CHILDHOOD SWEETHEARTS

After reaching the Chateau, Trinity was relieved to see no cops around, only caution tape which her car wasn't even on the inside of, so technically driving off wouldn't be taking evidence from a crime scene.

Trinity got in her car and smiled, but didn't wanna stick around. She quickly sped off and went to her Dad's. After pulling into the driveway she saw Matt sitting on the steps of the porch not looking happy, he got up once he saw his daughter's car pulling up and waited for her to go over.

"Hi, Dad,"

"Where have you been?!" He shouts.

"At Sarah's and John B's,"

"Oh, John B," He repeats, "Just the person I want you around."

Trinity closes her eyes and frantically shakes her head, "Dad, John B didn't do anything--"

"Is that why every cop on the Island is looking for him? Because he did absolutely nothing?"

Trinity tears up, "Dad please believe me--"

"The cops are saying that he killed--"

"It wasn't him! I was there okay?! I saw what happened and so did Sarah which is why I'm going back to Figure Eight because I need to see her,"

Matt shakes his head, "Trinity, you can't go out as normal! The Island will be going into lockdown and if they don't find John B - guilty or not, it's going to get a lot more serious, there will be armed guards--" Matthew never used Trinity's whole name unless he was very angry at her or it was something very serious and right now Trinity could barely tell which one was the reason now.

"That isn't happening now so I still have time!" She shouts.

"Trinity! It's not going to be safe!"

"I know Dad--"

"You haven't even been home - you don't tell me where you are, you don't go to work, I just have to sit around and wait for you to show up but if you don't I'm out making sure you haven't ended up dead it a ditch!"

Trinity shakes her head she had completely forgot about work and was defiantly going to be fired, "Dad, I'm so sorry but I need to see Sarah," She says heading off to her car but Matt was following, not ready to give up yet.

"You understand that you being on his side is putting you in just as much trouble?!" He shouts through the locked door as Trinity starts her car.

"I'm sorry," She says before completely driving off and heading back to Figure Eight. She drives in silence and faster than she should so she can get to Sarah as quick as she could.

As she's passing over the bridge she notices the blue cop cars behind her. There's two and both of their sirens started going off and Trinity knew exactly what they were going to ask, and it had nothing to do with her speeding. She pulls over and steps out of her car.

Shoupe pulls over right beside her and heads over to her, staring through her windows. "Have you seen your Pogue friend recently? I'm sure you know which one I'm looking for."

"Yeah, he's hiding under the hood of my car." She says fixing her hair from the wind and leaning back on the car.

Shoupe looks her in the eye and flicks his eyebrows up, "That mouth might cause you some trouble down the line, mind if we search your vehicle?"

Trinity knew she had nothing to hide so she took a few steps and allowed the cops to raid her car quickly. "Where were you headed?"

"The Cameron's," She says.
