freaked out she is but she's shaking a bit… I guess she's starting to hate choppers now.
It's when we're back at the airfield that we all get out, Johnny checking on Carly now, his hand rubbing up and down her back.
"Do you know what you've done?! The wire is going fucking crazy!" We hear Lester shout as he and Wade walk over, Wade rubbing his arm… something tells me that Lester hit him with something other than the cane.
"Oh, nice to see you too. What's it been, about 10 years?!" Trevor says.
"After this, the government won't care how long it's been! They're gonna put you and everyone you ever knew on their kill list!" Lester says.
Kill list?! Trevor, you fucking idiot!
"And you-" Lester says, pointing at Michael before pointing at Carly. "-I thought you two as a father-daughter bank robbing duo would be smarter than this!" He finishes.
"What did we do?" Michael asks.
"Stealing a superweapon to sell to the Chinese!" Lester says.
Superweapon?! Fucking lunatic!
"We gotta put this thing back-" Carly says.
"No!" Trevor snaps at her. What the hell is wrong with you, Trevor?!
"Oh, so you want a drone circling your trailer?!" Lester snaps at Trevor.
"We'll get you another score, Trevor." Michael says, trying to calm Trevor down.
Why did I have to end up with a lunatic as a friend?!
'Mind if I crash with you for a few days?' I text to Carly.
'Mi casa, su casa. Now, let's get the hell away from the lunatic.' Carly texts back before we all leave in separate directions, me, Carly, Johnny, Franklin and Michael getting in an Albany Cavalcade.
The Declasse Premier Trevor chose earlier would've been too small for five people. Carly and I look behind us, seeing Trevor repeatedly bashing his own head against the wooden pallet leaned against the hangar.
Franklin's p.o.v
I'm not normally a jealous person… so why did I get aggravated when Corey was holding Carly in the Cargobob earlier?
I walk into my new home in the Vinewood Hills, grab a beer and drink it slowly before throwing the bottle away.
Maybe… my new feelings for Carly aren't as harmless as I thought.
A few seconds, Chop runs in, barking and standing on his hind legs, his front paws on my legs as I pet him.
"Hey, Chop. You ain't tearing our new home apart yet?" I say, Chop barking in response before jumping back down and running to the couch, jumping on it as I walk over and sit down, scratching Chop's ears.
Well, it's empty but at least I don't have to live with my crazy ass aunt anymore.
