Mcreary house, next morning…

"Now you're sure you'll be able to run? Packie told me about what happened in LS." Niko says as Carly checks her AP pistol and Carbine Rifle.

"I'll be alright." Carly says, Niko nodding and walking over to Dash. Johnny snuck up behind Carly, handing her the switchblade she left behind at the Majestic hotel. "Don't want to forget that." She says, putting it in her left skinny jeans pocket.

Carly's hair was pulled into a messy bun, the hem of her leather jacket falling just past her hips. She was damn determined to deal with Steve Erics's gang and hoped that Gordon followed through on his promise to help her and everyone else get rid of the Alturist cult.

Some of the bodies of the cult were buried out in Paleto Bay while the others were thrown into the Alamo Sea, Zancudo River and out of Pier 400… inadvertently, the ones thrown into the Alamo Sea ended up floating into Whetstone, Flint County and Easter Bay Airport.

"The residents in Red County, Flint County and San Fierro were in for a shock this morning when several bodies believed to been part of a cannibalistic cult washed up on shore. No claims of the bodies have been made yet-" The news reporter says before Dash shut the TV off, shocked.

"Carly, you wouldn't happen to know anything about this. Would you?" Dash says after Carly walked into the living room.

"About what?" Carly asks.

"The cult that killed Connor and tried to kill you… some of them are dead." Dash says, startling Carly.

'Damn it, Dad! What the hell did you do?!' Carly thought, Dash nudging her and snapping her out of it.

"Are you alright?" Dash asks.

"Yeah… just trying to keep my mind on the job. Don't want to end up stabbed like Gordon." Carly says, Dash laughing a bit.

"I can hear you talking, tiny ones!" Gordon shouts from the other room.

Carly shook those thoughts away as Johnny wrapped his arms around her shoulders and kissed her on her forehead, Carly closing her eyes for a split second.

The door opened again as Michael, Trevor, Franklin and Adam walked in, Michael wearing a suit like he normally did, Dash saying "Haha… you're always wearing such a nice suit, Tony Stark."

That was followed up by Trevor saying to Johnny "Get your fucking hands off of her!" and Carly flipping Trevor off.

"See, Gordo? She's not subtle." Dash says.

"I'd ask John boy what I asked Niko-" Gordon says, keeping his voice low.

"But you'll most likely get shot instead of stabbed… and Tracey would be more likely to-" Dash says, whispering the last part so Michael and Trevor don't hear her.

"I don't want him near Carly! I don't like bikers!" Trevor shouts.

The next thing to follow was Carly walking over to Trevor, her switchblade barely an inch from Trevor's neck and startling him and everyone else.

Adam tried to step forward but Carly lifted her left foot, slamming it into Adam's ribs and knocking him down.

"Three options, Trevor! Sliced neck, cracked ribs or shutting your fucking mouth! When we left LS, we left our current grievances behind for now!" Carly yelled furiously.

Trevor nodded, backing away as Carly folded her switchblade and walked back to Johnny as Dash walked to Niko.

"Okay… didn't think she'd do that." Dash says.

"Loss affects everyone differently… hell, I expected her to snap Trevor's neck, not threaten him with a knife." Niko says, having seen the names carved into the switchblade earlier.

Carly and Trevor's bond had definitely deteriorated since Trevor turned up back in Carly's life.

Carly's p.o.v

I don't normally threaten people with knives but something snapped in my mind when Trevor said what he did.

Yes, Johnny and I are close, we have been since we met. Trevor doesn't have too many friends who aren't reluctant to be friends… he kidnapped Patricia Madrazo for fuck's sake, the woman didn't even do anything to him!

And yet, in the twisted events following that, they fell in love… then Trevor has the damn nerve to turn around and tell me who I can't be around?!

Okay, Carly… calm down. Mind on the job, Steve Erics's gang, then the Altruist cult… I hope Gordon doesn't try anything stupid, I'm actually starting to like him as a business associate.

Possibly as a friend so long as he keeps his mind out of the gutter.

"Let's go find these assholes!" Niko says before we all leave, Adam limping a bit.

I hope I didn't hurt him too badly… sometimes, I tend to do crazy things when things gets crazy.

If I were in my right mind, I wouldn't have threatened Trevor.
