Lex groaned after hearing a knock at the clubhouse door and turned to Carly.
"Tiny, be a doll and go tell whoever it is to kindly fuck off." Lex says, Carly getting off the bar itself and heading to the door. Part of her expected it to be Trevor but when she did open the door, a girl of about her age and height was outside.
"Uh… hi, who are you?" Carly says, a bit startled to see that the girl's right eye had two pupils.
"My name's K8lynn… I'm looking for Trevor." The girl says, Carly tensing up slightly.
"Tied up in his strip club… and I honestly think you need to get the full truth from him. He damn near killed me and two of my friends by ramming his truck into our car." Carly says, K8lynn seeing the brace on Carly's left ankle.
"Well knowing him, he won't tell me the same as you… not exactly lie but he'll leave bits out and add bits in to shift things." K8lynn says.
"Sounds like him… he just needs to be honest for once, a little honesty wouldn't kill him." Carly says, K8lynn chuckling slightly.
K8lynn and Carly left with Noah and Johnny tagging along and found Trevor where Ashley and Jackie had left him, Carly ripping the tape off of Trevor's mouth in an aggressive manner.
"K8… whatever she's said-" Trevor starts to say.
"Whatever she's said, you know you're saying that because you don't want the truth out because it blames you! What's the lie this time, that they hit the brakes and slammed into you?! Does that explain her ankle brace?!" K8lynn says.
"It's not broken but the old pin in it was and not from the crash! And honestly, how the hell is that a serious injury?!" Trevor says.
"As opposed to being shot by Ivory and stabbed by a drugged up kid you were supplying drugs to because Johnny cut him off?!" Carly asks rhetorically, Trevor glaring at her. "Yes, I know it was you who was keeping Jackie's brother high when he was trying to stay clean!" She says, Trevor trying to lunge at her but K8lynn and Noah stopping him.
"Trevor? She wants a straight answer, I suggest you give it to her." Noah says threateningly, Trevor turning angrier.
"Why the fuck should I?! She's gone and lied to me!" Trevor yells.
"I kept Brad's death a secret for almost 10 years because of how you reacted! You didn't even try to help him, you shouted "Run, it's the fucking feds! Someone must've fucking talked!" and then hid and ran off. Yeah, Dad told you to but you showed no loyalty and then what do you nearly a decade later?! Turn around and shove the blame off on me for the fucking bank job!" Carly says.
"Is that why he was missing for nearly a day?" K8lynn asks.
"I thought that if he didn't kill me, he'd let the triads do it and not give a rat's ass." Carly says.
"You were gonna let them kill her?! What did you expect her to do, open up an old wound to make yourself feel like you couldn't possibly be blamed?!" Johnny asks, Trevor turning enraged.
"Why would I want my own niece dead?!" Trevor yells, turning to K8lynn. "You believe this bullshit from them?!" He demands.
"It's a lot better than the weak lies you've told me! So yes, I believe this 'bullshit'!" K8lynn shouts.
"What's the real reason you didn't want the truth about Ashley being Brad's child to be out?! Or why you don't want Carly anywhere near Johnny when he actually protects her?! Admit it!" Noah says.
"No… I'm not saying anything about it. Now just let me go… because you want a threat? When I eventually get out, if it's not by you yourselves, there's a nice little spot called the police station where I'll be going first… every single one of you would be doing so much time behind bars and you know it." Trevor says.
"Spineless fucker." Carly says, Trevor glaring at her as if he couldn't believe what she called him.
"Truthful fucker, Carly… you know the legal penalty for what you're all doing and where it will get you and if you don't let me free right now, I'll damn well make sure that it's exactly where you'll end up! See if you're everyone's perfect little stud when you're in the orange jumpsuit behind bars!" Trevor says.
"And what about the three counts of attempted murder you committed earlier?" K8lynn asks after reluctantly cutting the ropes.
"I could ask the same about the way worse counts of bank robberies, murders, assaults and thefts that Michael committed before his little deal with the cops. You should all know already that I'm only one man… if I gave them everything to catch all of you for all the crimes you've all done, they'd even clean my shoes as they let me walk free." Trevor says.
"So you'd throw your little fuck buddy under the bus?! You really are a hypocritical bastard!" Carly says, Trevor grabbing her by her tank top and Johnny throwing Trevor against the wall.
"How much do you think you'll get for assaulting a minor, Trevor?!" Johnny growls.
"What about you… for your list of crimes? I turn you in, everything you've done will be compiled into one case. You'll do life and you know it!... you wanted me a danger to you all, well you've got exactly that because I'll bring your worlds to the ground with just a few words!" Trevor says.
The lights went out seconds later and a few screams were heard followed by footsteps running before the lights were back on, Johnny helping Carly up and Noah helping K8lynn up as all looked at an unconscious Trevor.
"Damn… that could've been anyone." Carly says before they all leave.
Trevor's P.O.V
"Argh…" I growl after regaining consciousness… and seeing a note in familiar handwriting… eerily familiar.
'That's right, I know where to hit you to knock you out and for how long. Long time, no see.'
"Fucking hell!" I yell after standing up… and seeing… oh damn. "You!" I shout at Juana.
"Well done, I'm impressed that you remember me." Juana says while slowly clapping.
"Why the fuck did you ambush me?!" I yell.
"Keeping you from hurting that little lady, of course. You refused to be honest, why should she trust anything you say?" Juana says.
"You don't know anything about that traitorous little bitch!" I say.
"So that wasn't your truck slamming into the car she was in, trying to murder her and her friends eerily similar to how you tried to kill me?!" Juana asks sarcastically.
"She betrayed me!" I yell.
"How?! She and Johnny aren't screwing around, he's got more sense than to do that!" Juana shouts.
Carly's P.O.V
"Ah, I see you're still tied up." I say after walking downstairs into the LS Hunterz basement to see Ivory conscious again… and looking… happy to see me?
"You're not like those maniacs… you'll let me go." Ivory says.
"Really? And why would I do that, are you gonna blackmail me into doing so? Threaten to have us put behind bars?" I ask sarcastically.
"Noah's former boss knows who you are." Ivory says.
"Noah's former boss knows fuck all about me… he wouldn't take the time to." I say.
"No… but he took the time to listen to me." Ivory says.
The axe nearby catches my attention… and Ivory sees the mischievous gleam in my eyes as I pick it up.
"Compared to most criminals, you and Bruce are small time." I say, Ivory looking slightly offended.
"Well I can't speak for Bruce… but I wouldn't call myself a criminal, I just don't let the law limit me. My own limits are the only ones that apply." Ivory says.
"By shooting me and Sam… slamming a crowbar into my head, trying to kill your younger brother… oh, hello there. Join in on the fun?" I say as Jack walks downstairs, the two of us hugging.
"Jack… don't-" Ivory says, Jack slamming his fist into Ivory's face.
Normal P.O.V
"Admit it, Ivory… you and Trevor are working together." Jack says after Carly leaves.
"What gave you that impression?" Ivory asks.
"Well… you were working together. That went out the window the second you shot Sam." Jack says.
"Well, yeah… but that was the last time we even looked at each other neutrally, let alone worked together." Ivory says.
"So the recent ambush at the warehouse had nothing to do with you or the lunatic?" Jack asks sarcastically.
"With me, not him." Ivory says.
Upstairs, Carly decided to walk outside… and was immediately grabbed by Juana, who clamped her right hand over Carly's mouth but not in a threatening manner.
"Who are you?" Carly asks, despite it being quieted by Juana's hand… and Juana noticed the scar on Carly's forehead, dropping her hand.
"I'll be damned… you don't remember, do you?" Juana says.
"Childhood's scattered… two head injuries within a three year span." Carly says.
"Trust me, I know how you feel… well, I'm Juana… sort of an ex partner of Trevor's." Juana says.
"You're not… here to take his side, are you?" Carly asks, Juana quick to react.
"Good god, no. Why would I take the side of someone who got me pregnant while we were drunk, though it didn't end up being such a bad thing, but then three years later beat me so bad I was in an induced coma to recover?" Juana says.
"Late 2001… Trevor was bragging about it in March 2002, to Brad of all people. His exact words were "Why would anyone care that I nearly killed some stupid slut when she deserved it?!". Wouldn't surprise me because he also glossed over that he basically kidnapped Ashley, ran out on her, ended up trying to kill one of his own kids, abandoned one in the desert and stabbed an innocent woman to death right in front of her three year old daughter. And yet, I got blamed for taking part in covering up a nearly decade old bank job and not telling him Brad was dead. How was I supposed to when Trevor was having the time of his life in Europe?" Carly says… unaware that Trevor was nearby until Trevor stormed over to them. "I know what happened over there… I did learn a thing or two from a few people, I just wanted you to actually admit why you're fucking deranged." She says.
"No surprise he didn't. In his mind, he's the sane one and everyone else is the problem." Juana says.
"They are the problem!" Trevor yells.
"Why don't you just do what you do best and run out of our lives again? You had no problem doing that before." Carly says.
"You only say that because you know I won't… at least that's what you think. If we don't settle things soon, leave is exactly what I'll do." Trevor says.
"How can you settle things if all you do is threaten her, me and use "Protecting her!" as an excuse to commit massive acts of insanity to anyone she cares about?!" Johnny asks after walking outside.
"Massive acts of insanity?!" Trevor yells.
"You slammed a damn shovel into Tyler's back and nearly broke his spine because he and I were hugging! And that was just a day after you barged back into my life, you consider that sane?! You could've killed him!" Carly shouts, Trevor trying to punch her but Carly catching his fist. "You think I'm putting up with abuse from you, then you never were Uncle T!" She says, Trevor yanking his fist out of Carly's grip.
Trevor left, his phone ringing.
"Hey, Uncle T. Want to hang out?" Jimmy says.
"Love to, I'll meet up with you!" Trevor says before hanging up and driving towards the De Santa house...
