"Look, he'll come around, alright? He's doing a JJ thing" John b said

The Pogues were at Kie's parents restaurant now, just talking about what had happened.

"You think he'll go home?" Kie wondered

"There's about a zero percent chance that JJ goes home" Pope replied

"I really hope that" Blake looked at Pope

"You okay?" John b asked Sarah. Of course JJ just left somewhere with dirty money and he was concerned about Sarah.

"Yeah" the blonde nodded "Are you?" She asked him back

"I mean, I'm in one piece, so..." John b sighed

"Okay. It's too dangerous to pawn this thing off piecemeal. So our best bet is to go down there and get the rest of it. Bring it all up at once. Put it in a safe or a vault or something" Pope started talking about the gold again

"Well, while you discuss that I'm going to look for JJ" Blake stood up "My bet is still Switzerland" she said sarcastically

"Hey, don't" John b tried to stop her

"Let her" Kie said letting the girl go "If there's someone who can bring JJ back is her" she added

It took Blake nearly an hour, but she finally found Jj walking down the street with the bag filled with money in his hand.

"J, stop" she called out, but the boy wouldn't stoo walking "JJ, I know you can hear me" she called out again, but no response

Blake walked faster and put a hand on his shoulder making him freeze on the spot.

"Can you look at me?" she asked and slowly Jj turned around to meet her brown eyes

A few moments of silence passed between the two, nothing was said, just blue eyes focused on brown ones.

"What?" Finally Jj asked her

"Leave the money, J. Don't get into more problems" the girl told him impatiently

It was just the two of them and Blake didn't need to put her tough facade on or anything, she could tell him everything she wanted.

"I'm not going to let you pay again, Woods" Jj shook his head

"Who do you own money?" Blake asked him confused. She bailed him out of jail but he still owed money...to who?

"I'm not going to tell you" Jj shook his head again

"What?" she asked hin when JJ already started to walk away "Let me come with" she stopped him

"No, Blake" Jj didn't move

"I have the gun. Whatever you got into, you might need protection"  she explained. Jj shivered when he heard that.

"I don't want you playing hero again" he turned around to face her

"Playing hero?" she frowned

"What you did back there was the most stupid thing that has ever crossed your fucking mind" Jj was slowly raising his voice

"Oh yeah! Sorry for saving all our asses" Blake raised her voice too

"It was totally not necessary" Jj yelled even more

"Not necessary? We were being robbed JJ, did you want to lose the gold after everything we've been through?" Blake got closer to him

"I don't care about the fucking gold! Do you even know how scared we were?" the boy walked closer to her menacingly "Of course you don't! Pretty Blake Woods, always the hero until one day when she isn't anymore because she's damn stupid" he was basically yelling in her face now and not letting her talk
