Carly woke up to find it was nighttime and heard Dash and Packie talking but couldn't understand what they were saying, still half asleep.
It was when she heard Packie say "Take down Hoyt? Dash, this isn't our fight." that Carly woke up completely and nudged Johnny, who opened his eyes.
"What is it, sugar?" Johnny asks. Carly turned over and whispers to him what she heard Dash and Packie saying, Johnny's eyes widening. The two sat up, Dash walking over to them.
"It needs to be done and over with, you two. Vaas wasn't always a psycho, he was a good person once. Hoyt's the true monster and he has to be dealt with before he kills everyone in his path." Dash says, Carly glancing at Jimmy, Dennis and Daisy.
"Carly?" Jimmy says, him, Dennis and Daisy walking over to her, Johnny and Dash.
"We're gonna try to find a boat big enough for all of us so we can leave this island." Dennis says.
"Dennis... are you sure you want to leave? This... this is where you grew up, this is your home." Carly says as Packie walks over to them.
"This island was my home before Vaas, Hoyt and Buck turned it into hell on earth... I don't want to stick around here anymore. But I agree with Dash, we need to get rid of Hoyt first." Dennis says, Carly now noticing how quiet that Rock Island was now... disturbingly quiet.
The group left, stopping by the gun store and stocking up on what weapons were left, Carly looking a bit nervous when she saw Jimmy holding an AP pistol.
"It's time I help out, no more hiding." Jimmy says, Carly examining her Combat Shotgun after hiding a machete in her shorts pocket, the hunting knife hidden in a knife holder strapped onto her back.
"Just be careful with that thing, James." Carly says before the group left, heading in the direction of the prison camp, where Hoyt was hiding.
It was just Hoyt... all of the pirates were dead, Vaas was dead and Buck was dead. Hoyt was alone... but not unarmed. He had a hunting knife, Machete, Combat Pistol, AP pistol and Combat Shotgun... he knew that they were out there.
The eerie silence of the night did unnerve Hoyt a bit... he had no idea where the group was gonna attack from. Hoyt jumped back as a brick was thrown through the window, him walking towards it... and immediately being stabbed by Carly, Hoyt screaming when Carly dragged him out with the hunting knife.
"Did I ever tell you... that you're a crazy bastard with nothing better to do than fuck innocent lives up?! And you don't even stop there, you sell them into slavery, kill them when you don't get the money and... torture them until they break. You want the real definition of insanity, Hoyt Volker?! You're it!" Carly says before pulling the large hunting knife out.
Hoyt managed to stand up... only to fall to his hands and knees after being shot in the back by Jimmy, Packie, Johnny, Dash, Daisy and Dennis, three bullets hitting Hoyt's spinal cord. He couldn't stand back up, all feeling in his legs was gone. Carly grabbed her AP pistol and pressed it against Hoyt's head as the five emerged from the shadows.
"Do you think you'll be free... by doing this?! I'll be the monster that haunts you when you're sleeping, the one you can never truly escape... all of you will never have any peace of mind when you get back home! So kill me! END ME THEN!" Hoyt says, shouting the last part.
Carly pulled back... pressing the gun against the left side of Hoyt's head and pulled the trigger, Hoyt's dead body falling to the ground.
"You should've been put out of your misery a long time ago, Hoyt. Rot in hell." Carly says quietly. Yeah, Hoyt had tortured countless innocent people and killed them but Carly, like every other time she's killed someone, felt empty.
Carly looked up when she felt Johnny's hand grip hers, switching the safety of the AP pistol back on before putting it in her shorts pocket and hugging Johnny before the two kiss. Carly grabbed the hunting knife before she, Johnny and the others left, reaching the boat and getting on it, Carly rinsing the blood off of the knife before Dennis drove the boat away from Rock Island.
Carly glanced back at the island, wondering what it was like before Vaas, Hoyt and Buck began their reign of terror... she briefly imagined it being a peaceful place and that everyone on it was never too busy to help a fellow civilian who had gotten in trouble. Once the island faded out of her view, Carly looked back at the others as she saw where Dennis was heading towards... Thailand.
"We're gonna stop here for a bit, rest up and eat before heading towards the airport and going home." Dennis says once they reached the docks and got off the boat, Daisy looking at Carly.
"Are you okay there, kiddo?" Daisy asks, feeling a bit of a protective instinct towards the younger woman.
"It's all over with... we all have to keep going on." Carly says before the two hug. The group reached the nearest restaurant and walked in, one of the waiters approaching them and Dennis explaining what had happened, the waiter immediately escorting the group to a table.
After eating, everyone exited the restaurant, Carly looking up and seeing the sun rising... she and everyone else watched it for a few minutes, having thought they would've died on that island.
"Let's go... hopefully, we can start over." Dennis says before him and everyone else headed to the airport.
It was well into the next day before the plane reached Los Santos International Airport, everyone getting off of it and looking around. They didn't have to wait too long before hearing the engines of Michael's Obey Tailgater and Trevor's Bodhi nearby, both vehicles screeching to a stop and Carly and Jimmy running to their dad, hugging him before Jimmy and Trevor hugged.
Carly and Michael let go, Carly and Trevor looking at each other... Johnny instinctively gripped his gun when he saw Trevor approach Carly, thinking Trevor was gonna hurt her... until Trevor wrapped his arms around Carly, who immediately returned the hug.
"You... had me scared to death, babydoll." Trevor says as they let go. "Now where are these fuckers that hurt you and everyone else?" He asks.
"They're dead, Trevor... and before you start irrationally blaming Johnny for the vacation from hell, let me say this. The only ones at fault for the madness that happened on Rock Island are Vaas, Hoyt and Buck and they're exactly where they belong now, trapped in hell." Carly says, Trevor nodding. "Now I'm gonna go home with my husband... and we don't want to be bothered or barged in on. Okay?" She says.
"Okay." Trevor says before Carly walks over to Johnny and the two got into a cab and left.
Carly and Johnny reached their home in Chumash, heading into their bedroom.
"It feels so damn good to be home." Carly says as Johnny wraps his arms around her waist and kisses her, Carly leaning against him.
"Trevor caused us a lot of hell and this doesn't excuse what he did but-" Johnny says.
"He never kept us hostage in a prison camp, tortured us and tried to sell us into slavery... Vaas, Hoyt and Buck make Trevor... almost seem sane." Carly says as she turns around, resting her hands on Johnny's arms and standing up on her tip toes to kiss him. "Now before we left San Andreas... what was that you said about wanting to start off a new life together?" She says before the two kiss, pulling off their clothes and heading towards the shower.
