The gold John b got was melted by Kiara and soon the five Pogues and Sarah Cameron stood outside Kildare's pawn shop.

"Hell of a job melting it down, Dr. Frankenstein" JJ commented as he took the gold

Turns out Kie wasn't the best at melting gold, but still it worked so it was fine.

"Like you could've done better" The girl replied annoyed

"I could have" the blonde pointed out "I took a welding class, remember Blake?" he asked the girl standing beside him

"Yeah he did. I had to drive him there everyday" she replied

"When was that?" Kie asked still angry

"Whoa, whoa. Chill out, okay?" John b stood in between them

"Easy for you to say. You're not the one that has to pawn this piece of shit off" JJ scoffed "How did I get this job anyway?" he asked

"Cause you're the best liar" Pope replied

"What do you mean? Blake is much better" Jj tried to get himself off the job

"I'm not a liar, I'm just manipulative" The girl quickly replied "And I can't go in there, they know my dad and of course, that the Woods would never sell gold in a rusty pawnshop in the Outer Banks and rather just go back to England with it" she explained

"If the Sheriff finds out we're screwed" Pope added

"I've got a radar on me at all times since my dad was arrested by the FBI" Blake also said

"Okay fine, let's go. How much should I ask for again?" JJ asked the brunette girl

"I've made a few calls and around 140 but in a place like this they won't offer that much" Blake replied. The pogues have collectively made her the leader of the mission knowing she had direct contact with people that knew about this things "Just negociate and don't accept anything less that 70" she told him

"K, let's go" Jj gave her a quick kiss on the cheek and soon Blake was left alone at the door of the pwn shop waiting for her friends

Blake just looked through her phone while she waited for her friends. At least Sarah could have stayed outside with her but she had stay not an inch away from John b at all times.

She just looked up from her phone for a second when she saw someone she'd never think in a million years she would see right there in Kildare Island.

William Woods, her uncle.

He was dressed in a dark suit and wore sunglasses hiding his eyes. What shocked her most that her English uncle being in the Outer Banks was that he was talking with none other than Ward Cameron.
They seemed to be having a heated conversation, an argument even.

Before she could approach her uncle, her friends came out of the pawn shop.

"You alright?" JJ asked her

"Yeah sure uh...how much did you get?" Blake stopped looking that way and focused on the blonde boy. If thatw as her uncle, she'd see him later at home.

"She told us to go to a warehouse to get the money" he replied

"A warehouse? How weird" Blake frowned

The Pogues were on their way to the warehouse in John b's van. Blake didn't speak much and that worried her friends because she never shuts up.

"You are acting weird, what's wrong?" Jj asked her putting an arm round her shoulders

"It's just that I saw my uncle earlier" she responded not wanting to talk about Ward Cameron with Sarah being there
