Johnny's p.o.v, the next morning
"Take it easy, Jason. Mommy's still sleeping." I say softly, resting my hand against Carly's stomach. Jason's kicking usually wakes Carly up but she's sound asleep.
"He's hungry...and so am I." Carly says as she opens her eyes.
"What sounds good for breakfast?" I ask.
"Grilled cheese sandwich, chocolate chip pancakes and strawberries." Carly says, smiling.
"That sounds like the old Carly." I say, holding her close to me.
"The old Carly used to snack on cinnamon pretzels and chicken eggrolls while watching Vinewood Zombie. I've always had a weird appetite, Johnny." Carly says.
"The old Carly was without all this worry but for today, let's try and live normal." I say. Even if we're in a cabin on the other side of the state, we can at least have a day without guns, screams and threats.
"Normal sounds great.'' Carly says before we kiss. Trevor can't be anywhere near us again. Last night could've gone horribly wrong.
Meanwhile (Blaine County police station lockup, Trevor's p.o.v)
Carly... what happened to the days when you were innocent?
You grew up when I wasn't around... that's Michael's fault though, not yours. You aren't little Carly Townley anymore or De Santa... you're Carly Klebitz.
You're Johnny's wife and you two have created a child... you can't be that little girl anymore.
Why? Why did you fall in love with him? Why did you let him get you pregnant?!
And why did Junior and Benson protect Sam? They'd have arrested her unless You better be kidding! If Junior's fucking Sam, so help me I will rip his throat out!
"Visiting hours ain't over, Philips! This guy ain't going away anytime soon!" The guard says, leading Michael over to me.
Oh, fuck... he's pissed off!
"Carly told me exactly what you did, you fuck!" Michael says in a serious, angered tone.
This is Michael Townley! How he should be!
"How about you then Townley? Oh, guard! You like to arrest Mr Townley here?!" I shout, the guard shrugging and Michael looking more annoyed.
"Okay, let me put it this way. Why the hell did you nearly kill Carly and Johnny's son, my grandson?!" Michael shouts.
"Why did you let your daughter get knocked up by a biker twice her age?!
Where were you when they started fucking each other like rabbits?!" I yell at Michael.
"They're married, they're starting a family! Carly's always going to be my little girl but she's not a child anymore!" Michael yells.
"Well maybe you should tell them both that when I get out, I'm going to start sliding knives into Carly's stomach!" I say, picturing a knife going in that abomination of a kid Carly's carrying.
"You're never getting out. Two counts of attempted murder with special circumstances... even you can't beat that, Trevor." Michael says before walking away. When they dragged me in here, they said I was being charged with aggravated assault.
What the fuck happened?!
Elstone Ranch, an hour later...
"Let's just say I raised his charges." Benson says before taking another sip from his Sprunk. As old as he was, he still liked a fizzy drink every now and then.
"How? You still have some friends in the District Attorney's office?" Carly says, finishing her bottle of water.
"I was sheriff of this county and half of this state for nineteen years, little lady. I still have some influence." Benson says.
"Well I think you were very kind to do that, with what me and Junior are pla... forget that last bit."Sam says, regretting saying the last part.
Carly threw the empty water bottle away, her face a mix of emotions. Yeah, she was happy that Trevor is in jail but it's Trevor, Carly knew he would find some way to escape.
Johnny puts his arms around Carly and Carly rests her head on Johnny's shoulder. Trevor tried to kill their son several times, the first time being the incident at the Del Perro Pier.
"Wait a second... you were about to mention a plan." Carly says as Sam gets up, heading for the door to go to her cabin.
"It doesn't matter right now." Sam says before disappearing out of the door, Benson shrugging his shoulders.
"Don't ask me. Benson says before screwing the cap back on his Dr. Pepper, heading for the door.
Del Perro Pier, 2 months earlier...
"Trevor... you're drunk, you need to go sleep it off." Carly says. Any other time, she would've hit him but this time was too dangerous.
She had been around Trevor when he was drunk before but he was never violent while the booze is in his here he was threatening her, Johnny and their baby with a K Bar knife.
"You're not having a kid! Not on my watch!" Trevor shouts before moving the knife forward. Johnny had been ready for it and grabbed Trevor's hand holding the knife, twisting the knife out and using the other hand to slam a fist into Trevor's temple. Trevor eventually got the better of Johnny, punching and kicking him.
"Trevor, get the hell off of him!" Carly shouts, trying to pull Trevor off of Johnny. Carly was smaller than Trevor but she wasn't going to let Trevor kill Johnny.
Trevor grabbed Carly's arm... and threw her down the stairs, her scream cut off by her hitting the back of her head on the pier. Johnny had seen it, his rage turning to horror as he shoves Trevor down.
"Carly?! Carly, baby can you hear me?! Carly?!" Niko and Packie heard Johnny yelling and saw him run down the stairs to help Carly.
The two of them had seen the last part of the fight and Packie charged at Trevor, punching him.
"Oh, you little fuck!" Packie shouts as he wrestles Trevor to the ground, Niko getting his phone out.
"We need an ambulance, a pregnant woman just got pushed down the stairs at Del Perro pier!" Niko says into his phone.
Johnny brushes Carly's hair out of her face, trying to wake her up. Trevor could've killed both Carly and the baby... why?!
Because he still sees Carly as a little kid?!
Present time...
"I wish I was kidding. Billy dared Gionna to climb up the tree and she did." Johnny says, putting his arm around Carly.
"So that's two idiots called Billy." Carly says. "I climbed up a tree once when I was five. Jimmy got stuck up there but when we got out of the tree, I fell and broke my left ankle in two places." She says.
"We're all stupid sometimes. Others are just stupid altogether." Johnny says, referring to Trevor.
"Yeah some are. Those some usually deserve to have their genitals in a cup in front of them." Carly says. "Trevor's not going to stay in jail forever... what do we do when he breaks out?" She says, worried.
"I guess we'd have to find a safehouse or something. Not to worry now though." Johnny says, sitting on the bed next to Carly. The problem with the hut was that the bed was pretty much all there was. There were three rooms. The bedroom, bathroom and a storage cupboard. No living room or anything, just a room with a double bed, a TV and a wardrobe.
Carly was about to talk but her phone starts ringing.
"I was wondering when you'd answer your phone! I know about what happened yesterday!" Packie says after Carly answers her phone.
"Yeah, he was crazier than usual." Carly says.
"Sure sounds like it, holding a fucking knife to your stomach, what the hell was he thinking?!" Packie says.
"Trying to kill little Jason is what Trevor was thinking. Trevor needs to be locked up, either in a maximum security prison or a psych ward." Carly says.
This was insanity because Trevor loved Carly like his own when Carly was younger. She still couldn't believe this.
"He hates Johnny. Now that I'm a Klebitz, he hates me too." Carly says. Inside, she knew it wasn t as simple as that. It never was with Trevor.
"Well I guess since he's in jail, you're fine. He didn t actually hurt you in any way did he? Packie asks.
"No. Jason and I are okay, Trevor just scared the hell out of me... Jason knows that I'm talking to his Uncle Packie, he's kicking like crazy." Carly says, rubbing her stomach.
"Well then, call me if you need anything." Packie says before they both said goodbye and the call ended.
"At least we have our own miniature army." Johnny says.
"True and didn't Sam say something about a career in the police force? If she did, she could call all the officers in the city in a moments notice." Carly says, calming down somewhat.
Those thoughts in the back of her mind would never really go away and Trevor being in jail was only temporary.
"Are you two going to make love or will you come on a little trip?" Carly and Johnny hear from the door, looking up to see Junior.
"Where to?" Carly says, readjusting her charcoal tank top.
"The firing range. Sam needs some time down there to prove that she can handle a weapon. I was thinking we might join her, then go around the city or something, all four of us." Junior suggests.
Carly and Johnny look at each other, nodding in agreement as long as Carly takes every safety precaution in the book.
"Okay." They say simultaneously.
"Since there's three of us, we'd better take my car." Junior says, going outside to his sheriff buffalo S.
"I haven't been in the back of one of these for years." Johnny says as they get in.
"Well no fighting because I have a loaded shotgun in the front here." Junior says as he starts the engine, briefly flashing the siren lights.
"You got it. We don't fight with each other anyway." Carly says, pulling her light brown curls into a ponytail.
'Really?! You're threatening to shoot us?! Carly thought.
When they arrived at Ammu-Nation, there was only one person at the range, that person being Sam with an AP pistol.
"Hey, Sam!" Carly says.
Sam seemed not to hear due to the ear protectors she had to wear. As Junior walked to her, Sam's hand shot behind, pulling Junior's gun from his belt before she shot multiple targets, dual firing the two guns. When all the targets were hit, she took off her protectors, handing Junior back his Combat Pistol.
"Hey. Just blowing off some steam." Sam says, walking over to Carly and hugging her.
"Usually one of the best ways to do that is shooting something." Carly says.
"Well actually, if you noticed, I'm serious about this cop thing." Sam says.
"Certainly seems so. Jason will have no worries with auntie officer Sam looking out for him." Carly says.
"Yep. Speaking of, Dad went to see Trevor in the jail cell." Sam says.
'Damn it!' Carly mouths, the other three knowing what she's thinking.
"If he comes back with half an arm, we'll know to put T down." Sam says.
"Well you can call the whole LSPD." Carly says.
"Not yet. When I m deputy sheriff, yes but not until then." Sam says, Carly's eyes widening slightly.
"Deputy?" Carly asks.
"Like I was to my dad." Junior says.
Carly nods before her phone starts ringing. She looks at it, seeing the Blaine County police station number.
"Hello?" Carly says after answering the call.
"Well, about fucking time that I got my one phone call! How you doing?!" Trevor says, phony concern at the end.
"You have some damn nerve calling me, you maniac!" Carly says angrily.
"Yeah well I thought I might as well since I'm being put somewhere somewhere I just can't escape. Nobody ever has." Trevor says, sounding more upset than the angered tone Carly had gotten use to.
"Not this time, Trevor. It's not going to work because you threatened to kill Jason and he's innocent, he hasn't done anything wrong!" Carly says, rubbing her stomach when Jason kicks, knowing that mommy's mad.
"Carly... they're putting me in the highest security prison in the country! You know, the one off the coast of San Fierro? Tiny island, two miles of cold water to the mainland." Trevor says. For once, he had given up.
"Good. You won't be able to hurt me, my husband and son or anyone else!" Carly says, angering Trevor.
"Okay, just pass me to Sam please." Trevor says, Carly holding her phone out to Sam.
"I'll tell you three ways I've betrayed you. One, I'm in love with a sheriff. Two, I'm becoming a cop and three, I'm trying to have a kid. Fuckerdy bye!" Sam hung up, her last words earning laughter from Junior but shock from Carly and Johnny.
"Sam... kid?" Carly managed to say.
"Well, we thought that after years, the damage might be gone we'll see." Sam says, Junior putting his arm around her.
"Sam... you said you couldn't keep it alive past 7 weeks." Carly says, remembering how Sam had cried that night.
"That's why I'm taking a test 10 weeks after. If it's still alive then, we might get somewhere." Sam says, patting her stomach.
Carly reached over, pulling Sam into a light hug. She was happy that little Jason might have a cousin to grow up with.
"But what if it fails?" Carly asks, Sam's face changing to a look of uncertainty.
"It might work, it might not. No promises can be made yet apart from that we're trying." Sam says.
"That's a good start. You never know until you try." Carly says.
"That is true." Sam says as they let go.
Meanwhile (Prison Transport Bus, Trevor's p.o.v)
"Yeah, I heard about that incident. What kind of man is crazy enough to threaten a pregnant woman with a knife in the hospital?!" I hear one of the other prisoners say.
'If only they knew the truth.' I thought.
"Maybe he should be locked up in a psych ward." The other one says.
"Hey, you're one to talk! You're the one who fired a firework in an elderly woman's face!" I shout back. That shut them up.
"Hey, you're all criminals in here, no one of you is better than another." The guard says. If that's so, how come people get different sentences? How come I don't get the same sentence as someone who tipped over a few bins?! I mouth off again, pissing the guard off.
"Shut up, Philips! You should be put to death for what you did, threatening to kill that woman's baby!" The guard shouts.
"That woman is a criminal, officer! The husband is also a criminal and in a biker gang! What if I was lowering the possible amount of future criminals in the world?!" I shout, only for the guard to raise the shotgun.
"Now shut up Philips. You just wait until we get to San Fierro, there's a whole load of charges waiting. Cannibalism, murder, attempted murder and millions worth of damage to property." The guard shouts.
I lean back in the seat, closing my eyes. I don't know how I'm gonna do it but I'm getting out of this mess!
Oh... maybe I am now.
I smile to myself, remaining in my current pose.
"Something funny Philips?" The guard asks.
"Oh nothing. Just thinking of what I'll do when I get home. Which is happening, don't get me wrong. You see, when I get back home, I'm going to kill that girl, child and all. Then hunt down and kill the family-" I stopped, grimacing as the guard slammed the butt of his gun into my crotch.
"And now, everybody will know that you died scratching my balls-" As I say this, a large truck slams into the bus, turning it on it's side. When it stopped, the back doors opened.
"Trevor? You in here?" Ron calls. Fucking idiot.
"Of fucking course I am, now get me out of these chains!" I yell, trying to push the dead guard off of me. Ron pulls him off and helps me up, unshackling me before we jump out the back.
"So we burn the bus?" Ron asks.
"We burn the bus, we get me clothes, then we go home." I say before we get in the truck.
Looks like there's no delay now Carly, consider little Jason history.
Switch to Carly's p.o.v
"She normally doze off like that?" I hear Junior ask Sam as I wake up. No nightmares for once... maybe things are changing for the better.
"Well hello to you too, Junior." I say, smiling sleepily. I need to quit falling asleep randomly and stay alert.
And hello to you Carly but if you fall asleep like that when Jason is born, he'll be left calling for food. Junior says.
"Got it. I'm really starting to miss caffeine." I say as Johnny puts his arm around me. Junior's a condescending asshole!
"No caffeine for you. Don't need Jason wired up before he's born." Johnny says before we kiss. I started drinking coffee when I was thirteen and now I miss it.
"Well I'm quite happy without coffee. Never been one for hot drinks." Sam says. Only now do I notice that she's got an ice cold cola.
"Well, everyone's got a different taste." I say, yawning sleepily. Just how did I end up falling asleep in the back of the car?
"Last thing I remember is being at Ammu-Nation. Why are we at the beach?" I say.
"If you notice her wet hair, Sam's been surfing." Junior says. I didn't even know she did surf. Thinking on it more Deck probably taught her.
"When and where did I fall asleep?" I ask. Last time that this happened was before Jason was created and I ended up sleepwalking and smashed up my left knee when I fell down the stairs at mine and Johnny's house.
"You were awake when I changed. You fell asleep while I was on the water." Sam says.
"Okay, at least I was in the car. History of sleepwalking, which is why I lock the doors at night." I say, stretching my arms.
"You look at your back, there's sand." Sam says.
"So I wasn't in the car hey, since when did you surf?" I ask. I don t even remember her having a surfboard.
"It may interest you to know that I've been surfing for years." Sam says. I nod sleepily, looking at Johnny.
"Thought that it'd be funny to bury me in the sand while I was asleep, didn't you?" I say. Last time that he did that, I was 15.
"Hello, this is Sam." Sam says, picking up the car's CB radio when she hears her name.
"Hello dear Sam. I'm out." Trevor says.
"Well damn, welcome home Trevor." Sam says, leaning on the open car window.
"Thank you Sam. And I've got a nice welcome for you when you get back home... you bitch!" Trevor says.
"Now don't you cuss on this here radio." Sam says, looking and winking at me.
"I apologize to all the friendly folk who are listening. You see, when you four get home, I'm going to find the tallest tree in the state... and I'm going to hang you all from it." Trevor says.
"Oh, for fuck's sake...Trevor, you fucking psycho! Haven't you got better things to do?!" I yell as loudly as I can into the CB Radio.
"Trevor?" Sam says.
"I'm listening." Trevor replies.
"Do the letters F.O mean anything to you?" Sam says. No response came apart from something hitting the back of the car.
"Fuck! He's on the beach!" I shout as Junior picks up the police radio, calling for assistance.
Sam started the car, speeding ahead towards the pier. As we went under it, the sound of Trevor crashing through a few support beams was heard. When Sam stopped the car on the other side, we all got out just in time to watch the whole pier come crashing down, roller coaster and building with it.
"I'm alright... is he... did he..." I manage to say as Johnny holds me close to him. No screaming from Trevor... is he dead?!
Our thoughts were interrupted as Trevor and his Crusader emerge from the cloud of sand, badly dented and broken but still running. Junior removed his gun from his belt, firing at Trevor. A bullet hit, causing him to veer to one side, into the concrete wall.
Trevor isn't moving, isn't screaming... is he even breathing?!
Junior runs over and pulls Trevor out of the car, throwing him to the ground.
"It's barely there but he has a pulse!" Junior says, radioing for backup and an ambulance after making sure that Trevor stays on the ground.
Trevor is barely awake but looks over at me. I know that he s imagining me with a knife in my stomach but now, that doesn't seem to be the main thing on his mind. The main thing is that Sam loves a cop. That cop has tased Trevor on numerous occasions and became one of his worst enemies.
Mount Zonah Medical Center E.R, Michael's p.o.v
"Can you stop scaring the hell out of me, please?" I say, hugging Carly and Sam. How the hell did he... actually, I don't want to know! Trevor always finds a way out of trouble. Or digs himself in deeper into trouble.
"Maybe if we just put bullets in his head, we won't have to worry." Sam says.
"The moment we kill him, we become as bad as him." Junior says.
"Yeah and given the chance, Trevor would survive an apocalypse with infected monsters trying to kill him!" Carly says.
"Alright, no more playing The Last Of Us." I say.
"Trevor ain't a problem if we get the whole state's police force on him, which I'll look into doing some time." Junior says. Some time?! What are you waiting for, my daughter and son in law to lose their child?!
Why the hell are we even here for this psycho? I want chips. Sam says.
"I would really like a cinnamon pretzel and a chicken eggroll right now...what?
That's not strange." Carly says when I give her a weird look. She's really been getting some weird cravings lately.
"Oh! Fuck yes!" Johnny shouts, looking at his phone.
"What?" Carly asks.
"The repairs to our house are done, we can move back in." Johnny says, bringing a smile to Carly s face.
"What repairs? Where have you two been lately?" I say.
"Mom drove right through the house and destroyed the walls and ceiling." Carly says. So that's why Amanda's been in jail.
"She can be stupid sometimes." I say. I've lost count of the times she's lost her temper and done something stupid.
"And might I ask if you 4 were involved in the fucking pier collapsing?!" Lester shouts as he enters the room. It s rare to see him away from his home or garment factory.
"Yep. You found out that quickly?" Carly says, carefully sitting down and propping her legs up in a nearby chair. That's my girl, never one to shy away from the truth.
"Of course I found out quickly, nearly two hundred people were killed when the pier fell! Nearly a hundred million of damage and one massive mess on the most popular beach in the state is going to draw some media attention don't you think?!" Lester says.
"Trevor started it." Carly says. Oh yeah, she's definitely a mini me.
"Well whoever's fault it is, they've got some problems. According to this that I'm looking at, the IAA decided to take on the case and have hired none other than Merryweather to hunt down and kill those responsible." Lester says, bringing looks of worry to everyone's faces apart from Sam who just smiled, almost laughing.
"Merryweather... of course." Carly says, taking a deep breath and closing her eyes, opening them a few seconds later. "We're screwed, you know that. Sam?" She says after Sam looks at her.
"Merryweather? I could take out one of their convoys with my truck and I talk from experience." Sam says, clearly finding Merryweather funny.
I was about to say something when the doctor who's been treating Trevor comes out and asks Carly if she wants to see Trevor because he's asking for her.
"He won't let anyone else in the room." The doctor says.
Carly reluctantly agrees, following the doctor.
Switch to Carly's p.o.v
Oh, how I hate him. From listening to Sam, I worked out that he tried to raise her as a killer and criminal like him but her refusal to kill stopped him. Only a complete psycho tries to raise their daughter as a killing machine! Even my father didn't try that and he was one of the biggest bank robbers in the country!
"Oh, Carly." Trevor says as I enter the room. He... almost sounds normal. I stay back a few feet, despite Trevor being restrained.
"You wanted to see me, I'm right here." I say, keeping my voice controlled.
"Carly I just wanted you to know that I don't care about the child anymore. As long as I get to see him, Jason in there will be fine." Trevor says, pointing right at my stomach.
What the hell is this?!
"You tried to kill him. No way in hell are you coming near Jason." I say, flinching a little when Jason kicks me right in the ribs. I'm starting to believe that I never really knew Trevor to begin with. I rub my stomach to try to soothe Jason because I can tell that he's mad.
"Carly, I m saying I'll leave you alone because there s something bigger than the Klebitz line." Trevor says.
Now I'm curious.
"What drugs did they shoot you up with, Trevor?" I hear Johnny say as he walks in, putting himself in front of me. I should've known that he'd follow me in here.
"No drugs and I still hate you. But I'm more interested in the other one. Sam. She's fucking a cop, trying to have kids with that cop and now, if you noticed, engaged to said cop." Trevor says. But Sam didn't have a ring! the only ring she's got is the plain one in memory of her cousin Russell, the one from Deck always kept in it's box at her cabin.
"Caroline..." Trevor says. No one else except my mom has called me by my given name.
"No. You're never getting anywhere near Jason." I say before Johnny and I leave the room. That wasn't easy to say to him... I try to fight the tears but can't.
"Listen to me! Either you accept my offer or everybody dies!" Trevor yells from inside and I can tell by his tone of voice that he's not kidding.
"Take your offer and shove it up your ass! You come anywhere near Carly and Jason, i'll kill you!" Johnny shouts before we leave the area and walk outside the hospital.
"Wh... why?! What has..." I manage to say before Johnny pulls me into his arms when I start crying.
"He doesn't deserve to see him. Trevor lost the right to be a relative of Jason when he started trying to kill him." Johnny says.
Just after Sam, Junior, Dad and Lester exit the hospital, a deafening sound fills the air, a massive orange ball of flame rising into the sky from the hospital.
"Don't worry, I'm on it!" Sam says before grabbing her phone and calling Niko.
"Again?! Who is it this time?!" Niko says after answering the phone.
"Merryweather! They're attacking the hospital!" Sam shouts as Junior grabs his phone.
"All units in LS and Blaine County, Mount Zonah Medical Center is under attack from Merryweather! Bring all the firepower you have and get down here immediately!" Junior says as I grab my phone and call Dave.
"Carly?" Dave says.
"Dave, we're in trouble! Trevor's sent Merryweather after us!" I say.
"So did the IAA. See the connection?" Dave says. Oh fuck.
"Trevor's working for them." I say.
"Yes, and he's got with them, a contract for hundreds of thousands of Merryweather units. You could say the IAA and Trevor brought most of the Merryweather company." Dave says.
"You still have any influence with the FIB?" I ask.
"I'll see what I can do, now you and Johnny get out of there!" Dave says.
"Stay safe, you two!" Dad says before hugging me.
"We will, Dad." I say before Johnny and I leave.
As we leave in Junior's car, we were stopped by hundreds of police cars of all types and liveries heading down the road, a massive convoy of vehicles, all with lights blazing.
"Damn, this is worse than the Liberty City riots from 1999!" Johnny says, seeing Military Convoy from Fort Zancudo.
"To my brother and sister in law, get the hell out of here and get home safely!" we hear Mikey Klebitz shout over the CB.
"Give em hell Mikey." Johnny replies before speeding through a gap in the convoy, heading for home. As we did, police helicopters flew overhead followed by fighter jets. Merryweather didn t stand a chance against this lot.
Klebitz house, 2 hours later, Johnny's p.o.v
"The entire city's turned into a war zone. This is crazy." Carly says, watching the news and live footage of the riots. She's right, people have lost their damn minds!
"Among the rising death toll is the majority of Merryweather Security Consulting, who were forced to stop their U.S operations after the Union Depository job back in 2013..." the newsman says.
A knock on the door causes me to turn off the TV, holding my gun. But this person had keys.
The door opens, Sam limping in with blood running down her arm from a bullet wound in her shoulder. Michael follows, a large shard of shrapnel in his cheek.
Finally, Junior came in carrying Lester who had also been shot, probably while hiding. Who's crazy enough to shoot Lester?!
"Still chaotic out there." Michael says as he closes and locks the door.
"You ain't kidding. Anything from the others?" Carly says.
"Niko and Packie managed to make it out safely." Michael says.
"Sam, you re bleeding all over our carp... that is a lot of blood." Carly says.
"Well, I pulled the thing out." Sam says.
"This is madness... Trevor's a dead man when I get my hands on him!" Carly says, standing up but I get her to sit back down. No way in hell am I letting her go out there! "Johnny I was going to help Sam." Carly says, getting up again as Junior locks the door, turning on the security system.
After a while, Sam and Carly re-emerge from the kitchen, Sam with a bandage around her shoulder wound.
"You're not going out there, Carly." Sam says as everyone can still hear the chaos outside. Carly nods in agreement but I don't blame her for being pissed off at Trevor.
"What about Mikey?" I ask. Nothing has been heard from him.
"Mikey... he went off with the rest of the soldiers when they decided it was a good idea to get out." Michael says.
"Hello? Yeah, he's right here." Carly says after answering her phone and hands it to me.
"Mikey?" I say.
"I'm alright, little brother. You and Carly make it back safely?" Mikey says.
"Yeah, we did." I say.
"Good now you need to get out of the state and the ones around it head for Vice City." Mikey says, confusing me. I put the phone on speaker.
"Why leave the state?" I ask.
"Merryweather have crossed the line. You remember that weapon they were testing? That turns out to be a super nuke and Merryweather have one of them they re gonna blow it." Mikey says, bringing total fear to everyone's faces.
"We don't have a choice..." Carly says.
"Yeah, we don't." I say.
"Yeah... Gionna, her husband and their kids are back in Vice City. Merryweather came after them in Algonquin." Mikey says.
"They went after them?! Trevor and the IAA are targeting us and anyone close to us." Carly says. Vice city doesn't sound too bad.
"That's where my mother and father moved to when dad retired." Junior says. It seeme Vice City might be the best idea.
"Well then I need to get up to Paleto Bay without using the freeway, all the freeways are closed off." Sam says.
"The Great Ocean Highway should still be open." Lester manages to say.
"For once Lester, I can say you're wrong. I'm at the roadblock on the Great Ocean Highway." Mikey says.
"Vinewood hills, past Stoner Cement Works, across the desert, around Alamo Sea and through Chilliad State Wilderness the long way but the only way." Michael says.
"Yeah... it's our only shot." Carly says.
"Got that right, little lady." Mikey says before we hang up.
Well... Vice City it is then.
