3 DAYS LATER:
Just outside Los Santos hospital:
Michael, Franklin, Trevor and Sally all met with Johnny and them shortly after they finally got back to Los Santos.
"Oh Trevor.. I never thought I would actually be HAPPY to see your face" Johnny said.
"Hey, no need for sarcasm" Trevor groaned.
"No, I'm serious" Johnny replied.
"... Are you high?" Trevor asked, confused by this new behavior.
"Can't you just take the compliment?" Johnny joked.
Trevor didn't reply.
"Wait.. Where's Carly and Packie?" Michael asked.
"Yeah.. And where's Dash for that matter?" Franklin asked.
"Well.. Dash needed to be alone for awhile, after hearing about Carly and Packie" Johnny admitted.
"Yeah.. Dash is pretty upset" Daisy added.
"Why?.. What the hell did Vaas do to them!?" Michael cried. Getting more worried.
"It wasn't Vaas.. It was another guy.. Hoyt.. Who was actually wo-"
"Look, you can tell me about this Hoyt guy, later.. Just tell me.. Where are they!?" Michael cried.
Johnny sighed sadly.
"Well.. Carly got her finger cut off, along with having been forced to torture Jimmy.. Long story.. Tell you later.. She's in the hospital, but she's gonna be fine... And Packie... Packie didn't make it" Johnny said sadly.
Michael was heartbroken. His best friend, dead.
The others were saddened two. Even Trevor.
"Oh no.. Oh fuck no" Michael said quitely, and had to sit down on a nearby bench.
"But.. How?" Franklin asked.
"Carly won't talk about it. And Jimmy doesn't know anything else about it.. All Jimmy got out of her was that Hoyt outsmarted her, he knew her plan" Johnny said.
"I.. I see" Michael said.
"I -Is Carly awake?" he added.
"Not sure" Johnny admitted.
"Let me check" Michael said, heading into the hospital.
Sally found Dash alone at her house, being one of the few times she actually uses a joint of Marijuana. And considering all that happened, who wouldn't.
"Hey sis.. I heard your kinda upset" Sally said.
"I don't wanna talk about it.. Please leave me alone" Dash said, trying to get the lighter off child block.
"Well, clearly there must be better ways to deal with it" Sally said, stealing away the lighter.
"... Packie's dead.. Okay" Dash said, tearfully.
Sally hugged her.
"I know, Jimmy told me" Sally said softly.
"Do you know how it happened?" Sally asked.
"Dose it matter?" Dash tearfully said, still hugging her tightly.
"I suppose your right.. But you still got me and your new husband, Niko" Sally insisted.
"I know.. But.. Bu-"
"Shhh.. Your move on from this Dashie.. I'm sure it's what Packie would of wanted." Sally said, finally pulling away from the hug.
"Do you know how it happened?" Michael asked Carly.
"What? My finger? Or Packie?" Carly asked.
"... Both" Michael replied.
"Well.. Funny you should ask it that way.. The two events are pretty similar" Carly said, chuckling a bit.
Michael didn't responde.
"We were working with this CIA guy wh-"
"CIA!?.. Carly, Carly.. After all I taught you" Michael joked.
"I know, but Willis Hudson isn't like the others.. He's more like Dave Norton, a nice cop.. In fact.. He mentioned that actually 'knows' Davey" Carly replied.
"I see" Michael replied.
"But anyway, not important.. I'll tell about the rest, but we're be here for hours.. But long story short.. After I killed Vaas.. I realized Hoyt was the one that might be the REAL threat.. He caused Vaas to go insane. And, much other things.. Anyway.. Packie and I disguised ourselves as some of Hoyt's men.. But appearently, Hoyt knew it was us, and was only playing along.. Probably why he told me to torture Jimmy" Carly said sadly.
"Yeah.. Jimmy mentioned that" Michael replied.
"Hoyt, pretending to be impressed with what I did to Jimmy. Invited me and Packie to a poker game... But.. That's when it all went to hell" Carly said sadly.
Michael put his arm on her shoulder, asking what happened.
After a long pause, Carly finally told him.
"Packie had a plan to kill Hoyt with a hidden knife.. But Hoyt saw it coming, and he stabbed Packie though the neck, killing him. Before cutting off my finger shortly after.. All while bragging about outsmarting us" Carly admitted.
"D -Did you kill him?" Michael asked.
"Yes.. Guess Hoyt decided it'll more satisfying, to kill me in a knife fight.. But.. Obviously I won.. But I do admit.. Hoyt went out fighting. I almost respect that" Carly admitted.
"I know the type" Michael replied, remembering David Erics.
