Moments later John B comes running back to us. "Kie! Start the car!" He yells opening the back door. "Start the car!" He yells again. "John B what did you do?!" She asks. She quickly starts the car as an officer tries to open John B's door. "Drive!" We all yell. And with that, we're on the move.

I sit back into my seat, leaning into JJ as I was scared. He continued to yell things at Kie while he kept his arm around me. The officer was now holding onto John B's open window. "Open the door" I tell him. He opens it, causing the officer to fall. Everything went silent after that.

The next morning we found ourselves parked at least 50 feet from the road, hidden under a roof. I laid in between John B and JJ in the backseat of Kie's car. JJ had his baseball cap covering his eyes with of course, a cigarette in his mouth. We laid there and listened to the radio with police sirens in the distance. John B routledge, my brother, was now the most wanted person in Kildare county.

JJ sat up, leaning on his elbow as he watched two police cars fly down the road. I sat there, staring at the ceiling. "And still no arrest in the shooting death of sheriff Susan Peterkin, the state police have issued a statement regarding a person of interest, a juvenile from-" the radio guy was cut off when Kie turned of the radio.

"Let's figure this out, maybe guys can help being the smart ones and all but.. who are the cops going to believe? Ward Cameron, or us? So the accuser is a big shot developer, got the governor on speed dial kinda person and the accused, is John B... who is pretty much a homeless 16 year old boy at the moment" JJ says. "Thanks" John B replies. "JJ's got a point" I mumble.

"Ok man, Yucatán, that's the only option. What other option do you have?" JJ asks. "JJ stop alright? Sarah's gonna bail me out" John B replies. "Come on, you haven't even known her that long... who's to say she won't drop you?" I ask. "I mean she did witness the whole thing" Kie replies to me. "Thank you" John B adds. "And she's gonna snitch on her brother?" Pope backs me up.

"Not happening bro, ok? We gotta get you off the island" JJ says. "The ferry, It's the only way" Pope adds. "Yeah exit while you still can, man... before the entire island is on lockdown" JJ looks straight at my brother. "Guys just get down" Kie says, referring to JJ who was sitting up. Another police car rode by.

"As nice as she is, Sarah's not a pogue John B" I say. "Yeah, you can't stay here man" JJ shakes his head once again. As much as it would pain me to see him go, he couldn't be here anymore. It wasn't safe.

We drove down to the ferry to get John B off the island. Pope got out to go check only to find out it was closed. He also found a wanted poster with my brother's face plastered on it, and a $25,000 dollar reward.

He handed Kie the poster as he got into the front seat. Her jaw dropped. "What is this?" John B asks. I look at the poster in JJ's hands as I lean my head on his shoulder. "Well John B, this is a good framer of you" He turns the paper towards my brother. John B rolls his eyes.

"Ok so the whole island's looking for John B" Pope says. "Congratulations John B you're now famous" JJ hands the poster to my brother. "Ok guys we gotta get to the hms ok it's small, no running lights" Kie says. "It's at the chateau Kie" John B says. "That place is swarming with cops right now" I say.

"I wonder if they have that entire place staked out, let me think oh yeah no they definitely do" JJ says as he rubs my shoulder. "Ok let me think for a sec..." he pauses before his eyes go wide. "JJ" he turns back towards us. "What" he asks.

"Doss your dad still have that boat?" Pope asks. Ah yes, I had totally forgotten about he phantom. Me and JJ used to hang out in his dad's grange all the time where the thing was parked. "He could get right up the coast no problem" Pope says, turning to face forward again.

"It's not going to be easy Pope" JJ tries to back out of it. "I don't know where the keys are" he adds. The truth was JJ knew how much the boat meant to his dad. He swore that Luke loved that thing more than himself.

Pope started to become frustrated with the cars in front of us. "JJ how much weed did you give him?" Kie asks. "Guys stop! The car's here, it's on the poster" John B tries to get his friends to be quiet. Suddenly a boy probably around 13 or 14 points to us.

"Look it's the guy, that guy right there!" He shouts. "Shit!" Kie mumbles. "Pope hurry up we gotta go" I say. "Pope, turn the car on" JJ's grip around me becomes tighter. I could tell he was worried. Suddenly someone bangs on the back window causing us all of us to jump. "He's right there! I found him" the man says

John B turns his head into the side of my leg, covering his head with his sweatshirt. The people outside started to argue over the reward. "Pope turn the car on!" Kie yells. "I can't!" Pope replies. Finally, the car turns over and Pope slams on the gas peddle, rear ending the car in front of us and sending us all flying.

"Pope just go!" We all yell. He pushes the parked car in front of us about 5 feet before turning and speeding out of the park. "Hey!" The police officer yells but we all keep going.

"And that adds another felony to my list" I say as we drive down the skinny road leading more into the island. "Also, Pope are you sure you know how to drive?" I ask. "Not a clue" he replies.
