A/N: This slightly references chapter nine of a story called American Dollar, written by Shadow Knight 1121.

Galileo Observatory…

Carly froze in place as she looked across the courtyard, thinking that she saw a slightly older version of herself. The older one was talking to someone before the mystery person handed her a slip of paper and left.

It was then that the older Carly was grabbed from behind by a masked person, fighting back before being knocked out and dragged away.

"Carly?" Johnny says, lightly shaking her and snapping her out of it, Carly blinking her bluish violet eyes. It turned out what she thought was herself being kidnapped was actually a woman about the same age as Tracey talking to someone before they both left together.

"Maybe Trevor rattled me more than I thought when he threw me into the office." Carly says, thinking that she was still shaken from what Trevor did. The two had left the Lost MC clubhouse to get some fresh air and seeing as how it was late September in Los Santos, it was actually nice enough to be outside, the temperature being a comfortable 76°.

Carly leaned against Johnny, who noticed the tense look on her face. Whatever she saw freaked her out and Johnny wrapped his arms around her, trying to comfort her. The only time he had seen that look on Carly's face was after a nightmare or when she remembered something from before the car crash that shattered most of her childhood memories. It was after the car crash and subsequent hospital shooting that led to Carly pulling the stitches out, which turned out to be a reaction to the trauma and stress from Amanda turning abusive towards her.

Carly eventually calmed down and looked out towards the city. She liked coming out here, being away from the noise and chaos calmed her down. Whoever was or would try to kidnap her, Carly hoped that she'd never run into them.

They seemed even crazier than Trevor, Ivory or Samuel.

Carly's phone buzzed, her seeing a text from Jackie.

'Got your number from Tracey, she says you've been quiet these past few days.'

'Family drives me nuts sometimes, I usually crash with Johnny at the Lost MC campground. Oh and what's this I heard about Adam being shot by Trevor?!' Carly replies, having checked on Adam earlier. Luckily, it was only a flesh wound and Adam's right arm was fractured instead of completely broken.

'Sorry about that, Trevor's a loose cannon at times and so am I, which is why I got the nickname Straitjacket Jackie.' Jackie replies.

"Straitjacket Jackie?! She's the one who helped you out when Trevor went and tossed you into the office?!" Johnny asks.

"Yeah… Samuel's sister… I know you didn't mean to kill him but…" Carly says.

"He was hurting you, had you pinned up against the wall… I flashed back to Gionna being attacked when she was 13 and I snapped." Johnny says, seeing the visible scar on Carly's shoulder left by Samuel's knife. In some ways, Carly reminded Johnny of Gionna, both having felt like they lost their innocence when they were too young.

Carly and Johnny's heads snapped up when they heard the roaring engine of what they thought was Trevor's Bodhi but upon a closer look, it was a different Canis Bodhi, much cleaner than Trevor's and the driver looked like they were blowing off some steam, probably from the frustrating day they were having to deal with.

"Come on. Let's head on back to the campground." Johnny says, him and Carly heading back to the blue and white Hexer, getting on it and speeding off.

At that time, Jackie had gotten dressed into a pair of skinny jeans, sandals and a racerback tank top after putting on some makeup and grabbed the keys to her Cavalcade, deciding to go get a cup of coffee from Bean Machine. She also intemded on talking to Trevor and making sure that he backs off of Carly.

Jackie's P.O.V, Vanilla Unicorn…

Throwing my empty coffee cup into a trash can after I walk into the strip club, I walk over to Juliet, asking if she had seen Trevor.

"Back office, as usual. Just got back from the hospital." Juliet says… hospital?! Michael De Santa, what the fuck did you do?!

Acting on impulse, I rush to the office and run in, seeing Trevor putting an ice pack on his face. I'm not one to think this about someone who's supposed to be my boss but he damn well had it coming for attacking Carly yesterday.

"I thought you had the day off!" Trevor says bitterly.

"That means I can't check on my boss?! Sorry I did after you went batshit crazy and attacked someone half your fucking size!" I say, the first part sarcastic and the second part bitterly.

"Much like your brother attacked someone half his sized before he was murdered-" Trevor says before I cut him off by punching him right in the face, breaking his nose and knocking some teeth out.

"You bring up my brother again, I'll fucking kill you a whole hell of a lot worse than you killed my old boss!" I yell before turning to leave, kicking the door open and storming out.

"Feel free to come back to work when you're done being pissed!" Trevor yells.

"That might be a fucking while, you psychotic asshole!" I shout back before storming out, getting in my Cavalcade and shoving the keys in the ignition before starting the engine and driving off.

I've had it… I've had enough of Trevor Philips and if it's not me, I hope someone puts that miserable, psycho bastard out of everyone's misery for good.

Carly didn't deserve any of the hell she's gotten. Not from Trevor and as much as it hurts to say this, not from Samuel.

I saw the scar on her shoulder, it matches the knife pattern of the knife Samuel kept with him. I loved my brother… but I just wish he had never attacked Carly.
