 Sky read quietly on Rafe's bed, enjoying the rare calm between the two. They hadn't talked about their relationship and Sky was grateful for that. She wasn't ready to talk about it, not now. They heard a car pull up in the driveway and Rafe stood up quickly, leaving the room without a word to Sky.

"Rafe?"

He didn't answer. She followed him into the  house but saw only Ward there. And he saw her too. His eyes closed for a brief moment before he turned to his son.

"Go home. Skylar." Ward said.

She saw the blood on his shirt. She realised. She had to warn the pogues, make sure they were okay. She looked at the two Camerons and then without waiting, took off running, like a coward. She heard Rafe yell her name and start chasing her just before he was stopped by his father.

She ran toward the castle. Her legs were weak after the many miles of running and her throat ached from the abnormal breathing. JJ was the first to greet her.

"Omg, Skylar. Where have you been ? I was so worried about you! "he exclaimed.

Skylar felt her breathing calm down when she saw him.

"JJ, JJ... I think Ward killed someone. I was at Rafe's and-"

JJ interrupted her.

"You were where?" he yelled.

"I know, i know. Lemme finish. I was at Rafe's and suddenly Rafe comes down and I see Ward. Ward with blood all over him, like he slit a pig's throat. It was like a massacre.

Jj remained silent.

"First, I'm gonna kill you if you see Rafe again, I swear. Second of all, we saw Ward kill Gavin." he said.

The girl's mouth fell open in shock but she said nothing. She went inside and JJ, Pope and Kie explained everything to her from start to finish. 

... 

"This is the north drain. It should've gotten washed into the gully." JJ said.

The pogues had gone to the drain to retrieve the gun Ward had used when he killed Gavin.

JJ continued.

"So, if it got flushed out from this drain, it would've been pushed out, like --.

"Somewhere in this trash." finished Pope.

Kie sighed.

"Oh my god. People who use plastic should be shot." she said.

Pope looked up at her.

"Okay, personaly. I love plastic. Use it every day. Love that stuff." he teased.

"Hopefully, you recycle it and don'T let it flush into the ocean."

Pope smiled.

"I tought you'd say something like that, so... trash bags." he said as he pulled out his little bags.

Kie smiles.

"Did you just proatically protect the environment?"

Sky watched them silently as her friend's cheeks turned slightly pink. She exchanged an annoyed look with her brother.

"Maybe."

"You want us to leave you two alone, of what's going on ?" jj said.

Sky smiled as her brother barely caught the bags Pope had thrown.

After an hour or so, they had finally picked up all the trash but the gun was nowhere to be found.

"So... it's in the drain." concluded JJ.
