We stopped at an abandoned building that had trashed things all around and waited. We heard a plane and all stood up, looking up to see the Cameron's plane flying off. "There goes the gold." Pope said. He turned around saying, "Shit!" JJ then kicked a chair. "Fuck!" Pope yelled and threw something. "Pope!" Kie said. "God damn it!" Pope yelled and grabbed a bat, hitting many things while saying many cuss words. JJ pushed me behind him protectively as if Pope was going to go completely crazy. I was gonna stop him, but then realized that it probably had something to do with his dad. He wanted to protect me as if Pope was his dad. Then I was sad that he had to think that. "Pope!" Kie yelled as he threw a trash can. Pope sat down on a couch, almost crying. "Pope." Kie said as we walked up to him. "Yeah, dude. I was wondering when this was gonna happen." JJ told him. He then got out a jul and held it out to Pope. "Here you go chef." He said. "A little weed never hurt no one." He added. "JJ." Kie said. "Relax, Kie." JJ replied. "You know he doesn't smoke." Kiara told JJ. Pope then grabbed the jul. "Well, maybe not until today." I said and sat down next to Pope, JJ sitting on the other side. "Pope. Yeah, what is that gonna help?" Kie asked. "I lost my scholarship. Walked out in the middle of the interview. Every- It's gone. It's not gonna happen." Pope replied. "You did that for us?" Kie asked. "No, not for us. For nothing." Pope said and handed me the jul, standing up. "I'm here for you, Pope." JJ said and stood up, putting his hands on Popes shoulders. I stood up and stood beside Pope. "Welcome to our world." I told him and handed him the jul. "(Y/N), JJ." Kie said. "What Kie? He's right. It doesn't matter anymore." JJ replied as Pope walked away and leaned against a pole. "You don't have to do that." Kie told Pope as he took a hit of the jul. "What do you care?" Pope asked her. Pope then looked behind us, us looking back too to see John B. Something was wrong with him. "John B!" I said. "Dude! Dude, you good?" JJ asked at the same time along with Kie saying, "Oh my god! John B." We all ran up to him, me first and I hugged him. He hugged me back but only for a second since I pulled away. I grabbed his hands that had blood on them. "Is this yours?" I asked him. "Who's blood is that?" Kie asked. "Hey, John B, are you okay?" I asked and held his face so he looked at me. A siren then came behind us and we all hid behind the junk. When it left, we all looked at John B. We then all got in the car instead of the van, and John B told us to drive to the police station. Kie drove and John B and Pope sat in the middle seats, me and JJ in the very back while John B told us what had happened. "John B, what are we doing at the police station?" JJ asked as we pulled up. "Somebody's gotta tell them what happened." John B replied. Pope started coughing hard because of the joint we gave him. "Easy there, chief. Damn." I said. "All right. I'm just gonna be real with you right now. You might end up in the lions den, but you don't go there on purpose. It's fundamental. Just like my old man always told me, you should never trust cops, no matter what the circumstance is." JJ told JB. "Your old mans an abusive liar." Kie replied. "I agree with JJ. Fuck the police." Pope said. "You goin to the dark side now?" Kie asked. "When's the last time the police helped us?" Pope asked. "Peterkin looked out for me and (Y/N), all right? Tried to, at least." JB replied. "They need to know." JB added and then got out of the car. After not even five minutes, John B ran back out yelling, "Kie! Start the car!" "What? John B? What did you do?" Kie asked as he got in the car. "Shit!" I said as cops came out of the building and to the car. "Kie drive! Go!" We all yelled. One deputy hung onto the door as Kie drove. "Open it." I told JB. He opened the door and the deputy fell before we drove away. Since it was night, we parked at a abandoned house in the woods that had a cover. Kie and Pope sat in the front seats, and me, JJ, and John B sat in the middle seats, them leaned back all the way, and I laid on JJ's chest. Since we had turned off the car, we opened all the windows and the back trunk. The next morning, we listened as the radio talked about Peterkin. Kie turned the radio off. "Let's game this out. Maybe you guys can help, being the smart ones and all, but, who are are the cops going to believe? Ward Cameron or us? So, the accuser is a big shot developer, kind of lord of the island, got the governor on speed dial kind of person, and the accused, is John B who is... pretty much a homeless 16-year-old boy at the moment." JJ told us. Oh, I should mention that me, JJ, and Pope has been smoking half the night so we were all high, Pope more than us. "Thanks." JB replied. "Shit." Pope said. "Okay, man. Yucatan, all right? I'm saying that's the only option. What other option do you have?" JJ asked. "Enough with the Mexico bullshit. Alright? Sarah will bail me out." John B replied. "She did witness the whole thing." Kie said. "Thank you." JB replied. "And she's gonna snitch on her brother?" Pope asked. "Even if she does, like JJ said, no ones gonna believe us. And their not just gonna let a 16-year-old girl bail out a accused murderer." I said. "It's not gonna happen, bro. We've gotta get you off the island." JJ told JB. "The ferry. It's the only way." Pope said. "Yeah, exit stage left while you still can. Before the entire island is on lockdown." JJ told John B. "Guys, just getting down." Kie said as a cop car approached. I grabbed the joint JJ had in his hand and took a couple hits of it. "Sarah's not a Pogue, John B." Pope told him. "Yeah. You can't stay here, man." JJ said. After a while, we decided to drive to the town to see about the ferry. Pope got out as we parked and then came back with a flyer as he stood by the car. I was sitting in the very back now, Kie and Pope has switched positions, and John B was laying with his head against the seat he was in earlier as he put it down and JJ stayed in the same seat. "So, um, bad news. The ferry's closed, and there is this." Pope said and handed Kie the paper. "What is that? What is this?" John B asked as Kie handed JJ the paper. I looked over JJ's shoulder to see the paper was a wanted paper for John B. "Well, John B, uh, this is a good farmer of you." JJ said and held up the paper to him. "Okay, so, the whole islands lookin for John B right now." Pope said. "That's a lot of money." Kie told us, referring to the 25k price on John B. "Congratulations, John B. You're now famous." I told him. "Guys, we gotta get to the HMS. I mean, it's small, no running lights-." John B cut Kie off. "It's at the Château, Kie." He said. "And I wonder if the cops got the entire place staked out. Let me think. Oh, yeah. No. Yeah, they definitely have that place locked down." JJ added. "Yeah, copy that." Kie replied. "Let me think. Just give me a second. Just give me a second. JJ." Pope said and turned around to face him. "What?" JJ asked. "Does your dad still have that boat? The cigarette boat, the Phantom. The one he used to race." Pope asked. "Maybe." JJ replied. "You could get right up the coast, no problem." Pope said. "It's not going to be easy Pope. I don't know where the keys are." JJ replied as Pope started the car. "Well find them." Pope said. "I'm thinking." JJ replied. "Why is nobody moving foreword?" Pope asked. "Can you relax? (Y/N), JJ, how much weed did you give him?" Kie asked us. "Guys. The cars in the poster." John B told us. Pope then honked the horn saying, "Can we move please?" He then kept honking it as Kie yelled at him. We then heard, "Thats the guy, right there." We looked to see a kid with his mom, pointing to John B. "Shit. We gotta snitch." I said. "Pope, turn the car on." JJ told him. A man then banged on the window saying, "He's right there!" We all yelled at Pope to turn the car on. Pope did and then rammed into a car. "Just go!" I told him. Pope drove away wildly. "What are you doing?" Kie asked. "We'll bump out." JJ said. Pope then ran into a mailbox, and me and Pope started laughing. "I'm livin my best life now." He said. "I should be the last one to tell you this, but you are not okay to drive, dude. Stop!" JJ told Pope. Pope slammed onto the breaks in the middle of the road. "John B, get out." Pope told John B. "He's right. We'll draw the cops, you run." I said. "Shit." John B said and opened the door. "I'll get the rig, and I'll meet you in the dump tomorrow okay? Three o'clock. Okay? Three o'clock tomorrow at the dump." JJ told John B as he got out and ran. "Go, go, go, go." I told Pope as I put up the seat John B was laying on and sat down in it. Pope drove off as wildly as he did before. We were now driving around as the sun was going down. Pope and Kie stayed the same, but JJ was now laying against the door, and I was in between his legs like we do in the van. "Pope, you clocked that car, man. Like that was so bad!" JJ said, laughing. Now me, him, and Pope were very high and each had a joint in our hands. "I'm just glad I'm not driving now." Pope replied, making me and JJ laugh. "Pull over." Kie told Pope who turned a hard corner before stopping. "It's not funny. He shouldn't be driving." Kie told me and JJ. "Mama's mad." JJ said, making me laugh. Pope climbed into the seat Kie was in as Kie walked to the other side. "Where are we going?" I asked Kie as she drove. "The last place their gonna look." Kie replied. By the time it was dark, we were at the Cameron's. "Perfectly focused." Pope said as him and Kie got out of the car. "You sure this is a good idea?" JJ asked. "She's the only one who can clear John B." Kie replied. "Last place they'll look because of how stupid it is." I told them as they both climbed over the wall, Pope struggling a bit. I laughed at him as he grunted and he fell over the wall. "Hey, John B will be okay." JJ said and rubbed my arm with his hand that was already around me. "Way to kill the mood." I replied. "I'm serious." JJ told me. After a while I replied, "I know." I sat up and turned around to face him. He looked at me confusingly before I kissed him. His hand moved up to my hair as I moved closer to him. After a while we pulled away. "I love you." He told me as he cupped my face. I smiled. "I love you too." I said before kissing him again. We pulled away when Kie and Pope came back. "Gross." Pope told us. "Oh shut up." I said. "It's disturbing and PDA." Pope told me. "Oh, really?" I asked, nodding. "Really." Pope replied. "Mm. Okay." I said and grabbed JJ's neck, kissing him. "Ah! Stop!" Pope said and threw something at us. I pulled away and grabbed it, realizing it was his hat, and threw it back at him. He then threw it back and I threw it back and so on. "Okay! Enough!" Kie said. I threw it back one more time before stopping. Kie then drove to her restaurant and we slept there.
