Trevor screamed in pain as a knee was slammed into his back.
"Wake up, you fucking lunatic!" Skye yelled, Trevor opening his eyes as K8lynn stood up herself, walking over and pulling Trevor up to his feet.
"Where in… the hell are we?" Trevor manages to ask.
"Somewhere in the Caribbean, island or something… you didn't do pre-flight checks, did you, you idiot?!" Skye says.
"I've been using that plane for years, the fuel systems and propellers are all newly replaced… I've no idea what went wrong." Trevor says.
"Well you should be grateful to K8lynn. So that we weren't all incinerated in the crash, she got us all in the inflatable life raft and dived us out of the drop bay." Skye says, leaning against the tree and pulling a shard of glass out of her leg, blood trickling down afterwards.
"Don't you think you should've left that in?! What if you bleed out?!" Trevor asks.
"Oh, like you give a fuck. I only tagged along to make sure K8 didn't get killed!" Skye says angrily.
"I still say we should've dragged Carly along." Trevor says.
"Brainless idiot. You'd drag a woman off here when she's barely healing from the last bit of hell?" Trevor heard but it wasn't Skye or K8lynn who said that. Trevor turned, seeing a small blonde with purely violet eyes and turned enraged.
"Shut up!" Trevor screamed at her, confusing Skye and K8lynn.
"Your boyfriend's lost what's left of his mind." Skye whispers.
"Tell me about it." K8lynn says sarcastically, startling Skye a bit.
"Look… we may not get along but just as much as you two, I'd like it if we all left here alive!" Trevor says.
"So would we but… we're on a tiny, deserted island and I don't see a boat anywhere." Skye says.
"Well then we need to use what we've got at hand… in the plane, there's a kit I put together, used an old black box casing I found at the plane junkyard so it'd be hard to destroy. It's got first aid, food ration packs, an axe… we should find it." Trevor says.
"So we need to find the wreckage…" K8lynn says.
"That's about the size of things." Trevor says before the three start looking around, Trevor swimming in one direction…
It was a while before he found the wrecked plane… he climbed aboard and walked in, looking around.
"I'm half convinced Carly tampered with the plane." Trevor muttered, unaware Skye had heard him.
"It wasn't Carly… I might just believe it if it was just you in the plane, but not with me and K8lynn too. She'd never be able to forgive herself." Skye says.
"Then what the fuck happened?! I've flown countless planes, not one crash!" Trevor says.
"Well… you two keep looking for the survival kit, I'll take a look at the engines." Skye says, stepping back out of the Vestra and walking to the back, hissing in pain as she stepped on some smashed glass. She'd been so concentrated that she hadn't noticed she'd lost her shoes.
"Skye, ya alright?!" K8lynn asks.
"I'm fine, just… stepped on glass." Skye says, walking to the portside jet engine and looking into it through a gap in the casing… it looked fine, Skye thought to herself that she'd bet it could even still work. "Nothing wrong with engine 1." She says, walking around to the other side and being careful not to step on anything else sharp.
When she reached the starboard side engine, she pulled off the maintenance panel and brushed off the layer of soot which had settled on the engine… before she saw something and called for Trevor.
"What have you found?" Trevor asks, Skye pulling a severed pipe end out of the hatch.
"Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this is a coolant pipe." Skye says, Trevor looking closer at it.
"Someone's cut it off, the engine must've overheated and burnt up." Trevor says… before he looked in further into the engine and grabbed another pipe, also being damaged with a hole… but what caught his eye was the red mark on it.
"Red… looks like…" Skye says, pressing her finger to the red mark, pulling her finger back and looking at it. "It's… lipstick." She says.
"Carly usually wears nude lipstick or gloss…" Trevor says.
"I'm trying to think of who… wait… didn't Carly say something about Tracey being pissed off?" Skye says.
"You're not suggesting that… Tracey slashed the pipes?" Trevor asks.
"It's possible… I can't think of anyone else who wears red lipstick, apart from Nicole when she needs to go somewhere fancy like a big dinner party or a high end casino or something. And even you should know that she'd never take up any kind of offer to kill any of us, so Tracey's the only one that makes any sense." Skye says.
"Wait, Trace's mad at Carly, not me! Why take it out on us?!" Trevor says.
"Tracey's an unpredictable bitch, T… she never thinks things through, does what she feels like and acts on impulse. But if you want an answer less like that, then… how would Carly feel if we all turned up dead?" Skye says.
"Heartbroken." K8lynn says.
"Maybe for you two." Trevor says bitterly, Skye slapping him upside the head. "You hit me!" He exclaimed.
"You really think she cares that little about you?! She just wants you to stop trying to be such a dictator towards her, if you died she'd feel as bad as if anyone else died!... shows how much you think of her though, doesn't it?!" Skye says.
"Aw, he's suffering from dehydration and delusions." Trevor hears the girl he saw earlier say and turns angry again.
"Shut up, you fucking mistake!" Trevor yells, making Skye and K8lynn slap him upside his head.
Meanwhile…
"Open up!" Sam yells, banging on the door of the Klebitz house. The door opened, Nicole on the other side. "Where is Carly?" She asks.
"Trying to stay as calm as she can… Sam, I don't think she'd want to talk to you right now." Nicole says.
"Why? Because Trevor, K8lynn and Skye all disappeared in a supposed plane crash?" Sam asks.
"You went off on her and blamed her for it, you hurt your best friend!" Nicole says.
"I was scared… I am scared." Sam says.
"Did you find out anything else?" Nicole asks, Sam hearing quiet footsteps in the hallway before they stopped.
"Tracey admitted to sabotaging the plane." Sam says after walking in, Carly walking over to them.
"Why would she attack Trevor? She still thinks of him as Uncle T." Carly says as Nicole closes the door.
"Maybe because… not Trevor, but K8lynn and Skye… they die, we all rip apart." Sam says, going quiet for a few moments. "Carly… I'm sorry, I just…" She says before instead of finding the words, she wrapped her arms around Carly, pulling her into a hug.
"I'm scared for them too, Sam… I just… we were starting to get to some sort of understanding, Trevor and I. Being on that island made me miss him like crazy." Carly says, Sam absentmindedly playing with a strand of Carly's hair, which was still in a ponytail. The two let go, both hearing something in the kitchen cupboard and Nicole going and dragging Lex out.
"Easy, Colour Wheel! I was just looking for a place to hide!" Lex says.
"Colour Wheel isn't my main name anymore, Lex. TYOS." Nicole says.
"And… TYOS means what?" Lex asks.
"Recruit me and you'll find out." Nicole says, Lex working out that it was another way of saying that the name was business and work only.
"Why were… you putting barb wire on the fence?" Sam asks as Johnny and Jack walk back in.
"Jake and Tommy like to climb that damn thing." Jack says, Carly and Johnny sitting down.
Worry was all too common to Carly... she really hoped that they would make it back alive.
